Chapter 6: Mommy

Kagome had to get out of there, Sesshomaru had officially lost it. The darkness swallowed Kagome and she went limp in Sesshomaru's hold. Sesshomaru's arm stayed tight around her waist possessively. "You will be mine."

- - - -

Kouga's eyes snapped open as he heard Kagome scream for him in the distance. He looked around to find both Kagome and Sesshomaru gone. "That bastard," Kouga growled and sped off after the inu youkai's scent. 'Don't worry Kagome, I'm coming.'

No matter how hard he tried Kouga couldn't match Sesshomaru's speed and he soon lost him. It didn't really matter though Kouga knew where to go; the only problem was it would take him a few days to get there at best on foot and Sesshomaru only a couple of hours flying at top speed.

'If that bastard lays a finger on her I'll rip him to shreds myself,' he thought as he continued at top speed toward the castle in the west.

- - - -

As Kouga had predicted, it only took Sesshomaru a couple hours to reach his home. When he landed by the entrance he was immediately tackled by a small girl.

"Lord Sesshomaru, you're back!" shouted a happy Rin. Then Kagome caught her attention. "Who is the pretty lady? Is she ok?" she asked noticing Kagome's unconscious state.

"You remember Kagome; she's here to be you new mother. She's just sleeping right now." Sesshomaru answer the girl.

"Wow, she looks so different," Rin stared wide eyed at the woman in Sesshomaru's arms.

"Yes, she does. Come now Rin." Sesshomaru walked into the castle with Rin trailing behind him with a big smile on her face. Sesshomaru gave Kagome her own room for now. He had some time before the stupid ookami showed up. Time to gain Kagome's trust.

"Rin, why don't you stay here until she wakes up," Sesshomaru stated more then asked, but the little girl simply nodded and sat down in a chair next to the bed and stared at Kagome as she slept. Sesshomaru had some work to take care of, he had been away for a while and his work had been piling up in his absence.

He didn't worry about Kagome running away when she awoke. Rin would keep her from that he was sure. The girl was sweet, innocent, and persistent.

A couple hours passed and the poison finally worked its way through Kagome's system and she began to stir. When she opened her eye's she saw a young girl staring happily at her. She looked oddly familiar.

"Mommy, you're awake," Rin yelled and forced Kagome to cover her ears.

"Rin is that you? You got so big!" Kagome started not realizing what the young girl had called her.

"Yep, Rin is growing," she said and gave a toothy grin. "It's ok if Rin calls you mommy, right?" she asked after the fact.

"What?" Kagome shot back. "Why would you want to call me mommy?"

"Because, Lord Sesshomaru said Kagome was here to be Rin's new mommy," she explained to a none-to-happy Kagome.

"Well, Rin I don't--" Kagome was cut off by the cutest, saddest puppy dog eyes she'd ever seen. "Alright," she sighed. It couldn't hurt to make the girl happy while she tried to get out of here. She knew Sesshomaru wouldn't make it easy for her.

"Yay!" Rin yelled while jumping up and down. "Rin has a new mommy, Rin has a new mommy," she sang repeatedly until Kagome scooped her up in her arms.

"Alright now, I think that's enough," she told the girl. Rin merely nodded her head and smiled up at Kagome. 'Now what?' she thought to herself.

'We get the hell out of here,' her youkai hissed.

'But how?' the more rational voice of her miko side asked.

'We could start by opening the door,' the youkai suggested sarcastically.

'Do you really think Sesshomaru would make it that easy?' the miko shot back.

'Ok, ok. Everyone just calm down. I'm going to look outside the door,' Kagome told them. She put Rin down and moved for the door.

"Mommy, where are you going?" Rin asked as she trailed behind her.

"Nowhere," Kagome told the girl. She opened the door expecting a few guards or for it to be locked or maybe both, but it was none of the above. She walked out into the hallway and looked both ways. The halls seemed to go on forever in both directions. Kagome sighed, how was she going to find her way out.

"Do you want to go outside, Mommy?" Rin asked innocently. Kagome nodded her head. She felt really bad using Rin like she was and for lying to her but she didn't want to see Rin upset and she needed help. Rin led her to a set of doors that Kagome had to help her open. They lead out to a beautiful enclosed garden.

'Damn,' she cursed in her head.

'We can jump those walls no problem,' her youkai said confidently

'Maybe, but above the wall is a barrier. Probably because the wall is easy to jump,' her miko explained

'Now what?' she asked herself more then the other two seeing as they weren't being much help.

Kagome was taken out of her thoughts by a small tug on her skirt. "Mommy this is for you," Rin said and handed Kagome a beautiful red flower.

Kagome smiled at the small girl. "Thank you, Rin," she said and tucked the flower in her hair behind her ear. Rin pulled her over to a large patch of flowers and started to pick some more.

"Come on, Mommy," Rin urged her to pick flowers with her. Kagome sighed; well she couldn't do much to anything else at the moment, so why not pick flowers.

They stayed in the garden for at least an hour. Kagome weaved some of the flowers into a crown for Rin and the girl wore it proudly. Suddenly Rin stood up and ran across the garden. Kagome turned around and saw Sesshomaru.

"Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin chanted as she tackled said youkai's legs.

"Mommy and I have been picking flowers, look what she made me!" Rin excitedly showed him the crown of flowers.

"I see," was all Sesshomaru said and patted the young girl on the head. "Go and play with Jaken, I need to speak with Kagome."

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru," she said politely and skipped off inside.

"So you've accepted you're new role in my home?" Sesshomaru asked.

"What new role?" Kagome asked, almost daring him to say it.

"The role of Rin's mother and my mate," he replied, completely unfazed by the threat in Kagome's voice.

"Never," Kagome said simply. "I only let her call me that because it looked like she would cry if I didn't," she explained the situation.

"I see, never the less you will become my mate." Sesshomaru was suddenly close, too close. Kagome took a step back.

"You stay away from me!" she yelled at the inu youkai. Sesshomaru just smirked and it crept Kagome out to no end. "I mean it," she said this time a little lower and she took another step back. Sesshomaru darted forward and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"I always get what I want; you will be mine," he whispered into her ear and then released her.

"You never got the Tetseiga," Kagome mutter under her breath as he walked away.

Sesshomaru whirled around and Kagome suddenly found herself pushed up against a tree.

"Do not ever speak to me like that ever again," Sesshomaru growled out. He looked over her frightened face and smirked again. He rubbed his cheek against hers and inhaled her scent deeply; he then nipped at her ear. "You smell of innocence, soon I'll take that scent from you," and with that Sesshomaru left the garden and Kagome fell to her knees gasping. In her head she called out for Kouga, she needed him to save her. She didn't think she could get out of this one on her own.

- - - -

Kouga put on a sudden burst of speed. Kagome needed him, he could sense it. There had to be a faster way, but all he could do is just run. He ran like his life depended on it, like Kagome's did.

- - - -

Kagome wonder around and wound up back where she had started 'her room.' She could only hope that it wasn't Sesshomaru's room as well. She doubted it though; the room was too small to hold his ego.

Suddenly she heard screaming down the hall. A green blur ran past her and she could see Rin chasing it. "Oh, Rin, leave Jaken alone," Kagome said once she realized what was going on. Rin had been trying to put makeup, ribbons, and bows on Jaken and he didn't seem to be appreciating it much.

"Yes, Mommy," Rin said in her ever happy voice.

"Mommy?!" Jaken croaked and then took a good look at Kagome. "Lord Sesshomaru has finally found a decent youkai mate," Jaken said proudly, though more so of Sesshomaru then of his new found mate.

'Riiiight,' Kagome thought to herself, not wanting to upset little Rin.

"Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight?" Rin asked using that puppy dog face again. Truth be told Rin didn't even need to use that face; Kagome didn't want to be alone tonight, or any night she stayed her. She was afraid Sesshomaru might try to pull something.

"Now Rin I'm sure Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't--" Jaken had started but Kagome cut him off.

"Of course you can sweaty, just go get your things for bed." Rin did just that and ran off. Kagome glared at Jaken just daring him to contradict her. Jaken not wanting to make his new Lady mad said nothing and went after the girl to make sure she got everything she needed.

"Oh, my Lady, may I ask your name?" Jaken asked over his shoulder.

Kagome smirked before saying, "Kagome." Then she simply entered her room not really caring about Jaken's reaction to her name.

About ten minutes later Rin burst into the room with a small bag in her hand. "Ok, let's take a bath and then we'll get some sleep, ok Rin?" The little girl nodded her head and handed Kagome her bag. In the bag were different soaps for the bath along width a night gown and a hair brush.

While in the bath Rin started a splash fight and they got water everywhere. When they got out Kagome dried Rin off and brushed out her hair. They both changed into their night clothes and snuggled under the covers together.

"Goodnight, Mommy," Rin said sleepily and shut her eyes. Rin was out like a light, but Kagome was up and she was thinking.

'I wish I really could be your mommy Rin, but the dad isn't such a catch,' she thought as she moved a piece of hair out of the girl's face. 'What am I going to do now?'

'We can't leave our daughter behind,' said the youkai voice.

'Well, we're not staying here and mating Sesshomaru,' the miko voice stated firmly.

'I could take her with me,' Kagome proposed.

'But she's so attached to Sesshomaru,' the miko pointed out.

'She doesn't even call him father or anything like that, I bet he won't let her,' Kagome said.

'I bet Kouga would let her call him father,' the youkai said.

'Do you think so?' Kagome asked.

'Of course,' the youkai said proudly.

'One problem,' the miko said. 'Rin's afraid of wolves.'(AN: I don't know if Kagome ever knew Rin was afraid of wolves but in my story she does.)

'That's right, maybe she's grown out of it, that was a long time ago.' Kagome added. 'I'll just talk to her in the morning.' With that Kagome closed her eyes and fell asleep.

- - - -

That morning Kagome went back out to the garden with Rin. Kagome decided to bring up the issue of wolves and of Rin leaving with her. "Hey Rin, come over here." Rin looked up from her flower picking and ran over to Kagome. "Rin, how do you feel about wolves?" she asked.

Rin just looked at her for a minute and Kagome worried that Rin might still have her wolf phobia. "Wolves are so cool. They're like big dogs," Rin said.

"Oh, so you're not afraid of them anymore?" Kagome just wanted to make sure.

"Nope, Rin isn't scared," she said happily

"Good. Now Rin, I was wondering if you would like to leave with me." There was a long silence.

"Leave where? With Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin questioned.

"Well, I have to visit some friends and then there's someone I promised to return to and Sesshomaru isn't coming. I'm never coming back and that's why I want you to come with me."

Rin looked close to tears. "But, but, Rin wanted a mommy and a daddy."

"You will, your daddy just won't be Sesshomaru. I promise you'll like him, he's really great," Kagome tried to soothe the child.

"Do you like him?" Rin asked trying to hold back her tears.

Kagome was quiet for a minute and then she said, "Yes, I love him." She smiled at the girl and Rin gave her a teary smile back.

"Alright, Mommy," Rin said and took her hand. " Rin needs to get her stuff."

"Ok, let's go." With that they hurried to Rin's room and packed some of her stuff up and then Rin led Kagome to the exit. It all seem to easy, how they were able to just walk out the door that way.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked a cold, emotionless voice. Kagome turned around and found Sesshomaru standing right behind her. "Rin I'm very disappointed in you," he said looking pointedly at the child.

"You can't talk to her like that!" Kagome told Sesshomaru off. "I'm leaving and Rin is coming with me and I won't let you stop us!"

"We'll see about that."
