Sesshomaru and I hurried to the palace after destroying the barrier. We followed the screams of the servants and saw Donmaru with a girl, the Lord's daughter.
"Donmaru? You're the demon," I asked suprised.
"Hmm, looks like you figured it out, wench. Sadly, you're too late!" Donmaru threw the Lord's daughter aside and attacked me, only to be blocked by Sesshomaru. I usex that chance to shoot an arrow at him but he moved just in time for it to miss.
"I told the lord to summon you for this purpose, Miko. To see how strong you are and have yet to become. You'll make a fine wife."
"Wife? I'm already engaged to someone! And even if I weren't you wouldn't even make the list!" I shot another arrow at him and this time it hit him.
"I got him!" The arrow glowed before lighting the room and dispersing. Donmaru was still standing, however, and had a dark expression on his face.
"Engaged? You are already engaged?" I stepped back a bit as his demonic aura emanated from his body. Sesshomaru stood in front of me and drew his sword.
"Sesshomaru-"
"Go find Inuyasha and your friends. I'll deal with him." I was going to argue but heard InuYasha's yell of pain. I looked at the door and then to Sesshomaru.
"Be careful, there's something weird about this guy," I told him. He huffed at me and looked to the enemy.
"I don't need advice from a human." I glared slightly at him before leaving.
Can he just be nice for once?
Sesshomaru
When she left the head servant tried to attack her.
"You're not going anywhere!" He drew a sword of his own and went after her. I blocked him off and he sent me a crazed glare.
"Don't get in my way!" He grabbed my arm and I felt my body pulse before I flew backwards through a wall. I tried to move but my body wouldn't comply. The head servant stood over me and lifted his sword.
"If your the one that is trying to take my priestess then die!" I was about to dodge but the demon stopped when an arrow hit his heart and he burst into particles of light. I saw Kagome with her bow still lifted.
"Humans are good for somethings," she said.
Kagome
We were thanked continuously by the Lord of the palace. After destroying the barrier, Donmaru showed his true demon form and was slain by InuYasha. Sango, InuYasha and Kohaku were paid equally but I was paid more than them, which made them slightly jealous. We said our goodbyes to them and they sent us away with food. Sango left with Kohaku and Kirara to get her weapon fixed, it was cracked during our fight with Domaru, while InuYasha, Rin, Sesshomaru, and I went back to our home. I was on InuYasha's back and Rin was on Sesshomaru's. We glided through the air and I couldn't help but think of my past with InuYasha. From when I first shot an arrow, breaking the Shikon no Tama, to now, going home with him.
I watched Sesshomaru and Rin, sort of jealous of there relationship. They remind me of my with Shippo in a way. I missed the little fox demon more than anything and wanted him to come back, but I also want him to be strong and make friends his age. Rin has to do the same, but its hard for her which is why I decided to help her. The only children she will play with are the twins, for now.
"Kagome," InuYasha whispered, "meet me tonight by the tree. You know the one." I stared at him for a moment but nodded my head at him.
We made it back to Kaede's and I was immediately greeted by the twins.
"Aunt Kagome, look what we did," they exclaimed before showing me a bowl with green paste in it.
"We thought you would be injured so we made this for you." I crouched down to they're level and smiled.
"Thank you, you did a good job," I told them. They're eyes sparkled at the compliment and they ran off again to help Kaede with the herbs and Rin went with them. A wave of exhaustion hit me but I tried to ignore it and went back to the hut. Just as I stepped foot inside, Kaede called for me.
"Kagome, I know you've just only returned but can ye fetch water for this old woman? I could barely lift it earlier."
"Sure, it's no problem." I picked up a bucket and grabbed the stick before going to the river.
"Where are you going?"
"Huh?" I looked around and couldn't find InuYasha. Then he suddenly jumped down from a tree in front of me, scaring me.
"I asked where you were going."
"You just scared me you jerk! And if you insist on knowing, I'm going to get water for Kaede."
"Get water? Won't that be too heavy to carry all by yourself?"
"Are you trying to call me weak," I asked calmly but coldly.
"You know what I meant! Don't try to make me seem like the bad guy here!"
"If you would be more clear with your feelings then I wouldn't get mad." I turned around with my nose in the air and walked away from him.
InuYasha followed me back with both buckets filled with water. When we gave them to Kaede he went off somewhere. I used that opportunity to wander off as well. I told Kaede that I'd be back and went into the forest. After a few minutes I found myself at the well.
This is where it all started. When my life changed out of no where!
Homesickness washed over me as I thought of my family. My mom, grandpa, and Sota. Before the well stopped working, I could send letters to my time and she could send letters back. Now, I haven't tried writing her back since I've been here, however. I wonder if it would be possible.
InuYasha
I raced through the forest and followed her scent to find her. Kaede said Kagome went for a walk by herself and hadn't come back.
Did she go to the tree early?
When her scent became stronger, it was mixed with someone elses, a very annoying full breed at that. Whdn I found them, I saw Sesshomaru sitting against a tree while Rin is picking up herbs and Kagome sleeping in the tree peacefully. I paused and stayed hidden as I looked at her. The light from the sun captured her perfectly and the wimd blew her hair gently.
"Why are you hiding, foolish little brother?" I glared at Sesshomaru for interrupting my thoughts, and my life.
"I ain't hiding! I don't know what you're talkin about."
"Instead of wondering off, you need to be protecting her. Even though she's gained power, she can barely control it. Not only that, anyone could have killed her."
"Why you- I know that already! Just butt out okay!" He scoffed and turned his attention back to Rin, which pissed me off even more.
"I don't know why she chose you over the future," he said, "honestly she'd be better off." I attacked him right then but he moved out of the way quickly.
"No body wants your opinions, Sesshomaru. Why don't you leave like you usually do!"
"So long as I have purpose here, I won't leave." I drew Tensaiga and attacked again but he stopped it with his hand. And I struggled to pull the blade free.
"I don't not wish to fight you, InuYasha, however, you drew your sword at me with no intent to kill. I will not be held responsible for your demise."
"There you go with your cocky attitude again! You make me sick, you bastard. Stop pretending you above it all." I managed to pull free and cut him deep in the process. I attacked relentlessly, not letting up. Soon, I got fed up and decided to use the swords power.
"Kongōsōha!" Adamant flew from tensaiga and hit Sesshomaru but he stood unphased by the wounds and sent an attack of his own with his venomous finger whip. It was pissing me off that he wasn't using his full power at all.
"Why don't you use your sword," I yelled out.
"Because, if I do you will die and the miko behind you will be angered and saddened." I scoffed at him and prepared my next attack.
"I didn't know you cared so much!" I swung the sword at him continuously and occasionally used the adamant power against him. I got careless, however, and he managed to hit me with his whip on the hand. I dropped the sword in shock and pain and the poison burned my skin. He kicked the sword away and punched me, making me fall.
"You're not worth my power, InuYasha. I won't recklessly use my sword as you do."
"Why you-" I punched him and dug my nails into the wound on my hand.
"Blades of blood!" He dodged the attack and made an attack of his own. As we both attacked, a tiny voice called out to us.
"Stop it!" Rin rushed in the way but neither of us could stop. Suddenly, just as we were almost to each other, a bright light shoned and knocked us away from Rin.
