Kagome was watching over Sango's and Miroku's baby when she was suddenly hit with a troubled feeling.
"The jewel, Sesshomaru, Rin," Kagome gasped, she floated to their place and found it on fire.
"No!" Kagome shouted out, she didn't see Sesshomaru or Rin anywhere, she flew into the house, she heard screaming coming from Rin's room,
"Rin!" Kagome cried out, she floated to Rin's room and found her unconscious. Kagome, in her protective mode was able to pick Rin up but she saw Sesshomaru in the other room fighting a demon.
"Sesshomaru," Kagome shocked, she ran to Sesshomaru,
"Get her out of here now," Sesshomaru growled out,
"Sesshomaru, Rin is your kid, you have to do this, this is my fight, go, take her and the jewel and go, I got this, just get out of here," Kagome grabbing his arm and throwing Rin in his arms.
"Kagome," Sesshomaru letting his mask of emotionless fade, his voice was dripping with shock and dare I say worry.
"Go, get her out now or you'll lose her," Kagome screamed, he held Rin tightly to his chest and left the blazing house.
"Sesshomaru, are you alright?" Inuyasha running out with their father and mother right behind him,
"Take her, I have to get Kagome out," Sesshomaru giving Inuyasha Rin and running back to the burning house, but suddenly house erupted with a bright pink explosion, throwing Sesshomaru back a few feet, he hit his head on a rock and blacked out. His father carried Sesshomaru into their house and Inuyasha followed behind with little Rin.
Two hours later
Sesshomaru woke up in the middle of the night.
"Rin," Sesshomaru jerked up, he was about to through his parents house till he felt and smelt Rin next to him. He glanced over at Rin,
"She's alright, I made sure and Father made sure that she was alright…what the hell is wrong with you, going back to save a ghost?" Inuyasha being his usual self, Sesshomaru rubbed his face,
"Kagome wasn't a ghost, she's in a coma, she got us out of the house," Sesshomaru remembering everything. Inuyasha laughed,
"What pretell are you finding so funny half breed?" Sesshomaru growled.
"Kagome, she always did care more for others than herself, you are lucky, she could have left you to die in that fire," Inuyasha smirking. Sesshomaru was still out of it,
"Did you see her get out?" Sesshomaru lowly growled,
"She's a freaking ghost Sesshomaru, she couldn't have died," Inuyasha shouted at him, Sesshomaru sat on the side of the bed and suddenly snatched Inuyasha by the throat, his eyes were bleeding red.
"Did you see her get out of the house?" Sesshomaru growled dangerously at Inuyasha,
"No, there was a bright pink light and the house exploded," Inuyasha shrugged, Sesshomaru dropped Inuyasha on the floor. When Sesshomaru tried to stand up he just about hit the floor himself, but Inuyasha caught him,
"Where are you going?" Inuyasha helping him sit back down.
"I have to find her," Sesshomaru growled at receiving help from his half brother.
"You aren't going anywhere for a while, you were burnt by her purification powers, you need to rest and heal, you can wait till morning," Inuyasha explained. Sesshomaru looked at his body, his arms, legs, and a little bit of his face was singed,
~Must have been from that explosion, miko, you better be alright, you still have one more thing to take care of.~ Sesshomaru thought suddenly being hit with exhaustion, he fell unconscious again.
Morning comes
Sango woke with a jolt, waking her husband in the process,
"Honey, what's wrong?" Miroku wrapping an arm around his wife,
"I don't know but something is definitely wrong," Sango running a hand through her hair. The phone ran, Sango tackled Miroku to get to the phone,
"Hello," Sango a little too anxious,
"It's Sesshomaru, have either of you heard from Kagome?" Sesshomaru a little anxious himself which was way out of character for him.
"No, Sesshomaru, what happened, I know something happened so don't you dare try to lie to me!" Sango getting upset.
"There was an attack on us last night, Kagome saved Rin and myself but she stayed behind in the burning house fighting a dragon youkai, Inuyasha said there was a bright pink light and the house exploded, she isn't here and no one has seen her since," Sesshomaru explained.
"You need to check all around the grounds, there's a garden she loved to spend her time in her family's garden out back, another place she could be is the cemetery where her family is buried in, its Rolling Hills Cemetery, its west from the house, keep straight, go through town, it will be right past the park on your left, I'm going to the hospital to see if she might be there, call me if you hear anything from her, please," Sango cried.
"Of course and Sango, thanks," Sesshomaru growled out,
"She obviously cares a lot about you Sesshomaru, don't break her heart if she wakes up," Sango hanging up. Sesshomaru put the phone back in its cradle and went to check out the gardens. Once he arrived in the garden he was reminded of his own home back in the Feudal Era his biological mother had grown a huge garden. Every kind of flower she could find went into that garden.
"Kagome…where are you?" Sesshomaru lowly growled, he was annoyed how much a simple transparent figure of a woman could make him feel so much emotion after all the past centuries of feeling nothing and she turned out to be a miko no less. Sesshomaru swept the gardens clean, there was no trace of her. He decided to check out the house that had exploded, it had been where she lived before the machines in the hospital started living for her. Inuyasha came out onto the balcony and watched him search the rumble. Sesshomaru was annoyed he let out a roar, but Inuyasha heard something different in the bellow of his cry; compassion, worry, and maybe a little bit of fear of never being able to find the ghost who had been plaguing him ever since he moved into that house. Sesshomaru came back to the mansion with new determination to find this ghost, he paid Inuyasha no mind as he stripped his robe off and threw on a long a long sleeve white dressy button up shirt and a pair of black slacks with shinny black dress shoes.
"Give up so soon?" Inuyasha huffed,
"No, I am going to find this woman, and put a stop to this mess once and for all," Sesshomaru glancing at Rin. Rin was still asleep,
"What the hell are you going on about?" Inuyasha knitting his eyebrows together,
"Lower level youkai have been attacking me and its her fault, you are going to take me to this Rolling Hills Cemetery, then you will take me to the hospital she is being treated in," Sesshomaru growled out.
"She just saved your sorry ass life last night and now you are going to what…kill her? She's already dead Sesshomaru," Inuyasha shouted. In a blink of an eye Sesshomaru had Inuyasha slammed against the wall having a tight grip on Inuyasha's neck.
"The miko is not dead little brother, she lies in a hospital where machines have been living for her, now you will take this Sesshomaru to the cemetery and to the hospital, I will find her," Sesshomaru growled and snapped out. He released Inuyasha, Inuyasha gently held his throat,
"Your aren't going to kill Kagome, I may have screwed her heart over but I will protect her," Inuyasha growled back at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru stared at Inuyasha, he laughed at the half demon before him,
"I could kill you with one swipe of my claws, what makes you think you could protect her from me?" Sesshomaru getting in his face. Inuyasha stared him down, suddenly his eyes narrowed,
"You love her," Inuyasha stated with shock in his voice.
"You are ridiculous little brother, I have no time for this, take me to the places where I acquire to go… I will not order you again," Sesshomaru seethed. Inuyasha glanced at the little human on the large king sized bed,
"What about her?" Inuyasha asked,
"Bring her with us," Sesshomaru thinking about Kagome's words.
"Sesshomaru, a graveyard is not the place for a kid nor a hospital," Inuyasha whispered,
"She will not stay here if she knows I am out looking for Kagome and I am not lying to her, nor will I leave her while she is asleep, pick her up and bring her with us," Sesshomaru huffed. Inuyasha picked her up and carried her to the car, Sesshomaru strapped the seatbelt over her shoulder,
"Sesshomaru," Rin whined,
"You're okay Rin, I am here," Sesshomaru trying to comfort her, he shut the door after he jumped in beside Rin. Inuyasha smirked as he backed out of the garage, Sesshomaru glared at him.
"It's about damn time you took an interest," Inuyasha driving toward the cemetery,
"And you speak of what half breed?" Sesshomaru growled,
"Of a family," Inuyasha simply replied.
"I care for Rin as my own, that is all," Sesshomaru huffed,
"Yeh sure and I'm the richest full dog demon in all the lands," Inuyasha snorted as he made his way to the cemetery.
At the Cemetery
"Inuyasha, stay in the car, do not let Rin out of your sight," Sesshomaru getting out of the car.
"Sesshomaru, why can't Rin come?" Rin pouted,
"Rin, this is not the place for a child, stay with Inuyasha, I'll be right back," Sesshomaru kissing her forehead,
"Okay," Rin smiling, Sesshomaru shut the door and walked around, trying to find Kagome's family. Something was off, he smelt soil but he also smelt Inu but it wasn't full blooded. He came to a tree, in the shade of the tree he found Kagome's mother, father, her little brother, and her adopted child graves. He looked at the graves confused, the grave of Kagome's daughter had been dug up and the coffin lid ripped apart. Sesshomaru took a whiff of the air, he then took a look at the coffin, he bent down and gently rubbed his hand against the coffin,
"Claw marks, her kid…is still alive?" Sesshomaru questioned no one in particular.
