Hello my darling friends and fans. I owe you my deepest apologies for not updating as soon as I had planned, but not only had my muse called it quits on me for just about everything, my personal life took a very horrible turn for the worse. However, I am beginning to refit the puzzles in my life back together, and in doing such, I have been able to bring you another wonderful chapter of my story. I sincerely hope you enjoy :).

A Simple Request

Chapter 12- A Dating Life Begins

"Hello?" Shippo questioned holding Kagome's phone to his ear.

"Um hello…" There was a slight pause as if the person was unsure or caught off-guard, "Would this be Shippo I'm speaking to?" The sharp, Hispanic baritone accent questioned politely.

"Possibility, who's askin?" Shippo remarked defensively as Kagome parked in the hospital parking lot.

"I am Roshamaru Usagi." The voice replied patiently.

"What are you calling for?" Shippo responded.

"I am calling to set up a dinner date with you and your mother." Shippo frowned openly and handed Kagome the phone as she turned to reach for it.

"Hello?" Kagome questioned as she turned off the ignition, put the keys in her purse, and then unfastened her seatbelt. Shippo grumbled to himself as he unfastened Kohaku then his own seatbelt and climbed out the car. "Um yes, do you have my address from my employee file?" Kagome questioned adjusting the Gucci purse on her arm after closing her door. "What do you mean how did I know you had looked at my file to know where I lived? Why else would you offer to pick me up?!" Kagome replied helping Kohaku out the car with a brilliant smile and closing his door as well. She laughed at something the man on the other line said and Shippo folded his arms across his chest with a huff. "Alright, we'll see you in two hours or so." Kagome replied hanging up her phone and putting it in her purse.

"Who was that Kagsie?"

"My boss's brother."

"Oh… Does he want to date you or somethin?" Kagome narrowed her eyes at her interrogator and shook her head, realizing what he was asking.

"No Shippo but I'm an adult, and if I wanted to date him, it wouldn't interfere with our normal lives."

"It would so interfere. You would start staying out late and come home all dreary-eyed and forget all about me." Shippo mumbled as they approached the front desk.

"Hi," Kagome greeted with a slight smile, "What room is Sango Taijia in?" The secretary blew a blue bubble and popped it loudly.

"She's in the room suite used for celebrities and what not. It's confidential to family members only and you need an access card and-,"

"You're not very good at keeping things confidential lady." Shippo remarked interrupting her as she smacked loudly on her bubblegum. The receptionist popped her gum in an annoyed manner.

"Well, I have a card here if you're family." She replied sliding a card across the desk. Kagome took the card and gave her thanks. She reached the elevator, swiped the card, and bent down to Shippo's level.

"No male will ever come between you and me." Kagome told him gingerly, releasing Kohaku's hand to give the kitsune a warm embrace. Shippo returned the hug tightly as a smile formed on his lips.

"I just don't want you to get hurt." He told her honestly as he pulled back and gazed into the depths of an ocean. They sparkled as the chimes of laughter echoed the elevator.

"Don't worry Shippo. You're the only man that could ever hurt me." The kitsune puffed his chest out proudly at being called a man. The elevator doors opened and the three stepped off. A sudden nervous feeling pooled in the pit of Kagome's stomach as they began to walk down the hall to the room number indicated on the card.

"Don't be nervous Kagome, everything will be alright." Shippo encouraged as they approached a closed door with Sango's last and first name. Kagome nodded and took a deep breath before rapping gently on the door.

"Come in," a male voice answered. "Be quiet though she's asleep." Shippo opened the door and walked in. Kagome's breath caught in her throat as she caught sight of her best friend. There were several machines by her bed and a few tubes hooked into her body. She also sported several bandages. Kagome unconsciously pushed Kohaku from behind her and into the room, causing him to cry out weakly.

"Sis!" He yelled running forward to the hospital bed. Tired brown eyes shot open and filled with complete joy.

"Kohaku…" she whispered hoarsely opening her arms to allow the younger sibling to hug her. She suddenly glanced up after a few moments, meeting Kagome's azure gaze before another brilliant smile planted on her chapped lips. "Kagome, you've outdone yourself!" Kagome merely nodded and peeked at Miroku who was staring at the love of his life in shock. She felt Sango's eyes burning into her and their gazes met again. Kagome turned her view to the window as tears pooled into her eyes. "Kagome you're such a good friend-."

"I am not!" Kagome interrupted, her fists clenched at her sides as hot tears poured down her face, "Look what being friends with me did to you!"

"Kagome, I've been with gangs and cliques longer than you, it was entirely my fault-,"

"It is not your fault Sango!" Kagome exclaimed vehemently. She opened her mouth to say more but Miroku interrupted her.

"It is no one but that bastard Naraku's fault." There was extreme silence after Miroku spoke and everyone's eyes met the floor. "Kagome, I am humbly sorry for spazzing out on you… It's just-,"

"It's quite alright dearest cousin." Kagome replied solemnly as she wiped her face. She sniffed and allowed herself to stay a few more minutes before she gently grabbed Shippo's hand and sighed heavily. "Call me if you guys need me. Get well soon Go-Go." Kagome squeezed Shippo's hand unsurely and hastily left, gently closing the door behind them. She pressed the elevator button three times and stepped back.

"It's not your fault Kagsie." Shippo said quietly causing hardened mystic sapphire eyes to focus on him. Those unique cyan eyes softened instantly and Kagome bent down to his height as he enveloped her into a loving hug. Kagome's body shook as her son-like brother comforted her like she would him. She wept on his shoulder like a baby and he whispered comforting words to her as any brother or son would. If she was his rock he'd be damned if he wasn't something she would rely on.

The elevator dinged and Kagome laughed then wiped her face with a snort of her stuffy, running nose. "What would I do without you?" Shippo smiled genuinely and pecked her cheek.

"You would forget your head was attached to your neck." They both giggled and the elevator doors opened revealing several nurses rushing with a defibrillator.

"Get Doctor Dominare on the floor A.S.A.P. The patient has gone into shock." They whizzed by the crouching family as if they weren't there. Kagome pecked Shippo's forehead and stood, leading him into the elevator.

"Where are we going now Kagome?" Shippo questioned pushing the button for the ground floor.

"Home to shower and change into something nice…" It was quiet before Kagome continued, "Did you have any homework?"

"Since you were like eight hours late I had finished it and handed it in to my teacher already."

"Oh come on Shippo, I was not that late!" Kagome protested as they left the elevator and entered the lobby.

"You were so!" Shippo argued.

"Was not, you're over exaggerating! The pair exited the hospital arguing like elementary school children.

Shippo huffed impatiently as he adjusted his collared shirt. He was watching television while Kagome found something to wear. Across from him, in a leather reclining chair, sat his current competition. He was taking them to a Tides game, which was a local baseball to Virginia and a step away from being major league. Shippo adjusted his Rocawear jeans and returned his gaze to the taiyoukai. It was December, meaning it would be deep freezer weather outside. "Soooo, Roshamaru, what has your interest in my Kagome?" Roshamaru released a jubilant, baritone chuckle.

"Your sister is quite entertaining and a very good strategist."

"Okay, that's business wise. You're taking me and her to a baseball game that will end at two a.m. Try again." Roshamaru released a deep, boisterous laugh.

"Chico, I do not wish to take Kagome away from you. I am merely enjoying my last week here with her comforting presence." He paused, "I have no romantic interest towards her at all."

Shippo drummed his fingers on the arm of the sofa, slightly pacified with the demon's answer. "So what kind of demon are you?" Shippo questioned turning off the television.

"What do you sense?" Roshamaru questioned in return.

"Black inu and another I can't quite put my finger on."

"Black wolf." There was an understanding brief silence. "So what is your sister?"

"What do you think Kagome is?" Shippo countered.

"Well she has the appearance of a human or celestial being, but she has the scent of-."

"Okay guys, how do I look?" Kagome questioned walking into the living room. She was wearing a blue turtleneck sweater that was designed to show a bit of cleavage with an oval shape near her breasts, black skinny jeans, and blue pumps. Her hair was crisp, as if it had just been blow dried.

"You look-,"

"Fine Kagsie, now let's go before we miss the American Anthem!" Shippo interrupted Roshamaru, grabbing Kagome's hand and pulling her out the door. Roshamaru frowned and followed behind the pair, locking and closing the door behind him.

"Don't tell me you're driving this 1967 Cobra!" Kagome exclaimed in front of the hot red car she was speaking of.

"Then I won't tell you, but you'd have to stay here."

"No flippin way!" Kagome exclaimed excitedly, her cheeks flushed from the cold. Roshamaru chuckled and sat in the driver's seat and cranked up the car. The hood of the car mechanically closed and Kagome squealed with excitement as he opened the passenger door for her.

"Yes, well there are many other surprises in store tonight as well." Kagome blushed and climbed in, pulling her darling Shippo in her lap as well. Little did either know that Roshamaru was correct. –

Kagome eagerly munched on crackerjacks as the baseball game began. Shippo sat beside her with a miniature tides baseball bat in his lap as he drifted to sleep. Roshamaru was sitting to her left, laughing at the overly-energized woman-child. "So how old are you Miss Higurashi?" Roshamaru questioned politely.

"I'm seventeen in human years. My birthday isn't until June." Kagome responded never taking her eyes off the field. Roshamaru's eyes widened impossibly and his eyebrows lifted with interest.

"What demon age are you?"

"I can't recall, but my earliest memory is in 1766, I think my older brother's dad said I was about a thousand years old then, and before you ask, I don't know my heritage either, I assume I was adopted long before 1766 by Shippo's birth mother."

"The kit is nearly twelve in demon years if he was born in 1996." Kagome's stunning cyan eyes finally met intrigued misty grey and she nodded.

"Yeah? But he's nearly five in human years!"

"Kitsunes age three times as fast as inu's and they live to about seven hundred or a thousand years in human age." Kagome nodded happily, comforted by his words, and then gave him a brilliant smile.

"Well enough about me, tell me about you and your past!"

"As you know, my name is Roshamaru Usagi, and I have six brothers-,"

"And you guys are septuplets!" Kagome interrupted with a giggle. He nodded with a smile.

"We are black inu and black wolf. We were born about year 437 or so from the eastern lord, Tamaruyoshi and Nijarobi Hinshiro, a legendary princess of a small pack of black wolves. She passed not too long after our birth and about 229 years later, yes year 666, my father and an exiled goddess named Kiroshi Gen had our sister. From what we've researched, she banished both their powers the day she was born and they wouldn't be usable until something important transpired. She still had some demon abilities though."

"Oh wow that's horrible." Kagome replied. "What happened next?"

"Kiroshi died two years later and my father willed himself to his death, but he gave away the pup to a clan of mikos whom had sworn themselves to the eastern kingdom. All of us were too young to rule so Sesshomaru's father took over until each of us could help to some degree. If you know the western lord, Sesshomaru Tashio that is."

"Know him?" Kagome replied with a hug, "I can't stand him, but I didn't know he was a lord."

"He can be a nuisance at times…" Roshamaru replied.

"So there's supposed to be eight of you?" Kagome questioned and Roshamaru nodded. "I can help you find her!" She insisted after a moment, "Then she can help your business in Canada!" Roshamaru smiled and shook his head.

"Such an offer is touching, but completely unnecessary. Sesshomaru told us that he believed he had a lead on her. She currently sold a house in the area." Kagome's eyes widened and she gave him a charming smile.

"That's great! I'm happy for you. Do you guys know her name?"

"If we knew such information, the search would be over." Kagome's entire face flushed brightly. Feeling stupid, she glanced at Shippo who was sound asleep. She pulled him into her lap and sighed. Smiling to herself at his death grip on the baseball bat. "Tell me about you."

"Well, I can't remember ever leaving Virginia, but ever since I can remember, Souta, my older brother, has always been against my mother. At first it was just a teenage thing, but when my mother passed he was twenty-four in human years, and he's well over thirty now."

"How is Souta older than you?"

"His mother is a miko, but he was the first human to receive a youkai brain and live. I assume that might be why he lived so long." Roshamaru nodded in understanding.

"What do you say I take you out to eat?" He suggested and a pretty blush crowned the bridge of Kagome's nose.

"Sure, why not?" Roshamaru gave her a slight grin and the three left the overly crowded stadium. As they walked to his car, Kagome paused, feeling as if someone was intently watching her. She turned her entire body to face the stadium, for Shippo's head rested in the crook of her neck. She must had been staring back at the stadium for quite some time because Roshamaru drove up beside her and nearly caused he heart to leap out her skin by honking the horn. Kagome climbed into the car without a word.

"What had you so mesmerized Miss Higurashi?" Roshamaru questioned speeding away.

"I think there were multiple people watching me." Kagome answered distantly.

"Nonsense, my aura didn't sense anything dangerous. Perhaps you were just imagining things." Kagome brushed Shippo's hair aside lovingly.

"Perhaps." Roshamaru slammed on breaks and swerved the car hard to the right. It was then he noticed they were the only ones on the bridge. Kagome buried her nose into Shippo's hair. "It has begun." She murmured gently causing Roshamaru to whip his head towards her.

"What are you talking about woman? The drawbridge is merely up." Kagome gazed at him with unfocused eyes and Roshamaru suddenly felt a presence that he hadn't in so very long. He leapt out the car, ran to the passenger side, and pulled the hybrid and her kit out and leapt away. Not three seconds later did a ball of blazing red-orange energy hurdle into the car, effectively causing an explosion. The explosion seemed to wake Kagome out of her reverie.

"What the hell is happening?" She questioned whirling around. Her eyes meeting the raised draw bridge.

"Someone followed us." Roshamaru replied expanding his aura.

"Great, the car is gone. My favorite gun was in my purse."

"Gun?" Roshamaru responded intensely shocked, "Why do you carry a gun?"

"Long story short, I used to gangbang," Kagome answered smiling sheepishly, "More specifically with my elder brother. We haven't been like family for a while and I thought it would bring us closer when it actually made me realize how much more of an asshole he is."

A large, red meteor looking object in the sky finished her explanation as it slammed into the bridge. Kagome glanced down at the sleeping kit, wondering how he was sleeping through it all. The bridge shook with a tremendous aftershock as the dust cleared and settled, revealing a male and female standing a few meters away from them. They sported fiery red skin and acid green hair. Their bodies looked sickly as if they were underfed or decomposing.

"We have been instructed to kill anyone who comes after out master's intended mate." They warned mechanically, their voices in unison. Roshamaru and Kagome met eyes then refocused their attention on the odd pair.

"Well who are your master and his intended mate?" Kagome replied.

"We only answer to Master Naraku." They said robotically before turning their eyes directly to Roshamaru. "He is trying for your courtship, and is a threat, so by Master Naraku's orders, he must die." They took quick, robotic steps towards Roshamaru and he gave them a menacing growl, slightly threatened by their auras. A strong force pushed Kagome clear across the bridge near the guardrail before she could interfere.

"Roshie!" Kagome shouted, unable to move her arms or legs. She felt something deep inside her breaking as the pair of odd creatures began to unfairly fight her boss's brother. The male had formed a spiked club with one of its hands, and the female a sword. They fought him with vast speed and agility, keeping him on the defensive.

Kagome began to growl deeply as they broke through his defense and his face met the gravel painfully. She sat Shippo down as he aura blazed wildly around her, causing her hair to flicker wildly. Her eyes turned completely cyan and with a push of her hands, the odd pair that was about to deliver the killing blow, disintegrated into ashes. Her eyes began to slowly return to normal as Roshamaru began to regain consciousness. Kagome walked back over to Shippo and picked him up, slumping against the cold concrete guard rail, unconscious as well.

When Roshamaru came too fully, all he could sense was untamed power. The scent was so familiar to him that he could only guess it was his lost sister. He gazed down at the ashes of what he scented was his attackers and suddenly remembered Kagome and Shippo. He immediately sensed the two heavily unconscious and sighed in relief. Roshamaru stood on shaky legs and tried to scent what direction the power had came from and where it left, but it seemed to have dispersed as quickly as it had appeared. Growling softly to himself, Roshamaru sat beside the unconscious pair as he tried to recover his pride. The short walk had also tired him slightly.

He watched as a light blue Lincoln drove up beside them. Storm grey met with piercing amber and some sense of relief washed over the tired black inu/wolf youkai. "Roshamaru is it?" The slightly more baritone voice than his own questioned glancing at his beaten form.

"Yes it is, Lord Sesshomaru."

"You will explain what occurred." Sesshomaru ordered bending down to pick up the hybrid female, who held a death grip to the kit pulled to her stomach. Roshamaru returned to his feet quickly, the feeling of a beaten pride returning as he sat his tired and beaten body into the passenger seat of Sesshomaru's car. Sesshomaru returned to the driver seat and made a u-turn. "Begin."

"Kagome, Shippo, and I had just left the Tides' game, and in the parking lot she became really distant and said she believed someone was following her. When we got to the bridge back there, she whispered something I couldn't quite understand. Then I sensed grave danger, so I leapt out the car and rushed the other side to get her and Shippo, who was in her lap, out the car."

"What was the reason she was unable to get out herself?" Sesshomaru questioned, momentarily interrupting the other youkai's brief silence.

"She was in a sort of daze. My car exploding seemed to wake her up though. Then these two odd-type of creatures appeared and began to double-team me. I held my own for a while and they just kept getting faster and faster until I could no longer hold my ground and was knocked unconscious. When I came to she was gone as fast as she had arrived..." The Spanish-accented youkai seemed to be delving deep in thought, putting the scent of power to his memory.

"Who is this female you are referring to? Where was the hybrid and Shippo the whole time the battle occurred?" Sesshomaru questioned, attempting to fill in the gaps the beaten, half inu-youkai seemed to be forgetting.

"I believe the female was my lost sister, from the feel of the power, it felt too similar, so it has to be. The creatures were completely turned t ash and the power smelt wild and untamed. Before the fight began, they trapped Kagome and Shippo in some sort of bubble." Sesshomaru nodded his head.

"I smelled and felt the power from Lynchburg. I was there on business."

"That's over four hours away by car!" Roshamaru exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Precisely, why are you in the US?"

"Yearly meeting with my brothers,"

"How did you come to know the hybrid?"

"Kagome? She works for Maru. He said she typed over a million or more files and organized them in two days."

"Are you trying to court her?" Sesshomaru questioned gripping the steering wheel a little tighter unknown to Roshamaru and himself.

"Well, no, but-,"

"That is good because the hybrid is under my protection." Sesshomaru replied bluntly stopping the car.

"I had not known. Thanks for dropping me off. I didn't realize you even knew where I was staying."

"I am aware of many things that go on in this city. Have a good night." Sesshomaru retorted shortly, Roshamaru clambered quickly out the car, closing the door behind him and Sesshomaru sped off as soon as the door shut. He heard Kagome groan a few minutes down the road and eased the car off to the side of the road. "Higurashi, how is it you get into these perilous situations?" He questioned her when she opened her beautiful cyan eyes.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome questioned dumbly, her mind still fogged.

"Clearly I am not Roshamaru." Kagome bolted upright as everything came back to her.

"Is he okay? Those pawns of Naraku were kicking his ass pretty badly."

"The creatures he spoke of were from Naraku?"

"Well, I can only guess so. They said they only answered to their Master's wishes and their master wanted to kill Roshamaru. I assume because he thinks we're dating."

"Why would the hanyou bastard care whom you date?"

"He wants me to be his mate and have his first born." Kagome muttered stiffly, "I remember that whatever those creatures had me in made me pretty much immobilized, but when I saw Roshamaru get knocked unconscious, something inside me snapped, and then I guess is when I blacked out." Sesshomaru nodded slightly.

"Do you recall seeing a demoness?" Kagome shook her head. He motioned her to the passenger seat and restarted the ignition as Kagome placed the still sleeping kit on his leather seats.

"Are you taking me to my apartment?" Kagome asked as she sat in the passenger seat and he pulled back onto the road.

"No." Sesshomaru answered simply. Kagome flushed brightly with anger.

"Why the hell not?!"

"If Naraku is indeed after you, I cannot risk your pitiful existence."

"I've been taking care of myself you know!" Kagome insisted with a shout.

"And the circumstance you are knocked unconscious and kidnapped, who will take care of your kit? Souta?" Sesshomaru questioned bitterly. Kagome's eyes widened impossibly and she sputtered in protest before growling deeply.

"The bastard can't touch me otherwise! It has to be my consent or whatever the impudent scheme he's conjuring won't work!" Sesshomaru slammed on breaks, causing Kagome to gasp in surprise.

"Impossible." Sesshomaru told her at a decibel she barely heard, causing Kagome to raise an eyebrow.

"You are officially in my list of crazy people I should avoid." Kagome remarked bluntly. Sesshomaru narrowed dark amber eyes at her and continued driving. His curiosity was beyond peeked, he had to find out what she was, but he simply couldn't randomly come up to her and ask to taste her blood.

"From now on, you will be under my protection. You will babysit Rin, and I will have two of my guest rooms prepared for you and your kit." Kagome opened her mouth to protest and he gave her a threatening, warning growl. "You will cancel the lease on your apartment and I will have my servants pick up your motorcycle and PT Cruiser."

"Wait, what?" Kagome shrieked angrily, "Who the hell are you to-," Sesshomaru slammed on breaks again, effectively ending her protest and met her eyes directly as he spoke coldly.

"You have do not obtain a secure reason to object. You have no systems of self-defense or how to use whatever instincts you possess." Kagome's lower lip trembled slightly and Sesshomaru knew he struck home.

"What about my job?" She questioned almost quietly as he began to drive once more.

"What do you work as and what is your pay?"

"I'm Maru Usagi's secretary at Usagi Inc. and he pays me two thousand a week."

"I can triple your pay if money is the problem…"

"I don't care about money, that job gives me something challenging to do." A part of Sesshomaru purred in content at her statement, and he quickly put it back in place.

"I am in need of dire secretary help in restarting my company before the New Year's Eve, and I am sure working for head secretary for Usagi has incorporated you to learn how to transfer handwritten, multilingual, and computer lingual files into a database." Kagome's eyes widened again and she nodded.

"Wait, are you asking me for help?"

"I cannot file a quarter billion files by myself. I need them done before the end of the month." Sesshomaru repeated indirectly.

"I'll help you of course, but-,"

"You may work from my home, I will transfer Shippo back to Shikon's School for the Gifted and will pick him up with Rin if you are working."

"I'm not living in your place for free." Kagome replied bluntly.

"I will not accept your money. However, you will be responsible for making a monthly grocery list for my servant to pick up, and you will be included in shares for my company." Kagome huffed and folded her arms. "You will lay low for a while and cancel any other plans for the remainder of the week."

"What? Why? I like having a life unlike you, you know!"

"I will not be able to come to your rescue every time Naraku decides to ruin your day." Kagome sighed loudly and her mouth dropped in awe as Sesshomaru parked.

"What about my clothes?" Kagome asked getting out of the car without taking her eyes off the ginormous 'house'. Sesshomaru picked the kitsune out of the back of his car and closed the door, automatically locking it with the press of a button.

"We shall settle that in the morning. I hope you do not intend to stare at my house the entire night. There is a cold front moving in." Sesshomaru warned from his door. Kagome blushed with embarrassment and jogged up to the looming daiyoukai.

"Daddy!" Rin's voice exclaimed. "The police are looking for Kagsie because her place exploded along with her cars!" Kagome felt the color drain from her face. "They said that her brother was there and is being held in cuss-toe-dee… until you arrive." A pitter-patter of footsteps became louder before the owner of those bare feet reached the entry way.

"Where is your nanny Rin?" Sesshomaru questioned. A small, petite butterfly demoness graciously entered the room. She held such a light, confident air about her as her lilac, spring green and salmon circles wings flapped gently, creating a comforting breeze and a scent of spring to freshen the air. She held a look of beauty and elegance and she stood confidently at the height of four foot five. Lovely bright red hair met her shoulders in a natural curl and she met the daiyoukai's eyes with ladybug orange orbs, which sparkled red as she smiled in greeting that could enchant anyone.

"Greetings Lord Sesshomaru and his friend." She spoke softly with a voice that many would envy. Kagome slid into view and the demoness' eyes widened into a shocked sunshine color.

"Chorei, I wish you to care for the kit as you do Rin. Kagome and I shall return after we handle business and it is past bedtime for Rin on a school night. Prepare rooms for the kit and his mother before I return." Chorei bowed formally and took the kit from his arms.

"His name is Shippo, Lady Chorei!" Sesshomaru nodded to her and ushered Kagome back out the door.

When the two arrived at the scene, the entire apartment complex was ablaze. "I can feel the heat from here." Kagome remarked to no one in particular as Sesshomaru parked a few blocks away. Sesshomaru pocketed his keys as they began to walk into the complex.

"Your brother has escaped again." Kagome took note of the lack of police and police tape.

"Maybe they left. It's passed three in the morning."

"I can smell death and blood. Someone helped him avoid capture."

Kagome ran at full speed to her apartment block and me the sight of numerous slaughtered police officers. She saw the wild, black hair of her neighbor, Kagura, and nearly lost her stomach contents as waves of despair flooded over her. Sesshomaru grabbed her arm and attempted to pull her back to the Lincoln.

"No," Kagome protested, "We have to find Kanna!" She screamed as tears poured from her eyes. "Kanna could be here all alone!"

"Naraku has taken his daughter, hybrid. Let's go." Kagome froze instantly, her eyes wide.

"D-daughter?" Sesshomaru nodded and returned her to the passenger seat moments later.

"Sleep woman, you've been through enough today." Kagome felt drowsy as soon as the words left his mouth. For some reason the arrogant prick made her feel safe.

I hope you guys enjoyed! I felt that my charas were OOC horribly, but I have to get back into the hang of things. For those of you that read my first story, you might remember Chorei! She's back again folks! My character completely though!
