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 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: "I love you mate" they said in unison.
Their love making continued and they made each other mindless with pleasure for hours. Finally falling asleep in each others arms as the sun began to set.
The first rays of sunlight drifted over the land and broke through the trees over the newly mated couple. The male of the couple opened his eyes to dawn but the female growled at the light, turned her head away, and snuggled into his chest.
Sesshomaru smirked at his new mates antics. He wanted to let her sleep but today was the day they found Naraku and that called for her to be awake. He leaned down and nuzzled her neck but she growled at him in annoyance. He noted she was definately not a morning person.
"Kagome, you need to wake up." he said.
She mumbled something unintelligable and wriggled around. He sighed and tried again, he was met with a sound of negative.
"Kagome, you have to get up." he said and shook her shoulders lightly.
"Why?" she asked coming half awake.
"It is morning and we are going after Naraku." he stated.
"Ugh, fine. I didn't want to finish that wonderful dream anyhow." she said.
He chuckled at her. She was something else, a anamoly, a puzzle, and he wouldn't have her any other way. She was absolutely perfect to him. And she was all his.
"Oww." she hissed as she rose from the ground.
She turned to look at Sesshomaru and saw a look of angelic innocence on his face and she glared at him. He quirked an eyebrow at her.
"Problems, Miko?" he asked, teasingly.
"I'm in pain and it is your fault." she hissed again.
"You didn't complain once about it last night, either." he said with a grin.
She rolled her eyes and made for her clothes. She growled when she found what was left of her top and bra. Her skort was fine though, for that she was thankful.
"Did you have to cut my top and bra?" she asked.
"No but it was in the way of my destination." he said.
"Next time, don't. I don't have a top now and I am not walking around naked up top." she said.
"No you won't. No one will see your body but me." he said as he handed her his outer haori.
"Thank you." she said and slipped it around her shoulders and belted it.
Soon they were both clothed and heading back to the camp. When they got there everyone was awake, eating, and waiting for them.
"Kagome!" Shippo cried as he spotted them.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin and Jaken said together.
Shippo ran to her and leapt into her arms. He snuggled up to her and hugged her around the neck. He let her go and turned to Sesshomaru and cocked his head at him.
"So your my new father." he said.
Sesshomaru nodded at the kit. Shippo leapt from her arms and landed on Sesshomarus' shoulder and looked him dead in the face.
"Yes, you are good. I can tell." he said and jumped down and bounded back over to Rin.
"What was that?" he asked her.
"That was my son looking to see if you were the right one for his mother." she said.
"Hmn." he responded.
"Are you ready to go?" Sango asked.
"Sure. I can eat as we go." Kagome said to them and gathered her things.
They group headed in the direction Kagome gave them. The moved closer and closer to the mountains as the day went on. By nightfall they were at the base of the trails leading into the mountains.
"I am tired, hungry, and sweaty. I reek! I need a bath." Kagome said.
"I do too, but I will wait for you to take yours." Sango said.
"Yeah if I find a hot spring." she said back.
"There is one not far from here." Sesshomaru said lightly.
"Oh, I love you so much." Kagome said and grabbed her bathing supplies.
"Kagome, when you get back can I use your shampoo?" Sango asked.
"You can use all of my stuff." Kagome replied.
"Can I take a bath too?" Shippo asked.
"Yes you can. You, Kirara, and Rin shall take one with me. Well, may Rin bathe with me Sesshomaru-sama?" Sango asked the Taiyoukai.
"Yes slayer she may." he said to her.
"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama." Rin said as Sango nodded at him.
"Letch stay here." Sango said to Miroku.
"You wound me my dear Sango." he said feigning hurt.
"I will wound you." she growled.
He laughed awkwardly and rubbed the back of his head. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the monk and jumped into a tree to keep a lookout over the camp.
"Can we go?" Kagome asked him.
He nodded and they left for the springs. Above the departing couple, out of sight was a little girl. Solid white was her appearance. White skin, white hair, white clothes, white flowers, and dull lifeless eyes. In her hands was a mirror that was given to her by her master. Her master had sent her to find the object of his desire and she had found it.
The little miko was why she was there. Her master wanted to know the whereabouts of the miko and through the mirror he could see that she was near him and with a male.
"Follow them, Kanna." a dark voice came to the small girl.
"Yes master." she said, her voice almost inaudible.
She did as she was told and followed them. Her master had no fear of her being caught by the demon with the miko. The girl had no scent, no heart beat, no emotions, no aura, no way of being detected. She was a void, she was almost lifeless and that kept her from ever being found out. She was the perfect spy, she never made a noise and the Taiyoukai would never know she was there holding a mirror for him to watch.
"So close. I will have her." the voice said.
Kanna followed the two to a hot spring and stood in a tree. At a position, the two at the spring wouldn't see her but her master could get to watch what the miko was doing. Her master didn't like what the miko was doing or what the demon with her was doing with or to her. It enraged him.
Her master was raging and she knew that she and her sister, Kagura, would be where he placed his wrath. She, herself, couldn't feel pain but Kagura could. He would not bother with her for long but Kagura, he would torture and leave a bloodied and broken heap on the floor. She wished she could feel pain in those moments to take some of her sisters pain.
"Return Kanna. I have need of you here." her master commanded.
She disappeared from the tree tops without a sound and slowly made her way back to her master. He had need of her, need of her to make her bleed and to make her watch the pain of her sister. She truly hoped the miko would get the jewel and save them from her masters cruelty.
