hello everyone. im new here so this is my first fanfic ever. as a warning there may be a couple of mistakes and out of characterness. just a heads up.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately for me i do not own any of the characters from Inuyasha. They are all by their creator Rumiko Takahashi. [REEDITED]

chapter 1: the plan

Inuyasha could smell him from a mile a way and knew for sure if they kept heading straight they would definitely run into HIM. The one person they needed had to be the one that has tried to kill him on many occasions. That person was none other than his half brother Sesshomaru. If Naraku wasn't beginning to get stronger every time they faced off, he wouldn't be going to ask the inu-youkai for help at all, plus Kagome pretty much sat him till he was 10 feet below the ground before he agreed to do it. Yep, it was all her fault that he was going through this.

'Damn girl and her dumb ideas,' he thought to himself. 'This will never work. As soon as that bastard sees me his gonna attack'

"INUYASHA!" Said hanyou turn around to see an angry Kagome staring at him.

"What? Don't tell me your tired already? We just started walking!" Inuyasha shouted.

Kagome turned to Sango and Miroku. "You see! He wasn't even paying attention!" She then turned back to Inuyasha and stated. "You idiot! No one was complaining. We were talking about how we are going to convince Sesshomaru to join us."

"Now you guys are thinking about that when we're so damn near to seeing him? You have got to be kidding me!"

"Now, now Inuyasha. No need to get angry." Miroku said walking up to the hanyou. "I'm sure everything will be fine."

"That's easy for you to say monk, but you don't have a psychotic demon of a brother that's trying to wipe you from existence. I know for sure as soon as we propose this plan that cold hearted bastard will take on good look at me and try to slice me to bits. Heh. As if he could even land a blow on me," he stated proudly and confidently.

"Is that so dear little brother".

Everyone eyes widened as they realized Sesshomaru was a little way off to the side, listening with a bored look on his face. He took a step towards them and spoke. "If you were really superior as you sound to be then you would have notice this Sesshomaru's presence. Now, I demand you tell me what business you have on my lands."

Inuyasha immediately pushed Kagome forward causing her to lose her balance. "She has something to tell you."

"EH?" Kagome looked back to face Inuyaha. "You're the one whose suppose to ask!" 'I can't believe he thinks Sesshomaru would listen to me. A human!'

"Well it was YOUR idea so it only makes more sense that you suggest the plan." Inuyasha had a victory smirk on his face.

"You know, Kagome, he does have a point." Sango stated.

Kagome inwardly groaned as she turned to face the demon lord who surprisingly was still standing there patiently. "Um... Good day L-Lord Sesshomaru." She addressed bowing with respect.

"Hn." was the only reply.

Taking that as a suggestion to continue she went on. "Um... You see we came here to ask for your help." She paused before adding, "With Naraku."

"Oh. And what makes you think I would help you?"

"Um... well..." 'He got a pretty good point.' Kagome thought. 'Why would he help us? I mean it is his hated half-brother's group.' She sighed to herself as she got ready to try to persuade him once more. "I don't... I just think it would benefit us all if we join forces to-"

"How will joining a group made of humans and a weak hanyou benefit this Sesshomaru?" Said demon lord turned away from the group and began to walk away. "I refuse your offer for I do not need it."

'Why that...' "Wait a minute!" Kagome had ran in front of the taiyoukai before her mind could comprehend anything. "Just because we're human doesn't mean we're weak! And have you forgotten the many times Inuyasha has defeated you. I know you're in search for Naraku since it's been rumored that he fled to the west. We ALL want to destroy that bastard but we need to find him first. By sensing out the Shinkon no Tama we'll be able to find him and since you know this land it'll make things twice as fast." 'Not to mention we are always being targeted by the creep'.

"Is that so?" Sesshomaru once again walked away but stop a few feet away. "One more thing," he said turning to give a cold glare towards Kagome. "If you ever speak to this Sesshomaru with such a manner again, I will not hesitate to rip your heart from your body." And with that the taiyoukai left leaving a very uneasy miko.

"Um... Kagome, are you ok?" the demon slayer asked when the young girl never moved from her spot. Kagome turned to give a weak smile to her friend before stating that she was fine.

Before Sango could say anything else Inuyasha decided to speak his mind. "I knew this would happen. Feh. Like that bastard would have listened anyway. To him everyone is weaker than himself. I'm just surprised he didn't attempt to kill you right away though I would have stopped him. Anyways this is what happens when you come up with such dumb ideas."

"Oh ho. So my idea was dumb you say?" Kagome crossed her arms in front of her and stared at the hanyou. "Well, excuse me for thinking we needed the extra help against Naraku. I didn't realize it would've been stupid to ask the one person that was as persistent in finding Naraku to help us. Would it have been better if I had maybe asked Koga' even though his strength doesn't match up to that of your brother. Better yet let's just find Naraku on our own so we can get our asses kicked for the millionth time!" Kagome then walked passed Inuyasha and without turning she yelled," SIT BOY! SIT, SIT, SIT!"

The rest of the group just shook their heads at the hanyou shaped crater before following the miko whose current thoughts were on the demon lord. 'Why didn't he kill me right away?'

Well that's it for chapter 1. all i can say is that it came out better than i expected. please review kindly. if you do critic my work let me know why or i will just ignore it. the next chapter will be posted next week... hopefully.
