Disclaimer: Hey InuYasha do I own you?
Inuyasha: No
Well there's your answer, right out of the dog's mouth!!
The Inu group walked along a dirt road. InuYasha was, as usual, in the front. Miroku and Sango were behind him with Kilala curled on Sango's shoulder. Kagome took up the rear. Shippou was walking by to her feet.
The girl had been quiet ever since they left. Shippou looked up at her. Before they had left, Kagome had asked Keade for a spell to make her look human. The old mike gave her a small scroll with a concealment spell on it. The paper was safely tucked inside her kimono.
To Shippou, it was weird to see Kagome human. Now that he thought of it, Kagome looked normal when she was hanyou then human. He ran up ahead and jumped onto InuYasha's shoulder.
“InuYasha I think there's something wrong with Kagome. She's been really quiet and I don't know why she would want that concealment spell. Do you”, he asked the hanyou. InuYasha didn't answer and just continued walking.
The hanyou was in his own little world, arguing with his human and demon self. `What should I do? Should I tell her the truth or should I wait or should I not even tell her?'
`Duh you baka tell her. The dead bitch is gone so now your free to have her', his demon side snapped.
`First off you shouldn't call Kikyou a bitch and second, you need to let Kagome heal. She thinks you still love Kikyou and now that she knows she killed her, it would be too much to tell her now', his human side argued.
`You just answered the question you dumbass. Kagome thinks you love Kikyou so you need to reassure her that you love her', demon side countered. `Would you both just shut the fuck up?! Gods, I'm trying to think', InuYasha growled.
`Wow you think? Don't try too hard or you'll get a headache', demon side said sarcastically. `Oh stuff it will ya?', InuYasha snapped. Suddenly he noticed Shippou talking to him.
“Huh what was that”, InuYasha asked. “I said that I think something is wrong with Kagome. She's been way too quiet. Do you know why”, Shippou asked. Yeah InuYasha knew why but he wasn't going to tell the brat that.
“No. Must be her time of the month”, InuYasha lied. “Time of the month? But the full moon isn't for another week and a half”, Shippou said. “That's not what I mean. I meant her, oh never mind”, InuYasha growled.
“Jeez you didn't have to growl at me, it was just a question”, Shippou snapped then remembered something. “No wonder your in such a bad mood, it's the new moon tonight.”
InuYasha stopped in his tracks. The new moon? How could he have forgotten? He must have been so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't notice his powers weakening. And now that he did pay attention, he felt his senses already going dull.
“Fuck fuck fuck”, he muttered over and over. Sango and Miroku noticed InuYasha had stopped and was now muttering to himself. “Um InuYasha is there something wrong”, Sango asked.
“I forgot that it's the full moon tonight. I was hoping that we would get to Sesshoumaru's tonight but now we'll have to wait till tomorrow”, InuYasha told them. “Why do we have to wait till tomorrow? It would be better to be at Sesshoumaru's when your human wouldn't it? He does know your time anyway”, Miroku said.
“There is no way that I'm staying because of his protection. Its bad enough that we have to go there at all”, InuYasha growled then instantly regretted it. “I'm sorry”, Kagome, who had been standing next to Sango quietly, whispered.
“What are you sorry for mama”, Shippou asked, jumping on her shoulder. Ever since they had left the village, Shippou had started calling Kagome mama. Eventually Kagome had given up correcting him and just let him do what he wanted.
“It's my fault that we have to go to Sesshoumaru's. How about I just go on ahead and you guys fallow when you can”, Kagome suggested quietly. “Nonsense Kagome. We'll make camp here and continue on in the morning”, Miroku said.
Kagome just nodded and they continued to walk until they found a place to camp. It was starting to get dark and they soon had a fire started and were cooking ramen. InuYasha's senses were still good enough to smell that there was going to be a storm soon.
“Hey guys hurry it up. I smell rain coming soon and I don't know about you guys but I don't feel like being a wet human”, he said. “How far away”, Sango asked. “I can't tell, my nose is starting to go dull but I'm guessing a half hour walk away”, the hanyou answered.
“Well we should be finished before then. Kagome do you want some”, Miroku asked. “No thank you”, Kagome whispered. Miroku and Sango sighed under their breaths. “Then how about you and InuYasha go look for a cave for us to stay in”, Sango suggested.
Hopefully InuYasha got the hint. It took a few seconds for what Sango said to register in his head. `Now is your chance to tell her!', his demon side exclaimed. `No the monk can easily go find a place. Leave the poor girl alone', his human side demanded. `How many times do I have to tell you guys to shut up!?', InuYasha snapped.
`I'm coming out soon so I should say what goes', his human side argued. `I'll be the one to decide that', InuYasha said. “Feh whatever I just want to be dry”, he muttered. “Ok then it's final. We'll save some ramen for you InuYasha”, Sango said and pushed Kagome towards where InuYasha was starting to walk.
InuYasha walked through the forest with Kagome walking silently behind him. “I wonder what my baka brother wants”, InuYasha wondered out loud to break the silence but Kagome stayed quiet.
`This is helpless. She's being a brat', demon side growled. `Demons. Never know when to be nice', human side said. `Watch it you pathetic little human twit', demon side snarled. `SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!!!', InuYasha yelled.
Suddenly InuYasha spotted a cave, then the sun went down fully and he turned into a human and then it started to rain. “This is just great! I'll be wet, hungry and human! We better head back so we can tell the others that we found a cave”, InuYasha said.
While they walked back, InuYasha noticed Kagome's figure kept changing from human to hanyou. “I think something's wrong with your concealment spell”, he said. Kagome pulled out the small paper to find it wet. She unrolled it to find the kanji all smeared from the rain.
“Stupid rain”, she muttered. They continued to walk until they got to the camp. By then both of them were soaked. The found Sango, Miroku and Shippou all hurrying to gather everything and Kilala trying not to get wet.
“We found a cave. It's a little bit away from here”, InuYasha told them. “Good because I'm all wet”, Sango said. They soon had everything all packed up and fallowed InuYasha to the cave.
They got a fire going and got their beds ready. Sango and Miroku went to sleep and Kilala was curled up next to Sango, eyes closed but not asleep. Kagome laid in her sleeping bag staring up at the ceiling with Shippou curled up on her stomach and InuYasha sat near the cave entrance but not close enough to get cold or wet.
Kagome's right hand was stroking Shippou's hair while her left hand was laid across her lower chest. Shippou noticed something on the outside of her left wrist and moved to get a better look. It was a true blue colored marking in the shape of a raindrop.
“Mama look. I don't think that was there before”, Shippou said, indicating to her wrist. Kagome sat up and looked at her wrist. Sure enough there was the marking. InuYasha walked over to them to look.
“Strange. I didn't see that there before”, he said. “Maybe because she was wearing the concealment spell. Maybe it showed up like the other one on her forehead when she turned full demon”, Shippou suggested.
Kagome tensed when he said this. She did not want to be reminded of that moment. Thankfully InuYasha was human so he couldn't sense the sadness and Shippou was too young to understand the smell.
“No cause it wasn't there before she put on the spell. We'll ask Sango about it in the morning”, InuYasha said and went back to where he was sitting. Kagome laid back down and Shippou curled back up on her stomach.
Kagome stared at the marking on her wrist, hoping morning would come soon. Not because Sango might know something about it but because they would finally be at Sesshoumaru's. Then she could go home forever.
Inu_Girl17: Should I leave it there? It seems like such a good cliffy
Everyone: NO!!!!!
Inu_Girl17: Fine then!
Everyone woke up to a very unpleasant sight. Pouring rain and dark clouds. “It's still raining? I hate rain”, Shippou muttered. “Well we better get moving or it might start raining harder”, Sango said.
“Wait Sango. We found another marking on Kagome”, the now turned hanyou InuYasha said. Kagome showed Sango her wrist and she studied it closely. “Weird. I don't recognize it at all. We better keep a look out for anymore”, Sango said.
They all started walking into the pouring rain to Sesshoumaru's. It only took a few minutes for them all to be soaked. “How far is Sesshoumaru's InuYasha”, Miroku asked. “The Western Lands castle should only be an hour walk from here”, InuYasha answered.
Soon enough they stood in front of very large gates with a guard on each side. One guard looked tired and the other was fast asleep. “You know, Sesshoumaru would kill you guys if he found out you were being lazy on the job”, InuYasha said.
The guards snapped out of their tiredness and drew their swords but sheathed them when they saw who it was. “Lord InuYasha, Lord Sesshoumaru had informed us that you were coming. You may enter”, they said and opened the gates.
The group walked through and into the courtyard. “Man those guys must be hitting 975 years now”, InuYasha said. “You know them”, Miroku asked. “Yeah they were the guards when I lived here”, InuYasha said. “You lived here”, gasped Shippou.
“Indeed and he destroyed everything”, Sesshoumaru said. He was standing in front of the open doors to the castle. “Hello Sesshoumaru what a nice welcome. Gonna let us in cause we're soaked”, InuYasha said.
Sesshoumaru didn't answer and walked inside and the others fallowed. They found themselves in a very large entrance hall. The others were looking around while InuYasha watched Sesshoumaru, his hand on Tessaiga.
Suddenly a figure ran towards them and latched onto Sesshoumaru's leg. “Father mother and me are playing tag but she keeps letting me win”, the figured said. They looked down to see that it was Rin.
“I'm not letting her win, she's cheating”, they heard someone say. Behind Sesshoumaru walked an inu demoness. She had long silver hair in a braid that reached all the way to the floor and was wearing a red headband that covered her forehead and tied at the back. The strings had three red beads on the ends and reached to the middle of her back.
She had reddish-amber eyes. She was wearing a simple white kimono with pink sakura blossoms on it and was tied with a pink sash and had a long sword attached to it. In the back was a long silver tail like Sesshoumaru's that was slightly lifted off the ground. To Kagome she looked beautiful.
The demoness walked over to them and picked up Rin. “You're a demon so you can run faster than me but you weren't so that makes you a cheater”, Rin accused. “Well you're not the one carrying extra luggage. Oh and by the way, your it”, the demoness laughed, flicking the girl's nose.
“You shouldn't be running around”, Sesshoumaru said. The domoness put Rin down then crossed her arms across her chest and pouted. “But Sess there is nothing to do. What do you expect me to do, read for three months? I've already read the whole library”, she whined. Sesshoumaru raised a delicate eyebrow. “You've only read a quarter of the library, I've kept count”, he said. “Your no fun”, she pouted. Then she noticed the group that as standing I front of them, confusion on all of their faces. They were wondering who she was and why she wasn't dead yet for talking like that to Sesshoumaru.
“Look at them, there're all wet. Come on and I'll get a servant to help you guys get cleaned up and dry. Gods Sesshoumaru no wonder you never have guests”, she scolded. “That would be nice thank you”, Kagome said. The sooner they got this over with, the sooner she could go.
Kagome pushed her wet bangs out of her face and that's when the demoness saw the star marking. She let out a gasp then fainted.
Inu_Girl17: Well if that isn't a horrible cliffy then I don't know what is.
Miroku: It was a very horrible cliffy
Inu_Girl17: Thanks I try my best
Katara: Yeah I'm in the fic now!!! But why did I faint?
Inu_Girl17: You'll see. Well time to finish off here. I have a few things to say first though. Even though I know that Sesshoumaru does not have a tail, I'm putting it anyway because it has its uses. I might do another chapter today but if not then I'll have one up maybe Wednesday. Well I guess that's all. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!!! BYE BYEZ!!!!LUV YA ALL!!!!! =^.^=
Food for the thought: When a woman is pregnant for the first time, she is under the completely wrong impression that her life couldn't get any worse. That is until she has the child and she realizes that it just did…..
