The Grim Reaper's Vengence Chapter 5: Breaking Inside, an inuyasha fanfic

The Reaper raised his scathe and his arm popped. Groaning softly, he slowly let his arm fall. Sighing at his old joints, he blinked multiple times. A smile grew on his wrinkled face. His black eyes stared at the object of this meeting.

"Sorry to scare you. I mean you no harm." He said bowing a little.

Kagome peaked from behinds Sesshomaru slightly.

"What do you want with Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I came to speak with Kagome and you about a proposition." He responded softly.

I caught a chill
And it's still frozen on my skin
I think about why I'm alone
By myself no one else to explain
How far do I go?
No one knows, if the end is so much better
Why don't we just live forever?
Don't tell me I'm the last one in line
Don't tell me I'm too late this time

"About what?" Sesshomaru asked in a bored tone. He was analyzing this creature. He had never seen such a being and the energy waves that came off him and that scathe was competing with his own. How powerful was this being?

The being smiled. "I am the Grim Reaper. My name is Grimm. I have come with a proposition for the two of you. I am retiring and I need someone to take my place. And out of all the beings in living world and the underworld, I have chosen you. Kagome, I ask you to take on my scathe and the title of The Grim Reaper."

Kagome peaked from behind Sesshomaru in awe. He wanted her to be the new reaper? But why? She was a nobody and everybody hated her. She was a pregnant seventeen year old that had been raped by her 'best friend'. Why would he want her to be the reaper?

As if reading her mind he spoke again.

"I know you are dealing with some hardships. The things that have happened to you are unexplainable and unacceptable but I am here to offer you and your child a chance to make it better. Kagome accept my offer." He said stepping closer on light steps.

I don't want to live to waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made
Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't wanna fall and say I lost it all
Cause baby there's a part of me that hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside

Standing in front of Sesshomaru, Grimm looked at the strong young male with mirth. He remembered when he was this young. Gripping his scathe tighter he spoke again.

"You, young Sesshomaru, I know you want to help her get over the horrible things done to her so I ask you become her helper. Be her back up and muscle when she cannot stand strong."

Sesshomaru nodded slowly.

"What is your decision Kagome?" Grimm asked slowly.

"I would love to help but I don't think I am the right person." She said softly.

"But you are. You know pain and suffering and what is like to be alone. The Grim Reaper is an alone being with many slaves and power. I have no slaves but I do have power. You and Sesshomaru are destined to rule the Underworld. Rule it well."

"Rule the Underworld?"

"You decide if someone is to live or if someone is to die. I know you will not let this power go to your head and that is why you are chosen." He responded.

"Chosen? I am chosen?" She whispered.

"Yes you are. Now what is your answer?" he asked.

"Sesshomaru can stay by my side right?"

Grimm nodded.

"My child will be okay right?"

Another nod.

"Then I guess, I'll be the new reaper." She agreed.

"Excellent! You shall become the Reaper on the eve of your eighteenth birthday. Which I believe is next month."

Kagome nodded.

"You will be the New Reaper next month. Congratulations and good luck Kagome. I will be waiting when it is time." He said before disappearing into the ground.

Kagome stared at the place he had disappeared. The new reaper huh?

Out here, nothings clear
Except the moment I decided to move on and I ignited
Disappear into the fear
You know there ain't no comin' back when you're still carrying the past
You can't erase, separate
Cigarette in my hand, hope you all understand
I won't be the last one in line, I finally figured out what's mine

-3 weeks later-

Sesshomaru watched the girl that had been living with him for a couple weeks tickle his daughter. Rin laughed and begged for her father's assistance in tears as Kagome tickled her. She looked up at him and smiled as she gave poor Rin a break. They had grown extremely close in the past few weeks since he'd rescued her from herself. It was strange really. Sometimes he could see the animal inside her. She had told him almost everything and truth be told he was heated. His own brother had disgraced her and it ate him up that he hadn't caught on sooner. Her wounds had healed nicely but her eye wasn't savable. His beast itched to comfort her but he stuck to what he did for Rin.

Clearing his throat, he caught their attention.

"Rin, tell Kagome bye." He said softly.

Rin pouted but jumped into Kagome's arms.

"Bye momma." She said kissing her cheek.

Sesshomaru raised a brow at her. Momma?

"Bye Rin." She said hugging her tight before putting her down. "Be good for the tutor okay, and I'll buy you a treat. That is if your dad says it's okay." She winked.

Rin nodded vigorously.

"Okay bye Rin." Kagome said grabbing her book bag and walking to the door.

"Bye daddy." Rin said hugging Sesshomaru's leg.

"Bye Rin." He said patting her head.

Rin smiled as she let go of her father and watched him walk out the door with her momma. Looking up at the maid that smiled at her, she skipped down to her lessons.

Kagome and Sesshomaru walked to his car. Getting in, they drove in silence. It wasn't an awkward silence but a comfortable silence. As they neared the school, Kagome spotted Inuyasha and Kikyou making out on his car. Letting her gaze drop, she sighed. There was her proof right there that he waas cheating on her. Well now it was time to end it once and for all. It still hurt though.

"Do not dwell on it. Let it go. He will get his." He said patting her head.

"Thanks Sesshomaru." She smiled sweetly.

Getting out of her Trig class, Kagome was greeted to a frowning Inuyasha. Frowning her brows at him, she looked at him in a bored fashion. Her eye focused on his angry form before unfocusing and blinking.

"What Inuyasha?" she asked walking around him and on to her locker.

"Why have you been hanging around my brother so much lately?" he asked looking her up and down.

Kagome sighed. "That's none of your business."

"And why isn't it?" he barked.

"Because it's not." She hissed.

"What are you sleeping with him? Are you cheating on me?" he asked with a sneer.

"Let's not go there Inuyasha. I seem to recall pink lipstick on someone's neck. It would seem like cheating is your thing." she replied boredly.

"You're lying. You smell like him and…. You're pregnant?!" He shouted, completely ignoring her words.

By now everyone had gathered around the two. Everyone was shocked at the accusation coming from the hanyou Tashio. Who would want to impregnant her? Surely it wasnt Sesshomaru-sama? Right, right?!

I wont be the last in line
I finally figured out what's mine

Kagome let out a sigh. "Yes."

"Why you-"

"Lay a hand on her and see if you keep that hand." Sesshomaru's deep baritone filled the hallway. Students moved out of the way as he made his way to Kagome and Inuyasha.

"So he finally makes an appearance." Inuyasha hissed.

"Kagome are you ready?" he asked completely ignoring his half sibling.

She nodded slowly before closing her locker and walking past Inuyasha.

"This isn't over whore!" he said leaving the crowd in the other direction.

Sesshomaru and Kagome had gone to his car. She had begun crying and her one eye was bleeding. He could tell they weren't tears of sadness. They were angry frustrated tears that came out bitterly. Wiping her watery eye, she looked at Sesshomaru with a frown.

"Thanks for coming to my rescue." She whispered.

He remained silent. Her bloody eye was going to bleed for awhile. It was a side effect that couldnt be changed. He didnt really mind it though. It made her blue eyes pop out more than they already did.

"Hey I have a question." She said with a small smile.

"What might that be?" he responded.

"Can you tell what I'm having?" she asked softly.

Blinking once, he reached over and touched her stomach. He was surpised when the little youki moved to his hand. Letting his own youki surround the child, he could tell by the way it brushed against his own it was a boy. And not only that but it was a full blooded youkai. Nodding to himself, he moved his hand.

"You are having a boy and he is full blooded youkai." He nodded.

"Oh wow. A son. I'm having a little boy." She said touching her stomach.

"My little Shippo."
