Ah the smell of a new chapter. ^_^ And Still I don't own Inuyasha.

The Yōkai Child

A devious plan part four

Ryuu smiled as he was held up by his throat. He gripped the older male's wrist and made him let go. Sesshomaru looked down at his wrist and frowned at it.

"Since you want to know the deal I made with Kagome so badly I will tell. Though all you had to do was ask." he said lightly, as if not a moment ago he was being held up single handily by Sesshomaru.

"Hn." he said just glaring at him with blood lust that was only held back by his interest in a deal the pup made.

"I let her leave my castle in-exchange for a promise. That if she had not married some one by the time I grew in to a man, she would marry me. I must say it was a far deal for her freedom." he said with a grin. The look on the Lord of the West face was a true work of art. A growl escaped him as he left the castle in-raged at the pup's mindless agreement she had made.

While Sesshomaru had been in the castle A-Un had snuck up on Jaken. He had enjoyed it very much and thought he might do it more often. He didn't like the toad that followed the Lord around like a little lost dog. And how he always called him a stupid beast. He respected Lord Sesshomaru greatly but the toad could learn a few points from the great Daiyokai lord.

"Why you stupid beast!" Jaken cried angrily at him. He looked at the toad and was unable to tell him he had a name and it wasn't stupid beast. He smelled some thing tasty and found it was a nice patch of clovers. "I give up!" Jaken moaned to himself as he plopped down on the ground.

Sesshomaura went right passed them and not a word was said except a silent stay here I will be back.

Sora had returned with some food she had "Found" lying around. Kagome didn't believe that on bit but she didn't say anything to her. Shippo had also woke up just before she got back. After they finished the breakfast Kagome had cooked Sora finally decided to talk.

"The reason my hair was cut by my father. He did it to protect me from the villagers. It started a week ago when the rain was at it's worst. They believed my father was behind it. So they came to the cave looking for him. They tore everything up and burned my fathers things. We had come back from collecting fish when he smelled smoke. Hidden by the rain and trees we seen them all looking around." she said numb to the story so far. A sad smile appeared on her face.

"He told me that it was dangerous and to keep the villagers from finding me he cut my hair. And since I had on some of my older brothers old clothing. No one would be able to find me. I tried to stop him but he told me to go to my hiding place and wait for him." the smile fell from her face, tear fell down her cheek.

"I didn't do as he said I watched from high up in a tree branch. As the villagers attacked him and than drag him in to the village. He didn't fight back or hurt any of them. And as they attacked him they kept blaming him for the rain. But it wasn't his fault for all the rain. And than they..." she broke off there were no need for words.

Shippo pulled her in to a hug, as she cried on his shoulder he patted her back.

"It's alright Sora we will help. Kagome-neechan helped me when some mean old yokai killed my father." Shippo said with strength that Sora needed.

She rubbed her eyes. "How will you do that Shippo?" Sora asked wondering what the kitsune had in mind.
