Kagome was walking back to the village when Inuyasha finally caught up with her. "Kagome what's wrong with you tonight? Did Sesshoumaru say something to you?" `Gosh whatever that electric shock was has me paranoid'

"No I just was wondering why Sesshoumaru kissed me"

"I really don't know but that asshole better hope he doesn't do it again"

"Thanks Inuyasha" 'that kiss was real nice though' Kagome thought as her and Inuyasha got closer to the village, then out of nowhere Kagome was knocked over by a orange blur that not even Inuyasha could have stopped."Kagome! I've missed you so much" said the orange ball of fur atop Kagome's legs.

"Shippou I've missed you too"

Hearing a snort then "Well would you two just hurry up we have to get packed and ready to go to the Eastern Lands" from Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippou ran to catch up with him.

They finally made it to Keade's hut and everyone was happy to see Kagome again. "So Lady Kagome did you bring those chips that taste like onions?"

"Of course, and I got Shippou's chocolate oh and the chips are called Funyyans."

"What about me?" asked a pouting demon from her left.

"Oh sorry here are your potato chips." Kagome handed the bag to Inuyasha then looking at Sango smiling she handed her a yellow bag with red rectangle looking things, noticing the confused look on her face Kagome giggled "they're called hot fries, sorta like chips but spicier" Everyone thanked her and started eating their treats. Soon it was time for everyone to go to bed, Kagome laid out her sleeping bag and Shippou and Kilala both got in after she got in. While everyone was asleep, a shadowy figure was watching one of the companions.

The next morning everyone was packed and ready to go to the Eastern Lands except Kagome, she was still asleep."Goddamnit Kagome, get up!"

"Ugh, I'm up just stop yelling" Kagome was finally ready in 30minutes and so they were off on their journey. After a while Kagome started feeling like she was being watched so she stopped and turned to the direction of where she felt the eyes, she then saw two gold eyes staring straight at her, then…"Fuck man Kagome will you hurry up we don't have time for your daydreaming!" Then the eyes were gone and the last thing she saw was a flash of red."Kagome are you even listening to me?" "Um sorry Inuyasha what did you say?" "Ugh never mind just hurry up or we'll leave you!" Knowing that was a lie Kagome still ran to catch up with Sango and Miroku. 'I wonder if I was just seeing things and I'm just being paranoid or something, but I kind of hope that It was who I think it was.' The group made camp around 6:30pm." Hey Sango join me in the hot springs?"

"Sure, Inuyasha make sure Miroku doesn't follow us alright?"

"Feh yeah whatever" Sango and Kagome then went to the hot springs and started to get undressed. "Kagome what's up with you today you seemed distracted?"

"Oh it's nothing I was just thinking why must we go to the Eastern Lands just to get 1 jewel shard?" Kagome asked looking at the water then back up at Sango.

"Well it's not just one jewel shard, the Lord of the Eastern Lands has about 30, he's not going to use them so we're going to see if he'll give them to us."

"Oh alright just was wondering, here try this new shampoo that I bought."

"Alright thanks." They soon were finished with their bath so they got out to get dressed when once again Kagome felt like she was being watched, but this time she just brushed it off and started walking back to the campsite with Sango.

The next morning they were off towards the east once again. Around midday Kagome felt a tingle flow down her spine indicating that there was a jewel shard close by."Inuyasha there's a jewel shard about an hour away." "Alright let's go, if we hurry we can make it in 30 minutes." Therefore, Miroku, Sango, and Shippou rode on top of Kilala while Kagome rode on Inuyasha's back. Some 28mins and 55 secs later Kagome shouted "There it's down in that clearing!", nodding Inuyasha pulled back some to let Sango and them know where to land. "Alright let's land behind that tree"

"Alright, come on Kilala down there." As soon as they landed they were attacked by several snake demons, each on was as big as Inuyasha. "Inuyasha the jewel shard is in that huge snake… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Miroku looked over to Kagome when he heard her scream, the snake was about to attack her when he saw a white flash head towards Kagome and then smoke. Everything had happened so fast that not even Inuyasha knew what happened.

When the smoke finally cleared, they saw the snake obliterated and Sesshoumaru standing there with Toukijin drawn and Kagome in his left arm and his tail wrapped around her. "Sesshoumaru let her go!"

"If you would have been quicker this Sesshoumaru wouldn't have had to save her."

"Ugh what happened…?" `Hmm she seems to have fainted from exhaustion'

"Sesshoumaru-sama do you mind handing her to us?"

"That's if I can trust my damn half-breed brother to be more careful."

"Why do you care jackass?"

"That does not concern you"

"It concerns me if someone like you kisses her."

(Growls) "You should learn your place half-breed, Monk come here." Miroku then walked over to Sesshoumaru and he handed Kagome to him. "If something like this happens again I will have your head." Sesshoumaru spat and disappeared.

Later that night Kagome had finally woken up, feeling a bit put off by sleeping all day she started to cook ramen for everyone. Across the fire Miroku and Inuyasha were having a discussion about the day's events (Whisper) "Inuyasha you think we should tell Lady Kagome about what happened earlier?"

"No, it's not that important for her to know let's just rest and then tomorrow we keep going towards the Eastern Lords Palace, alright?"

"Alright, good night Inuyasha. (Louder) good night Lady Sango and Lady Kagome."

Everyone soon went to sleep, but one went to sleep with uneasiness in the pit of her stomach.

On the third day of traveling, they finally made it to the Eastern Lands so all they had to do was make it to the palace. "Inuyasha how much farther must we go?"

"Will you stop whining we're almost there alright" `don't cry, just don't cry'

The group only had a few hours to go before they reached the palace so Sango slowed down so she could talk to Kagome. "Kagome why didn't you tell me Sesshoumaru had kissed you the night of the new moon?"

"Because I didn't feel like talking about it right then"

"Oh alright that's ok, do you want to talk about it right now?"

"No, but how did you find out?"

"You two stop dawdling and hurry up we're almost there." They finally made it to the palace, but to enter they had to pass two guards. As they made their way to the guards, they saw someone pass through the gates and walk towards them, on closer inspection they could see the he was an inu-youkai with long flaming red hair that was even longer then Sesshoumaru's hair, he was as tall as Sesshoumaru and he had two yellow jagged stripes on each cheek bone with the same amber eyes, and a red triangle with yellow stars around the triangle on his forehead. He has features that look exactly like Sesshoumaru's except more warm than cold.

He then stopped in front of them and looked at each of them and his eyes landed on Inuyasha momentarily then he spoke. "Is there a reason for why you all are here?"

"Yes there is, we heard you hold 30 jewel shards right?" Miroku spoke so that Inuyasha wouldn't get the Lord angry by saying something, presumably rude.

"That is correct, where did you here this?"

"Are you the Lord of the Eastern Lands?"

"Yes that is I, I am Ryou."

"We were wondering if you could let us have those jewel shards since you are not interested in them."

"Are you working for Naraku cause if you are I will not and I must know the reason for why you want them, but how bought we discuss this over breakfast you all must be tired. Don't worry kitsune I don't bite." They then followed Ryou-sama into the palace to rest, they did not know that they had a special guest that was in the garden waiting.
