Once the initial shock wore off the two women, Sango finally spoke, "You mean...she is so young...are you sure?"
"Demon Slayer, I do not lie. I know what it is that I scent, it is the same scent that you are producing at this very minute. And since I make it a habit not to associate with too many humans. I feel enough respect towards you two as powerful warriors and respectable women. It would be very appreciative if the two of you would take it upon yourselves to help my ward when the time comes."
"It would be our honor to assist you in this ordeal Lord Sesshoumaru." Kagome said smiling while Sango merely nodded from embarrassment from his blunt statement about her current situation.
Together the three returned to the group. Once there Sesshoumaru quietly watched as Kagome tortured Jaken and sat Inuyasha for mistreating Shippo and Rin in their absence.
'It is amazing that she is so protective of my ward yet doesn't care that her Monk friend is still strangely unconscious from the Demon Slayer's attack to his person earlier.' he mused.
Rin and Shippo eagerly accepted Kagome's act of kindness. "Thank you Pretty Lady for standing up for young Shippo and myself to Master Jaken and Master Inuyasha."
Kagome bent down and hugged the young girl and said, "Rin you know you can call me Kagome right?"
"Oh no, Rin must never disrespect you in such a way Lady Kagome! Oh, I almost forgot to tell you; I picked you these pretty flowers right before we got here today!" Rin said as she handed Kagome the flowers with a big smile on her face.
Kagome slightly frowned at the young girl but before she could say anything else to the child Sesshoumaru spoke up, "I have taught Rin to always show the proper respect to all her elders, regardless of status or of what they say to counter their title."
She noticed how he glared at Inuyasha while he spoke of status, 'No doubt a little disturbed that his ward would consider Inuyasha a Master for herself.' she mused. However a slight blush found her face when he ended by looking at her. "I...I understand and apologize to you, Lord Sesshoumaru. As well as to you too, Miss Rin!" she exclaimed happily.
"Feh, enough of this nonsense; if you three are done talking it would be best that we continue on our path unless you want Miss Rin to witness how lady like you really are in battle. We ARE searching for the Jewel Shards, remember Wench?"
"Lady Kagome is not a wench Master Inuyasha. It is not a very good idea to continue to provoke her wrath by calling her as such." Rin said with a smirk. She knew by the look on Kagome's face that she was about to say the three letter word that would cause the half breed to rethink ever calling her such a degrading name again.
"Oh Inuyasha!" Kagome said sickening sweetly. "SIT!" she yelled so loud that you could still hear her echo from miles away.
After recovering from the loud yell Sesshoumaru and Shippo both inwardly smirked as they saw the deep crevasse that Inuyasha laid sprawled in.
"Um Kagome," Sango said as she ran to catch up with her sister, along side Miroku and Shippo. "You seem to be getting stronger or either something else is going on one. I have never heard you yell so loud or seen you over power Inuyasha's beads so strongly. They almost broke with that command."
"I agree Lady Kagome. Yesterday morning when you sat him, though the one from yesterday morning pales in comparison, I noticed you starting to over power the beads. You have some how become stronger to the point that the enchanted beads can't contain your powers for much longer. Has something happened recently?" Miroku asked.
Kagome stopped upon hearing that and looked back at her friends. She noticed that Lord Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Jaken where heading in the other direction but paused as well. 'I guess he heard what Miroku and Sango said and is curios himself. Good thing he is a dog and not a cat demon!' she mused.
"Well honestly Miroku I can't think of anything that has happened. Like I told you this morning I am tired and stiff all over, but I do feel a little more powerful than normal. However that can easily be explained from my adrenaline rush from being so angry."
With that said she saw Sesshoumaru and his pack continue on their way as well as her own pack.
Twenty minutes later Inuyasha finally joined up with them. He was beyond pissed but at the same time he was fearful of Kagome's wrath.
'I can't believe that wench sat me so hard, and the nerve of these others just up and leaving me like that. I have to get my Mate to remove these blasted beads so the wench can't control me anymore.' he fumed to himself.
They all continued in silence until lunch time. "Inuyasha I need a break. Can we please rest for a while?" Kagome asked as she felt her body muscles tighten even more.
But before he could answer she stated, "I sense the Jewel Shards...I think...yes their are five and they are coming in fast!"
Inuyasha looked at her in disbelief, "Wench you are loosing your touch, it is only Koga who approaches and he is not any stronger than the last time we saw him so he doesn't have any other shards than just the two like always."
"Hey Muttface, stop calling my woman a wench. Your Bitch is more deserving of that title, not Lady Kagome. Also she is not loosing her touch, her senses are sharper than I would have thought, especially since I placed a concealment spell around all three shards that I now have in my possession." Koga smirked.
"Hi Koga, how did you come into possession of these three Jewel Shards?" Kagome asked trying to avoid the fact that her senses caught them even though they were inside a concealment spell.
"It is simple Kagome, I had some lower level demon, even lower than Muttface here, decide he was going to try and take my Jewel Shards. So once I defeated the scum I took his shards and casted a concealment spell on them to draw less attention until I could gift you with my three shards!"
"I thank you Koga, but I don't see how you can gift me with something that was originally in my own body to begin with." she said smirking at his disappointed look. 'I can't believe that he is trying to court me when he has already promised himself to Ayame!' she mused.
After yet again getting turned down by Kagome, Koga handed her his three shards and turned to leave after stating, "You look exceptionally well today Lady Kagome. You seem full of power, keep Muttface here in his place and when you are ready I am and will be waiting for you."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha as she suddenly realized that he didn't fight with Koga like he always did in the past, 'Guess he now realizes that he can't dispute Koga's claims on me anymore since he mated Kikyo.'
Lunch went along quietly as well, regardless of how hard Kagome tried to get Inuyasha to talk. Finally giving up she packed everything back up and they began again on their quest.
'I just wish I knew what was happening to me.' she mused totally forgetting about her mother's letter in her backpack.
'You will little one...you will just wait!' thought a woman who heard everything that was running through Kagome's mind.
Kagome turned her head to look at the tree line as she thought that she felt a power stirring, 'I could have sworn I heard someone speak, almost like it was in my head!' she laughed to herself and continued walking.
"Demon Slayer, I do not lie. I know what it is that I scent, it is the same scent that you are producing at this very minute. And since I make it a habit not to associate with too many humans.
