The rest of the week was pure bliss for the new couple. Every second together was like being on cloud nine for Kyo, and Kagome was in heaven. She had finally gotten her man. But the one thing that kept pricking at the back of her mind was, how long?
The thought broke her heart, but she was able to hide it from Kyo pretty well. Though Shigure had confronted her on a few occasions, considering that you can't hide feelings from dogs, they can smell it.
Kyo was in the yard training while Kagome was doing his laundry when Shigure came in.
"Kagome, may I speak with you?" She turned to the dog and nodded. She knew why he wanted to talk to her. They went to his office and sat down at the table he used as a desk.
"Well Shigure." He looked at her and gave a small smile.
"I'm happy for you and Kyo, and obviously so aren't the two of you. But I want to know why you don't seem to be 100% into it. I understand that you aren't over Sesshomaru, but that doesn't seem to be the problem." Kagome looked at her lap.
"Well, you see, I am happy. I really am, but." Kagome clenched her hands into fists. "I don't know how long this one will last. I had loved Inuyasha for months before I finally gave up, Sesshomaru and I were only together for a few months until we were forcefully parted." Shigure nodded. He understood the reason now. Kagome was worried that something would take Kyo from her.
"Kagome, don't worry too much about it. We are all here for you if you need us, and will all be here to help you in any struggles that may occur." Kagome smiled to the dog.
"I'd hug you, but we don't need a dog on the loose." Kagome giggled a little while Shigure chuckled. Kagome headed back to the laundry room. She was fine until she sensed a familiar presence that she really didn't want to deal with. Kagome stepped out onto the porch where Kyo looked at her smiling, then noticing her look off into the forest turned to look.
"What is it Kagome?"
"Shippo." Her son appeared next to her.
"Mother."
"Is HE still alive?" Shippo cocked his head.
"What do you mean?" Kagome turned her head to him slightly, not looking away from the direction she was currently looking.
"Ja-" Before she finished she saw the staff with two heads. Shippo got this look on his face as Kagome glared.
"Now where is she? I sensed her presence I know I did." Kagome picked up a rock and chucked it. There was a little yell and the sound of someone falling on the ground, as well as visibly seeing the staff fall.
"What the-"
"Who was that? Who dare throw a rock at me! Show yourself." Then out of the bushes came Jaken, Sesshomaru's little... Kagome wasn't even sure. "Oh! Lady Kagome! Lord Shippo! Hello." He smiled and bowed. Kagome glared at the little imp toad demon.
"Oh, him. Sorry mom, forgot about him."
"How could you forget about me! I was Lord Sesshomaru's personal-"
"Punching bag." He looked at Kagome.
"N-No!" Kagome glared more before stepping down. Diamond had come down to see the who's presence she sensed.
"Jaken, I don't have time for this, I have laundry to do. What is it?"
"Well, I am here to protect you! Since Lord Sesshomaru isn't able to. Remember, he told me to watch after you when he couldn't." Kagome's heart skipped a bit as she bared her teeth.
"As much as I respect Sesshomaru's wishes, we all know this, I can handle myself! I can still use my miko powers and bow. I also have Shippo and Diamond." Jaken cocked his head.
"Diamond?" Kagome let the little fire cat demon crawl onto her shoulder.
"Diamond." Jaken nodded.
"Well that may be so, but I won't go against M'Lords wishes." Kagome face palmed.
"Jaken, don't bother, I'm fine! I can take care of myself, Shippo and Diamond are with me, and..." Kagome blushed as she looked over to Kyo. "I have Kyo." Jaken looked to him as well.
"That scrawny human? Please, even that Shippo could have taken care of him when he was young." Kagome tapped her foot. But before she could say anything Kyo was cracking his knuckles.
"You wanna say that again ya little imp!" Jaken laughed at him and was about to adjust his staff into an attacking position when Kagome took it out of his hands and hit him with it.
"Jaken! That happens to be my boyfriend! And Kyo don't pick a fight with him, it's not worth it. He has no room to say considering he kept losing Rin." Kagome glared down at the green demon. He was rubbing the bump on his head with tears at the corner of his eyes.
"That hurt M'Lady." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Okay Jaken, to the extent of my knowledge there are only three demons alive today. I'm not to worried." Jaken glared and then undid the pack on his back that Kagome seemed to over look.
"I didn't just come here for that. I was told by Lord Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to give you these." He unraveled it to show Tenseiga and Tessaiga. Kagome put her hands to her lips.
"No way! The Tenseiga and the Tessaiga!" Jaken nodded.
"I was told to give them to you once I found you." Shippo remembered this.
Inuyasha didn't leave it to Shippo because he thought he'd use it. Still stubborn to the end. Sesshomaru was actually intrusted with it, since Inuyasha had no offspring, and was told to give it to Kagome because Inuyasha thought Sesshomaru would live that long. However he didn't, and his dying words were to gives the swords to Kagome, as well as protect the Sohma family.
Kyo kneeled down and looked at them.
"They look like junk to me." Kagome smiled and giggled a little.
"Yes, they do, but." Kagome picked up the Tessaiga and handed it to Shippo. As soon as he pulled it from its sheath, it transformed. The other members of the house, who gathered in the living room a while ago, were highly amazed.
"Whoa! It looks like... A fang"
"That's because it is. It was made by the fang of Inu no Taisho, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father. The Tenseiga is as well. The sword of heaven, and the sword of earth." Shippo sheathed Tessaiga and gave it back to his mother. She held them close to here.
"Well M'Lady." Kagome smiled.
"Thank you Jaken. This means a lot to me." Jaken nodded. Then looked to Shippo.
"I'm ready to help you now." The kitsune looked down and raised an eyebrow.
"You sure you can handle it? Some of them are psycho." Jaken nodded.
"One hit with my staff and they'll behave." Kagome giggled.
"Considering that's all it really takes to shut you up, I'm sure it'll work." Jaken looked at her and pouted a little, causing her to laugh harder. Soon the two demons left and Kagome went up to her room. She put the swords in her closet until she got a proper weapons rack for them. She also put a spell on them so that no one could touch them if they had negative intentions. Kyo came in and smiled to her.
"Hey Kagome, you ready?" Kagome turned around and nodded. He walked over and kissed her. Kagome melted into the kiss, but restrained from wrapping her arms around him. They parted and went downstairs so that Kagome could finish housework. Tohru smiled to the two. She was so happy for them.
Sorry if these aren't as interesting. I always seem to go downhill when I don't have anything to go by ^.^' But I hope you guys like it! =)
