Authors note: I'm so sorry for not updating in so long. As you know this is my first story and I didn't know what to do. Please feel free to give any ideas that you come up with. I will make sure that you get the credit.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. There is no money being made from my stories.

Kagome kept running through the woods blinded by tears. Her kit kept trying to get her to calm down before she hurts herself, but nothing seems to be getting through to her. There was really nothing for Shippo to do but hold on for dear life. Kagome knew that she had to stop, but she just couldn't do it. All she wanted to do was run until the pain went away, even if she had to run forever. It seemed as if the grief and the pain had distracted her from the possible dangers that lurked in the forest.

Her lungs were on fire. No matter how many times she considered stopping her feet wouldn't listen. She finally came to a clearing that was filled with flowers. She and her kit collapsed under an ancient looking tree. She had no idea why this place seemed to calm her, but at least the tears have stopped. "I'm sorry I kept us going so long Shippo, I just needed to get away." Shippo looked up at his mother. "Its okay mommy I understand."

He understood perfectly why she ran. Even though he's a kit he saw and felt the tension in the group. He had started to lose any love and respect he had for Inuyasha a long time ago. He kind of figured that Inuyasha was using her. He only wished he could have spared Kagome from the pain he caused. That's it. I'm going to make sure that no one else hurts my mommy. I know she will find someone to love. He came from his thoughts when Kagome gave him some potato chips from her bag.

After Kagome gave her kit a bag of potato chips she settled down for some much needed planning. The only problem we have now is to work out a way to get us somewhere to live, buy some food, clothes and a job. I suppose we can travel o different villages and help them with any demons that are plaguing them. At least there's something I'm good at. It's a damn good thing that I had Sango help me train in secret.

She still didn't understand why Inuyasha acted that way. It's not like it's the first time Sesshomaru came around the group. Why does Inuyasha have to be so insensitive? It's not like Sesshomaru came in a threatening manner. He didn't hide his sent or his aura from them. In fact it was so blatantly obvious he was coming you had time to make a damn welcome sign. He seemed troubled though, maybe he wanted my help with something. I hope nothing's wrong with Rin. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to her.

Sesshomaru, I don't know why I get so aroused when I'm around him. I just want to got up to him with no consideration for my life and kiss him until we're both dizzy. He's so damn gorgeous. I thought that I was hiding my feelings from him pretty good. I guess my scent must have given me away. No wonder Inuyasha went crazy. A chill went up her spine as she realized this. If Inuyasha can smell it then….. Sesshomaru… Oh my kami… He must have smelled it too. How the hell am I going to look him in the face now?

The whole time kagome was in her head, Shippo had time to finish his chips and drank some of the water that kagome had beside her. I wonder what she's thinking about. One minute she looks sad the next her whole face goes red. He wished that Sesshomaru was here. I know my mamma like him and he seemed to like her too or he wouldn't come to her for help with Rin all the time. Maybe he would treat my mom with respect.

Unknown to the little group a pair of golden eyes were watching the whole thing. Sesshomaru considered himself well disciplined and a master of his emotions. He can sit and meditate for hours on end, he can balance upside down on a needle for the tip of his fingers, he can roam for days without stopping and he can do many things. But for the life of him, he still couldn't figure out what about the miko intrigued him so much. Maybe it was he scent that draws him to her. It's as if he was walking under the sakura tree that he has at his castle, but it's laced with her power.

He hates to see her this way. The filthy half-breed has finally done it. He has driven away the most important thing in his life. Sesshomaru can't wait to rub his nose in it. He had long ago given up on tetsusaiga. The sword did not belong to him. He found a scroll that his father had left him explaining these things to him. Sesshomaru was upset that he had held on to so much anger at his father. Not only did he feel foolish, but he also feels disappointed that he couldn't apologize.

Sesshomaru shook his head from these thoughts. He put them at the back of his mind to ponder later. Now was the time to focus on his miko. His miko……it does have a nice ring to it. He decided to let his presence known to the little group.

Kagome had long since put off her thoughts. They had finally given her a migraine and she had to take one of the little capsules that Kiade gave her. She was drifting off when she was pulled back into consciousness by a familiar aura. She was reaching for her weapon when she realized it was…………..Sesshomaru……
