InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha's Summer Vacation ❯ And so it begins... ( Chapter 11 )

And so it begins…

Inuyasha was the first to wake up. Nothing felt different about him, but he wondered why Rin and Sesshoumaru were staring at him so strangely. Before he could ask what was wrong, Kagome called out to him. He turned to see if she was awake, and everyone in the room smile at the look of peace on her still sleeping face. Inuyasha then turned back to Sesshoumaru, he needed and wanted answers to the questions he had flying around in his head. Questions that he knew Kagome would want answers to, but he didn't want to leave Kagome's side just yet.

"Inuyasha," Sesshoumaru began, "there are many things for us to discuss. The pack has grown larger than just the two of us; you have done our family a great honor. Father would have been proud. You have gone through a great deal, but the hardest test of endurance will be when she, [indicating Kagome,] will begin her training. As leader of this pack, I have decided to allow Rin to train with Kagome as well. When the time comes for her to choose a mate I do not wish her to choose one because she cannot defend herself and needs his protection, but only that he can and will provide for her as I have done."

Rin had been in a world of her own during Sesshoumaru speech so she missed the pain that crossed his face as he thought of some other male claiming her as his own. Inuyasha however did not, and the only though he had was that he and his brother had much more in common than he had ever known. Kagome had heard the last part as well, but she kept her eyes closed as she listened to Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha knew she was awake as her breathing had changed, but he had never seen this side of Sesshoumaru and it left him a bit surprised to say the least.

The four sat in silence for what seemed to be hours before Kagome decided to let everyone know that she was up. Poking Inuyasha in his side she said to him, "Move over Inu, I can't breathe you're crushing me." Of course, his instincts told him to move she that she wouldn't be hurt, but his brain told him that she was laying more on him than the bed. Inuyasha rolled over, pinned her hands above her head with one of his hands, and started to tickle her with the other.

"Crushing you am I? Well let's if you can breathe now." Kagome laughed until she cried and could barely catch her breath. "Do you yield Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as her gave her a chance to breathe. She shook her head no, but when Inuyasha started flexing his fingers quickly changed her answer.

"If you two have finished playing we need to discuss what has happened to you and then what will be the next step." Sesshoumaru said as he walked over to the sitting area on the right side of the room and took a seat on one of the love seats. Rin sat down next to him while Kagome and Inuyasha sat across from them and in front of the big mirror.

To say that she was surprised would be an understatement. She had always day dreamed of being a hanyou just like Inuyasha, but to see it was something that astounded her. Not to say that she was stuck on herself or anything of that nature, it was just that she could see the strength and power that she now had, her aura now had a slight blue tint around the edges. She looked over to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru and saw that theirs was the same color as the one that surrounded hers. The only thing that was different was that Inuyasha had one that was just a little purple. She didn't know what it meant, but she would figure it out later for now she needed to pay attention to what was going on.

Sesshoumaru had been patient with her and allowed her sometime to look at herself, but there where things that needed to be explained as soon as possible. Therefore, he cleared his throat to gain her attention.

"Kagome," he started "as I have said before you both will need to train in order for you to survive in both times. Your mother has agreed to help Inuyasha and Keade has agreed to help also. I would like for Rin to train as well so we will perform a similar bonding ceremony that you and Inuyasha have done."

When everyone looked at him as if he had grown another head, he raised hand to silence them before that could ask and answered with "it is a bond of a `foster parent and child'. This way she will be more like Inuyasha and yourself."

"Meaning she will be hanyou," Inuyasha stated as he watched his brother through his thick bangs. Sesshoumaru sensed that the conversation was not going as he had planned. It was not his intentions to make his brother feel like he was not worthy of their father's blood and make him feel like he was below him in front of his mate to be.

"Inu, I will need you to perform the ceremony for myself and Rin, then find Sumi and have her start your training. There is much to do and we need to get started." He then turned to Kagome and Rin. "Kagome, you will start out training as a Lady of the Western Lands and Rin you will train with Keade with your bow. This is just the first step to see where we stand and how intense the will be."

Sesshoumaru explained to Inuyasha what he needed to do with Kagome's help as far as the ceremony was concerned. What he didn't tell them was that by them (Kagome and Inuyasha) performing the ceremony it was the first step in taking their rightful place as royalty. He also left out the part that the blood bond would forever bond Rin to him. However, he did not show it on the out side Sesshoumaru cared more for Rin then just making sure, she was safe from all youkai. He was more like his brother than he himself thought. Rin had some way gotten under his skin and he could not allow another man to take her from him. Though she did have to choice of finding a mate she would remain his for all eternity.

While Sesshoumaru was talking with Kagome, Inuyasha and Rin, Sumi was talking to Sango and Miroku.

"Naraku had tricked everyone into fighting for him. But in the end it was a trick played on him that brought him down," Miroku said as Sumi stared at them wide-eyed. Kagome had told her that he was dead, but she never said told they had defeated him. She wasn't sure if she should have been happy that Kagome was the one that defeated him or upset for the very same reason. `Well what's done is done and can't be undone. She is safe now and will soon be married.' She smiled and looked at the two sitting in front of her. She had watched as they told her of their background and then finding and joining Kagome and Inuyasha with their quest for the jewel shards. Every so often Sango would look at Miroku with a dazed look in her eye and Miroku had one of pride and adoration.

"Well enough of that, he's gone and it's time get things going here. So… when is the wedding? How many people will be in the wedding party? Will it be a summer wedding or a winter one? Day or night? Here or in the past? Sango do you have everything you need for the wedding? Do you need help planning it?"

Sumi shot so many questions at them at one time that they felt it would be easier trying to stop Inuyasha and Kouga from fighting over Kagome or trying to stop him from being, well Inuyasha. Sumi sat and listened as they answered her questions. She smiled as she envisioned the three weddings. Of course, Sango and Miroku's would be first, them being human there was no tradition or protocol that needed to be followed before they could marry. She was pretty sure that Sango would go for a modern wedding with all of the frills so she won't lose out on whatever Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru would consider to be `too human' for them.

Oh, the grandchildren see would have. Not that Shippou didn't count, she just wanted more as she could get them to have. Guilt was such a wonderful thing when you were a mother. And they say that diamonds are a girl's best friend. Whoever said that must not have been a mother. Turning her attention back to the small group in front of her, she cleared her throat to get their attention back on the matter at hand.

"Sango how well do you know Sesshoumaru and this girl Rin?"

"Just that he used his sword to bring her back from death and since then she has been with him. Why?"

"Well I have a plan just to see how close they really are. Don't worry about that "I will hill you for breathing the same air that I breathe" look from Sesshoumaru, that's just for show."

While she told them of the plan of how to get Sesshoumaru to show his true feelings about Rin, Sango and Miroku didn't see that they were going to be much more involved with the plan then Sumi let on. Kagome came out of the room with Rin and greeted every one. She told them that she was all right and that they were still working out the details on how the training was suppose to go and when it was suppose to start.

Later that night Inuyasha performed that same type of ceremony for Sesshoumaru and Rin. After ward, he showed everyone to a room and then he and Kagome sat and watched over the Lord and Lady of the Western Lands. Inuyasha sat on the cough in the sitting area of the room with his arms around Kagome as she sat in his lap. He was thinking about everything they had been through over the past three years and how after everything that happened to him he wouldn't change a single thing at this moment. Tomorrow will be the beginning of the much-awaited training and the continuation of the Great Inu youkai line. And it begins with neither brother knowing what the future held for them.

Ok you guys if you have any questions please don't be afraid to ask. I'll answer them to the best of my ability with out giving too much of the story way. Please remember that this is an AU fic so something will not completely follow the anime or manga. Your questions just may have an effect on the storyline. I do have a question for you please let me know in your reviews. Who should I introduce into the story next? Everyone will be in the fic that has not been killed or maybe at a later date brought back. No, Naraku will not be back, but a new enemy will show up. I don't who just yet so any one who ever dreamed of playing a villain let me know. This may be your fifteen minutes of fame. You would definitely have to give me a description of them and mostly likely, I'll let you write your own part in the story. We'll have to see. Sorry for taking so long to write this chapter, I had to rewrite it so many times. It's not what I planned write, but hopefully you like it. I hope that this is a little better for those would have a problem with the way it was written earlier. This is my first lemon so please be patient with me. It will be posted on mm.org under the same title. It's a toss up between Kagome and Inuyasha or Sango and Miroku. Please let me know which one you what first. About the neko youkai, I like the way I spell her name. It's different and it doesn't take away from the story, don't forget that this is an au so everything will not follow this story line. If anyone would like to be a beta reader for me, please let me know. I do a spell/grammar check before I post a chapter, but sometimes I make a mistake.
