Chapter three

Kagome woke not long after sun rise and cooked breakfast before her and shippo started to pack up the camp and move on. They both smiled happily as they walked and talked. Sesshomaru watched quietly from a distance as he followed them. After he had gone back to the castle to have rooms made ready for them he set out to find her after his talk with his brother that morning. 'Why can't you stay out of my thoughts for even a day?' he asked himself as he followed quietly unseen and unheard behind them. Sesshomaru sighed softly as he ran in front of her and waited in a nearby clearing for her to come through. Kagome hummed a song happily as she walked into the clearing and spotted Sesshomaru. She smiled happily as she stopped and watched him for a moment her heart soaring as she watched him. She was just happy to see him again. She smiled as she walked over and sat down next to him.

"Hello there Sesshomaru" She said as she smiled as she looked over at him. She smiled as she laid back in the soft grass and put her arms behind her head looking up at the sky. Shippo resting quietly on her stomach.

"Kagome why are you in the western lands?" He asked as he turned to look up at the sky with her. They had both long since droped the formal talking to one another, he respected her for being able to do the one thing no one could and in the end she deserved his respect that she had proven to him. Her scent of cherry blossoms and jasmine made his head light and his heart beat sped up.

"Well me and shippo just thought we would travel for a while" She said as she smiled watching the clouds.

"where are you two heading to?" He asked now curious as to where they were headed in the first place.

"Don't know just thought we would wonder for a while then settle down in a village or something and start a life there." She said softly. 'Altho I would really like to stay with you If you would let me.' She thought not voicing the last part.

"Well then how about you and your pup come and stay with me for a while." Sesshomaru said as he smiled at her. She was one of the only one's that could get past the ice that was around his heart. Someway or another she was able to shatter the Ice around it, Rin his ward had cracked it when he met her, but over time this strange human Miko was able to shatter it.

"You would really let me a human miko and her adopted demon pup stay with you at the western castle?" She asked as she sat up and looked over at him shocked that he would even ask.

"well you did destory Naraku and Rin would be happy to have someone to play with for a while and to see you again, she's been asking when she would see you again." He said as he watched her reaction.

"Well alright then we could stay for awhile with you" She said smiling happily as they stood and headed to the western castle quietly shippo sleeping in her arms.

Yasha yawned softly as she woke and sat up next to the dead camp fire. She looked around and looked over her sisters sleeping forms. She smiled as she decided to go hunting for breakfast. She was off in a matter of minutes. Raine and Reyvin woke while she was gone and figured that's where she had gone.

"Raine when are we going to tell Kags who she really is?" Rei asked as she came back with fire wood.

"When the time is right you know that. She is our little sister even if she believes herself to be human she is far from it." Raine said as she looked up at the sky wondering that herself. 'Kami I'm afraid I can't wait much longer and still have time to train her in time for what is to come. She doesn't know that the Shikon was only a pralude of things to come, i'm afraid she will soon tho.' She said softly to the god of the earth. [I know when you feel the time is right little one then tell her soon I fear the same thing things are moving faster then I thougt they would] Raine nodded her head that she would as soon as she felt the time was right. Yasha walked back into the camp site and smiled as she started to cut up the rabbit she had found.

"Not much out this morning is there Yasha?" Raine asked as she looked over at her sister. Yasha nodded as she started cooking the meat.

Inuyasha had cought her scent and followed her smiling to himself. 'Found her. About time too I was starting to wonder if I would find her. DAMN IT, why wont she leave my mind for just a few minutes?' He growled as he jumped from tree to tree following her scent. He came to a small camp with three female demons sitting around the fire, one working on the fire, another looking up at the sky and the last was the one he wanted to see she was cutting up a rabbit for them to eat that morning. He jumped up into a tree and sat just watching her quietly. 'She's even more beautiful then I remember her.' He thought as he watched.

Raine knew when he had gotten close to the camp and wondered what he wanted and why he wasn't back at the village in the frist place. 'What could he be doing here?' She asked herself as she stood and sat under the tree he was in.

'Inuyasha what are you doing here?' She asked him in his mind. He sat up and looked around then down at Raine who smiled at him and pointed to her head telling him to answer her in his head and she would hear him. He nodded and leaned back against the tree and continued to watch her.

[um well I was looking for Yasha.]

'Why?'

[um... well I was wanting to get to know her better. I haven't been able to get her out of my mind since we met]

'What about Kikyou didn't you two mate?'

[No I finally realized she was more of a close friend then a lover or a mate. But since then Yasha has been the only one on my mind and its driving me crazy.]

'Ah I see. You ran into Sessy on your way here didn't you?'

[Yeah how did you know that?]

'Being a full blood demon our sence of smell is stronger then that of a henyou. I have no reason not to get alone with henyous so you don't bother me. but know this you have to prove to me and Reyvin that you will not hurt her in anyway understand. We are very hard to get past but if you do you may be allowed to mate with her.'

[Really alright I'll do my best. You two are the real reason she don't have a mate yet right?]

'Exactly. We are head home to the western castle care to join us?'

[Would Sesshomaru let me stay there too?]

'Yes he already has a room ready for you. Come down when your ready okay.'

[um alright.]

'Relax just be your self and you'll do fine okay.'

[Why are you being so nice to me I've given you no reason to be this way?]

'I may be a bitch in a battle but when it comes down to it i'm not a bad person. I'm cold to some cause I have to be. If I wasn't I wouldn't be the one of the last female fox demons alive now would I. In truth there are only two of us left.'

[Mind if I ask why you are the last?]

'No not at all I get that question alot anyway. Me and Reyvin are the Princesses of the Southern lands. Our father when we were little slaughtered our mother and our older brother in front of us when I was only 3, Reyvin was 2 at the time. It was a mistake on his part upon seeing the death of our family our powers woke up at one time we killed the demons that had killed our family but at that age even we weren't stronge enough to kill our father yet. Which is why he still lives to day.'

[Oh and I thought my past was bad. I'm sorry about that. What about Yasha?]

'Its okay. If you want to know her past the you have to ask her about it dear. For a while I didn't think you had a heart but now I see other wise.'

{Raine} Another male voice interupted their conversation.

'Yes Kami?'

{A large pack of demon are about ten minutes away from you girls and Inuyasha. Be ready for them okay}

'Right. Coming down inuyasha would be best'

[Who the hell was that?]

'Kami himself' Raine thought as she stood and looked up at him. He nodded as he jumped down and walked into camp quietly.

"Yasha breakfast will have to wait dear we have problems." Raine said as she walked over to her sisters.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Reyvin asked as she glared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at the ground not saying a word which was strange for him. Raine told her in her mind why he was here in the first please. Reyvin glared at him somemore.

'Do you think he will make it past us?'

'I don't know but I really think he will'

'Fine then' Reyvin thought as she turned her arms crossed over her chest to face the direction the demons were coming from.

'No worries she's like that with everyone Inu'

[alright then]

Moments later a pack of assorted demons broke through the tree line and raced into the small clearing. They snapped and growled loudly at the four. The leader walked foward and looked them over thinking this was going to be an easy battle seeing as there was only one male in the group. They would take the females and do what they please to them after the half breed was taken care of.

"Half breed If you want to live then I would suggest you leave and let us have the females." The leader growled out loudly to Inu. Inu growled loudly as he watched them.

"Now why would I want to do that?" Inu growled out as he placed his hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga getting ready for a battle. He had just found her and he wasn't about to let any other male demon come close to her.

'Inu now is a chance to prove that you would protect her from the leader. He seems to want to battle with you and not one of us. Don't worry me and Reyvin will take care of the rest of them. I've placed a spell on Yasha so she can't move its up to you to protect her now. The spell will be broke when they are all dead understand' Raine said as her eyes glowed slightly placing the spell. Inu nodded as he stepped in front of Yasha intent on protecting her with his life if need be.

"Stupid half breed do you think you can protect all three of them when one of them can't move?" The leader growled out loudly. Yasha tried to move but was unable to, her breathing picked up as she looked around herself. Her heart beat speeding up as she looked over at her sister Raine.

'Yasha calm down hunny if things go bad then the spell will break dear. You have someone who wants to possibly be with you and you know we have to test him love.' Raine thought as she pulled out her whip poured her lighting powers into it as she cracked it above her head.

'You mean Inuyasha?' Yasha asked as she blushed lightly looking down at the ground then over to the henyou next to her.

'Yes love but you know he must pass all of our tests first. Yasha I know you love him but you know our rules love' Yasha nodded at her sisters thoughts and relaxed having faith in the Inu half breed next to her. Reyvin pulled out her katanna and smirked at the demons in front of her.

"I don't need to protect all three just one. I will not let you touch her." Inu growled as he drew his weapon and waited for the enemy to strike first. The leader growled as he watched the other two female drow their weapons taking their places next to the henyou. The demons behind him charged at the four in front of them.

'Remember Inu the leader is yours' Raine said before she charged she cracked her whip at several of the demons killing three at that point. Reyvin had killed four just as fast, the leader growled at them and charged past the two females and started to attack Yasha. Inu blocked the attack and pushed him away harshly. Inu growled as he charged at the leader sword raised and got in several good strikes before the demon dodged. The leader panted softly as he held his side that had been sliced open by the henyou. Raine and Reyvin had finished the rest of the pack and stood on the side watching them fight it out.

'He's doing really well Rei'

/yeah as much as I hate to say it he really is doing a good job. He must really have a thing for her if he's fighting this way./

'Yeah I really think he does love her. I asked about Kikyou and he said she had found a human mate and was happy. He sees her and Kags as more of little sisters now.'

/Really?/

'yeah. I told him he could come with us to the castle. Sessy already has a room ready for him and it gives the two a chance to get to know each other better before we get there'

/I suppose your right sis./

Raine nodded at her sister and watched as Inu killed the leader of the pack of demons that had attacked them. The spell on Yasha broke and she smiled happily at her sisters. Inu stood off to the side and watched Yasha and her sisters.

"Very good Inu. Now lets get to the castle before we are attacked again." Raine said as she started to walked into the forest again smiling as she did. Reyvin nodded to the two and followed her sister. Yasha smiled as she grabbed inu's hand and pulled him with her.

"Um okay I'm coming, I'm coming" He said as he speed up to keep up with the female pulling him along with her. He blushed lightly as he looked at her hand in his. Her skin was smooth as he had thought it would be in his dreams. After about an hour they reached the castle gates.

"Kiyoshi open the gate please" Raine called to the guard of the front gate. The guard looked down at her and nodded. The gates opened and they all walked in quietly. Raine yawned softly as she walked into the castle.

"Lady Raine its good to have you back." A servent said softly as she bowed to her lady.

"Sakura-chan my chambers are ready right?" Raine asked as she yawned softly again. Sakura nodded that it was. Raine nodded as she walked off to her chambers to rest.

"Lord Inuyasha follow me please and I'll show you to your rooms" Sakura said smiling at Yasha and Inu. He nodded as he followed the girl to his chambers quietly. He looked at his hand quietly as he walked. Sakura smiled as she glanced back at him, even she could see he was in love with the Lady Yasha but wasn't sure. Since it was already late in the day Inu bathed and redressed before dinner was to start. Dinner was uneventfull and it was soon time for bed.
