Chapter 3
The Ties That Bind
"Lino!" Kagome screamed in rage as she literally flew up the great number of stairs, two demons swiftly following after her. But Kagome took no notice of her invited guests, her only destination was to get to her ex-mate and get him away from her sons. When she reached the top of her stairs, she tore across a large open area headed directly toward the huge demon power. And suddenly he was right in front of her.
"My dear, Kagome, how nice it is to see you again, mate," he drawled out wickedly.
"Lino, how dare you show up here?!" Kagome yelled. It was then that she noticed the three unconscious bodies he held in his hands. Her eyes began to bleed red as she took in the surroundings. Her house was still standing, but the front door was torn off, looking like he had been searching for something. "Put...my...kits....down." She said in a deadly whisper right as Yoko and Kuronue caught up with her.
Both males landed beside her. "Kagome, are you all right?" Kuronue asked worriedly taking in the male demon in front of them. He was tall with aquamarine hair and emerald eyes. He also had silver kitsune ears and a tail with aqua tips.
Kagome didn't answer, she merely began growling in outrage as Lino tightened his hold on her kits. "Let them go, Lino!" she demanded again, ignoring her guests.
"Kagome, I see you've managed to replace me already, bitch." He nodded to the new demons.
"That isn't any busines of yours, even if it was true. You lost me a long time ago."
Kagome made a move to grab her children, but Lino backed up a few steps, waving his finger tauntingly. "Uh, uh uh, now is that any way to treat your mate."
"Mate?" Yoko asked roughly.
"Ex-mate. You lost that privilege when you decided to betray me, you bastard!" Kagome cried. "Now I will say this again. You will let my kids go now or I will skin you alive."
"Not a change until you give me what I want," Lino said seriously.
Kagome gasped before reaching in her vest and pulling out the jewel she had showed Yoko and Kuronue. Once again they were mesmerized by the jewel's power, wondering why it seemed so powerful. "You want it, fine, but not until you hand them over."
Lino seemed to be considering the possibility as he stood there pondering his decision. He began to smirk coldly and Kagome grew even more worried. "You know perhaps, I should keep our son, what do you think? I could make a great assassin out of the little runt." He held up a small golden haired kit with golden ears and a tail, with aqua tips.
"No!" Kagome cried, the desperation evident in her voice, as she lost her calm demeanor. Even Yoko and Kuronue were getting angry at the way the mal youkai was taunting her. She let out a shriek and began glowing a pure white color. Yoko and Kuronue had to shield their eyes as Kagome grew brighter and brighter until suddenly there was a burst of energy and her power rose dramatically. When they could finally see again, both youkai bandits were shocked at what they were seeing. There before them stood a totally demonized Kagome.
She was tall with glowing golden hair and silver eyes. She had golden ears and two soft golden tails all tipped in snow white. Her body was full and lean, not an ounce of fat on her, and an hour glass figure most people would kill to have. She had a soft face and a hauntingly beautiful, but deadly look in her eyes as she gazed coldly at her ex-mate. She began stepping boldly towards her ex-mate, her white tipped golden ears switching with anger, as the surprise was evident in his eyes. "You have just made a very bad move, Lino," she began speaking, her erotic voice sending shivers down everyone's spines. "For one, you attempted to hurt my children, in exchanged for the jewel. And when I think you can't stoop any lower, you threaten to take my son away from me and train him in your sickening position."
"Have you forgotten you were once like me, mate," Lino stated coldly growling slightly.
"Oh, no I haven't forgotten. How could I?" she asked glancing at her son that looked so much like him. "I'm reminded every damn day through his," she pointed to her son, "eyes. And that is precisely the reason I left, to give him a better life than the one we lead, to grow up in a world filled with kindness, laughter, and happiness. Not to be raised in the cruel and vicious, unforgiving world we grew up in. I left to give him innocent life and that is precisely what I am going to give him, because his father is too much of a coward, who went and threw his life away to what we could have had."
For a moment Lino looked a little saddened before his angry mask was placed back on his face. "Don't forget, my Kagome, that you are still mine, and you will be until one of us is dead," he whispered before dropping the three kits, including her son, and disappearing into a portal before she could attack him.
When he was gone Kagome raced to her kits and picked them up, sniffing them and examining them all for any injuries. They all appeared to be fine and Kagome gave a sigh of relief until she finally realized where she was and who was with her. Turning swiftly she boldly met both Kuronue and Yoko's questioning stares with an unblinking stare of her own. For a few minutes all three stood in stunned silence until Kagome finally sighed in exhaustion. "Okay, well I know you have some questions and I am willing to answer them," she began, watching as they nodded in agreement. "But I need to put my kits back to bed. Only then will I explain what just happened here."
"That's fine," Yoko said taking in her haggard appearance.
"Take all the time that you need," Kuronue agreed, noticing her saddened eyes and slumped shoulders.
She smiled gratefully and beckoned them to follow her into her house. "Come on. I'll show you two where you can rest for a little while."
A half hour later, a now humanoid Kagome walked back down her steps to spot Kuronue and Yoko lounging about in their youkai forms. Kagome paused at the top of the stairs to look them over. Yoko and Kuronue were both handsome and, Kagome speculated, very deadly. Yoko was a silver kitsune with soft silver ears and a silver tail which was now lying contentedly over his stomach for warmth. He was wearing a white outfit and white slippers. Kuronue was a bat youkai and Kagome had to admit she was really curious about him. The only bat demons she'd ever run into were in the Feudal Era and had been man eaters.
And of course, Shiori, the hanyou who was now one of her adopted kits. Kagome stepped fully into the room as she ahemed to get their attention. "So, are you guys hungry?" she asked when she had their attention.
At that moment a large rumbling was heard throughout the room and Kuronue and Kagome stared at Yoko who looked quite sheepish. Suddenly Kagome burst out laughing, followed by Kuronue, while Yoko scowled on the couch.
"Well, I guess Yoko's stomach answered for him," Kagome said chuckling slightly. "Come on, I'll show you guys the kitchen and I'll make us something to eat."
"FFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!" A childish, sudden excited voice made every one but Kagome jumped. She just sighed, watching the stairs and waiting for her kits to arrive. She'd hoped they'd sleep through the rest of the night, but knew that after that outburst none of them would. Sure enough, moments later three blurs made their way hungrily past their various bedrooms and flew to the top of the stairs. A little bat hanyou was the first to appear as she used her lilac wings to float down the stairs and land contentedly in her mother's arms.
Kuronue and Yoko were looking on with a mixture of amusement and bewilderment. Just how many kids did she have? Shiori burrowed into her mother's arms as two kits cam tearing out from two different rooms and instantly collided with each other. Kagome and Shiori started laughing as both kits began wrestling on the floor and accidentally began rolling down the stairs.
Yoko and Kuronue began laughing also as both boys collapsed in a pile at the bottom of the stairs. Shiori hid her face in her mother's breast as she giggled childishly at her brothers. One kitsune was lying upside down facing away from the stairs, the other kit was sitting up straight and rubbing his golden hair. Yoko and Kuronue immediately noticed that only one of the kits actually smelled like Kagome's real son. The kit in question was rubbing his golden head from the fall. He had golden ears with aqua tips and emerald colored eyes. His little tail was gold with an aqua tip. Suddenly the sounds of laughter reached the kit's ears as they finally realized there were two others in the room besides their mother.
"Hey, who are you?" The red-headed kit asked.
"Yoko, Kuronue, these are my three kits. Shiori," she nodded to the little bat hanyou in her arms who waved shyly, "Shippo," Kagome nodded to the auburn colored kit, "and Dante. Shiori and Shippo are adopted, while Dante is my biological son. Kids this is Yoko Kurama and Kuronue. They're from the Makai and I offered to let them stay here for awhile."
Shippo immediately ran over to Yoko and began inspecting him, jumping on his shoulder and sniffing around. Shiori peeked curiously at Kuronue sensing another bat youkai, but when he looked at her she merely smiled shyly and hid her face back in Kagome's neck, missing the small amused smile of Kuronue. Dante, however, stood glaring slightly at Yoko and Kuronue from his mother's side. While Yoko and Kuronue took no notice of this, Kagome sure did and had a feeling Dante was planning something. After Shippo was done with his exploration he quickly made his way back to Kagome's side. "Mama, I heard something about food. Can we get something to eat, I'm hungry," he asked cutely.
Kagome smiled widely at her son and nodded. "Yes, I was just about to cook some food for our guests. How would you like to help?"
"Yay!" he cried and raced into the kitchen. Kagome picked up Dante and settled him next to his sister as Kagome made to follow her rambunctious son into the kitchen.
"Well," Yoko began before following after Kagome. "This should be interesting."
"My sentiments exactly," Kuronue murmured, shaking his head in dismay at the day's events.
Well, I decided to stop there, because the next chapter will probably be long and have Kagome explain her life to Kuronue and Yoko. I wanted to introduce her kits and I was originally going to have Shippo and Dante, my own made up character, but after thinking about it, I added Shiori in there for some fun. Anyway who reads any of my other stories, know there are a few with Shiori in it, so you should know who she is and that I like using her because I think she is too cute. Anyway, I hope you guys liked this chapter. And I hope it causes you to think about how weird Kagome's life has been, beacause I assure you it will get weirder. So, thanks to those of you who already reviewed, you guys are the best. Please review some more and tell me what you think.
