A Safer Place Sesshomaru

By: Yaiko Youkai

December 24, 2003

Sesshomaru and Rin have been traveling with Inuyasha and the shard hunters for about a day and he was as tired as the Houshi (Miroku or Monk) and the Taiji (Sango or demon exterminator) were. Rin was all ready asleep in his arms since her feet had started hurting earlier, Sesshomaru had picked her up.

"Inuyasha every one is tired." Kagome said as she carried Shippou in her arms.

"Feh!" was all Inuyasha said as he still continued forward.

"Inuyasha we need to rest." Kagome said sternly.

"Wench you know we have to find the Jewel Shards!" Inuyasha growled.

"Kagome, Houshi, Taiji stop. Inuyasha will return once he realizes we are no longer with him." Sesshomaru said stopping then sitting down against a tree with Rin. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku all agreed and decided to join Sesshomaru in his little rebellion against Inuyasha.

"He'll come back when he smells Raman." Kagome said cheerfully as she dug in her bag for the food. "Might want to wake her up Sesshomaru or she'll never sleep tonight." She said looking up to see Rin asleep in his arms.

"Rin, wake up." Sesshomaru said moving her bangs out of her face.

"Rin doesn't wants to." Rin said as she buried her face in his shirt. Sesshomaru lightly laughed at the reaction the child had when he tried to wake her.

"She don't want to wake up." Sesshomaru said to Kagome.

"Rin it's play time." Kagome said cheerfully and Rin's head shot up.

"Rin like's to play." She said then looked over to Kagome who was smiling.

"Shippou, Rin go play right over there." Kagome said and laughed a little when Rin jumped off of Sesshomaru's lap and followed Shippou.

"That made her get up." Sango said and laughed at the children too. "HENTAI!!" Sango yelled then started beating the pulp out of Miroku.

"He don't learn does he." Kagome said then threw an empty shampoo battle at Miroku.

"No the perverted Houshi doesn't! Why can't he play with his own butt!" Sango said then sighed.

"Now I know what he did." Sesshomaru said and laughed when the Taiji's face turned a nice shade of red.

"I forgot there was another male here…" Sango said then left camp to find wood for the fire they would need.

"I know your name and that stupid half brother of mine. She's a Taiji he's a perverted monk. But what are their names? The little kit his name was Shippou correct?" Sesshomaru asked as he tried to learn every thing he had looked over before because he thought it irrelevant.

"The Taiji is Sango, and the Houshi is Miroku. Yes Shippou is the little Kit. I'm like a surrogate mother to him. he lost his real parents to the thunder brothers." Kagome said. Then her smile faded as she remembered all the people her friends had lost.

"Did I say something wrong?" Sesshomaru asked a little worried that he had made her upset.

"No. Sango's entire village was murdered by hundreds of demons under Naraku's control. Miroku's family all the males have the same curse on their right hand. His grandfather and father were both killed by that curse with Naraku put on them. Inuyasha had his love Kikyou murdered by Naraku. He set them in a trap to kill each other and it nearly worked." Kagome explained then looked over to Sesshomaru.

"And you?" he asked wondering if she had suffered too at the hands of demons.

"Me…" she laughed a little. "oh I've had my soul sucked out by Kikyou. I've been hurt on many occasions in the battles against Naraku. I was nearly killed by Naraku once. I've been torn from my family for nearly a year because of the search for Shikon Shards. But nothing as major as the others." Kagome said and smiled.

"Seems Rin and I just fit right in here with your little group." Sesshomaru said and got a questioning look from Kagome.

"What do you mean?" she asked a little confused.

"Rin was killed by wolves, her parents were murdered before that time. I brought Rin back with Tensaiga though I don't know if it works with me in this human form now." Sesshomaru explained and looked over to Rin who was playing happily in the field with Shippou. "She seems so happy now. I'm glad I saved her." He whispered but Kagome heard this and smiled.

"And you Sesshomaru. You said you both fit right in with us." Kagome questioned and Sesshomaru turned to look back at her.

"Me, have you ever seen the training of a child to be come a lord?" he asked her though he knew the answer would be no.

"No I haven't." she said shyly.

"Be glad you haven't. Inuyasha's mother killed my mother. My mother couldn't stand the heartache of our father's betrayal. I couldn't help her at all. Our father then showed Inuyasha off like a prized possession not caring that my mother had died just that morning." Sesshomaru said angrily. Then felt someone pull him into a hug. He looked up to see Kagome with tears in her eyes as she rubbed his back soothingly.

"That's why you hate Inuyasha and humans!" Kagome said understanding what he was saying.

"Yes. I never had half of what Inuyasha had. My mother never had half the love his mother had. Yes I'm the lord of the western lands but he had and still has his freedom." Sesshomaru said sadly.

"Tomorrow I'll take you and Rin to a safe place. I'll show you around there too." Kagome said then walked back over to her bag just as Sango came back to their little camp with an armload of firewood. She sat it down then started to build a fire.

"Sango I'm going back tomorrow would you like to come?" Kagome asked and smiled.

"You know Inuyasha's not going to like you going home Kagome. No I'll have to stay here to keep him from going after you and dragging you back." Sango said.

"Home? Is that where you are taking me? Where do you live Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked completely confused now.

"Yes Sesshomaru it is safer at my home since there are not longer any demons. I live 500 years in the future if you can believe that. That's why I don't dress normally. I am Kikyou's reincarnation." Kagome explained.

"How could there be no demons?" Sesshomaru asked stunned.

"Humans took over after this area and started destroying Demons. Now in my time there are none. None that Inuyasha and I have found anyway." She said and started to cook dinner since Sango had got the fire started and was now sitting beside Miroku again.

"KAGOME!!" Inuyasha yelled as he came back into sight of the little camp.

"Uh oh this isn't going to be good. I want to watch come on Rin." Shippou said as he ran back over to the camp with Rin right behind him.

"Yes Inuyasha?" Kagome asked not even looking up at the Hanyou. She new he was mad.

"I said we weren't stopping!" Inuyasha yelled again this time getting in her face.

"Do not yell at Kagome. I'm the one that said to stop." Sesshomaru said not looking at Inuyasha either.

"Oh the big bad lord of the Western Lands. Well you don't rule here damn you. Don't give orders here you pampered jack ass!" Inuyasha yelled pulling Sesshomaru to a standing position.

"YOU'RE THE ONE THAT WAS PAMPERED GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!" Sesshomaru yelled as he tried to pry Inuyasha's hands off the collar of his shirt. But it wasn't working.

"DON'T GIVE ORDERS HERE!" Inuyasha yelled as he picked Sesshomaru off the ground a little.

"Inuyasha stop it put Sesshomaru down Now!" Kagome said angrily. Inuyasha dropped Sesshomaru who instantly fell to his butt then jumped back up!

"Don't you ever touch me again." Sesshomaru said angrily as he glared at his half brother. All the hate he had for Inuyasha showed in his eyes and caused Inuyasha to back up a little.

"You have no rule here. You can't give orders and expect us to follow." Inuyasha said angrily getting back in Sesshomaru's face.

"Inuyasha you don't rule here either so sit down and shut up! We say when we stop from now on got it!" Kagome said angrily.

"No I say when we stop Wench!" Inuyasha said turning to her.

"SIT BOY!!" Kagome yelled angrily. "Ka-go-me it's not hard Inuyasha. Now stay there until I calm down or I'll put you back down there!!" she said then sat back down and continued cooking. Every one could hear Inuyasha cursing cause he couldn't get up to give Kagome a piece of his mind. He had her so mad the spell had yet to wear off.

"My name isn't wench, bitch, Miko or any of that other stuff! My name is Kagome." Kagome seethed angrily then turned back to Inuyasha. "I'm not Kikyou either damn it you stupid Inu!" she said angrily then noticed the children standing by Sesshomaru staring wide eyed at her. Even Sesshomaru was staring wide-eyed at her along with Sango and the now conscious Miroku.

"Lady Kagome are you feeling all right?" Miroku asked.

"I…uh…sorry." Kagome said then got up and walked out of camp.

Inuyasha got up and stared after her wide-eyed cause she had never blown up like that. "She's one crazy ass Miko!" Inuyasha said standing up.

"Her name is Kagome. Rin stay with Sango over there." Sesshomaru said and pointed to the Taiji then started after Kagome.

With Kagome!

'I can't believe I blew up like that. I bet they all think I've gone mad.' Kagome thought as she walked into a clearing with a hot spring. She sat down near the edge.

"Kagome? Where'd you go?" she heard Sesshomaru ask. He was near by but not on a strait line to her. Actually he was going to pass her if she didn't answer him.

"I'm over her Sesshomaru." Kagome said and turned to see Sesshomaru coming out of the forest about 20 feet where she had came out.

"Ouch…stupid limb." Sesshomaru said as a limb hit him in the face. Kagome laughed a little when she saw him brake the limb for hitting him.

"You all right Sesshomaru?" she asked when he started rubbing his cheek.

"Now I know what Humans go threw on a daily basis. Tree's are very dangerous indeed." He said as he sat down beside her. And smiled when she laughed again.

"Yes they are but most human's don't get waked in the face by a limb. Most duck unless they are looking at something else." She said and smiled.

"I would have ducked. I wasn't paying any attention to the tree. Stupid thing should watch out for passers by." Sesshomaru said annoyed.

"The tree can't move Sessh." She said and laughed at him again.

"Well it seems I'm a good comedian and I have a new name." Sesshomaru said and raised an eyebrow at her.

"Oops sorry Sesshomaru. I don't mean to be rude." Kagome said then looked back down at the water.

"You're not being rude. I was trying to make you laugh. I don't know why though." Sesshomaru said confused.

"It's human nature to want to help others either emotionally or physically." Kagome said and looked at him smiling.

'I'm going to have to get control of these emotions and quickly! I've done said to much. They can use every thing I told her against me.' Sesshomaru thought almost angry with himself for telling her about himself and Rin.

"Come on let's get back before we don't get any food." Kagome said standing up then holding out her hand to help Sesshomaru up. He took her hand but didn't rely on it. He pulled himself up to a standing position he only took Kagome's hand to be polite.

Later That Night!

Inuyasha was up in a tree as usual looking out for demons who might think to attack the group of friends during the night. Sango was sleeping near the fire with Miroku on her right asleep with Kagome sleeping on her left with Shippou and Rin. Sesshomaru sat under a tree opposite Inuyasha.

'Stupid brother doesn't understand anything. He was the one pampered and he dares to call me pampered. He dares to cuss in front of Rin too.' Sesshomaru thought angrily as he glared at Inuyasha.

"Do you have a problem Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked not opening his eyes.

"Besides you living no." Sesshomaru said sarcastically then looked back over to the sleeping Miko and the two kids.

"Well I guess you'll just have to get over that." Inuyasha said. Then disappeared from the tree he was on. Kagome woke up noticing his disappearance.

"Where's he going?" Kagome wondered as she got up to make sure she didn't wake the kids. She covered them up then stood. She looked where Inuyasha had been just a minute before. "It's not like him to leave us unguarded." She said then followed after him. Sesshomaru watched in amazement at how attuned her senses were. She had been asleep but still she noticed his bother's disappearance.

'What's she going after him for? That leaves us unprotected completely.' Sesshomaru thought then moved to where he was beside the kids as he kept watch.

~*~*~*~*~

Kagome followed Inuyasha until she came up to a clearing where she saw he was with someone. Then her eye's widened in shock when she recognized the person as Kikyou with her soul stealers.

"I KNEW IT!" Kagome yelled then turned and started running with tears in her eyes. 'All I ever was, was a replacement for Kikyou! That's all I've ever been. The Shard Detector and replacement for Kikyo' she yelled at her self in her head as she cried.

Sesshomaru looked up as he heard something running towards them not even making an effort to hide their approach. He looked at Kagome a little worried as she came into the clearing crying.

"Kagome what's wrong?" Sesshomaru asked in alarm as he stopped her.

"I got to get out of here." she said through her crying and he pulled her into a hug to calm her down.

"What happened Kagome?" he asked worried.

"Inuyasha was…was…with Kikyou. I should have know…" Kagome said as she cried into his chest.

"Why don't we go to your time now instead of tomorrow." Sesshomaru said and he rubbed her back and had his head on hers.

"Yeah. I'll wake the kids." Kagome said and pulled back a little to so she could see his face.

"No, just get your stuff ready we'll carry them let them sleep." Sesshomaru said and smiled down to her.

"Okay…" Kagome said and whipped her eyes then started to pack everything as Sesshomaru pulled a cover over Rin then picked her up. Kagome left her bag sitting by the fire and went over to Shippou then sat down beside him as she wrote on something. Then placed it in Sango's hand. Kagome got up then covered Shippou like Sesshomaru had done Rin then picked him up.

'She is educated very well if she can write a note of explanation.' Sesshomaru thought then smiled at her.

Kagome turned around to get her bag when she saw Sesshomaru all ready had it over his shoulder waiting for her to show him the way. Kagome smiled weakly at him then started to walked down the road with out a glance back at the camp.

They reached the Well by daybreak and Kagome sighed. ''Now I can go home and rest.' Kagome thought then smiled at the thought of going home.

"How does this work?" Sesshomaru asked confused as he looked down the well.

"Well the first time you have to hold my hand. And all we do is jump in." Kagome explained as she smiled weakly at him. Then took his hand and got up on the lip of the well. And waited for him to follow which he did. "Come on." She said then jumped and he followed a second later.

The light blue spell surrounded them as they fell then their feet touched the ground again. He looked up to see something over the well.

"Only humans would put something over a well." Sesshomaru said as he stared at the roof.

"Come on I'm going to seal the well until we are ready to go back." Kagome said and started to clime the ladder inside the well. Sesshomaru soon followed. When he was out of the well he saw her put a wooden board over the well then put a piece of paper on it after saying a small chant. "Some times I thing I owe Kaede every thing for that spell. Inuyasha can't come here until I release the spell." Kagome said and smiled at Sesshomaru.

"So I presume we are 500 years into the future." Sesshomaru said dully.

'Oh goody it looks like he's getting his emotional control back.' Kagome thought then frowned. "Yes we are. Now as I told you no demons exist. Humans live in cities of thousands now not 20 to 30 humans. We have technology and are very hygienic now." Kagome said then opened the door to the well house and walked out holding the door for Sesshomaru to walk out too.

"Interesting." Sesshomaru said like it didn't matter to him the least bit as they walked over to a house.

"Sesshomaru let me ask a favor of you." Kagome said pleading with him a little.

"What?" he asked as he tried to sound annoyed.

"Don't do that." Kagome said.

"Do what?" Sesshomaru asked losing what little control he had on his emotions cause he is confused now.

"Hide your emotions. Stop hiding behind that mask you put up to keep yourself from being hurt. I'm not going to hurt you with what you tell me. It stay's between us." Kagome said and stopped making him stop to.

"I can't go against a life time of training and beliefs that no matter what you will." Sesshomaru said as his eyes softened to meat hers.

"I will not do that Sesshomaru. Some times you just have to trust some one." Kagome said.

"Trust is earned not given." Sesshomaru said getting a cold expression again. His father had said the same thing. 'Some times you just have to trust people Sesshomaru. That's what my father said when he showed me Inuyasha and his mother.' Sesshomaru thought angrily.

"How can I earn trust when you give me no chance with your hiding of your emotions." Kagome said then walked into the house holding the door open for him to come in too. "Come on let's get them up to my room so they can sleep better." Kagome said in a hurt voice then walked up stairs and into a room.

She laid Shippou down just as Sesshomaru came in. he laid Rin down beside Shippou then followed Kagome out of the room and back down the stairs.

"I'm going to cook breakfast before mom gets up. Sit down over there." Kagome said and pointed to the couch in the living room.

Back At Camp!

"Sango have you seen Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he ran into camp waking every one still there. 'Sesshomaru, Rin, and Shippou are gone too.' Inuyasha thought angrily as he clinched his fists and smelt the air to find they had left together.

"No. wait a note." Sango said. "Dear Sango and Miroku, I have gone back to my time. Tell Inuyasha I'll come back when I'm ready and not until then. Sesshomaru, Rin, and Shippou have came with me so don't worry we are safe back at my home. Kagome." She read aloud to the others.

"She was talking to us. What did you do Inuyasha?!" Miroku asked.

"Nothing…" Inuyasha lied then started towards the well with Miroku and Sango right behind him. 'I KNEW IT!' just kept repeating in his head. He was angry at her for following and himself for not noticing her following him.

Authors Note: Hey I hope every one likes this chapter. I told you Sesshomaru would start to get his control back. Sorry for making it kind of like others with Inuyasha going out to met Kikyou. But I couldn't thing of another way for Kagome to want to go home and stay for a while.

Razor Blade Magarita: Sorry it took me seven day's but I'm really busy. I've never heard of Sessh being turned Hanyou or Human before…I thought it would be a really original fic. Thanks for your two reviews.

lil_sesshi: Yeah Sessh/Kag. I love those fics. ^_^

Bloodroseblade: I have a lot in store for the little group besides this little anger explosion.

Vic_18: I'm glad you like my story and I intend on this being a Sessh/Kag fic. Don't really like Inu/Kag fic that much. I do like some but they are really, really good. But most InuYasha fics I like are Sessh/Kag. Thanks for your reviews.
