Silver Sapphire - The Jewel of Angel
By: Inukame
 
<u>Chapter 1</u>
 
Shippo was sitting on the rock, holding a red scarf in his little hands. It was one of the few things that were left from his mama. Shippo held the scarf tightly against his chest, and started to cry again.
 
Six months ago his mama, Kagome, had died in the final battle against Naraku. They had won the evil man, but they paid the highest price from that. Especially Shippo and Sesshomaru, the Lord of the Western lands. They lost someone very dear and precious to them.
 
When she had died, she had made a wish to the full Shikon no Tama to purify it. Sango had gotten her brother back, Kikyo got her souls and was a living person, and to Sesshomaru she had given his arm back. Also she had relieved her feelings towards him, and begged him to take care of Shippo.
 
Shippo looked at the scarf. Kagome's mother had given it to him, when he had gone to Kagome's time with Inuyasha to tell the sad news. Shippo had spend hours in Kagome's room and had refused to leave.
 
Kagome's mother had sat there with him, and told that he was always welcome in their home. She had told all of those things what Kagome had told to her. She had told to her mother how much she cared about Shippo, and how he felt like her own child.
 
-She will never be gone dear, Mrs Higurashi had said. -She will always stay in your heart if you let her stay.
 
-I won't never let her leave, Shippo had said o her. He had hugged one of Kagome's bears tightly against his chest and cried. Kagome's mother had held him in her arms and told sweet and funny things about Kagome's childhood.
 
After Shippo had calmed down, Kagome's mum had gotten up and walked over to the drawer. She had taken something from it and came back to Shippo.
 
-Here, she had said and handed a red scarf to Shippo. Shippo dropped the bear and took the scarf. It still had Kagome's scent in it. He looked at the woman next to him who was smiling.
 
-It helps you not to forget her.
 
Shippo had hugged her tightly, and after that had asked if she could give something else too.
 
-So Sesshomaru-sama would have something that would keep his memories brighter. Kagome's mum had given one of Kagome's favourite blue scarves what she used when she was going to town.
 
Sesshomaru had been pleased from the gift. He had had warm smile and sad eyes when he had held the scarf near his face. Shippo had seen a tear, but never told about it.
 
Few days later Sesshomaru and Shippo left the others. Sesshomaru wanted to get Shippo to his palace where he would be able to protect him better. That had been Kagome's last wish for him.
 
-I miss you mama, Shippo whimpered and buried his face into the scarf. He felt someone approaching. The aura and scent of that person were familiar to him, so he didn't jump up and be ready to fight.
 
Silently Shippo listened as the person sat down next to the rock, and rested his hand on one raised knee. The person didn't say a word for long time. He let Shippo cry his silent cry. Finally he started to talk.
 
-I miss her too pup, Sesshomaru said quietly. Shippo looked up from the scarf. Sesshomaru slowly turned his head and looked into the teary eyes of the little kitsune.
 
-Come here, Sesshomaru said and offered his other hand that was not resting on his raised knee. Shippo leaped into his arms and buried his face into Sesshomaru's soft tail. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around the pup and held him close.
 
Kagome had healed the arm what Inuyasha had cut off in the first battle where he could master little bit the Tetsusaiga. It had been just after Sesshomaru had seen Kagome for the very first time. He had been dazzled of her beauty and sweetness. He had never seen a girl or a woman as beautiful as she was.
 
Never Sesshomaru had understood why Inuyasha chose the death bitch over the living beauty.
 
When Kagome had purified the Shikon no Tama as she died, she had wised Sesshomaru to have his arm back. It had touched Sesshomaru. She had sent a mind message to him where she had begged him to take care of Shippo and told how much she loved him. Sesshomaru had wished that there had been enough time to tell her how much he loved her too. From the first time he had laid his eyes on her.
 
-Come on, Sesshomaru said after a while. -Lets go before we miss dinner. Rin has been missing you and she has something to tell you.
 
-Okay, Shippo mumbled. He held tight from the fur of Sesshomaru's tail as he got up from the ground. Blue cloud appeared around Sesshomaru and they rose into the air and flew towards the great palace of western lands.
 
They didn't notice small raven that flew of few seconds after them.

Next day Shippo was sitting with Sesshomaru in the breakfast table. Rin was still sleeping and Jaken was doing some business what Sesshomaru had ordered him to do.
 
-Shippo, Sesshomaru said as he had finished his breakfast.
 
-Yes sir?
 
Sesshomaru looked at him and arched a slender eyebrow.
 
-Sorry papa, Shippo said quietly and looked down. When Sesshomaru had brought him to his palace, he had asked Shippo to call him as father. He had explained he wanted him to call himself that because he was the only thing he had left from Kagome. Other reason had been, he wanted Shippo to have at least a father now that his mother was gone.
 
Shippo had agreed to do that.
 
-It is okay pup, Sesshomaru said. -I wanted to let you know, that we are going to go see Inuyasha and the others. He brought his wine cup up over to his lips.
 
Shippo's eyes light up. Sesshomaru saw his ears to perk up.
 
-Why? His eyes were big and shining from joy.
 
Sesshomaru gave him gentle smile, smile that was rare to everyone else than Shippo, Rin and… Kagome.
 
-They have invited us to celebrate Inuyasha and Kikyo becoming mates.
 
Shippo heard little sadness in his voice. He knew that Sesshomaru still missed Kagome, and it was hard to him to see Kikyo whose reincarnation Kagome was. She had given her soul to Kikyo when she died.
 
-Can Rin come too? Shippo asked.
 
-Of course. I have already told her that she is coming with us.
 
Shippo nodded.
 
-When are we leaving?
 
-Tomorrow, so if I were you I would go and pack some toys and things like that. I have already got a present to them from all of us, but if you want to give something that you have especially made for them I suggest you start doing it right after breakfast.
 
Shippo nodded and started to eat in hurry. He was ready in no time. He thanked Sesshomaru before he hurried out of the breakfast room.
 
Sesshomaru just smiled as he was left alone. That pup had so much energy, and was always ready to do something nice to others. Sometimes Sesshomaru wondered how much he was missing Kagome.
 
“Probably as much as I am”, he thought and put the cup down. He stood up and walked towards the door. He motioned to the servant who was standing outside to go and clean the table. He also said that he wanted lunch to be ready at two o'clock. The servant just nodded and went into the room. Sesshomaru walked towards his library. He had few things unfinished.
 
**
 
Hooded youkai was patrolling the paths of eastern lands. She had heard that somewhere in her lands was a youkai or a hanyou making evil plans. She didn't want to let someone like that live. She had witnessed what had happened last time when someone like that was alive. She would never forget Naraku. The man who had hurt her friends and love ones many times.
 
She stopped on her tracks when she heard someone approaching. She masked her scent and aura, and jumped up into the trees.
 
-Has they found it yet? She heard someone saying from far apart.
 
-Not yet, but I heard Kaya talking that Garnai has a hint where it is.
 
-Is it more powerful than Shikon no Tama?
 
-Yes it is, and it will give him great amount of power.
 
-And he will become the ruler of the world.
 
-Yes. We just had to get rid of that Hanyou and his companions.
 
The youkai staid silent. So there was someone who was following Narku's steps. And there was something that was more powerful than Shikon no Tama? Her eyes widened. It couldn't be. They weren't looking for the Silver sapphire or as some people knew it Shikon no Tenchi, the Jewel of Angel. The youkai jumped down from the tree and looked after the two leopard youkai. She needed to tell to her men to watch out and keep their eyes open. She started to walk towards the way where those two came from. She needed to go back to her palace to make plans.
 
**
 
Shippo was anxious. Today was the day when he was going to see his friends after long, long time. He had gotten bigger, so he wasn't sure would they recognise him right away.
 
Sesshomaru was walking feet behind him and Rin. He saw how anxious those two were to meet Inuyasha and the others. Sesshomaru wasn't so sure if he wanted to see all of them. Kikyo brought bad memories back, the memories Sesshomaru had pushed away.
 
-Are you coming Fluffy-sama? Rin's chipper voice asked. Sesshomaru kept his expression plain, but narrowed his eyes little bit.
 
-What have I told you about that name pup? He asked. His voice wasn't as cold as usually.
 
Rin started to giggle.
 
-Sorry papa. Come on Shippo lets run over to that tree over there.
 
-Okay Rin! Who looses is a lizard! Shippo started to run. He was fast, but Rin was as fast.
 
After Kagome's death, Sesshomaru had been down, and had refused to eat. Rin had been keeping company to Shippo, who also had been down, after loosing his mother.
 
She had learned to read and write before the final battle. She had spent hours in the library, searching a way, how she could turn into Inuyoukai. After weeks searching, she finally found the way.
 
She had found the way to do it, from an old book that was over two hundreds years old. Rin had carefully taken the book to Sesshomaru and explained to him why she wanted to be a Youkai.
 
-I don't want to leave you alone when I die, and if I'm a Youkai I can't be killed so easily and I won't die.
 
Sesshomaru had looked at the young girl. He hadn't showed any emotion, when he got up from his chair and walked on the other side of the table. He had picked Rin up and put her on the desk. He had looked straight into her eyes.
 
-Is this the only reason why you want to turn into Youkai? He had asked. -If it is, it isn't very good one.
 
-Why isn't it? She had asked. -I don't want you to be sad when I die. When I am a Youkai I won't die so easily and you don't have to be sad.
 
Sesshomaru had shaken his head and moved over to the window. It had been the first and only time, when Rin had seen him helpless. He had lost his love, and Rin didn't want him to loose her too.
 
-Please Sesshomaru-sama, Rin had said in a pleading tone. -I just don't want you to be sad again. I miss Kagome-chan too, and so does Shippo-chan. I love him like a brother and I love you like father. I don't want to be the outcast. Please Sesshomaru-sama, please turn me into Inuyoukai.
 
Sesshomaru had sawn the tears in the girl's eyes, and knew that he couldn't bear to loose her too.
 
-Fine, he said quietly. -I turn you into Inuyoukai, but I want to read the book what you found.
 
Rin had nodded and hopped down from the desk. She had run and hugged him tightly.
 
-Thank you Sesshomaru-sama.
 
Sesshomaru had bent down, and whispered into her ear.
 
-Call me father or something like that from now on.
 
-Okay, Papa. Rin had smiled happily to him, and left the room. She had wanted him to spend as much time with the book as he wanted. She knew that he wanted her to be safe, and check that there wasn't catch in the spell or what ever he was going to use.
 
Few weeks later, he was ready to turn Rin into Inuyoukai. It had been painful change, and Sesshomaru had been worried it would be too much for her. For his surprise and delight she survived and handled the pain. He had been very proud of her.
 
He had spend lot of time after that training her and Shippo so they would survive in the world, when they thought it was their time to leave. Sesshomaru hoped that day wouldn't come too soon.
 
-Come on papa! Rin's voice interrupted his thoughts. Sesshomaru looked over to the two laughing children.
 
-We don't want to be late! Shippo yelled. -I want to see Kirara!
 
Sesshomaru didn't say anything. He suddenly felt something, something bad.
 
-Shippo! Rin! Come here! Now! He was calmly looking around, trying to spot the source of that bad aura.
 
-What is it papa? Shippo asked as he and Rin came to him. -Is something wrong?
 
-Stay close to me, Sesshomaru just said. He kept walking, looking at the both sides of the path. Something bad was coming towards them.
 
Suddenly he stopped.
 
-Hide into the bushes! He said to the pups. His voice was monotone, but still there was slight sternness.
 
Rin and Shippo looked quickly at each other and ran into the bushes. They lie down under the bush, keeping their senses up. They wanted to be ready to defend each other and their father.
 
Sesshomaru looked up into the sky and his eyes narrowed for a second. Bad looking flying raven youkai flock. Quickly he hided his aura and scent, so those ravens wouldn't see or sense him. He watched as they flew over him, not noticing that he was under the trees.
 
“I wonder what is going on”, Sesshomaru thought. “I hope a new Naraku isn't showing up. I have felt many times before this bad aura.”
 
-Papa, small voice said from the bushes. -Can we come out?
 
Sesshomaru was going to say something, when he sensed someone coming towards them.
 
-Stay there, he said. He turned around and looked at the way where they had come. He was ready to come.
 
**
 
Koga was carrying Ayame on his back. She was carrying their first pup, and she got tired fast. During their way, they had smelled familiar Taiyoukai smell. With him was little kitsune and scent that was somehow familiar, but still different.
 
-Who you think the third one is? Ayame asked from her mate.
 
-It might be Rin, the little ningen girl who sometimes followed him.
 
-But this scent is like youkai scent. It can't be the little ningen.
 
Koga would answer to her, but suddenly bad aura hit his senses. It lifted his hackles up.
 
Ayame felt it to, and snuggled closer to her mate's back.
 
-What is that? She asked as she looked around. She felt Koga's hands holding her legs more tightly.
 
-I don't know, Koga said. He felt the aura coming closer and closer. He looked up and saw a raven youkai flying above them.
 
-Hide your aura and scent, he quickly said to Ayame as he did the same. When Ayame had hided her scent and aura, Koga started to run under the trees, to get his mate safe if the raven had friends. He kept looking at the sky and saw a raven youkai flight. He also had noticed that Sesshomaru's scent had disappeared, as Shippo's and that other scent too.
 
“He noticed those things too”, Koga thought. “I need to reach him fast. If those things attack, we can fight them together.” Koga increased his speed, to get to the Lord of the Western Lands quicker.
 
-Hold on Ayame!
 
Dust just swirl around after them.
 
**
 
When Sesshomaru saw Koga and his mate Ayame on his back running towards him, he frowned. He should have remembered that he was going to come to the celebration too.
 
-Shippo, Rin, he said. -You can come out. It was just the wolf and his mate.
 
Shippo and Rin came out from the bushes, as Koga stopped running and walked over to them. He let Ayame down and bowed at Sesshomaru.
 
-You lord, he said and straightened himself. -Are you going to the celebration too?
 
-Of course I am, Sesshomaru said in montone voice. -It has been long time when I saw everyone else last time.
 
Koga nodded. He heard Ayame squeal and looked at her.
 
-You have grown up, Shippo! Ayame said and walked over to Shippo to give him a hug. Her pregnancy was showing, and Shippo didn't know if he might hurt the baby when he hugged Ayame.
 
-Don't worry, Ayame said smiling. -You won't hurt the pup.
 
Shippo just blushed and looked at her.
 
-It is nice to see you Ayame, Shippo said.
 
-And it is nice to see you too Shippo. Ayame turned to look at Koga. -Well? At least you can greet him.
 
Koga frowned little bit, but went to greet Shippo happily. He tried to ignore the small laugh what Sesshomaru let to slip. He wasn't tied on his mate's apron strings!
 
-Nice to see you Shippo, Koga said.
 
-Nice to see you too, Shippo said and looked at Rin.
 
-Aren't you Rin? Ayame asked when she noticed the little black haired youkai girl.
 
-Yeah, Rin said proudly. -Papa made me a youkai, after I asked him.
 
Koga looked at Sesshomaru.
 
-She wanted it so don't give me that look, wolf. Sesshomaru had his usual plain look on his face as he looked at the wolf prince.
 
Koga didn't say anything else, but greeted Rin too.
 
-We should continue, Sesshomaru said after a while. -Ayame can you walk for a while. I need to talk with your mate.
 
-Of course my Lord, Ayame said. She looked at the two pups and together they started to walk ahead.
 
Koga and Sesshomaru made sure that they were away from earshot, when they started to talk.
 
-I take that you saw those ravens too, Sesshomaru said.
 
-Yeah, They made me feel sick. Just like Naraku and his minions did.
 
-Something bad is going to happen.
 
-Yeah, we just need to stop it before it happens.
 
Sesshomaru nodded and together they went over to the group and together they walked towards Inuyasha's village, where others would be waiting for them.
 
**
 
When they arrived at the village next day, Kirara ran to greet them. She was in her smaller form, so she didn't knock them down when she jumped in their arms. She didn't jump into Sesshomaru's arms, but greeted him too, by bowing.
 
She was soon followed by Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Kikyo.
 
Inuyasha had seen how Sesshomaru had looked at Kikyo. He saw brief sadness in those cold eyes, and was little bit sad too. Because Kagome had been Kikyo's reincarnation, he remembered all the happy times with her. And the day when she died.
 
-Sesshomaru, Inuyasha said after a while. -Could I talk to you?
 
Sesshomaru nodded at his brother. Even if he disliked him in the past, they weren't enemies anymore. Inuyasha had told him so many things about Kagome after she had died and given most of the things she had left in their era. Some he had returned to Kagome's mother, some he had given to Sango and Miroku. Some of them he had given to Koga and some he had kept himself.
 
He had shown the Sesshomaru how to go to Kagome's time. He had met Kagome's family, talked to her mother and tried not to kill her Grandfather who tried to banish him. He had hided his true form and went to look around the town, with Kagome's mother and Shippo. He had sensed many demons, who had hided their true selves. He had even seen a glimpse of Inuyasha, who had masked his true self. He had seen him too, but hadn't said anything.
 
-Yes, little brother, he said. -I have something to tell you too. Wolf you can talk to the houshi. Koga nodded at the Demon Lord. Then Sesshomaru started to walk towards the forest, Inuyasha right behind him.
 
When they reached the hot spring where Kagome liked to spend time when they had returned back to the village, Sesshomaru stopped.
 
-Speak, he said without even looking at Inuyahsa. He used his memories to imagine that Kagome was there, taking a bath.
 
-You don't need to be rude, Inuyasha said. -It isn't my fault that Kagome gave her soul back to Kikyo, so she could live! It was her own decision.
 
-I know that, Sesshomaru said and turned around. He looked at his younger brother. -I didn't mean to offend her or you.
 
Inuyasha nodded.
 
Sesshomaru turned around again. With eyes of memories, he watched as Kagome undressed herself to go to the hot spring after hard day.
 
-You had something to say to me? Sesshomaru asked. He kept his eyes on the hot spring.
 
-Yeah. Me and Kikyo have been getting very odd mind message.
 
Sesshomaru looked his brother over his shoulder.
 
-First the voice just felt familiar, but then Kikyo recognised it.
 
-Kagome, Sesshomaru said.
 
Inuyasha arched an eyebrow.
 
-You have gotten them too?
 
-Few times long ago, but I ignored them. So has Shippo.
 
Sesshomaru turned around.
 
-What have they said to you?
 
-I love you, Sesshomaru said. -That is the only one what has stayed in my mind.
 
-To me the message always said “I miss you my friend, so much.” Same to Kikyo, but those messages also said to take care of me.
 
-You still get them?
 
-In last few days I have gotten few. They say the same things, but also congratulates me and Kikyo.
 
Suddenly Sesshomaru smelled something familiar. He looked at the forest, keeping his eyes in the shadows.
 
Inuyasha had smelled it too, and kept looking at the forest. The scent had been so familiar. Pure, innocent, hint of red roses and cherry tree. Just like Kagome's scent. But there had been something different. Like it had been mixed with scent of female youkai.
 
-It can't be her, Inuyasha heard Sesshomaru saying, just before he ran towards the way where the scent had come from. He looked around, sniffed the air, but the scent was gone. There was no sign that someone had been there.
 
-Sesshomaru, Inuyahsa said when he came to him. -Did you find anything?
 
-Nothing, he said and turned to look at Inuyasha. -I think someone is making tricks with us. New evil force is rising. I have great feeling of it.
 
-Is that what you wanted to talk with me?
 
Sesshomaru nodded. He told him what he and Koga had felt. Inuyasha wasn't happy about it.
 
-Are you telling me that something worse than Naraku is rising?
 
-That is what I think. I'm not sure thought. After your celebration is over, I will leave Shippo and Rin here, if it is okay with you?
 
Inuyasha nodded. -Of course it is. I have to admit that I have missed that little runt.
 
Sesshomaru just gave cold look at him.
 
-I will return after I have found out something.
 
Inuyasha nodded. They just stood there, without saying another word. In silence Inuyasha returned back to the village, leaving Sesshomaru dreaming about Kagome.
 
**
 
Later that night after Sesshomaru had returned back to village to have dinner, he walked over to the well. He touched its edge, memorizing those times when he had seen Kagome climbing out if and going in it. He took a deep breath and sat down next to it.
 
“I miss you my love”, he thought. “So much that my heart is aching.”
 
<b>::I miss you too my love::</b>
 
Sesshomaru looked around, but didn't see anyone. It had been Kagome's voice. The voice what he loved so much.
 
Sadness filled his eyes. That voice was still there because the message she had left into his mind. Nothing more.
 
-She loved you so much, she said that night when Sesshomaru had been sitting next to the well, looking at the stars. Sesshomaru had looked at her and nodded.
 
-I know, he said. -She sent me a mind message before she died.
 
Kikyo sat down next to Sesshomaru. They stayed silent for long time, watching the stars.
 
-When everyone else was too busy to do their own things, Sesshomaru started. -Kagome and I watched the stars together. We never talked anything else than how beautiful the stars were and how peaceful it was.
 
Kikyo looked at the Taiyoukai.
 
-I planned, Sesshomaru said. Kikyo saw his eyes shining from tears as he talked. -That I would have asked her to become my mate, after Naraku had been won.
 
Tears started to form into Kikyo's eyes.
 
-As you can see it didn't happen, and all my dreams went crashing down. Shippo is only thing I have left from Kagome.
 
Kikyo put her hand on his shoulder.
 
-I'm sorry.
 
-So am I.
 
They hadn't said a word after that. Just sat there, watching the stars.
