Chapter 2~ Pasts Revealed, and an Unwanted Visitor

Kagome looked at Rin for a moment with a completely blank look on her face, then, "Hai, Hai Rin-chan, Fluffy-sama." She said this with a huge smile on her face, and pure amusement in her voice.

With a satisfied smirk, Rin turned and started dragging Jaken into the forest, "Ano, Rin-chan, what are you doing with Jaken?"

"Rin is taking Jaken to Ah-Un." Rin replied, still dragging Jaken away.

Kagome just laughed, and Sesshoumaru face went completely blank.

"What is so funny wench?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Kagome's amusement died as suddenly as it came, "I already told you, my name is KAGOME." After that Kagome's anger died just as suddenly as it reappeared and her face became thoughtful. "As much as Rin and Jaken would deny it, they both care for each other. Jaken always comes to you when he can't find Rin, and she was taking him to your dragon, probably to make sure he was alright."

'Hmm, she does have a point, they do seem to be very protective of each other.' Out loud he said, "Jaken just wants to be the one to kill her for all the tortures she has put him through, and Rin doesn't want to lose her favorite 'plaything.'"

"You're probably right, but they do seem rather attached to each other, and a bit protective." Kagome said with a slight smile on her face. "They kind of reminds me of Souta and me when we were younger."

"Souta?" Sesshoumaru asked with curiosity practically singing in his eyes, 'I have always wondered about this miko who travels with my brother, not only can she put up with his insufferable ways, she was able to draw the Tessiaga from it's resting place. I remember then that I couldn't believe she was mortal, she can't be, not with a scent like that and such great power. This is my chance to learn more about her.'

"He's my younger brother," she said, breaking Sesshoumaru out of his thoughts. "We used to fight all the time, you sooner would have called us enemies than siblings. That is of course, until Mika decided to bully him right in front of me, I hit him so hard that his nose broke. Since then no one has ever bothered Souta, they're to afraid that his big sister will lose her temper, we fight very rarely now. After all, no one touches what is mine!" She said the last with such strength that you would have sooner expected it of a bloodthirsty demon than our innocent Kagome.

'Hmm, I'm positive, she can't be human, she has the strength and possessiveness of the strongest demons, and the way her eyes flashed while she was saying that was like when demon rage takes over, they were red! "Miko, what are you, you are not human, you are too strong and smell ni(nice, but like he'd say that to her)- unlike any human I have ever met." 'What was I thinking, she doesn't smell nice, she's human.' 'Ah, but you said it yourself, she's not human.' 'That's true.' As Sesshoumaru came back to himself, he noticed that Kagome wasn't paying attention any more. Instead she had a slightly exasperated look on her face and was staring off to the left.

"Kuso, two jewel shards are heading this way and fast, that can only mean one thing." Here she broke off.

Sesshoumaru was starting to get impatient, and just as he was about to ask her what it meant, he was interrupted by a large dust cloud heading straight for them. "What is that?"

"That is Kouga."

"The wolf youkai prince?"

"Hai, he thinks I'm his woman, he just won't take a hint. Don't get me wrong, I like him as a friend, he's just to dense to realize that's all it is." As she's saying this she's looking around as if trying to find an escape.

"Kagome!!"

"Damn, too late." Sesshoumaru heard Kagome mutter under her breath. He smirked inwardly, 'Ahh, so he annoys her with his constant pursuit.' For some reason this not only amused him, but also made him feel truly happy.

Kouga rushed up to Kagome and engulfed her in a huge hug, "Yo, Kagome, how's inu-korru treating you?" In the background a low growl can be heard. 'Why am I growling, I care not for the wench? She's just a curiosity, ahh that's it, he interrupted our conversation.'

"Uhh, Hi Kouga-kun," Sesshoumaru's growl increases in volume, now even Kagome can hear it. Kouga quickly releases Kagome and stands protectively in front of her.

"Who's this?" Kouga asked in a menacing growl.

"This is Flu- Sesshoumaru-sama, Lord of the Western Lands, and Inuyasha's older half brother." 'So she does know how to address me, though, I like it when she is less formal with me. She must be more formal in public. Now how do I get rid of him so that I can talk to her alone again.'

"Thee Sesshoumaru-sama?" Kouga was becoming quite pale, at Kagome's confirmation, he quickly stuttered, "Uhh, well excuse me, I will just take My Woman and go." While speaking he had picked up an extremely pissed off Kagome and gotten ready to depart.

But before Sesshoumaru could stop him, Kagome yelled in his ear, "I AM NOT YOUR WOMAN, NOW PUT ME DOWN!!!" Kouga dropped Kagome in pain while both youkai covered their sensitive ears to prevent any more damage. When it became apparent that Kagome wasn't going to yell again anytime soon, they uncovered their ears. And to everyone's astonishment, Kagome said, "Gomen Sesshoumaru-sama, I didn't mean to hurt your ears, but I needed to get Kouga to let me down." She bowed to Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru, to say the least, was shocked, he hadn't expected her to apologize, hell, he hadn't even thought she had any manners. Boy, was he surprised, not that he showed it though.

Kouga, on seeing what he thought was Sesshoumaru and Kagome on friendly terms, nearly passed out, "Gomen, Sesshoumaru, I did not know she was your woman." With that he left a very stunned Kagome and amused Sesshoumaru behind.

After a few minutes Kagome came out of her shock and ran up to Sesshoumaru laughing. When she reached him she threw her arms around him and gave him a huge hug. When she released him, he immediately missed the warmth, "Arigato, Fluffy-sama, you got rid of Kouga-kun for me." With that she starts dancing around the meadow with child-like delight.

"I, Sesshoumaru, did nothing he just did it on his own." At this Kagome stopped.

"I know, but if you hadn't been here he would have tried to kidnap me again, and Inuyasha wouldn't have saved me either. Ever since he and Kikyo started to get together again, my only purpose has been to keep the group together. When he convinces her to help him find the Shinkon no tama, I will search for the shards on my own." She said this with a very sad tone.

"And how do you know this will happen?"

"Miroku and Sango would come with me, but they will need Inuyasha to defeat Naraku, so I will probably leave without telling them. Kirara will stay with Sango, but I'm not leaving my pup anywhere near that murderous bitch, Kikyo, Shippo will come with me. I have to leave because Kikyo will try to kill me again to regain 'her' soul, and Inuyasha will once again think me a liar. After all, his precious Kikyo can do no wrong." Sesshoumaru stood in utter shock. 'My baka brother is so stupid, not only does he choose the dead over the living, but he also can't tell that the dead bitch wants him and her incarnation dead. He has a very powerful and loyal companion on his side, and he's about to give her up for a weak, dead miko who wants him dead. Well, if he can't appreciate what a strong ally he has, I will.'

"When that happens, I would be willing to help you in your quest on two conditions." When he was sure he had her full attention he continued, "When the quest is done you stay with me in my castle and watch over Rin."

"That's only one, what's the other?"

"You take a blood oath with me to fulfill your end of the bargain as I will mine."

"I will accept under three conditions, one Shippo gets to stay with me, two, I get to visit my family, and three you won't use me or Shippo against my friends or to get the Tessiaga."

"Agreed, as it is, I was never truly after the Tessiaga, I wanted to teach my brother how to wield it. The hatred between us is only one sided, he believes I killed his mother, I did not. Since he hates me this is the only way I could think of to help him. I led him to the sword, I told him of the wind scar, I convinced Toutousai to help him, and I am teaching him to the best of my abilities how to wield it in battle."

After hearing this Kagome thought, 'I always wondered why he never killed Inuyasha, now I know, hmm, wonder why Inu believes he killed his mom. But can I believe his story?' She looks at him, 'I think I can.' "Okay Sess-chan, how do we perform the blood oath?"
