Kagome was packed and ready the next morning it was time for her journey to begin once more. At least this time she knew that she would have someone with her that would not abandon her or stab her in the back. With a bright smile she went to meet Sesshomaru at the front gates and was shocked when she saw Rin there.
Rin spotted her and with a huge grin ran at her full speed, "LADY KAGOME!"
With a smile Kagome caught the exuberant child in a firm embrace, "It has been a long time Rin how come I have not seen you since I have been here?"
Rin pulled back smile still in place, "Rin was at the western palace and came when Lord Sesshomaru sent a message to retrieve Rin. Rin will stay with Lady Sakura and Lady Megumi while Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru complete their mission."
Kagome gave Rin a kiss on the forehead, "I will see you when we return then."
Rin nodded her head enthusiastically and smiled once more when she spotted Lady Sakura and Lady Megumi coming to bid Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome farewell and a safe journey. Once goodbyes where said Sesshomaru formed his demonic cloud and held a hand out for Kagome making sure she was secure he took off into the sky. After they were a distance away from the castle in the sky Kagome sighed.
Sesshomaru looked at her, "What is bothering you Kagome?"
Kagome looked up at him, "I do not know what I will do if we see them on our journey. I know we will be bound to run into them since we are after the same thing."
Sesshomaru smirked, "This Sesshomaru believes you will give them exactly what they deserve."
Kagome grinned and had an evil glint in her eyes that had Sesshomaru a bit on edge, "Remember our deal Fluffy you cannot address yourself in the third person when in my presence otherwise I get to call you Fluffy for the whole day."
Sesshomaru growled, "That is only if we are not in the presence of the other Lords and Ladies otherwise you know I must speak that way."
Kagome giggled, "I know Fluffy but we are alone now so it is fair."
Sesshomaru huffed and looked away from her while Kagome's giggles increased. She had found that she was the only one besides Rin that could draw out his emotions so well.
Kagome became serous once more when she spoke again, "When we run into them again Inuyasha is mine you can deliver the finishing blow though."
Sesshomaru nodded his head and nuzzled her in thanks. She knew that he was the one that needed to end Inuyasha's life and was going to allow him to finish him off.
She smiled up at him, "I just hope we do not run into them for a while yet."
Sesshomaru simply nodded his head in agreement. What they did not know though is that they would be seeing Inuyasha and the others very soon.
