Chapter Three

A/N: I have nothing to say other than enjoy!

-Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday-

Kagome was running towards Sesshomaru. For some odd reason he had a few shards, she always thought a powerful being like him didn't need them but clearly he changed his mind.

'What would he of all people need the shards for?' She thought as she skidded to a stop at the edge of a clearing, hiding behind a tree. She peeked around the wide tree and spotted his group. Rin running around Jaken while throwing flowers at him, though she was only nine she still had that energetic spirit. The sight made her smile.

The smile was wiped from her face as she was grabbed by the throat and tossed across the clearing. She hit a tree and winced as she felt her back throbbing in pain but she merely stood. She watched as Sesshomaru walked towards her in such a graceful manner even with a unnoticeable frown on his face.

"Who are you?" He questioned as he picked her up by the throat and slamming her against the tree he tossed her into. Kagome merely took a glance at Rin and Jaken as they stood next to the two headed dragon looking on in shock.

"I mean no harm. I was simply going to ask you politely for the shards that you surprisingly have." She told him, ignoring his question, as she struggled to get his hand off her throat but her attempts were futile against him.

She was surprised when he let go and she dropped to the ground. She rubbed her throat and glared up at him. She slowly stood and kept her green eyes on his golden ones as she told him her identity.

"I am Kagome. The miko who travelled with your half-brother, Inuyasha." She told him as she watched him closely; not knowing how he would react but she still didn't fear him.

-Let rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday-

The group was running after the scent of the kitsune demoness. They had to admit she was fast and they had a pretty hard time catching up to her but when they did, they didn't expect her to be with Sesshomaru of all people or the fact that he was talking to her too. They stood at the end of the clearing, eavesdropping on the demons.

(A/N: Italics is Kagome speaking and the regular font is what the group is seeing and thinking, you get it.)

They saw Sesshomaru holding the demoness against her throat against a tree while she tried and failed to remove his hands. They saw her speak once more.

"I mean no harm. I was simply going to ask you politely for the shards that you surprisingly have." They all held in their gasps when hearing that the Lord of the West had shards himself when he claimed that he did not need it. Claiming that, "I have no need for it."

The group watched as Sesshomaru dropped the Kitsune on her bottom while she glared up at him with angry green eyes. They all crept closer but did not reveal themselves from their hiding space.

"I am Kagome. The miko who travelled with your half-brother." The demoness they were hunting told him as she was their friend from the future. They all looked at one another and then at Kikyo. Surely the undead miko knew it was her, she is sharing a soul with the girl.

-Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday-

"No, that girl is a human miko, you are a Kitsune demon. Do not lie to this Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru growled as he narrowed his golden eyes at the woman who claimed herself as Kagome. He knew for a fact that the girl was human.

"I do not lie. Do you smell the lie? I am speaking the truth mi'lord." Kagome respectively told him as she looked towards the forest. She glared before she turned back to the Young Lord.

"We could continue this sometimes later mi'lord but it seems that we have some guest." She whispered with a twinkle in her eyes. Sesshomaru glanced down at the demoness and gave her a subtle nod. She took out her whip and lashed it at the forest.

Sesshomaru was surprised when it stretched and when he heard a screech of pain from the forest. It was obviously a woman and he knew it was Inuyasha's undead woman. He looked boredly as his half-brother rushed out while his group came out behind him.

"There isn't a way in seven hells that you're Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he lunged at Kagome. He wasn't going to intervene and decided to watch and see what she was made of.

"Inuyasha!" Kikyo shouted in pain as she clutched her arm that had been dislodged from her body and catching the attention of everyone in the clearing. Inuyasha stopped mid attack to see what had caused his true love distress.

Everyone noticed how the demoness ceased her attack. They all saw her eyes tear as she looked at their hanyou friend sadly but it was quickly replaced by anger as she wrapped her whip up in a circle before turning to walk away.

"Wait!" the demoness stopped at the sound of Miroku. Every held their breaths as he ran to the demoness who stood with her back towards them. They watched as the monk put his hand on her exposed shoulder.

"What?" Kagome hissed as she turned her head, looking at him from the corner of her eyes. Miroku turned her fully around and stared intensely into her angry green eyes.

"Say it." He whispered in awe. Kagome shook her head before tossing his hand off her shoulder.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She told him but he knew the way her eyes darken that she wanted him to keep her mouth shut. But he needed to know or he, Sango, and Shippo would be unknown to the fate of their dear friend and closest family.

"Please say it, you know the word I speak of," Miroku told her with his voice low. They stared at each other's gorgeous unique eyes before she turned around once more. Miroku's shoulders slumped in defeat.

"Sit." They all heard the whisper. Watching in shock as Inuyasha went crashing into the ground and saw her clench her fist in anger.

"Kagome," four whispers said softly and clearly in shock, Though Inuyasha's was muffled by the dirt. However Kagome just walked towards Rin before looking down at her before she picked her up so they were eye to eye.

"Where has Sesshomaru-sama put those shards?" she watched as Rin looked at her in shock before she pointed to Ah-Un's saddle. She gently placed the child on her feet before heading over to the dragon, who didn't protest or anything except nuzzling her with both heads. She took the shards and was surprised when she found that there were six of them.

"If I were you I would put that back." She turned and faced the angry lord. He reached out for her but she just moved the side, shocking everyone with her quickness.

"Good thing you're not me." She said and quickly dashed out of the clearing before anyone could say or do anything.
