////Now I know I own no one, nor the historical character if I kept him true to history, but I did not, so Ranmaru Mori is mine.////

Kagome had been in the forest looking for a new location for her new hut to be built on. InuYasha mated with this equally loud Inu Hanyou name InuKiko and every night. Since then, Kagome has been going nuts to the sounds of their rutting. So, Kagome decided she had to move, and here she was now in a glade just past the tree line on the other side of the well. She was pacing out the size of hut she wanted to be built for herself; when all a sudden, a very feminine looking young man, no more than Kagome’s age or younger like 17, strode into the glade. He had blue-black hair like hers and dark blue eyes like near to midnight blue. He stood four inches taller than her 5’.6”; he was 5’.10”. He wore a light violet kimono with a light blue obe and a long sword that hummed power and has a golden tassel attached at the end. Kagome noticed on his left breast of his kimono was the west’s light blue crescent moon. He had pale soft skin just one shade darker then hers, and as he waited for her to greet him properly, she thought about how he could almost pass for her brother if not for the more narrow face then hers.

Kagome bowed her head slightly and waited for him to speak. The Boy nodded his head and walked around her looking her over before he said, “Hm, I thought I would be looking for some plane Miko, and here I find a beauty. It seems like a crime that you were at one point doomed to care for the shikon jewel, maybe it is also fate that you are free from it. I am Ranmaru no Mori, I come on the request of Lord Sesshomaru no Taisho that you come and speak to him. He claims it is very important and cannot wait.”

Kagome’s mouth dropped open, this beautiful boy was Ranmaru, the boy that was said to have died with Nobunaga Oda ten years ago, she was about to asked how when, Ranmaru said, “No, Kagome no Higurashi I did not die. I was hired and marked as a personal guard of Sesshomaru’s because of my unwavering loyalty. Even in the face of the fact that my leader might not be all-together as the polite term would be. Upon my fake death, I was reborn sort to speak, I woke in the healer’s room untouched and I was told I was now a phoenix youkai and the blue of my eyes and hair is the represents of the hottest part of the flame. Every night while I sleep I died and when the morning comes, I am reborn and I wake. Now my fair Miko-Hime, can I please take you with me to see Sesshomaru.”

Kagome was baffled and did not know what to think, she did know however know that she could not leave her kit behind and said, “I cannot leave behind my kit Shippo, I am his only guardian now, I am his mother and father, his only form of a family. Please let me take him with me and I will go.”

Ranmaru looked Kagome in her eyes as though he was searching for something, “You need not ask me that. I too lost family and I too was raised by another, though my life was not the same as the kits. I would be pleased to take him along as well. There are other younglings there would be glad to meet another. If I am not mistaken Rin no Taisho is taking two weeks off her studies for the spring celebration that is coming, she would be pleased to see her friend again. It would give me a break from the constant stories of how great and fun Shippo no Higurashi is.”

“Shippo doesn’t have a last name.” Kagome said as she motioned for Ranmaru to follow her in the village of Edo to get Shippo.

“He is your son, so he has your name then.” Ranmaru said as he lifted a branch out of the way for her.

“Well yes but, I never thought of that before. He would love to hear that. Did Sesshomaru say why he wanted to speak to me?” Kagome asked as she looked over Ranmaru again. She was a secret fan of him as he was her favorite figure in history class, he had high cheekbones and delicate mouth with eyes that were so obvious male and long eyelashes that would make women die of envy. He had bangs in that parted and hung just over half of his eyes. He had a long stripe of hair that hanged off of his temples and hung just past his neck. The rest of his hair was pulled up into a high ponytail tied by violet ribbon and light blue thin ribbon ties while the hair of the ponytail hung down to his waist.

Ranmaru smiled at her and said, “I know you are admiring me but I think right now would not be a good time to stare at me, you might trip and hurt yourself. And, no Sesshomaru did not tell me why. He said that he wanted me to bring only you and just you, save for your kit, could come. It is odd, as he never requests a female to come and see him so I am left to wonder.”
