Chapter 12

At the village shopping

When the group reached the village where the twins were talking about Sesshomaru told the twins, "now Megumi and Kumiko, this Sesshomaru does not want to be here for long, just pick out what you really need then we're off." Kagome noticed the twins' face drop when Sesshomaru mentioned that they were only there to get them what they really need, and not to shop and look around.

Kagome, was surprised when she heard the twins respond together, "yes fluffy."

Kagome figured that while the twins were looking around she would see if she can find more clothes for Shippo because he was outgrowing his clothes fast. As Kagome was looking for clothes she noticed that Rin was not with her, but when she looked up she saw that Rin was with her Aunt Megumi, and they together with Kumiko were looking for nice clothes for her. But, what surprised Kagome the most was the fact that in a neat pile close to where Sesshomaru was standing with all of the items the twins would need until we made it back to the Western Palace.

Sesshomaru was beginning to get impatient with his twin sisters because they were taking too long to finish up their last minute shopping.

Kagome's thoughts on Sesshomaru's twin sisters

When Kagome was introduced to Megumi and Kumiko she was surprised to see how quickly Sesshomaru was to defend his sisters when Inuyasha was complaining about them. Kagome was surprised that Sesshomaru would defend his sisters, but not Inuyasha.

Before Kagome can ask Sesshomaru a question, Shippo beat her to it and asked, "Sesshomaru-sama why are these two pretty ladies now traveling with us? And why did you defend them against Inuyasha?"

Sesshomaru looking at Shippo says, "This Sesshomaru's little sisters are now traveling with us because young Rin had sent a messenger to this Sesshomaru's mother when your mamma, Kagome-sama was hurt. So, in return this Sesshomaru's mother sent his sisters as company. Now Shippo as to why this Sesshomaru defended his sisters against Inuyasha is because this Sesshomaru loves his sister and they are very much like this Sesshomaru."

Hearing this Kagome saw the look in Sesshomaru's eyes as he was talking to Shippo about his sisters.

Kagome then looked to where the twins were with Rin and saw that they were heading back towards them. As they were walking back Rin ran ahead and yelled, "daddy look at what Aunt Megumi and Aunt Kumiko got Rin." Kagome then hears Megumi tell Rin, "Rin sweetheart, you say 'look daddy at what Aunt Megumi and Aunt Kumiko got me.' You understand Rin?"

Kagome looked on shocked as Rin nodded her little head and says "yes, Aunt Megumi, Rin…I mean I understand." What shocked Kagome even more what when Megumi got happy and pulled out a little gift for Rin.

Sesshomaru's POV

Sesshomaru looked on as he watched the interaction between his sisters and Rin. When he saw Megumi gently correct Rin on her speaking and when Rin spoke the way Megumi taught her, he thought to himself, 'maybe this Sesshomaru should ask both Kagome-sama and Megumi to help teach Rin how to speak about herself in the first person and not the third person.''

Sesshomaru after observing the interaction between Rin and Megumi, called out to the others, "all right let's get together and start heading back to the western lands."

Kumiko starts to whine, "But fluffy, there's so much more to shop for!" Sesshomaru responds "Kumiko, you may shop once again once we reach the western palace, now come on before this Sesshomaru gets mad and makes you walk with Jaken."

Kumiko not wanting that to happen right away quiets down and gathers her things and starts walking along side Megumi.

As they are walking through the forest Sesshomaru stops walking as Kagome asks him, "Sesshomaru-sama, may we please stop at the place where the battle took place, I want to see it?"

Sesshomaru thinks about it; while his beast is rattling at his confines in his mind yelling, 'do not take mate back over to the site we do not know where Naraku is, he can attack mate again.'

As Sesshomaru was thinking he did not notice when Megumi and Kumiko walked up to him and Megumi told him, "Sesshou let Kagome see the 'battle ground' it will do her some good and we're all here we can make sure that Kagome stays safe."

Sesshomaru looks at Megumi and tells her, "this Sesshomaru and his beast does not want to lose Kagome, she is this Sesshomaru's chosen."

Megumi nods her head at what her brothers is telling her, but in response she tells him, "Sesshou I can sense a greater power in her, which she still needs to find deep within her."

Sesshomaru looks to Kagome and says "we will head to the site, but Rin and Shippo-chan you two will stay near Megumi and Kumiko."

Receiving nods from everyone around him Sesshomaru turns and starts to head towards the site dubbed the 'battle ground.'

~Once they reach the 'battle ground'~

As they were nearing the battle Sesshomaru conceals his sent and then he can sense when Megumi and Kumiko hide there scents.

Sesshomaru stops at the opening of the 'battle ground' and tells Megumi and Kumiko to stay behind with the children.

Sesshomaru and Kagome then go out into the field where the battle took place.

As Kagome steps out into the field she notices all of the broken trees and branches missing. She walks up to one of the trees and sees it is the tree where she was thrown into.

She then continues to walk around the site and she sees there is a piece of red fabric on the ground.

She gets the piece of fabric and turns to Sesshomaru with alarm in her eyes. "Lord Sesshomaru is Inuyasha ok? Has he woken up yet?"

Sesshomaru worried about Kagome's sudden fear in her scent goes up to her and hugs her close to his person and tells her, "This Sesshomaru's inu-hanou half brother Inuyasha is awake and driving this Sesshomaru crazy wondering where Kikyo is."

As Sesshomaru was comforting Kagome he sensed a power aura which could only be none other than Naraku coming toward them the way where Megumi, Kumiko, and the children were hiding.
