Chapter 15

Once she had reached the village she was looked at with confusion but not fear. By the looks they giving her she were accepted in this village. After taking a deep breath, she walked up to what seemed like to be the village headman and said, "I need to speak with the priestess here…where can I find her?"

"Priestess Kaede is in the herb flied…do you need help finding the way." He answered.

"No, I'll find her myself…thank you." Kagome answered before taking her leave. 'She knows h how I can get home, she knows what I must do. I must find her and ask, I must leave and rest, before coming back for him.'

Just as she had reached the clearing where Kaede was with the village children, Kagome found herself smiling. Knowing that the children would not fear her, Kagome landed next to the old miko and said, "I know you know where I come from, where can I go to go home. I wish to go home."

"Kagome, ye are back? Where are the other?" Kaede answered as she turned to miko inu hanyou only to freeze.

"You speak as if you know me yet I do not remember you." Kagome growled in anger. "Now tell me, which way do I go if I wish to go to my home?"

"Ye do not remember me child?" Kaede asked in a calm voice.

"It is as I said, I do not." Kagome answered in a calm voice. "I wish to go home, now direct me the path and I will leave your village in peace."

"Be warned child, now is not the time to return to you time. Ye are not ready, ye does not even remember ye mother." Kaede replied.

"What I want is to go home." Kagome growled back as she began to feel weak. 'What's happening?'

"Are ye alright child?" Kaede asked in a worried voice.

"Stay away." Kagome growled.

"How I wish my son had not grown soft. Come with me child, I can help." The familiar voice was heard.

Kaede quickly lifted her bow while reaching for an arrow before saying, "Name ye self or leave."

"Lady Lilith…mother of the Lord of the west." Kagome growled out in pain as she fell to one knee. "Leave before I kill you."

"What reason have a given you to kill me girl? Or have you remember what I have done?" Lilith mocked.

"Ye will not be warned again." Kaede spoke.

"I suggest you leave miko, before I am forced to kill you." Lilith growled.

"Run miko, I can take care of myself." Kagome stated as she forced herself to stand up.

"Ye will only get hurt child." Kaede answered.

"I said leave." Kagome growled.

"Yes, do leave; I have much to speak with this girl." Lilith growled.

"I do not wish to listen to your words." Kagome growled before taking a step forward in challenge.

"then I will make you listen." Lilith growled.

Kagome howled in pain as she fell to her knees in pure pain. She had no idea where this pain was coming from, it was in her veins, forcing her to her knees and she had no way of stopping it since it was not poison she could easily purify. As she took in deep breath, Lilith walked over to the miko inu hanyou as she said, "Foolish girl, I saw your power and knew it would be a waste if you were to mate that weak inu hanyou. You will be come my son's mate. Whether you wish it or not."

"Stay away." Kagome growled.

"Sleep, and awake to become my sons mate." Lilith chanted as the world around the inu miko hanyou began to fade away to darkness.

Kikiyo held both demon in a barrier of her own. She knew what Kagome was capable and knew that it was her lost memories that was allowing her to place the demon lord in one of her barriers. Once she was sure that they would not attack each other once more, she slightly lowered it and said, "Now, you will speak, and not fight. If we wait too long to return her memories she may not want them back."

"What the fuck did you think you were doing?!" Inuyasha roared.

"If you truly believe that I would do such a thing than you truly do not trust me yet brother." Sesshomaru growled as he struggled to get up.

"What the hell is going on then? Why didn't you just wait with Koga?" Inuyasha growled.

"She trusted me after being wounded and did not trust Koga. Would you have me force her to stay with someone she did not trust?" Sesshomaru replied.

"Feh, then why are you after her? Why aren't you in your lands?" Inuyasha growled.

"I am not in our lands because my mother has use Rin against me, if I did not return with your intended I would be forced to watch Rin die." Sesshomaru growled in a calm emotionless voice.

"So are you saying that you would force her to be your mate just to grant your mothers wishes?" Kikiyo asked in disbelief.

"No, I would not dishonor myself in such a way, not even for my mother." Sesshomaru growled.

"Then what were you going to do with her?" Inuyasha growled.

"I was going to send her to the one place that you would only be able to reach her." Sesshomaru answered.

"You were going to send her to her time as a hanyou where she had no way of controlling herself?" Kikiyo asked.

"If she was in her time she was sure to remember her family, she would remember them at the least and they could explain to her if she voiced her intentions to them." Sesshomaru explained.

"But what about Rin?" Inuyasha asked. "Won't your mother harm her?"

"I knew you would send your companies to my castle, she will be safe with them." Sesshomaru answered.

"So where is she now?" Inuyasha asked.

"She stated that she would be leaving that she would be going home." Kikiyo answered.

"She's going to the well house." Inuyasha growled.

"Well house?" Kikiyo asked.

"The bone eaters well, it's a well house in her time." Inuyasha growled as he moved to leave.

"I will be going with you." Sesshomaru growled as he struggled to stand.

"You are not fit to travel." Kikiyo was heard.

"I will go to stop my mother." Sesshomaru growled at the dead miko.

"What is that bitch thing?" Inuyasha growled in anger.

"Watch your mouth brother, that woman is still this Sesshomaru's mother."

Having nothing else to say, the three took off toward the village. once they arrived, one f the villagers came up to Inuyasha the undead miko. Sesshomaru had gone his own way when he picked up his mother's scent. Once he had landed and been seen, the village headman walked over to Inuyasha and said, "Are you looking for Lady Kagome?"

"Yes, where is she?" Inuyasha answered in a worried voice.

"Ye must come with me Inuyasha, before it is too late." Kaede's worried voice was head.

"What has happened sister?" Kikiyo answered as she took a step forward.

"Ye both must come, there is a demon wanting to speak with Kagome, she had done something to her, she has bewitched her." Kaede stated as she began to lead the way.

"I will meet you both there, Inuyasha if you may, please carry my sister." Kikiyo was heard as her soul collectors began to surround her.

"Feh, just try and keep up, come on Kaede." Inuyasha growled as he picked her up.

"Ye must hurry." Kaede added in a worry. "Kagome was not herself."

"Feh, I know, I wasn't there when she woke up, but I know why." Inuyasha answered.

"Inuyasha, what happened to her?" Kaede added.

"She was tricked and needs our help." Inuyasha growled.

By the time they reached the field that they found blood and marking that showed proof of a fight. Inuyasha could smell mostly Kagome's blood but could tell that she had wounded the woman far more with her miko powers then with her claws. 'Feh, once she's at my side I'm going to train the wench.' Inuyasha thought as he tried to figure out which way she had gone. However before he could pick anything up, He was pulled back as Kikiyo was heard say, "Stand back, there is poison here that will kill you Inuyasha."

"Kikiyo?" Kaede called.

"Kaede, which herbs did you give her?" Kikiyo called as she pulled out a folded piece of paper.

"I gave her the ones that rarely grow the ones that you told me to never give to a human." Kaede answered. "I knew that they would help her."

"I see, and do you know of the herbs that the demon gave her?" Kikiyo asked as the ground where Kagome's blood lay began to turn black.

"I do not." Kaede answered. "She could not name them, they were demon herbs."

"Demon indeed, she is a master of poisons, I'm sure of this." Kikiyo hissed in a dark tone.

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked as he noticed the black ground that was turned by Kagome's blood.

"She has also added herbs that would kill her if she did not obey her…Kagome has no choice unless she can remember you soon. She will be brain washed, her heart changed to love Sesshomaru and not you." Kikiyo explained. "Kaede I believe you have what I need to make the drink she will need in your hut."

"Feh, come on you old hag, I'll take you back and get the herbs, Kikiyo are you waiting here?" Inuyasha growled.

"No, I'll be at the god tree; I must find her before she is changed. We share a link just as you and I had Inuyasha, I will find her before it is too late." Kikiyo answered in a determined voice before taking her leave.

He had followed his mother scent knowing where she would take Kagome and where she was leading him. He knew that Rin would be safe now, knew that his mother must have somehow figured what would happen since his brother friends had gone to his castle. Once he had reached the hidden castle within the dry waterfall, the water began to flow as it began to hid his scent. 'Mother, what have you done?' Sesshomaru thought as he made his way to the room that held his mother scent the strongest.

Once he had reached the room, he found a human, sleeping Kagome as his mother placed a demonic barrier around the girl. Once she was sure that her son was not going to try to attack the barrier to free the girl or that the girl's miko powers would not free her, she faced her son and said, "I'm glad you got free of that hanyou, we have much to do."

"Mother you must stop this, this will not work." Sesshomaru growled out in anger.

"Do not worry, once you have taken her, that dead miko will come to life for that hanyou. He will forget all about this one." Lilith stated.

"He will not, he is the son of my father, we share the same blood, he will not take another, his human heart will make sure of that." Sesshomaru growled as he tried to get his mother to understand.

"He will have to learn to live with it until you have chosen your true mate, just as your father did to me, you will now do." Lilith growled in anger. "And do not worry my son; I have made it so that this bitch cannot bear any children until you have chosen your true mate."

"I will not do this, I will not allow you to do so." Sesshomaru growled as he reached for his sword.

"Are you sure that you will stop me my son?" Lilith asked in a cold tone. "Do not forget that you yourself allowed me to watch over that child before you left your lands."

"If you have harmed her or poisoned her I will kill you, my mother or not." Sesshomaru growled out in rage.

"then you will do as I say, make this girl your mate when she wakes or watch that child die of poison." Lilith growled as she moved to lift the sleeping girl up.

"Where are you taking her?" Sesshomaru growled.

"I will be pleasing her in your room. Until she is awake you may not enter, for now you should go and see the cook so that he may prepare a meal for this girl. She will need her strength if she is to become your mate." She answered before walking out of the room with the human girl in her arms.

'What will I do now? What will happen when my brother finds his intended in my arms, that she had slept in my bed?' Sesshomaru couldn't help but think as he did what his mother asked of him. He could feel the poisons in his body moving him to do so, she was a demon of poisons and she was the reason he had powerful poison in his blood. It was also the reason she could control his body just as she controlled that body of Kagome. After speaking with the cook about the meal that was to be made for Kagome, Sesshomaru made his way to the library in the castle where he would read and wait for one of his mother's maids to call on him when Kagome was ready to sleep in the same bed as he. For once in his entire life, the Great Lord Sesshomaru, ruler of the western lands, had no idea what he should do or how he was to get out of his mothers hold.
