Changes on the wind

 

 

Silent as ever the small raven haired girl, as well as a Youki Imp, and a two headed dragon followed Sesshoumaru through the next village. The child spotted some of the fresh fruits.

“Milord, may I go and get some fruits? This Rin is hungry.” She asked ever so politely.

“FOOLISH GIRL WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE…”

“Jaken let her be and keep an eye on her.” Lord Sesshoumaru ordered harshly with annoyance added to his voice.

“Yes Milord,” Jaken said following the girl.

“Why is it that I get stuck with you?” Rin just hung her head without a word. “Get a move on!” Jaken hissed smacking his Staff of two heads a crossed her head if it hurt Jaken couldn't tell as the child did not make any sound or emotion toward the pain. She just gathered her food and headed back to the clearing where Sesshoumaru was still waiting. He eyed her but thought that maybe a branch or something had hit her.

“Milord, I brought you some of the fruits as well. She told him her bubbly personality coming back. I hope you like. I'll put it in the saddle bag incase you wish for it later.” She told him with her sweet smile. Something else she had learned from her life being an orphan.

 

“Hey Kagome!” The woman turned to her friends running up the side walk of her time.

“Hi guys, what's up?” She asked.

“Was wondering what was up these days.”

“Not much just been busy with the trips and things.”

“You really like it there don't you?” Kagome nodded in answer to the question.

“I do. It's actually InuYasha's homeland.” Kagome said as she walked into a clothing department store for children and infants.

“Kagome why are you coming in here?” Eri asked.

“Oh there's a special little boy there that's won my heart. InuYasha and I are adopting him right now.”

“WHAT?!” All three girls gasped.

“Yes its in the final processes. He'll come and live with me until I'm finished with school with the occasional visit with InuYasha. Then InuYasha and I are getting married. Its already been decided. And we've been talking about it for the past two years. And the child has been hanging around us for so long that it's the best for us all. See his birth family is dead. And he loves the two of us as if we were his parents and we do as if he was our very own. My mom's already alright with it.” Kagome said holding up and outfit that would fit a nine month old child.

“She is? And how is he going to be wearing that if he's been traveling with you for two years how old is he?”

“He's 9 but extremely small. Its normal in his race for him to be this small. But doesn't mean I can not get him things that are cute and he can wear while he's here. “ Kagome said putting that and several other outfits and other clothing into a cart. Picking up as many blankets as she could in the process. That's all for here I guess. Now for the toys. He's gotta have his toys, children like those things and need them. And I KNOW he needs them.”

“Are you really sure you wanna do this though?” Yuka asked.

“I'm sure of it we've been talking about it for so long and he'll be here later tonight. Everyone is so excited. Even Sota he's excited about being an uncle to my new son. Now I need to finish what I'm doing so I can get home.” Kagome said fast.

“Can we come see him?”

“Not right now its just the family right now. Maybe some other time. But right now its just a family affair”

“That's not right we should be permitted as well.” Eri pleaded.

“No not right now I don't need him over excited with things not to badly anyways.” Kagome said as she carried her bags out to the car.”

“Thanks mom, did Shippo come by yet?”

“No not yet he should be here soon though.” Her mom said grinning.

“I have all kinds of things for him clothes and toys. Even have gift wrap to put them in.”

“I'm proud of you Kagome. For taking up this role something you did not have to do but chose to.”

“I know I wanted to. I love him mom he's a special little boy.” Kagome said with the door shut.

“Before we stop at home though I need to stop and get him some sweets I think it will be alright for him to have a little more then I normally give him. And I need to pick up something else for him something a little more personal.”

“What's that dear?”

“Just something because of other things that are going to be changing a bit.”

“Really what kinds?”

“He already knows I'm not going to let him get away with some of the things I had before because I didn't feel it was my right because I was not his parent yet. So those ways are changes.”

 

“InuYasha is it not time yet come on tell me please!” Shippo begged “I wanna go to her world now.”

“And Kagome's not even home from her tests yet, she will be in a bit then we'll go.”

“But,”

“Sit down and shut up.” InuYasha snapped. “

“InuYasha what are you going to be doing while I'm staying with Kagome?”

“Building a hut right here with the well so that she still has the freedom to go back and forth easier. You know I'm going to be mating her after I'm finished right?”

“Yes and your both going to be my parents at the same time.”

“That's right and then were going to settle in as a family, even though we will be traveling and trying to find the Jewel Shards and destroying Naraku still.”

“Not, that I'm ungrateful but why didn't you wait until you defeated him?”

“Because we never know what's going to happen. Besides we don't want to wait.” InuYasha said as he found Kagome climbing through the well.

“Are you two coming?”

“We're coming Shippo and I we were just talking.”

“I see are you ready to come on to my time?”

“Yeah!” Shippo squealed

“Brats been bugging me about it all day.” InuYasha groaned.

“I told you it would be after I got done with school for the day.” Kagome said. “Remember you get to call me mom now or what ever you wanna use.” She told me. And I have gifts for you, and a lot of them. Some for you as well InuYasha.”

“Gifts?” Kagome nodded smiling.

“Yes, gifts. Presents to welcome you both to our family even more. Now you are fully apart of it. My mom and the others have also given you presents. There's also a large dinner for all three of us. Come on its time. The foods going to get cold.” Kagome told him.

InuYasha nodded and started after the well as Kagome gathered Shippo into her arms. And followed.

 

“Move it RIN!” Jaken hissed slapping her back with his staff, “We are to get to Lord Sesshoumaru now before it gets late! He said to be back by him by dark.” Rin didn't say anything just walked on towards the large demon lord. She walked over to him without a sound or word.

“Sorry milord but Rin was taking to long, I had to make her move faster.” Sesshoumaru said nothing but walked on. They both hurried as fast as they could. Though the small girl was having trouble due to the wounds.

“Rin you need to keep up.”

“Yes Milord” She said pained a bit.

“Rin are you wounded?”

“A bit milord Rin fell earlier.” She told him hoping he didn't smell that she was being untruthful. He did but decided not to push it. Though he was starting to wonder about this new behavior of hers. This was not like her. Sesshoumaru didn't say much to it but to the child's surprise he picked her up and started carrying him normally he would have had Au Un do it but he wasn't with them at the moment. Rin didn't say anything to that though just let him do as he wished. This never happened and she wanted to take advantage of it. She closed her eyes feeling safer and permitted herself to fall asleep.

“Milord if I might be so forward to ask where we heading?” Jaken asked.

“I see no need to keep traveling right now so were going home.”

“Home?”

“Yes back to my palace.”

“Your palace?”

“Do you disapprove Jaken?”

“No Milord just stunned that's all you haven't been there in over 150 years.”

“As I am aware of Jaken, but its time I do go back.” The imp said nothing just followed like he was supposing to.

 

“Mom we're back!” Kagome called out as she carried Shippo in.

“So this is the little one that stole your heart.”

“Hey, I didn't steal anything not this time anyways. I only stole once and that was when I first met Kagome and InuYasha!” InuYasha's fist connected with Shippo's head

“OW what was that for?”

“Stop snapping like that she was just saying an expression.”

“Oh, but did you have to hit me InuYasha?”

“You want me to do more?”

“No.”

“InuYasha that's enough, Shippo stop it or I'll make you go to bed after dinner without you new presents.” Kagome warned. The small fox eyed her. But backed down.

“Come on, dinners ready, we have anything you'd like tonight since it is a celebration.”

“Thanks mom.”

“No problem Kagome,”

“Shippo, come on we can go wash up really fast then we can eat.”

“Wash up?”

“Yes we wash our hands here before we eat.”

“Like you have me do with some of the bottled water before we eat back there?”

“That's right. A lot of things are done the same but some are done differently then they are there.” Kagome told Shippo. He nodded and ran behind her to do as she asked. Kagome's mom had to laugh a bit.

“He's cute,”

“Don't let him know that too much or he'll try and use it against you.” InuYasha told her seriously. “He's really bad about that.”

“I see, though most kids need to hear it once in a while so they know that they're loved and cared about. It does so much for a child to hear it and to hear how important they are to their parents and the others that care for them. Helps them to thrive and turn into the adult you want them to.” InuYasha stared not sure what to do with that but he did sit down and wait for Kagome and Shippo to walk in. Shippo stared at the chairs, as he had never seen them before.

“What's this?”

“It's called a chair we use them sometimes. We have a special one for you that way you can eat at the table as well, without a problem. We use don't use the floor as much as some do. It's just a choice in families any more. We choose not to.”

“Oh,” He said as he climbed into the tall chair that was in the middle of both InuYasha and Kagome. His small eyes went as wide as he could unbelieving that he had ever seen so much food before.

“What would you like to eat Shippo; we have fish, chicken, pork, shrimp, Lobster, beef for meat.”

“What's Lobster?” Shippo asked, As InuYasha did at the same time, she smiled and put a little claw on his plate, Shippo stared at it,

“What kind of rice would you like? We have fried and we have white.”

“Kagome can I have some of everything?” The small one said his eyes bigger then his stomach.

“Alright I don't see why, she said putting a spoonful of each on a plate for him. Before getting her own. She noted that InuYasha was already after the steak, and noodles. She had to laugh at that.

“Sis, so this makes me his Uncle now right?”

“Yeah,”

“So I get to spoil him right, I get to do things with him that others don't”

“You turn him into a brat and you'll answer to me kid,” InuYasha warned before anyone could answer. The boy paled but nodded.

The hanyou smirked and leaned back.

“InuYasha that was mean,” Kagome said annoyed a bit. “Sota you can spoil him a bit but not really bad alright, Some things you'll still need to ask me or InuYasha about doing with him but not everything.”

“Alright I can deal with that.” Sota said taking a bite of rice. Kagome nodded and started to eat as well. She looked over the kitsune was wearing most of the rice, he picked up the lobster claw and bit in,

“EW that things gross,” She had to stop herself from laughing as she picked hers up, watch Shippo you use this thing and you use it to crack it open and eat the meat in the middle.”

“It's GOOD!” he said once he got through.”

“You do like it?”

“Yeah, can I have more?”

“Soon Shippo finish the other stuff on your plate first though.” Kagome said the kid pouted but like she thought it wasn't long before he slowed down getting full from the meal. He sat back mimicking InuYasha's own way of sitting back when he was full.

“Sota, are you finished?”

“Yeah,”

“Maybe you could help Shippo with a bath, and get dress again in one of the new things I got him. I have it set out in my room while I help get things cleaned up.”

“K” The boy said jumping up. Shippo climbed down following Sota.

 

Rin woke not in her lord's arm where she fell asleep, but in really soft bed. She felt warm from the blankets that were on top. Her eyes wondered around as she found she was in a fancy room. Getting up her she realized that she was not in her kimono, but in a sleep one.

Slowly she walked out looking around to see if she could tell where she was.

“Greetings child, I see you've waken. Lets get you cleaned up, and fed. Lord Sesshoumaru is in his chambers working on something's for his announcement to the empire that he has returned.”

“Excuse me milady but what do you mean by returned to his empire?”

“My dear, your in Lord Sesshoumaru's Palace.”

“We are in his home?” The child gasped out loud.

“Yes my dear. And what shall I call you?”

“You can call me Rin if you want though.”

“You are a polite thing aren't you dear?” The girl smiled sweetly and cursied

“Thank you Milady, and who might you be?”

“I'm Nana little one, I'll be tending to you when Lord Sesshoumaru is out and can not take you with him. He decided that you should be some where your not going to be in danger, and be able to get a real meal at the correct meal time.” Nana said leading Rin to her own bath chamber.

“Did someone put a whole swimming whole in for this Rin?”

“No sweet one no, this is your own bath, its always filled you just need someone to heat for you every so often. So that its not cold.

“Oh I see.” Rin replied, “So how's that work?”

“You put the wood in this door or if need to you poke it with the sticks, and sometimes you need to have someone blow the fire for you, how ever if you try to do this on your own you'll end up with your own little fire.” Rin winced, She didn't fully understand what that meant but did not want to find out.

“Would you care to go ahead and see if the waters warm enough for you little one?”
“Yes Ma'am.” The child said getting in without question. Nana grinned the old woman was going to love having this child around.

“Its perfect Lady Nana.”

“Sweet one you not have to call me Lady Nana, you can just call me Nana or Granny Nana.”

“Thank you Granny Nana.” The child said sitting back as the elder had started to scrub the child's back for her.

“So what service are you for Lord Sesshoumaru?”

“My dear I do many things for him have since the day he was born.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I've been his and InuYasha's wet nurse, as well as their nanny's thankfully one at a time though, I'm also the cook.”

“Oh my you do a lot around here.”

“Oh I do, and now I am your nanny. I am wondering how did you when that stubborn dog's heart?”

“That I do not know, He was injured and I tried to help but he refused it. Then revived me when I was killed by wolves.” Nana nodded at this response as she helped the child clean up before she handed her a fresh kimono.

“These are soft!”

“They're made right here in the palace by our own seamstress's silk worms.”

“Neat.” The child gasped,

“Come lets get you a meal then Lord Sesshoumaru would like to see you.”

“Alright, where do I go to get the fruits?”

“No need to go find your own I'm making your breakfast as we speak.”

“Yes Ma'am” the child said walking off behind her. Rin stared in awe at the large dinning room. She couldn't help it she had to do it,

“HEELLLOO, ECHO!” she called out trying to see if the room had an echo. Nana couldn't help but laugh at this.

“Go ahead and have a seat at one of the spots.” The child did so sitting on the cushions and waited for the meal to be brought her.

“Thank you very much!” The child said staring at the amount brought out. “There's so much are you going to join me?”

“No dear I've already eaten. So has everyone else we were instructed to let you sleep this time.”

After finishing a meal bigger then she had ever seen in her life she started down the halls looking for Sesshoumaru where ever with the instructions that nana had given her. The girl looked around only to get lost in the place. Finding an hall that seemed to have been unused for a long time. She thought for a moment, before opening the door or at least starting to.

“Rin what are you doing?” The child nearly jumped out of her skin, as she turned.

“Lord Sesshoumaru, I … I…”

“You are NEVER to come into this wing again.”

“Yes milord Sorry I just got lost trying to find you.”

“Come we have much to talk about of what is expected while you are in this palace.”

“Yes milord.”

 

InuYasha woke looking at his new pup and Kagome resting together. He stood and stretched before waking the human woman.

“Kagome I need to head off already I'll see you when you get back to my time, one month from now.” She nodded and did something he had not expected she reached up and pulled him close before pressing her lips to his. Letting him leave in shock. That he did too as he jumped down the well and started running through the woods chopping down wood for lumber. And starting the long process of making the home that he had though would be best for his new family. By nightfall InuYasha had enough lumber to make a large place. He went ahead with starting the process of laying everything out . Getting it ready to make sure it was ready to have something to make it ready for anything that came up. He was hoping that he could have everything ready for the new family. Getting the mud and stone mixed in by the next morning InuYasha filled the cracks and knots before deciding on one other thing to add to it he screeched out his Adamant Barrage attack before going and taking all the diamond that came from and melted it into a really hot fire, when Miroku walked up.

“What are you doing InuYasha?”

“Putting this on the hut so that it stands firm enough for about anything.”

“I see.” He said “I'll help so it takes less time for you.”

“NO, I'll do it myself damn it!”

“But wouldn't it be easier and faster?”

“Listen here monk I don't need any help to get this up for MY mate and pup, go worry about your own.” InuYasha hissed.

“But would it not be easier to get that stuff on with someone else stirring it?”

“I can handle it Miroku now get out of here.” InuYasha growled harshly slapping the first hot batch on to the cracks covering the mud and stone.

 

“But Kagome why can't I go with you I don't want you to go!” Shippo whined as Kagome tried to walk out the door for school.

“Shippo you wouldn't have any fun there, you would have to sit still for a long time without talking while listening for others talking about things. And you may not like some of them but there's nothing you can do about it.” She said sitting down to put her shoes on. She went to grab them only to see that they were not sitting in their spot.

“Shippo give them here.”

“Give what here?” he asked giving his I'm sweet and two innocent look.

“Shippo, I know darn well it's you that took my shoes give them back right now.” Kagome told him sternly.

“But...”

“Shippo right now” Kagome said in a firmer tone.

“But I don't have them.”

“Where did you put them?” She asked standing up.

“If I tell you then you'll leave.”

“Shippo my mom and grandpa will be here still.”

“But I don't want them I want you Mommy!” he cried out. Kagome stopped in her tracks. “What did you just call me?”

“Mommy and I want you and only you.” He pleaded. Kagome hugged him tight.

“I'm happy you called me Mommy, but listen I have to go to school its really important right now and its not just for me. It's also for you and InuYasha. I'm doing it so that I can finish up in another school and learn how to treat you guys when you're sick and hurt. That way I can intervene better then what Kaede does with her herbs and healings. They'll teach me something's that you and InuYasha would not even know about taking care of your bodies.”

“How would they know how to take care of my body when that's what it is, MINE!”

“They don't know yours directly but they do know how to treat it if something makes you sick or injured and will know ways of getting poisons and sicknesses out of you faster.”

“Oh,”

“Do you understand now?”

“I think so.”

“So can you please go get me my shoes?”

“No”

“Why not?”

“Because I don't want you to go!” he wailed out throwing himself on her. “I want you to stay here with me!” Kagome looked at her mom who just walked in the room with her shoes.

“I found them outside this morning Kagome.” Kagome nodded. Holding onto her crying son.

“Kagome, hand him here and go on.”

“NO, NO, NO!” Shippo cried out!

“Go head and hand him over he'll cry but Shippo will be fine trust me I went through this with both you and Sota don't worry.”

“If you're sure…”

“I'm sure Kagome go ahead.” Kagome handed him over to her mom.

“Mom maybe I should stay here. He's not use to you mom.”

“But what about your exams?”

“Well I'm not going to be living in this time right, and maybe you could come up with another reason I can not go and just have my work brought to me.”

“You need to go take those there.”

“Then maybe,…. Shippo look at me.”

“What?”

“Make you a deal, if you can stay with my mom all day without trouble, I'll take you with me tomorrow is that a deal?”

“Honestly?”

“Have I ever broke a promise before?”

“No”

“Then why would I now?”

“Don't know.”

“Then trust me.”

“Alright. I guess I can do that for you Kagome.”

“That's my good boy.” Kagome said before running out. She could hear the boy's wails. She winced but decided to stick to her word.

“Hi guy's sorry I was late was having trouble getting out the door.” She said reaching into her bag.

“Oh no my shoes there not in there, I must have forgot them.”

“So you really are starting to turn into an old woman are you Kagome?”

“and what does THAT mean Eri?” Kagome hissed.

“Your starting to loose your memory?”

“No being a mother has nothing to do with that in fact that's one of the best parts of my life now. Shippo is the best part of my life now. I think in the hustle I just forgot them that's all. Kagome said with a glare and I will not let you talk bad about my being a mom or about my son.” She hissed walking into the classroom ahead of the group. She sat waiting for the test to be over with. Wanting the day to hurry so she could get home and back to her mother son bonding instead of being just Shippo's friend. As they sat there and listened Kagome. Stared stunned at the board seeing it blink once. She shook her head thinking she had just been in one to many battles lately. She needed this break. Though she loved the past the battles were getting to be a little tiring at times. She shook her head out of the thought again and started paying attention again. There it was again. The face blinking in it. She eyed it again this time a little harder she realized what it was, more like who it was she met her eyes with his and gave the harshest glare she could towards it. She sat and waited until the room was clear telling the girl in charge of cleaning the girl that she would do it instead. The girl thanked Kagome and ran out. Kagome stormed over to the door as soon as she seen that the cost was clear. She stormed over to the black board and pinched where the face was.

“OW!” It screeched popping back out. “What was that for?” the child whined rubbing the spot that was pinched only to be picked up and sat harshly in a chair.

“You sit there until I get done young Kitsune, you are in some serious trouble I told you to stay home! I have never been so disappointed in your behavior. I thought you could listen to me this one time.” She scolded with a harshness that Shippo had never heard in her voice before. “You are not to say a thing while you sit there,” She said starting to work on the board.

“A kitsune?” A male voice called out Kagome jumped several feet turning to find Hojo standing there.

“Hojo! Hi ah, how long have you been standing there?”

“A while I seen you pull him out. But don't worry I'm not going to say anything. Is this the boy you adopted?”

“Yes.” She said working on the board some more. “I had told him to stay with my mom and he disobeyed I hope she didn't get worried and start running around looking for him or go and call for INUYASHA” That last bit got the kitsune's attention. He winced and started to hope that did not happen not while he was so busy working as hard as he had been. Shippo knew if the hanyou had to be pulled away from anything he was doing that meant that he would be in a bad mood and did not want to tempt that part.

“Hojo, I need to talk to you anyways can you do me a favor and make sure he doesn't move while I finish up then we can head to my family's shine, and we can talk as soon as I've finished dealing with my son.

“why don't you finish with him now and I'll help you finish the board before we leave.”

“Alright if your sure you don't mind I wanted to get this done with before the effect would not be any good.” She said Shippo eyed her not liking this look that she was giving him. Her eyes softened but knew she had to do it. Or he was going to keep this up. She walked over picked him up.

“Mommy Kagome?”

“Hush, you've earned it. Do you have any clue of what could have happened to you if someone else would have found out about your being a Kitsune or if you had gotten hit by a car. Not to mention my mom's looking around trying to find you, and what if you had missed me here you would have been stuck and I would not have known where you were!” She hissed sitting herself down.

Shippo wasn't liking this at all. Never had he known this kind of nervousness but he did now! He felt the draft then the first sting. Followed by another then another. The boy could not believe it. His Kagome was really laying it in on him he squirmed and kicked as his bare backside screeching trying to reach back but found that he could not as she had his hands and tail pinned just right. Seeing he had enough after the last four of the nine she put him down and adjusted his lowered clothing.

“You see that corner over there?” She got a nod “you go stand there until I'm finished one move and I'll give you another set of swats. Clear?”

“Yes Ma'am” He whimpered out and ran over to do as he was told.
