Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha.
Authors Note: So everyone will know in this fic Inuyasha already had Tetsusaiga when Kikyo bound him to the tree. There won't be any trip with the black pearl, alright? Good. Also this is my fic so I can do it that way.
Last Time: He had broken off her stream of words by descending upon her mouth to finish her thought. He, too, had wanted to finally kiss a flesh and blood her and now it was so. After a long moment they pulled away and breathed.
"Yuck." they heard Shippo remark.
"Don't even think it hentai." Sango said.
"My dear Sango, I wouldn't even without your permission." Miroku said.
"Keh. Get some sleep." was all Inuyasha remarked.
That is what they did. They fell to sleep in each others' arms, finally able to touch one another.
The morning sun had not risen before Inuyasha was waking them all. He had woken Miroku, Sango, and Shippo. He had made his way over to Sesshomaru and Kagome and was about to shake her when Sesshomaru growled. It was low and full of warning. Inuyasha jumped back but continued to stand before them.
"Don't even think about it." Sesshomaru growled.
"Keh, wake her up, we have to go." Inuyasha said.
"I will wake her when I feel she needs to be awoken." he said.
"Whatever." Inuyasha said and turned to sit by the embers of their fire.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo had all fallen back to sleep while Inuyasha had been conversing with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha saw they were asleep and yelled.
"Wake up! We have to get moving." he yelled.
He immediately regretted yelling. He not only startled the little girl that had come with Sesshomaru, the green imp, the two headed dragon, his friends, but he had also half way awoke Kagome. She had only taken note of the sun not being up, yelled back.
"SIT!" she yelled as she snuggled to go back to sleep.
Inuyasha thudded back to the ground with a curse and cursed some more when he pulled himself out of his hole to see Sesshomaru smirking at him.
"What are you smirking at you bastard?" he asked.
"A stupid hanyou." he said back.
"I'll show you stupid." Inuyasha said and came towards him.
"Inuyasha, sit." Kagome mumbled in her sleep.
"Yes you showed me stupid." Sesshomaru said as Inuyasha plummetted again.
"Kaaagome stop it!" Inuyasha said as he plied himself from the ground.
"Hmmm." she said as she stretched and sat up.
Kagome looked around and saw that Inuyasha was pulling himself up out of a hole. She looked behind her to see Sesshomaru smirking, she could see that he enjoyed watching Inuyasha smash into the ground.
"Inuyasha would you please shut-up? We were trying to sleep but you seem to have woken everyone." she said.
"Who cares. We need to get moving and get to Naraku." Inuyasha said.
"We know. Your not thinking Inuyasha. What is the point going after him if we have not rested enough. We won't have enough strength and we could be easily beaten. Also we need to have a good breakfast." she said.
Inuyasha huffed. Their friends nodded at Kagome and laid back down to finish getting their sleep. Kagome snuggled back against Sesshomaru but she didn't feel like going back to sleep. She was a bit worried about what was going to happen when they faced Naraku.
Sesshomaru sensed her worry and tightened his grip on her. She huffed and looked at him. She knew he wanted to know what was worrying her and he wanted to know right then.
"Sesse, what do you think will happen when we find Naraku? Will we win and get the jewel back?" she asked.
"We will fight and we will win. We will get the jewel back and you will get rid of it." he said.
"Oh. But I'm not sure how I could get rid of it. The wish needs to be a pure wish. How can I make a pure wish? Anything I think of would just cause the wish to be tainted." she said.
"Miko you need to worry less about you making a tainted wish and worry more about Naraku making a wish. Your wish will be made with good intentions while his could destroy us all." he said.
"Your right. But what can I do? Just wish the jewel out of existance?" she asked.
"Yes." he said.
"Oh. Sesse I am afraid to do that." she said.
"Why?" he asked.
"The jewel is how I got here. But if I make it disappear will that not make me disappear from here?" she asked.
Sesshomaru was silent. He really had no idea what to tell her. Now that she had said it, he too wondered if she would disappear with it.
Taking his silence as a sign as to that he didn't know; Kagome sighed and listened to his breathing. She sat there and thought about what would happen, would she stay after she made the wish? Would she disappear and never be with Sesshomaru again? If so was there a way they could make sure that she stayed?
"Sesse?" she said to get his attention.
"Hmn?" he said.
"Is there a way to make sure I stay with you after I make the wish on the jewel?" she asked.
"I do not know miko but if there is a way I will find it. You will not make the wish on the jewel until I do." he said.
"That is easier said than done. Almost every demon out there is after the jewel and I will be under constant attack until it is gone." she said sadly.
"You will be with me at my palace and no lower level demon would dare come after you there, even for the jewel." he said.
"There is also another thing we need to discuss." she said.
"That is?" he asked.
"What are we to do if the barrier around the jewel dissipates before we get to him?" she asked.
"Lady Kagome gives a valid point." Miroku interrupted.
"The bastard will go down." Inuyasha said to Miroku.
"We will fight and he will be defeated." Sesshomaru said.
"Aren't you Mister Confident." she said sarcastically.
"I am confident that you are stronger than you believe and I am the strongest there is." he said matter-of-factly.
"Arrogant that is what you are." she said, teasing.
"It is not arrogance if it is true, only fact." he said.
"You are right." she said to him.
"But Kagome should you even be at the fight?" Sango asked with great concern.
"Yes, Sango, why wouldn't I be there?" she asked.
"Naraku is not only after the jewel remember." Sango said.
Kagome sighed as she felt Sesshomaru stiffen behind her. Time for some explaining.
"Explain." he said.
"Naraku tried to make a deal with us. He said he would give us the jewel in return for something else." she said.
"Kagome just tell the bastard straight out." Inuyasha rudely interrupted.
"Naraku wanted to trade the jewel for me." she said quietly.
Kagome waited for Sesshomaru to say something he never did, he growled. Kagome was a little frightened because the growl that was eminating from him was a very unpleasant one. She turned to look at him and stared into red eyes. He was angry.
Sesshomaru stood abruptly, causing her to tumble from his lap and land with an "oof." He leaned down and picked her up, sweeping her over his shoulder. He turned to the group and gave an order that not a one of them dared to disobey.
"Stay here! We will be back, don't come after us." he said and stalked away.
"Where is Sesshomaru-sama going?" the little girl that had come with Sesshomaru asked.
Miroku turned to the little girl and gave her a smile. She returned it.
"What is your name?" he asked her.
"Rin." she said simply.
"Well, Rin, Sesshomaru-sama is taking Lady Kagome with him because she is your new mommy and someone is trying to take her away." he explained to the child.
"She is my new mommy?" she asked, her face brightening.
Miroku nodded at her and she smiled then ran to the imp that had come with her.
"Master Jaken, did you hear that? I have a new mommy." she squealed.
"I heard. Now pipe down." he ordered.
Rin didn't pipe down and was letting everyone know her excitement about having a new mommy. Shippo was happy as well.
"That means you are my sister." he told Rin.
"How is that?" she asked.
"Kagome is my mommy. She found me and takes care of me." he said.
"That is what Sesshomaru-sama did. You are my little brother." she said.
"Yeah, only I am older than you." he said.
"You are? But you are smaller than me." she said.
"Yeah, I know. I am about 40 years old though. I am a demon." he said.
"Just like Sesshomaru-sama." she said.
"Yes, just like him." he said.
"Huh, Sesshomaru-sama is a demon and Lady Kagome is human, so that means any brothers or sisters we get will be half demons." she said.
"Yeah so?" Inuyasha added.
"Hmm, it would be nice. I can't wait to get a baby brother or sister." she said.
Miroku chuckled at the girl, she didn't know how right she was going to be.
Authors Note: Here is another chapter. I don't know if it is just me but I feel as if this chapter is a little choppy..
