Sesshomaru's Rage

Part 2

You guys thought I was going to leave you hanging for a long time didn't you? Well I had an idea and it has just not let me go, so I'm starting up part 2 very shortly after I finished part 1. I didn't realize this would be more than one part when I started it but sometimes the characters tell you want they want and won't allow it any other way.

I hope you like what happens.

Kagome, in her small form, the form of a small black fox, just a little bigger than Kirara in her small form, with 3 three black tails, lounged next to a pond within the palace garden. Her eyes closed and if no one had known better they would have said she was perfectly content.

That is exactly what many of those in the palace thought of her. She was an ally of their lord, a full blooded kitsune youkai who was happy with her place in life, her family, her friends and her allies, they knew nothing of her miko side.

Suddenly there was another kitsune seemingly stalking her, this one was orange, with only one tail but about her size, he slowly creeped up on the lounging form of Kagome.

Just as the orange kitsune was about to pounce, Kagome jumped up and pounced the other kitsune, pinning him to the ground, then mewed as if saying 'I told you so,' and she swished her trails and went to a tree that had a robe hanging from it and went behind the tree and transformed, then grabbed the robe from behind the tree and wrapped it around herself and tied the sash, it was silky and black, just as Kagome liked it.

She looked down at the disgruntled kitsune at her feet, "Now Shippou, you should know better by now not to sneak up and try to pounce me when I'm resting," said Kagome as Shippou looked disgruntled and ran off.

She shook her head as he went back in the palace.

Just then a wild child's scream came from other door to the garden, Kagome looked in the direction only to see a naked human girl of about 2 years old headed towards her at full spead with arms up to be picked up, her violet eyes shining with mischief, her wet tangled hair in her eyes.

"Auntie Kagome!"

Kagome scooped the girl up, "Now where is your father, Sakura," the little girl gave an innocent look and shrugged causing Kagome to laugh and start walking towards the door Sakura had come out of.

Just then, said father came running out, his hair undone, a towel in his hands and his clothes soaked, he stopped when he saw Kagome with Sakura, he scowled playfully at Sakura who giggled and hid her face in Kagome's robe.

"There you are Sakura, I see you found your favorite aunt," Sakura just smiled at that. Miroku held his hands for Sakura, who squirmed in Kagome's hands.

Kagome looked seriously down at Sakura meeting the young girl's eyes and Sakura jumped willingly to her father's surprised arms.

Miroku sighed and put the towel around Sakura, "I don't know how you do that once her bath is over I never can get her to hold still or not take off."

Kagome shrugged, "It's a gift, I guess. Now go get some clothes on that girl before Sango wakes up."

Miroku looked panicked for a second, "she's not awake is she?"

Kagome quirked her head to the side, "no she's not but you better hurry; Rin can only watch the boys for so long before she looses control of them, and by the way if you see Shippou he's in trouble cause he was supposed to be helping her and he came out here to bother me."

Miroku nodded and quickly headed back inside to get Sakura dressed and relieve Rin of the burden of his older two children.

Kagome shook her head as yet another person came out into the garden; this one brought a scowl to her face.

"What do you want Jaken," she said as she swished her tails in irritation.

Jaken just scowled right back, had many more wrinkles than the first time Kagome had seen him and he hunched more but he was still the same old Jaken.

"My Lord Sesshomaru, sent me to bring you to him," he scowled at her robe, "though it would do you good to get into appropriate attire."

She quirked an eyebrow, "Sesshomaru knows this is my time that I relax, I will see what he wants then I will get dressed in something more suitable."

She then briskly went past him towards the door he had just come out of leaving him to catch up.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru sat in his office looking over a report that troubled him; it was one of three that had come in this morning from the scouts. Kagome had become a constant in his live and he trusted her implicitly, and he didn't bring everything to her attention, mostly she acted as a general to his army or at least an ally. But this is something they had been waiting for. He looked up to the sound of soft footsteps outside the door followed by quick ones, Kagome and Jaken, he thought.

"Come in," he said before there was a knock, and Kagome came in and closed the door in Jaken's face.

"You called for me Sesshomaru?"

He looked up at her and as always was shocked by what he saw, as her appearance had done since that day so many years ago when he had first seen her youkai form, he mentally calmed himself, she was an ally nothing more, beautiful as she was, she was only an ally, could not be any more.

"I got a report in this morning that you need to see," he slid a paper across the desk towards her.

She approached the desk and the paper cautiously as if it were dangerous, he knew she could smell the blood on the report as well as see it. The scout who had delivered this message was with the healers now. She picked up the paper slowly and read the contents.

The paper dropped out of her hands and she stared at the wall behind him for exactly 3 seconds before meeting Sesshomaru's eyes with her wide and almost frantic ones.

She gulped, "He's back."

Sesshomaru nodded, "yes, it seems Inuyasha is back and causing havoc again, or at least a youkai who bears a remarkable resemblance to him and is carrying tetsusaiga around."

She collapsed to the floor on her knees, her eyes glazed; it had been 14 years since she had set eyes on Inuyasha, since he had killed Kohaku, at that thought she looked up in the direction of Miroku and Sango's room. This was the wrong time for those two, with 3 young ones and twins on the way. They were happy. They didn't need this.

They had all hoped that Inuyasha was dead, they knew Naraku wasn't and the threat he represented wasn't but that was for Sesshomaru and Kagome to deal with. She and Sesshomaru had already agreed that the others did not need be involved in that fight unless absolutely necessary.

She looked down only to find Sesshomaru on a knee next to her, concern in his eyes, she had come to know that the ice lord had many emotions, though only to those he truly trusted.

As Sesshomaru looked at her he realized how much he had changed in these past 14 years because he had had a couple of humans who had gotten married and had kids in his palace, a kitsune who he cared deeply for, another younger kitsune who seemed to cause nothing but mischief but more so with the women since he had hit puberty, and most importantly a human female, his daughter who had blossomed under his watchful eye.

Kagome looked in his eyes and the depression seemed to drain out of them replaced with determination.

He came to his feet and helped her to hers, "What are we going to do, we can't let him keep killing."

Sesshomaru looked in her eyes, she didn't look a day over 25 where Sango looked her 32 years, such was the fate of a youkai who had befriended humans, to watch them age and die, "We must discuss this with Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Rin and Wolfstar."

Suddenly the door flew open, in its place was Wolfstar grinning from ear to ear.

"Were you two talking about me?"

Kagome looked at him and smiled mischievously, "yes we were discussing how we would tell the maid you had last week about the cook you had last night.?"

Wolfstar's jaw dropped before he smirked, "that could be a problem since I had both of them the night before last night."

Kagome laughed.

Sesshomaru shook his head, "Wolfstar, Inuyasha's back we will be discussing what we will do when Sango wakes up."

Wolfstar suddenly turned serious or as close as he got to it nodded, "I will inform Rin and Shippou."

Kagome nodded, "I'll tell Miroku and Sango after I get dressed. She should be awake by then. Sesshomaru nodded, "we will meet in the parlor and have the servants bring some tea up."

Kagome smiled slightly and left the room.

Sesshomaru sighed and sat on one of the couches in the room, putting his head in his hands, Wolfstar sat next to him.

Sesshomaru muttered, "What was father thinking when he took that human to his bed."

Suddenly a voice on his shoulder spoke up, "that he loved her and wanted a life with a woman he loved, protecting her," Sesshomaru looked to his should to see the flea Myouga.

The flea continued, "I know, I asked him the same thing myself," he jumped off Sesshomaru's shoulder onto his leg, "none of us could have seen this out come then."

Sesshomaru nodded, Wolfstar stood up, "Myouga is right, none could have seen this outcome then."

Sesshomaru sighed, "very well. We do what we must."

With that Wolfstar walked out of the room.
