Chapter 9
The trip to wolves domain was uneventful to which everyone was thankful. Carting around a dead prince may have made any potential threat think again. Then again it may have been Kagome's growing powers that even the human Sesshomaru could feel.
The demon Sesshomaru had grown more silent over the trip. His thoughts had going back to his Kagome and their child. God he hoped that she didn't think that he decided to stay in his time. What if she did something crazy like marry one of the villagers? He would have to kill him not question. She was his woman and she was carrying his child. He growled to himself
Upon arrival at the wolf caves howls of loss filled the air. It seemed that the wolves had caught the scent of Koga and death on the air. Ginta and Hakkaka greeted the group taking the fallen prince from them. Ginta lead the group to the wolf elders as Hakkaka took Koga's body to be prepared.
When they reached the elder it had been Kagome that explained find Koga. The elder's looked at the group searching for any signs of betrayal. They had already known that this woman before them was honorable from the many stories they had heard of her.
The elders decided to explain that Koga had left with Ayame to see if the rumors where true about the defeat of Naraku. They were informed of where they could find the wind witch and the elders speculated that Kagura had probably been the one to do this Koga.
That was until a little voice rang out in the cave. Kanna stepped forward with Talon at her side. "Ayame was the one to do this. I can prove it to." The little girl said raising her mirror to bring the images of betrayal.
Mirror Flashback
The image of the wolf prince and Ayame in the forest looking for the wind witch formed on the mirror. An arrow flew through the air striking the prince. Koga fell being paralyzed by the arrow as Ayame laughs. "Where's your precious priestess now." She laughed as Kikyo walks to her side.
The next scene is of the still paralyzed Koga being bound to a tree. Kikyo gives Ayame a questioning look as the princess explains.
"We should leave him to be found. We can't just throw him on the ground like the others." She said innocently
"I do not see how this will be teaching him anything, but it is not for me to decide." Kikyo sighed and headed out of the forest.
Ayame waited with swords in hand legs crossed leaning against the tree for Koga to wake. She could no longer feel Kikyo anywhere near them in the forest.
Angry blue eyes looked at the traitor in front of him.
"What is them meaning of this Ayame?" Koga growled. A twisted smile fell on her lips as she rose from her position.
"You have been running away from responsibility for too long Koga. I feel that it is time that you stop running!" She screamed as she chopped his legs from his form. He screamed as she broke into an uncontrollable laugh falling to the ground.
The images in the mirror stopped as all in the cave went silent. "She is a disgrace and shall be hunted like the dangerous animal she has become. Send out a hunting party. Ayame should suffer the same fate as Koga." The elders all agreed.
"Child is that the reason that you have come here?" The elder asked
Talon stepped forward to address the elders in front of him. "She asked me to bring her here in hopes that we would find the miko Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru." His voice held a power even when his form did not. At that point Kagome and the human Sesshomaru stepped forward.
"Well I see that you did not escape as I previously thought." Talon smirked.
Kanna raced forward to Kagome throwing her arms around her waist. "Will you be my mother?" Kanna asked with tears gathering.
That was an unexpected question. Kagome wasn't sure how to answer that. Kanna had once tried to kill her and now she wanted to be her daughter. Well then again Sesshomaru had tried to kill her and now she was having his baby. She looked to Sesshomaru to see what he thought. A sigh left his lips as he ran his fingers through his long black hair and gave her a nod.
Kagome smiled "Kanna are you sure about this? What about Kagura? I know she will miss you." Kagome asked the now jumping and squealing girl.
"Kagura doesn't care about me. She just felt responsible for me, but I want a real family like the girl that follows Lord Sesshomaru around and I know where that bad lady keeps the jewels that hold the lords magic" Kanna said looking to the human Sesshomaru.
So Kanna knew where to find the jewels. The demon Sesshomaru found this to be rather helpful for the group. They would return to the South get the jewel and then maybe he could get the hell out of this place.
"Then we should leave for the Southern palace as soon as we can." The demon said drawing attention to his self.
Talon furrowed his brow "What the hell did they do Sesshomaru split your body like your personality." Talon laughed as the human rolled his eyes.
The demon Sesshomaru walked over and took a deep breath. With a smirk "So you fucked the wind bitch huh?" The demon laughed as Kagome's jaw dropped even Inuyasha tilted his furry head to the knowledge.
"I was chained to a wall." He grumbled out for all to hear.
"Yes you must have put up a fight I am sure." He smirked walking away.
Elsewhere in an alternate Feudal Era
Kikyo had jumped back to her universe and started to head for the village. She could see the fire in the hut was still burning. As she approached the hut she could hear crying. Perfect this was exactly what she needed to manipulate the trusting girl.
Kagome sat by the fire in her hut she rubbed the tears away from her eyes for what seemed the hundredth time. He hadn't come back to her after the fight like he always did before. She could feel her heart grow cold.
"You lied to me Sesshomaru. You said you loved me." She whimpered into the empty air in her hut.
Dark hair falling over her shoulder as she lowered her head her aura grew dark around her. She rubbed her belly feeling the only thing that she had left of him. She set the dagger in front of her as she took another sip of tea. He wasn't coming back for her or their baby.
A gust of wind blew into the hut making her face the entrance to her hut. Kikyo eyed the girl and then the dagger.
"I know where he is Kagome." Kikyo said to the darkening girl.
"He left you all alone to raise his child while he is off with another woman. Can you believe that he got her pregnant too?" Kikyo smirked as the girl looked up at her shock and denial on her face.
He was with another woman and he had gotten her pregnant also. She frowned, as her eyes grew dark.
"I think that he said that he was going to marry her and you where some kind of mistake. After I heard that I knew that I had to come and get you Kagome." Kikyo said moving to embrace the confused girl.
"Why do you care Kikyo? You have also tried to destroy me. This should be a blessing." Kagome murmured into Kikyo's shoulder.
"I just thought that maybe you would like the opportunity to confront him and his whore." Kikyo cooed
Kagome looked to the dark miko.
"Yes lets go." Kagome said raising to her feet. She was going to make that bastard pay. Then she would take care of that bitch he was fucking around with. Reaching the well Kikyo grabbed Kagome by the hand and jumped over.
Reaching the other side of the well Kikyo put no haste in their return to the Southern palace. She couldn't afford to have them run into each other yet. She would have to get that human Sesshomaru away from the girl in order for her plan to work. Then she could be rid of that bastard for good and the bonus was that Kagome would be the one to kill him.
