InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Songs About Rain ❯ Plots and More Plots ( Chapter 14 )

“Condition?” Sango asked raising her head. “What condition?”

“Kohaku stays with me. Jaken isn't adequate protection for Rin.” Sesshomaru explained generously.

Sango nodded. “Anything.” She wanted Kohaku to be with her but alive with Sesshomaru was better than dead.

Sesshomaru drew tenseiga and cut the death imps in half. Kohaku's chest rose with an explosion of sound and Sango and Rin threw themselves onto him sobbing their joy.

He gagged at the force of their hugs and struggled to sit up. “Sister? Rin?”

Jamila opened her eyes to feel gentle hands running a soft wet cloth over her forehead and saw Kagome leaning over her. “Kagome?”

“Awake are you?” Kagome smiled at her and leaned back.

“What are you going here?” Jamila asked sitting up. She ignored the blankets that pooled around her waist baring her naked chest.

“Naraku killed Sango's brother. We brought him here to see if Sesshomaru would bring him back.” Kagome explained moving behind Jamila to examine the wound. “It healed nicely. What happened?”

“Run in with my sister. Naraku taught her a new trick. I was a bit tired from…other things.” Jamila grinned wickedly and Kagome blushed but returned the smile with one as wicked. “Anyway I wasn't prepared.”

Kagome handed Jamila a kimono that was laid out. “Well you're alive and healthy and she's going to go down. It's all good.”

Jamila threw the kimono on and tied it tightly before admiring the soft silver color of the silk. “I like your way of talking.”

Kagome blushed. “I know its odd. Where I come from we have a lot of colloquial phrases.”

Jamila looked back at Kagome as they headed out of the room. “What phrases?”

“Oh um…colloquial…provincial phrases?” Kagome tried looking at the ceiling.

“Oh, I'd like to learn more of this way of talking.”

Kagome grinned. “Sure it'll be fun.” They exited the house to see Sesshomaru speaking with Sango and Kohaku. “I see he did it.”

Jamila ghosted down the steps her anger still there but kept much closer in check. “Hello Sesshomaru.”

Mirokus eyebrows rose at the thinly veiled anger in her voice. He watched Sesshomaru turn even more cold as he turned to face his mate. “Sango, Kohaku. Come here a second.” Miroku called and pulling the two of them further from the angry demons.

Jamila gave Miroku an understanding grin but turned hard eyes on Sesshomaru. “I'm not going to fight with you anymore. Just understand one thing, I may be your mate but I am not a servant or your property. You don't ALLOW me to do anything.” Jamila leaned into his chest as his eyes flashed red. “I am not going to ever leave you but I won't bend to your will unconditionally either.”

Sesshomaru's arm wrapped around her holding her tightly. “You will listen to me.” He growled at her.

Jamila looked up at him and cocked an eyebrow. “I'll listen,” She moved away swiftly. “That doesn't mean I'll obey.”

Kagome sighed and crossed her arms. “Can you guys not argue? We have information on Naraku for you.”

The two demons looked at her their eyes slightly red but Kagome didn't flinch. “Drama much?” She asked glaring right back at them.

Jamila laughed and sat on the edge of the walkway of the house. “What did you find out?”

Kagome grinned and moved to sit next to Jamila. “Naraku has almost every Jewel shard. The only ones he's missing-”

“Are the mangy wolfs.” Inuyasha interrupted looking at his brother. “But Kouga has been missing for a few weeks so it might be that Naraku already has him.”

Miroku nodded watching Kohaku and Rin run into the house and toward the voice of Jaken. Xanthus stamped his right hoof into the ground looking at his friend. “What happened with Kanika?” He asked glaring at her for ignoring the situation for so long.

“Kanika learned how to turn her limbs into these tentacle things. She has become fully mated with him. It was weird though. He let her come to me in the flesh while he was a puppet. I get the feeling that he doesn't give a damn about her life. She is only there for kurban, sacrifice. Like a lamb to the slaughter.”

“What was that?” Sango asked her head tilting to the side.

“Hmm? Kurban? Turkish, sorry occasionally I switch to different languages.” Jamila said looking off into the sky. “Anyway, I'm sure that Kanika will be back before too long. I did some heavy damage but not enough to kill her unfortunately.” Jamila sighed in disappointment. “What I wouldn't give for an uninterrupted fight just the two of us.”

Kagome grinned. “I get ya.” She looked at Inuyasha standing in front of her next to his oh-so-similar brother. “So what are we going to do now?”

“We're going to go after them what else?” Inuyasha asked growling at her.
