Chapter Eight: Getting Started Again

After dinner Shippo explained how Kaede had sensed the demons that had destroyed the village long before and forced him to go o a neighboring village to ask for assistance against them. He had done so but by the time he had returned, with the men of that village, there was nothing left. The man then left him alone to his grief over the destruction, he never went back. Instead he had tried to keep others away from the place of wreckage.

"By stealing their food?" was Renku's question, which earned a glare from the younger fox and his mother, the last being more frightening then the first.

"I was hungry," was the kit's reply, "besides I did ask toad boy over there, but he had said I was stealing." That got `toad boy' a fierce glare from the miko which was the kit's mother. The toad gulped knowing that if he said anything, in his defense or in the kit's, he would be reunited with his very scary friend, Death, once again.

"I think is time for sleep," the miko said before anyone else got punished by her eyes. She was tired in many ways, emotionally and physically. She lied down by Ka and Ko to sleep with her pup and Rin. This had been a most interesting day.

"Human! It is time to leave! So get up!" was what broke everyone's dreams the next morning. Jaken was up to his old tricks but Kagome was defiantly not amused. Jaken would die this time. She quickly pulled out tentsiga from its sheath, which she kept near her when she traveled, and she pointed the tip of the semi-transformed blade at the place were she knew his throat was positioned. She did this without even opening her eyes. He was to predictable. The toad gulped slightly.

"I a-am v-v-very sorry, L-l-lady Kagome. I d-did not mean to dis-disturb your dreams this morning," the toad stuttered. He was sure his life span was depleted to a few mere seconds, but something stopped the miko before she could let her sword pierce his fragile wind pipe.

"Kagome," a cold voice said to the miko, "do not kill him. As much as I would like to see him dead for his yelling you needed to get up." Kagome sighed as she opened her eyes to see Sesshoumaru behind the toad that her sword was still pointed at.

"Yes my lord," was her reply, but as she replaced the sword back in its scabbard, she glared at the toad promising death if he ever did such a thing again. He gulped thinking of better ways to wake the human next time.

She got up and eat the lunch Ko got for her. Ka handed her clothing for her to wear after her bath. She usually bathed every day that she traveled, a habit she picked up from traveling with Inuyasha, she had done that just to annoy him, and every other day when she did not travel. This was her costume and she did it without hesitation.

***

After washing and making sure the children were ready to go the party took off for that days traveling. All the while Kagome wondered what Sesshoumaru wanted to talk to her about. `All well,' she thought, `he will tell me when he is ready.' With that thought in mind she hugged Shippo and Rin tighter to her body, now thankful for the hope that was renewing her. Now thankful for Sesshoumaru for giving back her hope. Giving back her son. And giving her a new friend.
