Chapter Eight.
Before Inuyasha could respond to meeting his 'new' family, Kouga stood up and cleared his throat. “I know that the old man is not going to be home until next week, so I think that we'll take our leave and pick Souta up at school. We'll keep him with us until things here calm down. I really don't think that he should be here at the moment.
Mina stood up also, and walked with Kouga and Ayame to the door. “Thank you for coming over. I'm sure things will calm down by tomorrow. I'll call and let you know.”
After Kouga and Ayame left, Mina found Inuyasha glaring at Kagura. She walked over and placed her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, silently telling him that everything was alright. Inuyasha understanding what she was saying backed off, and went to sit beside Kagome on the couch. Rewrapping Mokomoko-Sama around himself. Leaving enough left over to also drape around Kagome.
Meiya, seeing this grinned and dropped his own concealing spell. “Would you also like to borrow mine? This way you'll know that we mean you or Kagome no harm.” He said to Inuyasha.
“Keh. Like I'll let any of you anywhere near Kagome. Try and I'll gut you.”
Sesshoumaru understanding that Inuyasha meant every word that he said glanced at his son and shook his head slightly. He also motioned for the others to drop their concealing spells.
As the others filed into the room, she grinned when she noticed that without he's concealing spell, Taiga and Mia looked a lot like their uncle, while Meiya and Mei, had the colder features of their father, except for their eyes, which were violet instead of gold.
Kagura, ignoring the warning looks being sent her way, immediately went to Kagome's side, bending down to kiss her cheek, she said “It's so good to see you again. We missed you in school.”
“I'm sorry Aunt 'Ra. You know why I've not been there. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to catch up some while I'm home.”
Moving over to the chair closest to where Kagome was sitting Kagura smiled at her. “Don't worry about it. With all the training that beast over there wants you to do, the decision was made to let you do home schooling. I'll be teaching you, when time permits and when I can't, Mr. Kit, will be here to teach you. I'm sure that you'll like him.”
“I've never seen him around school before. But I'm sure I knew him in the past, therefore I'm sure I'll also like him.” Kagome smiled back.
Sesshoumaru cleared his throat when she said that. Ignoring her questioning look, he said instead. “I've managed to convince Mei to help you with some of your miko powers, nothing complex, just learning to read others and any area you are in. Masking yourself from anyone around, and some meditation. Along with anything else she can think of that will help. Mia is a master archer, so she has agreed to train you there. Like I already said Meiya has offered to teach you some knife work. I've even had offers from Jeninji and Shiori to help in what they do best.”
Inuyasha frowned at his brother, but Kagome nodded her head. A frown crossed her face as she looked at Taiga. “You haven't said what Taiga will be doing.” She said to Sesshoumaru.
Taiga grinned at her from where he was sitting on the floor. “Haven't you figured that out yet, little one. Father has asked if I would be willing to pick up training you where I left off.”
“You have not been training me. I would have known.” Kagome told him.
Before Taiga could respond, Sesshoumaru spoke up. “I believe we should take this outside. I really don't think Mina would like it if we missed up her living room.”
Nodding his head in agreement, Taiga stood up and left the room. When the others followed, Inuyasha held Kagome back. “Are you sure about this? We can leave if you want to.”
Kagome just smiled at him. “It's okay Inuyasha, I've known Taiga for years. He's never hurt me. Just promise me that you won't do anything foolish.”
“If I have to. I really don't like the idea that Kagura is here though. And those pups. They all look alike to some degree. I just don't think you should do this.”
“Those pups, as you call them, are quadruplets. All from one birth. And like I said, I've none them from years. I trust them.”
Nodding his head he walked with Kagome outside to Goshinboku. The look he gave his brother, clearly said that if anything happened to Kagome, Sesshoumaru would pay for it.
Inclining his head to let Inuyasha know that he understood, he looked towards Mei, and asked her to set up a sight shield around the shrine. When that was done he let Taiga know that he could show Kagome, just what kind of training he had been doing with Kagome over the years.
"Taiga just a word of warning. She has been fighting youkai for the past few years, she has also faced me. If you release your youkai, I will not be able to help you. Her Miko powers will automatically assume that I'm a threat and and try to take me out. I have no doubt that the same thing will happen to you." Sesshoumaru said to his son.
"Don't worry I'm faster then she is. I'll be able to dodge anything she can throw at me." Taiga smirked.
"Whatever pup. Just be glad that she doesn't have her bow with her. I've seen her throw back a counter curse with that alone. Never mind the fact that she tore off the arms of a centipede monster while I was still pinned to Goshinboku." Inuyasha also told him in warning.
Taiga just shook his head and muttered something about over concerned elders. Rin looked at him with amusement. Before she to voiced her own warning. "Taiga, please don't forget the stories Mama told us. I have also seen her defend herself against odds that would make you shake in fear."
"Fine. Since none of you will leave me alone until I agree, I promise to be carefull." Taiga said to them all. 'Though they should be warning her instead of me. I am in no danger.' He thought to himself.
Mean while Kagome had been taking the time to remind herself that this was Taiga, and that she had to keep her Miko powers under control. In the back of her mind she had also noticed one other thing, when Inuyasha had carried her back into the house, he had left her pack by the door, and with it her bow and arrows.
"Are you ready little one?" Came the taunting voice from in front of her.
Before she could react, she felt a familer, but slightly diffrent youki, as she saw the streak of white coming towards her. Without thought she dropped to her knees as Taiga's clawed hand came out of seemily no where. Instinks took over, as she dodged to the side as she came back up to her feet. She still was not fast enough though when the hand once again made a grab for her. This time catching her around the neck and appling pressure. The hand immediately let her go when a small burst of purify energy crackled around it. Kagome using years of experiance when dealing with Taiga, jabbed him in the stomach and ran when she felt him tense slightly from pain. Moving towards her pack she once again dodged to the side when the youki once more came up behind her.
This time though she tripped, and once more instinc took over. As she went down to her hands and knees, she sensed the youki, and rolled onto her back so that she could use her hands to protect herself.
When Taiga saw her roll to her back he smirked to himself. She had totally left her tender spots open. Pressing what he thought was his advantage, he dropped down on her legs and, with what he thought was a gentel grip, wrapped both hands around her neck.
Kagome on the other hand was of a diffrent opinion, the grip around her throat was enough to put her into a panic. She knew that Inuyasha could not help her, because she also sensed Sesshoumaru near. Her mind was not thinking about all that had happened that day. Only what had happened earlier and in days past. Knowing she had to save herself, she disperatly looked around for something to help her. From the corner of her eye she saw her bow and reached for it.
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru realized the same thing at the same time. Kagome was not reacting to Taiga, she was reacting to what she thought was danger.
As Sesshoumaru yelled at Taiga to back of, Inuyasha yelled Kagome's name.
Unfortunatly these had the wrong effect. Kagome noticed Inuyasha's tone of voice, and heard the warning. She also noticed the Sesshoumaru knew this youkai attacking her, and between the two found the strenghth to grasp her bow and pull it in front of her, to use as a shield. The blast of her purifing energy blinded everyone. And the scream of pain brought her back to her right mind.
'What have I done?' she thought to herself.
