Chapter Sixteen: He Scares Me

Kagome was watching the children intently while they played. She had already ran around the garden at least four times with her pups. `My pups,' she thought with a little pride. She had considered to adopt Shippo and now she thought that she would adopt Rin as well. I mean, it was only natural to want to have her own children and Rin was Sesshoumaru's anyway.

Her hair was tugged by the wind. This was peaceful but she needed to keep her guard up. Especially since either that wench, who said Sesshoumaru was hers, or Janko, the lord who looked at her in a way that made her want to throw-up, came by and decided to harm the children. She did not have to worry about the rest of the demons here because they did not have the ability to hurt them, the children were so cute after all. She stiffened slightly when she felt a demon come up behind her.

He had found her, finally. It had taken a while but there she was. She was sitting underneath the willow tree and was probably watching the two little children he heard in the distance. He noticed then that she was human. This complicated things. She was beautiful anyway but he could not take her for his wife. Maybe a mistress then. Yes, that would work. He looked at the back of his future mistress and decided to see why she was watching over brats when she could be with him.

"Why are you out here?" he asked and was satisfied when she quickly had a dagger at his thought. `Good,' he thought, `now I have a challenge.'

~ ~ ~

She let herself calm down, even if she did not want to, and removed the dagger from the smiling spider. `Yuck,' she thought, `I hate spiders.' After all, a spider did destroy her home and family, in both times.
"My Lord," she said, bowing slightly. She hated it but did it to be polite. He was only luck that she did not use Tentsiga, the sword's spirit would have seen him as the enemy and tried to kill him. That was the only reason why her training was not yet over. The fact that Jaken was alive proved that it chose it's enemies by power. That was really hard to deal with.

"There is no need to call me that," the spider said in a soft voice, "Janko is just fine." Him speaking jolted out of her thoughts. "So, are you going to answer my question?" The look in his eyes and the sound of his voice made her want to shudder but she held back from that particular reaction.

Instead she answered, "Janko-sama, I am doing as my lord told me. I am watching the children." She saw it in his eyes. He wanted her. This scared her but she would do nothing until she spoke to Sesshoumaru that night. This was going to be a long day.

Janko opened his mouth once more when a servant came running towards them.

"Kagome-sama," the servant said to one above him, it was Renku, "the Lady Rinia wishes to speak with you. I am to relieve you of babysitting."

"Thank you, Renku," Kagome said with no hesitation, "I better go see to the lady then. Good day, my lord." After she said this she turned and headed towards where she felt the lady's aura, the library.

~ ~ ~

Renku noticed the look on Janko face as the aforementioned lord watched Kagome walk away. He did not like that look. He would have to talk to the lady latter. Renku was surprised when the spider spoke to him.

"So she is above you in rank then?"

Rinia had just wanted some time for what Kagome dubbed "girl talk." It had not taken long to figure it out but she went along with it. They talked through lunch and tea. Now it was time for diner. She was quickly walking to her room, where Ka and Ko where supposed to be waiting. She had summoned them before she left the library. This was the way she would be ready for the meal.

The meal itself was light and she was set right next to Sesshoumaru. Luckily she was as far away as she could get from Janko and his sister. She watched the children out of the corner of her eye and made sure they eat everything on their plate. Then she put them to bed and decided to go to her room.

When she got to her room she was not surprised to see her beloved sitting on her bed waiting for her. That fact alone made her feel better. She smiled at him, the first emotion that she had allowed on her face since leaving her room that morning.

He, surprisingly enough, smiled right back. A small smile but a smile none the less. This made her heart jump. "I was wondering if you would like a bath before bed." He stated more then asked. This made her smile more. So like her kio to tell her that she wanted something rather then ask it. She just nodded her head and headed towards the hot springs. This was going to be interesting. At least now they had time to talk freely.

Author's Note: Short again, sorry, but at least I updated faster. *sigh* Now I am just trying to put words to my thoughts. *shrugs* It is not as easy as it should be. Any way, very big thanks to Natsumi (thanks for your continued support), and shadows-insanity (here is the update, thanks) for reviewing me. It is inspiring to see someone other then myself reads this. Love you all anyway.
