Little Inuyasha by cassandra

Chapter 6

Kagome was trying her best not to freak out. She had to stay calm for Inuyasha's sake. They were both cold, hungry, thristy and tired. As soon as they got to Naraku's castle they were thrown into a cold, dark, damp room.

"Gome, I is ascared." Inuyasha wimpered.

"Don't worry Inuyasha. Sesshomaru will come and save us."

"I wouldn't count on that Kagome." Kagome spun around to see that Naraku had entered the room.

"Naraku! What do you want with us?" She spat.

Naraku smirked. "You'll find out soon enough."

"I don't know what you're planning but you won't get away with it!"

"Oh I've already put my plan into motion. Changing Inuyasha was only the begining. By the way, how do you like him as a pup?" He said smirking.

"You leave him out of this!" She said as Inuyasha ran to hide behind her.

"Oh you don't have to worry. I'm no longer worried about him. He's harmless now that he's a pup. Now if you'll excuse me, I have things that need to be done." He said before leaving the room and locking the door behind him.

"Gome? Why is that Naku man mean to us?" Inuyasha asked once Naraku was gone.

Kagome sighed. "He's just a bad man. A VERY bad man."

"Gome, I want Shomu." Inuyasha said as he began to cry. She lifted him into her arms and rocked him.

"Shh. Don't cry Inuyasha. We'll be fine, you'll see. Sesshomaru will save us."

"P-pwomise?" Inuyasha sniffled.

"I promise."

"Otay. I love you Gome." He said snuggling into her.

She smiled. "I love you too Inuyasha."

"Do you think that Toshi, Luna and my bunny are otay?" Inuyasha asked. He was worried that the bad Naraku man had hurt his animal friends.

"I'm sure they are. Sesshomaru and Kouga will take good care of them." She said smiling at him.

"Otay. Will you sing me a song Gome?" He asked. She smiled and sang to him as she rocked him to sleep.

"I hope you come for us soon Sesshomaru." She whispered as she brushed Inuyasha's hair off his face.

Miles away, the search party for Inuyasha and Kagome carried on. Kai talked to all her friends and they could all see where Kagome got her kindness from. The only one who remained silent was Sesshomaru. He made sure he trailed behind the others. Kouga noticed and went to walk with his new friend.

"So how are ya holdin up?"

"How do you think I am wolf? The love of my life and my little brother are in danger!" Sesshomaru growled.

"Whoa! Calm down! I only asked a question!" Kouga said.

Sesshomaru sighed. "I'm sorry. It's just...I've never cared for someone as much as I do Kagome. I'd die if I lost her."

"What about Inuyasha?"

"I miss him as well. It's too quiet without him around. I'm attached to the pup." He said sadly. He knew his time with Inuyasha as a pup was growing short. A part of him wanted Inuyasha to stay little and he told Kouga so.

Kouga nodded. "I know what ya mean. He's a good pup and it's gonna suck when he's normal again." Sesshomaru couldn't agree more.

Unknown to them, Kai had been listening to their entire conversation. He smiled when he heard how fondly Kouga and Sesshomaru spoke of little Inuyasha. His smile widened when he heard Sesshomaru talking about Kagome. He knew how much Sesshomaru loved her and he decided that he would speak to Sesshomaru about it later.

That night after dinner, Sesshomaru decided to take a walk. He smiled sadly when he came to the clearing that he'd taken Kagome to the night he'd told her about Inuyasha. This was also the place where they'd made out for the first time. He almost made love to her that night. Now, he wished that he had made love to her.

"I miss you Kagome. Please be alright and please take good care of Inuyasha for me." He said as a tear fell down his face.

"Sesshomaru?" He heard Kai say from behind him. Sesshomaru quickly dried his eyes and composed himself before turning around.

"What is it Kai?"

"I was just wondering how you were holding up?"

"As well as to be expected I suppose."

Kai nodded. "I wanted to talk to you about something. I couldn't help but to overhear your conversation with the wolf. From what I gather, you have feelings for Kagome."

Sesshomaru sighed. "Yes, I do. I love her very much."

"I see. You do know she has an intended do you not?"

Sesshomaru looked away. "I am aware of that. You need not worry though. I will not stand in Inuyasha's way. I will not rob him of his chance at being happy."

"So you'd willingly break your own heart just to see Inuyasha happy?"

"Yes. I would."

Kai smiled. "You're an honorable man just like your father."

"Thank you Kai."

"You are honorable, but you are wrong. Inuyasha is not Kagome's intended."

"What do you mean? Who is her intended then?"

Kai smirked. "I cannot tell you. You will find out soon enough. And trust me when I say that you WILL be surprised." He patted Sesshomaru on the back before he headed back to camp.

"He is one strange man. I never did understand him or his damn puzzles." Sesshomaru said to himself. He smirked when he replayed what Kai had told him in his head. Now that he knew that Inuyasha wasn't Kagome's intended, he would challenge any man who tried to claim her. His eyes tinted red as he thought of some other man getting to enjoy his sweet Kagome's body. When that thought entered his mind he growled. There was no way in hell that he'd allow another man to touch her. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes to calm himself. Once he was calm he went back to camp.

The next day everyone could tell Sesshomaru was in higher spirits then he had been for the past few days. When Kouga asked why he was so happy, Sesshomaru smirked.

"The reason why I am in a better mood, is because I found out some very good news last night." Sesshomaru said.

"Oh yeah? What did ya find out?" Kouga asked.

"I found out that Inuyasha isn't Kagome's intended after all."

"Oh really? So who is her intended then?" Kouga asked even though he already knew the answer.

Sesshomaru frowned. "Kai would not tell me. He told me that I would know soon and that I'd be surprised when I found out who it was. I can't wait to find out who it is though."

"Oh? Why's that?" Kouga asked.

"Because now that I know it's not Inuyasha, I have no problems with killing the bastard who tries to claim her." Sesshomaru growled.

Kouga smirked. "Oh I doubt you'll have any problems. You'll get Kagome, I just know it."

Kai overheard them and smirked. Sesshomaru was so sure that he'd be able to kill Kagome's intended so that he could have her himself. No matter how much Sesshomaru wanted to kill Kagome's intended, both Kai and Kouga knew he wouldn't be able to. This was going to be one hell of a rescue mission.
