Chapter 1- Choosey Lover
"INUYASHA!!" Kagome screamed as he was thrown into a near by Tree.
"Naraku You Bastard You'll pay for that!" Inuyasha Growled Grabing his sword and Rushing to the Foul Half Demond.
Naraku Chuckled evily wraping a tentacle around Inuyasha's neck and slinging him to the ground once again.
"Inuyasha ... "Kagome Mumbled with her hand close to her chest ,concerned for her friend.
"Will you be quiet already Girl. Calling his name will not Help him!" Kikyo grumbled.
Kagome cut her eyes at the dead wench that walked past her. "No one Asked You Clay Pot." she Growled.
"It really doesn't matter.Nothing you say matters...you're nothing but a reincarnation ... a cheap copy of something you'll never be." Kikyo boasted flashing Kagome one of her famous bitter smirks.
Fighting the urge to roll her eyes, Kagome shot an arrow killing a few demons that were attacking.
"Like I'd ever want to be anything like you!"She yelled. Her anger rising from the past insults Kikyo has made since she'd joined the group a week ago.
Her life had been nothing but hell since. Inuyasha hardly ever spoke to her except for scolding her about everything which wasn't her fault.
And it was all because of Kikyo, the cold clay bitch that never seemed to stay dead.Kagome was pretty much fed up with her along with the rest of the gang(except a certain Hanyou.)
"Hiraikotsu"Kagome heard Sango Cry before a large boomerang bone flew behind her slaying a demon.
"Pay attention Kagome!We'll deal with her later!"Sango yelled causing her to flinch.
"My Bad Thanks Sango!"Kagome replied only to receive a quick nod before the Taija and Monk road off on Kirara.
She looked forward to see Inuyasha wrecklessly run to Naraku swinging Tessaiga like a mad man , while Naraku laughed toying with him to make him angry.
"Funs over. You have Bored me so die INUYASHA!" Naraku roared while steadying his tentacle for a surprise attack.
Both Kikyo and Kagome noticed Naraku's tentacle diving for Inuyasha's back, but unlike Kikyo ...Kagome helped him.Just before the tentacle grazied his back she shot an arrow sending it to ash.
Naraku eyed the troublesome with a glare.'Why does this weak human Girl be so annoying?Why Must she continue to disrupt his plans?WHY DOESN'T SHE JUST DIE DAMNIT!' Thought the evil Hanyou.
"Stay out of this human!"He ordered.
"Make me Hanyou!"Kagome snorted.
"oi Wench!"Inuyasha yelled obliously offended.Kagome sweat dropped and immediatedly apoligized focusing on the battle around her.
Kouga,Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha all were occupied by large amounts of demons. Kikyo However wasn't being attacked at all.
'How strange.' Kagome thought.' I don't trust her at all'
Using his connection to Kagura Naraku told her to attack Kagome on his say. Kagura nodded her head as she floated high above them on her feather.
In one quick motion Naraku aimed a few tentacles in Kikyo's direction with a wicked smile.Just as he expected Inuyasha forgot all and leaped to her rescue leaving his other Miko unattended and open for attack.
After receiving a small smirk from Naraku, Kagura quickly leaped off her feather to stand infront of Kagome.
"Ready to die?"she asked calmly; her fan hiding her wicked smile.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY KAGOME YOU WIND WITCH!"Kouga threatened from afar.
"Your fight is with me Wolf."a demon snared while blocking him from protecting Kagome.
Kagura slightly rolled her eyes at the wolf prince before once again eyeing Kagome.
"Oh no you don't."
Kagome notched her arrow, preparing to shoot.
In one quick motion Kagura lifted her fan and released powerful wind-blades toward Kagome knocking her of the edge of the cliff they were battling on.
"INUYASHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"Kagome Screamed in both pain and fear as she flew off the ledge. 'So this was the end.This was her destiny?Was she supposed to die this way?'
Whirling Air was all she could feel besides the sharp pains from the deep cuts along her chest area.
Inuyasha lifted from his position on the ground ontop of Kikyo, his ears tweaked and his stomach felt heavy.Kikyo smiled beneath him 'So Naraku finally decided to kill that annoying bitch.' she thought snuggling closer to him.
"KAGOMEEEEEE!!!"Inuyasha yelled only to hear silence.
"And a red one, Green one, blue one , pink one!" Sang the cheerful girl as she picked flowers, "all for milord Sesshomaru!"
"Hush Child refrain from punishing me any longer with that endless chattering!"Jaken groaned sitting beside Ah-Un watching as Rin picked flowers as usual.
"Jaken-sama?" The Young girl asked the green toad-like creature. "When will Sesshomaru come back to Rin."
"Foolish Girl!"Jaken spat. "Lord Sesshomaru will come and go on his own will.And he definitely won't be coming for a lowly human like you! I don't see why he brought you along so far anyway you're just a burden he will get rid of soon."he continued ignoring the small frown on the Girl's face.He mentally smiled at her pain; it was great to see the girl in such a miserable state compared to her usual cheerful one.
"Jaken."A cold emotionless voice came from behind him. The green imp jumped in alarm then smiled when he seen Sesshomaru coming out of the woods.
"Milord you have returned!" he squeaked. "Where have you been Milord and why leave me with this damned human child for three long days!-Owww!"Jaken squealed holding his head after being pounded on it.He glanced at Sesshomaru only to receieve the death glare.
"Forgive this lowly Jaken!He knows not what he said!"Jaken bowed shaking in fear.
Sesshomaru flipped his long silver hair and turned to Rin who stared in awe.
"What is it Rin?"He asked.
"I picked these for you Lord Sesshomaru."She Smiled toothfully.He gave her a small nod as she handed him the flowers.
'What am I going to do with these?' he thought with his face still emotionless. 'Why does this girl like flowers so much?I just don't understand it.Maybe its a human thing'
A small tug on his pants brought Sesshomaru out of his thoughts; he looked down to meet deep brown eyes full of emotion.
"What is it now?"he asked sharply. 'Hopefully not more flowers'he thought
"Um... can Rin go play in the stream?Rin wants to catch fish."She pouted.Sesshomaru mentally smiled amused by the look on her face.
"Jaken you will take Rin to the stream" Sesshomaru stated coldly.
"Yes Milord.Wait for me Rin!"The green toad shouted following the girl.
With Inuyasha's gang
"Until we meet again Inuyasha!"Naraku chuckled while being carried away by a cloud of his miasma.
"Damnit Naraku!"Inuyasha yelled watching as he dissapeared."Kagome..."he whispered; his voice trembling as he looked over the high cliff only to see a rushing river many feet below.
The others quickly ran to his side as he kneeled on the ground his fist balled into his palms to the point he was bleeding.
"Did she-."Kouga started before his throat became dry, he no longer could finish his sentence ... he didn't need to.All understood where his words were going.
"Yes she did."Inuyasha noded his bangs covering his eyes in shame.
"NO!"Sango yelled dropping to her knees in tears. "She couldn't have.I can't believe it!Not Kagome"She sobbed into Miroku's chest as he held her.
"Kagome..."Kouga whispered tears prickling his eyes."You stupid mutt you were supposed to protect her Dog Shit!"he yelled ready to kill him until the certain smell of grave yard soil hit his senses.He Narrowed his eyes as Kikyo walked over to the group with no emotion.
"Its not Inuyasha's fault the wentch couldn't protect her self.She was weak therefore she deserved to die!"Kikyo Spat rubbing Inuyasha's shoulder.
Inuyasha only hunched his back in silence.Sango angrily stood and stormed over to Kikyo slapping her as hard as she could.
"You BITCH!How dare you say that when you're dead!"Sango yelled grabbing Kikyo by the collar and shaking her.
"Sango stop it!"Inuyasha yelled snatching Kikyo away from her grip.Kikyo smiled at the shock look on Sango's face.
"I might be dead,but I'm here now ...where is she?"She questioned bitterly.
"Kikyo Don't say such things."Inuyasha softly spoke.
"Its true Inuyasha.You promised me you only loved me ,but you didn't want to hurt her.Now that she's out of the way we can be together."Kikyo whispered happily nuzzling the crock of his neck.
"You're wrong Lady Kagome is strong I'm sure she survied."Miroku argued.
"How foolish of you to put so much faith in a young naive girl."Kikyo muttered.
"I'm with The monk."Kouga half smiled, "I know my kagome and she's a fighter lets go search for her."he ordered running ahead of the group who quickly followed close behind him.
"Come on Kikyo."Inuyasha whispered leaning down so she could climb on his back.She shot him a dirty look,but he ignored it.
'I got to know ...if shes alive.' he thought taking off into the woods.
"Let's go Master Jaken."Rin ordered.
The sun finally started to set tainting the sky with a beautiful mixture of colors. Rin grabbed her catch for the day and happily began to walk out the water. 'Sesshomaru- sama will be so proud of Rin.' she thought with a cheeky smile on her face. The green imp arose from his long nap and sighed walking to the girl's side. He had been up for the past 3 days watching her; restless and annoyed.
A sudden splash from the stream caught both of their attention,and they turned back to see a body of a woman floating across the stream onto a rock.
"Inuyasha's wentch."Jaken grumbled with distaste.
"Thats K-Kagome?"Rin asked.Worry spread threw her body when she received a nod.
"We have to save her!"She stated.
Jaken folded his arms into his chest and turn away stubbornly.
"Why should we?She's the enemy!She deserves to die!"Jaken spat walking away.Rin huffed loudly.
"LORD SESSHOMARU!!!!!!!!"She screamed as loud as she could.
The scent of fresh roses and peaceful waterfalls filled his nostrils as he laid under the shaded tree.
His perfect long silver locks fluttered behind him shimmering in the sun light.
'That smell is familar.' he thought inhaling deeply. It was a very relaxing scent and he new only one person who held it.
The one person he'd tried to kill numerous times yet continued to breath. The most defiant and loud human he'd seen, who carried a firey spirit.
its Inuyasha's wench ... that human miko... she smells nice' his inner beast purred.
'I don't smell the baka anywhere near so why would that woman come so far without my idiot half brother?' Sesshomaru thought ignoring the constant purs of pleasure from his inner beast.
'Maybe she left him.' his beast replied.
'No I smell blood ... she must be hurt.' Sesshomaru decided. ' figures' he thought. ' That Weakling never could protect anything'
'mmmm maybe you should help her ... she might give you a small reward return' His Beast teased. Heated thoughts suddenly crossed his mind leaving the taiyouki of The Westernlands in shock.
'You will stop this at once!' Sesshomaru ordered angrily.
"LORD SESSHOMARU!!!!!!!" He heard a faint voice scream from afar.
His eyes flashed red for a moment sensing danger before turning back into their usual Golden amber pools. 'Rin is in trouble... Save the ward!' His beast growled.
Sesshomaru rushed threw the woods toward Rin's smell only to be greeted by a crying young girl hugging his leg.
"What happened Rin?"A cold voice asked as he pressed his hand on the top of her head gently.
"You got to save her Milord! ... La-Lady Kagome will die!Rin doesn't want her to Rin likes Kagome... shes nice."She cried holding his leg tightly.
"You will let this Sesshomaru go now Rin." His cold emotionless voice replied. The Taiyouki looked behind her to see Jaken hiding behind a rock in fear.
"Jaken!" He called.
"Y-yes milord?"
"You will take Rin to camp.I will return tomorrow."
"Y-Yes Milord. Come on Rin."Jaken Stuttered ushering the girl away from Sesshomaru's Hakama.Without another word Sesshomaru continued to walk toward the stream.
