It had been a month since Kagome’s mom had passed away, and Shiori was still staying at their Aunt Kindra’s home. Sesshoumaru had decided to let Kagome have sometime to herself. He would come over and see her every now and then but for the most part he left her alone.

Kagome sat in the kitchen looking around it, it was so quiet without Shiori being there, Kagome missed her mom a lot, and now she had Shiori to take care of. So she decided it was time to take back her life she walked to the window to look out.

It was raining outside but Kagome didn’t care, she put her jacket on and grabbed her umbrella and went out into the rain. She walked instead of taking her car. She walked to the park no one was there except for some homeless people. As she walked in the rain
she thought about her mom. She walked by a tree and would have kept going if she hadn’t saw a small figure huddled on the grass. She bent down to see a little boy, she didn’t see anyone around that seemed to be with him, so she picked him up and decided to take him back to her home so she opened up her jacket and put him inside.

Once she got him home she washed him the best she could and put him in one of the old shirts that she had around. She watched as he slept she noticed he had red hair and a few freckles on his face. Kagome went and took a shower while he slept.

Kagome wasn’t hungry so she just climbed into bed and went to sleep.

The young boy awoke the next morning to find himself in a warm bed.
Kagome came into the bedroom to see the little boy looking around the room. She carefully walked over to him

“Hi.” She said softly and smiled at him.

“Hi, where am I, who are you?” he asked Kagome.

“My name is Kagome, what’s yours?”

“My name is Shippo Xian.” he told her.

“What were you doing in the park alone?” Kagome asked him.
“I ran away from the foster home.” he told her as he looked at his hands.
“Kagome walked over to him and sat down next to him on the bed.
“Shippo do you want to tell me why you ran away?”

“Shippo looked at her, his eyes were green as an emerald. He nodded his head.
“My mom and dad died not to long ago and since I didn’t have any close family I was put in a foster home, everything was fine in the first home I was in, but I had to leave there because there were too many kids in that home. So I was placed in another home run by a man it started out ok but then the man had started treating me different, he began to touch me and one day he took me into his bedroom. “ Shippo told her as he began to cry. Kagome herself was beginning to cry.

“Shippo you don’t have to tell me the rest if you don’t want to.” she told him.

“No I wanna tell you.” he said.

“He took me in his room and he began to kiss me, but he stopped when the doorbell rang he told me not to move he got up and went to answer the door. And while he did that I put my clothes back on and ran out the room and out the back, and since then I’ve been living on my own.” He told her.

“I’m sorry that you had to go through that, do you mind me asking how old you’re?” Kagome asked him.

“I’m 7 years old.” Shippo told her.

“How long have you been living on the street?” She asked.

“For a month now.” he told her as he scratched his head.
“Well if you want to you can stay here with me.” Kagome told him.
“Really!, you don’t mind?”
“No I don’t.” she said smiling at him.
“So I told you about me what about yourself?” Shippo said to her.

Kagome sighed. “Well I’m 17, My mom died not to long ago my dad died when I was 13. I have a younger sister named Shiori who’s 4, who right now is staying with my aunt till I’m able to care for her. I’m also in a band called Queen of hearts, and what have I left out ah yes I have a boyfriend that controls and hits me.” Kagome told him.

“Your boyfriend hits you?” he said as he crawled over to her.
“Yes, he hits me if I do something he doesn’t like or approve of.”
“Then why don’t you leave him?” Shippo asked her.

“I..I can’t we’re bonded.” she told him.
“Oh I see you’re mated he’s demon isn’t he?” Shippo asked.
“How did you know that your only 7?” Kagome asked him.

“I’m a fox demon I know something about it my parents after all were demons.” He told her.

“Kagome is he a powerful demon?” Shippo asked her.

“He’s a dog demon his family has plenty of money.” she explained.


After Kagome and Shippo talked she decide to call Onigumo over and ask him for some advice.
Onigumo came over a hour later, "What's up Kagome?" he asked her

“Hey Onigumo." Kagome greeted, she felt someone tug on her pant legs
She looked down to see Shippo, who had on his now clean pants,
"Kagome is this your boyfriend?" he asked .

Shippo let out a small growl "Don't hurt Kagome" Shippo said protectively standing in front of Kagome barely reaching her thigh.

"No, Shippo this is my friend Onigumo, he's nice, He won't hurt you." she told him. Onigumo looked at the small boy. "Who is he Kags?" Onigumo asked her.

"He's the reason I called you over here, she said as she walked over to the sofa with Onigumo and Shippo following behind her.

Onigumo watched as Shippo sat down next to Kagome.
“Shippo why don’t you go and get us some sodas ok.” she said to him.
“Are you going to be okay?” Shippo asked her.

“I’ll be just fine.” She assured him.

Shippo got up from the sofa and went into the kitchen.
“So Kags what did you want to talk to me about?”

“I want to adopt Shippo can you help me?” Kagome asked him.
“Kagome why do you want to take on something like this after all that you have just been through?” he asked her.

“Because I need to do this so I can prove to my Aunt that I am responsible then I’ll get Shiori back. And plus Shippo has no one both his parent’s died and the home that he was staying in the man abused him.” Kagome told him.




Onigumo sighed he wasn’t going to win this argument . “Alright honey I’ll call my lawyer and get the papers work started.” he told her as he pulled out his cell phone and called his lawyer.

Shippo came in from the kitchen with three cans of sodas he sat them down on the coffee table.

Shippo how do you feel about me adopting you?” Kagome asked him.

“Really I would like that a lot, to be able to stay here with you. Can I call you mama?” Shippo asked her.
Kagome rubbed the top of his head.
“Yes you can.” Kagome said with a smile.
Onigumo finished his phone call and walked over to Kagome and Shippo and sat back down.

“He wants to come over here tomorrow, he’ll bring some papers for you to sign. Of course he’ll want to talk to Shippo but other than that you’re good to go.” He told her as he took a drink of some of his soda.
Kagome looked at Shippo he would need some new clothes and at the moment Kagome was broke.
“I don’t have any clothes for him.” She said to Onigumo.


“Hmm how much money do you need?’ he asked her.

“I don’t know.” she told him.

“Well let’s take him shopping now.” Onigumo said to her as he got up and pulled his car keys out his pant’s pocket.

“Ok I’ll be right back then.” She said happily as she ran up the stairs to get her house keys and purse.
Shippo waited until Kagome was up in her room then he turned to Onigumo.
“Why do you let Mama’s boyfriend hurt her?” Shippo asked him.


"Squirt, I don't let him, she does and she won't allow me to confront him on it." Onigumo said he kneeled down to be even with Shippo. "Between me and you I use to have one hell of a crush on your mom but now it’s more of a brotherly thing and I'll do anything for her, you and Shiori."
he told him Onigumo stood up and smiled and patted him on the head.

Kagome heard what Onigumo had said. She had a crush on him too when they were younger.
"Ok I'm ready she said as she walked over to them.

The three got in Onigumo's jeep and drove off to the mall.
Kagome and Onigumo told Shippo to pick out anything he wanted. While Shippo was busy picking out clothes. Onigumo turned to Kagome to see that she was smiling.
"So have you told Your mate what you're doing?" he asked her.

“No, is that a problem?" Kagome asked
"For you, it could be." Onigumo said seriously.

"You don't think he will get angry over me adopting a child do you?" Kagome said as she watched Shippo pick out some jeans.
“You have also adopted him a son as well." Onigumo said
"I know but. Maybe he'll understand I'm not putting Shippo in his name he'll be in my last name, and Sesshoumaru, seems to love Shiori, wouldn't he like Shippo as well?" she asked Onigumo as Shippo took all his new clothes up to the register with some help from the sales lady.

“It's Sesshomaru were talking about here, expect the unexpected." Onigumo said walking over to cash register and handing the sales attendant his credit card not caring to look at the receipt he put both in his wallet while he waited for more directions from Kagome.
Kagome dragged Onigumo and Shippo around to a few more stores and finally the three went to the food court and ate some lunch afterwards Onigumo drove back to Kagome’s home.

Onigumo helped take all the shopping bags into the house before he went home promising to be at the house tomorrow when his lawyer came over.

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


After the lawyer came and talked to Shippo Onigumo told Kagome that he would stay with Shippo while she went and talked with her Aunt Kindra.
When Kagome got to her Aunt’s house she rang the doorbell. Her aunt came to the door.
Kagome I’m glad to see you how have you been?” she asked as Kagome came in the house closing the door behind her.

“I’ve been fine how’ s Shiori doing?” Kagome asked her.

“She’s doing fine she’s in the yard playing.”

“Aunt Kindra the reason I came here was to take Shiori back home with me where she belongs.” Kagome told her.


“I don’t know Kagome the last time you had her she burned her hands.” she told her.
“I know but I’m better now I even adopted a little boy.” she told her aunt.

“Kagome how could you do something like that how can you support this child, Shiori and yourself?” she asked her.

“I’ll get a job I have a contract with Tashio Inc, I will be able to support them.” Kagome told her.

Shiori came in from the yard to see Kagome talking to her Aunt. Shiori ran in the room and jumped into Kagome’s arms.

“Kagome! you’re here, are you going to take me home?” Shiori asked her.
Kagome looked at her Aunt, her Aunt Kindra sighed she saw how happy Shiori was to see her big sister.
“Shiori go and pack your bags your going home with Kagome.” Their Aunt Kindra said to her.
Shiori got off of Kagome’s lap and ran up to get her things.
“Thank you Aunt Kindra.” Kagome said.
Shiori came back down with her bag’s, Kagome walked over to Shiori and took her bags from her.
“Come on Shiori let’s go home I have a surprise for you.” Kagome told her as she took her small hand in hers.

Kagome made sure Shiori was secure in her seat belt before she drove off.
Kagome came home she parked the car in front of the house and helped Shiori out of the car. Shiori ran up to the door Kagome smiled at her.
Kagome took her key out and unlocked the door.
“I’m home.” Kagome said as she and Shiori walked inside the house. Onigumo came out the kitchen with Shippo following behind him. Shiori saw Shippo walk out with Onigumo.

Shiori walked over to Shippo.

“Hi” she said with a smile.

“It’s okay Shippo this is my sister Shiori.” Kagome said to him Shippo stepped out from behind Onigumo.

“She looks like you mama.” Shippo said as he looked at Shiori.

“Mama?” Shiori repeated she looked at Kagome. “Did you and Sesshou-kun have a baby Kagome?” Shiori asked her.

“No sweetheart I adopted Shippo.” Kagome told her.
“So is Shippo my nephew Shiori asked her.

“Yeah I guess so.” Kagome said to her.

“Well I’ll be going.” Onigumo said as he took out his car keys.
Kagome walked Onigumo to the door.
“Thanks for everything.” She told him.

“Your welcome what are friends for, just take care of your family Kags, I’ll see you soon.” he told hand left.


Kagome locked the front door and turned around to see Shippo and Shiori watching cartoons on the T.V., as she looked at them she thought about how she was going to tell Sesshoumaru that she adopted Shippo.

After Kagome fed the kids she decide that for the night both kids could sleep with her, and tomorrow she would begin the task of moving into her mom’ s room and give Shippo her bedroom.

After a few days Kagome had cleaned out her mom’s room, as well as her old bedroom with help from Shippo and Shiori. With a heavy heart She moved a lot of her mom’s things into the basement .


2weeks later



Kagome enrolled Shippo into Patrick’s elementary school and the good thing was the Shippo’s school was only a couple of blocks form Shiori’ s preschool.
After she dropped Shippo and Shiori off at school, Kagome drove to her school. She parked her trusty old green convertible in the school parking lot. Kagome grabbed her purple book bag out the passenger seat and went inside the school.

Kagome went inside the school and went to her locker and opened it, she wasn’t to far behind in her schoolwork thanks to her friends bringing the work home for her or emailing to her.

Kagome placed her books she didn’t need right now in her locker and closed it. She went to her first period class and took her old seat.
Class had not yet started students were still coming in the classroom.

Koharu walked in and saw Kagome reading, Koharu walked over to her.

“Kagome hey, I didn’t know you were coming back today.” Koharu said as she sat down in the desk next to Kagome's’

“Oh Koharu, I hadn’t planned on coming, I was going to stay at home but I decided with Shiori back in school I should go too, no need to stay home and just lay around the house.” she told her.

“So then Inu, and the rest don’t know you’re here then?” She asked.

“Nope I wanted to surprise them.” she said with a smile.
Kagome and Koharu were talking when Rin walked in the room, she saw Kagome talking very intently to Koharu. Kagome looked at her, Rin walked passed the two and took her seat in the back.

The teacher came in and the student’s took their seats, before the class was over Kagome had a project due next Friday and a test next Monday. She was going to have to figure out how to do her work and help Shippo and Shiori with theirs.

The bell rang singling it was time to go to the next class.

Kagome walked out the class and went to her next class which was Feudal History.

Inuyasha, was sitting in his seat when he saw the raven haired beauty, “Kagome!” he called.
Kagome smiled as she walked over to him.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back today?” He asked her as she sat down in front of him.
“I wanted to surprise all of you.” she told him.
“So how are you feeling?”
“I’m good I have a test, I didn’t see Onigumo in class is he here today?” she asked Inuyasha.

“I think so.” he told her.

Kagome went to her classes it was now lunchtime Kagome reacquainted herself with her friends.
“We missed you Kags.” Ayame said as she hugged her.

“I missed you guys too.” Kagome told them.

Onigumo walked over to his friends he saw Kagome hugged him.

Onigumo sat down and it was like old times, Miroku getting slapped, Inuyasha eating his ramen. Alean came out the school to see Kagome sitting next to Sango.

Alean walked over to them.
“Hey Kagome.” Alean said as he sat down next to Onigumo kissing him on the lips.

“Hi Alean.” Kagome said to her.


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

So she’s back.” Kagura said.
Rin nodded her head. “Does he know?” Kagura asked Rin.
“I don’t know.” Rin told her as they walked over to their table. Kanna and Koharu were already seated.

Sess, Naraku and Hiten came out the school and were walking to their table when the scent of apples and cinnamon came across his nose. He stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to see Kagome sitting with her friends. Inuyasha turned his head to see Sesshoumaru looking his way.

Kagome felt someone looking at her, she turned around to Sesshoumaru in all his glory, he was wearing a black short sleeve shirt that showed off his muscles. Kagome stood up and ran to him. She buried her head in his chest, it was the first time she had seen him since her mom ‘s funeral, Kikyo smiled.
“I missed you Sessho I’m sorry I didn’t call you and let you know I was coming today.” she said as she looked up at him finally.

Sesshoumaru looked at her, he ran his hand through her hair.

“It’s okay Kagome you needed time alone.” he said to her.

“I want to spend my lunch time with you alone.” she said to him.
Sesshoumaru smiled at her he went over to where her friends were and picked up her bag and walked back over to her, he took her hand in his and the two walked away from their friends and went and sat down under a empty tree Kagome sat down between his legs.

“How is Shiori doing?” he asked her.
“She’s doing ok, she’s back home with me.” She told him.
Sesshoumaru pulled her closer to him he smelled her hair it smelled of strawberries.

“It’s been so long since we made love koi.” he said as he licked the side of her neck.
Kagome turned around to him, she kissed him on his lips, he opened his mouth their tongues meant. She ran her hands through his hair, her hand slid down to his pants, she began to unzip his jeans.

“We can’t do this not with all these people around.” he told her.

She nipped at his lip. “No but don’t you want to?” she said and grinned at him.

It was becoming difficult for him his beast wanted to come out and take her here, before them all. He kissed her hard and lifted her off of him, the bell was getting ready to ring.

The bell rang ending the lunch.

Kagome walked with Sesshoumaru back inside the school she wanted him but she would have to wait.

He walked her to her class.

“Oh I wanted to tell you Sesshou that I want to go back in the studio and finish recording the album.” she told him.

“Are you sure you’re ready for that?” he asked her.

“Yes.” she said and kissed him and went into her class.

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

School was over now and Kagome left and went to go and pick up Shippo and Shiori.
Kagome was coming out of Patrick elementary with Shippo they were the last two out the school since Shippo couldn’t find his book so they were late they walked to her car when she saw Sesshoumaru pull up and get out his BMW.

Kagome grabbed Shippo by the hand and hurried him into her car

"Who is that?" Shippo asked her as he got in the car.
Kagome went to get in the driver's side when Sesshoumaru grabbed her by the arm.


She reached her other arm behind her searching for the car door handle grasping it she yanked it opened and pulled her arm free of her mates grip getting a mean cut by his deadly claws.
Kagome quickly got into the car and slammed her foot onto the gas and headed to Shiori's school.

"Mommy your bleeding." Shippo cried as Kagome pulled up to Shiori's pre school.
"Stay in the car Shippo, I'll be right out." Kagome told him she ran inside the school
she helped Shiori put her jacket on. Kagome picked Shiori up and came out the school to see Sesshoumaru waiting for her.

"Shit." Kagome cursed, "Shiori don't talk to Sesshomaru get in the car with Shippo.”


Shiori looked at Kagome, but did as she was told Shippo helped Shiori in. Sesshoumaru walked over to Kagome.
"Who is that child?" Sesshoumaru asked her.
"My son." she said to him.

Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow at that, "Your son?" he repeated. Kagome looked to see Shiori and Shippo watching them.

"I adopted him." she told him backing away.
Sesshoumaru was angry, she adopted some child without asking him first.
"You adopted a child without asking me!" He yelled at her.
"I was going to tell you." she said him.

In the car Shiori wondered what Sesshoumaru and Kagome were talking about.

"Shippo what's going on?" Shiori asked him.

"Their arguing...about me." Shippo said..

"Why? what did you do?" she asked him.
"I was adopted." Shippo said sadly.

*********************************************************** ***************************
"I'm not asking you to help me with Shippo, Sess, I adopted him because he needed a home someone to look after him, now I have to get them home so they can do their homework and have dinner." she told him.

"How can I have nothing to do with my mates son" He growled.

"Then why don't you act like it instead of getting angry!" she yelled at him.

Before Kagome could apologize Sesshomaru back handed her his claws leaving four gashes on her face.
Tears came to her eyes as she touched her face where it was bleeding. Shiori was crying she saw Kagome get hit, Shippo went to get out the car, when he saw her get hit.
"No Shippo don't go." Shiori cried.
Kagome was angry she slapped Sesshoumaru back.

She covered her mouth in shock that she just hit Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru growled in anger that she hit him.
She ran to the car got in and drove off with two crying kids, she wasn't going home right now.
She went to Koharu's house.

Kagome was sobbing hysterically as were the kids as she drove to Koharu's house.
Although the pain in her face was immense she couldn't help but feel some pride in the fact that she struck back.

She pulled up to Koharu's house and rang the doorbell. Koharu was inside doing her homework when the doorbell rang.
She went to the door and opened it to see Kagome, Shiori and Shippo crying and Kagome bleeding. "Oh my god Kagome what happened?" she said as they walked inside, closing the door.

"Sesshoumaru and I got into a fight.” she said as Shiori had finally stopped crying.
Shippo wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Over what?" Koharu asked
"Me." Shippo said.
"Here let me help you." She told her Kagome put Shiori down.
Koharu turned the tv on for the two while she took Kagome into the bathroom to help her with her wounds.
"These are pretty deep and he seems to have used some of his poison for it to scar." Koharu said.
"He must have been pissed no make up around here will be able to cover this up, he did this to you so his friends could laugh and know that you had crossed their leader.”

"I slapped him back Koharu and it felt good, and when I go to school tomorrow I know he's going to come at me, but I'll be ok, afraid but ok." she said as Koharu cleaned the wounds and put some bandages on them.
"You can stay here tonight and borrow some of my clothes for school tomorrow." Koharu told her.

"What about my son and my sister?" Kagome asked.


"I have some clothes I think will fit Shiori, and if your son doesn't mind my cousin left a pair of jeans and a shirt here." she told her as Kagome stood and looked at herself in the mirror, she blinked when she saw what was in the middle of her forehead. A crescent moon.
Koharu looked and saw it too.
"You belong to him." she said to Kagome.

Kagome walked out the bathroom Shiori had fallen asleep.
Shippo was still awake. "Shippo I want you to know that what you saw does not change the fact that you're my son. I won't give you up no matter what he says." Kagome told him hugging him.
"Where going to stay here tonight and I'll take you two, to school but my Aunt Kindra will pick you two up I have practice". Kagome told him.

Next Day

Kagome was dressed in one of Koharu's tight white old navy tops and lowrise hip hugger jeans.


Kagome pulled her hair forward hoping to cover her scar. Shippo and Shiori were in the kitchen eating cereal. "Mommy you look pretty”. Shippo said to her.
"Thank you Shippo." Shiori got up from the table and hugged Kagome.

"Please don't leave me like Mommy did." Shiori told her.
"Oh Sweetie I'm not going anywhere I promise". She said her.

"Come on my little Chibi." Kagome said "Its time to go too school, Koharu are you driving with us?” Kagome asked her.
"Yeah." Koharu said as she grabbed her book bag.

The four of them got into Kagome's car and drove off Kagome dropped Shiori off first.


Kagome kissed Shiori on the cheek as she left her at school.
She did the same for Shippo reminding him that her Aunt would be picking him up.
After that Kagome and Koharu went to school Kagome to a deep breath as she parked her car.
It seemed everyone was staring at her.

“What are they staring at?" Kagome asked Koharu.
“Could it be the crescent moon on your forehead? or the four gashes on your skin that reek of Sesshomaru?" Koharu asked.


Kagome walked passed them and into the school, she went straight to her locker. she grabbed her books that she needed and the ones she didn't she put in the locker.
she slammed her locker shut , she saw Naraku and Hiten coming her way. Koharu had left to go too her gym class.

"What do you two want?” Kagome growled out jerking her head up making her scars visible.
"You should watch that mouth of yours, isn't that what got you in trouble yesterday?" Naraku asked her.
Kagome looked at them, "Just wanted to tell you that Sess, says that you better be at our table at lunch or else.” Naraku told her.

Kagome walked away from them and went to her class, she got a note from the teacher and went to go too the bathroom. she went and looked at herself in the mirror, her scars weren't as bad as they were yesterday. She washed her hands and re bandaged her wounds.
She walked out to the bathroom and went to go back to her class when she bumped right into Sess.

“Just the person I was looking for." he said.
"Leave me alone." she told him.
Sesshoumaru pushed her against the wall. "Get rid of that boy." he ordered her.
"No, I love him." she said.

"Don’t you love me?” he asked her.

"You know I love you!" Kagome yelled.
"The real question is do you love me?" she asked

"Yes I love you I told you that a million times." he told her.
"Look what you did to me." she said. she pushed him away and ran.
She ran into Onigumo. “Kagome?"
Kagome ran into his arms Onigumo hugged her, he kissed her on her cheek,just as Sesshoumaru came around the corner to apologize, he had felt a pain in his heart when she ran from him.

"Kags." Onigumo called to her "Kags what happened to your face?"

Sesshoumaru saw Kagome in the embrace of Onigumo, his eyes flashed red, he stalked over to them and pulled Kagome away form Onigumo.

"Let me go!" Kagome yelled.

"Quiet!" Sesshoumaru yelled at her.
"No leave him alone, he was just comforting me." she said to him.

"You touched what's mine?" It was more a statement than question.
Onigumo narrowed his eyes at him.

"I wouldn't had to touch her if you hadn't hurt her." he told him. The next thing the two were fighting in the halls.


“Stop it Sesshomaru!” She screamed..
Unknown to the three all the classrooms around had come out once the fight broke out.



Inuyasha, Miroku and Koga jumped into the fight along with Naraku and Hiten, Sango, Ayame , and Kikyo came and saw what was going on.

"Stop it!" Kagome screamed
"What are you looking at bitch?" Kagura said to Sango.


Sango jumped her, causing them to fight it took a couple of teacher's to pull them off each other.
"Enough!” One of the teachers yelled..
The group stopped and was taken to the principal’ s office.

“Mr. Taski I am very surprised at you.” He said to Sesshoumaru.

“I expect this behavior from those four." he said as he pointed to Inuyasha , Onigumo, Miroku, and Koga.


Sesshomaru said nothing as he looked at Kagome.

Kagome looked at Onigumo his eye was turning black, she wouldn’t look at Sesshoumaru his shirt was torn his lip bled a little but that was about it..

The principal turned to her. “Ms. Higurashi would you care to tell me what happened?”

“It was a misunderstanding." she said.

Kagura's hair had been pulled out of place, Kanna clothes had been ripped, Rin had a black eye. Kikyo had a scratch on her face, Ayame's hair had been pulled as well.
Sango's hand was wrapped in a bandage. Inuyasha’s nose was bleeding.
Koga had some bruised ribs. Miroku had a bump on his head. Both Naraku and Hiten had black eyes.

"And what pray tell was that misunderstanding about that led to an all out battle against opposing scenes?" The principle asked
No one spoke.
"Well since no one wants to tell me what happened you all have detention. for the rest of the week.." The Principal told them.


"I expect all of you there after school today." He dismissed them.


"I'm sorry." Kagome apologized, she took turns hugging each of her friends.


***No one went to lunch***.


School was now over but 13 teens had detention one by one they came in the empty room.
Inu sat next to Onigumo, Miroku sat next to Koga, Sango sat next to Kagome, Ayame next to Kikyo
Naraku sat next to Sess, while Hiten sat in front of them.
Rin and Kanna and Kagura sat next to each other.

Every now and then Kagura would glance over at Kagome.

Naraku was mad he knew it was Inuyasha that had hit him in the fight.
he also knew he would be getting a mouthful once he got home for fighting with family.
"What is your dad going to say when you get home?" Naraku asked Sesshoumaru.

“Nothing because he’s not going to find out, and neither will your dad not with the money our parent’s give this school every year.” Sesshoumaru said to Naraku.

Naraku's cell phone went off he looked at who was calling him it was his dad.
“Are you going to heal her?” Hiten asked Sesshoumaru.
"I used my poison." Sesshomaru said

"Anyways I doubt Kagome or her little protectors will let me near her to even try to heal her."
"They won't be at the studio, and didn't she sign a contract where she has to meet with you everyday?" Naraku asked as he answered his phone.
"If they show." Sesshomaru said.

“Dad what a surprise, what made you want to call me?" Naraku said as he looked at Kagura.
"Oh you and mom are going out of town for the week, yes I’ll make sure the house is in one piece.” Naraku said. Thinking about the party he was going to throw now that his parent’s would be out of town. Naraku hung up the phone.
“Party?” Hiten asked.
"Yeah, tonight they’re leaving now.”

Naraku looked at Kagura he saw her hair was back in place now but she had a bruise on her left cheek. She would be okay he knew it, his eyes scanned the room and landed on Sango. Thanks to Alean, Naraku and his friends all knew that Sango had a crush on him.


“Do you two know how much trouble you would be in if your dad’ s knew what you did to your mates.” Hiten said with a smirk.
Hiten started laughing., he was laughing so hard tears were coming in his eyes." I'm so glad my dad stays out my life." he said as Naraku narrowed his eyes at him.

"What if your mom found out about how you do Koharu." Naraku hissed shutting Hiten up instantly.

"I don't leave marks on mine, what if your dad found out about Kagura?" he retorted.
Naraku groaned.
"I would be rendered unconscious and neutered to put things lightly." he said.


Sesshoumaru's cell went off, he slowly answered it. he knew it was his dad, he could sweet talk his mom.

“Hello father." Sesshomaru said

“No I won’t be home tonight I’m staying over at Naraku’ s I’ll come and get something, she’s fine.” he said as he looked at the back of Kagome’ s head. “Yes I’ll tell her.” sesshoumaru said to his dad.

"Your Mother and I bought you the graduation present you so desperately wanted though you won’t get it till after graduation.” his dad told him."

“Thanks Dad, I’ll talk to you later.” Sesshoumaru told his dad and ended the call.

“My dad brought the home for me.” Sess told Hiten and Naraku.

“Wait the home you were looking at last week?” Hiten asked.
“Yeah though I can’t have it till after graduation.” he told him.


******************************************************** ********************************
Kagome rubbed her face

"Kags we don't have to go too the studio if you don't want to." Kikyo told her. "No I want to go I said I would and I am." she told her.
Inu was still mad Naraku had hit him his nose, It had finally stopped bleeding.
Koga rested his head on the desk. Onigumo looked up to see Alean standing in the doorway.

He waved her over to them she just gave a half smile and walked over to him.
“Oni, what happened to you?” she asked in a concerned voice.
“I got into a fight with Sesshoumaru.” he told her.
Naraku looked at Alean as did Sesshoumaru.
“Oh my poor baby I’ll, make you feel better later when I come over.” she whispered in his ear.
“Well I’ll see you later then.” Alean told him and stood up.
Alean walked out the room but not before handing both Kagura and Naraku a piece of paper.

Sesshoumaru looked at his watch detention would soon be over. He got up and walked over to Kagome.

She looked at him out the corner of her eye. "What do you want?" Kagome asked
"Can I talk to you alone please?" He asked her.

“So you can hit me?" she said.

"No." Sesshomaru said sadly.

Kagome looked at him, she bit her bottom lip, she noticed his lip had healed. She got up and walked with him out in the hallway.

"I'm sorry that I hit you like I did, I will never hit you like that ever again, I love you, I was just angry at seeing Onigumo touching you that way."

"And I'm going to apologize to Shiori when I see her again." he said as he touched the marks on her face that he gave her. "I would like to try and heal this for you." he told her.

"And what about to Shippo, he's been through so much and he blames himself for me getting hurt." Kagome said.
"Yes I'll apologize to him and let him know I was upset that you didn't tell me about him, if you give me the chance I like to get to know him." he told her.

“You won’t hurt him?” she asked him.

"What!?, no I mean it I want to get to know him, I care about Shiori, you know that just give me a chance with Shippo, we'll all go to the Carnival tomorrow night." He told her.

"I’m not doing this for you, but for Shippo." Kagome said as she returned to the room.


Sesshoumaru was going to have to be on his best behavior at least till after he graduated,. He walked back in the room he pulled Kagome to him before she could leave and licked her wounds, his tongue seemed to stop the pain.
Her wounds were healed almost from his tongue he looked at her there was only slight scar now barely visible.

Kagome bit down on her tongue stopping the moan that threatened to be released as she pulled away and walked over to her friends.
Sesshoumaru gathered his things the bell was getting ready to ring.
Naraku looked at Sesshoumaru he was in a good mood all the sudden.

"What the hell are you so happy about now?" Naraku asked him.
"Let's just say I'm back on her good side." he said with a smile.

"You're smiling that's never good what are you planning now?" Naraku asked him.
Sess didn't answer.
" What's that a little love letter from Alean?" Sess asked Naraku as Naraku opened the note.

“ Why don't we get together meet me later at the spot." Naraku and Sesshomaru read silently.
"You going?" Sess asked him.
"Maybe, speaking of tramps I saw your ex in the gym." Naraku told him.
“Which one?” Sesshoumaru asked him.
“Kohana.” Naraku said.

“Kohana" Sesshomaru said remembering the time he had with brown haired beauty
"She was a pretty good lay, so what about her?" he said.


"She's still afraid of you, rumor is she's looking for Kagome so she can tell her how you treated her." he told him as they walked out the classroom. Hiten walked with them to the car.
"You know all the guys won't date her because their afraid of what you'll do if they try to date Kohana." Hiten told him.

"Who cares about what that bitch does." Sesshomaru said
"Did you not hear me say she's looking for Kagome?" Naraku said to him.

“She doesn't have the guts to say anything to her." Sesshomaru said.

"And if she does then what?" Hiten asked as they watched some of the senior girls walk pass them, smiling at them.

"She won’t, simple as that." Sess said.
"So sure of yourself huh, well here she comes." Naraku said as Kohana was walking to her car.

Sess watched as Kagome and her friends drove off as Kohana walked by.
“Hey Kohana been running that mouth of yours lately?" Hiten asked.
"If your talking about Kagome that’s where I’m heading now." Kohana said getting in her car and driving off.


Sesshoumaru got in his car and left speeding after Kohana,
Kohana made it to Tashio Inc.
Sesshoumaru arrived a few minutes after her, after almost hitting another car. Sesshoumaru ran in the building.
Kohana saw a girl with black hair go into a room. With his demon speed Sess caught up to Kohana and put one hand on her mouth and the other around her waist. He dragged her away into an empty office room.


"You can do all you want to me, but I will speak to her." She said.
"And tell her what, that you were a greedy bitch and all you were after was my money!" he yelled.
Kohana looked at him. "You bastard you took everything from me!" she yelled.


“As I remember you loved it, you even begged for it." he said as he circled her.
"Let her go Sesshoumaru don't do her like you did me and other girls." she said.
"She’s my mate, I will only let her go if I die or I find another." Sesshomaru said.

"So you marked her huh, none of us were worthy enough just her?" she said.
"Because of you no guy will date me, do you know how much that hurts?" she asked him.

"I did them a favor." Sesshomaru said.


Kohana cried there was no way she could stand against Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru watched as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

She wasn’t strong like Kayami who had dated Sesshoumaru in the 9th grade, then there was Akina she was small like Kagome. Sesshoumaru had dated her in the 10th grade but before the 10th grade was over he had begun dating her.

Kohana looked at him. “I’m going home I know what it’s like to be in your grasp.” Kohana said to him as she went to open the door.

“Kohana.” Sesshoumaru called. Kohana stopped and turned to look at him.

“If I find out that you talked to Kagome your last two months at school will be hell.” he warned her.

Kohana opened the door and walked out the room. Sesshoumaru walked out the room and went into his office and thought about Kagome.

---

Kagome, Sango, Ayame, Kikyo and Koharu had been practicing for 4 hours. Kagome stretched as they finished for the day they had put down six songs on the album.
“Koharu can you get a ride home Sango?” Kagome asked her.
“Yeah, are you ok?” Koharu asked her.
“Yeah just something I have to do.” Kagome told her.

Kagome watched as her friends went home, she walked down to Sesshoumaru’s office.

She knocked on the door before walking in, Kagome walked in to see Sesshoumaru eating, he wiped his mouth.

“Practice over already?” he asked.

"Yeah four hours is usually enough." Kagome said flatly.
Kagome sat down in the chair in front of his desk, "Why don't you ever talk about any of your ex girlfriends?" she asked him.
Does she know...damn I hope not if so Kohana will pay. Sesshomaru thought.
" I mean you never say anything about them , like why you broke up, did you love them? you know what happened between me and Inuyasha. She said.

“No I didn't love them" Sesshomaru said "They were just toys I kept around for the 'ride”

"I see, I heard they were beautiful, I never saw them though. if we're going to be together, and have kids of our own eventually. I need to know that you will treat Shippo and Shiori right." she said as her cell phone rang.

Raising her hand to silence Sesshoumaru's answer she took the call.
"Hello Aunt Kindra? is there something wrong with the kids?" Kagome asked.
"Hi, Kagome no, they just wanted to say hi to you." her Aunt said.
"Hi Mama, when are you coming to get us?" Shippo asked her.
"I'll be there soon ok, let me speak to Shiori?" she said to him. "Hello." Kagome heard Shiori say. " Hello my chibi, you being a good girl?" she asked Shiori.

"Yeah Kagome are you okay?" Shiori asked "Is Sesshomaru there?" Kagome almost cried as she detected the fear and hurt in her sisters voice.

"Yes my little chibi , Sesshoumaru's there but don’t worry okay he wont hurt me." Kagome tried to reassure her.
"You promise?" Shiori asked her.
" I promise." Kagome told her and hung up the phone. “I hope your happy Shiori is afraid of you." Kagome told him as she put her phone back in her bag.
Sesshoumaru looked at her and cleared his throat.

"Lots of people fear me." He said though she could tell knowing Shiori feared him was a blow to his ego and self respect.
"I will make it up to her." he told her, and to answer your first question Shippo and Shiori will be treated with the respect they deserve." he told her.
"I have to go and pick them up, can I go?" she asked him.

"You are excused" Sesshomaru said as Kagome walked out of the room and a lone tear fell.
"What about me?" Kagome asked quietly "When will I be treated with the respect I deserve?"

Kagome got into her car and drove to her Aunt Kindra's home when she got there she parked the car and rang the doorbell. Her Aunt opened the door. Kagome walked inside. " Are they ready?" Kagome asked her.
"Shippo, Shiori, Kagome is here." she said calling them the two kids ran out form the kitchen and ran to Kagome hugging her legs.
"Okay you two get your coats so we can get going." Kagome told them.
The kids grabbed their coats and said their goodbyes to Kagome's aunt and left with Kagome on the way home Kagome told them that they would be going to the carnival with her and Sesshoumaru.

Shippo growled at the mention of Sesshoumaru's name and Shiori whimpered.

"It'll be okay he wants to apologize to you two, I'll be there the whole time." Kagome tried to assure the two young ones as she pulled up to their home. Shippo and Shiori followed her into the house.

Kagome helped Shippo with his homework, there wasn't much for Shiori to do but practice writing her name. After she fed them and gave them a bath she tucked them into bed and went into her room to change and prayed that tomorrow things would go smooth at school and the carnival.

Next day at school:

Kagome was at her locker when Kagura and Kanna walked over to her. "So Kagome going to the carnival tonight with Sesshoumaru?" Kagura said to her.
"Why do you want to know, it's none of your business what I do with him." she said to her. "I be careful if I were you, you don't want to end up like the last girls he’s dated.."
Kagura said with a smile. "Well see ya, we have graduation practice." Kagura said and left.

Kagome went to class, while the seniors went into the auditorium for practice.
“What happened to the other girls" Kagome wondered aloud "Was she warning me or what?"
In the auditorium, Kagura and them were already seated when , Kohana, came in followed by Kayami and Akina.


"Akina have you gained weight?" Kagura asked.
Akina turned her head and looked at her, she had black hair and grey eyes.

“Kagura what are you on your 6th or 7th abortion of this year" Akina said
Kagura growled, Hiten laughed." You little twit how dare you, least I have a guy." Kagura said to her.

"Kagura why don't you shut up!" Kayami yelled at her.

"Make me whore!" Kagura growled.

Kohana spoke, "Let it go Kayami just ignore her, you have better things to do then worry about that so called cheerleader, she's just upset that she's not as popular as she once was, since Kagome came along." Kohana said.

Kagura growled but knew better than to insult what was Sesshoumaru's.
Kayami turned her gaze towards Sesshoumaru. "What no hello for your former girlfriend?" Kayami said to him.

“Girlfriends" Akina corrected

"Sessho only wanted a wam bam thank you mam." Kohana said bitterly "Who knew that thank you would be scars."
"Of course how could one forget, how long before you dump Kagome?" Kayami asked him.

"You can't dump a mate Kayami" Kohana said "You can disown her."
"So you mated her, how sweet will she have your heirs?" Kayami said.

"You know Kohana , you have a lot of mouth all the sudden do not forget what I told you yesterday." Sess told her as the bell rang.
Sesshoumaru left the auditorium and left to go and find Kagome.

He walked outside the school and found Kagome sitting with her friends eating lunch.

"So what's going on with you and Kagome?" Hiten asked him.
"Nothing." Sesshomaru said truthfully.
"Aren't you going to the carnival tonight though?" Hiten asked him.
"Yes she's bringing that kid she adopted, the problem is every time I look at her I want to have sex with her, the last time I was with her was on the trip." he told them.

"So hit it tonight" Hiten said.
"Hard to do that with kids in the house." Sesshoumaru said "Besides I hardly think she wants to.”

“She was pissed over you fighting her friends and how you marred her face" Naraku said
"Her face is healed now, I just need to be nice to the kid, Shiori won't be that difficult to get back on my side." he said as he saw Rin, Kagura and Kanna walking over to them.

”You’re a daddy now he’s your son.” Hiten said to him.
"My what?!, he is not my son." he growled.
“He is your mates son. and from what I heard from Koharu he hasn't had it easy" Hiten said
He thought about it "I'll see how I feel after tonight." he told him.
"Right now I need to deal with three exes.”
He told them as he saw Kohana, Akina and Kayami talking. he got up from the table and went to confront them.

Sesshoumaru walked over to the three girls and sat down beside them and looked at them before he spoke.
Kagome approached him to ask him about their carnival 'date'.

" Sess about tonight what time should I be ready?" she asked him.
That’s when she noticed the three girls
He turned his head to her and stood up, "7", he told her as he moved her away from Kohana and the other two.

"Who are those girls?" Kagome asked him.
"You must be Kagome." Kohana spoke

Kagome looked at her, "Who are you?" Kagome asked her,
"Kohana" The girl answered "That is Akina and Kayami."

"Kagome we'll talk later why don't you go and finish eating with your friends." Sesshoumaru told her.

"Why do you want me to leave" Kagome asked

"Be cause if you must know these are my ex girlfriends and you don't need to be around them." he told her.


"Yes I must know...what do you mean ex. girlfriends I thought you said they were just toys?" Kagome asked

Sesshoumaru dragged Kagome away, as he glared at Kohana, he was going to make her pay for this later he pulled Kagome inside the school, and into the music room.

"Stay away from them." he said to her as he watched her confused face.

"What for?, Kagome asked "Unless your still with them." she said.
He narrowed his eyes at her, "I'm not Inuyasha I don't cheat." he told her as he walked over to her.
“Your right, your not Inuyasha, Inu would never hurt me." Kagome said, taking one step back.

"No?, didn't it hurt to find out that he wanted your cousin instead of you?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.

“Not as much as having you hit me in front of my son and my sister...not as much as you choosing your friends over me..not as much as you dictating my life." Kagome said.

"I was wrong to hit you, and I have never chose my friends over you, the only part of your life I am dictating is your music career which you signed the papers too." he yelled at her.

“Oh and telling me where to sit at lunch..when to be at your house..and dragging me around like a doll is not dictating?" Kagome said "And you do too choose Kagura and Rin over me any day!"

"Kagura is nothing to me, Rin is like a sister, this conversation is over I'll see you tonight." he told her and left the room.

"See there you go again!" Kagome screamed after him.

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

That afternoon Kagome was at home. "Shippo, Shiori I want you to be on your best behavior tonight." Kagome told them. "If Sesshoumaru comes while I'm in the shower let him in ok." she told the two as she went to get ready.

Kagome had only been in the shower ten minutes before there was a knock on the door.

Shiori sat on the sofa as Shippo went to the front door and answered it.
Shippo answered the door to see Sesshoumaru looking at him.
Shippo growled loudly at Sesshoumaru as a warning before sitting on the Sofa protectively guarding Shiori.

He walked in closing the door behind him.
Sesshoumaru walked over to the two. " Shiori, I'm sorry that I scared you." Sesshoumaru said to her as he bent down to her.
Shippo growled and bared his fangs at Sesshoumaru.
Puffing his chest out he stood on the couch, his tail twitching back and fourth.

Sesshoumaru looked at him but turned his attention back towards Shiori, who was looking at him with her blue eyes that reminded him so much of Kagome.

"Sessho-kun you hurt Kagome." she said to him.
"I know little one, I was angry I should have never hurt her." he told her.

Shiori slid off the couch and stood in front of Sesshoumaru she placed her small hands on his face. Shippo watched from his seat.
Shiori put her little arms around Sesshoumaru's neck and nuzzled it with her nose.
Sesshoumaru put his arms around her.

"Am I forgiven?” he asked her.
Shiori looked at him and nodded her head.
Sesshoumaru picked her up and sat down with her on his lap while he sat next to Shippo.

Shippo didn't care if his aunt forgave Sesshoumaru or not, it would take hell to freeze over before he ever forgave the demon that caused harm to his mother.

"Are you mad at Shippo?" Shiori asked Sesshoumaru.
"No Shi, I'm not mad at your nephew." Sesshoumaru said.
"Since Shippo is your son now, does that mean that I won't have anymore nephews or niece's ?" she asked Sesshoumaru.


Kagome finished getting dressed, she put some lip gloss on and grabbed her keys, and came down the steps to see Shiori sitting comfortable in Sesshoumaru's lap.
One down, two to go. Kagome thought.

"Hey, glad to see you made up with her." Kagome said as she handed Shippo his jacket. "Kagome, Sessho-kun is taking us to the carnival tonight, can we go now please she said as she let Sesshoumaru put her jacket on.

“Yes, Chibi were going." Kagome said.
Shippo groaned. "Mom I don't feel good." Shippo moaned going into a fake coughing fit.
"My foreheads hot." Shippo mumbled. as Kagome went to feel his forehead he mumbled ‘foxfire’.
Sesshoumaru heard every thing, as Kagome felt his forehead.

"You do feel warm, I guess we can't go." Kagome said. Shiori didn't like that.
"But I want to go." Shiori cried looking at Sesshoumaru.

Shippo did feel bad about disappointing his aunt, but in his mind he made a note to make it up to her, there was no way he was gonna let this demon hurt his mom.

"I'm sorry Shiori." Kagome said to her. Shiori took her coat off,
"Sessho-kun, can you stay for dinner then?" Shiori asked him.
Please say no please say no. Shippo chanted in his head

"Of course Shi.." he said as he locked eyes with Shippo.
“Darn it." Shippo muttered.
Shiori smiled, " Come on Shippo let's get ready for dinner or are you to sick?" she asked him.

"Hai, lets get ready." Shippo and Shiori went and washed their hands, while Kagome and Sess went into the kitchen, he took some vegetables and began chopping them.

"I'm sorry that Shippo isn't feeling to well, poor Shiori was so hurt by this maybe we can do something special for her birthday." Kagome said as she helped him with the salad.

Shiori came down followed by Shippo. as dinner was being served Shippo who was normally talkative was quiet.
"Kagome I was thinking that after I graduate that you, Shippo and Shiori would move in with me, at my new home." He said to her.

Shiori was beaming, but Shippo only scowled.
"I guess that would be okay." Kagome said.
"Would they have to change schools?" Kagome asked him.

"Once I fully adopt Shippo, yes." Sesshomaru said making the kitsune gag.

Kagome smiled at him. "Really you want to adopt him?" Kagome said as she got up and hugged Sesshoumaru. "Okay when do you want to do this?" she asked Sesshoumaru as she poured him another glass of lemonade.

"Once the Kit agrees." Sesshomaru said.

Shippo looked at the two adults, he saw the look in his mom's eyes, she seemed to want this, and it would be away to keep his eye on Sesshoumaru. " Agree on one condition." Shippo said.


"And what condition would that be?" Sess asked him.

" You have to be nicer to Mama." he said.
"Define your view on nicer." Sesshomaru said
“Hmm, no hitting or making her cry." He said to Sesshoumaru.

"Is that all, you request from me?" Sesshomaru asked
"Yes”. Shippo said.

"Then it is settled now all we need is a date and to start planning the party." Sesshoumaru said.
