Kagome walked aimlessly into the forest, and soon realized that she had lost her way, sighing she continued to walk in the direction that she was going...she couldn't get any more lost now could she? After what seemed like hours she reached a cliff and sat down dangling her feet over the ledge.

Kagome sat at the edge of the cliff tears streaming down her face. "Why? Why had Inuyasha chosen Kikoyu over her? What did that clay pot have that she didn't?" she thought. "Oh yeah Inuyasha s heart, right." She said out loud.

The images flashed into her head, He said he'd kill me for her, so that they could be together. Kagome frowned as the tears flowed even harder. She couldn't take this anymore, she couldn't deal with the pain, she just couldn't, she had chosen to stay with him to help find the jewel shards, but now she was regretting that decision. Kagome looked over the edge of the cliff and into the forest below her, she knew if she jumped off the edge, the fall from such a height would surely kill her, and if it didn't some demon would finisher her off. Smiling sadly Kagome got up and walked to the forest line and then spun on her heel, making a dash for the edge of the cliff.

Sesshomaru watched the young miko cry at the edge of the cliff. His stupid half brother had made her cry once again. He could hear his beast snarl at the thought of Inuyasha making her weep tears on his behalf. Though he did not wish to acknowledge his feelings for the human girl at first, as of late he had realized that he had fallen for the miko named Kagome a while ago. From the day that she pulled the Tenseiga from the stone in his father's tomb. Now he couldn't tear himself from her side. He saw her get up, her eyes swollen from her crying, and walked in his direction.

He took a step back, then she spun on her heal and ran toward the edge of the cliff. Sesshomaru didn't even think before he jumped off after her, catching the young girl in his embrace. He made his way down the cliff side, finally making down to the forest floor below. He looked down at the raven haired beauty that lay breathing in his arm. Her dark locks lay somewhat tossed over her face, making her pale skin shine in the moon light, her scent invaded his senses a mixture of rain and wild jasmine filled his nostrils. How he loved her, everything about her and how he swore to protect her, from any harm. She started to stir in his arms as he laid her on the ground, and walked back into the shadows.

Kagome opened her eyes to find herself still alive. "Damn how did I survive that fall it should have killed me. She cursed aloud. Oh well, better wait for some demon to come along and eat me."

Sesshomaru still in the shadows could not believe his ears. "She wants to die?" he thought, "But why?"

"I mean if Inuyasha finds me he would probably kill me just like Kikoyu wanted him to do." She sighed. Sesshomaru s blood began to boil at the thought of that half-breed slaying the woman that he loved. A low growl escaped his throat making Kagome look up.

Kagome rose to her feet looking directly at him, it had been during the day time she would have spotted him.

"Ok whoever you are come on out if you're going to kill me go ahead I m going to wind up dead anyway, so you'd be doing me a favor." She shouted.

"Miko you should not say such things out loud, because someone might just take you up on that offer..." Sesshomaru said walking out from behind a tree.

"This Sesshomaru wonders, why a miko such as you is alone in woods such as these unprotected, and looking for death." He said smiling.

"Like you would care." She huffed.

Sesshomaru chuckled, which surprised Kagome because he was always void of any type of emotion. "Amuse me then miko, it's not like you have anything better to do." He said in his usual cold tone. Sighing in defeat she knew he was right, plus he could kill her if she made him mad enough.

"It's nothing really just Inuyasha telling Kikoyu that he would kill me so that they could be together." She said with tears swelling up in her chocolate brown eyes. "After I have stood by him threw everything, plus I've never tried to kill him all I have showed him is love and he just repays me with heart ache over and over again."

"Then you are a fool." Sesshomaru said. "If he does not respect you then why do you stay with him? If he has this other priestess why doesn't she just help him find the shards of the shikon jewel?"

Looking down at her feet Kagome wondered why herself, but she already knew why it was because she loved Inuyasha, she loved him even though he did not return her feelings.

"Miko this Sesshomaru is waiting for an answer." He said eyeing her coldly.

"I guess it is because I love Inuyasha, that s why I stay with him."

" You love him, yet he chose a woman that has been dead for fifty years, and plans to kill you and you stand there in front of this Sesshomaru claiming that you love that hanyou of a half brother." He said making shivers run down Kagome s spine. "You are a bigger fool than I thought miko."

"What gives you the right to judge me Sesshomaru, you re being a hypocrite, if I recall correctly you tried to kill me yourself a few times if I'm not mistaken." Kagome said coldly.

Sesshomaru was taken back by the young girl's words, he had never tried to kill her ok maybe once but that was before he knew that he had fallen for her. Sesshomaru was enjoying himself by toying with this young woman, she certainly is amusing, Sesshomaru decided that he wanted to continue his little game as an evil thought came into his mind.

Sesshomaru smiled, "What then makes you think that you are safe now little miko? What makes you think that I will not slay you right now and be on my way?"

Kagome gave a sad smile, "If you killed me right now, it would be a blessing to me, so I would not die by Inuyasha's hands." She said her eyes full of pain and sorrow.

Sesshomaru caught his brother's scent in the wind and a plan soon formed in his head. Looking at Kagome he said "If that is what you wish miko I shall do it for you but I remind you, whatever I do is for my own personal gain, do I make myself clear miko?" Kagome just nodded at his offer, and Sesshomaru drew his Tokijin and brought his blade down upon the woman he loved.

*With the stupid mutt*

Inuyasha had grown impatient,(not that it is a surprise) and went looking for Kagome, the meeting with Kikoyu played in his mind, would he really have to kill Kagome? He didn't want to he loved her as well as he loved Kikoyu, and didn't want to lose her. Deciding that he would deal with that later he followed Kagome's scent and what confused him was that the scent of tears were mixed in with her sweet smell and one other thing puzzled him, Sesshomaru's scent was with hers, like they were near each other, the thought of Sesshomaru made Inuyasha s blood boil and hastened to find Kagome.

"Kagome please be safe." Inuyasha silently prayed.

Inuyasha soon came to the scene of Sesshomaru and Kagome talking, "What then makes you think that you are safe now little miko? What makes you think that I will not slay you right now and be on my way?" he heard Sesshomaru say and saw Kagome give a sad smile.

"If you killed me right now, it would be a blessing to me, so I would not die by Inuyasha s hands." She said her eyes full of pain and sorrow.

"Kagome knows." Inuyasha thought to himself, feeling as if ice ran threw his veins.

He heard Sesshomaru's voice again "If that is what you wish miko I shall do it for you but I remind you, whatever I do is for my own personal gain, do I make myself clear miko?" Kagome just nodded at his offer, and Sesshomaru drew his Tokijin and Inuyasha watched as his brother slaughtered one of the women he loved. He saw her give a peaceful smile as the blade tore through her body, and she fell onto the hard cold ground.

*back with Sesshy ^_^*

Cleaning his blade he looked at the woman that lay in a pool of her own blood her long dark hair blending in with the widening crimson pool that was spilt around her pale corpse, even in death she was beautiful. Letting the thought go he turned around facing the direction Inuyasha's scent came from

"Brother I know that you are there, come out and see what you have caused." He said his voice trying to hide his worry for the young woman. Inuyasha walked out of the tree line and looked at Kagome and sighed.

"So she knew, she knew that I was going to kill her, how did she know?" He said his voice laced with hurt and surprise.

"She came across you and your wench when she returned to you, her heart was broken and she wished that her death not lay upon your hands." Sesshomaru said coldly, "so Inuyasha now you can go and tell your clay pot that she no longer has to worry about Kagome for you saw that she was slain."

" But what am I going to tell the others, they will wonder what happened to her, and what of her body I cannot just let her lay here without a proper burial." Inuyasha said making a move toward Kagome.

"I will see to her, and as for your friends that is up to you Inuyasha for this Sesshomaru cannot help you there." he said turning his back to his half-breed of a brother.

Sighing Inuyasha walked away to find Kikoyu and tell her the news.
