Chapter 13

He had just finished putting the young girl had had grown to love to bed. He knew that he would make her his if he was not forced to make that miko hanyou his mate. Although he knew that he could and would grow in power just by making her his mate, he did not want to harm in brother in such a way. He would not lower himself to that just for power. He had more honor then that. Just as he had reached the main court yard, where he would not be disturbed, the full blooded inu demon took in a deep breath as he heard his mother's voice say, "You must go after her as well my son."

"What for mother? She will be found by the humans that she wished to see die. I owe nothing to that miko hanyou." He growled.

"You will not take that tone f voice with me Sesshomaru." She growled. "You may be a lord but I am and will forever be your mother."

"Forgive me." Sesshomaru growled in a cold emotionless voice.

"I will stay and look after your human child and you will go and look for that girl. Bring her back and make her yours. She is the key to make you strong then any demon, even without the shikon no tama you will be unstoppable." She ordered.

"Mother, I will not take the only happiness my brother has." Sesshomaru growled.

With a grin on her face, Lilith locked eyes with her son and said, "Did he not love another before this girl? If so I can bring this dead miko back from the dead and you may have the miko hanyou. You are a much better fit for that power then your hanyou brother will ever be."

"I will not lower myself to a common demon and force a female, hanyou never the less, to become my mate against her will." Sesshomaru growled.

"If she becomes your mate she will be able to make that human child into a demon like you, then you will be able to leave her and keep the child so love so much." Lilith went on.

"Enough!" Sesshomaru growled out in anger as his eyes flashed red.

"However if you do not, I will make sure that that child will end up falling in love with the lowest of demons." Lilith growled back with her own anger.

Not wanting to tempt his mother to keep his word, Sesshomaru turned his back to her as he growled back, "I will return with a mate soon. If I find just one hair missing you will regret crossing me…my mother or not you will pay."

"You have my word that I will not harm her until you return to convince me otherwise." She answered with a grin on her face.

Having nothing more to say, Sesshomaru transformed into a ball of light as he began to make his way to find the miko hanyou that he was sure many would have started looking for by now. He knew that he would later regret it but for now, he could only hope that his brother would find her before it was too late, before he would have to make her his and claim her as his until Rin come become his mate. 'Forgive me brother, but I cannot let any harm come to Rin, not when she had nothing to do with this…' Sesshomaru thought as he began to make his way to the wolf tribe hoping that the jewel shards that wolf had would lore the miko hanyou to him.

It had been hours since her son had left the lands and she had only just finished taking care of the things that she was expect to do while he was gone and she in his place. Just as she had began to walk Rin to the gardens so that the child could play, they were stopped by a guard. Knowing that her son would keep his word, she let out a low growl when the guard got to close to Rin before asking, "What is it you need? Did I not finish with what my son had left me for today."

"I'm sorry my lady but there are some humans asking for you, they had a document containing Lord Inuyasha's scent and writing." The guard answered.

"Ummm….let them in and bring them to us. We will be waiting at the south garden." Lilith ordered.

"Yes my lady." He answered as he turned to leave.

"Oh, and guard…" Lilith called out as she allowed Rin to go up ahead of her.

"Yes my lady?" he answered.

"Do not keep me waiting." She growled before turning her back to him and taking her leave.

"I understand." He replied before running off to get the guest.

'So…the hanyou sent them here…well it would seem that I will have to have some rooms prepared…my son best get that girl.' Lilith thought as she called for a maid so that she could have the room arranged.

Rin looked at the inu demon and asked, "What is going on? Rin wants to go play?"

"I'm sorry dear; I just needed to ask the maid to get some rooms ready. We're going to be having some visitors and I don't want them to stay in the village." Lilith answered in a gentle voice. Even if she was cold toward her son that did not mean that she would be cold toward an innocent human child. She was just not that evil.

"Will Rin get to play with Shippo?"

"Of course my dear; now come, they'll be meeting us at the garden." She answered as she reached for the child's hand to lead the way.

It hadn't take long for them to be let in. when they had been told that they would meet with the lady of the house, Miroku and Sango looked at each other with confused eyes before realizing what the meant. Shippo, having no idea as to what was going on, looked at the two before shrugging his shoulders and waiting to be taken to Rin so that he and she could play while the adults talked. He believed in his father and knew if anyone could get his Oka back it would be his father. Just as they had reached the gardens, the guard looked at the four and said, "The lady will be waiting for you down this path. Do not go anywhere else."

"We won't." Kohaku answered.

"Thank you." Miroku added.

"Come on Shippo, I'm sure Rin has been lonely." Sango stated as she began to walk up ahead. 'if she sent Sesshomaru after my friend I'm going to kill her.'

"Sister?" Kohaku's worried voice was heard.

"I'm fine Kohaku, just tired." Sango stated.

"then I'm sorry to tell you that your room are not ready for you." Lilith was heard as she stayed calm while Rin continued to place flowers in her hair.

"Rin!" Shippo cried with joy.

"Shippo! Let's go play." Rin cried as she jumped out of the demon's lap and ran into the garden.

"Stay close." Lilith growled out in a stern voice.

"Who would have thought that you could be so nice?" Sango hissed.

"Kohaku, can you go and keep an eye on them?" Miroku asked as he tried to get the boy out of view so that he wouldn't have to see Sango's anger and sadness.

"Sure, just call me if my sister needs me." Kohaku stated before running after the two children.

"I was once a mother and I know enough when to keep my anger toward the right humans. A human child is innocent and out of the question. I am not dishonorable." Lilith growled out in anger.

"Excuse me but where is Lord Sesshomaru?" Miroku was heard before Sango could say anything else.

"He had to step out; he has me watching over the lands and the child while he is away." Lilith answered in a calm voice.

"If I may ask, what is it that he had to go and do?" Miroku asked as he tired to keep his future wife calm.

"I have no idea." She answered with a grin on her face.

"Lair!" Sango yelled out in anger as Kirara let out a low growl.

"Watch your tone." Lilith growled as her demonic aura began to grow.

"You sent him after her didn't you? You want him to take her…when she already loves Inuyasha. They have been through enough for you to try and pull them further apart!" Sango cried out in fury.

Before the inu demon could get a chance to attack the demon slayer before her, she was forced to take a step back as the two tailed demon cat transformed while the monk before her began to let his spiritual power place her in a barrier/seal. 'Impressive…that girl made it so that I was awaken…I am no longer immune to monk or miko's…she is powerful.'

"I suggest you keep your hands off of my wife." Miroku stated in a cold voice.

"Miroku." Sango whispered as she tried to hide her tears.

"Very well then, however she has no right to be questioning me like she has, I demand an apology monk." Lilith growled thinking that he would make his woman apologize.

Miroku glared at the demon and stated, "I have no reason to do such a thing because I also do not agree with what you have done. However I will not voice it because I refuse to start a fight when there are children nearby and while the true lord of the lands is not here."

"How dare you." Lilith growled as she stood up.

"I would watch it if I were you." Sango hissed.

"My barrier will not lower until you have no intention of harming us. It will also reform should you try to harm us again." Miroku explained.

"I will keep my word, I will not harm you now let me free." She growled in anger.

Once the barrier had been lowered, Lilith glared at the two before taking her leave. She knew that they would not anything happen to Rin since it seem as if they also had a deep caring for the girl. Once she had left, Sango turned to Miroku and said, "I'm sorry I got you involved but I was just so upset…I can't believe she had him go after her."

"What do you think?" Miroku asked.

"I think that she threatened Sesshomaru somehow. But I have no idea what she could have told him that got him to leave to go in search of Kagome." Sango stated.

"Do you really think he will go through with it?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know…if she used Rin against him then I'm sure that he will, he will mark her and once he is able to, he will leave Kagome and take Rin as his true mate." Sango answered.

"Is that even possible?" Miroku asked.

Sango turned to face her husband, even though they were not yet married, she still saw him as such, and said, "I have lots to teach you about demon laws and the way they live."

"Indeed you do." Miroku answered.

Before Sango could even start to explain things to him, Kohaku, Shippo, and Rin came running toward them with smiles on their faces. Kohaku had heard Kirara low growl and knew that something had happened but when he found his sister smiling and laughing with the monk that would soon become his brother-in-law, he couldn't help but smile. He was glad that she had found happiness and was glad that she would remain happy. Just as they had reached them, Shippo jumped up and said, "Can we go and play in the village? I want to see the village my Otu grew up in."

"I'll go with them." Kohaku stated.

"Is Rin really going with you two as well?" Miroku asked.

"Rin wants to go too; Rin has never been let out of the castle unless it was to travel with Lord Sesshomaru."

"Then I guess we'll go with you, I need to find my kimono for the wedding anyway." Sango stated with a smile on her face.

"I suggest you go with Rin, I'm sure she would like a new kimono as well." Miroku stated.

"Rin doesn't need a kimono, Lord Sesshomaru gave Rin one when we returned."

"Can I have some candy?" Shippo asked in a sweet voice.

"Rin knows where to get good candy…but Lord Sesshomaru is not here." She stated in a defeated voice.

"I'm sure Lady Lilith will give you some money if you ask nicely." Kohaku stated.

"I will go ask, will Kohaku and Shippo come with me?" Rin asked as she began to speak the way Kagome had taught her to.

"She misses her as well." Miroku whispered.

"We all do." Sango replied as she turned around to face him. "We all miss her and there is nothing we can do but wait and pray that she will get her memories of us when she sees Inuyasha."

"Trust me my love; I have been praying since Kagome left us." Miroku whispered as he wrapped his arms around her.

She had just reached a nearby river and was tired. She was covered with blood, most of which was not her own, and was drained of all her miko energy. All the demon that had attacked her, though that she carried the shikon jewel and when they found that it was her power alone had tried to claim her. She was not available and knew it, she belonged to him and him alone, and it had been the price she paid to become what she was. 'If only I could remember who I was or who my friends were…were they really my friends or the enemy?' she couldn't help but think as she rest a bit by the water.

Just as she had finished resting, the inu hanyou sniffed the air before drawing her claws. She knew that she was about to get more unwanted males but that didn't mean that she was going to not going to kill them just because they were stupid. Inu demon mated for life, even if she was just half, she would stick by it, she would not be disloyal to her intended, if she could find him. 'Great, I'm almost drained…I need to get out of here.' She thought as she jumped up into the trees and began to run as fast as she could.

She had been drained for some while and just needed three different herbs to make a drink that would give her, her miko powers back. That's if she could find it before she was attacked. Just as she was about to defend herself, she was pulled out of the incoming attack as she heard a familiar, yet unknown voice to her growl out, "Kagome why the hell aren't' you with the mutt?"

Not liking that she was being held so affectionately, Kagome pushed the wolf demon away from her and jumped over the demon that had attacked her. Before Koga could ask what the hell had happened to her, he moved out of the way as he heard her yell out, "Move!"

Just as she had yelled that out, Koga jumped out of the way as the demon that had been behind him missed him only to charge at the inu hanyou that he had now noticed. To confuse to wonder why he had thought this hanyou had been Kagome, Koga turned around to kill the demon that had attacked him only to watch the hanyou get thrown back as the demon ran his arm straight through her.

Just as Koga was about to run forward to help the inu hanyou that had entered his lands, he watched as she dug her claws into the demon. With the last strength she had, with the last miko energy she had, Kagome purified the demon that had wounded her before falling to one knee as blood began to pour out of her like a raging river.

As she held on to her wound, Kagome looked up to face the wolf prince and said, "Koga…I need…to talk…to you."

"Kagome!" Koga growled out as he tried to get to her while finishing off the demons that had started to surround her.

'Get up…we made a promise…get up.' Her inner demon growled.

'I can't…it hurts…god it hurts.' Her human part cried out.

'Get up…we cannot die…not until we tell him…' her inner demon growled as he fought for control.

'I suggest you calm yourself…we will keep our promise and we will find him…if only to get our memories back.' Her miko blood stated as she began to heal the wound that had been created.

'I…want to fight.' She growled.

'No…no…I just want him…I want…Inuyasha…Inuyasha.' her human half called out as she began to pass out.

'I need more energy…the jewel shards…we need the jewel shards.' the miko part stated as she tried to heal without pushing herself to much.

'How close do we need to be…' the demon growled as she began to take control.

But just as she was about to, she was stopped by the human half. She refused to transform and she would fight for control. Even if it meant that she would have to feel everything. Once she was sure she would be able to push herself up, Kagome opened her eyes only to find herself in the arms of the full blooded demon that had been there when she had woken up. His aura seemed familiar; it was very similar to the one she was looking for. Whether it was because of the pain she was trying to ignore or because of her blood lose, Kagome felt safe, she felt as if she had finally found who she was looking for. She looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here? What…took you…so long?" before passing out in his arms.

The wolf prince landed a few feet in front of the inu demon before him and growled out, "Put her down…she's mine."

Sesshomaru locked eyes with the wolf demon before him and growled out, "I don't think so. This miko belongs to me now." as he bared his fangs as the wolf prince.

A/N: please let me know what you think…REIVEW!!!!
