Chapter 1

Kagome was starring out into space thinking of what happened to her the past few days. She recently found out the true nature of Sesshomaru. At the beginning she thought he was cold hearted he always started sword fights with his own brother and liked no one or nothing. But that was before she saw another side of him, different from the old Sesshomaru, but yet somehow still the same as the old one.

At first he seemed very distance, but she discovered another layer beyond that. She still remembered the day she finally saw a change in him, the day she found the real Sesshomaru.

They were battling another one of Naraku's demonic reincarnations. They were in the middle of a barren wasteland surrounded by nothing, but darkness. Before they knew it the ground collapsed from beneath them.

"Inuyasha!" "Kagome!" They yelled as they both got separated. After that, everything went dark. Kagome couldn't remember anything else, but when she woke up. She was covered in bandages. Well just her legs and hands.

The bandages on her hands didn't completely cover her injury. So she saw some of the skin hiding under the bandages. The skin on her hands were pretty badly bruised. They were almost a violet color.

If her hands were this bruised she could only guess what her legs looked like by now. But she didn't want to even begin letting her imagination get to her so she focused on the nature around her.

She looked at her surroundings. All she saw were trees connecting to a forest, a river, rocks sun's rays shinning down upon her. With nothing else to look at she asked herself an important she was just now beginning to wonder.

'Who wrapped me in bandages?' She decided look closer at her surroundings to find who was responsible for this. It was then she noticed someone up along the river.

She had no idea how she missed this person the first time she glanced around. But this person seemed to blend in with everything around them.

As she tried to stand up, her own weight collapsed beneath her. Her right ankle hurt when she applied pressure to it. She probably twisted somehow.

She tried to stand again, this time slower. This time she succeeded, but she ended up walking with a limp so she didn't injure her ankle any further.

She continued her journey a few feet up the river to who was standing there in full view. When she was close enough Kagome could guess who he was.

"Sesshomaru?" He gave no response what so ever and just kept giving Kagome that blank stare.

Then he handed her something to eat. It was cooked fish on a leaf. "Here." She took the cooked fish eagerly. Kagome was hungry and her stomach decided to remind her by making itself known with a low grumble.

She began to eat the fish as soon as it reached her hands. Sesshomaru remained there, watching the river contently. It was then Kagome noticed the way his long silver hair moved with wind.

He just seemed so calm. She just never saw this side of Sesshomaru, a side calmness. He emitted it like a vast ocean.

She couldn't believe she never noticed this before, but then again he was alaways preoccupied with Inuyasha and his Tetsaiga. He never showed an ounce of kindness to anyone, not even his own brother.

So why show any amount towards her? He bandaged her and fed her. Any stranger wouldn't give her the time of day let alone heal or help her.

After Kagome finished eating her meal, she didn't know whether to thank Sesshomaru for helping her or leave without showing a ounce of gratitude. Either way Sesshomaru probably wouldn't mind or care.

He most likely wouldn't respond to her so what was the point? Her time was better spent on searching for Inuyasha and the others.

But on the off chance he did respond to her thanks, she should hear what he had to say, if he said anything at all. And besides, it would be rude just to leave and not at least try to thank him.

Even if she tried searching for them, she wouldn't even know where to begin the search. She couldn't even begin to guess where she actually was.

But her manners got the best of her and she settled for being polite. She walked over to Sesshomaru. "Thank you." He said nothing in return. He didn't even bother to turn around.

It would be a lie if Kagome said she wasn't a little agitated right now. She was only trying to show some gratitude towards him and she didn't even receive one word in return.

Why even bother to show gratitude when someone won't respond to it at all. She was about to leave and try to find her friends by herself when he finally said something.

"Your friends went west." He turned around and looked in that direction. "Just follow the river." Well this was a surprise to Kagome. She never though he would talk to her. So she didn't expect him to help her either.

She tried to speak to him again, but it was no use. He was already headed in a different direction. A small smile made it's way across her face.

"Thanks…" she said this in a low whisper. She doubted he would even here her, but she was glad he had at least helped her. And it was the polite thing to say.

She began to walk in the direction he told her she would find her friends. She was still limping, but she was sure she could catch up to them. Since it was almost sunset by now they would have stopped to rest.

But the only thing on her mind right now was Sesshomaru. 'Why did he help me?' She never saw him help anyone or even dreamed he ever would. Sesshomaru was like a lone wolf, he was always alone and had no companions.

Kagome thought he wanted to keep it that way too. But why help her then? What was so different about her that help her and no one else? But there probably was no answer to her question.

She doubted this was just a random act of kindness either though. This just made no sense to her. If she saw him again she would ask, but he would just ignore her and her question.

Thinking of this led her nowhere. She was just even more confused than before. All she could do was bury it in the back of her mind for now. Besides, she had more important things to think about.

She had to help gather all of the shards of the jewel and defeat Naraku. In that order. So it would be a while before they could even begin to think of Naraku's weaknesses or how to defeat him.

She only had a few shards of the jewel. There was no telling how many shards were left to go. So she focus on the jewel itself for now. She could think about Sesshomaru's unnatural actions another time.

It wasn't long before she caught up to her friends. She had them to help her with the jewel and Naraku after all. So she was never alone. But that just made her think of Sesshomaru again.

Isn't it sad being alone all the time? How can handle it let alone want it? Her friends are always there for her, but Sesshomaru…has no one. No friends or anyone to depend on. What is like to be secluded all the time like that?

AN: Well there was my new story. I hoped you liked it. And got this idea from the song BFB by Victoria Justice. I just had to find the right anime (that I knew of) that went with the song. Inuyasha seemed to be the only to me that fit it perfectly.
