"Sesshy give it back" shouted a little girl from the forest.

"No way kags its mine now" said an amuzed little boy.

"Come sesshy i found it first please give it ba-aack oofff the little girl shouted as she triped over a rock.

the little boy stopped quickly and ran to the little hurt girl "kags are you ok?" he said as he helped her up.

"No my ankle hurts alot" she said as she stood up gently "ow it hurts real bad sesshy".

"Here get on my back ill get you home" he said as he kneeled down to let her on. and so she did as she was told. they walked 3 miles before coming to a clearing. a tall man with long white hair in a long pony tail, he had light skin and dark brown eyes, a white warrior kimono with blue disgins on it sutied to his liking. he was a very handsome man indeed, the man came to them and stopped sesshomaru right where he was.

"My son what has happened to kagome?" asked the tall man as he kneeled in front of them.

the little girl smiled and said "I fell over a rock while i was running i didnt noticed it so thats why i fell and hurt my ankle, and sesshy helped my by carrying me so i didnt have to walk all the way here" said the little and a clamly yet nervous voice.

"Well then go ahead and leave her with yami she'll help her as for you my son come to my study once your done" said his dad as he stood up.

"Yes father" bowing carfully as to not drop kagome.

Inutashio smiled and then walked to his study thinking to himself "I have a feeling that wont be the only time he'll be protecting her, he has a fond with her yet he doesnt want to admit it, im thinking to much into this, i gotta stop" he then walked into his study and awaited for his son. sesshomaru gently sat kagome on the bed carefully not wanting to hurt her more then she already is. he looked at her sadly and then looked at the floor, kagome looked at him and smiled "its not your fault sesshy it was mine i wasnt looking where i was going please dont feel bad" she said as she leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. sesshomaru tried really hard not to blush then lifted his hand and gave her the item that she found back to her "Here its yours i shouldnt have gotten it, you found it so here" he handed it to her then left to go see his father in his study but not before giving her a great big hug and a kiss on the cheek and whispering in her ear "Im glad your ok" with that he left leaving a blushing kagome to herself.

Inutashio was reading a scroll when he heard a knocking on his door he put the scroll down and stood up "Come in" and so sesshomaru stepped in and closed the door the walked to his father and bowing "You wanted to see me father" asked sesshomaru.

"Yes my son please sit down" he pointed at the chair.

"Yes father thank you" he said as he sat down.

"Do you remember what tomorrow is right" asked Inutashio.

"Yes its the grand village festival" said sesshomaru.

"Well yes that but something else" said Inutashio.

Sesshomaru lookes at him in confusion "What is it father".

"It is the day kagome's father comes to pick her up remember he promised to pick her up on the day of the festival" he said.

"Oh yes now i rememeber, so kagome is leaving tomorrow?" asked sesshomaru.

"Yes she is id like for you to help her pack and get ready to leave, you will take her to the festival where her father will be waiting for you too by the well" said Inutashio as he grabed a book from the shelf.

"Will you be joining us father?" he asked.

"Of course he wants to ask me something so therefor i must go with you" he said as he set the book ontop of a pile of books on his desk. he then looked at his son and noticed he was staring at something. "My son what is wrong are you upset that kagome is leaving?".

Sesshomaru snapped back to reality "No father i was thinking of the festival" he was lying but his father kept to himself.

"Ok you are dismissed go check up on kagome" he said.

"Yes father" he stood up from the chair and bowed then left.

"Quite fond indeed" he said out loud before contining what he was doing.

Sesshomaru was about to enter kagome's room when the door opened and there stood kagome with a beautiful pink kimono with white flowers. he looked at her and thought she was the most beautiful creature on earth. he tried to talk but was left without words.

"Is something the matter sesshy?" she asked him.

"Yeah i-im fine wow you look great" he finally said.

"Thanks its for the festival tomorrow you really like it?" She asked him trying really hard not blush.

"Yeah you look great" he said.

"Well please come in" she said.

Sesshomaru walked in and leaned on the wall and looked around. he looked out the window when he said to her "So i take it your ankle is fine". "Yeah yami said im fine just to not put to much waight on it" she said as she sat down on her bed. "Im glad, well we must go to sleep we have an early morning so get some sleep" just as he was about to walk out he heard her ask him something and turn around "What is it kags" he asked.

"Are you going to miss me when i leave with my father tomorrow?" asked kagome hoping he'd tell her.

"Yeah im going to miss a bossy little girl following me around" he said as he smiled.

"Oh ok" she said as she looked at the floor sadly.

"Im kidding kags of course ill miss you and dont worry" he walked to her and sat on her bed next to her "I'll always protect you my little angel" with that said he left to his bedroom leaving kagome blushing like there was no tomorrow. "I'll always remember you sesshy al-wayss" she said as she drifted off to sleep.
