No, I do not own InuYasha or any of the characters.
Please, this is my first fanfic, so please review it! :)
"Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin jumped and dance next to the dai youkai, trying to get his attention. Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow, showing her that he was paying attention. "Lord Sesshomaru, look at what I found!" Little Rin opened her palm, reaching up toward Sesshomaru. He crouched down, meeting her eyes on the way. She smiled openly, in a way that only children can.
Sesshomaru looked down at the girl's palm to see a large, purple shard. Both his eyebrows arched, the only hint of his surprise. "Jaken," he said, beckoning toward the imp.
Jaken stumbled over, falling on his way. He got immediately, mumbling, "Y-yes, milord?" Then Jaken looked into Rin's hand. "W-why, milord, that is a sacred jewel shard!"
"Yes," Sesshomaru said, taking the shard from Rin gently. Rin smiled again, then skipped back toward Ah-Un, the two headed dragon.
"Well, what do you plan to do with it?" Jaken asked, following Sesshomaru at his feet. When no answer came, Jaken went back to Ah-Un and Rin, a little dismayed at his lord's silence. What did I expect? He thought.
That night, nearby, Kagome gasped. "What is it?" InuYasha asked.
"I sense a sacred jewel shard," she explained, getting up. "And, it's coming from Sesshomaru."
"What?" InuYasha exclaimed. His brother had no desire for any shards of the Shikon no Tama as far as he knew. "Wait, where do you think you're going?" InuYasha asked, watching Kagome get up and start walking toward the outskirts of their camp. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo watched with interest.
"I'm going to get it," Kagome said, stopping only to pick up her bow and arrows. "He's standing still nearby here. He must have smelled us out and come to give it to us. He probably doesn't want a fight." She looked over at InuYasha. "Which is exactly why you're not coming." InuYasha tried to argue, but she just glared at him, as if saying, I'll say 'sit' if you keep this up. "You guys don't get along. We don't need another battle."
"At least let us come, Lady Kagome," Miroku said. But Kagome shook her head.
"If we all go, then Sesshomaru might think we've come to attack. You just wait here with InuYasha. I'll be back soon." And so, Kagome went into the forest, was quickly enveloped with trees, and disappeared from even InuYasha's sight.
