August 9, 2003

Sesshomaru slept until late the next morning. Actually it was afternoon when he woke up and he felt like he wanted to go back to sleep but he got up because of all the yelling going on down stairs.

"HOW DARE YOU JUST WALK IN HERE THEN START GIVING ORDERS!!!!" he heard Kagome yell at some one.

"What are you yelling at Kagome?" Sesshomaru questioned as he came down the stairs.

"Oh so the western lord didn't run like the cowered he is." The lord of the east said.

"Get out of my castle!" Sesshomaru growled.

"You heard him move it!" Kagome said threateningly.

"Nice servant I gave you. She's very loyal to you." The lord of the eastern lands said and put his hand on her cheek.

"Go to hell!" Kagome snapped and grabbed the demons hand. He pulled his hand back very quickly as if he was in pain.

"Oh you've improved Lady Kagome!" Miroku said.

"Lady?" the lord of the eastern lands said slightly confused.

"I'm a Miko moron! Hence lady Kagome no Sesshomaru isn't my mate." Kagome said then smirked at the fear in the eastern lords fear.

"This isn't over Sesshomaru! These lands won't be yours much longer!" the other lord said.

"We'll see now won't we!" Sesshomaru said in a very unemotional tone. Then the other lord left the castle.

"Why didn't you just kill him?" Sango asked.

"I am not at war with him so I will not kill him yet… he has yet to make me mad enough." Sesshomaru said.

"We know about the war he just delivered an ultimatum for the western lands surrender. Unconditional of course. The declaration of war was announced early this morning." Miroku said.

"And why didn't anyone come get me!!" Sesshomaru said angrily.

"Lady Kagome has been doing all the work since the declaration of war we saw no reason to wake you." Miroku said.

"Kagome…" Sesshomaru said turning to her.

"Yes Sesshomaru. I think you'll find what I've done pretty good. Hopefully!" Kagome said as she hung her head down.

"Don't do that. It doesn't fit you." Sesshomaru said tilting her head up so she was looking at him. "Thank you. Now lest go see what you've done." He said and started for his study.

"Rin, Shippou you can come out now." Kagome said behind her then followed Sesshomaru.

"We'll watch them." Sango said.

"Good thank you." Kagome said just before she went into Sesshomaru's study.

In Sesshomaru's Study!

"Now exactly how long ago was the declaration of war announced?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I'm not sure I lost track of time working on this stuff. Uhm…five or six hours at the most why?" Kagome asked.

"Good we should still have about 19 hours to come up with enough to defend the castle." Sesshomaru said.

"Sesshomaru that's my job you just handle the front lines. I've got the castle figured out." Kagome said.

"You do. Well let's hear it." Sesshomaru said and sat down behind his desk.

"All right fine here you go. I have all the shards but three well Kouga has the other three with our combined force plus Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha we can defend the castle very easily." Kagome said.

"And how do you expect to get this Kouga person here?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Easy. Want me to show you?" Kagome said and smiled at him.

"Sure go right a head." Sesshomaru said doubtfully.

"All right. Since Kouga will come so will Inuyasha." Kagome said then Sesshomaru noticed that her sent increased like she was scared.

"How do you do that?" Sesshomaru asked as Inuyasha burst into the room then Kouga right after him.

"I learned it this morning." Kagome said and smiled. "Hold on a second." She said and walked out of the study and down the hall.

"JAKEN!!" the three guys' heard Kagome yell.

"Take care of young Rin and Shippou. Miroku, Sango follow me." She said and then re-entered the study with Sango and Miroku minutes later.

"Okay what was that about?" Sesshomaru asked.

"All right well every one here except Kouga and Inuyasha knows of the war. Miroku, Sango, Kouga, Inuyasha, and myself will be the main defense for the castle. You can leave some guards if you want Sesshomaru but the won't be needed." Kagome said and got very strange looks from Kouga and Inuyasha.

"I won't defend anything that belongs to him!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha it belongs to him but if anything happens to him it's your land. Then you have to defend it all the time." Kagome said in a mater of fact way.

"I agree with Kagome I don't want dog turd here to be lord of the western lands. He's too stupid." Kouga said.

"I'll stay and fight but not for Sesshomaru. Just to prove I'm not stupid." Inuyasha said as he glared at Kouga.

"What ever you'll be taking orders from me got it you two. No I want to do this. It's I listen to Kagome's orders!" Kagome said.

"I'll not follow a woman's orders in battle." Kouga said.

"Neither will I!" Inuyasha said.

"Oh yes you will" Kagome said grabbing both their ears. "Wanta try me!" Kagome asked in a kind of threatening way.

"Nope!" Kouga and Inuyasha both said.

"Good." Kagome said and released their ears.

"Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru!!" some one yelled out side in the main hall of the castle.

"What?" Kagome asked as she opened the door to the study and Sesshomaru appeared behind her.

"He was on the front line." Sesshomaru said quickly before leaving the room and walking quickly over to the very beat up demon.

"Lord Sesshomaru forgive us but the advancing eastern and Southern force was to great. Our defense has fell back to a village near a creak but the advance has stopped for now." the demon said.

"Oh great it's already started. Go to the Northern Lord and ask him again to align with the western lands. Now go." Sesshomaru said then followed the demon out.

"And where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha asked.

"To the front lines. That's my place as where Kagome's is the castle and every thing around it." Sesshomaru said then continued walking.

"Wait Sesshomaru take these with you. You can look over them and use them. I can pretty well say the other two lords haven't seen these tactics." Kagome said running up to Sesshomaru with several papers in her hand.

"What did you do Kagome look up tactics from your time?" Sango asked.

"Yes actually I did." Kagome said and smiled back at Sango.

"You time?" Sesshomaru said confused.

"Yes my time. I'm not from this time. I'll explain it later." Kagome said and smiled at Sesshomaru. Then he walked out side the castle.

"Oh hey Sesshomaru send back a messenger every day to say how the front line is doing. That way I know how much time I have to train the guy's." Kagome said as she ran out after him.

"I intend to send a messenger every day." Sesshomaru said then took to the sky.

Up In The North Several Hours Later!

"I have already given my answer to Lord Sesshomaru. The north will remain neutral. I will not get my forces involved in this." The northern lord said.

"But great lord of the north it's two against one. We have started no fights we have been attacked by the East and the South for no reason and you say you will not help." Sesshomaru's guard said.

"Correct I will not help the western side nor the east and southern side of this conflicted." The northern lord said.

"The north usually helps the West do you think the people that you're father lead will be pleased to hear that you will not get involved even though the west has asked on several occasions." Sesshomaru's guard said.

"I will not repeat my father's stupidity. I will not align with the west. Now get out of my castle before I have you killed." The lord of the north said.

"Child." Sesshomaru's guard said to himself about the new lord of the north.

"If you think for one moment that the eastern and southern alliance will end with the west's defeat you are wrong and foolish." The guard said louder then necessary, just before he left the royal room.

"My lord the boy is right they will not let us stay out of this forever." One of the lord's closest advisers said.

"I will not be like my father. I will not get involved as long as possible. If that means after the west's defeat so be it." The northern lord said.

"The west is our greatest ally. You can not turn your back on him. Cause if you do, he'll never help you." His adviser said.

"My father got involved with every little skirmish the west had with the other two lands. He got a lot of our people killed for no reason. I will not do that." The lord said stubbornly.

"Son listen here. If you do not help the west, they will win by the way, the east and west will turn their attention to this land. Once that happens Lord Sesshomaru will turn his back to you just as you have him. That will have so much unnecessary death way more then would die now. You will be begging for his help and or guidance and he will not give it." The new lord's mother said.

"I shall think about it mother." The young lord said.

"Good but don't take too long or you will lose all support from the west." His mother said.

Back In The Western Lands!

"Lady Kagome. Our front line keeps falling back. Lord Sesshomaru say's to be ready for an attack at anytime from any side. If this keep's up Lady Kagome our front line will be the castle." A guard said.

"And how is Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked.

"He's been wounded on several occasions but refuses to leave the front line to heal. He keep's saying he must keep the advancing forces away from you Lady Kagome." The guard said.

"Tell him he can't fight if he so damn wounded he can't do any thing with out hurting somewhere. And that we are ready if any thing attacks this castle." Kagome said then noticed the door burst open.

"Lady Kagome the north remains neutral. They will not help either side." The guard Sesshomaru had sent to the Northern Lands several days ago said.

"Well I guess we're on our own then. Better this way then three against one don't you agree." Kagome said.

"Yes Lady Kagome." The two guards said.

"Well go report back to Sesshomaru both of you!" Kagome said then walked out of the dinning room with the two guards behind her heading for the main door.

"Kagome-chan where is Sesshomaru-sama and what is going on?" Rin asked.

"Nothing is wrong Rin Sesshomaru-sama will be back in a little while." Kagome said.

"Today?" Rin asked hopefully.

"No not today. He'll be back soon. Just stay in the castle Rin. Shippou make sure she stay's in the castle." Kagome said and Shippou nodded.

"Rin knows to stay in the castle. Rin don't need a body guard Kagome-chan." Rin said.

"I know Rin but see it this way you have to make sure he stay's in the castle too. So you are like brother/sister. You look out for each other." Kagome said sweetly to the child.

"Rin likes having an older brother. Can he be Rin's older brother forever?" Rin asked.

"Yes he can Rin. He'll be you're older brother forever. Right Shippou!" Kagome said.

"Yeah I like having a younger sister." Shippou said happily.

"Kagome we need your help out side!!" Sango yelled running into the main hall of the castle.

"Stay in the castle you two." Kagome said in a rushed manner as she ran out of the castle's main doors.
