I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA

A/N:: HI EVERYBODY! HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER, HOPE YOU ENJOY IT ^.^

Kagome awoke feeling uneasy as if someone was staring at her; she opened her eyes to see Sango and Miroku's death stare. With a few blinks and a rub of her eyes Kagome finally asked what was up.

"What's wrong?" Kagome Yawned

"Are you okay?" Sango asked crawling closer

"Hmmm.. a little tired but I great" Kagome smiled and stretched her hands in the air as if to touch the clouds "Why?"

"Your forehead" Miroku pointed to his own head to show her where.

"What are you talking about" Kagome started to panic thinking something 10 times worse than what they saw, She was thinking spider bite, huge zit, anything Sesshomaru would think of as disgusting... Kagome reached over to her Yellow bag and reached in, she quickly found what she was looking for, a compact Mirror she had kept very good care of since the well closed. Kagome took a nervous breath and opened the Mirror "Oh" Kagome breath in relief seeing Sesshomaru crescent moon, she smiled and packed the mirror away to keep it safe for another day

"Oh?" Sango questioned "What is that"

"You look like Sesshomaru" Miroku added

"Well I'm pretty sure I got it from mating with him last night" Kagome laughed

"What!" Sango almost yelled being mindful of the kids sleeping next to Kagome.

"Well we weren't going to do it last night but then Inuyasha came and messed everything up, but after that was sorted out one thing lead to another and boom we are mates"

"Kagome do you understand what you did?" Sango snapped

"Yes, I am mated for life" Kagome said proudly "Sango I have loved him for a while now, yes he has tried to kill me in the past but it never changed my feelings"

"How long is a while?" Sango snapped

"Well I have had a crush on him since we first met and I guess it kind of grew from there" Kagome giggle

"Does he love you though?" Sango sighed

"I don't think he would mate me if he didn't have feelings for me" Kagome rolled her eyes

"Well I don't-" Sango was cut off as Miroku grabbed her arm and nodded to the left behind Kagome, Sango was about to ask what when Sesshomaru appeared walking up to Kagome.

He didn't look at the slayer or the monk; his eyes were glued on Kagome, who was now blushing bright pink. He walked over to Kagome and stood her up, he dug in his sleeve and pulled out a beautiful bloomed rose, He brushed the rose petals across Kagome's jaw line before tucking in behind her left ear "Good morning Koi" He kissed Kagome lightly on the lips before turning to see the slayer and monk with their jaws on the ground, he smirked and sat under a tree to wait for the pups to be up.

"S-S-S-So Let me get this straight, you two are now mated, and love each other?" Sango asked but before Kagome could answer

"Does your mind work that slow slayer? Yes Kagome is now mine!" Sesshomaru spoke calmly but Kagome could hear the aggravation in his voice

"Sango please, I am happy now" Kagome smiled

"Well I for one am happy momma is with Sesshomaru-sama" Shippo rolled over

"How long have you been up Shippo?" Kagome asked

"Long enough" He smirked much like Sesshomaru

"Shippo" Kagome sighed but with a smiled

"*Yawn* Am I the last one up?" Rin asked looking around to see everyone else sitting up

"Yes, but thats okay you played a lot yesterday" Kagome rubbed her back "Here lets fix your hair" Kagome pulled Rin in to her lap and began pulling out the smashed Dasie's and undoing the Braid. Kagome ran her finger through Rin's hair to untangle her hair, once that was done Kagome began the Braid "Rin, I'm going to make it a little tighter so it won t fall, so you might feel a little pull every now and again"

"Okay Kagome" Rin smiled, she liked the feeling when Kagome played with her hair, it reminded her of when she passed the village seeing mother and child playing with each other s long hair. Kagome could feel as well as Sesshomaru the mood shift in Rin

"Rin? Are you okay?" Kagome was almost halfway done with her hair.

"Oh I was just thinking" Rin admitted

"About?" Shippo asked before Kagome could

"Well what Kagomes is doing... I usually only see this when a mother plays with her childes hair" Rin sighed

"Rin are you thinking of your mother?" Kagome asked finishing her braid tying it with a white hair ribbon, one that Kagome never used unless it was a very hot summer day.

"No" Was all Rin Said.

"Come on lets go pick out new flowers for your hair" Kagome asked changing the subject

"Okay" Rin smiled and followed Kagome to the field of flowers nearby, Sango watched Sesshomaru his eyes never leaving Kagome 'maybe what Kagome said is true, he keeps Rin around, she is healthy and happy so maybe he is different to those who are kind at heart' Sango thought to herself but was pulled from her thought as Sesshomaru stood and walked over to Kagome and Rin. Everyone watched as he walked behind Kagome and pulled her in to a kiss dipping her back as he did Rin Cheered.

Once the kiss was over Kagome and Sesshomaru walked hand in hand back to the group, Sango and Miroku nodded as if to say they were okay with it and Shippo already approved earlier

"Rin has a question" She asked spinning around to face Kagome but was distracted "Where did you get that rose?" Rin pointed to the flawless blooming rose atop of Kagome's Left ear

"Sesshomaru gave it to me this morning, do you like it?" Kagome asked placing her hand over the rose blushing slightly

"Its beautiful" Rin smiled

"Was that your question?" Sesshomaru asked knowing that question about the flower wasn't the one she wanted to ask.

"Oh, no it wasn't" Rin Laughed "I was wondering are you married now? Rin has noticed you have matching moons"

"Yes Rin, We are" Kagome smiled not really wanting to tell Rin the whole mating thing.

"YAY! Does this mean Kagome is Rins new mother?" Rin asked circling the dirt with her toe

"Do you consider Sesshomaru your father?" Kagome asked knowing the answer

"Yes Sesshomaru-sama takes care of Rin Like a real Dad should" Rin said still looking at the dirt

"Then Yes, If you consider Sesshomaru to be your father then yes I Can be your new mother" Kagome smiled but then heard the soft sobs, Kagome watched as tears fell from Rins face on to the dirt, Kagome began to panic thinking she did something wrong but felt the cool heavy hand of her mate on her shoulder. Sesshomaru could feel the waves of happiness coming of Rin, Kagome looked back to Rin, and She knelt to be eye level with Rin "Whats wrong?" Kagome asked

"Nothing is wrong, Rin is sooooo Happy" Rin whipped her tears "R-Rin H-Has a F-Family N-Now" Kagome felt a few tear fill her eyes in that moment, Rin wasn't crying out of sadness but crying out of happiness, Rin lost her mother, father and brother in one day, but got them back on another. Kagome grabbed Rin in to a bear hug, letting her cry it out. Sesshomaru kissed kagomes head before heading back to the tree leaving them to have their moment.

"I have always considered you as my daughter Rin" Kagome whispered in Rins ear causing Rin to hold Kagome tighter

"Can(hic) I(hic) Call(hic) You(hic) Mother like Shippo does" Rin whispered back, causing Kagome to tear up even more letting a tear fall down her cheek

"You can call me whatever you like" Kagome whispered back giving Rin A kiss on the cheek, after a few more soft sobs Kagome rubbed Rin back and asked if she was hunrgy Rin said she was, Kagome stood and walked with Rin Back to her sleeping bag where shippo still sat.

"Kagome? Where is Inuyasha, you said he..." Sango looked at the children "Interrupted last night, umm where is he now?" Sango asked noticed he should have been back by now"

"Well" Kagome started to answer but Sesshomaru cut it

"The Hanyou is still alive if that is what you ask" Sesshomaru stoic voice rang in her head

"Okay but where is he?" Miroku asked

"He is happy on a beach"

"There are no beaches near here?" Kagome asked

"No there is not" Sesshomaru smirked

"You took him that far in a matter of seconds?" Kagome asked in disbelief

"Hn" was his only answer "He will think twice before... interrupting" Sesshomaru closed his eyes again

"I see" Sango and Miroku traded glances before shrugging and letting it go

"Are we staying here again today?" Shippo asked Sesshomaru

"No, we will be leaving soon" he answered his new son in a calm voice "The Hanyou will catch up soon"

"Okay" Shippo nodded and moved back to Kagome and Rin how were munching on some apples Miroku picked earlier that morning.


A few hours later...


Sango and Miroku were leading the group but had no clue where they were going but figured they were on the right track otherwise Sesshomaru would have told them. Kagome was in the middle holding shippos hand, Rin was next to her looking at the flowers as they walked past them, and Sesshomaru was behind them watching the way his mate s hips swayed with each step. But something else caught his eye his adopted pup Rin, She kept looking at Kagome and Shippo holing hand, she would begn to reach up to take Kagomes hand but would chicken out and drop her hand looking back at the flowers with a sigh

"Rin, If you want something you must ask" Sesshomaru simply stated

"Kagome, May I hold your hand?" Rin asked with her puppy dog eyes

Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and turned to Rin, Kagome bent down to be eye level with Rin "I told you that my hand is here for you to hold whenever you want to" Kagome smiled "You don't have to ask for my hand, just take it" Kagome grabbed Rins hand, stood and began to walk, Rin looked back at Sesshomaru and blew him a kiss

if it weren't for the kids Sesshomaru would have wanted to hold her hand as well, Sesshomaru watched as Kagome twirled Rin and Shippo around, He listened to their giggles with a small smiled playing on his lips everything was perfect until Kagome stopped dead in her tracks, Sesshomaru was about to ask what was wrong but she bent down and pulled the pups in close to put up a barrier, at that moment Sesshomaru looked up to see a large demon run in to view, he cursed himself for not noticing it but realized that even with it standing in front of him he still couldn't smell/sense the demon. Sango and Miroku readied for a battle but they didn't realize how powerful Sesshomaru was, he chuckled and flicked his wrist causing his whip to stretch out and slice the demon in half, Sango and Miroku stood in Awe

"Kagome?" He asked seeing how she didn't come out of the barrier when he killed the demon "Kagome?" he started to worry but did not let it show he reached for the spot they where knelt down at but was trusted back by a strong barrier, 1- proving Kagome was still there and 2-proving there was still danger near. Sesshomaru looked around but did not see anything, he was about to ask Kagome why when a dark figured walked through the trees, Sesshomaru stepped in front of the barrier Kagome had set.

"Where is she?" The dark figured asked but no one replied "Now, Now where is the Miko?"

"Who are you?"

"Jun" He answered finally appearing, he was taller than Sesshomaru, he had long dark green Hair with black eyes.

"What do you want with the Miko?" Miroku asked

"My business it with her" Jun stated

"Leave" Sesshomaru snapped

"I don't think so, just give me the miko" Jun pulled out a long sword with a dark purple glow

"Do not test me" Sesshomaru pulled out his sword

"Hmm I guess I can kill you before I kill her" Jun charged after Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru did not moved as jun raced towards him, their sword clashed Sesshomaru kept his face calm as his sword clashed with Jun's... Sesshomarus eyes winded as Jun started to push Sesshomaru, his feet dragging the ground, he looked back to see he was getting close to the barrier, if he was to touch it he would he shocked giving away Kagome postiton. Sesshomaru eyes brows pulled together as he pushed against Jun without success, Sesshomaru clawed at Jun but missed Sesshomaru realized he was past the point where Kagomes barrier was. He flicked his whip around Jun catching his shoulder. With Jun distracted Sesshoamru kicked him across the field and into the trees, Sesshomaru looked around seeing no one, the slayer and Monk gone, only he and Jun were in the clearing.

"Where did the other two go?" Jun asked standing up whipping the blood off his chin

"Does it matter your fight is with me" Sesshomaru twisted the sword in his hand

"Well actually my fight is with-" Jun was cut off

"Me" Sesshomaru slowly turned to see Kagome walking in to the clearing, but something was different, She was back in her old School uniform that was destroyed long ago, her hair was up in a loose twist but the rose he place in her hair was still there but the mark on her forehead showing everyone that she was his was gone, Sesshomaru was smart figured that she hid it to keep the enemy from using it against her.

"Finally the Priestess who controls the Jewel" Jun asked flipping his sword

"What are you doing?" Sesshomaru snapped keeping his face calm

"Its okay" Kagome winked at him and walked between Sesshomaru and Jun "What do you want with me"

"To kill you and take the jewel of course" Jun laughed

"Let's see what you got" Kagome pushed the hair over her right ear and smirked

"Kagome no" Sesshomaru spoke but it was to late Jun was charging at Kagome he swung his sword down at Kagome but she disappeared only to reappear behind him

"To slow" She whispered before disappearing again, Sesshomaru was taking back, He never knew Kagome could do that. He knew she was powerful but was surprised at the display of power, He watched as Jun swung at Kagome only to slash air, Kagome appeared behind him again placing her hand over his shoulder, He jumped in pain. Sesshomaru watched as smoke rose from his shoulder from where she touched him with her purification powers

"BITCH" He yelled as he slashed the air again

"Not much are you" Kagome laughed "I thought you wanted to fight but seems you just wanted batting practices" Kagome laughed as she disappeared again before Jun could cut her

"Stay still" Jun yelled

"I thought you wanted to kill me?" Kagome appeared in front of him only to disappear before he could grab her

'Sneaky' Sesshomaru thought, He was no match for Kagome, She surpassed Kikyo in many ways with the priestess powers.

"Come one, is that all you got?" Kagome asked burning a whole in his leg

"I will kill you" Jun spat through his teeth. Kagome giggled as she disappeared again, Jun smirked and sheathed his sword and closed his eyes for a moment before chuckling

"Whats so funny, give up" Kagome laughed appearing a few feet in front of him

"Not likely" Jun laughed slowly reaching for Kagome, as she disappeared he reached behind him grabbing Kagome by the throat "Got you" he spat through his teeth

Sesshomaru's eyes widened as Jun squeezed Kagomes neck "Kagome" Sesshomaru whispered so low Jun could hear him

"KAGOME!" Sesshomaru turned to see Inuyasha jumping over the tree's "Sesshomaru get your head out of your ass" Inuyasha spat as he pulled his Tessaiga out, Inuyasha readied his sword but stopped when Kagome held her hand up telling Inuyasha to stop. "Oi, what is Kagome doing?" Inuyasha yelled towards Sesshomaru

"Apparently she think she can handle the demon on her own" Sesshomaru obviously not happy about it

"What the fuck!" Inuyasha looked back to Kagome and Jun staring each other down

"WHERE IS THE JEWEL?" Jun shook Kagome, Causing Sesshomaru's eyes to bleed red and when Kagome said nothing Jun squeezed tighter "Fine! DIEEE" jun yelled shoving his sword into Kagome chest, Kagome gurgled as her mouth filled with blood. Sesshomaru gasped and felt his heart sink in to his stomach same for Inuyasha. They watched as Kagome fell to the ground gurgling blood Jun cleaned his sword on her shirt before turning to Sesshomaru, his eyes completely Red "Oh was she dear to you?" Jun laughed

"You son of a bitch" Inuyasha charged towards Jun but was thrown to the trees by Jun

"This is going to ruin my whole day" Kagome rolled over grabbing her chest

"Tell me where the jewel is!" Jun demanded

"You dare hurt what's mine" Sesshomaru growled in a deep voice "You will die today here and now" Sesshomaru charged after Jun.
