Hey guys! Here is chapter twelve! WARNING LEMON AHEAD! LEMON AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Hope you enjoy it let me know how I did!
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.
Kagome snuggled closer to the wall of heat beside her. She sighed in contentment as she listened to her pillows heart beat.
Wait a minute…
A pillow… with a heartbeat?!
Suddenly the memory of what happened last night came flooding back to her. What she and Inuyasha did, and she blushed. Thank Kami that the walls were extremely thick and Inuyasha's room happened to be located in the most deserted part of the mansion! She couldn't believe how wanton she acted last night!
It had been the most amazing night of her life but she couldn't help but wonder if she should have waited. She didn't regret it at all, it had been the most pleasurable experience of her life and it made her happy.
Kagome was truly happy with Inuyasha. She loved him, she knew that, but it was more than love. It was a special connection they shared, something that she knew she wouldn't have with any other being. It was a connection that she knew, deep down, would never be able to be broken, and especially after last night, was no way of running from it. She accepted it, embraced it even. It was remarkable how one night could change everything for someone, how it could open someone's eyes to reality.
Kagome smiled as she listened to his even heartbeat. Thump thump. Thump thump. It was soothing and almost lulled her back to sleep as she lazily ran her hand down his hard chest.
"Awake baby?" came the deep lazy voice of her hanyou as he tightened his arms around her waist.
"Mmmhmmm," she answered, completely content lying in his arms.
Inuyasha stroked her raven locks, enjoying the feeling of running his clawed fingers through it. He loved this woman, and he knew it. He didn't know how or when to tell her and wasn't sure he would unless he knew for sure he had the same feelings for him. Kagome was special, and the bond between them was even more extraordinary. Last night proved that they were truly meant to be, he felt something with Kagome that he never felt with anyone else before. It wasn't just about the amazing sex, it was the feeling of them becoming one, the feeling of belonging in each other's arms and it feeling so right. He still felt not completely entwined with her soul, and knew it was only because she didn't possess his mating mark.
Inuyasha imagined biting into her delicate neck as an orgasm hit her hard, her face flushed, moaning with pleasure as he marked her as his forever. That thought instantly got him hard again. He fisted his hand in her hair and pulled her head back, crashing his lips onto hers.
Warning: Lemon
Kagome wasn't too surprised since she had noticed his member spring to life as she kissed him back. Passion came crashing down onto both of them as the kiss turned more demanding. Kagome lightly ran her finger nails down his chest, earning a growl from Inuyasha. She dragged her nails over his flat, hard belly and slipped under the blanket.
Inuyasha groaned as he felt her soft hand wrap around his hard erection. Kagome broke the kiss to trail open mouth kisses from his lips, his jaw line, his strong neck, and she got up on her knees as she kissed down his chest. She flicked her tongue over one of his nipples. Inuyasha shivered at the contact and Kagome kissed down his chest, then over his hard belly. She felt his muscles quivering beneath her. She let go of his member and Inuyasha almost whimpered at the loss of warmth.
Kagome wedged herself to sit between his legs and her eyes widened slightly as she looked at him. He was a lot bigger than she imagined! She was surprised that it had actually fit inside of her. She gripped him with one hand again and lowered her head. Hesitantly she flicked her tongue out over his tip, and Inuyasha gasped. Encouraged, she slowly swirled her tongue over his head and Inuyasha gripped the sheets to keep himself from bucking his hips forward into her hot mouth.
Kagome took the head of him into her mouth, loving his salty sweet taste. Inuyasha groaned as Kagome lowered her mouth over his engorged member, her head slowly bobbing up and down as she gently sucked him.
"Mm Kagome," he moaned. Kagome started bobbing faster, loving hearing him moan her name like that. It was absolutely thrilling to be able to bring him so much pleasure.
Soon enough Kagome was sucking hard and fast, using a free hand to fondle his ball sac as Inuyasha thrust his hips forward into her burning hot mouth.
"Kagome stop! I'm going to cum if you don't!" Inuyasha rasped out, gripping her soft hair.
Kagome didn't stop. Instead she gripped his thighs with both hands and started sucking more vigorously. With one more quick thrust Inuyasha exploded in her mouth, and Kagome swallowed everything he had to give her.
Suddenly she was seized by the arms and tossed onto the bed. Inuyasha rolled her over to her side, and lay beside her, his front to her back. Kagome turned her head for a kiss and Inuyasha kissed her eagerly. He grabbed her leg and laid it over his waist and dragged a clawed hand to touch her. She was already wet and ready for him.
Inuyasha slid into her opened and Kagome moaned. He thrust slow and deep into her hot core. Kagome reached her arm up to wrap around his neck and thrust he hips back. He started to thrust harder and faster, Kagome's panting and moaning was like music to his ears.
"Oh Inuyasha yes! Mmm," She moaned and Inuyasha growled lightly and nipped her ear.
He reached down and picked her leg up so he could get a better angle. Kagome screamed at the new sensation of him thrusting deep and hard inside of her. It felt so amazing she could almost cry.
Inuyasha grunted as he continued to thrust into her, pounding her as hard as he could. Who would have guessed Kagome was so wild?! It was an amazing turn on. He sensed she was close and moved his free hand that had been under her around her waist to massage her pink sensitive bud.
"INUYASHAAAAAAA!!!!" Kagome screamed, her whole body twitching in ecstasy as she came. One last thrust and Inuyasha released himself inside of her, and then collapsed on the bed, both of them panting.
End Lemon
"That was wonderful," Kagome breathed out and Inuyasha swelled with male pride and smirked. Just then a small rumbling noise made its way to his ears and Kagome blushed lightly. "Well guess I'm a little hungry."
"Hmm you would be after all that exercise," Inuyasha teased. He gave her a quick kiss and got out of the bed. Kagome admired his lean form as he bent down to wrap the discarded towel from last night around his trim waist.
"Where you going?" Kagome asked.
"To take a shower," he answered making his way to the bedroom door.
"Oh," Kagome was a little disappointed that he wasn't going to take a shower in here… with her.
"You need to rest," Inuyasha chuckled sensing her disappointment. "You need to build your stamina up before you can keep up with me. Trust me you're going to need to rest after that."
"Just get out," Kagome groaned, covering her face with a pillow to cover her blush. Inuyasha laughed, his golden eyes sparkling, and left the room.
With a huge smile on her face, and feeling more happy then she had in over four years Kagome got out of bed and headed for the shower. For once, all those bad memories, and all her worries were shoved far from her mind and temporarily forgotten.
-x-
Kagome sauntered into the kitchen, a huge smile plastered on her pretty face.
"Good morning Kaede," Kagome said cheerfully giving the older woman a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning Kagome," Kaede said, a little surprised by Kagome's cheerful mood. Her sapphire eyes were sparkling with a new light and she seemed so happy.
"Would ye like me to make you something?" Kaede asked it was only a little after ten and she knew Kagome normally slept in on Saturdays so hadn't made anything yet.
"Nope that's okay," Kagome shook her head as she opened the fridge door. She roamed the shelves with her eyes and they landed on a container full of fresh sliced fruit. She took it and happily pulled the lid off. She grabbed a fork and sat down at the island to eat.
She was dressed in a simple pair of jeans, a bright green tight t-shirt and a black zip up jacket. Her black hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, and her silver necklace hung around her neck like always.
"So how you been?" Kagome asked as she munched on the delicious mixed fruit.
"Quite well actually," Kaede smiled as she eased her old body into a seat across from Kagome. "Ye seem to be in a good mood this morning."
"Yeah well," Kagome blushed and stared down at her food. "I had a… interesting night." 'Of amazing sex with the man I love who happens to be incredibly sexy…' she added silently.
"I see," Kaede said, giving Kagome a knowing smile.
"You know don't you?" Kagome said with a groan and Kaede chuckled. "Were we that loud?!" Kagome asked mortified.
"Nay child," Kaede laughed. "Sango went to check on you last night and heard some rather interesting noises."
Kagome groaned and shoved her face into her hands. How embarrassing! She was going to kill Sango!
"Hey Kaggie," Speak of the devil.
"Sango!" Kagome shrieked jumping out of the chair to point an accusing finger at her. "Why are you telling people that?!"
"Oh relax Kagome," Sango said with a roll of her amused chocolate colored eyes. "It was only Kaede, and Ayame and Kouga a-"
"KOUGA?!" Kagome screamed. "You told Kouga that me and Inuyasha had sex?!"
"I was just kidding Kagome!" Sango started cracking up. "But he knows now!"
Confused Kagome turned around and seen, oh Kami no!, Kouga standing right there, looking like he had just walked in on a rooster trying to teach a pig to tap dance.
"Umm," was Kagome's intelligent reply as she stood there completely mortified to her very soul.
"Err I just came in for… but uhh… never mind," he quickly turned on his heel and left.
"Sooo…" Sango drawled eyeing Kagome up and down as she slumped back into her chair. "How was it?"
"Sango!" Kagome screeched. "You need to stop hanging around Miroku!"
"Oh never mind you don't have to tell me," Sango said brushing the Miroku comment off. "I heard enough last night… Who knew you were so promiscuous?!"
"I'm out of here," Kagome huffed and grabbed her bowl of fruit and left and Sango laughed as she watched her stomp away.
"I am so pleased to see her so happy," Kaede chuckled.
"Who?" Inuyasha asked coming into the kitchen, dressed in a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt with a golden swirl design on the front.
"Kagome," Sango answered her eyes gleaming mischievously.
"Keh," was all she got as he brushed past her to open the pantry.
"Inuyasha I can get that for ye if ye like," Kaede said, starting to get up out of her chair.
"Keh I got it o- er woman," Inuyasha cut himself off from saying old from the glare he got from said woman. "So where is Kagome anyway?"
"Oh she just left," Sango said with a chuckle.
"What's so funny?" he asked suspiciously.
"Oh nothing. Nothing at all," Sango waved it off innocently and Inuyasha just shrugged.
Hey sometimes it was best not to know!
-x-
"Stupid Sango," Kagome muttered half-heartedly as she made her way to the dojo. She had already, quite viciously actually, ate the rest of her fruit and decided to go ahead and practice. She had to be in at work by one, she had over fifty models she had to interview to hire for her show. It was definitely going to be a long day…
Kagome slid the dojo door open and stepped into the dojo. She was quite surprised when she seen Miroku sitting on a mat in the middle of the room meditating a pretty blue barrier around him. He looked so peaceful and relaxed. He was dressed in a pair of loose fitted jeans and a purple short-sleeved button up.
'Hmm I didn't realize Miroku had spiritual powers,' Kagome mused. She was going to leave but of course, being a klutz that she can be, she managed to trip over her own foot and lurched forward. She managed to catch herself but dropped her bowl and fork, it hit the floor with a loud clang!
Miroku jumped from the sudden noise and his bright blue eyes snapped open. He calmed down immediately at seeing Kagome and smiled at her.
"Good Morning Kagome," he said cheerfully.
"Good morning. I'm sorry Miroku I didn't mean to disturb you I was just l-"
"Oh no you didn't disturb me at all," he grinned. "I have been meaning to catch you in here anyway."
"Oh?" Kagome asked, picking up her bowl and fork and laying it by the entrance to pick up on her way out. "Why is that?"
"I have talked to Kaede," he answered. "She said you are having a little trouble with erecting and holding barriers."
"Oh yeah that," Kagome nodded solemnly as she dragged a mat over to place it a few feet in front of Miroku. "It seems I can't hold it for as long as I like."
"Hmm I can help you," He nodded.
"I didn't even know you had spiritual power," Kagome admitted.
"Oh really? You couldn't detect my aura?" Miroku inquired.
"Aura?" was the blank response.
"Has Kaede taught you anything?"
"Hai but I have been so busy with my career to really work on my miko powers. I mean I'm a crack shot at the bow and arrow but when it comes to using my full power I'm lost…"
"Well this shall be an interesting day," Miroku grinned.
"Hm what are you anyway?" Kagome wondered.
"I am a monk," he answered with a nod. Kagome stared blankly at him for a moment then burst out into laughter.
"You?! A monk?!" Kagome asked incredulously.
"Hey!" he cried out indignantly.
"Let me guess… you didn't go to the Monastery cause of your 'habits' right?"
"Well," Miroku rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Celibacy isn't something I'm too fond of…"
"Oh Miroku," Kagome laughed but then sobered up. "So tell me what to do oh great monk."
"Yes I shall teach all that I can young grasshopper," Miroku said with a mock bow and a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. Kagome giggled but got into the crossed legged position.
"I have to be out of here by one though," Kagome informed him.
"Alright. We can always continue whenever you want," he said. "Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. We will first work on erecting a barrier calmly, slowly before I show you how to do it instantly no matter how you feel."
"Okay I'm ready," Kagome nodded, closing her eyes as she sat in the classic meditating position. Miroku watched intently as Kagome pulled a light pink barrier around herself. It wasn't too big, just enough to protect her and wasn't really that powerful, but effective enough.
"Now Kagome you need to press more of your power out into the barrier." Miroku told her.
"How do I do that?"
"Do you feel the power inside you?" Kagome nodded. "Then will it out of your body and into your barrier."
A few moments passed and he seen her barrier darken slightly, indicating more power. He noticed her struggle however.
"Try thinking of something important. Something that you feel you need to protect," he said. "Picture whatever it is there with you, and something is trying to take it from you."
'Inuyasha!' Kagome thought. She pictured Naraku coming to kill her Inuyasha and she was the only one that could protect him. 'No! That bastard won't get him! He is mine damn it! I love him and no one will take him from me! I will protect you Inuyasha!'
Miroku watched as Kagome's face took on a determined look and was surprised how dark her barrier got. It went from a dull pink to a hot magenta and expanded enough to hold at least two people comfortably. He could feel the sheer power of her energy and was a little taken aback by how strong she really was.
"Incredible!" Miroku praised and, startled Kagome broke the barrier and stared at him. "Didn't you feel that?"
"Feel what?"
"Kagome your power spiked to very powerful height! I don't think anyone could have penetrated that barrier!" Miroku said, quit proud of her.
"Really?" she asked excitedly. She hadn't really felt anything besides a warm tingle all over her body; she was to focused on 'protecting' Inuyasha to notice anything else.
"What were you thinking of? What is it that you so desperately want to protect?" Miroku asked softly.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. "I want to protect Inuyasha and my friends."
"Just as I suspected," Miroku nodded and stood up. "Now come on I'm sure you don't know how to pull up barriers as you move."
Kagome stood up and looked at Miroku expectantly.
"Now we will engage in a little hand to hand combat," Miroku said standing in a fighting position. "Now when I come at you, use your power to block my shots."
"Hai," Kagome nodded, standing in her position. Miroku threw a few punches, and Kagome barely got a small barrier shield over her hand up to block.
"Pretend you are protecting Inuyasha." Miroku told her a few minutes later. "He is in danger and you are the only one that can save him. What are you going to do?"
With the he threw his fist again and again, Kagome barely blocked it.
'Is this how I am going to protect everyone? Pathetic. They would die! Come on Kagome get it together! Naraku is about to kill them DO something!' She screamed at herself. Miroku threw another punch and Kagome pulled up a whole dark pink shield in front of her body. He hit the shield and was tossed back a couple of feet.
"Excellent!" Miroku nodded. "That's how you do it! Now I'm going to show you how to do it while fighting back!"
Inuyasha quietly slid the dojo door closed and walked back toward the mansion.
'Keh I don't need protection,' Inuyasha thought. 'Kagome is the one that needs it. And I will be here to do it.'
He had seen how her barrier had suddenly gotten a lot darker and he felt a little uneasy with all the miko power she had emitted. Hearing her whisper his name like that after Miroku asked her what she was protecting sent a shiver down his spine. She said it like he was the most precious thing in the world… like she would give her very soul for him. Of course he would never let her do that. He would never let her endanger herself for his sake. Ever.
Inuyasha went up to his room to get his cell phone. He realized he had a voicemail and punched in the code to check it.
"Hanyou," came his brother's cool voice. "We found him."
Inuyasha's whole body flooded with relief as he listened.
"You better get here within a half hour or I shall leave without you." Click.
Inuyasha checked the time when he received the call and cursed. He only had fifteen minutes to get there! He quickly dashed out of his room and down the stairs.
"Inuyasha where-" Sango started to ask as the hanyou breezed by her.
"Tell Kagome I will call her later." Was all he said before he took off out the door, deciding he would get there faster if he ran.
"Okay…that was weird." Sango muttered and headed out to her own home.
-x-
Inuyasha quickly ran from building top to building top. He spotted his brother's silver Mercedes pulling out of the huge parking lot.
"Bastard really was going to leave me," he muttered as he jumped off the building and landed two feet away from the car.
The silver Mercedes speed up and he really thought his brother was going to hit him, but stopped two inches from crashing into his body.
"You are lucky," Sesshoumaru informed him as he slid into the leather seat.
"Keh your lucky you didn't hit me ass," Inuyasha retorted.
"If it was my intent to hit you, I would have." The older demon replied, turning onto the busy highway.
"Where the hell are we going anyway?" Inuyasha demanded.
"There is an abandoned house two hours from here. It was reported that this Kagura had been spotted there quite a few times. Naraku was seen just about an hour ago."
"Hour ago?! He could be long gone by now!" Inuyasha exploded.
"Calm yourself," Sesshoumaru snapped but instantly calmed himself. "I doubt that he will be gone, he has been there since his escape. He wouldn't just leave all of a sudden; he does not even know we are on our way."
"Keh you better hope he is still there," Inuyasha grumbled slouching in the leather seat with his arms crossed.
"You are more trouble than you are worth hanyou," Sesshoumaru said.
"You know I'm going to tell Rin if you don't stop calling me that," Inuyasha said nonchalantly. "After all when your pups are born they will, in fact, be hanyou."
"They however will not be worthless." Sesshoumaru sneered and Inuyasha just rolled his eyes. Sesshoumaru had long ago gotten over his hate of his half-brother. Old habits die hard apparently.
"How long till we get there?"
"Two hours."
"TWO FREAKIN HOURS?!"
Sesshoumaru resisted the urge to sigh… this was going to be a loooongg trip…
-x-
"Next," Kagome called out boredly. She was sitting in the audition room. It was a small room with a long wooden table that could sit four comfortably, with a stage directly in front of it. Kagome leaned back in her overstuffed chair and sighed. She had trained with Miroku for about an hour and a half before she decided to take another shower and head out.
She had gotten a call right before she left from Inuyasha. He had told her that he had something important to take care of with his brother, and to be careful while he was gone, and not to go anywhere alone.
She had been her for a good two hours now, and had already gone through about half the models. She had only picked about twelve so far, she needed six more.
"Kami this is taking forever," Kagome groaned to herself, rubbing her temples with her finger. A little short guy came on the stage with a huge smile on his face. He was cute but nowhere near tall enough to wear he designs. "Next," she automatically said. The short cute guy huffed and stomped off the stage, reminding her of Jakotsu…
"We need what? Six more?" Sango questioned beside her. Sango had gotten there about 45 minutes after she did.
"Hai and it's taking too long. I'm starving," Kagome whined and Sango chuckled.
"It's always food with you isn't it?"
"Not always…"
"Right. I almost forgot. Now its food and sex…"
"SANGO!!"
Sango busted up laughing as Kagome glared at her, face red from embarrassment. Sango couldn't help it… it was just so much fun to tease her!
"Let's just get this over with so I can leave," Kagome huffed as another guy came out. He had short brown hair and was really cute with big green eyes.
"Name?" Sango asked.
"Hiro," he answered in a deep voice. He was a well built, good height and cute!
"Walk for me Hiro," Kagome said giving him an encouraging smile. He showed her his walk and struck a pose.
"Excellent," Kagome nodded.
"Welcome aboard Hiro," Sango said.
"YESS!!" Hiro squealed, surprisingly girly for his manly looks. He skipped off stage with a huge grin on his face.
"Ok five more to go!" Sango said cheerfully and Kagome groaned. "Where are you going anyway?"
"To the orphanage."
"Orphanage?"
"Yeah the one that that kid Shippo is at. I feel really bad for not being able to take him out yet so I planned on stopping by for a visit."
"Kagome you can't go alone," Sango said.
"I'll be alright. It's during the day and the orphanage is actually not very far, it's in walking distance."
"How long of a walk?"
"Oh only a good five minutes, ten at the most."
"Kagome I really don't want you to walk alone," Sango said shaking her head.
"It's during the day Sango. And besides its close, there will be a lot of people and I have my phone on me if anything happens…"
"I don't know… Inuyasha said-"
"Sango," Kagome said exasperated. "It's only like a few blocks away. It's the middle of the day the whole city is out."
"Alright," Sango gave in. It's only a ten minute walk… what could go wrong? Especially with walking with a city this big and full of people. "But if you even feel like something is wrong you call me immediately!"
"Yes ma'am!" Kagome saluted and Sango rolled her chocolate eyes at her.
-x-
Inuyasha sniffed the air as he stood in the abandoned foyer of the house. It smelled of dust, musk and old wood. There was also a distinct smell of a spider demon; one that he assumed was Naraku. The place was empty, and by the smell had been for at least two or three hours. On the way they had gotten held up in a traffic jam, apparently there was an accident, and it had taken them a little over three hours to get there.
"Something is not right here," Sesshoumaru commented his gaze flickering over the room.
"Yeah like the fact that he ain't here for one," Inuyasha said walking into the living room.
It was just old furniture that looked like it hadn't been touched in years. Inuyasha sniffed the air, and followed his noise to where the smell was the strongest. It took him all the way to the back of the house. He stopped in front of an old door. The smell was coming from within. He eased open the door and it opened with a loud creak. Inuyasha noticed it was cement stair case leading into a basement.
He flicked the switch on the wall and descended the stairs. The room was pretty bare, except a full sized bed shoved off to the side. A large pallet sat in the middle of the room, and directly across from it against the wall sat a TV with a VCR on top of it. What was really disturbing was the wall on the other side of the room…
It was plastered with hundreds and hundreds of pictures of Kagome. Probably every picture of her ever taken in four years. Inuyasha examined the wall closely. He noticed the picture of him and Kagome from the restaurant, holding hands and smiling. There was a big red X through his face. There was also a picture of them from the charity auction, his arm wrapped around Kagome's shoulders, her holding his hand. Again there was a big X through his face. Pictures of them after their arcade date and all with X's over Inuyasha's face.
What really got him was the other pictures… Pictures of him leaving Kagome's work. Pictures of him leaving and arriving at Kagome's mansion. Pictures of him and Miroku when they were at the sushi bar, of him running carrying Kagome back home after they found her almost about to die, of Inuyasha going and leaving from his visits with his brother.
There was also pictures of Kouga and Ayame, at some run down old house. They were both leaving heading for their car. There were pictures of Sango, walking through a parking lot, a parking lot he recognized as the one from Kagome's work building. There were several of her, alone, walking with Kagome, and even ones of her and Miroku. Miroku had the same thing, pictures of him talking on his cell walking towards his car and such. There was also pictures of Kaede, carrying groceries to her car, and even Keiji! What surprised him the most was the pictures of Sesshoumaru and Rin.
"What the hell…?" Inuyasha muttered staring at all the pictures. Why did Naraku have all these pictures… what exactly was he planning?! Had someone really been spying on them this whole time and no one even knew it?!
"Inuyasha," Sesshoumaru said emotionlessly behind him. He spun around and seen Sesshoumaru holding a black tape.
"Do you see this shit? You and Rin are on here to," Inuyasha said pointing a finger at the wall of pictures behind him. He seen his brother's eyes flash red but quickly faded.
"I found this in the kitchen upstairs. It has your name on it," Sesshoumaru said holding the tape out. Inuyasha eyes widened as he seen that indeed his name was written in black marker.
Inuyasha dashed over to the TV and turned it on and slid the tape in. A face appeared on the TV. He had long black hair, and piercing blood red eyes. He was actually handsome but his cruel smirk made him look ugly. Inuyasha knew it had to be Naraku.
"Well, well, well," Naraku chuckled. "If you are watching this tape, Inuyasha that means that you were fooled. Did you actually think that I did not notice your brother's people watching me?"
Inuyasha growled. So! He had known all along!
"Of course this also means that I am long gone," Naraku continued casually. "I also assume your brother is with you?" he paused like he was expecting and answer and Sesshoumaru growled. Naraku chuckled like he had heard him.
"Well I shall not keep you any longer," Naraku said like he was having a cheerful chat to some friends. "I will, however I have one more thing to say. How will you protect them, if you are not there?" Naraku chuckled darkly again.
"Them?" Inuyasha echoed. What did he mean them? Wasn't he just after Kagome?!
"Oh and congratulation Sesshoumaru. I am sure your pups will be quite cute," This time Naraku gave a full blown laugh and then the screen went black.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened and he quickly took out his cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Father, where is Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Rin? I'm not to sure I think she just went out for a walk a little while ago…"
"Go get her. NOW!"
"What's wrong son?!" Inutashio asked, fully alerted by the tone of his son's voice. He quickly got up from behind his desk and took off to find his daughter- in-law.
"She is in danger father. You must find her immediately. I will explain later. Call me when you find her."
With that Sesshoumaru hung up and turned to Inuyasha. "Let's go we must hurry and get back."
"Hai," Inuyasha said and they both ran out and made it to the car in a matter of seconds.
Inuyasha took out his phone and dialed Kagome's number. She picked up on the third ring.
"Yes Inuyasha?"
"Kagome!" he said relieved that she was ok.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked worriedly.
"Nothing. Where are you?"
"I'm out…"
"Where?"
"Walking to Shippo's orphanage…"
"You're walking?! All alone?!"
"It was only five minutes away!" Kagome defended.
"Kagome when you get there do not leave. Do you understand me? I will have someone come and get you."
"Inuyasha you're scaring me… what's wrong?"
"Just trust me okay Kagome? Do not go anywhere. I will explain when I get there."
"Alright Inuyasha… Be careful."
"Hai I will. Stay safe." Inuyasha said and closed his phone.
They drove away and onto the busy highway.
"Why is Rin a target?" Inuyasha asked confused. "I don't get it."
"Because I was watching him that is why," Sesshoumaru growled.
"There must be something more. He had all those pictures down there. He has been stalking everyone since he got out!"
"Perhaps he is making his point to Kagome. Hurting anyone and everyone that is a friend or family."
Inuyasha's eyes widened. How stupid could he have been? Of course he would hurt everyone around or close to Kagome! He wanted Kagome, he wouldn't try to kill her… he would want to break her. Make her isolated, depressed and helpless.
Sesshoumaru sped down the highway, doing well over the speed limit as he raced home. He easily maneuvered in and out of traffic. Suddenly his cell phone went off and he quickly answered it.
"Where is she?" he demanded.
"Sesshoumaru we found her but…"
"But?! But what?!" He roared.
"She is at the hospital. When I got here there was a woman attacking her. She left as soon as she seen me."
"Attacking her?! Is she alright?! Will she live?!" Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha seen more emotion then he ever had with his brother. He seen panic, anger, worry and desperation in his eyes.
"I don't know son. I got her to the hospital as fast as I could. I'm waiting now. She is in surgery."
"Surgery? The pups… are they okay?!"
"I'm not sure. She was a mess when I found her i-" Inutashio stopped himself, the tears forming in the back of his eyes once again. He couldn't talk about it anymore, he was close to sobbing.
"I will be there soon," Sesshoumaru said quietly and hung up the phone. He looked like his normal emotionless self but inside he was enraged. He was worried and angry. Angry at Naraku… and angry at himself for not protecting her.
'Rin please be okay,' Sesshoumaru prayed in his head, unknowingly mirroring his brother's thoughts.
-x-
Kagome walked into the Okiwato Orphanage. She entered the small room where an old woman sat behind a desk.
"Can I help you?" She asked in slightly snotty tone.
"Yes I am here to see Shippo. Akashi, Shippo." Kagome answered.
"Hai just through those doors and up the stairs." She nodded curtly.
Kagome walked through the big doors and stepped into what appeared to be a small cafeteria. Long tables with benches decorated the room. She spotted the stairs directly toward her right and walked up the stairs. She was greeted with a long hallway and she followed it. She walked through what seemed to be a game room and down to another hallway. Two doors were on the left and two to here right. She paused to listen, to see if she could hear anything.
She heard a thud and a some kids snickering.
"Ha look at the little rat boy!" came a little boys voice laughing.
"I'm not a rat!" cried out another little boy. The was a splashing sound and a round of laughter.
"Now you're a wet rat!" Another little boy cried out laughing.
"Leave me alone!"
"Oh rat boy is standing up for himself huh?"
"Hai come on boys! Let's teach rat boy a lesson!"
Then there was a chorus of "Yeah!" and Kagome couldn't take it anymore! She flung open the door highly pissed off. There were four kids about twelve surrounding a small boy about seven. One of the boys had the little one by the scruff of the neck and had his fist in mid air as he stared at Kagome in surprise. She recognized the little red headed boy as Shippo.
"Drop him," Kagome demanded and the kid dropped poor Shippo. He fell to the floor with a thud and scrambled away from them. He ran over and hid behind Kagome's legs. "You should be ashamed of yourself!" Kagome scolded the four older boys. "Picking on an innocent child who is a lot smaller than you! You're lucky I don't box your ears in you little brats!"
"Hey witch! Don't call us brats!" the ringleader snarled at her.
"Then stop acting like one! How shameful of you!" Kagome retorted back and the boy turned red, whether from embarrassment or anger she didn't know or care. Then she turned to the snickering boys behind him. "And you!" they instantly stopped laughing and stared at her. "Don't even be laughing because you're acting just as bad! How dare you! How would you like it if I came over there and beat you up? Stop being mean little punks and grow up!"
All four of them stared at the floor with guilty looks on their faces.
"What is going on here?" the woman from downstairs demanded as she entered the room.
"They," Kagome pointed at them, "were verbally abusing Shippo and were about to beat him up! You better do something to ensure this does not happen again!"
"Well I never!" The woman exclaimed angrily. "Do not come into my orphanage and order me around! Shippo is a very troublesome boy and probably deserved it!"
Kagome's blood ran cold at the woman's cruel words. She grabbed Shippo's hand and glared at the woman. "Well then I have no choice but to take Shippo with me then. I cannot leave him somewhere where cruel people are allowing innocents to be hurt."
Kagome brushed past the woman but she grabbed Kagome's arm painfully. "You can't just take him! He isn't going anywhere with you!" she hissed.
"If you do not let go of my arm I will personally snap yours into a million pieces," Kagome hissed back coldly. The woman let go of her arm instantly. "Now I suggest you move out of my way before I get this place shut down so fast you won't even know what hit you."
"Yeah right," the woman scoffed. "Like you have that power."
"Actually I do," Kagome smirked. "I have more than enough money to shut this place down and to put you out of work for the rest of your life. After I get to the press no one will ever hire you for anything ever again. One of the perks of being a celebrity."
"Y-Your Higurashi, Kagome aren't you?"
"Damn straight I am."
"I am so s-sorry ma'am. Of course you may take little Shippo. You may do as you please." The woman stepped out of Kagome's way and Kagome gave her a smug smirk.
Then she looked down into the wide green eyes of the child beside her and beamed at him. "How would you like to come stay with me for awhile Shippo?"
"Really?" he asked in awe. "You mean I get to come stay with you at your mansion?!"
"That's right!" Kagome laughed. "I have a huge game room that you might like! Plus I have an outdoor and indoor pool!"
"Awesome!" Shipp cheered and Kagome was happy to be the one to put the smile on his face.
"Alright go get your things," Kagome instructed him and he ran over to the little bed and dresser across the room. The four older kids looked at Shippo jealously and Kagome snorted mentally.
'Serves them right,' she thought as she watched Shippo zip around the room to gather his things. He only had a couple of shirts and a few pairs of jeans along with a spinning top toy.
"This is all your stuff?" Kagome questioned.
"Hai it was all they would give me…" Shippo said sadly. The woman glared at him but quickly look elsewhere when Kagome glanced at her.
"Well you know what? How about you throw away whatever you don't want and I will take you shopping?" Kagome asked and Shippo beamed at her showing his little fangs and threw all his clothes into a trash bin. The only thing he kept was the small top toy.
"Let's go," Kagome said and grabbed his hand and they left, leaving five jealous people behind.
Kagome was standing at the front door when her cell started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kags," Kouga said.
"Hey Kouga what's up?"
"Inuyasha asked me to pick you up. I'm right outside."
"Okay I'm coming out right now," Kagome hung up her phone and stuffed back into her purse.
Kagome walked outside and spotted Kouga in his black car. She quickly crossed the street with Shippo and opened the back door for him. He climbed in happily and put his seat belt on. Kagome smiled at him as she closed his door and got into the passenger seat.
"Who's the kid?" Kouga asked.
"Kouga this is Shippo. He is going to be staying with me for a little while. Shippo this is Kouga he is head of security at my house." Kagome introduced.
"What's up kid?" Kouga asked flashing him a grin through the rearview mirror as he drove off.
"Wow are you really the head of security?!" Shippo asked with huge eyes.
"Yup sure am," Kouga chuckled.
"So you want to go shopping Shippo?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah!" Shippo cheered.
"Shopping? Are you kidding me?" Kouga groaned. "Do I look like a damn chauffer to you?"
"Watch your language Kouga!" Kagome laughed and punched him in the arm.
"Whatever," he grumbled and sped off to the nearest mall.
-x-
"So how old are you Shippo?" Kagome asked as she browsed through the wrack of children's clothes.
"Seven," he answered standing beside her. "I'm going to be eight Wednesday."
"Really?" Kagome asked excitedly.
"Yup!" he said proudly.
"Well I guess someone needs a birthday party! I mean after all you only turn eight once right?" Kagome quirked a brow up at him.
"Am I really going to get a birthday party?!" Shippo asked with huge bright green eyes.
"Haven't you ever had a birthday party before?"
"No…" Shippo said and stared at his feet.
"Shippo can I ask you something?" Kagome asked softly, kneeling down to get eye level with him.
"Hai."
"W-what happened to your parents?"
"They died," Shippo said sadly. "When I was only three. They were killed by a gang called the Thunder Brothers."
Shippo looked up at her and could smell the tears that were hidden behind her eyes.
"Oh I didn't mean to make you cry Kagome! I don't even remember them," Shippo said guiltily. He didn't mean to make her cry!
"It's alright Shippo it's not your fault," Kagome whispered and gave him a hug. Shippo hugged her back happily… it was the first hug he had in years.
"Come on Shippo! We got shopping to do!" Kagome giggled and with a huge smile on his face they both continued shopping.
An hour and a half later, and about 50 bags later they were heading to Kouga's car when Kagome's cell went off.
Kouga grumbled as he stumbled to the car, buried in a million shopping bags. He opened the trunk and stuffed as much as he could and fit the rest in the back seat, making sure to leave enough room for Shippo to squeeze in.
"Hello?" Kagome answered her phone as she got into the passenger seat, making sure that Shippo got in first.
"Kagome…" came Inuyasha's voice. Instantly she knew something was wrong.
"What is it?" Kagome asked almost fearfully.
"It..its Rin."
"Rin? What happened? Is she alright?!" Kagome panicked.
"No she is at the hospital… Naraku had someone attack her…"
The blood drained from Kagome's face.
"I will be right there." Kagome whispered choking down her tears as she hung up the phone.
"What's wrong Kags?" Kouga asked as he slipped into the car.
"I need you to take me to the hospital." Kagome said. "My friend Rin she is hurt."
Kouga said nothing as he sped off toward the hospital.
'What have I done?' Kagome though as she squeezed her eyes shut. 'This is all my fault… why would he attack her? Please Rin be alright…'
