InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Hidden Strength No Longer ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Previously:

Everything around Koga started to shift and blur until he found himself on a cliff with an ocean on his back.

‘Huh good thing I inhaled and marked that place’s scent to memory. I will have to find it within a month after all.’ “Now this can only be worse if Kagura was here.”

“Did you call mutt?” Kagura’s airy voice laughed on the winds and pushed him over the cliff to the awaiting water below.

“Think again if I am going to be this easy on you.” Kagura declared as she watched Koga hit the crashing waves.


Chapter 3:

The waves were crashing down on him faster than he could get away or even catch a breath. ‘Am I to die without even getting a chance to find my mate? No! She is challenging me for her sister and I shall prove that I am right for Kanna.’ With that thought his struggle became renewed as he finally got out of the strong current and made his way to shore.

Finally on land he looked at the jagged cliff’s edge and smirked. With his knees bent low to the ground he leapt into the air eager to get away from the salt water at his back. However he miscalculated for the sudden strong wind pushing him back down and back towards the water.

“I told you wolf you can not and will not have my sister. YOU DON’T DESERVE HER!” Kagura bellowed the last.

“Kagura give me the best that you got but you will not keep me from her. I know that we are meant for one another and if you truly cared for Kanna like you pretend to then you would know that as well.”

“You are meant for Kanna? Ha, just like you were meant for Kagome? How quickly your heart changes it mind. You are only going after my sister because Kagome refuses you and Ayame has moved on. You will never be worthy of her and it is time that you learn it.”

Koga grimaced as what felt like typhoon force winds were being directed solely on him. ‘Looks like I will have to climb out of here.’

Looking around he found a cave’s opening with what looked like a path going up the side of the cliff. He very slowly made his way over to the trail and began to walk and climb up it. The narrow opening made it even easier for Kagura to direct her wind on him.

Kagura knew that if Kanna found out about what she was doing and how she was interfering in the challenge that Kanna would not be happy. ‘Why Kanna do you think you deserve to be stuck with such an imbecile? You can find better if only you would give your self time.’

‘That dearest sister is not true and don’t think for one instance that I don’t know what you are and did just do to Koga. Though it is not right for you to interfere I can not stop you. I warned him of his challenges that lie ahead I just didn’t tell him what and who they would be by. I only ask that you don’t kill him, at least not before he has failed a challenge, please sister.’

Kagura smirked and could do nothing but agree to her sister’s request. She couldn’t help but think how even Kanna felt that Koga would fail in at least one of the many challenges ahead of him.

Half way up the cliff Koga caught a scent, a scent of wolves. ‘This could be good or bad. Though I really don’t have time to stop, there is no telling how long or strong Kagura will continue with the wind blowing directly down on me.’

Looking down on the wolves that had gathered on the cliff Kagura realized that this was one of Koga’s task, could he be dependable or will he be one track minded was the question at stake? Pulling back a little Kagura thought for sure he would be the later and therefore would fail and she could just kill him, Kanna had given her permission after all.

Noticing the wind backing off a little he sprints ahead as fast as he can so that he can finally be back on the cliff top again. Seeing the end of the trail in sight he sighs a sigh of relief only to tread carefully as he notices that the wolf pack is still their, almost like they are waiting on him for something.

“Tiponya we should leave here. We don’t know if he is friendly or why he is even traveling alone. Wolves don’t travel alone.”

“Pakuna you worry too much. We sisters can take care of one wolf should he intend to do harm; now quiet before you scare him off.”

“Who died and left you in charge of us Tiponya?” snarled Yenene.

Tiponya glanced at her fellow sister Yenene, “All of our parents and elders died. I am simply a little more level headed and older than the six of you. When and if we ever find a male to become our new pack leader I will more than happily step down. I miss Mingan as much as the next but if we are to survive we must learn to trust and get along Yenene.”

Koga stopped as he heard the strange language being spoken amongst the wolves and decided to wait for them to stop talking, he could feel anxiety and rage coming from different ones.

Finally coming to the top of the cliff Koga glanced at the seven wolves and noticed instantly they were all female and all still just pups.

“Why are you pups out away from your pack, where is your alpha, your elders?”

The seven wolves stared at the two legged human that smelled like a wolf as they tried to understand what he spoke. Finally Tiponya stepped forwards and barked and sniped at him.

Koga raised an eyebrow as he barely made out what she had said. ‘These are just regular wolves that have lost their ability and knowledge of how to transform. I don’t have time for this. I have one month to get to Kanna and no telling how difficult Kagura is going to make it much less what other obstacles lie ahead of me.’

Kagura watched with a ready gust of wind to blow him over the cliff to his death, she could tell he was about to brush past the starving, unattended, and untrained pups to continue on his single minded quest. ‘You are just as undeserving as I always knew you were.’

As Koga was in the middle of the pups he caught the scent of starvation on the older pups and sickness in the younger ones. He knew they were untrained and pups that don’t have elders and alphas never last long on their own, ‘I can’t even communicate with them that well; why am I caring about this pack of pups? I should just go about my day and just ignore them.’

Just as he was about to walk out of the clearing he heard one laugh and snarl at the one that had originally approached him.

“I told you Tiponya, he wants nothing to do with us and you were just wasting our time. We should be out looking for actual wolves not humans that think they are.”

“Now you listen here pup, I am a wolf. I am the wolf prince of my pack in as if you even know where that is. I have no time for this I am on a quest and must find my mate. You seven could transform to a human form too if you tried but apparently your elders didn’t deem you worthy with the knowledge of how.”

Tiponya did not like this male growling at her younger sister no matter how rude she had been to this apparently human looking wolf. “Watch your tongue Tala.”

Her sisters laughed at the name as they knew what it meant.

Helki laughing so hard blurted out, “You called him a wolf’s name for a female, sister!”

Tiponya smirked back, “You act like a bitch you get called one.” Never once did she take her eyes off the now pissed looking wolf.

Koga was just about to his patience level when he understood that he was just called a girls name which meant wolf. He chose instead to speak to their alpha.

“I am she for the time being, what of it.” Tiponya snarled.

“You are what, barely seven moon cycles. How can you possibly be the alpha?”

“All of our pack was killed; we are all that is left as if you care. So find your stupid mate we don’t need you or anyone else.” Kaliska snorted.

Sighing dejectedly Koga plopped down to the ground, “Do you pups even know how to hunt, take care of yourselves, anything?”

Shyly Pakuna stepped forward and yipped out a no. He could tell that she was one of the youngest pups and probably the least experienced.

“I will help you pups find a new pack or at least someone that can help you, are you averse to being around humans?”

He watched with a sigh of relief as they all shook their heads no but one, the one that had insulted him earlier. ‘She is a trouble maker I can tell.’

Yenene could tell he didn’t trust her but she didn’t have to answer to him anyways, he was nothing but another elder that thought he could boss her around, ‘Well he has another thing coming to him if he thinks he can boss me around.’

After having an hour chat with Tiponya, Koga learned that it was simpler to just talk in wolf tongue, for the most part they were similar in language.

“What are your names oldest to youngest?”

“I am Tiponya and these are my sisters, Yenene, Kaliska, Taipa, Helki, Pakuna, and Malila. We use to live with a Miwok Indian tribe, they were in a territorial battle when we got separated; that is how our elders died.”

‘So their elders decided to conform to being the human’s hunters more than likely and they probably also gave up their transformations.’

“I will help you pups find this tribe that you speak of but on the way you will learn from me what I can teach. First thing though we must heal Helki, Pakuna, and Malila of the sickness spreading through their body, more likely from something you pups ate. Second Tiponya when was the last time you and Kaliska ate? Don’t think about lying to me because I can tell it has at least been a few days since you reek of starvation unlike the others.”

Kaliska glared at Yenene, she too should have smelled of starvation unless she was not sharing. “It has been four days since last we ate; we have been too worried about the younger ones needing food to eat ourselves.”

Koga nodded his head and he also noticed the glare by Kaliska that was directed at the second oldest wolf. He understood why the look was passed for Yenene is older than Kaliska and should be just as hungry as the other two are. “I will go hunt for game big enough to feed all of you while Yenene and Kaliska go in search for an herb that will settle the little ones fever.”

Before Yenene could protest and claim that she would not be bossed around both Kaliska and Tiponya glared at her and ordered her to do as he said or she could starve this night.

Back in

Kagome reached the door to Sesshoumaru’s study right as she got the feeling someone was right behind her. Turning around to see if she could spot the being that she felt, she became confused as she found no one there.

Sesshoumaru got up to open the door as he sensed Kagome was just outside the door. Opening the shoji doors just as she was turning back around he asked her, “Is there something wrong Kagome?”

“No it is nothing; I just thought someone was behind me is all. It is probably just the fact that this is all new to me and I haven’t been in a place this big since Na…”

Sesshoumaru immediately knew why she had stopped but he did not like when she lowered her head to look at the floor in shame. Lifting his hand to her face he placed a curled hand under her chin to lift her face back up to meet his eyes.

“You need never to be shame for that of which happened. I understand it will take time and patience to get you beyond that of which you have lived through but I want you to know that you are no different now as you were eight months ago. Well I take that back. You are, no longer following that idiot of a half brother of mine so loyally and blindly, so surely you must be smarter now!” he finished with a teasing smirk.

She playfully swatted at his hand and again the feeling of someone glaring at her returned but since Sesshoumaru didn’t sense anything she brushed it off as her paranoia.

“You, Lord Sesshoumaru, are bad. Inuyasha is not that bad and you know it.”

“How many times must I remind you Kagome to just call me Sesshoumaru? Especially when we are alone like now.” he sighed as he closed the shoji door and Kagome sat down.

“Sorry old habits die hard I suppose. You might as well get use to it I suppose.” She smirked.

“Then I guess I shall Lady Kagome.” Sesshoumaru bit back the laughter that threatened to burst out his tightly sealed lips at her injustice look.

She couldn’t believe she had just fallen into his trap, if she continued to call him Lord than he would add Lady to her name; it was only the right thing to do after all in this time period.

“Fine Sesshoumaru what did you want to talk about? Is this about what I will be helping Rin with? I have already informed her that I will be helping her in regards to her cycles and becoming a woman, and she was good with that decision.”

“Yes that is the main reason I called for you to join me but I also wanted you to help Shippo find a suitable guard to be with her at all times and keep her safe. I would swear she had fox blood if I didn’t know she was a full blooded human.”

“Why can’t Shippo continue to watch her? He is wonderful at multi-tasking.”

“Shippo will be completely swamped with his new duties as captain plus I have already told him when Rin’s suitors come to the palace that he is to watch them constantly.”

Kagome hid her horrified shock at this, ‘How can he ask Shippo to watch after males that are there to take away his love?’ “Rin’s suitors? Does she know that she has any, how does she feel about that? She is not yet ready to be married or mated off yet.”

“I am well aware and as much as I do not wish to part with Rin I must at least look as if I am truly open to the idea and must play this all out.”

Kagome nodded her head in understanding, ‘He is not ready to give his daughter away!’

“I would also like to have you start training as well Kagome. You need to learn how to protect yourself and use your powers fully; I have to wonder if you are not doing so already to your full capacity.”

“You are correct, there is much I know that I have yet to learn but at the same time I have been unable to do much of any training with others without them wanting…something…in return.” she finished the last part very quietly.

He was seeing red, how dare others judge her to be like some tramping demoness that has no value for herself.

When she heard him growl she smiled up to him with an understanding look, “It is fine really Sesshoumaru, I told them exactly were they could go. I also might have accidently opened up the earth to let them get a good glimpse of the place.”

He could not hold back the pride and smirk that came forward from that little admission. ‘So she has not lost her spitfire attitude after all. This is a very good thing.’

Suddenly the shoji room was slammed open and Rin came barging in uncharacteristic of her self.

“If I have to put up with suitors coming and calling on me that I don’t care for or even like, and if I am to loose Captain Shippo as my guard; I at least want to be able to choose who that person is.”

Sesshoumaru raised his brow at her, ‘Has she finally lost her mind, coming in here and yelling at me as well as to demand things from me.’

“Rin, Sweetie, do you have someone in mind that you would like to be your guard?” Kagome asked while trying to calm the young girl down.

Rin turned towards her and nodded her head, now feeling very timid and embarrassed from her sudden outburst and behavior. ‘How else am I supposed to feel though when I just get told that I can’t be with the one person I love most in the world? I can even tell that Shippo is closing off the door to me; he is shutting himself off to me.’

“If I can’t have Captain Shippo then I would like for Lady Kagome to be my guard.”

Kagome almost choked on the air she had been happily breathing in at that moment.

Sesshoumaru looked from his ward to Kagome, who was starting to turn red, back to his ward. “Have you thought to maybe ask Lady Kagome if she would even want to guard you as well as train you?”

Rin turned happily to Kagome knowing that Sesshoumaru had agreed already it was now up to the demigoddess if she wanted too or not.

“Lady Kagome please say you will, I will promise to actually behave for once in my life and not make you have to chase after me like everyone else does!”

“Who can say no to a face like that? But seriously I am not holding my breath on you behaving, you are a child and it is human nature for children to constantly get into trouble and play jokes and pranks on adults!”

Sesshoumaru was happy that Kagome had agreed to Rin’s ridiculous promise, even he knew that it would never happen. He watched as his ward went to hug Kagome and as much as he could tell that she was fighting within herself she still tensed up when Rin engulfed her in a hug.

Rin tried not to let it show that she noticed Kagome tensing up, she also tried to hide her concern about it but she knew that Kagome would need time to heal from whatever it was that she had been put through.

After Rin left the room Sesshoumaru stood up; while Kagome was still trying to calm down, and sat beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder to draw her attention to him.

When he had her full attention Sesshoumaru asked, “One day I would really appreciate it if you would tell me everything that happened these past seven months. I know it is probably still too early to talk about any of it but I would like for you to one day confide in me. Just know I am always here whenever you need me.”

She smiled an appreciative smile for that comment, “Will you be joining us for lunch Sesshoumaru?”

Nodding his head he stood back up and offered her a hand, which she happily took.

After lunch Shippo headed back to the training grounds were he was to observe everyone and their progress and have others get help where ever he felt they needed it. He was sure that the other soldiers would have a problem taking orders from him with him being younger and with the fact that he was practically Kagome’s son and she is intended to be Sesshoumaru’s mate; he thought for sure someone would just assume that is how he got his current position. However, no one questioned it instead they all thought it was about damn time Sesshoumaru promoted him.

He knew everyone pretty much knew what the hell they were doing and he didn’t really need to be watching so he took this time to really think about everything that was going on. He started to think about Kagome and her abandoning him and about the pain he feels in his chest at the thought of Rin having suitors.

‘I know Kagome did what she thought was right but it wasn’t just her choice to make. She didn’t even ask me how I felt, I would have gone with her in a heartbeat if only she had given me that choice; but no she decided for me yet again and I was yet again left behind only this time I wasn’t left in a cave. I know I shouldn’t be mad at her but I can’t help but feel that she abandoned me right when we both needed each other the most.’

He didn’t know everything that she had been through but he knew it was bad. ‘If I had been with her I could have protected her and kept her safe. I could have been repaying her for all the times that she fought to keep me safe. Does she not believe me strong enough to protect her and myself? Does she not know I would gladly sacrifice my life for her? That I would trade all that I have been through these past seven months just to have been with her?’

He stopped there noticing that pain in his heart again as an image of Rin popped up in his mind, something he wouldn’t have had if he had been traveling with Kagome for seven months. ‘I just wish she would tell me what it was that was so important for her to leave me behind. Where was she at all this time, why couldn’t she even come and visit?’

It never occurred to him that this was all for his own good, that she had been kidnapped again and raped and beaten repeatedly and that if he had been with her he would either be dead by now or used as a tool to make her bend to their demands. Then when she found out she killed her own offspring during her escape from captivity she went into a downward spiral and that it was Akiko that finally was able to pull her back out of her depression. No these were all things Kagome refused to tell him and hoped with all her heart that he never found out. She never told Shippo that whenever he thought of her that his thoughts would pop up in her mind as if she were talking to him. Kagome quickly wiped away the single tear that fell down her cheek as she heard all the hurt and anger Shippo had for her. ‘I love you Shippo and one day you might just learn that what I did was for the best; for you and your future.’

Shippo decided to delve a little deeper to see exactly how deep his feelings for Rin went. He knew he cared deeply for her and even knew that he would easily lay his life on the line for her just like Kagome but what he felt was more powerful than what he felt for Kagome at the same time. He soon came to the conclusion that he was in love with her but also that it would never happened, ‘She is to be married off to another lord or a minor lord but none the less she is out of my league, no way would Sesshoumaru allow Rin to marry below her station as his ward. I am nothing but I common soldier, by the gods how could I be so stupid as to fall in love with her; but then again who wouldn’t? I must stay away and start to distance myself from her, I can’t continue with these feelings for her; it will only hurt me in the long run when she has been married off to someone else.

Finally coming out of his thoughts he realized it was past the time that everyone normally dismissed for the day so he quickly bid everyone a good day and headed to the great hall where he was still allowed to eat dinner with everyone.

As Shippo entered the dinning room he noticed that everyone but Kagome was there and ready to start eating, he turned a questioning look to Sesshoumaru and was about to question where she was when he motioned towards the door that heads to the garden. Nodding his head Shippo walked towards the door and stepped out in the garden, instantly he was bombarded with the scent of her and tears; but he could also hear her singing.

Shippo sat down on the bench that he found near the koi pond and listened to her song. He enjoyed all the times in the past when she would sing to him, it was so heavenly. He wondered who this song was referring to as he listened to the lyrics.

He knew this song totally fit his mother but who was the person that showed her what needed to be seen. Who taught her see things in a different view then what she use to in her own time? He couldn’t help but be a little jealous that she might have met someone else on her journey when she was away and that she was missing them now that she was back with him.

Now he knew that Kagome really had met someone else while she had abandoned him. That person had to be the reason why she never came back to him, why she was so surprised and reluctant to come back with him and Sesshoumaru. She missed who ever it was and was moping around the palace wishing they were here with her instead.

It was almost to painful to sit here and listen to her sing about someone that had changed her life so much when all he wanted while she was away to come back for him, to have faith in him just to find out now that she had someone that she did have faith in and it wasn’t him. She didn’t need, want, or love him any more and it was becoming very obvious as the song lyrics sunk in more and more.

Sensing that the song had come to an end finally Shippo stood up and barked, “We are all waiting on you so we can eat dinner.”

Kagome jumped at the anger and hurt in his voice, ‘How long was he there? What is wrong with him?’

“Shippo?”

“Don’t; don’t pretend that you care Kagome. Your song just proves how much you really do care about us, about your past friends, and about me. Why are you even here when apparently there is someone out there that you are missing so much?”

She could do nothing to stop the tears that left her eyes, ‘Have I hurt you so much that you would not understand that you are the only person I have wanted to see and be with more than anything? Is it too late for you to forgive me?’

“If my leaving will please you Captain Shippo then that is exactly what I shall do. I do not wish to upset Lord Sesshoumaru’s home with my presence any more than I already have. I can leave now and find a suitable lodging for the night then come morning I will be off the Western lands forever; just say the word Captain Shippo.”

He couldn’t understand it, where was her fire, her spirit. Why was she so submissive all of a sudden? No matter how angry and hurt he was with her; he knew watching her walk away again would kill him completely.

“It is not my place to tell you to leave or stay. Leave if you wish, stay if you wish; I was merely stating that if you are so unhappy here with us and wish to be with this other person so much then leave, why torture yourself with your past more than you already have.”

With that said Kagome watched as Shippo walked back into the main dining hall, suddenly eating was no longer as inviting. She did not wish for everyone to continue to delay eating on her behalf so she walked in only to excuse herself to her room.

“I feel unwell and would wish to return to my room at this time if it is alright with you m’lord?” Kagome asked as she bent all the way to the floor in a very submissive position.

All looked at her then to Shippo then finally at Sesshoumaru to see what he would say.

‘What is her problem? I don’t understand what is going on with her any more.’

‘What has happened to make her behave as such; did something happen just now between her and the fox? If only she wasn’t masking her scent I could tell what ails her or if she were lying.’

“Very well Lady Kagome, would you like if someone brings you some food later?”

“No m’lord you have been too kind to one such as myself as is, there is no need to bother; I simply require rest.” With that said she walked out and returned to her room.

Sesshoumaru immediately turned to the fox and questioned him, “What happened just now in the garden?”

“She was singing and I could tell that she missed someone so I told her that if being here was causing her so much pain why hurt herself more and stay, why not return to whoever it is that she misses. It is very clear by everything that she wants nothing to do with us any more.”

“Runt you have better watch your damn mouth, you know nothing but the bare minimum of what she has been through. As much as Kagome has changed one thing hasn’t and that is that if she didn’t want to be here she wouldn’t be; she is here willingly. Promise to Sesshoumaru or no promise. How could you even think that way about her, hell the song could have been about you for all you know; its only like she hasn’t seen her son in over seven months and the only time she does see him he is being an ass towards her. Put yourself in her shoes you spoiled brat.” Inuyasha growled.

Egeria stood up and asked to be excused. As she walked by the young fox she imparted on him the feelings of Kagome for the past seven months, of her longing for him even in her darkest of days and even with Akiko’s presence it was still Shippo she wished was with her.

No one saw the interaction between the two but everyone noticed as Shippo just sat there looking even more guilty then he did before and ashamed of himself. He could tell by Kagome’s feelings that she honestly believed that he was in a better and safer place at the palace and away from her; however when he tried to figure out why she had gotten so depressed the link was severed just as quickly as it had begun.

“It is not for you to know yet young one, and even then it will be her that will tell you that secret.” Virbius stated for the confused fox. He knew exactly what Egeria had done, it was tricky and underhanded but sometimes you have to play like a fox to get a fox to listen.

After everyone finished the evening meal the ladies except Rin went and tracked down Egeria only to figure out she was already in Kagome’s room. They were just as concerned about Kagome as the next person but they had one trump card that the boys didn’t.

Sango slid the shoji screen open quickly and yell, “GIRL’S NIGHT IN KAG’S ROOM!”

Kagome quickly wiped away the tears and laughed at her pseudo sister and then at the confused looks on Egeria’s and Ayame’s faces.

Egeria was about to yell at the intrusion but the shout of this strange phrase had her more confused than angry, she had been trying to calm her mistress down and explain that Shippo was just acting out of anger and not understanding everything and so was reading things into it which weren’t there. However whatever this girl’s night thing was seemed to be a good thing since it got Kagome to actually laugh.

“You know Kagome we never really did talk earlier.” Sango stated bashfully.

“Its ok Sango, I am so happy that you and Inuyasha found happiness with one another. I knew you weren’t good for Miroku; he would have ended up dead by head trauma if he had stayed with you anyways. Some how though I did not picture you, Ayame, to be such a lush over the big pervert, you definitely had us all fooled. I couldn’t be happier for the two of you and I am also thankful that you, Ayame got over Koga especially since he is now on another continent chasing after Kanna for her hand in mating. Also I don’t think I would be here if you and Miroku didn’t get it on!” Kagome joked with a wiggle of her brow.

“You are definitely Miroku’s offspring!” they all joked at once.

“Any ways this is not what is important what is important is when will my father be born? Also how much longer do you have Sango?” Kagome chirped up.

All eyes turned to Sango, “Well you see we just found out last month, thanks to Lady Kaede that we are expecting. With our pup being more human she thinks it will be a full nine moon cycle term.”

Ayame boasted, “I only have a matter of days. I keep trying to over exert myself so that he will come on out and get this over with but Miroku keeps coming and chiding me as if I were an ill behaved pup. He just doesn’t understand how uncomfortable it is to carry a pup for so long. It should have only been six months but no we had to have conflicting auras that needed the little baby to grow more into his little body a little longer.”

“See what type of mood swings you have to look forward to Sango!” Kagome laughed while ducking down to miss the pillow that Ayame threw towards her playfully.

The four females continued to play and gossip and chat about the old times all night and well into the morning hours until finally after eating breakfast decided to either lay down for a nap or just go ahead and get started on the day’s duty.

Kagome knew her friends would be leaving by the end of the week, she couldn’t blame them for wanting to get back to their daily lives and knew that she will eventually see less and less of Miroku and Ayame; especially since she didn’t want to alter time by interfering in her father’s life.
