I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA, I DON'T MAKE MONEY OFF OF THIS!

A/N::Well Here ya go the long awaited Chapter 5... Not much to say on this A/N other than enjoy, if you have any questions feel free to PM me :)


Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango camped out at the cliff side waiting for Shippo to Return "Maybe I should have gone after him, a sight like that would surely snap his mind" Sango said with regret in her heart

"He must see her for himself, Otherwise he will never be the same" Miroku leaned against one of the broken trees

"But still one of us should have gone with him, He really needs us now" Sangos tears started up again

"It's a terrible thing to see" Inuyasha spoke still sitting at the edge, he hadn't spoke for hours

"Huh?" They said in unison

"Kagome may not have been Shippos true mother but he looked at her in that way, Seeing your dead mother is a terrible thing, I wish it on no child"

"That's right, You were there when your mother passed" Sango wiped her tears "Maybe you'll know what to say to him"

"It's different, My mother was not killed in the same way Kagome was… Plus my words you go on def ears, Shippo blames me for her death" Inuyasha felt lower than dirt, Shippo was right, he was the reason Kagome was hurt, he was the reason Kagome fell, and he was the reason Kagome died.

"If Shippo does not return by morning we will go look for him, give him time to grieve" Miroku put his hands in prayer. Sango cuddled up to Kirara who seemed just as sad, while Inuyasha remained unmoving.


The Next morning Sango awoke first looking around, Miroku was still asleep, Inuyasha still sat, covered in morning dew, shivering lightly from the cold morning and wet clothes. "Inuyasha" Sango sat up but Inuyasha said nothing "Its freezing come sit by the fire"

"I'm fine" Inuyasha shook his hair sending water flying

"Inuyasha" Sango walked over and sat beside him "Sitting here is not going to bring her back" Sango rubbed his left shoulder

"I'm waiting on Shippo" Inuyasha lied, truth was he didn't have the will to move his body felt paralyzed

"Come, lets go get him" Sango turned to Kirara who was already to go, Miroku was still asleep so Sango decided not to wake him "Ready?" Sango asked jumping on Kirara

"No" Inuyasha breathed as he stood

"It's going to be okay, it might not look like it now, but I promise we will be here for you no matter what" Sango half smiled

"Thanks" Inuyasha huffed as he jumped over the edge, Sango and Kirara jumped and flew down towards the bottom

'Such a long drop' Sango thought as they descended 'This is only making Inuyasha feel worse at the distance' as they reached the bottom Inuyasha was holding his breath he knew that if he smelled Kagomes blood, he wouldn't be able to hold on anymore, First Kikyo and now Kagome, The fates were so cruel to him "I don't see them" Sango announced, Inuyasha had his eyes close and held his breath

"huh?" Inuyasha exhaled and cautiously inhaled "Where?... Her blood… Her scent is not here" Inuyasha felt a slight sting of hope

"Don't see Shippo either" Sango looked around "You go that way, and I'll look this way, Met back here when your done" Sango took west as Inuyasha dashed east, Inuyasha felt hopeful that maybe Kagome was alive, her body was not at the bottom, nor the smell of her blood, Inuyasha ran as fast as he could tripping a few times from the speed he was going, as he reached the end with no sign of Kagome he dashed towards Sango to find out if she had.


~~~~Back to Kagome


Kagome looked around from stool of some time to reach Shippos cuffs "I'll be right back, I need something to stand on to get you down" Kagome expanded the fire in her hand to get a better view, at first Kagome didn't see anything near so she went back to the front of the dungeon to see if anything could be used but she only found more cuffs and chains "Shippo bare with me, I'm going to go find a stool" Kagome ran back up the stairs and into the main Palace, Kagome ran like a man on fire looking for something, anything to stand on.

Kagome couldn't stop the tears falling down her face, she felt like her heart had crumbled in to a million pieces, her son cold and hurt, he needed her and she would do everything in her power to make sure he returned to normal. Kagome ran into the kitchen and found a metal bucket 'This will do' Kagome started to run back towards to Dungeon when she was stopped by Chi

"Kagome-sama where are you going?" Chi asked catching Kagomes shoulders

"If you value your life I suggest you remove your hands" Kagome started to glow red "Now!" Kagome sent a burst of energy though her body

"OUCH!" Chi jumped back her hands black from being burnt by Kagome "Stop" Chi begged as Kagome started running back towards the Dungeon

'Not in this life time' Kagome was running so fast she missed the last four steps and fell face first on the cold floor "Yuck" Kagome whipped the wetness of her face trying not to think about what it was. Kagome could feel the scraps burning on her face from where she just fell. But Kagome couldn't think of herself right now, she quickly stood and raced to Shippo "Here" Kagome set the bucket upside down, stood on her toes "This might hurt" Kagome closed her eyes and extended her hands towards Shippos cuffs

A blue light swirled in Kagomes hand, once she gather enough power Kagome sent the two lights out and snapped the cuffs in two, Shippo started to fall to the ground but Kagome caught him just before he hit the ground "Oh Shippo" Kagome hugged him close, he felt like ice his fur soaked to the bone, he shivered in Kagomes arms as she held him close.


~~~~MEANWHILE~~~~~~

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Who is it?" Sesshomaru growled

"Chi, Mi lord"

"And why do you bother me"

"Its Kagome Mi Lord, I found her running in the halls like a mad women, when I caught up to her she tried to purify me, and then she took off to the dungeon" Chi jumped back as Sesshomaru slammed his door opened

"My father's dungeon?"

"Yes"

"It hasn't been used in years, Are you sure that's where she went?"

"Positive" Chi bowed her head as Sesshomaru flew in the direction, As he rounded the corner he skidded to a stop seeing the cracks of the iron door glow red "What is this strange light" Sesshomaru didn't have to wait long for his answer he started to reach for the door then

*BAM*

Sesshomaru barely dodged the door 'What the..' Sesshomaru looked to see Kagome completely glowing Red, He also noticed the Kit the one she called her son, in the same way Sesshomaru called Rin his daughter, The kit was in her arms bridal style, Sesshomaru was shocked to see his condition

"Kagome" Sesshomaru reached for her but could feel the heat from the purification pulsing around her so he backed off

Kagome whispered softly and as she whispered Shippo began to float out of her arms and into the air, as Kagome finished her small chant she waved her hand the length of Shippos body and he disappeared "Now to deal with you" Kagome turned to Sesshomaru as he took a step back, He could see long scraps on her left temple and forehead down to her cheek bone with a small amount of blood coming from it causing him to become enraged, he could not fathom Kagome getting injured while in his care.

Kagome stomped over to Sesshomaru "I'm sorry" She whispered then grabbed his Bakusaiga from its sheath on his hip, He watched as tiny lighten blots entered Kagomes body, She closed her eyes, pain could be seen on her face "There" Kagome turned as dashed with demon speed towards the gates

"Kagome!" Sesshomaru was slightly shocked that Kagome took his weapon, only he was able to weld his sword yet Kagome pulled it out and was able to keep a hold of it. "Stop" Sesshomaru jogged thinking Kagome wouldn't go very far 'she wouldn't be able to hold the Bakusaiga that long' Sesshomaru made it outside of his palace when he heard his guards gathering at the front gate, he listened as they called for more troops 'What is going on' Sesshomaru listened as he walked in a fast pace to the sound of his men fighting and dying, the sound of swords clashing, and the sounds of Kagomes grunts and her loud screaming.

Sesshomaru made it to the bottom where the gate was located to find his mens bodies laying in plies their body's slowly decomposing, the smell of rotting flesh filled the air "Kagome" Sesshomaru barked but she didn't stop she kept slashing at his men waiting for the one how hurt her child "ENOUGH" Sesshomaru stared to walk towards Kagome to stop her from killing but was stopped by Chi

"No Mi lord" Chi stepped in front of him

"What are you doing" Sesshomaru growled

Chi looked back towards Kagome then to Sesshomaru "Hell has no fury like a scorn Mother… Though I do not know the whole story, but from what I have seen the kit was in the dungeon beat and starved, Kagome found him and is now looking for the one responsible, if you should save your men she would think you had something to do with it, I suggest you find the culprit before she takes anymore innocent lives"

"Hn" Sesshomaru disappeared and reappeared behind Kagome he wrapped his arms around her to prevent her form moving as he yelled towards his men "Enough!" Sesshomaru felt the sting from Kagomes purity powers but did not let her go "I want to know who put the Kit in the Dungeon? Fess up now or I will release her and you will have her to deal with, along with me" Sesshomaru watched as his men looked around "Fine" Sesshomaru started to let go when a demon a large man with blue hair and purple eyes stepped up

"Fine it was me, who cares" The demon smirked

"You son of a bitch, I will kill you" Kagomes anger rose

"The rest of you, leave now" Sesshomaru growled and his man scattered "Why was the Kit there?"

"He was a trespasser and attacked us, I thought killing him was extreme so I placed him there to teach him a lesson" The man laughed

"And you didn't think to tell me, about the CHILD"

"T-That is no child sir, he only wants to you think tha-" The demon was cut off

"Enough" Kagome screamed and thrusted Sesshomaru off of her, Kagome leaped to the man slicing him on his shoulder "Rot from the inside out, feel the pain you cause my son"

"S-Son" The demon cupped his arm as is started to decompose

"The Kit is my child, you have done a terrible thing, now rot… die in pain" Kagome stabbed him in the chest one last time "Rot" Kagome whispered as she pulled the sword out and slowly walked towards the house, Sesshomaru had no pity on his guard for what they did to Shippo He followed Kagome towards the house Kagome collapsed on her knees and cried

"Kagome" Sesshomaru cautiously reached for her

"How…How could you not know what was happening" Kagome sobbed

"I…I have no excuse, I should have-"

"Because of you my child could die" Kagome turned and slapped Sesshomaru , he froze no one but his mother had every slapped him and lived "My child was beat nearly to death and you sat in you study and did nothing"

"I did not know"

"You are a great Daiyokia how could this go unnoticed" Kagome had cried more today then she had in her entire life "I-I trusted you and.. and you … you let my son" Kagome couldn't finisher her sentence, Sesshomaru didn't know what to do, he thought for a moment and remember something he had seen almost three hundred years ago


~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~


He remember he was walking thought the wood as a child when he heard a women crying, naturally he jumped in to the tree so he could go unnoticed, he watched as a women dropped to her knees crying much like Kagome when a man followed be hide her

"Leave me alone" She cried

"You are my wife, I cannot leave you alone"

"You have done enough, just stay away" She screamed and threw a rock catching him on the forehead

"I won't leave you" the man crouched down and cradled the women from behind

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" The women screamed

"I'm not going anywhere" The man held her tight "I love you" He whispered but Sesshomaru heard it

"I hate you" The women sobbed but she held the man as well, She didn't mean the words she spoke, she was hurt and the man did everything he could to comfort her in her time of need


~~~END FLASHBACK~~~


"Kagome" Sesshomaru whispered as hugged Kagome from behind wrapping his large arms around her body

"Stop it" Kagome sobbed "Leave me alone"

"I cannot" Sesshomaru laid his head against the back of Kagomes neck

"Don't…please…" Kagome dropped the sword and wrapped her hand around Sesshomarus forearms and cried harder

"I'm here" Sesshomaru whispered so low only Kagome could hear "I'm here"

"No" Kagome mouthed but could not speak… After what seemed like hours Kagome tears stopped and she passes out in his arms, Sesshomaru carefully picked up Kagome and his sword. He walked Kagome up to her room, but noticed the Kit sleeping in her bed 'When did you get here?' Sesshomaru stared to walk back out but figured Kagome would want to be with her child, so Sesshomaru walked over and placed Kagome next to Shippo and covered them with a large blanket.

As Sesshomaru pulled the blanket up something black in Kagomes hands caught his attention, He opened her hand to revile the inside of her palm burnt to a crisp, chunks of her skin missing reveling the bones in her fingers. Sesshomaru could also smell the open wounds on Shippo, and the sickness that would soon take over his body; he knew the Kits chances of survival were very low.

'He might not make it through the night' Sesshomaru thought as he sat next to the bed 'I'm sure Kagome knew of this, which is why she lost a part of her mind today, a part of her snapped' Sesshomaru would never admit it but even he was scared of Kagome.

Sesshomaru decided to stay with Kagome and Shippo till one of them awoke, Sesshomaru watched over Kagome until the next night, she started to become restless "Kagome?" Sesshomaru stroked her hair

"Sesshomaru?" Kagomes eyes were swollen from the amount of crying "Shippo?" Kagome panicked and shot up she looked to her left to see her sons chest rise up and down "Oh thank Kami" Kagome breathed a sigh of relief

"He still has a lot of healing to do and he will soon become sick, I can smell it in him" Sesshomaru figured he should be straight forwards with her

"I can heal him" Kagome pulled Shippos head on to her lap "It will be okay" Kagome kissed Shippos head. Sesshomaru watched as Kagome started to glow white, then touch her index finger to the center of his forehead, Sesshomaru watched as she pushed the light in to Shippo, His left eye returned to normal, the bruising on his right faded away, the whip marks slowly mended together, every last mark on his body faded away leaving him untouched and healthy again. "Now all he has to do is wake up" Kagome breathed then fell backwards, Sesshomaru caught her.

'She used too much energy and passed out again' Sesshomaru turned her and covered her with the blanket again. Sesshomaru decided it would be okay to leave them for now, he had to check up on Rin and get back to his study. As Sesshomaru entered Rins room her froze in confusion 'So Many colors'

"Hello Sesshomaru-sama" Rin was laying on her bed coloring "Where is Kagome-sama, She said we had school today but she never came to the garden"

"Kagome was…Sick, she is better now but needs her sleep" Sesshomaru knelt next to Rin "What are these?"

"Coloring books, Kagome-sama brought them to me, and these," Rin held up the half used Crayon box "are called Crayons, they have every color of the rainbow and on the back," Rin pointed to a tiny hole "Its call a sharpener, when the crayon looks like this" Rin Held up a blunt pink crayon "You put in here, and turn it like this… and look Sesshomaru-sama, its sharp again" Sesshomaru watched as Rin Explained all her drawings and why she colored them the way she did "Would you like to try Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Thank you but no Rin, I must get back to work." Sesshomaru stood "And it is time for you to go to bed"

"Right now?" Rin protested

"Yes now" Sesshomaru smirked

"Oh alright" Rin picked up her crayons and coloring books and laid them next to her math and science books on her small oak table

"Rin" Sesshomaru noticed the school books "What are those?"

"Kagome-sama said they were school books, Math and Science" Rin jumped in to her bed "I looked thought them but it looked really hard"

"Nonsense you just haven't learned how to do it yet" Sesshomaru tucked Rin and began to leave

"Wait!" Rin called out "What about my goodnight kiss?"

"What?" Sesshomaru froze

"Kagome-sama gives me a good night kiss, Why don't you?" Rin looked up at him with puppy dog eyes

"Uh" Sesshomaru was confused

Rin Giggled "Kagome always kisses my forehead before I go to sleep it's called a goodnight kiss"

"Oh" Sesshomaru was still unsure as he barely touched Rins head with his lips before snapping back up but Rin caught him giving him a kiss on the cheek "There goodnight" Sesshomaru cleard this throat

"Good night Sesshomaru-sama" Rin giggled as she laid back down; Sesshomaru blew her candles out only leaving one to burn.


A/N:: Sesshomaru is not used to being around kids, that's why he is a little awkward around Rin and soon to be around Shippo, He isn't used to any thing other than mature Demons. Kagome and Shippo are fine, and before you ask Kagome has not healed herself yet, she used all her healing powers for Shippo
