Sesshomaru stood in the dark corner, his father had told him to protect his new sibling, what Kagome didn't know was that her father was alive, just in hiding all those years, Sesshomaru had lied to the papers, he had an idea who had done it, he even had a witness which was Kagome's father, but no one would be able to hold the guy let alone even be able to have a judge that would sentence the man, he went by the name of Naraku. Sesshomaru watched Inyasha play games with Kagome, she glanced at Sesshomaru,
"You are finding Sesshomaru quite interesting, aren't you?" Inuyasha smirked,
"No, Izayoi told me to watch over him, I have to do something for him, he looks so…heartbroken," Kagome softly.
"Rin traveled everywhere with him, she was the only one that actually made a different in his life, he killed Jaken because he was supposed to watch the kid, somehow Rin mated with a demon and had become a demon herself. Inuyasha and Kagome were now play pool, Sesshomaru was great at pool and he now could see that his little half brother was being beaten at the game. Kagome sunk the eight ball in the pocket she had called,
"Ya suck, ya fucking cheated," Inuyasha screamed, Sesshomaru walked over,
"Care to challenge this Sesshomaru," Sesshomaru stoically. Kagome nodded, Sesshomaru paid for the game, Kagome broke and got a solid ball in a pocket. Sesshomaru watched her form of shooting finally they were down to the eight ball, Kagome's turn, she wasn't left handed so she had to shoot behind her back. The way the ball was sitting and where the q-ball was she wouldn't be able to hit it in the pocket that she had called but she had made a nice try for it anyways, leaving Sesshomaru no shot.
"There's no way ya going to get that in that pocket," Inuyasha laughed, Sesshomaru shot, the ball went in the pocket that he had called. Kagome smirked, she walked around to Sesshomaru and shook his hand,
"Nice game, maybe sometime you could show me that move," Kagome explained, Sesshomaru stood stoically and nodded,
Nice grip for a human.~ Sesshomaru thought to himself.
"Ya guys mom and dad are going to meet us at the movies, they want us to go shopping with Kagome, then meet up with them," Inuyasha getting off his cell phone. Kagome nodded, they all worked out and went on their way to find some clothes for Kagome. Sesshomaru stood outside of every store that Kagome and Inuyasha entered,
"So Sesshomaru takes his job seriously huh?" Kagome looking quickly through the clothes.
"It must be because he knows who killed your parents but there may not be a way to put the one that may still be after you in jail," Inuyasha explained.
"There are many that way, I will fight, he will not bring me down so easy as my parents downfall," Kagome taking the clothes and underwear to the counter, Inuyasha gave the lady behind the counter the credit card,
"What makes you think you can fight against this…guy?" Inuyasha whispered, Kagome grabbed her bags, as they started walking out.
"I studied the fighting on the web, I know what a good sword looks like, if I was able to test what I know and practice, I'm sure that I would be able to go against this bastard and get revenge on him for killing the people I never got a chance with, because I'm sure they loved me in their own little way," Kagome finding a weapon store in the mall. Inuyasha walked in with Kagome, she found the sword she wanted but it was expensive, she held the sword and tested the balance of the sword, it was a light weight metal,
"Nice sword, check it out Inuyasha," Kagome handing it to him,
"It's a fake, nothing could be killed with this sword," Inuyasha explained. The store owner made the swords himself and overheard Inuyasha,
"Son, I guarantee my swords are not fake, it's the newest metal, it stays sharp and will cut through any other sword on the market, if you are not satisfied with the sword, you may come and exchange it out and receive your money back," the man explained. Kagome gently put the sword back into its cradle,
"Maybe when I have the money for it, it's a very well balanced sword, you're a great blacksmith," Kagome giving the man a compliment.
"Thank you for the compliment, come back and see us soon," the man liking Kagome, he thought she was nice young lady. Kagome and Inuyasha walked out, Sesshomaru made a mental note,
This Sesshomaru doesn't normally give gifts but this sword is a fine piece and the miko's birthday is soon, I shall get her the piece and teach her how to use it the proper way, seen as she never had the chance to be taught by her father.~ Sesshomaru thought silently to himself as he followed behind Inuyasha and the miko. When Kagome had all the clothes she needed they met up with her new parents.
"Are your brothers taking care of you?" Mr. Taisho smiling,
"Yes sir, I beat Inuyasha at a game of pool, I almost beat Sesshomaru, but he has skills I could only dream of possessing," Kagome seriously.
"That's because he learned from his old man, you guys choose what movie you want to watch, me and you mother are going to go curl up and watch this crazy love story," Mr. Taisho hugging up on Izayoi. Kagome and both of her new brothers made an ugly face together,
"You are fitting right in sweetheart, go, enjoy yourself," Izayoi giggling.
"How about the new X-Men movie?" Kagome suggested, a couple of teenagers her age came up behind Inuyasha,
"Hey, how did you get the stone wall to come out of his cave," Sango asked.
"Oh hey guys, this is our now sister, Kagome, she's having a birthday in a couple of days, ya should come to it," Inuyasha explained,
"Of course, we can't pass up a good birthday, Kagome, I warn you now, Miroku's hands like to wander," Sango leaning in to whisper to Kagome, Miroku took his opportunity to grab Sango's ass, Sesshomaru thought Miroku was despicable for doing such things to women. Miroku enjoyed his feeling of pleasure that he got every time he felt Sango's nice ass cheek in the palm of his hand but every time he did it the pleasure was short lived by the slap to the face from Sango.
"Sango, Miroku, when are ya guys going to settle, ya been at this for over a decade now, so, ya going to see the new X-Men movie with us?" Inuyasha asked.
"Hell yeah, it should be good," Miroku explained, Sango was already talking with Kagome and it looked as if they were becoming really good friends.
"Sesshomaru and Inuyasha can relate to the Wolverine, they both have claws," Miroku thought out loud, Sesshomaru huffed and paid the comment no mind, they all bought their tickets and some snacks and went to take their seats. During the movie Kagome glanced over at Sesshomaru and he was just sharping his claws, she offered him some of her candy to be nice, Sesshomaru leaned into her ear,
"Dog demons such as I, do not eat such things," Sesshomaru slowly pulling away from her, Kagome felt a little chill go through her, she closed her eyes and without realizing it, she started to smile. Sesshomaru glanced at her, a new smell floated up his nose but it didn't stay very long, the smell of rain and a little bit of lavender, if he was in the mood for mating or if he had never learned to control his demon inside, he wouldn't waste a minute in taking Kagome as his own.
"I'm sorry, it wont happen again," Kagome leaning into Sesshomaru's ear,
She is apologizing for getting turned on by this Sesshomaru, she is an interesting miko.~ Sesshomaru huffed. When the movie was finally over Sango and Miroku followed Inuyasha home so they could hang out a little more and try to get to know Kagome a little more. Sango was getting Kagome to open up a little more, Kagome and Sango were looking at her new clothes,
"Wow, that's a pretty dress, you don't look like a girl that likes dresses, but this one looks like a dress worth wearing, so what do you want for your birthday," Sango sitting on the bed. Kagome shrugged,
"It would have been nice to at least know that my family loved me, that I wasn't a mistake," Kagome looking out the window. Sango walked over to her, she touched Kagome's shoulder,
"I'm fine Sango but thanks, its just, I'm an outsider, I have been from the time I was born and I'm an outsider in this family, they just want to protect me," Kagome shrugged as if it weren't really a big deal to her.
"Oh Kagome, its alright, you have friends now, me, Miroku, Inuyasha, and even the cold hearted dog demon himself, Sesshomaru, he doesn't protect just any human," Sango trying to liven her up a bit. Kagome huffed,
"Sesshomaru, right, he is probably protecting me because of his daddy told him to," Kagome explained.
"Yeah, but he hates humans you have already gotten a taste of that I assume," Sango asked.
"Yeah, Inuyasha brought up the fact that the bastard that did that to my parents must be hard to put away, but they don't owe me anything," Kagome explained confused.
"Maybe its because you really did make an impression on one of them," Sango explained,
"Maybe, I don't know, so this birthday bash thing, I'm guessing it's a ball type thing," Kagome sighed,
"Yeah, and by the way you sound, you aren't looking very excited about it," Sango laughing a little.
"I don't like being dressed up and I don't like drawing attention to myself," Kagome strongly,
"Well technically, you'll be 16 and that is the mating age so they are probably going to have the potential men and demons at your party, but you don't have to mate, you can date them, find out a little more about them," Sango smirked.
"I guess I will have to go through with it then," Kagome explained,
"Don't worry, I'm sure they will prepare you for it, me and Miroku should get going though, it was really good to hang out with you," Sango hugging Kagome, she hugged Sango back and knew from then on that she and Sango would be best of friends.
"Hey Sango, I think you and Miroku would be a cute couple, you should consider giving him a chance, he seems to like you, just a point of suggestion to one friend," Kagome shrugged. Sango smirked,
"I have given some thought to it, and I do kind of like him, its just, the grabbing and asking other women to bare his children, I don't think he could handle just one woman," Sango explained,
"Why don't you try talking to him, tell him the rules of dating you," Kagome suggested. Sango smiled,
"That might work, you seem to know the dating game," Sango walking to the door,
"I just know from the web," Kagome shrugged.
"Then you must have a lot of useful knowledge of everything," Sango explained, Kagome smirked,
"I know a good sword when I see one," Kagome strongly,
"Then that's all that you really need to know, well that and how to wield one, anyhow, I'll see you tomorrow maybe," Sango walking out.
"Here, I will walk you out," Kagome coming with her,
"Hey, Miroku, lets go," Sango knocking on Inuyasha's door, Inuyasha opened the door, Sango and Kagome both could see Miroku was feasting his eyes on a dirty magazine.
"Miroku!" Sango growled, Miroku's head shot up,
"Huh," Miroku smiling, he saw Sango getting upset.
"I'm not good enough for you anymore?" Sango screamed,
"Oh Sango, no, you don't let me get much pleasure," Miroku whined.
"Come on, its time to go," Sango growled,
"Be easy on him Sango," Kagome patting Sango on the shoulder.
"I told you," Sango whispered,
"Just talk to him," Kagome seriously, she walked them to the door and said goodbye and closed the doors. Sesshomaru stood there behind her,
"No, weaknesses huh?" Sesshomaru asked strongly,
"Just being conversational, it does get lonely sometimes, but I can not afford to be friends or have anyone close, if you really know who done it and if you are really and truly protecting me and not because your father told you to then you know that anyone who gets involve or gets close to me they will die," Kagome strongly and walked away, she glanced in his room as she walked by and noticed her room was in between Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's.
~Protected all the way around.~ Kagome knocked on Inuyasha's door,
"Hey, come on in," Inuyasha laying on the bed,
"I actually thought you might want to show me around maybe," Kagome asked.
"Sure," Inuyasha getting up, he walked Kagome around, showing her the huge dojo, the indoor swimming pool, the game room and the workout room.
"Nice place, where is the library, I know you guys have one," Kagome looking around.
"That's the last stop," Inuyasha smirked, they walked to the library and it was three stories high and full of books. Kagome walked inside and walked to the center and closed her eyes and took a deep breath in,
"What are ya doing?" Inuyasha confused,
"Don't you smell them, the books, old and new, its such a great smell," Kagome finally opening her eyes.
"I know you don't fully appreciate books as much as I do but every time I wanted adventures I went to the books, I have been all over, I have even been to the past in my grandmother's stories about you and Sesshomaru and your family, that's why I don't fear any of you, even Sesshomaru, your father, Sesshomaru and even you are beautiful creatures, you guys care, there are places for you guys, you're a family, I don't belong, I've always been an outsider," Kagome walking around in the library.
"Kagome, ya are apart of this family now, ya are our sister, ya belong to this family, hell ya aren't a normal human either, ya are a priestess the jewel sharp because ya put up that barrier to protect ya self against Sesshomaru, ya can protect ya self, ya just need to be taught how, me and Sesshomaru can do that, we have the space to do it, come on, lets go back to the dojo, I want to see what you do know," Inuyasha explained. Kagome followed Inuyasha into the dojo room.
