Kagome was sitting in the darkness in her hut ~Which is Keade's old hut~ watching Shippo sleep as tears filled her eyes, she didn't want to leave but she could no longer bare the sight of Inuyasha and Kikyo. She slowly stood and reached into her bag for 3 folded papers. Each labeled with a name for the person to read. Kagome took out Shippos letter and placed it on her pillow knowing as soon as he woke up he would discover it and since Kagome Had taught Shippo to read. he would be able to understand the letter.
She quietly walked out of the hut bare foot so should wouldn't make any unnecessary noise, Inuyasha may not have wanted to be with her but he wouldn't allow her to leave on her own.

She walked over to Miroku and Sangos hut, She quietly pushed the hanging door and placed the letters inside. She looked back to the sleeping couple and whispers with tears in her eyes "Goodbye, I love you both"

And with that She walked to the barn on the edge of town, put her shoes on and grabbed the strongest horse, put a saddle on it, secretly thanking Old Keade for showing her how to ride a horse. As kagome walked the horse to the edge of the woods, she looked back at the tiny village, whipped away her tears and climbed on to the horse, kicked the horse in to high gear and ran off in to the night.
~~~~~~~~~

The Next morning Shippo Awoke rubbing his eyes he looked toward Kagomes bed.

"Kagome?" Shippo asked as he found the note laying on her pillow.

The note said:
Dear Shippo, I am so sorry to have left you like this but we both know you would have wanted to come or begged me to stay. I really wanted to take you with me but as of now I have no where to go, but I promise as soon as I find a place I can call home I will send for you but for now I want you to go and live with sango, we will take care of you in my place. Please don't be mad at me, I could no longer bare the sight of Inuyasha and kikyo, my heart breaks every time I see them kiss, Don't tell anyone I have left just keep this secret to yourself, I sent Miroku and Sango letters as well, so they know too. Just know I love you and I will be back for you. but shippo could you do one last thing for me? Please use your fox fire and burn this letter, it was only meant for your eyes. so please burn it.

~Love Kagome

Shippo Read the letter over and over again, tears overflew his eyes 'Kaogme left me, all because of stupid inuyasha' he got up whipped away his tears and burned the piece of paper. once he was done with that he started to gather all of his things so he could move in with Miroku and Sango.

While shiopp was waking to read his letter Miroku and sango were doing the same.

"Sango look" Mirkou pointed to 2 folded pieces of paper

Sango walked over to pick them up "Looks like Kagomes Hand writing.. This one is for you Miroku, and this one is for me" she handed one labeled Miroku to him. as she read her own letter.

Miroku gasped as sango began to cry. "I wondered how long it would take kagome to be fed up with inuyasha" Sango said as more tears started to fall

"Can you really blame her for leaving" Mirkou said as he tossed his letter into the low glow of the fire

"Wait what did yours say" Sango asked as she watched as the paper crumble into ashes.

"She told me to protect the village and make sure to kiss you passionately every night" He winked at her and she blushed

"It did not say that"

"No she didn't but I'm still gonna do it" He smiled "Whats does your say"

"Well it mostly talks about how she can't be around Inuyasha anymore, how her heart tears more and more with everything look.. She told me Shippo will be staying with us for awhile, until she can find a place to stay, then she will send for him" Sango began to cry again, Miroku sat next to his crying wife wrapped his arms around her as he spoke

"Don't worry love, she said she would return for shippo and when that happens we will go with her if you want"

Sango smiled and whipped her face "She also told be to destroy my letter.. and not to tell anyone she left"

"Then we will respect her wishes and keep it between the 3 of us, and if by chance Inuyasha asks we will say we don't know"

"Sounds like a plan, now lets go it Shippo" Sango pulled Miroku up and began walking to Kagomes hut.

~~~0~~~~0~~~0~~~~0~~0~~~~

When they walked into the hut they found the small fox demon curled up in Kagomes pillow with one of her shirts wrapped around him

"Shippo" Sango walked over to the child " She will come back, she promised"

Shippo sniffled " I know, Stupid Inuyasha He ran her off, all because he feels sorry for kikyo so he stayed with her, and now Kagome is alone"

"She is a smart girl, she is probably resting in a village not far from here, or in a shrine to better her Priestess skills" Miroku added

"That might be true.. Kagome wouldn't leave with out a plan" Sango chimed in

"Maybe your right, I guess I should take my stuff to your hut" Shippo got up, grabbed his stuff and started to walk out the door towards their huts.

"Hold on Shippo" Sango yelled as she walked over and picked up Kagomes Pillow, blanket and shirt Shippo was just wrapped up in. "Don't forget this, she might want them when she comes back"

Shippos eyes lit up "Thanks sango" He continued walked to the hut, followed by the couple.

Kagome Had rode the horse all night until she was sure her old life was far behind her, she knew by now her friends had woken up and read her letters. the thought of that made her cry as she slowed the horse to a slow walk. She closed her eyes and the horse came to a halt.. while she was fighting back the tears she heard running water near by , she decided to give the horse a break, she guided the horse to the water, hopped off his back and stretched her legs.
Her legs were very sore from riding all night, it almost hurt to stand. she decided to lay under a near by tree, she dug through her small back pack and found 2 apples and decided to eat them before she left again. soon after her eyes felt heavy and she drifted to sleep.

She awoke a few hours later to a child's laughter, she quickly looked around for her horse, she finally spotted it a little ways down the stream, she noticed a little girl petting her horse and feeding it fresh grass.

"Rin?" Kagome asked as she got closer, a slight chill ran down her back as she realized Sesshomaru was near.. She always had a slight crush on Sesshomaru ever since she saw him, Maybe it was because he looked like Inuyasha, but then again the two half brothers look nothing alike. Inuyasha had softer features, he always talked before thinking, outburst left and right. and sometimes he was to honest. But his Half brother Sesshomaru was more masculine, he was quite, cold, clam and mysterious which slightly turned her on.

"Hello Kagome.. Is he yours?" she asked as she feed the horse more grass

"Well.. sorta.. I borrowed him for a little while"

"Ohhh.. where is the rest of your friends?" she asked while she looked around

"Well.. Umm.." She didn't know exactly what to say "I left them for a little while" she half smiled hopping the child would think she was happy about it. Truth be told she was happy to have left Inuyasha but sad about leaving her friends.

"Oh okay, can I ride him"

"I guess so" She lifted the child on to the horse's back "Hold on tight" She stepped back to grab the bridle to slowly walk the horse, Rin was giggling

"Faster, Faster" The little girl bounced up and down

"Hang on" Kagome went from a slow walk to a soft jog. the small child yelled and giggled in excitement

"RIN" a small green demon yelled as he gaped for air, obviously she had gotten away from him.

"Jaken-sama look at me" rin yelled with a big smile on her face

"Yes I see you, but you know better than to run off"

"But I wanted to see the horse"

"Okay but Sesshomaru-sama is going to be looking for us, and if we aren't were he left us he will kill me" The little green demon Look terrified

The sun was beginning to set as kagome pulled Rin off the horse. as waved with a smile as the 2 diapered in to the woods.

"Bye Kagome" Rin yelled

Kagome stretched again as she climbed back on the horse, she turned the horse around and began to gallop off to the south.

~~~~0~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~0~~~~0~~~0~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~

Back at the village Sango and Shippo were playing Rock paper scissor. Miroku was writing more Sutras as he watched them play.

"Hey" None of them looked to see who it was they knew that annoying voice anywhere "I said hello"

"Hi" Was all they said

"Whats up your asses today"

"Nothing" Miroku said as fast as he could with out seeming suspicious

"Yeah right, whats going on"

"Nothing Inuyasha, we are just playing" Shippo said harshly "Now go away"

"Hey, I just trying to be fucking nice ~He hit shippo~ and this is how I get treated, fuck all of you" Inuyasha flinched, then blinked a few times looking around "Where is Kagome, she usually Sits me when I hit shippo?" No on said a word "What the hell is going on around here"

Sango finally spoke up "Nothing that concerns you, now go back to where you came from"

"Answer my question where is kagome? she should be yelling at me" Inuyasha looked a little worried

"She is fine, Happy now" Sango snapped

"That wasn't my question, where is Kagome-" he was cut off by Kikyo

"Inuyasha Where are you" Kikyo yelled knowing he could very well hear her

"Im over here" He yelled back but she pretended not to hear him which pissed him off.

"Inuyashaaaaaaa" Kikyo yelled again

"Damn it women I know you heard me" He yelled as he walked over to their hut

"Stupid Inuyasha" Shippo whispered, Sango and Miroku nodded in agreement

Kikyo didn't really want him with her but she never like him anywhere near his old friends, she was weak and afraid they would talk him out of loving her cold clay body.
Especially since Kagome took the last of her soul from Kikyo a few months ago, she had to steal more and more Souls, which infuriated Inuyasha, but he said nothing because he promised he would stay with her.

~~0~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~0~~~~~~0~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~

It was dark out and Kagome was lost in thought when her horse started to act funny, it stopped and started to back up, she kicked it forward but it bucked against her

"Whats wrong" She tried to smooth the horse, she did not fell any demoniac aurora near by, at least none that posed a threat. She kicked the horse again and made a clicking sound with her mouth, and the horse began to walk again slow and cautious.

"Where are you going" A deep voice asked, she knew who had asked her the question, it sent chills down her body.

"I don't know" she answered honestly, she didn't really know where she was heading she just knew she had to get far away from Inuyasha

"Why are you alone?" The deep voice asked again and the horse bucked "Control that animal" He hissed

Kagome climbed off the horse and tied it to a near by tree and talked towards the voice. "Better?" she said sarcastically

"Much but you still haven't answered my question" The voice was cold

"Which question" She knew which one he was talking about but she didn't want to answer it

"Don't test me wench, Answer me now" the voice got closer

"Why do you care"

"Because you are on my land and I don't need you to die alone out here"

"I can handle myself" She crossed her arms

"Oh really?" faster than she could blink he was standing in front of her, his hand griping her chin

Her cheeks flashed hot red, he had never been this close to her before. She struggled to think

"Well?" he asked impatiently

"I left" she finally gave in and told the truth.

"Left" is face held his clam cold look but she could see the confusion in his eyes..

He always thought she would stay by his idiotic half brother side.. Every time he saw the Raven hair beauty his brother was always 2 steps behind her unless he was with the clay pot also known as Kikyo. Then he would leave Kagome in a heartbeat to go see the clay pot but Kagome would always forgive him for running off. She never deserved how he treated her.

"Yes I couldn't be around Inuyasha and Kikyo anymore" Kagome wanted to take the words back as soon as she said them.

"I see" he let her face go "So are you just running away, your not one to run away-" Sesshomaru was cut off my Kagome

"Im not running away" Kagome snapped at him

"Then what do u call this" He gestured to the horse then back to her

"Well.. ummm" She didn't know what to say and he chuckled at her studdering " Well Why do you care anyway" Kagome blushed bright red

He figured he would be honest because she probably wouldn't believe him anyway "Well.. I worry about you"

She blinked, she never thought she would hear those words come out of his mouth "Really?" She blushed even deeper

'Whoa she believes me?' he thought to himself

After a minute of saying nothing she knew it was to good to be true "didn't think so" she sighed and started to walk back to her horse but before she could take two steps, he growled, grabbed the top of her arm and yanked her back.. she was standing about 3 inches from his face, She couldn't breath.

"Do you really think I'm that cold" he asked while staring into her eyes

She tired to remember how to breath "You've never showed me anything other than your cold, hateful self" She narrowed her eyes

"You don't look close enough, but I guess I can't blame you.. you were always stuck up Inuyasha ass"

"Excuse me" She tired to pull away but she didn't move, he held her tightly but not enough to hurt her

"I said I wouldn't blame you" He smirked

"Why do you always have to be mean" She blinked a tear

"why are you always around him" he spat the last word

She opened her eyes only to be captured by his. 'could this really be happening, was I barking up the wrong tree? could I have been attracted to inuyasha because he resembled Sesshomaru in ways' She thought while gazing into his smoldering eyes

"I-I'm not around him now" She said nervously

He smirked "I see that" He let go of her arm only to grab her chin, he slowly started to pull her to his lips.

Her heart started to race 'Oh god, This is happening! is he really gonna do this, Oh god I hope he does' She closed her eyes as his nose touched hers, she could feel his breath on her lips, he was so close, she wanted to push her face into his to hurry it up, the suspense was killing her. she felt his bottom lip brush hers and then

"SESSHOMARU-SAMA"

He growled and pulled her face away

'WHAT THE FUCK! NO NO NO COME BACK!' Kagome was screaming in her head, but kept her face calm.

"Yes Rin" Sesshomaru asked as he backed away from Kagome

"Where did you go Sesshomaru" she asked with a smile "KAGOME" She squalled " How did you find us"

"Actually Sesshomaru found me" Kagome said as she side stepped from Sesshomaru "But I have to go now"

Sesshomarus head snapped towards Kagome then back to the woods

"But..but you just got here" She whined

"Rin" Sesshomaru snapped

"Yes?" she asked calmly

"Where is jaken and Ah-un?"

"Asleep" she snapped back "I got bored and saw you were gone"

"what have I told you.. you do not leave Jakens side"

Kagome was slowly stepping backwards to her horse as the two fought

"Rin go back, Jaken is probably worried" Sesshomaru heard a twig snap under Kagomes left foot "Where do you think you going" He looked at Kagome

"I was gonna let you take her back to your camp" Kagome thought of a quick lie. she really wanted to stay but the moment was ruined by Rin. She was as bad as Shippo for interrupting.

"Stay" he ordered and turned back to rin "Now go, I will be there shortly"

"Okay" Rin smiled and ran back off in to the woods

"Are you sure you shouldn't take her back" she watched as rin disappeared in to the woods "She could get lost"

He sighed "Jaken is no far behind. he will soon catch up to her soon."

"Oh okay, well I gues-" She was caught off By Sesshomaurs lips smashing into hers, the butterfly's in her stomach were like a tornado, her knees went weak as Sesshomaru wrapped his arm around her back as the other tangled in her hair pulling her in closer ((Yes he has both arms, I like him better with his arms))
As the kiss deepened, she parted her lips do she could feel his tongue, he gladly thrusted his tongue in her mouth. she wrapped her arms around his neck, she was barley standing on her tiptoes, she forgot how tall he was. She came up to inuyasha Chin but she barely reached Sesshomarus shoulders, she felt like a little kid standing next to him, but his height slightly turned her on.

He could smell her arousal, oh how he wanted to jump her hear and now, just rip her clothes off and take her. but he knew he couldn't, not right now. She paused her boobs into his chest,hopping he would get the hint that she wanted more. But he pulled away.
Kagome Gasped for breath, that was the first time a man has kissed her like that. Sure she had kiss inuyasha but that was only to bring him back from his dark side, and in the process she had 5 puncher scars were her gripped her arms to hard.

"You must go now" he told her she blinked a few times

"What" she asked with confusing eyes 'do I have bad breath' Her heart stopped

"Just continue the way you were going, I'll met you again soon" He turned to walk away

Kagome stood and watch him walk away.. He started to tear up but before one could fall down her cheek she stopped and thought 'Good, I don't need any one from that family' she huffed and jumped on her horse, and kicked it into high gear, the forest was rushing past her in a blur, she was pissed, sad and confused. 'why did he kiss me? was he just testing me? That ass was probably just using me since he can't have rin yet'

"Great First Kikyo now Rin" she whispered to her self "When will I learn" A tear fell down her face, she whipped it away "I don't need to cry for those Inu-basterds" She said angerly as she kicked the horse to go even faster

After a few hours of running Kagome could see the sun coming up, she decided to take a short break, She was starving and was sure the horse needed it as well. She slowed down to a walk and listed for near by water, she heard a water fall no to far from where she was.. When she arrived to the waterfall, she climb down her horse and lead it to the waters edge, as it began to drink she figured it would be a good time to clean herself up, She tied the horse up, and walked into the water, it was freezing, but it was close to dawn so she knew it would be cold but it had to be done. she walked into the waterfall shuddered at the cold water.
Her nipples became hard from the cold water running over them, As she washed her body she thought of Sesshomaru, Subconsciously she wanted to bath for him , next time it could go farther than a kiss, and she wanted to be ready. She smiled that that thought.

she finished rising her hair, she walked back out of the water and dug through her back, since she had been stuck in the Feudal Era for a while now, he supplies have drastically dropped, she had one towel left along with 1 bar of soap, one spare Priestess outfit, a few vegetables and a very old razor she only used for emergency. as she wrapped the towel around her body, as she sat on a nearby rock letting her hair dry, she didn't have the energy to get dressed, but she knew she would have to before she fell asleep, so with a long sigh she got up grabbed an orange from her bag and put on her priestess, which she hated because she looked even more like Kikyo. she shook those thoughts as she leaned against a tree, finished eating the orange, then closed her eyes, for a quick nap.

~~0~0~~0~0~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~0~~~~~

Sesshomaru told Rin and Jaken to stay, he told them that there was danger around to they would stay still and not come after him. He could hear the thuds of Kagomes horses hoofs when they hit the ground, he could tell he was picking up the pace. He ran after her but stayed far enough she wouldn't noticed him. but he couldn't help but pick up the pace when he heard her talking to her self " Great first Kikyo now Rin.. When will I learn" He could smell her sadness, his face fell 'She is so emotinal and clues less' he thought until he heard " I don't need to cry for those Inu-basterd" He smirked at her words.
He could hear the horse slowing down and eventually stop. so he skidded to a stop and listed to see what she would do.

'What are you doing' the thought as he listened for kagome to move again "come on" he demanded

He finally heard her horse move again towards the waterfall he ran ahead to met her there, but as he hid behind a tree he couldn't help but watch in amazement as she undressed and entered the water, he watched with a open mouth as her nipples became hard, he felt his cock twitch as she began to rub soap all over her body, he watched as she rubbed her breast softly, then her stomach, then finally she slid two fingers down between her legs, as she moaned softly. He felt his cock standing proud almost to the point of painful.
he watched as she walked out of the water and bent over to her bag. He couldn't help but bring his hand to his cock and began to rub it, he needed to be released but he wasn't going to do it here. he didn't want to accidentally say her name. because he was close enough for her to hear him. so he would wait until later.

He heard Kagome Sigh and get up, for a second he thought she had found him out, he stood frozen to the tree, as he watched her get dressed and eat a sweet orange then slowly fall asleep against the tree. he had to fight the urge to walk over and cuddle up next to her, smell her sweet aroma, taste her sweet skin again. he was trusted from his daydream when he smelled a demon headed towards his dark haired beauty who was sleeping. he decided to find and kill the demon before she was woken up by it, he took of to the east to find the demon.
Went he reached the open field that the demon was about to enter he realized he knew the scent, Sesshmoaru couldn't help but let a small growl rumble in his chest.

As the Demon Came into view Sesshomaru Calmly waited for him, eyes closed.

"Your in my way" The rough voice said

"You need to turn around" Sesshomaru said eyes still closed

"Hah, you don't even know where I'm going so how could u know I need to turn around" He smirked

"Leave now" Sesshomaru orderd

"Make me"

Sesshomaru took a step forward poison claw ready..
