Chapter 19

 

Sesshomaru was released from prison late in January. Miroku had gone to the police when the two men who had raped and killed Sango began bragging about it to him. When the police investigated it, they got one of the two to confess, and it turned out that they had also murdered and robbed Rose Crawford. After he confessed, his partner was arrested. Sesshomaru's name was cleared, although there was nothing that the government could do to compensate Sesshomaru for his year and a half of exile. They tried to pay him off, but in the end, Sesshomaru got a lawyer and a settlement of close to a million dollars. He put the money into his saving accounts with all the rest he had earned from his paintings.

 

The first thing he did when he got out was fix up his house. He went through all of his mail, but there was nothing of importance. Miroku had taken care of the taxes for him, and Inu, surprisingly, had been paying all the bills. It took him nearly a month to get things back in shape.

 

After he had fixed up his house, Sesshomaru went to Cameron to visit with Kagome's grandfather. He went to the old man's trailer, but it was empty. There was a `for sale' sign poked into the ground out front. Sesshomaru went to the neighbor's house, and they told him that Raymond Gray-Eagle had disappeared right after Christmas. They didn't know where he had gone, but he had quit his job in Cameron, packed up all of his things and vanished. Sesshomaru, frustrated, left and returned to Phoenix.

Near the end of February, Sesshomaru got a letter from his parents on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana. They wanted him to come visit them. He agreed to go visit them later in the year. He was busy working on his bike, which Inu had torn apart and never fixed.

 

 

Kagome was busy with her shop. Her grandfather helped out around the ranch as much as his health would allow. Kirei was almost one year old, or at least she would be in a couple of months, and she was almost impossible to keep up with. Everything was going fine except for the continuing torture of finding slaughtered animals. Whoever it was that was stalking her had gotten worse. Souta and the guys had begun to find traps set in various places in the woods, but especially near the lake where Kagome liked to go riding. Everyone had to be extra careful when they went riding. Several of their cows had to be killed after getting their feet caught in them. It was becoming quite a nuisance.

 

------------------------------------------------

 

April rolled around again and with it came the rains that Kagome needed to get an early start on her garden. She planted her potatoes, lettuce and broccoli, as well as some herbs that she needed to make medicine. The pow-wow season was also beginning soon, so Kagome got busy making her costumes, and plenty of things to sell. As they did the previous year, they all went to Great Falls for the first gathering of the year. Kagome closed down her shop so that she could go to pow-wows on the weekends.
