Jaken pointed to Rin "Its Rin... I smell her blood... she is bleeding" he was panicking

Clam down, She is still sleeping, she doesn't look like she is in pain, I'll find out. Kagome stood and walked over to the sleeping child.

"Rin... Rin honey wake up" Kagome shook Rins arm

"Hmm" Rin rubbed her eyes

"Rin are you in pain" Kagome asked

Rin assessed her body and shook her head, Kagome thought for a minute and thought of something, Rin was 13 years old she was a teenage now, he body is starting to change.

"Jaken Please leave" kagome pushed the little demon out

"I can not, Rin is hurt and I must stay by her side other wise sesshomaru will kill me"

"Jaken look at me, Rin is not hurt, I will explain whats going on after I talk to Rin first"

"But-"

"Jaken I will deal with Sesshomaru when he comes back.. but for now Leave" Kagome shoved the green demon outside and turned to Rin who was highly confused

"Rin has your stomach been hurting at all" Kagome pointed toward her lower stomach Rin wouldn't know about ovaries and periods.

"Hmmm A little" Rin said honestly

"Okay Rin, I'm going to ask you to do something, it may seen a little weird but I need you to trust me"

"Okay"

Kagom walked over to the confused Rin and held out her hand "Stand up please" Rin took her hand and stood up "Now I'm going to undress you but its okay" Rin nodded as kagome untied her Kimono and pulled it off and confirmed what she has thought between Rin's legs was a blood soaked fundoshi

"OMG, Im bleeding!" Rin started to pull down her fundoshi so see the wound but kagome grabbed her hand

"Calm down.. Its okay.. its normal"

"Normal NORMAL, How is it normal to bleed?" Rin Was panicking but Kagome new this was also normal, during her first period she had asked her mother a thousand questions. Which it was now Kagomes turn to answer

"Rin look at me" She waited till Rin looked at her with tears in her eyes

"Am I going to die" a tear fell down her face.

Kagome whipped it away "No honey...Rin its okay this is part of becoming a woman, its called a period, every women gets one"

"Really" Rin Smiled " So this means I'm a woman now?"

Kagome smiled "In a way yes" kagome pulled Rin down to sit so they could have 'the talk'

"Neat"Rin said as she sat down "So whats a period?"

"Every women gets a period once" Kagome held up one finger "a month,It's a sign that a girl's body is capable of having a baby. Some women have cramps, moodiness and breast tenderness, but some people have no symptoms at all. The period usually lasts about seven days then it goes away and returns the next month.

Kagome Continued to Tell Rin all about the Birds and the bees, she answered all of Rins questions, she showed Rin what she needed to do when this happens again, so she would be prepared.

"Wow, Well thanks for telling me Kagome"

"Your very welcome Rin, JAKEN I know you were listening, could you please take us to the waterfall so rin can clean herself up" Kagome yelled towards the door

"Y-Yes Kagome" jaken was busted but at least she didn't have to repeat herself

"Lets go" Kagome grabbed Rins hand

Once they reached the waterfall Jaken turned around and sat on the ground to wait. Kagome cleaned her clothes and Rin Bath, the two girls giggled and talked while they worked.

**0**0**0**0**0**0**0**0**0****************************************

Sesshomaru went to find more food for the girls and Jaken to eat on, as Sesshomaru cleaned the meat and cut it into sections, he had already stole a salt box from a hut, he put the meat in the box as he heard someone behind him

"Hello, Koga" Sesshomaru said as he put the box in his pocket

"Its not like you to kill"

"Rin needs food" Sesshomaru stood

"You know that's not what I'm talking about" Koga spat

"Then what are you talking about pup this sesshomaru does not have time for games"

"The three men you killed, your scent is all over them"

"I owe you no explanation for my actions"

"You do when they involve Kagome scent and a puddle of her blood" Koga was pissed "WHERE IS KAGOME"

"She is fine"

"That doesn't answer my question Mutt"

"She is will Rin and Jaken Sleeping" Sesshoomaru was tired for playing games with the wolf

"Take me to her"

"Fine"

Koga was surprised by how compliant Sesshomaru was, he followed Sessehomaru to the small hut It was quite, both demon inhaled and smelled Rins Blood

"Shit" sesshomaru spat as he has toward the Waterfall were her scent lead

"What happened here" Koga asked as he ran beside the inu-demon

"I don't know, I was busy talking to you"

"Well Kagoome is with her, I can smell her"

"Good now leave"

"Not likely"

Both demons reached the waterfall in no time they saw Jaken sitting on the ground facing them, then they saw Rin playing in the water and Kagome Laughing scrubbing somthing in her hands

"Sesshomaru-sama" Jaken yelled and both girls stopped laughing

"Are you okay Rin?"

"Y-Yes" Rin yelled

"Why are you bleeding"

"well Umm." Rin started but kagome stepped in

"I'll handle this" Kagome soothed Rin

Sesshomaru was seeing red as he grabbed the little green demon by his head " I told you, if you ever pulled this shit again I would leave you to die, did you think I was joking, did you think I wouldn't stand by my word" he squeezed

"Y-you Dont-t Undertstandddddddddd"Jaken screamed

Kagome ran to Sesshomaru "Leave him alone he didn't do this or anything" sesshomaru didn't move "DROP HIM NOW" Kagome sounded like a master talking to his pet.

Sesshomaru eventually let go of Jaken, and he ran and hid behind kagome "Tell me NOW" He ordered

"Clam down, she is fine, she became a women today" Kagome still sounded mad

"What the fuck are you talking about" Sesshomaru asked

"Really do I have to spell it out for you.. She got her period, you know when women bleed once a month-" Kagome was going off on a rant but Koga was the one to cut her off

"That's enough Kagome" He yelled

"And you, What are you doing here" Kagome still in her ranting voice

"Hey, I camd to see if you were okay" Koga backed up

"Of course I am...okay"

"Well how the hell am I supposed to know when I see three dead men and smell a bunch of your blood, I thought you were dead"

Kagome blinked "dead" She turned to Sesshomaru "You killed them?"

"I-I did what had to be done" Sesshomaru stated

"I'll get back to you" she turned back to koga "I'm fine, Sesshomaru saved me and apperentlty killed for me.. Thank you for worrying now I have to get back to Rin"

"O-okay, guess I'll see you again... hopefully soon" And with that koga dashed into the woods.

Kagome walked back to Rin with jaken close behind for protection and handed her the clothes, Rin quickly got dressed, and stepped behind Kagome along with Jaken.. neither of them looking at Sesshomaru, Kagome stared him down as he did her.. She walked the two back to the hut and ordered them to sleep.. Kagome waited for Sesshomaru

After a few minutes he walked out of the woods, Kagome was standing a few feet from the hut staring at the sky

"I've never heard you speak in such a manner" Sesshomaru spoke as he walked to stand next to her

"there is a lot of things you never seen or heard" Kagome smiled still looking at the sky

"I did want to thank you for taking care of Rin" Sesshomaru looked up at the sky with kagome

"Its was nothing, its what every women does" Kagome surged

Sesshomaru chuckled "Still thank you, I wouldn't have know what do to tonight if it wasn't for you"

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru "Well then its a good thing you found me and brought me here"

"Yes indeed" Sesshomaru agreed

"But there is one thing I must ask, Rin told me Sango was worried, may I go and tell her I'm fine, I'll come back, it will only take a few hours"

"Do not come back here" Sesshomaru did not look at kagome

"What.. but I thought" Kagomes heart dropped

"Take Ah-un, go to the village, see your friend, then tell Ah-un to take you home"

"but I have no home" Kagome was confused

"You do now" Sesshomaru grabbed Kagomes hand and looked her in the eyes "My home is now your home.. If you want"

"What are you saying?" Kagome asked

"Do I have to spell it out for you" He quoted Kagome " I want to be with you, you have proved yourself to me, you are strong and independent, you would make a great Lady of the Western Lands and a soon to be demoness, if you accept me"

"And when did you decided this" Kagome was blushing

"When you stood up to me, not only today but every other time"

"I see" Kagome turned and wrapped her arms around Sesshomarus waist "Well you'll have to wait to see my answer" She stood up on her toes, And kissed Sesshomaru. He grabbed her face and kissed her back. Kagomes giggle broke this kiss

"See ya" Kagome kissed him on the cheek then ran off to Ah-un

Sesshomaru was confident that she would return to him but she was always surprised him, so like she said he would have to wait, He returned to the hut to let Rin and Jaken sleep and in the morning he would take them to his home.

****0******0*******0******0******0****0*******0****0******

Kagome Had never rode on Ah-un before 'Can't be harder than riding Kirara' She walked up to Ah-un and rubbed down his side "Will you take me to the village you took rin to?" Ah-un shook his had saying that he would, Kagome thanked the 2-headed beast and climbed on his back "Okay Lets go" Kagome was nervous as Ah-un lifted off the ground, and flew into the night sky towards the villge.. Kagome was confused when Ah-un stopped a little ways from the village but her confusion was cleared up when she remember Rin was only supposed to see Sango, and to stay away from Inuyasha and Kikyo, so it would make since that she would keep the two-headed beast outside of the village Inuyasha wouldn't notice or care since it wasn't a threat.

"I'll be back. stay here Please" Kagome asked and Ah-un Nodded in agreement, then laid down to sleep "Thank you"

Kagome walked a short distance through the woods and reached the Villages edge, She spotted her old hut and walked inside, it was dark and cold, she felt a little bad for leaving this hut to rot away, she sat on the floor for a second reliving her life here, all the fights, The make-ups, The laughs and the Tears, Kagome Smiled at her memory's, by this time tomorrow her life would be completely different, Of course she choose Sesshomaru, he was her perfect match, he challenged her and kept her on her toes, He may no be romantic or spontaneous but he was hers and no one elses.

Kagome Snapped out of her little dream world when she heard Inuyasha Walking by.

"God she makes me so angry" Inuyasha was bitching "Inuyasha do this, Inuyasha do that. how about you do it your damn self and leave me the hell alone!" Inuyasha kept bitching as he walked, Kagome couldn't hear him anymore as he disappeared

"Well I'm glad your happy as well" Kagome got up and Walked over to the sleeping Miroku and Sangos hut, Kagome quietly walked into their hut, she saw Sango and Mioku cuddled up on the right side of the hut and Shippo Snoring on the left side, She slowly crawled over to shippo's side, Kagome tickled his nose... shippo shaked his nose.. Kagome tickled it again, Shippo opened his eyes in irritation but was in shock as he saw Kagomes smiling face "I told you I would come back for you" She Whisperer

"I knew you would" Shippo jumped up and hugged Kagome

"Shippo" Sango rubbed her eyes

Kagome quietly crawled over to sango and kissed her on the cheek "No love its meeee" Kagome giggled

"KAGOME"Sango yelled and Miroku jumped up

"Ouch sango, no need to yell" Miroku Snapped

"Im sorry, I'm just so excited, Kagomes here"

"Kagome" Miroku blinked again and saw kagome smiling face "Well its about time, Inuyasha is starting to catch on to your lies"

"No need to worry anymore, tell him I'm gone" Kagome laughed

"Why the change, I mean obviously you have found a place to live since you came back for Shippo" Miroku

"Well yes and no"

"Care you explain?"

"If I give my heart to a man, I will have a house" Kagome knew they would freak out and that's what she wanted, she felt like she was in a playful mood

"WHAT" Sango yelled

"DON'T DO IT" Shippo Yelled

"its not what you think-"Kagome started but Inuyasha ran in

"Miroku your lieing about... Kagome?"

"Hello Inuyasha" Kagome smiled

"Where the hell have you been"

"Right here?" Kagome looked confused

"No you haven't, your scent is gone and I haven't seen you in days"

"Maybe I didn't want you to see me"

"What are you talking about" He spat

"Inuyasha I put up a barrier, it cut off my scent, and I only took it down when I wanted to" Kagome rolled her eyes "its not that hard to figure out"

"Why would you want to hide from me" Inuyasha face fell

"Inuyasha I'm leaving, I was just giving you time to adjust to life with out me"

"Why. what. When"

"Because I want to live my life, you have yours starting and I want to start mine. and I'm leaving tomorrow"

Inuyasha ran out

"Oh well" Kagome surged

"Are you really leaving tomorrow?" Sango asked

"Yes, now as I was saying before I was interrupted, I have been with Sesshomaru for a while now, and he asked asked me to become his mate, to live with him in his castle. All I have to do is tell Ah-un to take me home and I will be there." Kagome smiled

"I'm still a little confused. to be honest" miroku scratched his head.

"Sesshomaru asked me to be his mate, I told him I would give him my answer tomorrow, sooo if I show up at his house tomorrow it means I accept his proposal" Kagome laughed "Get it now"

"Where does he live" Sango asked "I would like to visit you"

"Honestly I don't know, That's why I have Ah-un to take me there"

"Do you think we could follow you"

"I don't see why not" Kagome could hear small sobs from the Fox demon "Whats wrong shippo"

"Y-Your Not here for m-me are y-you" Shippo talked between sobs

"Shippo" Kagome scooped up the child in her arms "You are the main reason I came back, other than to tell Sango and Miroku my plans.. But Shippo do you know what I was thinking on the way here"

Shippo whipped his nose "What"

"How much I missed you" Kagome hugged shippo "I'll never leave you again"

"awww" Sango and Miroku said together

"Well Kagome, Since you and shippo are both leaving we will stay and make sure Inuyasha doesn't do anything to spoil your happiness"

"Don't tell him I'm mated or living with Sesshomaru.. just tell him I'm happy wondering the country side" Kagome rolled her eyes with a smile

They four talked non stop about what had happened to each of them over the past week and a half, Kagome told sango what really happened that night Rin asked for herbs, Shippo told Kagome how Miroku taugh him how to swim underwater, Sango and Miroku both announce they were having a baby. The conversations lead into the next morning, just non stop back and forth... When the sun peaked through the window, Kagome knew she had kept Sesshomaru waiting long enough, She told her friends to met her in the near by woods were Ah-un was patiently waiting, Kagome Stepped outside and began to walk through the village when she noticed she was begin followed

Kagome Turned around and was surprised by was she saw "Kikyo?" Kagome smiled in shook as Kikyo walked up to her

"Its about time you left" Kikyo spat "There is no need for two priestess in the same village"

"Well I'm glad I could make room for you" Kagome smirked back

"You were always clouding his judgment, He couldn't take three steps with out wondering where you were" Kikyo smriked " I told him you were probably dead, at least that's what I was hopping"

"Well sorry to disappoint"

"Oh no disappointment here, your still leaving"Kikyo took another step forward "If Inuyasha wasn't watching I would be jumping for joy and dance as you left"

"Well if he is watching he can probably hear what you have said.. but I can feel the barrier around us, he can see but can't hear, your not as dumb as you look kikyo"

"Well in any other case I wouldn't care, but seeing in how its you, and I don't want to fight later, so I'll keep this quite"

"So the clay pot is some what of a lady after all, who would have guessed" Kagome smirked back at her

"hah no matter you will be gone shortly and I will have inuyasha all to myself once again"

"Have at him.. He is all yours"

"What you don't want him anymore, after what 5 years of being with him, are you saying you have finally given up on him? and learned your place beneath me"

"I have found someone else, so you can keep the Hanyou" Kagome laughed "You two were meant to be together, both cold and stupid"

"you still want him" Kikyo teased " But he choose me NOT you, so your putting on a brave face and trying to keep what little pride you have" Kikyo poked her chest

Kagome thought about punching her, she even thought about breaking her clay face, would it crumble up? chip off... but Like Kikyo said Inuyasha was watching "Listen to me you little dried up clay pot, I don't want him anymore. I honestly don't know what I saw him in the first place, keep him forever and ever because I. DON'T. WANT. HIM" Kagome Smiled and laughed "Have a wonderful life" And with that Kagome turned and left Kikyo's barrier.

"We will see" Kikyo yelled but Kagome just waved..

Kagome was almost to Ah-un as Inuyasha caught up with her.

"Don't leave me" He begged

"Why not you have left me plenty of times" Kagome said not looking at the hanyou

"Please Kagome, I don't want to lose you"

Kagome stopped "Inuyasha you lost me when you chose her" Kagome placed a hand on Inuyasha chest over his heart "I will always be with you in here"

"That's not good enough for me"

"That's all I can do for you, I can't be with you anymore, I'm sorry, I have to go"

Inuyasha ran with tears in his eyes, Kagome watched as he jumped in to the trees, feeling his Aura fading

"Good bye Inuyasha" Kagome turned and found Ah-un who was waiting along with Sango, Miroku, shippo and Kirara

"Are you ready Kagome" Sango asked

"Yes I am" Kagome Climbed on Ah-un's Back "Umm Take me home Please" Kagome asked the two-headed beast and he nodded

With Kagome on his back Ah-un Rasied into the sky and shot upward with Kirara easily following

"I wonder where we are going?" Miroku asked

"No idea" Sango answered.

They keep flying upwards until they reached a long white cloud, Ah-un flew the length of the cloud. on occasions the gang could see pieces of a castle, and from what they could see Sesshomaru's Castle out ranked any humans castle with out a doubt. Ah-un finally touched the gound letting Kagome climb off, She stare at the Magnificent sight before, her jaw dropped at the sight, she didn't hear Sango, Mirok standing next to her haveing the same look on their faces

"Is this were he lives" Sango finaly spoke

"It can't be, its easily 20 times the size of a normal castel if not more" Miroku added

" I knew he was a lord was I didn't know he was this much of a lord" Shippo added

Kagome was silent she was in shock, Could this really be hers, every little girl dreamed to live in a castle but did her dream become into a reality?

"So it seems you have made your choice" A small seductive female voice came from the castel.
