Disclaimer:I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!( Unfortunately) If I did, there would be a lot of
changes , ect. pairings! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!! I know I took a huge amount of time to update,
but I was jammed pack with things to do. First, I just found out my dad almost had cancer, so I
was really upset about that, and I also had to go camping, swimming, vacationing and all the
other stuff that you do when it's summer, so the few days I was home I wasn't up to updating.
Anyways, enough chit-chat, here is the long awaited ( I'M SORRY! ) chapter. Enjoy!
CHAPTER 5:
Silver Assassins P.O.V.
The singing of the birds awoke him. Their high, twittering chatter broke through the haze in his
mind, letting the morning into his senses. The crisp, damp smell of grass, the cool autumn
weather, the feel of a whisper of wind on his exposed skin. He kept his eyes closed, content with
just listening to the sparrows and chick-a-dees converse with each other, and the stream gurgling
lazily in the garden outside the window. A breeze flew in the open window, making the curtains
billow, and sending a shiver of cold down his spine.
He cracked an eye open, and saw Kagome lying asleep on her side, a few stray glimmering
black strands of hair hanging in front of her face. Her lips were curved in a gentle smile, and her
hands were still clutching his snug between her breasts.
‘ Oh, damn, I was hoping she had let me go when we were sleeping!' He blinked. ‘Wait, what am
I thinking? Here I am, alone in a room with a beautiful girl, and she's practically forcing me to
grope her, and I'm saying I wish she had moved my hand away from her breasts? Man, the boys
would get a kick out of this.'
His hand twitched ,and Kagomes breathing hitched, as her fingers grazed the side of her breasts.
He froze, and stared intently at Kagomes face. Her heartbeat had sped up slightly, but she
appeared to still be sleeping soundly. Her breaths were even and deep, and her eyes weren't
moving beneath her eyelids.
He looked back at his hand.
‘ Should I? She wouldn't notice, and it's not like anyone will know.'
His eyes trailed back up, over the swell of her breasts. The black nightgown was loose, and
during her sleep the top had slipped down. Now, it barely covered her breasts, and was resting
provocatively on the top of her breasts. The only thing stopping it from sliding right off and
revealing her beauties to the world, was the thin black strap, that now was on her shoulder.
He flexed his hand, lightly squeezing her breasts, and smirked when Kagome let out another
breathy moan.
‘ Well, well, well, look whose responsive.'
His smirk settled to an impish grin, and specks of iron grey appeared in his shining eyes.
‘ Hmm,' he purred in his head, ‘ let's see how you respond to this...'
He slowly slid his hand, careful of his claws, but letting them drag gently against her breast. He
followed the curve, up and over toward her nipple, relishing in the tiny mews escaping Kagome.
His thumb found her silk covered nipple, and he stroked it, causing Kagome to groan and push
her breasts forward, her heart beating strongly under his hand. He trailed his hand over to the
edge of the nightgown, wanting to feel her warm skin. He reached the edge, biting back a groan
as his hand encountered silky smooth skin. His hand wandered closer to her hardened peak, his
eyes becoming more steely grey the closer he got...
" What are you doing?"
He jerked, snatching his hand away from her breast, the grey fleeing his eyes like a child caught
steeling cookies from his mother.
‘ Oh damn, what a time to wake up. So much for first impressions, now Kagome will think
she's being raped, and will purify me out of existence. What a way to go, being killed by my love
interest,' he sighed remorsefully. ‘Damn my hormones!' He thought angrily. ‘Because of them,
I'm going to die before seeing kagome in all her naked glory, before taking her innocence and
making her my mate! Heck, before I've even had the chance to speak with her. Now someone
else will have that privilege.' he bristled just thinking about it. Someone else even touching
Kagome, kissing her, filling her heart with love that was not his own, and occupying her every
thought.
‘No! I will not allow that to happen! Kagome is the only thing to capture my attention and keep
it. I will not let her go so easily. I'll just have to explain to her what happened, and get her
forgiveness,' he concluded, before straightening himself and raising his silver eyes to meet his
loves ( and soon to be executioners ) fiery brown ones...
Only to meet emerald green.
He stared blankly at the kit glaring daggers at him over Kagomes sleeping form, outwardly
appearing calm, while inside his head he was dancing around frantically in circles.
‘Oh SHIT ! I just groped the kits mother in front of him! Great, now I've probably disturbed the
kit for life, and if I remember correctly, this kid is a real chatterbox,' he thought as he eyed
Shippo, recalling the times when the kid had sneaked into Kagomes secret stash of chocolate
bars, and then had become so hyped up on sugar that he had talked non-stop for around three
hours. He wasn't so sure, because he had left close to the two hour mark, head pounding,
resisting the urge to tear out the kits voice box. He didn't know how Kagome could stand it, she
must have the patience of a monk.
A throat cleared.
He jerked again, snapping himself from his thoughts. Shippo's glare intensified, his little arms
crossed over his chest.
"Well, spit it out, what were you doing to MY momma?" Shippo lifted his chin up, standing
over his mother protectively.
The assassin cleared his throat nervously, scratching the back of his head.
"Umm.. Well, I... uhh..I..," he stuttered sheepishly. ‘Goddammit, think brain, think!'
"You were gonna rape my momma, weren't you," Shippo stated accusingly.
He gaped at the kit, all words of defense leaving him.
‘Rape...rape Kagome?' he thought confused. Confusion left him, though, quickly replaced by
righteous anger.
‘How dare the kit, suggesting I would do such a thing. Does he think I have no honour? Raping
a defenseless woman? Preposterous! As if I would need to force a woman into my bed!' he
thought arrogantly.
"Now see here, kit, I was NOT going to rape Kagome!"
"Oh yeah, well it sure looked like... HEY! How do you know my momma's name? No one ever
told you that!"
"Well, no... but..."
"That means you were spying on us before you kidnapped momma and me!"
"No,I..."
" Course you weren't, then how did you find out? A little birdie told you? Please, how stupid do
you think I am? OH! I bet you heard her name from villagers saying that momma was that stinky
clay pots reencar, uh, reincartation... no, that wasn't it, recaberation? Recarb? Re... something
with a Re...uhhh..."
"Reincarnation?"
"Yeah! That's it! Reincarnation! Well, I'll tell you that my momma is much, much, MUCH
better than that sack of bones!"
"Yes, I'm sure she is, but..."
"My momma smells better, is nicer, prettier, stronger AND doesn't eat dead girls souls!"
"I know, but..."
"You know! So you WERE spying on us!"
"No, I..."
"So not only were you spying on us, you tried to ra-"
"I WASN'T GOING TO RAPE HER!!!"
"...you weren't?"
"No, I already said that!"
"Oh, uhh...OH! YOU WERE TRYING TO STEAL THE JEWEL SHARDS, WEREN'T
YOU!"
"NO! Why would I need them? I'm strong enough already!"
"...seriously?"
"Seriously"
"..."
"..."
"You really weren't gonna rape my momma?"
"Nope"
"Oh...then, why are we here? Are you gonna kill us?"
"No...I...uhhh...saved you from a demon. You and Kagome were injured and you almost died."
"REALLY"
"Really, really"
"Cool!"
"..."
"Why were you touching momma's chest, then?"
"...checking her heartbeat."
"Didn't look that way to me..."
"...well, I was."
"Oh."
"..."
"Are you and momma gonna get married?"
"...married?"
"Married means mated in human terms."
"Oh...WHAT!!!"
Kagome groaned, her eyelashes fluttering, before shoving her head under the pillows.
The boys held their breath, letting out a sigh of relief when kagome started to snore lightly.
The assassin shifted, before settling himself on the bed more comfortably. He stared at Shippo
curiously. "Why did you ask me that question?"
Shippo glanced up from his inspection of the wound on his back. "You mean the one about you
mating my momma?"
"Yeah."
Shippo tucked his haori back in, then scuttled over to the assassin, plopping himself in front of
the silver demon. The kitsune peered up, inspecting the male before him.
His silver spiked hair, that was still a bit ruffled from his sleep, and the studs and hoops that
adorned his ears gave the impression of a "badboy". Shippo had heard his momma use the term
once or twice when she was discussing with Sango in the hot springs what type of boys she likes.
The demon in front of him looked like he fit the term. His body radiated confidence and,
surprisingly, innocence, but there was a cockiness around him that suggested that whatever he
wanted, he got, and was used to things going his way.
His body was slim and sleek, with wide shoulders that tapered off to hips. His body wasn't like
that of Sesshomaru or Inuyasha, who were extremely built, with strength and power radiating
from them. By no means was the silver demon weak, he just wasn't muscle packed upon muscle.
He had more like slightly defined muscles. Silken steel, he fit the description to a "T". The silver
demons face was soft, sleek, and had an innocent air about it, whereas Sesshomaru was sharp,
angled and precise, and Inuyashas' was rough and manly.
Shippo judged the demon to be pretty attractive, and was sure that he had no troubles with
woman.
Shippo himself had grown since the three years he joined the inu-gumi, and now, at the age of
nine it is apparent that he would be a heart-breaker once he got older. His red hair had grown
down to mid-back, and his fox feet now resembled humans, He had his hair out of the bow he
use to wear, leaving it to hang free, though his clothes were the same, only larger because he had
grown taller, his head now reaching to Kagomes' hips.
Shippo broke out of his musings, and he pondered over the question. His mind brought him back
to the scene he had witnessed when he awoke. He had been awakened by Kagome shifting and
moaning. He knew that what he had seen would stay with him for the rest of his life. The first
thing his bleary eyes saw was two forms, one was his mother, laying on her back, the other a
silver demon with a surprisingly innocent, angelic face, kneeling next to Kagome. But it wasn't
the demons appearance that brought such wonder and awe to his eyes. No, it was the demons and
Kagomes souls, huge and intense, his mothers a brilliant blue with ripples of pure white, the
demons a blinding silver with undertones of metallic grey, weaving and winding around each
other. The souls twined themselves together, looking like they were trying to consume each
other, dancing and swaying in unison, giving out a dazzling light, the colours projecting around
the room, shifting and sliding on the walls. The magnificent display enraptured Shippo, and in
that moment, he knew that the two before him were destined to be together.
Of course, that was before he noticed the demons hand inside his mothers nightgown.
Shippo had to suppress a surge of anger at that, but he wasn't going to judge something he
didn't understand. Grown-ups were confusing, that he knew all to well.
Shippo sighed, bringing his attention to the impatient demon kneeling on the edge of the bed.
"Well, it's just that, for some reason, you and Kagome seemed connected in someway," he
answered slowly, gauging the demons reaction.
The demons guarded look opened up, and a brilliant smile replaced his pensive frown, making
his silver eyes lighten so that it was hard to distinguish his iris from the whites the whites of his
eyes, but making his sky blue pupils shine ever more brightly.
Shippo almost gasped, as the beauty of the demon hit him full force. This was such a change
from the boyish look his features resembled, and now Shippo was absolutely positive that the
demon had angel blood in him. Demonic, yet angelic at the same time.
Shippo was sure that the demon was different from Inuyasha. Shippo remembered how bad
Kagomes and Inuyashas relations had gone, before she had gave up and agreed to just stay
friends. A few months after that, Kagome adopted Inuyasha as her brother and Shippo as her son.
As Shippo watched the demon gaze softly at Kagome, he was hit with a sudden memory.
MEMORY
Shippo cried out as the demon tore his claws through his back. The pain was sudden and fierce,
and a whit blinding light erupted in front of his eyes.
He gasped, as he flew across the clearing, his tears sparkling in the air around him, everything
fading and dull because of the pain. The rocks no the ground blurred together, the leaves on the
trees became a mass of yellow and orange, and to Shippo the individual trees had melted and just
became a floating brown painted blotch around him, but he could swear that when his momma
Kagome came bursting out of the floating blob of brown paint, that her pure black eyes with the
blazing white slit pupils was not an effect of his pain hazed mind.
END MEMORY
Shippo snapped back to the present, a question burning to get out. Was Kagome's black eyes a
figment that his pain wracked mind produced, or had her eyes really been like that? And if they
had, why? And how? Shippo decided to voice his questions.
"Ummm. . . excuse me, but when you found us, did you see what momma looked like?"
At the demons questioning look, Shippo expanded his inquiry.
"Well, say, ummm. . . were momma's eyes. . . different?"
The demon sucked in a breath, before letting it out slowly.
"They were black, weren't they?" asked Shippo.
The demon nodded.
"And her hair was swirling around, and her aura! It was, well, like a demons, right?"
The demon nodded again. "Yes"
"But why? Momma's a miko, how could her aura be demonic? Is that even possible?"
The demon paused, before answering.
"Well, yes, in rare cases, extremely rare, there were mikos that supposedly became more
demonic, but there were only one or two cases like this, and the mikos were said to have close
relations with demons. With Kagome, I think it was because she adopted you, and therefore
created a connection between you two. Apparently, when you were in a life-threatening situation,
your emotions and some of your demonic abilities leaked through the bond you share, therefore
effecting Kagome, and sending her into something similar to a youkai rage."
Shippo blinked. "Oh, well, I guess that makes sense."
The demon smiled at Shippo. "You don't have to worry about Kagome, kid, she's fine,
apparently the youkai rage drained quite a bit of her energy, but it's nothing a long rest won't
handle."
Shippo visibly relaxed. "I wasn't worried, I knew momma would be fine, ‘cause she's strong,
and she can handle anything!" Shippo blurted out, the relief evident in his voice.
The demon chuckled lightly. "Yes, I'm sure she can."
Shippo smiled brightly, before suddenly realizing he forgot to ask something.
"Oh! I totally forgot! What's your name?"
The demon blinked. "Oh right, I forgot tot introduce myself, didn't I ?" he said, as he bounced
off the bed, before bowing low before Shippo.
"Well, allow me to introduce myself now. I am the legendary Silver Assassin, Yamato Sorahiko
(last names first, remember) the last remaining silver demon.
WITH SANGO AND MIROKU
Step. Step. Step. Step. Turn. "I can't believe we didn't go after her right away." Step. Step.
Step. Step. Turn. "If something happens to Kagome and Shippo, it will be all my fault." Step.
Step. Step. Step. Turn. "For all we know, Kagome could be lying dead on the forest floor." Step.
Step.
"Sango," Miroku muttered irritably, a headache pounding behind his eyes. "Pacing and working
yourself into hysterics will not help find Lady Kagome. Perhaps you should calm down, so we
can set out to search for her and young Shippo."
Sango whirled around to face Miroku, hands clenched. "You know, we wouldn't be in this
predicament if it wasn't for you. If we had just set out when I wanted to, we could have found her
by now, but no, you just had to wait until morning. Who knows what could have happened to
them by now!" During this rant, Sango had resumed her frantic pacing across the hut.
Miroku let out his breath slowly, fighting the anger rising inside him.
"Sango, blaming me will do nothing, and if I had allowed you to go wandering through the
forest at night, your worry and exhaustion would have prevented you from doing a thorough
search. Now, while we are arguing here like children, not like the mature adults we are, Lady
Kagome and Shippo could be getting into more and more danger, so how about we put this
argument behind us, and start searching for our lost companions.?"
Sango sighed, before picking up her Hirakaitsu, and heading toward the bamboo screen.
"Fine, monk. But understand this, if Kagome or Shippo has one scratch one them, it will be
your head."
Miroku swallowed, before sending a prayer to Buddha to keep Kagome and Shippo safe, for
their sake and his.
YYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I finished! This is 8 1/4 pages long, so I hope it
makes up for the long wait. This would have been out sooner, but while I was typing, my comp.
froze, and I lost all my 6 hours of work, and I was so steaming mad I couldn't type it over for a
while. I know it doesn't have a lot of action, but it will get better later on. Please review! There
really helpful, and it motivates me to work harder and faster, so, pretty please with a cherry on
top! (Puppy dog eyes at readers)
changes , ect. pairings! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!! I know I took a huge amount of time to update,
but I was jammed pack with things to do. First, I just found out my dad almost had cancer, so I
was really upset about that, and I also had to go camping, swimming, vacationing and all the
other stuff that you do when it's summer, so the few days I was home I wasn't up to updating.
Anyways, enough chit-chat, here is the long awaited ( I'M SORRY! ) chapter. Enjoy!

"Seriously"

"You really weren't gonna rape my momma?"
"Nope"
"Oh...then, why are we here? Are you gonna kill us?"
"No...I...uhhh...saved you from a demon. You and Kagome were injured and you almost died."
"REALLY"
"Really, really"
"Cool!"
"..."
"Why were you touching momma's chest, then?"
"...checking her heartbeat."
"Didn't look that way to me..."
"...well, I was."
"Oh."
"..."
"Are you and momma gonna get married?"
"...married?"
"Married means mated in human terms."
"Oh...WHAT!!!"
Kagome groaned, her eyelashes fluttering, before shoving her head under the pillows.

As Shippo watched the demon gaze softly at Kagome, he was hit with a sudden memory.
MEMORY
Shippo cried out as the demon tore his claws through his back. The pain was sudden and fierce,
and a whit blinding light erupted in front of his eyes.
He gasped, as he flew across the clearing, his tears sparkling in the air around him, everything
fading and dull because of the pain. The rocks no the ground blurred together, the leaves on the
trees became a mass of yellow and orange, and to Shippo the individual trees had melted and just
became a floating brown painted blotch around him, but he could swear that when his momma
Kagome came bursting out of the floating blob of brown paint, that her pure black eyes with the
blazing white slit pupils was not an effect of his pain hazed mind.
END MEMORY
Shippo snapped back to the present, a question burning to get out. Was Kagome's black eyes a
figment that his pain wracked mind produced, or had her eyes really been like that? And if they
had, why? And how? Shippo decided to voice his questions.
"Ummm. . . excuse me, but when you found us, did you see what momma looked like?"
At the demons questioning look, Shippo expanded his inquiry.
"Well, say, ummm. . . were momma's eyes. . . different?"
The demon sucked in a breath, before letting it out slowly.
"They were black, weren't they?" asked Shippo.
The demon nodded.
"And her hair was swirling around, and her aura! It was, well, like a demons, right?"
The demon nodded again. "Yes"
"But why? Momma's a miko, how could her aura be demonic? Is that even possible?"
The demon paused, before answering.
"Well, yes, in rare cases, extremely rare, there were mikos that supposedly became more
demonic, but there were only one or two cases like this, and the mikos were said to have close
relations with demons. With Kagome, I think it was because she adopted you, and therefore
created a connection between you two. Apparently, when you were in a life-threatening situation,
your emotions and some of your demonic abilities leaked through the bond you share, therefore
effecting Kagome, and sending her into something similar to a youkai rage."
Shippo blinked. "Oh, well, I guess that makes sense."
The demon smiled at Shippo. "You don't have to worry about Kagome, kid, she's fine,
apparently the youkai rage drained quite a bit of her energy, but it's nothing a long rest won't
handle."
Shippo visibly relaxed. "I wasn't worried, I knew momma would be fine, ‘cause she's strong,
and she can handle anything!" Shippo blurted out, the relief evident in his voice.
The demon chuckled lightly. "Yes, I'm sure she can."
Shippo smiled brightly, before suddenly realizing he forgot to ask something.
"Oh! I totally forgot! What's your name?"
The demon blinked. "Oh right, I forgot tot introduce myself, didn't I ?" he said, as he bounced
off the bed, before bowing low before Shippo.
"Well, allow me to introduce myself now. I am the legendary Silver Assassin, Yamato Sorahiko
(last names first, remember) the last remaining silver demon.
WITH SANGO AND MIROKU
Step. Step. Step. Step. Turn. "I can't believe we didn't go after her right away." Step. Step.
Step. Step. Turn. "If something happens to Kagome and Shippo, it will be all my fault." Step.
Step. Step. Step. Turn. "For all we know, Kagome could be lying dead on the forest floor." Step.
Step.
"Sango," Miroku muttered irritably, a headache pounding behind his eyes. "Pacing and working
yourself into hysterics will not help find Lady Kagome. Perhaps you should calm down, so we
can set out to search for her and young Shippo."
Sango whirled around to face Miroku, hands clenched. "You know, we wouldn't be in this
predicament if it wasn't for you. If we had just set out when I wanted to, we could have found her
by now, but no, you just had to wait until morning. Who knows what could have happened to
them by now!" During this rant, Sango had resumed her frantic pacing across the hut.
Miroku let out his breath slowly, fighting the anger rising inside him.
"Sango, blaming me will do nothing, and if I had allowed you to go wandering through the
forest at night, your worry and exhaustion would have prevented you from doing a thorough
search. Now, while we are arguing here like children, not like the mature adults we are, Lady
Kagome and Shippo could be getting into more and more danger, so how about we put this
argument behind us, and start searching for our lost companions.?"
Sango sighed, before picking up her Hirakaitsu, and heading toward the bamboo screen.
"Fine, monk. But understand this, if Kagome or Shippo has one scratch one them, it will be
your head."
Miroku swallowed, before sending a prayer to Buddha to keep Kagome and Shippo safe, for
their sake and his.
YYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I finished! This is 8 1/4 pages long, so I hope it
makes up for the long wait. This would have been out sooner, but while I was typing, my comp.
froze, and I lost all my 6 hours of work, and I was so steaming mad I couldn't type it over for a
while. I know it doesn't have a lot of action, but it will get better later on. Please review! There
really helpful, and it motivates me to work harder and faster, so, pretty please with a cherry on
top! (Puppy dog eyes at readers)
