Note: Hi all. This is my first fan fic by my self. ^_^; I hope you all enjoy it. Just you all know I probably won't get all the chapters I've written until I'm further with it. Enjoy and review! Please and thank you. ^_^ Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inu Yasha characters. They all belong to Rumiko Takahashi. ^_^

"OsuwariOsuwariOsuwari!!!" Kagome yelled as the ever so familiar thump of Inu Yasha hitting the ground followed.

'Here we go again' thought Miroku as Kagome and Inu Yasha started arguing again. Shippo and Sango jumped in to calm them down. Shippo talked to Inu Yasha and Sango to Kagome.

"Inu Yasha," Shippo started, "Can't you be a little nicer to Kagome? If you don't she'll leave and she won't come back." Inu Yasha just shrugged, grunted, and walked on.

"Kagome," Sango started the same time as Shippo. "Don't you think you could be a bit gentler with him. I know he deserves it most of the time, but if you two can't get along we aren't going to get any where. Besides, I can tell how much you care for him. And I can tell that he cares for you too. Why else would he fight harder to win when you're in danger?" she pointed out. Kagome thought about it and watched Inu Yasha.

'Is that how Inu Yasha really feels? I wonder.' she thought.

"Are you guys coming or not?" Inu Yasha called out from a many yards away.

"C'mon Kagome! Sango!" Shippo called to them as he and Miroku caught up with Inu Yasha.

"Lets go Kagome," Sango said as she started to jog to the boys.

***************************************

'Sesshoumaru' Inu Yasha thought when he caught the scent of his half brother. He ran off to fine his brother. The rest ran after him. Kagome, however, didn't. She stopped when she heard a child crying in the trees nearby. She followed the sound. She soon found the source. Kagura was attacking a little girl. Kagome instantly pulled out her bow and an arrow. She took aim and shot the arrow at Kagura and she took flight on her feather. Kagome ran over to the girl to see if she was okay. When Kagome look at the girl's face she knew who it was.

"Aren't you the little girl that follows Sesshoumaru around? Your name's Rin, right?" Kagome asked. Rin nodded then threw herself into Kagome's arms and cried.

"I. I. I was so scared. Th. Thank you. for saving me." Rin stuttered quietly between sobs. Before Kagome could answer, Sesshoumaru stood before her, the Tokijin inches from her.

"Rin. Step aside." He ordered. She obeyed.

"How dare you hurt a young girl like her." Sesshoumaru growled. Kagome was about to explain when Sesshoumaru growled at her. So she kept quiet. He raised Tokijin, preparing to strike. As he started to swing Rin ran forward screaming.

"Wait Sesshoumaru-sama!" She stopped in from of Kagome, Arms spread out. Both Sesshoumaru and Kagome were shocked. Sesshoumaru stopped his sword just in time.

"Rin! What are you doing? Step aside!" Sesshoumaru demanded. Rin reluctantly stepped out of the way.

"But Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin started. "She saved me."

"Is this true?" Sesshoumaru asked Kagome, pointing his sword at her. She nodded.

"Kagura was attacking her. I heard Rin crying and drove Kagura away. Then Rin hugged me," she answered. Before either of them could say or do anything more they heard a yell.

"SESSHOUMARU!!! GET AWAY FROM HER!!" Kagome saw streaks of red and white as Inu Yasha attacked and his brother dodged. Kagome watched as they streaked past. Miroku, Sango and Shippo went over to her.

"Are you alright Kagome?" Miroku asked. She just nodded, keeping her eyes on the brothers. Miroku tried to pull her to her feet. She remained where she was until she saw Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru streak past towards Rin.

"RIN!! RUN!!" she yelled. Rin didn't move. Kagome jumped to her feet and ran in front of Rin just as Sesshoumaru attacked Inu Yasha and he blocked with his sword. Blood splattered the ground.
