InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Young Love ❯ Year 6 ( Chapter 8 )

[ A - All Readers ]

Year 6

"Milord, Rin has completed her studies. But she has regressed in some ways. She refuses to dress properly, she has stopped using her etiquette training, and I am not sure how to help her. It seems like willful disobedience but she will admit to it" The sensei told Sesshomaru.

"Give her more time; she has taken the betrayal very personally" Kagura tried but he shushed her.

"There is a ningen village on the outskirts of the Western Lands. They owe this Sesshomaru for saving their villa. Send her there to live, until she can prove herself worthy of this life again" Sesshomaru ordered. The guards went straight to Rin's room.

"Rin-sama, our lord demands you leave the Western Castle at once. You are to remain in a human village until you have learned your lesson. Come along" One said. Rin did not object, she left behind her combs and her royal status robes. All she had with her was the few robes Ayami loaned her from the servants' quarters. She did not want to stand out in the ningen village much. They escorted her a day and a half's trip to the ningen village.

"Welcome Rin-sama, we are so grateful to have you here. Lord Sesshomaru has paid us greatly for your care" Yura said.

"Please, just call me Rin. I am not of royalty anymore. I just want to be normal here" Rin told her but she did not listen. Yura told all that would hear that Rin was under Lord Sesshomaru's protection and was not to be messed with. It was a lonely existence, especially for the girl who would never get word if Shippo came to get her.

"Hello Rin, how are you?" Kagura asked; she ignored the whispers of the humans and the stares from the children in the village.

"I am fine, you?" Rin asked.

"I was worried you were miserable here. I mean I know you're human too but you just aren't the same as these ones" Kagura said.

"I am perfectly well, and now I am treated like royalty. This life is better than the one I had before" Rin lied; Kagura could smell it on her but she did not comment.

"I am glad you are well; I have business to attend to back home so I'll be living now" Kagura said,

"Good bye Kagura" Rin said. Kagura flew away on her feather leaving Rin alone once again.

In Inuyasha's Village

"We can't do this just for Shippo, what about our lives?" Inuyasha asked.

"He is our son! If he wants to move onto the Western Lands so he can learn more about Sesshomaru and Rin, then we should do it. By taking this trip, we can see Sango and Miroku again. We can also visit Kouga and we can help him find his love. Why not do it?" Kagome asked.

"You're 4 months pregnant, and Mayumi is too young to defend herself. I can't protect all of us, ya know" Inuyasha snapped.

"I have my powers, and Shippo can fight to. 3 adults can protect themselves and 2 kids" Kagome argued but Inuyasha wasn't having it.

"Where is everyone supposed to ride? Shippo can fly with his little fox magic, I can run but you can only waddle. And Mayumi is too young to keep up" Inuyasha questioned.

"Shippo can carry Mayumi and you'll carry me" Kagome said sure of her answer.

"What about your stomach? You can't press up against me" Inuyasha said.

"Don't worry about my stomach, it won't kill the baby. We leave tomorrow Inuyasha, whether or not you come is your choice" Kagome said, getting up and moving to the nursery. IT wasn't really a nursery, but its where little Mayumi slept.

"Are we really moving for uncle Shippo, mama?" Mayumi asked.

"Yes, Shippo needs his family and we're gonna be there for him. Now get some rest" Kagome gave her a kiss on the forehead and tucked her in.

"Alright mama" Mayumi yawned, showing off her baby fangs and then went to sleep.

"You guys don't have to go. I can do it alone you know. I'm an adult now" Shippo tried but Kagome shot it down.

"I'm not going to let you go off and be killed by Sesshomaru; I will protect you even if it hurts me" Kagome said fiercely. She had grown to love and cherish Shippo as her own and although he was now a fully mature demon, she did not trust him to survive on his own.

"Fine mama, but tell Inuyasha that. Cuz he's pretty upset" Shippo said, getting up.

"Ignore him, he loves me and he will do as I ask or be alone" Kagome said firmly. She loved her mate with all her heart but she felt this was something she had to do for her baby boy.
