Chapter Seven

Please forgive me for the sorrow, for leaving you in fear. For the dreams we had to silence, that's all they'll ever be. Still I'll be the hand that serves you though you'll not see that it is me

Hand of Sorrow, Within Temptation

It wasn�t true!

Shippo hurried through the streets before running into the apartment building. Deciding that the elevator was too slow, the five hundred year old fox demon darted up the stairs and ran to one of the apartments. Pounding on the door, he began frantically calling for Kagome.

After what seemed like eternity, the door opened revealing the very woman he wanted to see. His green eyes wandered over her body, staring at the scars that adorned her body as if he were seeing the sun for the very first time. �Shippo, what�s wrong?� Kagome questioned, her voice gentle as she pulled the fox demon into the apartment.

Shippo wrapped his arms around his foster mother, wanting to be comforted in the same way that she had comforted him as a child. Clearly understanding what he wanted, Kagome wrapped her arms around him and held his head close to her breast. �You didn�t leave because you wanted to.� Shippo said weakly as Kagome led him over to her leather couch. �They said that you had left because you didn�t want to stay with us. Then a demon had attacked you.�

Pain shot through the miko�s heart as she stroked Shippo�s hair. �No, baby, that�s not entirely true. I wanted to stay with you guys so much, but they didn�t want me to stay.� Kagome explained. �I know that you�ll understand now why I was forced to leave.�

�It didn�t matter to me if you had a hanyou sibling or not!� Shippo protested. �You were my momma then and you�re still my momma.�

Kagome tightened her grip on the kitsune and sighed, her heart aching. �I know, but you have to remember some of the beliefs from then.� Kagome explained. �They thought they were helping me.�

Tears gathered in Shippo�s eyes as he looked at his foster mother, pain reflecting clearly in his green depths. �How exactly was what Inuyasha and Sesshomaru did to you helping?� Shippo demanded. �How was Sango and Miroku hitting you helping?�

Dear Goddess, she was going to make excuses for them. �Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were acting on their own pain.� Kagome explained gently. �Two hundred years before then, when their father was still alive, Sesshomaru had loved Hitomi very much. After Inutaisho�s death, Sesshomaru blamed my sister and grew to hate her. When he discovered that Hitomi is my elder sister, I assume that the knowledge tore the scab off.�

�So why did Inuyasha��

�I don�t know. Maybe because he blamed me for Kikyo�s death.�

Shippo stared as he struggled to listen to the miko�s words. She was still hurting from their betrayal and was clearly still angry at them, but she sounded as if she were defeated. �I want to hear your side of it, Momma.� Shippo said finally. �I want to hear all of it.�

Sighing, Kagome nodded slightly. Her little boy wasn�t a little boy anymore. He deserved to know the truth about that horrible night five years ago and what she had done in retaliation.

Whether or not he chose to forgive her or the others was entirely his choice. She just prayed that he chose to forgive.
�Again!�

Kagome smiled as she watched the twins play with Shippo. Both children were clearly pleased that their older brother had come to play with them and had found a way to entertain them. �So they decided to fess up, huh?� Haku questioned, his voice low.

�I guess. Shippo was pretty upset about the whole thing.� Kagome answered softly before looking at her elder brother. �Brother, do you know why Sister chose to involve Rin?�

Haku sighed as he looked at his sister before looking out into the living room. �You know that she became pregnant before her attack and that when her daughter was only a month old, suddenly passed away.�

�I know that. She named me after her daughter.�

�Hitomi couldn�t bear to let Sesshomaru escape and when she realized that he had taken in a human and was raising her as his own, she was determined to make him suffer.�

Kagome�s eyes fell as she brushed her hand against her brother�s arm. �By granting Rin a demon�s lifespan, she was ensuring that Sesshomaru would return to her?� Kagome questioned softly.

�Yes.�

�Stupid bitch.�

She smiled when she heard Shippo laughter before hearing, �Hey, I�m gonna get a drink of water. You kids are making me thirsty.�

�No! Play more!� Selena Rose shouted.

There was a thump as the twins tackled their older brother before grinning at him. �Ah, I�m being attacked. Oh, what shall become of this poor demon?� Shippo said dramatically.

Kagome laughed as she entered the living room, her eyes dancing slightly. �Oh dear, it seems like we have two half demons ganging up on one full demon.� Kagome said with mock surprise. �I wonder what should be done.�

�Momma� they�re killing me.� Shippo said with a small grin.

�Oh, dear. Then maybe I should��

The miko trailed off and started tickling the two five year olds before moving in to tickle Shippo. The demon grinned and winked to his younger siblings before they �attacked� their mother. �Ah, no!� Kagome pretended to be afraid of the three as she moved to tickle them.

Haku smirked as he watched the scene before him, an idea crossing his mind. Grabbing his video camera, he began recording the whole event.
�Sesshomaru-sama, this just arrived in the mail for you.�

Sesshomaru took the tape from his maid�s hands before excusing her. As he eyed the label, he could see Kagome and Kosuke�s restaurant was labeled as the return address. Heh, so they had been blessed with something from the family, huh? That was surely the first time they had ever done something. He wondered what exactly the miko wanted now.

Calling his brother and his brother�s friends, the demon got the DVD ready to play. Once they were gathered, he began the DVD.

Surprise crossed their features as they watched the miko playing with Shippo and the twins, her eyes showing that she wasn�t truly as dead as they had believed. �Brother, what are you doing?� Kagome questioned through her laughs.

�I�m recording this. I want to make it a movie.� Came an obvious reply. So Haku was the one behind the camera and possibly behind the delivery.

Kagome playfully flipped Shippo away from her before Amaranth jumped her from behind, pushing her torso forward. �Why? This isn�t anything different than what we do anyway since you and Onee-sama are determined to make sure that my children will be able to fend for themselves as soon as possible.� Kagome told him as she playfully flipped the five year old boy onto her lap. �One! Two!�

Amaranth laughed as he rolled off of his mother�s lap before shouting, �Avenge me!�

Selena Rose laughed and nodded as she tackled the miko, squealing with excitement as she was flipped over her mother�s shoulders. �Now I could have sworn that a little girl attacked me.� Kagome said with a thoughtful look as she started inspecting the little girl�s feet. �Now, what could these be?�

It was amazing. The group was silent as they watched the miko play with her three children, quickly switching her methods to suit her fully grown child to suit her two little ones. Her eyes, so cold and hateful towards them, soft and loving to her children.

When had she last laughed like that? Wasn�t it shortly before they had attempted to kill her? Unable to stand it anymore, Inuyasha got up and left the room.

�Inuyasha!�

Inuyasha crouched down low before pouncing, attacking the youkai that had turned towards Kagome. Shaking, the miko had called for him before turning her body to shield Shippo from harm.

Stupid girl, couldn�t she see that she had done something that would have gotten her killed if he hadn�t been around? Of course, he couldn�t have gotten too mad at her since the instinct of any female was to protect a child from harm. �What in the hell are you going to do if I�m not around?� Inuyasha demanded once the youkai was dead.

Kagome looked up at him simply before cuddling Shippo against her chest. �I�ll develop a survival instinct.� Kagome answered simply.

And she had developed a survival instinct. She had grown from a weak minded girl to a woman that could get anything she wanted with a mere snap of a finger. While she had fought before for anything that she wanted, she no longer had to even lift a finger. All she needed to do now was to simply tell somebody what it was that she wanted and in a short time it�d be hers.

Inuyasha was silent as he walked, thinking about what Sesshomaru had once told him. Their mother, Akihana, had been quite a beauty herself while alive. Her mate had perished in some battle, leaving her to raise her two young children by herself.

Despite the problems that constantly arose, Akihana had raised her children to be quite proud and honorable. Haku never struck a woman in anger and was quite loyal to those he viewed as worthy while Hitomi had perfected her talents of manipulation.

Then after Inutaisho�s death the three had vanished without a trace. Rumors whispered that they were in the demon world at one point in time while other rumors whispered that they were traveling the world.

If the amount of culture that the small family had demonstrated was anything to go by, the family had done both. Then after five hundred years, Akihana had birthed a son sired by a taijiya that sought to relieve his family of the curse she had placed upon them five centuries ago.

Three short months after her son�s birth, Kagome had been born. Named after her sister�s deceased daughter, the miko had known hate and felt the pain of being shunned. She had felt hate towards her own mother for not protecting her when the demons that surrounded her did. She had feared her own kind enough to find refuge and safety within the demon community.

Inuyasha threw himself onto his bed and rolled onto his back. As he stared up at the ceiling, he remembered one of the many songs that Kagome had sung to Shippo. One of the songs had been the last one that she had ever sung to him and one of the lines had sounded as if she were pouring her own regret into it.

She had known that they were going to betray her. Instead of running away when they had least suspected her to, she had remained and had gone with them moments before they betrayed her. She could have killed them and pretended that she had no clue as to what happened, but she had endured everything in silence. It had been only when her mind snapped did she surrender and allow herself to lash out at them.

Sighing, the hanyou began thinking about how he was ever going to make up to the miko and her family. Once a thought came to his mind, Inuyasha picked up the phone and dialed a number. �Hello, is Kagome there?�
