Chapter Three:As time goes by.

The time flew by when Sesshomau was at the hospital. While Rin had been able to leave with Inuyasha, he needed to stay in the hospital at least for two weeks in order for the arm to heal.

During those two weeks nothing out of the normal had occurred. He had been able to work from the hospital with his laptop; most nurses were amazed at how easily he could work only using his 'good' hand. During those days at the hospital Sesshomaru got various visits from a few executives in the office, daily calls from Kagome and numerous visits from his daughter who would spend the entire afternoon with him, doing homework, doing some mindless chatting or pestering Jakken, the family physician. But as Busy as his days seemed to be, or as much good company he seemed to have, the one person that had plagued his mind during these days, was barely if not seen. Dr. Kaze only came to do check-ins once every two days, but if she spoke it was little to nothing at all.

Finally it was his last day in hell, the last day he would be spending in the hospital, but, what difference would it make? He would still have to come to the hospital once o twice a week for therapy and he would have to stay home, seated in his room alone.

"No, that wont work... I need to find a way"---

His thoughts were interrupted when the door quietly opened and in came Kagura who was quietly speaking with Rin about only God knew what. The girl was pushing a wheelchair which was intended for Sesshomaru's use, since he had been laying in a bed for almost two weeks his legs probably wouldn't work normally.

He decided to leave his thoughts aside, but he would come up with a way to make Kagura see him more often.

"Daddy, hurry up and get in the wheel chair, I want to get home as soon as we can!"

Seshomaru only grunted as Rin helped him on the wheel chair. While doing this, Kagura was still amazed at the exchange between the two. She had seen this kind of behaviour before, but was still getting used to it. Seeing how Rin was unable to help sesshomaru by her self she moved forward to give him a hand. The moment her fingers brushed against his skin she felt an electric current soaring through her. She inmediately pulled back with a gasp, and so did he. something was going to happen really soon.

*********************************

The home of the western lord was unusually quiet. Even though he was rarely there, he knew that there was always the sound of maids cleaning, the gardener, the mechanic or the explosions caused by his brother while doing experiments in the garage.

"I'm quite sure Rin knows what's going on but she won't tell me a thing...I wonder..."

It was quite odd, since he didn't remember giving the staff the day off, but, oh well... things would go back to normal the next day.

His thoughts were interrupted by his daughter.

"Daddy... I know this is probably not the time or place to ask you this..." she said while helping him out of the wheelchair and onto his bed "but I was wondering... will you tell me about my mother?" she said as she laid in the bed next to him "You said that when i got older I would understand, and now I'm older."

Sesshomaru sighed as he brushed his hand across his face. Normally he would seem unfazed by this, but it was beyond him how his daughter could manage reading him like an open book, so he never kept his mask in front of her.

"Rin..."

"Please, daddy?"

"Your mother... she is a very special woman, even though she is very serious, god only knows how you came out so hyperactive..."

"she is a very special woman? Is as in she is alive?"

"Yes, Rin, she is alive, and before you ask, there are very important reasons to why she isn't here with us right now." He paused and took a deep breath before continuing "but the most important one is... that she forgot about us... and her father made sure she wouldn't remember..."

"But, why would he do that, daddy? How can someone be so cruel? And how come you didn't do a thing about it?"

"wel, Rin, things were different then, I was barely eighteen years old... and your mother.. she was barely 16, you and her share your birthdays. When her father found out that she was pregnant... well, hell broke loose, he had her locked up day and night, the only times I could see her were the nights of the full moon, when her father would leave the house to hunt for wolves in the forest. The day you were born was the last day I saw her. After she gave birth to you, her father threw her off a ladder, she got amnesia from that, then he took her away... The reason because I didn't do a thing was because father wanted to make sure I married someone politically convenient for him, that would be Kikyo Himaya, but she wouldn't have me unless I gave you away and... and I was not able to do that."

"Daddy..."

"Hey, Bastard..." both turned at the sound of Inuyasha's voice coming from the doorway.

"Uncle Inu!" exclaimed Rin as she saw him.

"Half-Breed" stated sesshomaru in his once again bored voice. He turned to face Rin. "Rin, why dont you get us something to eat? Your uncle and I have to ... Talk"

She nodded hesitantly as she ran toward the door and out of both their sights.

Inuyasha entered the room slowly, as if wanting to test his brother. He moved across the room and to the window while Sesshomaru's gaze was fixed on him. He moved the curtain aside and peeked through the window as if expecting to see someone, but as he found nothing he let go o it and turned to face his brother.

"Care to explain, Sesshomaru, why what you told her is completely different from what you told me?"

"nosy as ever, aren't you, Inuyasha"

"well...yes, so I surely would like to know the truth... the real version, if you please."

"Well, what I told Rin is the truth." He paused as if looking fore the correct words. "I lied to you, and before you ask, I wouldn't have told you the truth in the hospital, since too many are interested in my private affairs... and I also didn't tell you because... because Kagura is Rin's mother."

Inuyasha was ready to yell at his brother for his bastardness but this last statement gave him a pause.

"Wh-what? That doctor, the one who ...she is Rin's mother? How come you never told her? Or me? I understand why you didn't tell Rin, or even me... but she is the girl's mother"

"I have my reasons for not wanting to tell her these things, brother, but they things aren't as simple as they would seem... Kagura... she is different, I know her, how her mind works, or at least I did... I'm not sure I know her anymore and I'm not sure if she'll ever remember us"

"Feh, tell me one time, bastard..." he said, trademark scowl back in place "when you have ever given up this easily? It's obvious you still have feelings for the wench, then why let her go?"

"I'm hearing this from the hanyou who can't help but make a fool of himself whenever certain miko is around? I'm surprised, Inuyasha at how you've managed to keep her for so long" answered Sesshomaru with an amused flint in his eyes.

Inuyasha couldn't help but turn a lovely shade of red when this was said.

"Feh, she isn't mine to begin with..."

"but you wish she were, dont you ?"

"Feh..."

"Well, then, why instead of giving me advice, don't you put it in practice?"

Rin entered the room at that moment carrying a tray with popcorn, ice cream and three jugs of soda and settled comfortably on her father's bed. Inuyasha left the room, but not before hearing his brother's last comment "don't be a coward".

Once his brother had left the room, Sesshomaru turned around to inspect what his daughter had gotten them to eat.

"Rin" he said, while narrowing his eyes at the load of junk on the tray "you call this nutritious food?"

"Hush, daddy, it's got milk, besides, aren't you bored with all that hospital food? I mean, it has no taste at all, now, does it?"

seeing hoe fighting with her daughter would lead him no where, he left it at that.

*****************************

Inuyasha left his brother's room with a scowl on his face. Was it true what he'd just said? Was he really a coward? Yes, it was true that he had said at the hospital that Kagome was his girlfriend, but that was only a wish he had, a desire deep down.

Kagome. He had been thinking on asking her out for some time now, and even when his best friend Miroku told him that she had the hots for him, he couldn't gather the guts to do it, but now it was completely different. Sesshomaru had called him a coward, and even though he knew he was taunting him, he couldn't help but try to prove his brother wrong.

As he got on his car, he pulled out his cellphone and dialed the number he knew by heart: Kagome's.

"Hello?"

"Hey Wench"

They had been friends for what seemed an eternity even though everyone who saw them could easily tell they liked each other.

"Hello to you too, Inu" she said in an exhasperated tone.

"What are you doing right now wench?"

"nothing really, just here watching the news. By the way, how are sesshomaru and Rin?"

"Feh, since what you are doing is boring, might as well pick you up for dinner, are you up to it?"

"When have I ever said no to you, Inu? But you haven't answered my question on how your relatives are!"

"I'll tell you later, kags, and dress nicely since I'm taking you on a date tonight." With that said, he unceremoniously hung up the phone, and even though he knew Kagome was probably shocked, he was as red as the shirt he was wearing.

*********************************

That Kagome was shocked was an understatement. The minute Inuyasha had said the word date, she had lost her grip on her phone. She had had a crush on him since forever, but never thought he'd notice her. Finally her dreams were coming true, she was dating her best friend, the man of her dreams, and even if it was only for one night, she was going to be sure to enjoy it.

The big dilemma now was: What to wear?

***********************************

It had been a while since Rin had retired to her room. The lord was now alone end thinking about a certain demoness, about how her father had changed their lives in just a moment.

Flashback

The hospital corridor was deserted. All he could hear were her screams of agony as she struggled to give birth to her daughter without assistance. She was strong, yes but still it was a deathly task for a fifteen year old girl. He was angry with himself for not being there for her on time, but now he was here, he would help her, they'd go through this together.

He entered the room and hurried to her bed. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it lightly when she wouldn't turn to look at him. She was afraid, deathly afraid of something he couldn't decipher.

"So..." came a deep taunting voice from across the room "The great and mighty dog has decided to come to see his spawn being born, how...touching."

Even though all the lights were out and the room was pitch black, that deep taunting voice was unmistakable.

"Naraku" growled Sesshomaru low in his throat "How dare you put her through this? Hasn't she suffered enough having to be locked up all this time?"

"Au contrary, dog, she hasn't you and her have yet to suffer the worst punishment."

Sesshomaru was about to argue when a loud childish wail cot through their fighting. When both turned around, Kagura was laying back on the bed holding a very small, perfectly formed little demon child in her arms.

"So, bitch, you have finally finished giving birth to a bastard child"

"stay away from her, you bastard, or I'll kill you"

"Oh, you won't do such thing." As he said this, he approached the bed and grabbed the infant by it's ankle.

"Rin, no bastard, give me my baby" sobbed Kagura, hiccuping in between each word "Give her back!"

Sesshomaru was poised to attack Naraku, but he held the infant in front of him "Do it, and you will kill her" he sneered.

"What are you going to do to them" he asked as he saw Naraku place a hand on Kagura's forehead and one on the baby's.

"You will see"

As soon as he said this, a blinding flash of purple light emerged from his hands and into both, mother ad child's bodies. Sesshomaru was too distracted to notice the tentacle that shoot towards him and couldn't dodge it as it pinned him to an adjacent wall.

"You, bitch, will forget you ever had a daughter" he said, releasing Kagura "and for you sesshomaru, I'll now leave you with the remainder, a fully human child, so you'll never forget what you couldn't save from me!"

He dropped the baby on Sesshomaru's lap before taking his daughter and vanishing into the night.

End Flash back

Yes, Sesshomaru had been sure to destroy Naraku a fer years after that nasty incident, but even after he did, he was unable to find Kagura. All until that day. Fate had brought them together once again, and he wouldn't let her escape again by any chance.

***********************************

Across the city, In a small apartment, Kagura Kaze was startled awake by a dream.

"How strange, What was sesshomaru doing in my dream, but that wasn't really a dream, was it? It had felt more like a memory than a dream, a memory about thirteen years ago"

While she had been distracted, her feet had carried to the third room in the apartment, the one she used for storage, and she was standing now in front of the one box she never dared open, the box that was given to her after her father was found dead, the last of his belongings.

"Why would they give me this? What did Naraku keep in here?"

She sat in front of it, and going against her better judgement, she flipped the lids of the cardboard box open. A cloud of dust appeared when she blew on the contents of the box. There she saw several folders, an empty wooden crate and two ,very old, very damaged pictures.

She lifted the first one, and saw it was a human woman. The picture was labeled Kikyo Himaya, the second one, was a picture of a baby demon. When Kagura took a better look at the picture, she almost fainted. The baby in this picture was the same one in her dream, the one she'd given birth to, the one her father had turned human.

The picture slipped from her now numb fingers as she took tentative steps backwards, getting as far away from the box as she possibly could.

The faint sound of footsteps snapped her out of her trance, and she turned around to See Kanna looking at her from the doorway.

"Hey" she spoke softly to her sister "What's wrong, baby?"

Kanna held out her arms for Kagura to carry her, and she complied.

"I can't sleep, and I'm hungry Gura-chan"

"You are hungry this late?" asked Kagura, while smiling "and what would you have to eat, young lady?"

At this Kanna smiled and began rambling about pancakes, ramen and all other sorts of junk, while Kagura carried her downstairs. She was distracted for the moment, but tomorrow, she would go check on Sesshomaru and she would ask him about all this.
