Chapter 13 Saviors

When Kagome and Inuyasha went downstairs for breakfast the next day, everyone was there to greet them in the dining room. Sesshomaru caught a whiff of them as soon as they walked into the room and know what had happened last night. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her waist in support behind her. Sesshomaru decided however to let them come tell him themselves. Shippo also instinctively knew what happened. Inuyasha saw his face flash with his new knowledge. Shippo looked at him with his mouth open ready to speak but was silenced when he saw the glare he was getting from his new father. Izayoi jumped up from her seat and ran over to hug her son and Kagome.

"Good morning you two!" She said with an embrace. When the embrace ended, she turned to her son. "Inuyasha, your father is coming! I told him about you and Kagome and he decided to come here right away!" She exclaimed happily. Izayoi hadn't seen Inu No Taisho since the tragedy that killed Kagome's parents. Inuyasha turned to look at Kagome. She looked back at him.

"That's great." Inuyasha said. Kagome was confused by his mellow reaction. He was always so excited when his father decided to visit. Kagome turned to Izayoi.

"I'm so happy Uncle Taisho!" She said excitedly. Izayoi smiled at her before returning to her seat and inviting them to take a seat as well. Inuyasha led Kagome to her seat and pulled out her chair before sitting next to her.

The young man came out of the kitchen with many other servants behind him carrying trays of food. Before they served the plates of food, the young man said, "Breakfast is served." The plates were then placed in front of them. They had eggs, bacon, and sausage with orange juice. Shippo, however, wanted to have cereal and that's what he got.

The servants returned to the kitchen quietly but before the young man entered, Kagome saw a deep sadness and worry in his eyes. She ate her food and finished quickly. Inuyasha noticed this and finished quickly. Inuyasha placed his hand on hers and held it. Kagome looked at him and smiled slightly. Inuyasha could feel that she had something on her mind that was bothering her. When everyone else finished, Inuyasha and Kagome stood up and excused themselves. Shippo ran up and leaped into Kagome's arms for a hug before they left, then ran over to Izayoi and hopped into her lap. Kagome smiled at everyone then turned back to the door with Inuyasha. They exited the room together.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah? What's wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha replied.

"Can we go for a short walk in the garden?" She asked with her head hanging down.

"Sure." He told her. He escorted her to the door next to the garden. He held the door open for her and she bowed her head to him. Kagome was flooded with memories from their past together. They would always come to this garden when she felt sad and they would play and goof around until she was happy again. Kagome ran up to the bush full of roses. She sniffed one of the red roses and lifted her hand to pull the flower closer.

"Ouch!" She yelped. One of the rose’s thorns pricked her finger and it began to bleed. Inuyasha walked over to here quickly. He grabbed her and checked the wound. He smiled at her.

"It's just a little cut." He said. Kagome smiled back at him. Inuyasha licked her finger and the cut stopped bleeding. He held her hand with his and they began to walk through the garden.
"What's bothering you Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome dropped her head, remembering why she wanted to take a walk with him.

"When the young man that coordinates meals left the room this morning, I could see sadness and worry fill his eyes. Something is wrong Inuyasha." She stopped walking and turned to Inuyasha. "We need to find out what's going on to make him so sad." She told him. Inuyasha came closer to her and marveled at how beautiful she look with the sunlight reflecting off her flawless skin and the red tulip background complimenting her pink lips. Kagome frowned. "Are you listening?" She asked annoyed.

"Yeah, yeah. I heard what you said. Now shut up and kiss me." He said as he grabbed her hips and pulled her close to him for a sweet kiss from her full pink lips. Kagome blushed from his sudden display of affection. When he separated from her he placed his forehead on hers with his eyes still closed.

"Inuyasha." She whispered. His eyes opened when she called his name. "It's really bothering me." She told him pleadingly. He sighed and nodded.

"Let's wait till after my father leaves though." He said, as he lifted his head from hers. Kagome agreed and kissed his cheek lightly before prancing away into the flower garden. Inuyasha smiled and followed her. She was still like the little girl he used to play with back in the day. Kagome pranced along and ended up in Inuyasha's arms giggling. He laughed with her and lifted her off the ground and spun her around like a helicopter. She squeaked with laughter. Inuyasha sat her back down. His eyes flicked and Kagome knew he heard something.

"What is it Inuyasha?" She asked, trying to stop giggling. Inuyasha calmed his laughter and looked at her.

"Dad's here." He said. Kagome's face glowed with excitement. She started to run to the front of the house, but was stopped from Inuyasha grabbing her wrist. "Wait."

"What? What's the matter?" She asked confused.

"We haven't told anyone about our mating last night yet. My dad will know as soon as we walk up to him. I'm sure Sesshomaru knows. And I saw Shippo's face when he smelt us." He said looking away with a slight blush on his cheeks. Kagome also blushed. "I just wanna prepare you." He said under his breath. She grabbed his hand and smiled at him.

"Thanks." She said. "I never even thought about it." She teased. He smiled and squeezed her hand. "Now, let's go see your daddy!" She exclaimed. Inuyasha laughed.

"He's not just my daddy anymore." He told her. " He's yours too now." Kagome smiled and nodded. She led Inuyasha to the front of the castle. The carriage had just pulled up and Izayoi, Sesshomaru and little Shippo were waiting for Inu No Taisho to come out. Inuyasha walked over to where the others were standing. Shippo was a little afraid to meet Inu No Taisho. He was scared that he wouldn't like him. Shippo jumped into Kagome's arms. He felt more safe being with Kagome and Inuyasha.

Inu No Taisho exited the carriage and smiled when he saw his family. The wind blew in his direction and he smelt the fresh mating of the young couple. He grinned with happiness that they chose to be together. He always thought that they would be very good for one another. Even when they were still very young. He walked closer to them and Izayoi was the first to run up to him and give him a big hug. He hugged her back and placed his nose in her hair.

"I missed you." He whispered through her hair.

"I missed you more." She teased. They pulled apart and looking into the others eyes. They both smiled and turned back to the family holding hands. Inu No Taisho noticed the bundle on fur in Kagome's arms. They walked up to the rest of the family. He first turned to Sesshomaru.

"Nice to see you son." He said, reaching out his hand to shake his. Sesshomaru shook his father's hand.

"You too father." Sesshomaru replied. Inu No Taisho turned to Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Well, well. Who is this little guy?" He asked while rubbing the fox demon's red hair. Shippo looked up at him and Inu No Taisho smiled at him. Shippo smiled back.

"This is Shippo. Inuyasha and I adopted him when his parents were killed." Kagome told him. Kagome's face became a little sad and she hugged Shippo closer to her. Inu No Taisho nodded.

"It's good to see you father." Inuyasha said. Inu No Taisho turned to Inuyasha and reached his arms out to hug him.

"My boy!" He exclaimed. "I hear that you and Kagome have decided to be together." He said raising an eyebrow to Inuyasha.

"Yeah. We did." Inuyasha said blushing lightly. Kagome giggled but blushed a little along with him. Inu No Taisho smiled. He turned back to Izayoi.

"How about we retire for a while and catch up." He proposed. Izayoi smiled and nodded in agreement. Inuyasha froze and rushed to his father's side.

"Umm... Can I talk to you for a minute first?" Inuyasha asked worriedly. Inu No Taisho was confused but laughed at his worried and scared expression.

"Sure son!" He laughed. He excused them from everyone and they walked away for a moment.

"Dad, I know that you know Kagome and I mated last night, but don't tell mom. We haven't had a chance yet and I want Kagome and I to tell her ourselves." Inuyasha said quickly and quietly. Inu No Taisho laughed.

"Okay, okay. I won't mention it. But you better tell her soon. She'll be mad if she is the last one to know." He advised. Inuyasha sighed in relief and nodded.

"Planned on it!" He smiled. Inu No Taisho put his arm around Inuyasha's shoulders and they walked back to the family. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist and Inu No Taisho wrapped his arm around Izayoi's waist.

"Should we enter the castle now?" Sesshomaru asked. Everyone nodded and they filed into the huge double doors. Shippo asked if the girl he liked could come play in his room and Kagome agreed if a servant would watch them. Shippo scampered off to find the girl while Inu No Taisho and Izayoi retired to their room for a bit before dinner. Sesshomaru left for his study before anyone could even say bye. Kagome and Inuyasha decided to check on the young man Kagome was worried about.

"Do we even know what his name is? I haven't really thought about it much. He's just always there." Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah, his name is Miroku. He was separated from his parents by slave traders. On one of Sesshomaru's servant searching errands, he found him and bought him. Sesshomaru freed him and he has worked here ever since. I think he's 17 or 18." Inuyasha told her. Kagome pondered what Inuyasha said. They reached the kitchen. Inuyasha bust open the doors yelling, "Miroku! Where are you damn it?!"

All the servants were shocked that he was screaming for the kind, young man. Kagome saw all their shocked and scared expressions and put a hand on his arm. He stopped and looked at her. She only smiled at him. He huffed that she didn't want him to do it his way but he let her lead.

Kagome walked up to a small group of servants talking and asked where Miroku was. They said he hasn't been himself lately and he spent a lot of his free time in his room. Kagome thanked them and Kagome led Inuyasha to the servant’s quarters. Inuyasha knew where his room was.

They reached the door and Inuyasha could hear some soft cries through the door but didn't say anything to Kagome. Kagome knocked lightly on the door. Miroku sniffled and whipped his tears away before answering the door.

"What do you want?!" He said annoyed when he opened the door. He saw it was Inuyasha and Kagome and gasped. He had just sassed one of the lords and ladies of the castle. He bowed his head quickly and pressed his hands together. "Lord Inuyasha! Lady Kagome! I'm so sorry! I didn't expect a visit! Please forgive me!" He rambled, pleading for their forgiveness.

"Shut up stupid! We're only here cause Kagome saw you were upset this morning and she was worried. So tell us what's up." Inuyasha stated with his arms crossed. Miroku invited them into his room and they all sat down. Miroku put his face in his hands.

"What's going on? I've never seen you so sad." Kagome said.

"Yesterday afternoon, when I went to the market for groceries, I past a slave trader's booth." Miroku started. Inuyasha cut him off.
"If this is one of those 'oh-my-horrible-past' things, then were not gonna sit here and listen to it." Inuyasha huffed. He stood but was stopped when Kagome grabbed his arm and pulled him back down. He sat down, huffed and pouted.

"I'm sorry Miroku. Please continue." Kagome apologized. Miroku lifted his head and looked at her. The pain in his eyes was hard for her to look at.

"I'm sure Inuyasha has told you about my past and why I'm here." Miroku started again. Kagome nodded. "Well before I was separated from my parents, we had a normal life. I was about 16 years old when they captured me and took me away. I had a girlfriend at the time and haven't seen her since then. I thought that maybe she got away, but when I past that slave trader booth I saw her in a cage behind him." Tears began to fill his eyes and he placed his face back into his hands.

Kagome got up and sat next to him and patted him on the back to help comfort him. Inuyasha rushed to his other side because he knew how Miroku was with the young, pretty servant girls. He wouldn't put it past him to do that with Kagome too. Kagome looked to Inuyasha. He looked back at her. Inuyasha even felt bad for him.

"We'll help you get her out. Somehow." Kagome told him. Inuyasha nodded his head and stood. He walked over and offered his hand to Kagome to help her up. She took it and stood by him. Miroku stood bewildered.

"You-you will?" He stuttered. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He exclaimed. He was on his knees bowing to them in thanks. Inuyasha brushed him off. He didn't need to grovel. They were gonna help him already, why was he kneeling and bowing?

"Stand up stupid! Quit groveling before I change my mind." Inuyasha told him while grabbing the collar of his shirt and hoisting him up.

"Thank you Inuyasha. Thank you and Kagome so much for your kindness. You two really are my saviors." Miroku told him. Inuyasha cracked him a grin.

"No problem." He said. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha showing his kind side for others. "But it might take a day or two." Inuyasha warned. "Like it or not, we will need Sesshomaru's help. He might not want to go servant hunting while dad is here."

"Okay. As long as she gets out okay, I can wait." Miroku assured.

"Keep your head up and we'll get her out." Kagome told him. With that, Inuyasha and Kagome left his room and headed for Shippo's room. Kagome wanted to check on him and Inuyasha couldn't tell her no.

They came close to reaching the room and could hear laughing and giggling. Kagome opened the door. When Shippo saw Kagome and Inuyasha and yelled in joy. He leaped into Kagome's arms and almost knocked her over. Inuyasha was behind her and supported her to prevent her from falling. He smiled at Shippo's excitement to see his mate. Kagome hugged him and ast him back down. Shippo ran over to the little girl he was playing with. She was taller than Shippo. She had dark brown hair and eyes. She wore a fitted pink dress with a purple bow around her waist. Shippo brought the girl over to his parents.

"This is Satsuki. The girl I told you about." He said then gave Inuyasha a quick wink. The little girl bowed.

"Hello Lady Kagome and Lord Inuyasha." Satsuki said.

"Hi Satsuki! I hear that you are a really good friend of Shippo's." Kagome said.

"Yes! I really like him!" Satsuki told her as she hugged the little demon like a teddy bear. Shippo struggled in her arms laughing and giggling all the way.

The older woman sitting on the bed was reading a book but looked up when she saw Kagome and Inuyasha. She stood when they came closer to talk with her.

"Our little man hasn't given you any trouble, has he?" Kagome said. The woman bowed.

"Oh no! Of course not! He's like a little angel!" She told them happily. "I'll watch him anytime for you!" Kagome smiled at her.

Inuyasha grinned at her praise of the child. He wanted to say, 'That is impossible lady. He can't be an angel, he's full demon.' Inuyasha laughed in his head. Kagome thanked her and told her whenever Satsuki and Shippo were ready for dinner, to just take them down to the dining room.

They left Shippo's room and decided it was time to tell Inuyasha's mother, well now Kagome's mother too now, that they have been mated. They found Izayoi in the dining room with Inu No Taisho and Sesshomaru. They were waiting for dinner to be served and were catching up a bit.

They came into the dining room and sat down in their usual seats. The conversation ended that was going on between Inu No Taisho and Sesshomaru and their attention was directed to Inuyasha and Kagome. They could sense Kagome's nervousness. Inuyasha started to ease Kagome's nerves. "Mom, Dad, Sesshomaru, we have something we would like to tell you."
