They traveled for days, stopping only to eat and bathroom uses. Kagome had no clue where Sesshomaru was taking her. She had tried to ask him but he ignored her. He barely even looked at her throughout the journey. When they stopped to bathe Sesshomaru would vanish leaving her alone to bathe.

Kagome sat on the edge of the fluffy cloud she came to call it. Her arms wrapped around her knees and hair whipping in the wind. She remained silent knowing nothing good would come of trying to talk to him. His obvious anger cut at her heart. He was upset that she still loved Inuyasha and how could she blame him? But the love she felt for Inuyasha would take time to get over. She just hoped Sesshomaru would be patient with her.

Her hair suddenly flew above her head. They were descending. When Kagome stood with little difficulty she gasped at the view before her. It was the ocean. She must have been buried deep within her thoughts because the roar of the waves was hard to miss. Excitement bubbled in her stomach.

They landed on the beach and Kagome didn't wait for them to touch the sand before jumping off and taking off toward the waving waters. Before she could reach them her name rang in the air.

She looked to her right to see Shippo and Rin rushing after her. Ah-Un and Jaken were in front of a small abandoned shack. Her bright yellow pack was noticeably on the two headed dragon's rump. As Shippo and Rin rushed past her to "beat her to the waves" Kagome ran to her pack. She pulled out her bathing suit and rushed inside the shack.

"Don't peek Jaken!" Kagome insisted.

The little demon grew red in the face. "The nerve to assume I would want to peek on human filth!"

She ignored him now getting used to his insults. She slipped out of her clothes just as quickly as she slipped into her bathing suit and ran out of the shack. Again ignoring Jaken's startled cry at her clothing and ran into the waves with Rin and Shippo, joining them in their laughter.

She glanced back toward the shore and noticed sadly that Sesshomaru was nowhere to be found. She faltered momentarily until Shippo jumped on her soaking her wet. She let out a squeal and darted after him as he ran away laughing.

For hours they played like that together and every so often coming up with a new game of chase until they were so exhausted they could barely move. By this time the sun had started to set. When she could gather the energy finally Kagome got up in search of Sesshomaru who was still missing. When she asked Jaken if he had seen him she got a snort as reply.

She kicked him before grabbing her robes and walking into the forest behind the shack. She couldn't take this treatment anymore. She needed to tell Sesshomaru that yes she cared for Inuyasha but she was getting over it with his help and she wanted to get over him. A few minutes into the forest she quickly regretted the decision. She had no clue where to begin looking or even what direction and the further she went in the darker it was. It was eerily quiet.

She took a step back as a chill ran down her back. Something was wrong. She could feel it in her gut. When she turned to leave she was smacked with the sickening thought, Oh no! I'm lost!

"Oh good one Kagome!" She whined to herself, "How do I always do this to myself?"

She took a deep breath and mentally told herself to calm down and think. There was no way she would get out of this mess by panicking. Carefully she looked at her surroundings and saw nothing familiar. What a way to pay attention stupid.

The tall trees looked like skeletons swaying dark robes and she couldn't see the stars past them to even navigate her way back to the beach. The only sounds were the rustling of the leaves above her which could easily be mistaken for the sounds of waves, so listening for the ocean was out as well. With a sigh she saw only one option: To pick a direction and hope it was the right one. She held her chin up high as she decided to head toward where she was confident she came from.

Several minutes passed by and she saw no sign of the ocean. Now she was starting to get worried. It hadn't taken her this long to get out there. Kagome stopped again to look at her surroundings and bit her lip nervously. Something caught her eye.

Squinting her eyes she focused in on what looked like a house. Curiously she walked toward it. Maybe someone lived there and could help her get back to the beach. With each step she took it seemed the forest grew darker. An unsettling feeling fluttered in her stomach. Okay maybe this wasn't a good idea…this place is starting to creep me out.

The house, although large for this era, looked run down. The wood paneling was splintering off in chunks and the straw flap was hanging by one side and was swaying though Kagome could not feel a breeze, as if someone had brushed passed it. There was a large window that Kagome could see nothing but darkness in. She took notice that a large stone well was built on the far side of the house.

She heard a faint noise that startled her. What was that?

She stood motionless as to see if she could hear it again. She almost grew annoyed with her own heart thumping in her chest. Suddenly she heard it again!

It's a child's laugh!

Kagome instantly thought of Shippo and Rin. She grew even more annoyed. "Come on guys this isn't funny. Come on out and tell me how to get back."

Nothing moved.

Kagome pinched her brow and rubbed it and sighed. "Shippo. Rin. This isn't funny. Not one bit, you will make me angry if you try to scare me."

Another giggle.

Kagome's uneasy feeling returned. What if this wasn't Shippo and Rin? She was sure they would have come out by now. She was about to turn and leave when she saw a flip of long black hair whizz behind the house. It was the same height as Rin.

Kagome scowled and went after her. "Come one Rin knock it of-" She was cut short as she rounded the corner to find nothing there. Her heart started pounding harder than ever. Something was playing with her and it wasn't Rin. There was no way even she could have vanished so quickly. She turned to leave and gasped when a little girl stood before her.

She looked so pale but she looked up at Kagome with a relieved smile. She wore a similar yukata to Rin's, though this child was fairly smaller in size and she wore no sandals. Something about her face wasn't right but she couldn't put her finger on it. She had large brown eyes and her long black hair was a tattered mess.

"Mommy…You came back for me." The soft words were like sandpaper on her skin. Kagome felt the blood rush from her face as she realized what was wrong with the girl. She could see through her. This little girl was a ghost!

"Mommy…you don't hate me anymore?" She held up her hands as if to have Kagome pick her up.

"H-hate you?" Kagome sputtered. "I'm not your mother..I-I'm sorry but I-"

"You're going to leave me again mommy?" The girls face twisted with a malice that no child could manage. "After what you did to me?"

Kagome took a step back, "I'm not your mother little girl! I didn't do anything to you! I'm-"

"MOMMY! YOU HURT ME! YOU HURT ME! YOU HURT ME! YOU HURT ME!" The little girls face started to melt into a gory scene of blood and bone. Half her face was skinned off, strings of meaty chunks hung from her chin. Her lips were now gone leaving nothing to curtain her jagged teeth. The eye on the skinned side shriveled to a raisin like state and her skull had cracks large enough to see the curvy lumps of the brain.

Kagome's fear reached all new heights as a blood curdling scream tore from her. Suddenly she was in motion. She knew of no safe direction to go other than away from the little girl. Her heart was pounding so hard that every thump felt like it was going to pop out of her chest.

She heard a giggle and she saw a flash of the little girl behind a tree as she ran by. She screamed again urging her aching legs to move faster. Her panicked breath started to cause her side to burn and her throat felt like she was inhaling flaming sandpaper.

She saw the girl again. "Come stay with me mommy!"

"Get away from me! I'm not your mother!" Kagome screamed.

"Mommy! COME BACK!" The screech pierced her ears and caused Kagome to stumble enough to trip on the root of a bush. The breath shot out of her with a "WHOOSH" and pain shot through her body.

Silence.

Kagome sat up as quickly as she could and scanned around her. There was no sign of movement. Had the ghost given up? She got to her feet not wanting to spend any longer there waiting to find out.

"Mommy…"

Kagome froze. Pure terror immobilized her. There beside the tree stood the little girl in her ghastly form. She made painfully slow steps toward Kagome with her hands held out to her. "Why did you hurt me mommy? I love you."

She couldn't move from where she stood and for some reason thought to herself, That stupid girl in horror movies isn't so stupid anymore. Pure terror was the most intense human reaction. This little girl was going to kill her because she was mistaking her for her mother and she could do nothing to stop it.

Something moved behind the girl but Kagome couldn't take her eyes off the horror in front of her, inching closer and closer. Suddenly a blade ripped through the girl tearing a screech from her as she vanished.

It took Kagome a few seconds to realize that Sesshomaru stood before her. Her legs gave away with relief at the sight of him. Tears poured out of her eyes before she could even think to control them. Her entire body shook from the adrenaline coursing through her.

"Why are you here?" His voice was stern but Kagome didn't care. She was so relieved that he was here. It took her a few tries before she could form audible words.

"I was…looking for you…to apolo...gize…" She tried to calm her breathing but her words came out in panicked hiccups. "I don't…want…you to…be…mad…at...me." Sesshomaru's expressionless face bent to her level, awaiting for what she had to say.

"I know..you're mad…because…of him…but…I…don't want…him. I love…him but…I don't…want to. I want…you…I'm sorry…I'm not…strong…enough…to…let go…"

Sesshomaru picked her up without letting her finish. "Next time wait for me to return." He cradled her to his chest in a subtle way where if someone were to pass by they would see nothing more than him carrying her, but Kagome felt the extra force he held on her. She snuggled into his tail and apologized over and over.

"Mommy…"

Kagome sucked in a breath and some of Sesshomaru's tail fluff.

Sesshomaru turned and looked at the girl. Appearing again human. "Leave here spirit. I will not ask again."

"You're going to take mommy again." The evil glare was twisted upon the girl's face again. "It's your fault mommy hurt me and left me."

"This woman is not your mother." And with that Sesshomaru flicked his hand sending out his poison whip. It struck right where her heart would have been making the girl shriek in pain. An unknown gust sent the girls hair and yukata whipping around her and her face began to melt into its gruesome state. She continued to shriek until she burst into flames and nothing was left but a small pile of ashes.

Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome who had fallen slack in his arms. The strain of this event had truly terrified her to exhaustion. His eyes went to her exposed stomach due to the robe falling open and wondered to himself what it would be like to have his child in there.

The thought nearly left him gaping. There was no way he could bring a half breed into the world. He wasn't even sure if he could be a father. His own leapt to his death after Inuyasha's mother so he never knew him very well. He knew nothing of caring for a child. Rin simply followed him and could fend for herself when he was away. No. He would not let himself create another Inuyasha.

He gazed upon Kagome's face. He would be with her and care for her, but he would not let a child be born of this.
