Chapter 2

 

Rin sat in her chambers trying to figure out what to do. On one hand she wanted to tell Sesshoumaru what was going on but there was Jaken to worry about. He had given her a solid threat that if she told Sesshoumaru anything that there would be trouble to pay. She laid back thinking about everything that lead to this problem.

~ Deciding to prove to her lord that she was tired of being one that had to be looked after and protected. One that would be worthy to be under him. She decided to take up the training of her own going. She was getting ready to mimic all that she had seen the demon lord do in training on his own when he thought he was alone when she had spotted the green toad, like demon running out the door. She wondered what the hurry was so she chose to follow. Remembering to stay down wind of the demon's scent she did well. She followed him till she found him stopping in front of a large barrier.

“So are you alone, Jaken?” a voice crackled out.

“Yes, everyone is back at the palace. So what do you have planned at this point?” Jaken asked hissing out his own voice. Trying to make sure his voice was still kept down.

“I will plan to attack again two years from now on this same night. See to it that both brothers are able to fall Jaken. Is that clear?”

“Yes I hear you.” Jaken said nodding. “What should I do to prepare them?”

“What ever you wish but you best not fail me. And Sesshoumaru can not get wind of this.”

“Understood. Master.” Jaken said trembling again. Hearing this Rin turned to run to tell Sesshoumaru what she had learned only to step on a twig and give herself away. Rin cursed herself under her breath as Jaken turned towards her.

“Jaken I thought you were alone.”

“I thought so as well I had no idea that she had followed but don't worry I'll make sure she does not speak.” Jaken said harshly as she ran on. He followed angrily. Storming in after her right into the halls he grabbed her and drug her away from the rooms that would permit hearing by any of the dog demons that were around.

“Rin, you brat, I don't know what you heard or seen but if you tell anyone about this you will be killed so well Sesshoumaru will never be able to revive you again.” She nodded her eyes welling up in fear. Before she took off at a fast run. She ran into her room and shut the door as fast as she could. That happened to be hours before but now she did not want to even go near the outside of the hiding place she had for her.

“Milord, I have tried to get young Rin out from her chambers for her noon and evening meals but I can not get her to come out. She does not even answer. I am pretty worried about her.” Nana said bringing Sesshoumaru his evening meal.

“This Sesshoumaru will see what is keeping her.” He said standing. He walked to the door, and started to open it only to find that she had it blocked with something.

“Rin, come for your evening meal. You're being quite rude at this moment. He didn't get an answer.

“Rin if I do not have a reply in one minute I'll break the door down!” He hissed getting annoyed and worried all at once as he had known this not to be something of her normal behavior. Deciding the girl was taking too long he did as promised broke through with no problem only to find her laying on the bed just staring into space.

“Rin you were asked to come down to your evening meal, you need to come on now.” He told her sternly but gently. She eyed him.

“Lord Sesshoumaru I'm not hungry right now.” She said staring up.

“Are you I'll Rin?”

“No Milord just not hungry, Might I rest and eat later please?”

“No you are required in the dining hall now come.” Seeing she had no choice Rin stood before following him but not with the energy she normally had. She sat when she was told to before picking up her sticks and just pushed the food around on the plate. Nana walked over and felt the girl's forehead.

“She has no fever milord,”

“I'm fine just not hungry.” She said starting to stand. “Milord I would just wish to head to bed now.” Thinking it would be better he nodded.

 

“Miroku, if you want to really help then start by putting this on the inside of the walls, and floors.” InuYasha said handing him a bucket. “Make sure you put it on nice and thick, that way it does not get cold in here or anything. We'll add on more after we put in the stuff in the bathroom. I'm adding it on the inside cause that's how it is in her home in her time.” InuYasha said filling the wholes on his side. “If we run out I can melt more.” InuYasha said before finishing up his part and starting to put together the tub and fire pits for the bath.

“InuYasha, where did you come up with the idea for a home like this?”

“Something I remember from long ago. My mother's hut was like this. But smaller and there's one bigger like this but fancier rooted in my memories for some reasons.” InuYasha stated before getting quite again. Miroku decided it would be best to keep his mouth shut and work.

Both monk and hanyou worked for several hours before InuYasha spoke.

“I'll be working on the next part while that dries how much more do you need?”

“Not much why?”

“Because I need to hunt down something before I can move on, cause I'm adding something extra protective.”

“And what could be more protective then your Adamant Barrage?”

“Fire rat cloth in between.” Miroku blinked surprised.

“What are you expecting to come through here?”

“I don't care, I'm making sure that nothing does, I WILL protect my family with all that it's worth. And actually Miroku I was going to talk to Kagome first but since you're here I thought I would invite you and Sango to move in with us. I'll give you your own quarters if you'd wish but your welcome to live with us.” InuYasha offered.

“Why thank you I accept and I'll talk to Sango about this.” InuYasha nodded, and can you talk to her about working on the fire rat cloths when I get back.

“I can do so just don't get yourself killed while your doing this.” InuYasha nodded.

“Count on my being back later.” With that the hanyou took off fast.

 

Shippo sat pouting in his chair, he found himself grounded to Kagome's room for the next few days when they had gotten home the day before. Kagome was at school at the moment. He looked out the window to see if she was coming or not. She did promise that she would give him that affection after she got back before working on her home work.

“Shippo, do you want to come and eat some lunch your mom won't be home for a bit yet.”

“I guess.” The child said not meeting her eyes. Kagome's mom went to her knees, and called him over to her.

“Listen I'm sorry that everyone came down so hard on you but we had no choice, you scared me to death, as well as your great grandfather. And things that went through Kagome's mind were things that were horrible. She wanted to remind you that the rules of not wondering off on your own just like in your time.” She said as he walked over to the woman.

“You're welcome to sit on me if you'd like Shippo.” He nodded and did so. He took the moment to sniff the woman,

“You sort of have the same scent as Kagome.”

“I guess I would since I am her mom.” He nodded taking in the scent a bit more as she stood with him and walked to the kitchen. “I have a rice bowl would you like it?”

“Yes please.” He said as he moved to the table to get into his seat, the only one that had to be attached to the table so he could reach. Shippo watched as the bowl was set out along with fruit, and tea.

“Eat up and I'll get you a snack as well alright.”

“K.” He said while eating.

“Nama?” He called out giving her his own special name.

“Yes?”

“Do you really think Hojo will be able to be trusted and not tell anyone Kagome's secret?”

“I think so. He's a really good friend to her.” He nodded finishing up the bowl and worked on the fruit as the woman set down some chocolate covered candies in front of him. He finished set the fruit down only having half of that before attacking the chocolate.

“I see she was right about you and that sweet tooth. I think I'll be able to spoil you the way I want.”

“Even if I'm not yours by blood?”

“Yes. Even if InuYasha and Kagome have other children besides you. Nama will always spoil you the same way. She'll have her own special ways to spoil each and everyone. Just as I have my own way I spend time with Sota, and Kagome. The same amount I just do different things with each of you.” He nodded deciding that it would be fine.
