Chapter 8,

Kagome and Sesshomaru went into the kitchen and sat down. The servants brought out their food, but not before taking a good long look at Kagome. She sighed and looked over at Sesshomaru.

"Will everyone stare at me?" She asked, blushing, Sesshomaru was even staring at her. She blushed again and looked down at her food and started eating. Sesshomaru smirked and they sat in silence until…

"Lord Sesshomaru please get this annoying girl to stop following me!" A loud and annoying voice was heard. Kagome sighed and looked over at Sesshomaru who shook his head then at the door.

Jaken burst in with Rin right behind him with his staff chasing him with. Kagome stifled laughter and watched as Jaken ran over to Sesshomaru. He bowed to him then stared at him.

"Please make this girl stop chasing me around, I wanted to have a day off!" He quickly stopped realizing that he had just yelled at The Lord Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru raised and eyebrow at him and smirked. Jaken shrunk back and quickly ran away leaving Rin with them. Sesshomaru smiled at Rin.

"Rin I would like you to meet your new mother." Rin quickly turned around and looked at Kagome. Kagome smiled and walked over to her and bend down so that she was almost eye level with her.

"Hi Rin nice to meet you, again. I think that you already know me. My name is Kagome."

Rin stared at her for a minute and then pointed at her while smiling. "You are that nice lady that was here for a while, aren't you!" She said happily.

Kagome nodded and smiled at Rin again. Rin tackled her and Kagome ended up falling to the floor. Rin stared at her for a second then spotted Kagome's tail. She quickly grabbed it and wrapped around herself. Kagome chuckled and lifted her tail along with Rin.

Sesshomaru watched this and smiled. He went back to eating and watched as Rin kept petting Kagome's tail. Sesshomaru stared at them and walked over to them. Kagome looked at him and he smiled at her.

"Why don't you two go out and play today?" He looked over at Kagome. She quickly nodded and grabbed his hand. He looked suprised that she would do that but smiled anyways. "Why don't you come as well." She said softly.

Sesshomaru shook his head. "I have some work that I have to do. I will stay here unless you need my help." Kagome looked at him and frowned. "How will you know if I will need help." She asked slightly confused. Sesshomaru smiled.

"Just put some of your blood on the mark on your neck and I will sense that you are in trouble and will know where you are. Then I will come and save you from everything." He smiled and gently kissed her. Kagome smirked when he let go and left the room. She looked down at Rin who was staring at her with wide eyes.

"Wow..you are so cool. Sesshomaru never acts that nice to anyone but me." Kagome nodded and started to move her hand when she looked down and noticed that Sesshomaru had put a decent size dagger in her hand before he had left. Well if we do get attacked at least I have a weapon. She grabbed Rin's hand and smiled at her.

"Come on. We can go pick flowers in the field near the forest." Rin quickly nodded and they headed out to the field. Sesshomaru watched as they headed out and smiled.

Kagome had Rin on her back and she was running faster than she ever thought she could, to the field. Kagome sat down and watched as Rin picked flowers and put them in a pile.

Kagome smiled at her and suddenly felt someone coming through the forest of demons. Suddenly she felt about three bear demons and one of them had something very tainted. Kagome did not know what it was though. She looked over at Rin.

"Rin, head back to the castle and tell Sesshomaru that I am in the forest. I felt something and I need to know what it is." She said softly. Rin nodded and quickly ran off. Kagome looked at the forest and ran.

...

Inuyasha and the group had gotten into the demon forest when Kikyo looked at all of them and Inuyasha tensed. He looked over at her and put her down. "I smell demons." Kikyo nodded and the group got ready to fight.

Suddenly three bear demons came out of the woods and glared at Inuyasha. The first bear demon looked strange though. Inuyasha looked at Kikyo who just shook her head.

The demons attacked and with such speed that the group was greatly surprised. It took all of the groups efforts just to defend themselves. Inuyasha looked over at Kikyo who was backed into a tree and quickly ran over to her, just grabbing her and pulling her away as the demon swiped at her.

Suddenly the demons stopped attacking and all of them followed the demon's gazes and watched as a strange demon came out of the woods. Inuyasha stared at her for a second before her smell hit him. Inuyasha and Kikyo ran over to the group and Inuyasha stared at the demon that was having glaring contests with the bear demons. He looked at everyones faces and noticed that they even recognized the woman demon.

Kagome looked at the group of travelers and then back at the bear demons. She growled and they flinched. Kagome smirked and pulled out her dagger and got into a fighting position. Before the demons could even attack Kagome was behind them and quickly destroyed them. All that was left was the oddly colored bear demon. The demon roared at her.

The demon quickly charged and Kagome tried to dodge but managed to get clipped in her arm by the demons claw. She landed gracefully on the ground and put some of her blood on the mark on her neck. She then charged the demon and after about ten minutes of fighting the bear demon finally fell. Kagome sighed and sat on the ground.

She sensed that Sesshomaru would be there in about ten minutes and leaned against the tree. She had managed to acquire many wounds while fighting and just sat there. The group that was in front of her started at her and finally the half demon walked forward. She stared at him and bared her fangs at him. He flinched but did not back off. In fact he got closer.

Kagome growled at him. "Who are you and what are you doing in this forest, you are trespassing." The man flinched again and stared at her. The group sat down in front of her, but on the oppisite side of the clearing and kept staring at her. The man looked at her with sadness in his eyes.

"My name is Inuyasha and you look like someone that I know, what is your name?" He asked her. Kagome stared at him and glared. "My name is Kagome. Any more questions?"

Inuyasha stared at her and his jaw dropped. Suddenly Sesshomaru walked out of the forest and stood by Kagome. He looked around and noticed the remains of the bear demons. Then he smiled down at Kagome and helped her stand up. Inuyasha stared at him.

"Sesshomaru, you bastard, what have you done to Kagome!?" He asked with pure hate in his voice. Sesshomaru stared at him and pulled Kagome behind him. "I have done nothing to her. Please leave my lands at once because you are starting to scare my wife." Inuyasha stared at him and his eyes flickerd to red then became normal again. He then charged Sesshomaru with the intent to kill.
