He walked in the rain, carrying her body. The only reason you could tell he was crying was because of the look on his face. He walked to the North, to the cold dark mountains. She was so cold and it looked as if she were not breathing, but he knew she was. He knew were he was going and what he had to do, he was not only crying because of what happened but because he would have to leave her, with them, with him.

It seemed the closer he got to the mountains the harder the rain started to fall. This was all Naraku's fault, before he died he did a few drastic things. One was making sure the well was gone, but before that he somehow gave Kikyo life and somehow Inuyasha ended up mating with her before he had even really thought about what he was doing. The other thing Naraku had done was give a shard away. He had given a shard to a blood thirsty vampire wishing the over throw his brother. Naraku had told them vampire to bite the miko, changing her in hopes someone would use the jewel to wish her back to normal, but that would not happen, the group knew better. In the end Naraku lost his life and the jewel returned to the miko's body. The vampire had died of course, but Kagome, Kagome was for ever going to be changed, it had been Inuyasha fault for not protecting her, how could he protect her right with a mate of his own to look after?

It was Miroku who told Inuyasha what he most do, even though the words coming out of his mouth seemed like they didn't want to come.

Inuyasha made his was to the front of the large mountain, holding tight to Kagome's wet clothing, his hands bunching her clothing up. He sniffed and gritted his teeth. He could feel the vampires inside and he could see there gold and red eyes, he wondered for a moment which color Kagome would have. Inuyasha slowly laid Kagome down in a puddle and stood.

The lighting shot out showing a coming forth form. It looked down at the woman laying before him,

"My brother, my brother did this?"

"Yes" Inuyasha looked down,

"How did this happen" He asked,

"I, I was not there, Naraku- Inuyasha chocked on his own word unable to finish.

"You need not say more, I know of the half demon Naraku, he is dead now is he not?"

"Yes" Inuyasha answered,

"I see, my brother as well?"

"Yes" That's all Inuyasha could offer.

The man looked down at the girl "What would you have me do with her?"

Inuyasha looked at the man quick. He was tall and built like Inuyasha own brother. He had pure gold eyes for a pure blood vampires of royal blood. His skin was fair, but not as white as one would think. His hair was short unlike most men in that time. It spiked out in front of his gold eyes and off to the side and was a clean cut in the back. On his right wrist was a black cross.

"He bit her, I thought, I was told, You- Inuyasha just could not get it out of his mouth. The vampire put his hand up,

"Enough" He knelt down next to the girl and lifted her up with one arm under her neck. She was different and beautiful and powerful "Leave her, go and never come back" Were his words without looking up at Inuyasha.

"I will never see her again will I?"

"She now belongs to me, and you were not able to protect her, for that reason alone is enough for my word to stand, but there are mean reasons, yet why must I explain?"

Inuyasha backed up, tears still running down his face. His eyed moved from him and Kagome to a woman coming out of the cave, she moved so swiftly. She was beautiful, had long snow white hair and her skin was whiter than her fellow vampire. Her eyes were also gold and her lips were as red as a dark red rose. She came quickly to the male and knelt somewhat behind him, her long white dress getting wet.

"She is beautiful my love" Her voice soft and beautiful like herself.

"Lennox, will you take her as a mate?" The woman asked,

"No my wife, I shall not" He then looked back up at the half breed "Leave now"

Inuyasha stood for a moment before turning and running away.

Lennox stood with the girl in his arms, the rain soaking them all. Lennox looked down at her again "Tell me my mate, are you fond of this creature?"

The woman blinked a few times "I think, I think I shall like to keep her, will you not consider mating her?"

Mating was different for vampires, while having only one lover, they sometimes had more than one mate, this was to insure safety and ownership of someone they wanted to keep close. Vampires kept close and protected one another at all cost, well most did anyway.

Lennox looked up at his mate "I shall protect her of my own accord, I need not mate her" He then though for a moment "She shall be your daughter"

The woman smiled and bowed her head "Thank you my Lord, leave her to me, I shall take care of her till her transformation is complete"

"Very well" Lennox turned and slowly walked back to the cave with Kagome in his arms, her own arms beginning to pale and hanging loosely and sways as he walked, the rain that fell ran down those said arms, but what dripped from her fingertips was blood as red as a bleeding red rose.
