Chapter 18,

Sesshomaru watched over Kagome all night long and he did not fall asleep till he knew that she was safe. The sun had just started to rise and Sesshomaru in the end dozed off.

Kagome slowly came to and realized that her shoulder burned a little. She winced and after a bit finally got the courage and she opened her eyes coming face to face with Sesshomaru's clothed chest. She smiled to herself, especially when she noticed that Sesshomaru was fast asleep.

Kagome slowly got up, trying not to wake him up, and the put the blanket over him. She then walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of dark blue jeans and a black tank top. She put on the shirt but noticed that her jeans would need a tail hold. She just sat there looking at them for a while and finally cut a tail whole, although it made the jeans look just a little bit odd.

Kagome just shrugged and started to walk out her room but she heard a noise behind her and she turned around to see Sesshomaru getting out of bed. She smiled at him.

"Good morning to you." She said and he smiled at her. "Good morning, and how are you feeling?" He asked and Kagome smiled at him. "I feel just fine, my shoulder slightly burns but that is about it." She said and Sesshomaru nodded.

He got out of bed and changed into his usual outfit and both he and Kagome walked downstairs. When they got downstairs Kagome's mother bombarded her with questions regarding her health. Kagome rolled her eyes and everyone sat on the couch while the question and answer game went on.

After about an hour of talking Kagome looked over at her parents. "We really need to go." She said and everyone nodded. Sesshomaru went up and got everything ready while Kagome said by to her family.

Sesshomaru came back down with both kids in tow and their cloths and luggage packed. Kagome said one last final goodbye to her parents and then they jumped down the well and went back to the Feudal Era.

When they got back Sesshomaru noticed that something was slightly off. He took the double stroller from Kagome and he put the luggage in the extra space and the Kagome stood beside him. Then Sesshomaru summoned his cloud and they flew off towards the castle.

They finally got to the castle and everyone greeted them. Kagome quickly jumped off of the cloud and ran and embraced Sango. Sesshomaru walked over to them and Sango let go of Kagome and she looked at Aiden and Kira. Miroku then walked over to them.

"I am glad to see you are safe Kagome, Sesshomaru." He said and they both quickly nodded. Inuyasha, Shippo, and Kikyo came over last and they looked at both Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha was the first to speak.

"Kagome it is good to see you again." He said Kagome smiled at him. Sesshomaru pushed the stroller to them and he grabbed Kagome's hand and he looked at the group.

"It will be dark soon so I suggest that we take this conversation inside." They all nodded and they walked inside. Sesshomaru helped and put all of their new stuff inside their room and then they put the sleeping children in the cribs. Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru.

"They are waiting in the dining hall for us." She said and Sesshomaru nodded and they walked to the room.

When they got there Sango looked up at them and waited till they sat down before she told them what was worrying her. "I felt a strong demonic presence while I was outside a few days ago." She said and Sesshomaru looked at her and nodded. "We have quite a few strong demons in the forest surrounding this castle." He said and Sango shook her head.

"No, I think that it was Takai. The aura was faint but I knew who it was." She said and Kagome's eyes widened. Sesshomaru saw the worry in her eyes and took her hands. Kagome sighed and then looked at the group.

"We will just have to wait for him to make a move before we can really do anything. Until then lets just get ready for a big fight." She said and everyone nodded. Sesshomaru then dismissed everyone and both he and Kagome went up to their room.

Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome. "I have something that I want to give you tomorrow, plus you shall train with me." He said and Kagome nodded. They got to their room and they changed and went to bed, quickly falling asleep.

Takai walked around the cave that he had been hiding out in the past few months. The cat demon walked in through the entrance and kneeled to him. Takai smirked and looked at him.

"Has Sesshomaru returned to the castle?" He asked and the cat demon nodded. The cat demon then looked up at him. "Plus the little miko." He said and Takai's eyes almost went red from the fury he felt.

"You mean the miko that you supposedly killed!?" He yelled and the cat demon nodded. "Yes, somehow she is still alive." He said and Takai looked at him. "Was there anything or anybody else there with them?" He asked and the demon nodded. "Yes, it seems that the miko had children with Sesshomaru." He said and Takai smiled to himself.

Takai now had the perfect bait in plan and in the end would succeed in his plan. Takai laughed and walked out of the cave towards the western lands.
