I never knew that life could be so complicated.. -scratch that- life is way complicated. I mean if it weren't for that stupid Mistress Centipede I would be a normal teenage girl flirting, taking tests, shopping, and hanging out with my friends. Speaking of friends things aren't exactly going all fine and dandy right now. Miroku is currently unconscious on the ground for being a pervert, Inuyasha is stuck in one of his craters for refusing to rest and set up camp, and Shippou is sick with a bellyache from eating a whole box of chocolate. Yep, life sure was wonderful. I guess my previous plans for trying out a new game/experiment with them is out of the question. For now anyways…
"Kagome, do you happen to have some me-da-sin in your pack that can help Shippou?" Sango asked worried for the kistune kit in her lap.
"It's called medicine and, no I don't have any with me. I guess he will just have to learn not to eat so many sweets in one time. He is getting older." I brushed off he question not really caring. I mean, I love Shippou, but he needs to grow up and act his age. Okay, act mature. Either way he needs to not do stupid things, I'm getting tired of saving him from Inuyasha's clutches, though I still do it.
I sound like a total snob right now… Well I guess that's what happens after wandering around Feudal Japan for three years and almost getting killed a numerous amount of times. If my younger self were to hear what I was thinking now, I have no doubt that she would jump down he well, seal it, and never return.
Sighing aloud I looked to the setting sun, red and orange hues streaked the sky. A cool breeze caressed my skin warning me of the impending cold front. I smile at the air and set off to gather fire wood. Wandering the woods for sight of dry wood I find some.
"That was fast, it's even in a pile and everything." I remark coolly gathering the wood into a bundle against my chest. As I pick up the firewood I feel a strange presence behind me. I immediately stiffen and bring myself up so that I'm standing straight.
"Who's goes there?" I ask my nerves getting the best of me. Of all the times to forget my bow and arrows I just had to choose now. How irritating!?
Upon getting no reply to my question I feel my fear receding and being replaced by anger. I knew they were there and they're just going to ignore me? Hostile youkai or not you're supposed to answer a question.
"Okay… One more time and then I'm freaking going out there, finding you, and beating some lessons of manners and proper etiquette into you!!" I yell losing my cool.
Not really expecting a reply I jump from shock when a small demon child walks out from behind a tree. He was so cute! He looked like he was nine, long silver hair in a braid, golden eyes, two magenta… WAIT! Long silver hair and golden eyes?! Could this be Sesshomaru's son!? If only I could see if he had the crescent marking on his forehead!
"Hn. If you don't close your mouth you'll catch flies in it, stupid human." the boy said scowling.
"Nani!? Don't you talk to me like that young man! You may not be my son but, I swear to you if my kit were to say anything like that to me he would be punished. In fact I think you need a little punishment too! Just who in the He-world taught you how to be so rude!?" I yell pointing at him accusingly.
"Keh, like this Sesshomaru should have to answer to his brothers wench." he smirked turning to leave.
"Why you- Nani?! Sesshomaru?! You can't be!" I hollered. Seeing him wince I quickly cool down.
"Gomen. I didn't mean to hurt your ears." I apologize with a smile.
He turned back towards me and glared. "A mere human like yourself could never even hope to cause harm to this Sesshomaru."
I gasp at his audacity. His eyes were cold and innocent but they still felt like they were boring into my soul. I never noticed it before but, he's pretty cute, though I would never admit to it aloud. It's a shame he's so rude though. My mind kept wandering and I was finally pulled out of my thoughts by a stray pebble that just happened to bop me in the head.
"Ite.. That hurt you Baka!" I cursed under my breath. He may be older than me but to me he was a child and I refused to curse at a child, no matter how obnoxious he was behaving.
"Whatever… Just take your stupid sticks and leave. This is my grounds for the night." he ordered with a bored look on his pale face.
"Hmph! Fine, but if you happen to get eaten by an ogre when you're all alone by yourself just remember that I will be laughing at you." I said grabbing my bundle on the ground and leaving.

The moon was high in the sky as my companions and I planned and talked strategies and ideas that would help us when we were forced to go up against Naraku or his minions again. Shippou was sitting in my lap snoring whilst I just sort of sat there staring at the fire, ignoring the whole planning going on.
"ome… Kagome!" called a voice. I snapped up to see Sango looking at me with concern. Laughing nervously I tell her that I was just thinking about tests and sighed in relief when she seemed to by it. The rest of night went on like that until…
"Sessh… Sesshomaru!" I yell jumping to my feet earning a stare from my friends.
"Wench! What are you thinking of my brother about?!" Inuyasha growled.
"It's-" I was cut off by Miroku.
"Perhaps she has a liking of your brother?" he said with a perverted smile. He was then knocked out by Sango.
"That's not it! He's in trouble!" I yelled handing Shippou to Sango, grabbing my bow and arrows, and running into the woods in the direction of the two demonic auras.

"Die!" an ogre(told you so) yelled to the young inu as he swung his club at him. Sesshomaru jumped out of the way in time and extended his light whip smashing it into the side of the demon leaving a deep gash with oozing slime.
"Hmph… Even my ototo puts up a better fight than you." he chuckled.
Running onto the sight of the fight I gasp for the air I lost from the run. 'Sesshomaru…'
"You little brat!" the oni called once again attempting to crush him with his club. Seeing the incoming attack I couldn't stop myself. I dashed forward and screamed the only thing on my mind at the moment.
"Sesshomaru!!!" I yelled. That was a big mistake for the moment I yelled it Sesshomaru looked my way and lost his chance to dodge. The oni smiled as his club made impact with the back of the inu's head sending him flying my way.
"No!!" I cry dropping my bow and opening my arms to catch him.
The oni's smile only widened as he finally took notice of me holding the now unconscious dog demon in my arms. I swear in that moment that I saw red flash by my eyes. Putting the boy down gently I glare at the oni my right arm stretched out in his direction. Eyes once again flashing red a deep red ball of energy started forming at my hand. Sparks of what looked like lightning jumped out from it and it grew bigger to the size of a large boulder.
The oni's eyes widened with fear and he took one step back for every size it grew. Realizing that his death was inevitable he stood stuck in his spot from shock I presumed.
"Any last words?" I ask in a cold voice that could even make grown Sesshomaru's have a run for it's money.
Still stuck in place it asked, "Wh- Who are you?"
"Your worst nightmare.." I replied an evil smile plastered across my face. As I finished my reply I flicked my wrist and the ball of energy went crashing into the oni running right through him and making him burst into pieces. My eyesight went red again and I looked up to see Sesshomaru still unconscious. I quickly grab him into my arms holding him against me looking up to the sky waiting for a distant Inuyasha to arrive.
"Who am I?"
Seconds later an angry Inuyasha burst in through the woods into the clearing I had somehow created with my attack. Sango and Kilala came out too and stood stuck in shock with the damage. Inuyasha's eyes were fixated on me. Sighing I order them to come to me and look down at the little inu in my arms. Inuyasha stopped arms length from me looking at the boy in my arms.
"Who is that?" he asks.
With a smile I show him the child's face.
"Inuyasha, allow me to introduce your brother, Sesshomaru."

ME: Okay… I don't know where that idea came from
Inu: No kidding.
