Asami shooked her head as Akeno held the struggling hanyou. "Calm down." She forgot that he couldn't hear anything. Focusing her aura she reversed what Souta did. "Next time, you have to remember not to let go, Souta." Inuyasha's hearing returned with a pop as his ears appeared just as suddenly as they'd disappeared. "He wouldn't stay still," Souta grouched as he sulked in the background. "I just wanted to see what it'd be like to have ears like his." "You expect me to stay still while you experiment on me!" Inuyasha shouted. These people are crazy! "Well, Souta did tell you that it wouldn't hurt," Asami said. Honestly, it's like having another son. "You didn't feel a thing now did you?" Inuyasha muttered something under his breath. I made Akeno tighten his hold. "Watch your mouth," he said just as Asami spoke. "Hmm, what was that?" "No, okay. I didn't feel a thing," Inuyasha huffed angrily and shot them murderous glances. Asami and Akeno laughed as Akeno let Inuyasha go. Immediately, Souta launched after him again only to be stopped when Akeno grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "Souta you're not off the hook," he said as he dragged him backwards. "Even though Inuyasha said no, you attempted to switch ears anyways. If it weren't for your mother, he'd be earless for weeks." "What!" Inuyasha shouted. I've gotta get away from these freaks. And he made to do just that but his path was blocked by Asami. "Now calm down Inuyasha. If you don't relax and behave, we'll have to be a little stricter with you," she spoke in a soft and soothing tone. Despite her tone, the words still brought Inuyasha's mind back to the situation at hand. It reminded him that even though they were treating him like family he was still a prisoner. He was still being taken to Kagome to be properly tried for his treason. But she'll kill me this time. FlashBack "You! This is all your fault! Damn you and your clay doll! Because of you Shippo might die!" Inuyasha had frozen to the spot. He'd never seen Kagome like this. He took one step forward to try to speak reason into her. "Don't you dare take another step. From this moment on I will not hesitate to strike you down if you anger me. Tell Kikyo I will strike her down the next time I see her. You Inuyasha are banned from this tachi." He could tell she was serious. He heard a pained groan and as Kagome turned around he saw Shippo. Oh no. It's all my fault. End FlashBack Akeno sensed the shift in Inuyasha's aura and let go of Souta to approach him instead. They watched each other wearily each unsure of what the other would do. With Asami on one side and Akeno on the other Inuyasha had little options and was beginning to feel very much the caged animal. Akeno clapped a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder making him jump. "You must calm down. Everything will be just fine. Okay?" When Inuyasha nodded he let him go. Asami and Akeno turned their attention back to Souta who was hiding behind a tree an aura of nervousness about him. "Hmm, now how should we punish Souta?" (^_^) Let her see all of me? That was a strange concept to Sesshoumaru. He himself was just learning to be all of him in one. Yet, her words have merit. The miko hides nothing of herself. She is open showing all characteristics of herself. In this way I have no doubt in her as a person and my future mate. He loved the idea that he need not worry about deceit coming from her. He loved that he knew her faults and gifts beforehand. In her openness she'd proven herself an excellent mother, ally and future mate. Perhaps, I too should allow her to bear witness to all that is me. If there is any that can accept me it is the tenshi Kagome. He watched as Natsu returned with an unconscious Jaken. Natsu was glad to see her friend contemplating her words. "Remember to simply follow your heart and you will do fine." She laughed when Sesshoumaru looked at her as if she sprouted four heads. "Ha, you're not dealing with a mere female youkai or even an inu bitch. You're dealing with the shikon miko who uses her heart first and foremost in all things. Is it not right that you do the same yourself? How else are you to truly win her?" While he thought on that Natsu woke Jaken. She had to wave her hand in front of Sesshoumaru's face several times before he blinked out of his thoughts and began to walk. Eventually the trio came into contact with Shiro. "Report," came Sesshoumaru's relatively new voice. His baritone had a growling undertone that was just barely noticeable. There was emotion to his voice although none could pin point exactly what I t was. Shiro stared him wide eyed before snapping to his senses. "The miko and her pack disappeared with the forest mid morning, but shortly before this one's departure to report her aura was felt washing over the land. The miko is in excellent condition. We assume that the pack is also whole and well as there was no distress to her aura," Shiro reported. He waited for his lords reaction as the realization that Sesshoumaru and his beast had merged danced around his mind. "Hn, you are dismissed." Shiro got up and bowed before using fox magic to fade into the woodland shadows to quickly get back to his charge. Once he was gone Sesshoumaru turned to Natsu and Jaken. Jaken cowered as Natsu settled into her own solemn expression. Her expression would never equal the regal serious air Sesshoumaru's held. "It would seem that the miko has gone somewhere with a barrier that selectively allows entry. What should we do milord?" She kept her tone as regal as possible. The look on his face said that he was about to do some serious planning. "We can assume that they are safe for now. I believe it is possible that they may have encountered other miko. As such our plans are not changed." (^_^) Kagome and Sango followed Demiyah to the hot springs. They spoke no words, but it was far from silent as their souls resonated with the sounds of nature. "So Sango, you and Miroku right? Care to spare some details to your sister?" She smiled slyly as Sango blushed a bright red. "Well, I don't know. It kind of just happened. One of the slayers stuck to me even when everyone else went off. He was quite young and handsome. He offered to show me around the village and I accepted. He started complimenting me and I didn't think anything of it until the comments became downright flirtatious. Until then I'd been as polite as possible. When he did that I got nervous and tried to excuse myself, but he was really persistent. Miroku came out of a hut and saw him kissing my hand and flirting with me and challenged the man." She blushed harder then as she took a breath to continue her story. "The man kept goading Miroku on and well I couldn't help myself. I started flirting back. Miroku pulled me away and pushed me behind him. The guy just laughed and winked at me. That's when I understood what he was trying to do. He was pushing us together. Miroku took the wink the wrong way and lunged at him." Sango paused and eyed Demiyah suspisciously. She continued her story in a hushed tone. "Kagome, these people aren't human. The way that man moved, it just wasn't natural. He was too fast, too strong, too agile. It was like Miroku was fighting a youkai, but one that was immune to reiki. I got scared for Miroku and stood between them and he kept coming at us. Miroku stood and grabbed me. I thought he really meant us harm then, but he suddenly just stopped and left us there. We were so relieved and one thing led to another and well… you know the rest." Kagome gave a low whistle. "I leave you guys for a few hours and you guys live out a romance novel. But I'm happy for you none the less Sango, and quite honestly it's about time," Kagome sighed happily. They'd finally arrived at the hot springs and were quick to get in the water. They all let out relieved sighs. "This is great," Sango nearly moaned. "Mhmmm," Kagome agreed as she and Demiyah looked over their bruises. Satisfied that neither of them had anything serious they relaxed and let their minds wander. It would seem that her pack is unaware of what she is. At least that's what it seems. The youkai may know, after all she has established that her Lord Sesshoumaru is in on it. "How fair your abilities as a healer Kagome?" Demiyah asked. "I can heal others but I can't healer myself," Kagome answered as she lay against the side of the spring, her head laying back and her eyes closed. "That is strange." Kagome shrugged. "Kaede found it strange that I could heal in that sense period. She taught me as best she could." "Hmm, our next lesson will have to involve healing. Remember, we are creatures of balance. While it is excellent that you can fight, you shouldn't focus too much on simply your destructive abilities. You also shouldn't focus too much on your creating abilities," Demiyah explained. The women were suddenly of young Rin standing by the spring. "Would you like to join us Rin?" The little girl gave a great bobbing nod before stripping and getting in to make her way towards Kagome. The look the little girls face said she had something important on her mind. The other women quickly caught on and made polite inconspicuous exits. When the others were gone Kagome looked into Rin's face and drew the girl into her arms. Kagome ran her fingers through Rin's hair as she waited patiently for her to speak her mind. "Shippo is a really good brother. He's fun and he teaches me stuff and he's protective." Rin dipped her hand in the water and took it out to watch the drops make rings in the pool. "Mhmm," Kagome said to get the girl to continue. "Rin, never had a brother before. Rin used to have a mama and papa, but Rin can't remember them. Sesshoumaru-sama is what Rin thinks a papa should be and Kagome-sama is what a mama should be. Rin would very much like a mama please," she said softly as he shoulders shook. Kagome turned the small girl around and saw tears running from big pleading eyes. Kagome held her close as she rubbed her back. "I think you'd be an amazing daughter Rin." Kagome kissed her forehead as her tears continued to run down her cheeks. "I love you so much already and I know I'll just love you more as time goes on." "Thank you, mama," Rin sniffled as she cried her heart out. (^_^) Kikyo sat alone in a clearing as her soul collectors replenished her body. Renjiro had long left as his lord was now barely a day's travel from the dead priestess. He returned to his castle and Natsu decided to travel on her own saying that she'd eventually meet with her lord's pack. Kikyo was startled when she felt an immense demonic aura enter the area. Lord Sesshoumaru. She had her soul collectors carry her away. He felt aggressive and seemed to have ill intent toward her. She knew she was in no condition to take on the lord of the west in the state he was in. Kikyo had heard rumors that he'd been travelling with Kagome's pack but he was the only she could sense. They must have separated. I wonder why. And why is he after me? She couldn't think of anything that would explain his ill intent toward her. She knew he held a certain level of disdain toward everyone period and for her it was more so because of her relations with his hanyou half-brother and because she was a living corpse. She avoided being around him so that she wouldn't offend him more than her mere existence already has, but now he was hunting her and she didn't know what to do. Sesshoumaru was primed for this hunt. He was doing this for his miko and refused to fail. He would much rather have been chasing Kagome but that would have to wait. He focused on the scent of clay and grave yard soil and realized that she'd taken to the air. He kept to the ground and decided to wait until she was quite a ways away before shielding his aura. He'd let her think she'd gotten away while he tracked her. He knew he was playing with his food, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Then he got an idea. Hn, we should cross pathes with the pack. He contemplated at the possible results. He could easily move from one chase to another. He wouldn't have to endure the stench of travelling with the dead priestess. Kagome would be there to witness his victory. The possibilities were endless and they only seemed to be getting better. Finally he sensed that Kikyo had landed and while she was cautious she was no longer fearful. Waiting for her to relax a little more, he decided against showing himself content to simply flare his aura. He smirked as he scented her fear and she took to the skies again. (^_^) While Kagome was sad to leave the village of miko, she was glad that her children were happy now. She laughed as Rin cheered about being able to zap some youkai soon. Kagome now had another reason to become better at being a miko. Kagome wanted to be the best teacher Rin could ever have. In the early morning sunlight she could see a tachi headed their way across the plains and paid no mind to it. She was too busy explaining to Rin how to let her aura feed off of nature. Too late she realized who it was that was headed toward her as she felt the grudgingly familiar aura of Inuyasha. She was primed for a fight. "Sango! Miroku! Protect the kids," she ordered amazed out easily she slipped into the role of alpha. "Rin and Shippo get on Ah-Un and stay close to Sango and Miroku." With the pack prepared she turned to face the oncoming pack as she recalled the day she sent Inuyasha away. FLASHBACK "Hey! Why didn't you wait for me?" Inuyasha busted in. Kagome who had been absolutely still and silent shot up with her bow and arrow aimed at him. Her eyes were on fire and her voice dripped venom. The pain she felt inside was felt by all as they felt the rage it fed. "You! This is all your fault! Damn you and your clay doll! Because of you Shippo might die!" Inuyasha had frozen to the spot. He'd never seen Kagome like this. He took one step forward to try to speak reason into her. Kagome narrowed her eyes at the movement and snarled mentally. "Don't you dare take another step. From this moment on I will not hesitate to strike you down if you anger me. Tell Kikyo I will strike her down the next time I see her. You Inuyasha are banned from this tachi." END FLASHBACK Kagome however was not ready to see who exactly it was that he was travelling with. She was shocked to see the woman who'd played the role of her mother all her life and Souta. Kagome also had an ever increasing terror filling her as she suspected the young man holding Asami so tightly was her none other than the man that played the role of her grandfather, Akeno Higurashi. She couldn't move. Pain racked her aura and froze her body as she looked at them. When Inuyasha spoke she snapped out of it. "Kagome," was all he got out before he had to dodge an attack. His eyes widened as he watched Kagome straighten from her crouch holding the sword she'd borrowed from Sango. He knew better than to try and speak reason to her as she lunged for him mindlessly in her rage. "I told you I never wanted to see you again," she shouted as she slashed the sword barely catching his sleeve. Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga to block her attack. He refused to do more than block as she continued to attack. However her family had had enough of watching this. Instantly Souta was there protecting Inuyasha and drawing him away from the fight as Asami and Akeno held Kagome. "Shh, sweetie," Asami cooed. "Remember me, it's Asami. Calm down, sweetheart. I know what he did was horrible but this isn't the way to handle this and deep down inside you know it." "Come on. Calm down," Akeno coaxed. "You know she's right." They held the struggling Kagome until she exhausted herself. She slumped to the ground when they let her go. "You!" She shouted as she looked at Inuyasha with anger and pain evident in her eyes. "You will pay." "That's why we brought him to you, sweetie," Asami said as she bent down to wrap her arms around Kagome. "You people. Who are you really," she said in an accusatory tone. "No lies or you won't be able to stop me when I find the truth." Asami, Akeno, and Souta moved to stand in front of her then. "I am, Asami Higurashi, sister to your mother, fourth in command to the Higurashi clan, and your aunt. You have known me as mother," she said with a curtsey. "I am, Akeno Higurashi, brother by mating to your mother, third in command to the Higurashi clan, and your uncle. You have known me as grandfather," Akeno said with a bow. "I am, Souta Higurashi, son of Asami and Akeno Higurashi, and your cousin. You have known me as brother," Souta said with a bow. Kagome looked at each of them and nodded. "So you all knew about this from the beginning. You're the ones mama had protect me." "Actually, if you recall Souta was born while we were over there, if you would recall. Souta didn't know until we felt he was capable of understanding the situation," Akeno had spoken. Kagome nodded before her turning to Inuyasha. "You said you brought him to me so that he would pay, and yet you defended him. Why?" It was Souta who spoke next. "All that had been a part of the offense must be present for trial and the ruling should not be made without thought. The rules of balance must be paid attention to and the ruling be made accordingly. Oh and at least five members of the clan must be present." He stuck his tongue out at Kagome. Kagome stuck her tongue back out at him. "You need Kikyo and even with us here you need at least one more clan member," Akeno said softly as he wrapped his arm around Asami's waist. He was glad that he no longer had to hide anything. He and Asami took every opportunity to touch even in non-sexual ways. "Fine." Kagome turned and motioned for the others to start moving. She was having a hard time making her rage go away. As she walked she thought on Inuyasha. She knew that she was going to have to be fair and just no matter how she wished to just tear into him. Her rage boiled under the surface as the day continued on. While Inuyasha was on his best behavior him simply being there upset her. That night as everyone settled done to sleep, she punched a tree so hard it splintered and bent at an angle as she sensed two more auras that she really didn't want to see. As if on cue Kikyo flew over head as Sesshomaru appeared in the camp. Using his poison whip he pulled the corpse down from the sky. He left her in front of Kagome's feet wrapped in his poison whip like some sort of sacrifice. "An offering to you, my miko," he said in his cool baritone voice. Kagome's eyes moved from Kikyo to the handsome taiyoukai that haunted her soul. "Your what!" Inuyasha was shocked and slightly angered. Kagome glanced at him then as well. She glanced around at everyone and they could all see emotions running through her eyes at lightning speed. She couldn't take it anymore and ran off from camp without a word. The rage she felt at Inuyasha and Kikyo, at seeing them, at not being able to do anything to them. The hurt from remembering the lost friendship and how she'd almost lost her son because Inuyasha chose Kikyo above the pack. The confusion and lust and some other emotion that was just out of her conscious acknowledgement, that she felt towards Sesshomaru. She ran from it all as they beat down upon her aching soul. Back at camp Sesshomaru merely paused to get something out of Kagome's bag before going off after her. Inuyasha made to go after him but was stopped by Souta. "What the fuck is going on here?" Inuyasha shouted in his upset. Asami and Akeno set up a barrier around the camp. "Sesshomaru is about to become the official alpha of this pack," Asami spoke. Shippo and Rin smiled while Sango and Miroku were torn between confusion and happiness for their friend. Inuyasha was just plain upset. The Higurashi's went about doing things as if everything was perfectly normal. (^_^) In her clearing Kagome's mother smiled as she rubbed Hayate's arms. The pathes are finally crossing. Soon we'll be free.
