Kagome walked as fast as she could off campus, that was way to close and as much as she wanted to know if it
was really her Rin she feared asking. If it was her Rin then that meant that Sesshomaru was still around and
Kagome was sure he was one of the lords there was no way she could see him giving up his title for anything. No
she needed to get home quickly now she had about an hour before her class she just left would let out witch meant
she had a jump on Rin telling daddy dearest about her reaction. She was speed walking down the side walk when
she was stopped by voices just up ahead of her. She hid next to the building not willing to walk in to the middle of
whatever was going on being as a least two of the people talking sounded pissed off.
Earlier the four lords had gather at a small restaurant just a few blocks from Sesshomaru's office so it would be
quick for him to get there after his court date. They were seated once more in a private area ordered something
light to eat and started their discussion. "Ok Koga spill, I know you didn't give us all the details in your call last
night" Inuyasha pushed he needed confirmation that his hunch was right. Koga shook his head at his friends antics
"My daughter Leeya was the one to run in to her last night" he started. "Wait what was Leeya doing on this in the
first place?" Shippo asked clearly confused. Koga growled slightly "I didn't put her on it my lovely mate had
mentioned it to her and she took it on her own to seek the miko out." "Hn, as prideful and stupid as her sire"
Sesshomaru added looking off in to space. "Ok look ice king you can sit here and play nice with the rest of us or you
can leave, it's not like you have any more information than I do" Koga hissed out after the insult to both he and his
daughter. Sesshomaru just ignored him but didn't make to move away from the table. "That's what I thought" Koga
taunted "Anyways the miko has several new tricks up her sleeves things I've never heard of a miko being able to
do" he said confusion in his own voice. "Like what?" Shippo asked in shock, it was one thing to have a powerful
miko around it was another to have one that had new tricks they didn't know. "She moved like one of us" Koga said
looking around the table "Leeya was following her when she just up and disappeared the next time Leeya saw the
miko she was standing on a branch above her in a tree." The table looked shocked all but Sesshomaru "And your
pup did not see her move or hear her land in the tree right above her head?" he asked kind of snidely. "Look
Sesshomaru I know what you're thinking but you know Leeya she's one of the best damn trackers if the miko made
as sound she would have heard it" Koga had the upmost faith in his pup if she said she didn't her the woman she
didn't hear her period.
The table fell in to silence "What else did Leeya find out?" Inuyasha asked. Koga shook his head "The miko doesn't
wish to harm our kind or so she says, Leeya couldn't tell if she was lying she like the others couldn't catch her
scent." He stated in a very aggravated tone this whole miko business was driving him nuts. "Leeya also didn't get
the name of the woman, and man are you going to love what this little miko told my daughter." Koga paused for
effect "She inform Leeya that she would only give her name to one of us if we could find her, She also informed
Leeya that she thought we were cowards by not seeking her out ourselves and only wished to save our own
hides." With that the whole table was filled with growls cusses and snarls Koga himself found it rather funny really
but again it was only because it reminded him of something Kagome would have said and done. "So this bitch
wants one of us to find her fine I say let's do it" Inuyasha spat out, Shippo looked slightly worried the two inus at
the table were taking the hit to their pride way harder than he or Koga was. "Now come on Yasha do you really
want to piss a miko off with those beads still around your neck, if she's as strong as we are thinking what makes
you think she can't invoke the magic in them as easily as Kagome could." Shippo covered his mouth as soon as the
word slipped out, it wasn't that it was taboo to say her name it was just not something that was done or hadn't
been done for a very long time. Inuyasha sobered quickly "Don't use her name with this miko Kagome wouldn't
have insulted us that way" he growled out. Koga jumped in to help Shippo "The hell she wouldn't mutt face did she
not say something just as rude to ice king over her back in the day. You all have to admit the line is right out of
Kagome's book even if it isn't her." Inuyasha took a calming breath now was so not the time to talk about it "What
else was new that we don't already know?" he asked changing the subject.
Koga looked around the table there was only one last thing to share and it was what was going to make finding
this miko the hardest. "She has the ability when she pulls her miko powers completely in she appears nothing more
than human. Leeya was standing right there when she did it and aside from the scent of a normal human there was
nothing to the woman , no underling scent marker of her own just human." He said looking around the table once
more Sesshomaru seemed to have a thought full look on his face "After the miko did such did Leeya sense her at
all?" he asked looking at the wolf. Koga thought back to what Leeya had told him "You know come to think of it now
she didn't, Leeya said that once her miko powers were pulled in there was no way to sense her at all other than by
sight. Why do you think you have a lead Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru let out a dark growl the tree hadn't lied when
he said he just missed her, hell he let the woman walk off without giving her as second glance he knew something
was wrong when he couldn't sense her at all. "I have already seen this miko" Sesshomaru hissed out "What
when?" Inuyasha asked rather loudly. "This afternoon at the great mulberry tree in the park she was there when I
went to speak to him." "And you just let her go why Sesshomaru?" Shippo asked, it was very unlike Sesshomaru to
let something go if he knows something wasn't right. Sesshomaru growled low again looking at Koga "At the time I
was not inclined to the information that when present she was not sensible at all." Koga ducked his head slightly
"Yeah well it was late when I called last night and you all were moody enough I wasn't about to keep you on the
phone." In light of all the new information the four lords thought it best to leave and search out this miko.
Rin had left the class she was visiting as soon as she could she needed to call Shippo and tell him what she found
out. Kagome was very much alive and she had a deep feeling that the miko the four lords were chasing was none
other than her. When the young woman had ignored her when she asked her to wait Rin had doubted it was really
her mother figure. However after having time to think about the situation it made it even clearer it had to be the
same woman. No doubt Kagome had connected the dots if she was alive so was Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru
would still be a lord. Rin pulled her phone from her pocket and dialed her mate's number from speed dial. It rang five
times than went to voice mail and Rin huffed she called again, again it rang five times than went to voice mail. By
this point Rin was really pissed off at her mate she called once more and this time it went straight to voice mail. She
growled very animalistic being she was still very human of all the times he chose to shut his phone off why now.
She wasn't sure where they were having the meeting at but she realized it was very important now to get in
contact with them. On instinct she tried Sesshomaru's phone next his went right to voice mail, she huffed what was
wrong with these guys what if she had been in an accident or something. Well, all four lords were going to get a
stern talking to when she got a hold of them.
She made it off campus and to her car in record time; Rin knew that they were having the meeting close to the office
so that Sesshomaru could make it there on time. She put her car in to gear and made her way to the restaurants
she knew close by the office there were only so many and the cars of all of the lords would be hard to miss
anywhere in the city much less in such a narrowed down area. If one of them would just answer their phones this
would be so much easier but she knew she was asking for too much. Sighing she stopped at a stop light tapping
her finger restlessly against the steering wheel she waited non to patiently for it to change. Speeding down the
road she soon spotted Inuyasha black BMW and quickly made to pull up to the curb.
