"Inuyasha, get the darn sword!" Kagome yelled. "If you can't hit him in the body, hit him in the ego. Hurt his pride!" Inuyasha smirked, great idea. Sesshomaru said nothing, just watched and listened to the girl and her talk. "I'll do it, just to see the look on your face." With that, Inuyasha walked over to the rusty sword and tried his best to pull it out, but nothing. Kagome wished she could take back her words now. Inuyasha was just as mad; now he felt like a fool. Sesshomaru had enough, he went after his brother once more.

Kagome fought with the toad, that stupid little green toad. Oh, how she hated that toad. Somehow the green toad pushed her back and she fell. Using the sword she stood back up only to draw it out when she saw that Inuyasha was about to be killed.

Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha gasped at the sound and sight. Kagome stood… with the sword, she pulled it out.

"Oops, sorry." She knew nothing good was going to come of this.

"Don't look at her, look at me!" With that Inuyasha attacked, but his brother was fast. When Inuyasha found him, he was a mere foot away from Kagome. He looked down his nose at her.

"What are you and how did you draw the sword?" He looked from her to the sword. He heard his brother call to leave her alone, but this was Sesshomaru. When he first noticed the girl he thought it funny, at least his father and brother picked descent looking humans. He did take note of how she did not fear him, she was a strange human.

"One step closer and I'll cut you!" As if she could, or the sword for that matter! He turned away from her, not worried and spoke to his brother, telling him that for some reason she was able to draw the sword… and that she must die. Inuyasha was not just going to hand her over. He might not have been thrilled about how she looked like Kikyo, and now he now had to travel with her to find the jewel she broke, but he was not about to let her die either, she was his friend.

"Kagome, give him the sword."

"No way! Why does he automatically get to keep it? If he couldn't pull it out, it means he's not supposed to have it!" Once again her voice showing she was not afraid. "He will have to come and take it." It was clear the girl had no idea just who Lord Sesshomaru was.

"You're only a human. So back off, shut up and butt out!" Inuyasha spit out, she was asking to get killed. Sesshomaru watched for a moment, taking in the sight. He stopped her ranting when he spoke. He stepped in front of her, blocking Inuyasha's view. Sesshomaru pointed out how Inuyasha protects her, indulges her and even seems to love her, how he must have got that from their father. He also pointed out that he had no such feelings for anyone, much less a human. With that, Sesshomaru buried her under the poison from his claws. She fell to the ground, sword still in hand, now under blanket of poison.

Once again the human girl shocked both men. She was only under the poison blanket for a mere minute before jumping out and yelling at Sesshomaru again. "Hey you! You tried to kill me, didn't you?!" She pointed the sword at him and walked to Inuyasha. "Don't think you're going to go and get away with it!"

Then Inuyasha asked the question, the question that Sesshomaru, though he hated it, knew the answer to. "Hey, how come you're not dead?" Inuyasha asked, looking over his not dead friend.

She didn't know, but he did. "The sword, that's what protected you." Sesshomaru was telling himself really. It all came to him, hit him like a rock. The sword belonged to his father, to protect his human mate. The sword would only work for the owner. If… if he had someone to protect. His fathers words rang in his head.

"Tell me, Sesshomaru, have you someone to protect?"

That's why he did not entrust the sword to him. He had no one to protect, he still has no one to protect. Still, he does not need such. He looked to the girl holding the sword once more. That mere human girl. She was not afraid, she pulled out the sword and the sword protected her. Then her words came back to him.

"If you cant hit him in the body, hit him in the ego. Hurt his pride!"

Sesshomaru smirked, he was not one for low life trick or trades, but this was too good to pass up. He could not kill his brother, and it would seem he could not kill her, so he would do the next best thing. First, he will hurt his brothers pride, her own words used against them. Then he would hurt her the only other way he knew how. Then the sword...would be his. His eyes went red and with a flash he knocked Inuyasha back and took in his place, grabbed Kagome hard by the waist, roughly jerked her so her head flung back and then bit down, Inuyasha screamed in the background. Kagome grabbed Sesshomaru's arms, dropping the sword. His bite on her neck burned, hurt like hell. Even after he removed his fangs from her neck and threw her to the ground, it was still burning. Kagome screamed out in pain, she could not even open her eyes, all she could do was scream and listen.

Sesshomaru sent Jaken with sword out of his fathers grave while Inuyasha ran to Kagome. "YOU BASTARD!"

Sesshomaru smirked and before he jumped out to leave. Kagome barely heard him say,

"Take good care of MY mate… little brother." With that, he was gone.
