Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Revenge ❯ Chapter Nine ( Chapter 9 )

What is the story that Kagome is going to tell? Will Hiei find out Sesshoumaru's relation to Kagome? What is Muso planning?

“He was reabsorbed before Miroku and Inuyasha's eyes, and might have been released again when Naraku discarded his heart in Mt. Hakurei.”

 

“I thought that Akago was his heart?” questioned Kagura in an unsure voice.

 

“And he was, Naraku's heart,” Kagome said ever so softly.

 

“You have a theory?” asked Sesshoumaru.

 

Kagome nodded, allowing her dark locks to fall into her face. “In my opinion, something happened when Naraku was recreating his body, something that he wasn't expecting. I think that maybe he split his heart in half.”

 

“In half?” asked Kagura.

 

She nodded, “yes, into a demon heart and a human heart; though I think that maybe his human heart was contaminated and contains demon essence. I think that Muso is actually Onigumo, but without his full memories.”

 

“So Naraku gave birth to two hearts that day,” Sesshoumaru mused.

 

“That is merely my opinion.”

“Where have you been?” questioned Hiei as he dropped down behind Kagome after she had just walked back into her room.

 

“Talking to Sesshou,” was her easy response as she yawned.

 

“What about?”

 

Kagome's eyes narrowed as she set her son down in the crib that was provided for her. “Why so curious all of a sudden? Are you jealous?”

 

“Hn.”

 

“You have no need to be jealous, but I won't be saying anymore. Whatever there is between Sesshoumaru and I is private, as is what we discussed.”

 

Now Hiei's eyes narrowed as he looked upon the mother of his child. “If you are to be my mate, then you will need to be honest with me and answer my questions so we won't be keeping secrets.”

 

Kagome saw red as her aura flared wildly, it took several minutes before she could force it recede. As she turned to face him, she noticed that her suitor was tensed. “As of the moment, we are not mates and you have yet to gain permission to even court me.” Ryuujin started fussing as his eyes snapped open and he began reaching for his mother. “And as for the not being mates yet, that means that I don't have to share anything with you that I don't want to.”

 

“You are to share now so that we can show trust in each other.”

 

“Show trust?” the girl questioned as she glared at him and picked up her son. “You expect me to show trust in you when you don't show the same to me?”

 

“What do you mean?” asked Hiei as he looked at her with narrowed eyes.

 

“You were jealous of Sesshou hugging me, not to mention that you were just jealous of the fact that I was talking with him just moments ago.”

 

“I am not jealous, ningen.”

 

That did it! First he was jealous, then he tried telling her what to do, next he denied his jealousy, and now he just called her a ningen. Fire seemed to be swirling around her form as she looked at him with cold eyes. “Vacate my room.”

 

“What?” he practically snapped.

 

“Leave, now.” Her words carried power and her eyes flashed as a barrier flared to life and forced the demon from her room. Tears started falling from her eyes as her temper cooled and she moved to her bed with her son.

“What did you do Hiei?” questioned Yusuke as he looked at the fire demon. “Kagome has barricaded herself in her room with Ryuujin and refuses to come out.”

 

Sesshoumaru, who was walking by, heard that and stepped into the room. “Is it to this Sesshoumaru's understanding that Kagome is upset because of something you did, hybrid?”

 

They all tensed as they felt the energy that was coming off of the demon lord in waves. “I did nothing.”

 

“This Sesshoumaru will find out,” and with that he turned and left the room, heading straight for the miko's room.

 

Knowing that, the boys all started following him. Kurama was the one to speak as they approached the barrier, “how do you plan on speaking with her when she won't let down the barrier?”

 

“Kagome's barrier shall not impede this Sesshoumaru's intentions,” and just as he said that he walked in through the barrier as if there was nothing there. “What happened imouto?”

 

The sight he saw was the miko lying on her bed with Ryuujin in her arms, crying. “I'm not an object.”

 

Sesshoumaru gave an uncharacteristic sigh as he sat down on the bed and began gently patting her back. “The hybrid has a right to claim you as he has placed a courting mark upon you.”

 

She shook her head at that and hugged her son closer to her side, “that's not what he did. If that was it I could understand it. He doesn't trust me and he called me ningen.”

 

That let the demon lord know exactly what was wrong. When they were together back in the feudal era, Inuyasha seemed to call her almost everything except her name. By doing so, he demeaned the miko a lot and made her feel inferior unless her name was used. “I shall have a talk with him if you wish.”

 

At that the miko shook her head, “can you remove the courting mark?”

 

“Do you really wish me to, imouto?”

 

“I want this done properly, he is my choice, but he needs to have your permission.”

 

“Then hai, I can remove it.”

It was shortly after their talk that Sesshoumaru stepped from the room and called for a servant. A female kitsune appeared and entered the room with some sort of magic cloaking her. Inside the room, the kitsune smiled as she looked at the miko. “Welcome home Kagome-sama, it a pleasure seeing you once again.”

 

“Kari?” the miko questioned.

 

“Hai, it's been a long time my lady.”

 

Kagome smiled at that, “so you work here at the palace?”

 

“Sesshoumaru-sama offered me sanctuary here from the hardships of the Makai if I worked for him. He told me that once you returned I would become your personal servant.”

 

“You are my lady in waiting?”

 

“Hai, and it's time to dress you now, my lady.” And with a smile the two girls began sifting through the many waiting silks that the fox demon had placed in a magic bag.

After an hour of waiting, Kagome stepped from within her room dressed in a fine silk of midnight blue with silver crescents embroidered into it. Around her neck was an indigo crescent and in her arms was her son dressed in black with little blue crescents covering his outfit. Hiei was shocked as soon as she stepped from her room, as he no longer felt the presence of his mark upon her. “What did you do?”

 

Before Hiei could step close to her, Sesshoumaru stepped between them, “you will address that which belongs to this Sesshoumaru properly.”
