Chapter 7

 

The others in the camp watched as Lord Sesshomaru came back into the camp. A minute later Maru walked up with Kagome in his arms. Maru watched as Lord Sesshomaru settled against a tree near the fire. Walking over he handed Kagome off to the demon lord as he sat her between his legs. As confused look on her face as Lord Sesshomaru spread her legs. Just as she was about to ask Maru took a seat between her legs.

 

Kagome shook her head trying to wake from the strange dream she having, but it seemed to keep a hold of her. It was however a nice warm comfortable dream. Looking at the dumbfounded faces of her traveling companions she just smiled and leaned back as her hands slid through Maru's lush locks of silver.

 

The children had inched their way over and snuggled in against the three. Jaken had started to squawk at Kagome and had called Maru an unworthy impostor. Until Maru sent a whip that lashed out inches from his face and a snarl that told him to back off.

 

Lord Sesshomaru relaxed against the tree enjoying the soft warmth of Kagome against him. The kiss had been a risky decision. He needed to prove that he only wanted to share the girl not steal her away. That was why he left Kagome behind for Maru to carry back. He had been truly surprised when the inu handed the girl to him. Maru had accepted his silent proposal.

 

The next morning at Totosai's dwelling Inuyasha left to clear his mind of the latest nightmares surrounding Kikyo. A picture of the miko crying out to him for help reappeared in his mind. She was beaten and bitten by lesser demons and when he thought that he could reach her a barrier separated the two. Would she forever make him feel like a failure?

A voice from behind shook him back to reality.

 

“Is it true that you travel with the miko Kagome?” Saber asked sitting next to him

 

“Yeah know I was having a private moment here.” Inuyasha said gruffly.

 

“Sorry. So do you?” She asked again ignoring the glare he sent to her.

 

“Yeah, among others.” He answered hoping she would leave now.

 

“What is she like. I have heard so many great stories about her. They say she is something to see with her powers.” Saber said all dreamy eyed about her idol.

 

An uncontrollable laugh started to come from Inuyasha. The idea that people found Kagome to be this all-powerful being. Well it was a little much since half the time she couldn't control her powers and the other half was spent being entirely to insecure.

 

“I don't know what drunks has been feeding you these lies, but I wouldn't listen to them anymore.” He said wiping the tears from his eyes.

 

“I have heard from villagers that have been saved by her. Monks and mikos that have met her and the group she travels with. I can only guess that you are the angry hanyou that curses too much. They could not be all wrong.” She said crossing her arms.

 

“Kagome has this thing about wanting to save the world and everyone in it. She doesn't realize that it is impossible.” He sighed looking to the girl.

 

“Well why fight at all if you find it hopeless. You may as well just roll over die. Anyway Totosai sent me to tell you that the sword is ready for you. I have a request for you. I wish to travel with you.” She said hopeful.

 

Giving the girl a look. He shook his head knowing that even if he said no that she would just follow. The once little group was becoming more an unlikely army. As he started into Totosai's he tossed a look over his shoulder to the girl.

 

“Do what you like just stay out of my way.” He said

 

Totosai looked at Inuyasha and scratched his head. “Inuyasha when did you get here?” Totosai said with an inner snicker. Really he had too much fun with the pup and his brother.

A smack to his head and Inuyasha growled. “The sword Totosai. I came for the sword.

 

“You have a sword. See it is right there.” Totosai said pointing to the tessaiga.

 

“UGH. The sword for Sesshomaru you old fool!” He barked

A mischievous glint in Totosai's eyes as he spoke next. “He has a sword also. As a matter of fact he has two and only one arm.”

 

A now throbbing headache as Saber entered. “Totosai stop playing and give him the sword we need to leave.” Saber said sternly.

 

“You just had to take away my fun.” Totosai grumbled and tossed Inuyasha the sword.

 

“Wait a minute all this time it had been an act?!” Inuyasha said getting ready to attack the laughing old man.

 

Saber grabbed his arm and dragged him from the dwelling. She knew that it could get real ugly real fast. One did not make swords and not know how to use one. She also knew that Totosai had promised to watch over the boys for their father. Playing dumb was an easy way of going about it without being detected.

 

Elsewhere in a dark death soaked palace.

 

Naraku was watching as his latest victim screamed in pain at his feet. No one special really just a monk that had thought he could reason with the insane hanyou. Naraku had mixed a special tea for him that was now feasting on his insides and when done would leave only the skin of the man behind.

 

Still madly chuckling he looked up to see Kagura. She was dressed and her hair down. He narrowed his eyes at the treacherous bitch before him. What game was she playing now and whom was she playing with? A nervous smile as she made her way over to him stepping over the skin on the floor.

 

“Naraku, I thought that you may want to know that Inuyasha is not with his group and they seemed to be headed to the western palace.” She smiled

 

“Hmm, all dressed up to try and win you a prince Kagura. You would have more luck with that pile of flesh on the floor.” He laughed at the frowning girl before him.

 

“Yes. He can seem very cold, but I see a very different him when I look at him.” She said as Naraku raised an eyebrow.

 

“Very well if you ever succeed it will only prove to be another alliance for myself.” He said watching take her leave. He frowned and called for Kanna. The little soulless girl entered the room with her mirror.

 

“Show me Inuyasha's group. I fear your sister is up to her tricks.” Naraku said watching as the mirror swirled. A shocked expression appeared on Naraku's face as he took in the sight before him. “Two Sesshomarus and that means twice the power. I wonder if they have already destroyed Inuyasha. Answers, I need them.” A demented smile as a plan formed in his mind. The slayer.

 

The group had reached the village that surrounded the palace. Lord Sesshomaru walked in front of the group while Kagome and Maru walked behind him with the children in hand. It was so quit a pin could drop.

 

Kagome was getting nervous about all the attention and was starting to fidget. Maru grabbed her hand to relax her nerves, but as soon as he had the villages all gasped and some even fainted. Lord Sesshomaru looked behind him to see what the problem was and smirked when he noticed their hands.

 

The procession had made it to the palace. His soldiers and advisers stood before him as he explained that a meeting with the other lords would be needed. He did not however explain how he had a look alike following behind him. That would be explained later.

 

The others had been shown to their rooms as he walked with Kagome and Maru to his study. This conversation was more for Kagome's benefit than their own. Settling behind his desk the two others sat down in front of him.

 

“Well Kagome how would you like to go about this?” Lord Sesshomaru asked dragging a claw through his hair.

 

“I don't understand? Go about what?” she asked looking from one demon to the next.

 

“The mating Kagome. How do you want to go about the mating?” Maru said with a hint of amusement in his words. A wide-eyed Kagome started to choke on shock.
