Chapter 20

As Kagome was rushed to the hospital the family began to wake up. After they saw the mess that was left behind they began to yell all the while not knowing that Kagome was on her way to the hospital from fighting with Naraku. Kinata, Rin and Sango ran to the main hall and told their parents everything. While the mothers were held by their husbands as they cried Rin, Sango, Miroku and Sesshomaru told them her condition.

"I want to see my baby." Kagome's mother cried.

"We're all going to get into the car. Rin, Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru…we'll meet you there." Mr. Higurashi stated.

"Ok...come on lets go." Rin said.

Inuyasha watched as his Kagome lay in bed with needles and IV's attached to her. 'I should have protected her. I should have jumped in the moment she lost control.' the thought as he began to blame himself for the state Kagome was in. The doctors had stopped the bleeding and were about to keep her form losing a lot of blood. While they had been attending her wounds Inuyasha had stood by and kept his aura around hers. Inuyasha took hold of Kagome's hand and began to move his thumb in a circular motion in hopes that she would wake up soon. As soon as he heard the door knob move he turned to the door and bean to growl. 'NO one is coming near her.' he thought as his aura began to grow.

"It's only us so calm down." Rin's voice was heard.

"You must stay calm brother." Sesshomaru was heard.

"How is she doing?" Sango asked.

"The doctor's said that she might stay in a coma...they don't think she's going to wake up." Inuyasha answered as he turned to face the sleeping girl.

"They're wrong...Kagome will wake up." Miroku replied angrily.

"That's what I said." Inuyasha growled.

"What do you wish us to do brother?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Stay in here and let no one near her...I only want us in here." Inuyasha growled as his eyes began to bleed red.

"What about our parents?" Rin asked.

"I don't trust them...:not pack.:" Inuyasha said as he barked the last part of his brother.

Sesshomaru stood still as he was over come by shock and disbelief. His brother, his once hanyou brother and just thrown himself out of the family and pack he already had only to create one of his own. He was brought out of it when he heard Sango say, "Andy way not?"

"Sango just trust him...you will understand later." Miroku said as he held her and used his aura to calm her down.

"Is this true Sesshomaru?" Rin asked.

"Yes, so please just trust my brother on this...:alpha male.:" Sesshomaru stated as he showed his brother that he knew his place and was not going to challenge it.

"Ok...we'll wait for our parents out side." Sango said as she and Rin walked out.

"Make sure the door is not opened unless it is you two." was all Inuyasha said.

"Yes." was all they said before they were out.

Once they were gone Miroku barked out, ".:beta male?.:"

Rin and Sango stood by the door unsure of what was going on but they trusted the guys with their lives and would not change it for the world. They had not bought in them and where not a shame to say that they trusted their soon to be husbands more then their parents. Both girls were brought out of their thoughts when they saw both their parents, Kagome's parents and Inuyasha's father walking over to them. Rin and Sango both blocked the door and said, "Kagome's asleep."

"Have you gotten a chance to speak with her?" Sango's mother asked.

"No, the doctors say she's in a coma." Rin answered.

"I want to see my daughter." their aunt staid.

"We're sorry but we gave our word that we'd let no one in." Sango stated.

"And whom does not want us in there?" their uncle asked.

"Inuyasha, we gave him our word." both Sango and Rin answered.

All parents turned to look at lord Takahashi and stared at him. Lord Takahashi let out a tried growl and said, "No one will enter."

"Then call Inuyasha so that he can tell me way I can't see my daughter." their aunt hissed.

"Fine...Rin you go." Sango said as she removed the ice.

"I'll be back." Rin said.

The guys had been silent after Inuyasha had named Sesshomaru as the second in command. Sesshomaru had no idea how his father would take it but he was not about to abandon his brother when he had no control over the now pure demon blood that ran thorough his vines. Inuyasha quickly turned around ready to attack any one who was not welcomed. Rin walked in and said, "Inuyasha your father and the other parents want to talk to you."

"Sesshomaru...Miroku if she wakes up keep her up." was all he said before he got up to leave. Inuyasha gently kissed her forehead before walking out.

The moment Inuyasha stepped out was the moment he let out his true power to dare any one to challenge him. Many of the parents took a step back while his father staid where he was. Inuyasha looked at every one before he barked out, ".:not pack.":"

"Inuyasha don't let it take control...fight it." his father said before he added, ".:pack, safe, you beta male.: "

"That's where your wrong father...I have my own pack where no one is ignored or abused...you may see my mate once I have spoken to her first." he growled as he felt his mate's aura looking for him, calling him to her.

Showing that there was nothing either parent could do they all nod. Once he was sure that they wouldn't try to go in he told Sango to go with him and closed the door. Once they were gone all the parents turned to stare at the shell shocked demon lord who had just disrespect in a terrible way. However that did no stop Kagomes father from asking, "Why did you allow him to walk all over you like that?"

"Because I two know what it is like to protect the one I love with all my heart and soul." he answered.

Two weeks after Kagome was hospitalized she woke up and amazed all the doctors. Kagome however yelled and kicked and forced Inuyasha to have her checked out that very same day. When they arrived Kagome was surrounded by family members and friends. Inuyasha was back to normal as for as he went. So far she had just greeted every one but one person. She was walking over to the BBQ grill to speak to her father when she was tackled into the pool. When Kagome suffered the water she heard her sister yell, "Thank god you're alright! I was so worried but I had to keep this place together while you were gone! Don't ever be that reckless again!"

"Take a chill pill I'm fine...Inuyasha can you help my dad and your dad with the BBQ?!" Kagome yelled.

"Yeah, are you ok?" he called back.

"Just fine...hey Kikiyo let's go dry up...I don't want to eat in wet cloth." Kagome said.

"Mind giving me a hand?" Kikiyo asked.

"Not at all." she replied.

After the food was cooked and Kagome and Kikiyo wee dry they all sat down and for the first time they ate as a family. However no one but Lord Takahashi knew what was occurring. Under the table Rin held gently rubbed his tight as she tensed him. Sango and Kagome were doing the same thing. Finally after ten minutes of easing the first one to break was Miroku. Miroku took in a deep breath and said, "I'm going to bed." as calmly as he could. 'Damn her.' he thought.

"Will you walk me to my room then?" Sango asked with an innocent smile.

"Of course...good evening every one." Miroku said.

'One down and two to go.' Rin thought as she continued her actions.

'Your not going to win this on Rin...my soon...very soon to be mate is smart.' Kagome thought as she felt her lover's hand went up her tight.

While Sesshomaru and Inuyasha fought like hell to keep their demon blood from picking up their girl friends and claiming them the girls had fun teasing and testing their limits. Out of the entire family that was seated at the tale only one knew the happenings that would later occur that night. 'They better thank me when they wake up tomorrow.' she thought as she made her way to the opposite said of the castle like house.
