Chapter5: Her Just Rewards
When Kagome and Sesshomaru got home from the hospital Kagome decided to go take a nap before dinner. While Kagome was sleeping Sesshomaru got a call from the office saying it was urgent that he come. Sesshomaru instructed the staff that he would be home within two hours and was to have dinner ready. Then he left for the office.
Not even 20minutes after Sesshomaru left Kagome got up and went downstairs. "Suki where is Sesshomaru at?" She asked. "The master was called to the office, he should be home in a couple of hours. Is there anything you need my lady?" Suki asked. "No, I think I am going to go to my mom's house for a bit. I'll be home before dinner." She smiled. "Alright my lady I'll tell your driver you wish to go to your mothers." She smiled. Kagome nodded and went to grab her purse.
Once fully ready she went outside and got into the limo. Once inside her driver greeted her, "Good afternoon my lady." He said. "Good after noon Izaki, how is your wife and children?" She asked. "Very good my lady, my wife is pregnant again." He smiled while pulling out on to the road. "Oh wow congratulations, what are you having this time and how many does this make?" She asked feeling a little saddened she would never have pups of her own, but she was truly happy for Izaki and his mate. "We are having a little girl my lady and this makes 69." He smiled. "Wow you certainly have been busy these last 500 years haven't you?" She giggled. Izaki laughed, "Yes my lady I guess we have. What can I say my mate is so sexy, even after 500 years she hasn't aged a bit." He said.
"Izaki can I ask you a question, since I just found I was demon and all?" She asked. "Of course my lady." He smiled warmly at her in the review mirror. "Do demons ever age? I mean Sesshomaru has to be like 800 years old and he doesn't look a day over 24." She asked. "Demons age, but we age extremely slow, I have seen demons in their thousands and still look like they are only in their mid-30's. Don't worry my lady you will retain your youthfulness for a very long time. You are a rare breed so we aren't sure how you will age if at all." Izaki said. "What do you mean rare breed?" She asked. "Lynx demons are rare in themselves but you are also a miko with great power. In demon society that has never been seen before. You are beautiful, talented, kind hearted and you are most defiantly made for Lord Sesshomaru." He chuckled. She smiled too, that was when the pulled up to the shrine.
When getting out she smiled, "Thank you Izaki, could you wait here for a moment? I want to make sure they are home." She said. "You're welcome, and yes I shall wait." He said. Kagome then got out of the limo and walked the shrine steps. Once to the house Kagome walked in, "Mom, grandpa, Souta I've come to visit!" She called into the house. There was no answer, so Kagome walked the house and as she walked by the living room something caught her eye. She peered in to see broken glass and the window shattered. She gasped and then the note caught her eye. She picked it up and read the words that filled her with dread and anger. "I have your family Kagome, if you wish to ever see them alive again come alone to the docks at midnight." Kagome was livid, how dare someone kidnap her family.
She then raced out of the house and down the steps. Izaki saw the frantic look on her face and when she got back into the limo he turned to her, "My lady what's wrong?" He asked. "My family has been kidnaped. Take me to Sesshomaru's office." She said hurriedly. "Right away my lady." Izaki said and sped down town to Tashio Corp.
In Sesshomaru's office, he walked into see Sango sitting in his chair. He stopped and growled at her, "What the hell are you doing here wench?" He hissed. "Come now Sesshomaru, is that anyway to greet a client?" She mused. "You are no client of mine and you have the audacity to show your face here after what you did to Kagome." He growled. At that Sango frowned, "Listen here mutt and you listen good, there are going to be two things you are going to do for me." She hissed. "I will do nothing for you bitch." He growled as the red started bleeding into his eyes. "Calm yourself you bastard, if not you will not get Kagome's family back alive and I will not tell you where they are." She said effectively getting his attention. "What do you mean wench?" He hissed. "I have taken Kagome's family and hidden them somewhere you won't find them. Kagome will finally feel what it feels like to lose everything close to her. Now for my demands, first I want you to have Inuyasha released from prison with all charges dropped and second I want you to kiss me." She smiled. "Excuse me? I will do no such thing, that mutt deserves everything that's coming to him. And I would never stoop so low as to cheat on Kagome with the likes of or with anyone for that matter." Sesshomaru ground out as his anger began to slip again.
Sango smiled she had expected as much for the great Sesshomaru. "If you do not heed to my requests I will start killing Kagome's family one by one. My team is in place and with one press of a button they will die." She smiled evilly. Sesshomaru was stuck, he didn't want anything to happen to Kagome's family, she would never forgive him, but he also didn't want to give into any of her demands.
Izaki had pulled up to the building and Kagome jumped out. "My lady do you want someone to go with you?" He asked. "No thanks just wait here." She said. Izaki nodded and Kagome raced into the building. Everyone in the lobby greeted her knowing she was their master's girlfriend. Kagome said a quick hello before jumping into an elevator. Once to the 42nd floor she ran off and saw Misha sitting at her desk. "Misha is Sesshomaru in his office?" She said winded. "Yes my lady, is everything ok?" she asked. "No, there is something I need to tell him desperately." Kagome said. Misha nodded and allowed her to go to the doors.
Inside the office Sango felt Kagome's aura and stepped up to Sesshomaru. Before Sesshomaru knew what happened Sango crashed her lips down on his just as Kagome walked through the doors. "Sesshomaru I…" Kagome said and noticed who was in the room with Sesshomaru. Sango parted and smirked at the look on Kagome's face. Sesshomaru saw the sudden sadness and knew that this was planned by the slayer. "Kagome it's not what it looks like." Sesshomaru said quickly. Kagome snorted, "Ha, where have I heard that before? I would expect this from Inuyasha, but you Sesshomaru. I thought you loved me?" She said as tears streamed down her face.
Sesshomaru rushed over to Kagome and took her into a hug, "I do love you. I love you with every fiber of my being. The wench kissed me Kagome, it was so sudden I had no time to react." He said as she let more tears fall. "As if Sesshomaru you know you were the one to kiss me. Your hands were all over me as well or did you forget?" Sango said effectively getting Kagome's attention.
"You….You have ruined enough of my life. I can see through your lie, I am not sure how but I can see it. Give me back my family or you're going to regret it Sango." Kagome hissed. "I am going to regret it? That is something coming from a weak demoness miko. You are no threat to me my dear. Remember my note, make sure you are at the docks at midnight or your family dies, or they may already be dead before you get there. Depends on if my demands are met." She said looking at Sesshomaru. Kagome growled, "I will not repeat myself slayer, give them back. No one is giving into your demands whatever they are." Kagome hissed. "We shall see little miko. Hahaha!" She yelled before jumping out the window and vanishing.
Kagome turned to Sesshomaru who was glaring at the window Sango had jumped from. "Sesshomaru please tell me she kissed you and you had nothing to do with it?" Kagome pleaded. Sesshomaru turned to her, "She kissed me Kagome, I would never hurt you like my brother has. She mentioned that you would finally feel what it feels like to lose everything closest to you. What does she mean?" Sesshomaru asked. At hearing that Kagome gasped, "She's going to kill my family because she never had one. Her family was slaughtered by Naraku who turned her brother against his entire clan. He attempted to kill Sango but she lived thanks to Naraku with a jewel shard in her back to suppress the pain. What if Naraku placed a piece of himself in her and laid dormant all these years in order to get back at us?" Kagome said. "That makes since, it would explain how she's survived all these years without aging. Even if she had a dark witch place an immortality spell on her she would have had to give something up in return like her beauty or something petty like that, but I see none of that. I just sense a dark aura. I knew it felt familiar." He said. "Sesshomaru what about my family? What are we going to do?" She asked.
"We will call Miroku and tell him of the situation. Hold on koi and I will call him now." Sesshomaru said. Kagome nodded while Sesshomaru went to his desk phone and dialed his security sector. He waited a moment before Miroku picked up. "Tashio Corp Security this is Mr. Houshi how can I help you?" He asked. "Miroku it's Sesshomaru, I need you to gather the team it's urgent." He said. "What's the problem?" He asked getting serious. "Kagome's family has been kidnapped and brought to the docks. Get the team together and surround the area. Make sure you have your sutra bound bullets because I am sure there will be demon body guards. And we also believe Naraku has manifested himself in Sango." He said. Miroku gasped, "You think Naraku is behind Sango going rouge? How so?" He asked. "Kagome mentioned that in the feudal era when you guys met she had a jewel shard sustaining her life, a shard that Naraku himself gave to her. We think that he poured some of his life essence into her at that time in order to grow stronger and one day take revenge on all of us." He explained. "That makes since. Alright this sounds like it's going to be an S class mission for us. I will gather our best security and get right over there. Are we going stealth?" He asked. "Yes, do not get caught. Use any means necessary. Kagome and I will be going in so have us covered." He said. "Right see you there." He said and hung up the phone. "Alright everything is set. Let us make some sort of plan." Sesshomaru said.
"Sesshomaru I have to go alone." She said sadly. "No I won't allow it. I will not have you hurt again, I can stand it when you are hurt." Sesshomaru said. "But if Sango sees anyone besides me then she will kill them, and I won't be responsible for my family's death. I couldn't take that on my shoulders." She said sadly. "Kagome you won't be alone, if it will make you feel better I will go with Miroku and the security team and stay hidden and if things get sticky I will come in and help you." He said making a compromise. Kagome thought about this then nodded, "I can handle that. But make sure you mask your aura and scent if there are other demons." She said. He nodded
Then then left seeing that it was now 11:30 p.m. At the docks Sango smiled, ' Soon Kagome will know my pain.' She thought. "Sango why are you doing this to us? We thought you were our friend." Souta said. "Shut up you stupid brat, I was never your friend. I only did it to get close to you so I could get what I had to do done." She hissed. "Don't call my son a brat, you will let us go now or you'll be answering to me." Ms. Higarashi said. "And me." Her father said. "Oh I am so scared, a weak human woman and an old man. I am practically shaking in my boots." She laughed cynically. Kagome's mom growled which surprised Sango. "You're growl is defiantly worthy of a demon growl." Sango laughed. 'You have no idea bitch.' Ms. Higarashi thought.
Ms. Higarashi then began to speak telepathically to both her father and her son. 'Listen you two, if we are to get out of this alive we are going to have to help Kagome when she gets here. Father you remember how to transform right?' She asked her dad. 'yes dear, and I must say I need to stretch my demon legs.' He said. 'Mom, how are you talking to us like this? And how do I transform?' Souta asked. 'Souta dear this is one of my demon abilities, and the way you transform is to concentrate your demon powers and picture yourself as your true self. That's the best way I can describe it. Souta you are very strong you can do it. But first I must take off the concealing spell. But I won't do that until the fight begins ok?' She said. 'Alright mom.' Souta said.
Sesshomaru and Kagome arrived at the docks that Sango had said to go to. Once they stepped out of the car Miroku appeared out of the shadows as if he were made from them. "Is everything in place?" Sesshomaru asked. "Yes my lord, we have taken out all of the demon body guards quietly. They have no idea we are here. We have set up a perimeter where Sango is holding your family hostage." He said to Kagome. "Alright, time to go and kick some ass." She said. Before she could walk away Sesshomaru grabbed her and spun her around and kissed her. When they parted he smiled at her, "Be careful." He said. "You too." She smiled.
Kagome then made her way to an abandoned connex trailer. "Alright Sango I am here, where are you?" Kagome called out. Kagome heard a cynical laugh as Sango appeared from behind the connex. "I see you have made it, has Sesshomaru met my demands?" She asked. 'Shit I forgot about that, well might as well wing it.' She thought. "Yes, but it will take some time to clear Inuyasha's name fully." Kagome said. "Good, are there any questions before we continue?" Sango asked. "Just one, is Naraku the one sustaining your life?" Kagome asked. "How did you figure it out so fast?" Sango asked impressed with Kagome. "I just remembered the first time we met you all those years ago your life was being sustained by the tainted jewel shard from Naraku. I figured out that he must have placed some of his life essence to grow and feed off your power until the right moment." Kagome said. "Very good Kagome, quite the observer aren't you?" She chuckled. " So which being am I speaking to now?" Kagome asked. "You are speaking to Sango Kagome. Just because Naraku is in side of me doesn't mean he's controlling me. I am me, he is only giving me the power to defeat you and your mangy mutt of a lover." She bit. "I see, so seeing me with my family and me telling you of them when I would come back from my trips to see them, made you jealous?" Kagome asked.
At that Sango's mood changed to hatred and anger, "You don't have any idea of how it feels to have lost everyone you cared for, and then you're so called best friend keeps bringing up her wonderful family. What the fuck do you think Kagome that I would just sit there and be all happy and ignore the jabs it threw at me?" She asked. " Sango you knew I never meant to hurt you, I thought that you guys liked it when I shared my trips with you guys. You know could have always told me it was bothering you." Kagome said. "Yea well you wouldn't have listened anyway. You were always selfish and never thought about anyone else but yourself." Sango bit, and that hit a nerve with Kagome. "Sango you know damn well that I always thought of you all before myself. I always made sure you guys were fed, tended to after a battle and always had a friend to lean on. If anyone was selfish it was all of you, with the exception of Shippo." Kagome hissed. "Whatever Kagome, our squabbled is over. Hakadoshi bring the hostages out!" Sango yelled.
Then this giant dragon demon brought out Kagome's family. "Mom, Souta, Grandpa are you all right?" Kagome asked frantically. "We're fine dear, how about we show this bitch how we roll?" Ms. Higarashi smiled mischievously at Kagome. Kagome looked at her mom like she had gone crazy, "Mom I have never heard you cuss, I like it." Kagome smiled.
"What does she mean Kagome?" Sango demanded. Kagome turned and smiled as she dropped her concealing spell. Sango gasped seeing Kagome's demon markings and her family crest. "Y…You're the Princess of the Northern lands. That means…" She trailed off looking at Ms. Higarashi. "That's right sweetie, I am Tsukishida's mate and the best close hand combat demoness in the North." She smirked. "And I was her teacher, so she learned from the best." Ms. Higarashi's father said. "Let's say we finish this." Souta said smirking evilly.
From the shadows Miroku and Sesshomaru watched in fascination as Kagome and her family worked together and effectively put Sango on edge. Then Miroku and Sesshomaru gasped when they felt the enormous power Kagome was emitting along with her family. Then without warning Kagome began to transform, her miko powers coming out dangerously close to Sesshomaru and Miroku. Miroku then threw up a barrier to protect them from Kagome's immense power.
Kagome's form changed, her body transformed into a giant Lynx, her face had the one purple stripe on each cheek and her family crest formed on her forehead. Kagome's eyes went from the tanzanite to a royal blue with the whites of her eyes going red. She then let off a loud roar making Sango cover her ears.
Kagome's family soon followed suit and now there were 4 angry Lynx demons snarling at Sango. Kagome took a step forward as saliva dripped from her lips, and it landed on the Connex next to Sango making it melt. Kagome then figured out she had poisonous saliva. "K…Kagome…now… Don't do something stupid." Sango stuttered. Kagome had lost all thought, her beast was out and it was out for blood.
Kagome snarled and swatted her big paw at Sango who barely missed being plowed into a steel box. Kagome's mom then started to talk to Kagome's beast. 'Calm down, you can kill her soon. Let us have some fun first.' She said. 'Woman try and hurt family. Woman shall die.' Kagome's beast purred. 'You will get your chance pup, let us have some fun. Your intended is watching go to him he will sooth you until it's time.' Kagome's mom chided. Kagome's beast mulled her words over and decided that it was for the best. Kagome inclined her head and turned away from Sango and went to Sesshomaru.
Seeing Kagome coming over to him in her full form he decided to transform as well. Compared to Kagome, Sesshomaru was significantly bigger. He then rubbed his head against hers to calm her. To help as well he began to lightly groom her making her relax and sit down to watch her family do their thing. Sesshomaru was happy he lets her close enough to do this, usually when one's beast comes out for the first time it's extremely hard to come back to the real world.
Seeing Kagome turn from her Sango thought Kagome was giving her another chance, but she was sorely disappointed. Now that Kagome was gone she was replaced with three big angry Lynx demons snarling at her. "Uh..Uh…Can't we come to an agreement?" Sango ask knowing she wasn't going to get what she wanted. At hearing that Kagome's mother snarled and leaped at her pinning her under one huge paw. "How dare you try and use us against Kagome. We know about all the times she had with everyone in your group. And how can you blame Kagome for having a family when yours was killed? Sure it's a sad thing but not everyone has to be you. And even with Naraku's power it won't save you now." She snarled and then flung Sango into the steel box next to her. "Dad it's your turn." Ms. Higarashi said walking away and turning back into her humanoid form.
Kagome's grandfather toyed with Sango for a little bit while Souta learned some of the family moves. After that Sango was beat pretty bad, she knew there was no hope for her but she knew if she was going to go out she was going to go out blazing.
Kagome then sensed it was her time. Sesshomaru nuzzled Kagome's neck reassuring her. Kagome purred to let him know was ok. Her beast then turned to the injured woman a few feet from her. Kagome walked up to her and growled barring her razor sharp teeth at her. "Ready to die bitch for everything you and that bastard Inuyasha have caused me?" She growled out in a scratchy voice.
"Not yet ahh!" She yelled pulling out her 9mm pistol. She then began to fire the weapon at Kagome. The bullets bounced off the barrier Kagome had put up. Once the weapon was empty Kagome's beast had had enough and concentrated her poison to her claws. "Now you die, never to hurt us ever again." Kagome's beast said. Before Sango could utter another word Kagome's claws lashed out and severed Sango's head. Sango's body went limp as her body fell limp.
Kagome howled her victory but her beast wanted more. Seeing her beast wanted more Sesshomaru jumped over and began to lovingly rubbing his head on her and licking her neck. 'Kagome, come back to us. Calm your beast.' Sesshomaru said to her through thought. In Kagome's mind she heard Sesshomaru's plea and she pulled her beast back into her cage. 'Don't worry my beast I am sure you can come out and play again soon.' Kagome murmured to her beast. 'I hope so, be well master.' Her beast said retreating to her cage.
A few seconds later Kagome transformed back into her humanoid self and collapsed into Sesshomaru's arms. "Kagome are you ok?" Sesshomaru said. "Yea, transforming for the first time just took a lot out of me." Kagome said. "You did well for your first time, usually when one lets their beast out for the first time they go on a killing spree to sate their blood lust." Sesshomaru said. "I guess I have better control then I thought. Mom are you guys ok?" She asked. "Yes dear we are, now that this job is done we can all go home." She said. "I second that, I'm pooped." Kagome said. "That is fine, you all go ahead, my team and I will clean up this mess." Miroku said. Sesshomaru nodded and picked Kagome up and turned to go to his car. Kagome's family also followed so that they could get a ride back to the shrine.
Once Sesshomaru dropped off Kagome's family he headed to the mansion. On the way Kagome had fallen asleep. Sesshomaru looked at her and smiled, 'She lost a lot of power doing that, looks like she needs to train to get stronger so she doesn't lose it.' Sesshomaru thought.
After he had gotten home he put Kagome to bed and climbed in next to her once he was in his lounge pants. 'Now to start our lives without any interference.' He thought before sleep claimed him.
