Chapter 6

By: Inumaru_Rapture

Kagome stood staring at the ocean hared, wheat furred tiger taiyoukai in front of her, shock playing over her features as her mind fast forwarded through their last meeting. The look of love and pride that had been locked forever in Sesshoumaru's eye flashed into her eyes as sudden pain enveloped her.

The Taiyoukai's ocean depths were wide, his voice stuttered in the unexpected shock. The children behind the matured miko glanced out from behind her blue slacks to see who the youkai was.

"My lady…How…You…?" Kagome blushed slightly.

"It's a long story, Lord Yohaka, ask Inuyasha, he could fill you in…" A cry of pain split the tension as Kagome turned and hurried into the hut without a further word, leaving the males in charge of the children. The rain had picked up from its drizzle, and was picking up speed and strength. Inuyasha looked around for something to shelter the children, but stifled a growl when Yohaka transformed into his large tiger form, laying down and providing shelter for the pups in his fur.

"Arigato, youkai-sama…" a small little boy with black hair, silver ears, a fluffy tail, and a purple crescent moon on his forehead said, his voice strong despite smelling nervous. The taiyoukai purred in response, keeping the pups warm and dry.

Inuyasha moved to sit in a tree near the taiyoukai's eye level, setting Kagome's and his nephew's bags on the branch next to him. The hanyou smelt of thought as the taiyoukai watched him gather himself into a calm state.

"Kagome is not from this time…" Inuyasha started, going into a brief overview of what had happened three years ago, where Kagome was from, and who the kids were, though Yohaka already knew, the marks are hereditary.

Elsewhere…

Kikyo glided over corpse frozen feet as she moved along the cold, hard boards of the wooden floors in Naraku's castle. Her senses have been tingling for the last three days, jewel shards had suddenly been detected to the southwest. Presumably, since Naraku had obtained all the jewel shards available and left in their time, the only logical explanation was that the damned reincarnation of hers had returned. After three long years, Kikyo would get her revenge…

Flashback…

Kikyo walked through the cool waters of the pool, her feet sinking ever lightly into the liquid dirt underneath them. Her frozen eyes were locked on the figure in red, whose back was to her. The last time she had seen the hanyou, she and Naraku deceived both Inuyasha and the reincarnation, Kagome, into hatred for the other.

Kikyo knew of Kagome's frolics with Inuyasha's brother, and decided to be the bearer of bad news.

"Inuyasha…" Kikyo's voice was cold, sudden hatred bubbling in her. Something was wrong. Inuyasha turned, his claws trembling for her blood. Kikyo felt sudden fear catch in her throat at the look of pure hatred in the hanyou's eyes.

"YOU! It's YOUR fucking fault Kagome left me for that bastard! It's Your Fault!!" Inuyasha cried, jumping to attack the dead miko. She dove out of the way, spraying water, drenching her clothes and hair. Inuyasha moved to attack again when Naraku's puppet fell to the water and attacked him, giving Kikyo time to escape. As she ran to Naraku, she heard Inuyasha's promise.

"I swear to my mother's grave, I will kill you Kikyo! I will take you from that fucked up mate of yours and hurt you like you hurt me! I swear it! Kikyo, Do you hear me?!"

End Flashback…

Kikyo's anger rose at the memory of those words. `How dare he threaten to kill me, after all the good I've done for him!?' Kikyo felt a growl and arms encircle her waist, a hard body part rubbing against her behind.

"How I love the smell of your anger and pain, miko," her mate snarled in her ear, biting her neck. Kikyo trembled in passion as her mind drifted away from the thoughts of the hanyou that once meant so much.

To the west…

A dull vibration ran through the lord. A group of people had come into his land not too long ago, as he paced his study, trying to shake off the rat bitch's words. His heart suddenly felt like it wasn't weighted down by a thousand bricks, and he didn't know why. His senses were locked away as he paced, wondering why his body had the energy to run, to fly over the clouds, to fight the hanyou Naraku with one hand…

His thoughts fluttered to the faceless woman…whose eyes he had remembered last night during a dream…their deep sapphire depths captured the breath in his throat as he remembered them. So full of live, love, happiness…things he hadn't felt or remembered even existed until he remembered her eyes.

Her…her…eyes….who was she now? What was her name?

`No…I've remembered her eyes but lost her name…what was her name?!'

The forest…

Hours had past, night had fallen and the rains lessened, as if some weight had been lifted. The pups laid on the moist fur of the youkai lord, their gentle breaths of sleep met the half-demon and youkai awaiting any news from inside the hut. Miroku, who had gone in with Sango at the beginning, was yet to emerge.

Inuyasha noticed the tiger taiyoukai had fallen into slumber, and decided to close his eyes when the cry of a baby met their ears. His eyes shot open, and he threw himself out of the tree, stepping cautiously towards the hut.

Keeping the children on his back with his tail, the taiyoukai stood in anticipation.

The sounds of the baby crying were soon soothed by soft noises, cooing.

Not too long later, the red panda youkai exited the hut, followed closely by Kagome. Both women looked exhausted, and sweat dripped off the sides of their faces. Nea looked to her mate and smiled, a gentle cooing, like that of a dove, left her lips as the youkai slowly descended back into human-like form.

Inuyasha hurried to Kagome and looked at her with an anticipation of news. Kagome hid a smile.

"Sango had a baby boy… He's healthy and strong, and they named him Kohaku." Kagome smiled as Inuyasha's face lost it's tension. He smiled and relaxed, nodding. Kagome looked towards the two youkai, each holding two children.

"We shall move you all to the palace. I'll send word to get rooms and food prepared," Yohaka spoke softly, so as not to wake the children. Kagome let out a tired sigh and nodded a thanks.

Later…

Kagome stood in the room granted to her by Lady Nea, who had helped the children into one room, Sango and Miroku into another, and Inuyasha into a fourth. She had taken a small bath, changed into the scarlet kimono left to her by one of the servants, checked on the sleeping angels next door, and paced her room, contemplating going to look for Sesshoumaru. Nea and Yohaka had insisted on her staying in the room, since the other youkai in the palace hated humans, and never met her, they wouldn't know who she was and would attack her.

With a snort, and no worry of her own well-fare, Kagome left the room, no weapons on her form, as she went towards the North Wing, the wing in which held the man she desired to see more than anything…

(Author's note: Should I be evil and end it here? Make you wait?… well Should I? Naw…I've been evil long enough…here's more for you. ^:^)

Kagome walked through the palace halls, the cold making her tremble and wish she had grabbed the shall on the bed. With her breath coming out in visible huffs, she arrived at the hallway of the North Wing. The spirit demon Ra came out of the wall, growling as she approached. Shifting the kimono, Kagome showed the mating mark on her shoulder, and Ra smiled.

"It's about time you returned, My Lady… Milord has been more than miserable…please…go to him. He is in his study," Ra spoke softly, letting Kagome pass.

Kagome hurried down the hallway, her socked feet sliding on the dusty ground. Once she got Sesshoumaru into a good mood, she'd have to have him clean this place up!

With a soft breath, she calmed her suddenly thumping heart.

Would he remember her? Would he want her back?

Gathering her strength, she knocked softly. A gruff, soft, sad voice answered.

"Go away, Jaken… I want no food tonight… Don't bother me again…" Kagome's breath caught in her throat, his voice was so forlorn!

Why hadn't she come back?! Why did she have to leave for so long?!

Re-gathering her strength, that had faltered into her feet, she reached for the doorknob and twisted it, pushing the door open. With a soft step, she was in the room. Her breath caught in her throat at the thin man standing by the window, his arm borne across the wall, holding his small frame from falling.

Sesshoumaru felt a growl tremble in his throat. The vibrations almost shaking his body apart.

"I told you not to bother me, you irritant, to…" He turned, his glare angry and miserable, his voice choked as he stared at her. `It's Her…Her…the woman! The woman I love! Her name? What's her name?' His knees wobbled, his claws clenching into the wall. `She has to be an illusion… I've lost it now… She can't be here… she never is going to return to me… ever…' He turned from her, his shoulders slumping, claws clenching the wall harder, making holes in the wood.

Kagome gasped as the sadness entered his eyes again. He turned from her without a word. `I've hurt him so badly… He won't want me back…'

"Sesshoumaru…"

A stifled gasp caught in his throat as his body stiffened, that voice! It was hers! He turned so quickly that he fell to his knees, his limps turned into liquid. Suddenly, before he could move again, she was standing in front of him. His head raised and stared at her in shock.

"Is it…really you?" His voice cracked as tears choked his eyes and throat. She nodded barely an inch before he had latched his arms around her, his head resting on her chest and shoulder. He trembled at her warmth, feeling her arms encircle him, her tears drop onto his exposed neck as she held onto him.

They were finally together!
