Inuyasha and Kikyo traveled for half a day, and they rested because Kikyo needed her souls. Inuyasha was still a bit shocked and angry that Sango and Miroku betrayed him... but he still had Kikyo.

'Feh. She cant even sense jewel shards. We need to stop every day for souls and food. Kagome would ahve been much more useful, and is much more beautiful that dead bitch. I will never let you mark her as yours,'said his demon.

'Shut up. I will mark without your consent,' thought Inuyasha.

'You cant mark a woman that I do not love Inuyasha,' said his beast.

'Watch me,' he thought.

Kikyo was finally done with her souls, and Inuyasha already ate. They went back on their way. Inuyasha was beginning to doubt his decision. Maybe his beast was right. Maybe he shouldnt have sent her away.

But she was marked by Sesshoumaru. His half brother, and enemy. Sure, they had a truce... for now. When Naraku was dead, he was going to take her back. It's not like she fell out of love with him, just loves Sesshoumaru too, and Inuyasha less.

Inuyasha smirked at the thought.

Kikyo saw him smirk, and smiled. "What's so funny?" she asked. She was in front of him, and stopped to turn around and look at him. "Just enjoying the view," he said slyly. He had to quickly make up a lie.

She grinned and put her hands on his chest. "Well... maybe you would like a better view," she said, moving her hands downward. He growled playfully, and he bent down to kiss her, but she pulled away. "Tonight," she whispered in his ear. He smiled, and ignored his disgusted beast.


Sesshoumaru held Kagome by the waist as Miroku and Sango walked in the front. Shippo was sitting on Miroku's shoulder.

Sesshoumaru sensed that Kagome was a little hurt, and sad, and he knew why. 'She will be joining our group. Kagome, will not be needed' those words played over and over in her head.

She couldnt believe that Inuyasha could be so cruel. But what lightened her up, was that she had Sesshoumaru. Someone who loved and cared for her in return.

"Thank you, Sesshoumaru," said Kagome. He looked down at her. "For letting my friends join our group," said Kagome. He nodded. He had a mask void of emotion, but Kagome knew what he felt on the inside.

"We should stop here. It's almost dark," said Miroku. Sesshoumaru nodded and said, "I'll go check the area." Then he sped away.

"I'll gather firewood," said Miroku. "I'll get the food out," said Kagome. "And once Miroku gets the wood, I'll make the fire," said Sango.

"No need," said Sesshoumaru, behind Kagome. Kagome was startled.

"Finished already?" asked Sango. He only nodded. Miroku came back with the firewood, and Sesshoumaru flicked his wrist towards Ah Un.

He took off the muzzle, and Ah Un, blew a little fire out of his mouth. They all nodded, and Kagome fixed up some Ramen.

Sesshoumaru didnt know what Kagome was doing. She was making some strange yellow strings with orangish red water in a silver bowl.

Kagome got out enough styrofoam bolws for everybody, and then once the ramen was finished, she put it in each bowl. "Try it," she said, handing the bowl to Sesshoumaru.

He took it, and used his chopsticks. He was surprised. He really loved it. He ate the whole bowl so that it was completely empty.

Kagome smiled, and said, "Good?" He nodded. When they were alone, Sesshoumaru would do much more than nod and give short answers. She missed that.

"Time to sleep," said Miroku. "Okay, but I wanna go for a bath at the hotsprings," said Kagome. "I will watch over you," said Sesshoumaru.

"Me too," said Miroku, but Sesshoumaru glared at him, and growled, and Sango slapped the daylights out of him. Kagome gathered her bathing supplies, and went to the hotsprings with Sesshoumaru.

While they were walking, Kagome said, "How do you like my friends?" "The kit acts like you are his mother," said Sesshoumaru.

"Yeah. His parents died, and we found him. He didnt have anywhere to go, so I took him in," said Kagome, smiling at the day she found him. "He is a full demon. I shall teach him how to be strong," said Sesshoumaru.

"Thank you," said Kagome. "I think he feels a little out of the loop when we fight. He wants to be strong. I know he will be very handsome when he grows up," said Kagome.

"I see," Sesshoumaru said. "What about the others?" asked Kagome. "The monk surprises. He is a holy person, yet, he is a lecher," said Sesshoumaru. "Yeah, but he only does that to Sango. He used to do that to me, and a lot of other women," answered Kagome.

"He is not a very good influence on the children," said Sesshoumaru. "Its alright, we'll teach them bad from good," said Kagome. He nodded in agreement. "And Sango?" asked Kagome.

"She is brave. She is a tajiya, correct?" he asked. Kagome nodded. "Her little brother was part of my group for some time," said Sesshoumaru. "He tried to kill Rin," said Sesshoumaru darkly.

"But that was only because of the shard in his back... right?" asked Kagome. "It doesnt matter," said Sesshoumaru. "Sango really misses him. That is why, I have decided my wish upon the jewel," said Kagome. "Oh?" he asked.

"I want everyone that was killed by Naraku, to have another chance at life," said Kagome. "It is very... selfless," said Sesshoumaru. "I cant let Inuyasha get his hands on the jewel. His only motive is to be a full fledged demon. Sometimes, I tried to change his mind, but... I guess only one person can do that," said Kagome, sadly.

"Do not think of that half breed. He does not know what he lost," said Sesshoumaru. Kagome smiled up to him, and nodded. They arrived at the hotsprings, and Sesshoumaru sat on the ground.

Kagome undressed, and entered the hotsprings. "Would you like to join?" asked Kagome, her back to him, but her head looking back. He smirked, and undressed.

Kagome sunk into the water, only her head showing. His smirk got wider, and before Kagome knew it, she was against the egde of the springs, being kissed by the Taiyoukai.

He wanted to take her, but she said, "We need to bath." He smirked, remembering last night.

He kissed at her neck, kneading her breast.

She gasped, and then moaned, arching her back into his touch for a moment. "We need to take a bath," said Kagome. Sesshoumaru only spread her legs, and thrusted into her.

She gasped once more and said, "Stop... we need go back to the others... soon," she said, biting her lip. He made his pace very slow, and his thrusts very deep. He did this for a couple of minutes, waiting for her to break.

Then he whispered in her ear, "Is that really what you want?" He quickened his pace, and she started to meet him thrust for thrust, but then he used his demonic speed, and she was only moaning with each and every thrust.

He kissed her, with heated passion, as her walls clenched and unclenched around him.

He then licked at his mark, making her moan in ecstasy. Then she bit her lip so hard not to scream as she came, and he came with her, buried his head in her neck.

When he slipped out, she was panting she said, "We need to take our bath... now!" He chuckled, and nodded.

Inuyasha couldnt wait for the night. But his beast thought it would come to soon. When they were at a clearing, Kikyo smiled, and turned to him. "Its time," she said, untying his pants.

He smirked, and undid her clothes. His beast was so disgusted, all he could think about was the cold walls that surrounded him as they mated... it was sickening.

But like everytime, his beast would sleep, and when he woke up, he knew he was going to feel dirty. But this time, all the beast could think about was Kagome.

He wanted Kagome, not this dead bitch. So all he thought about was Kagome's hot tight core. And when he marked her. But as he thought that, Inuyasha marked Kikyo, and sure enough, there was a small crescent moon.

Inuyasha tasted dirt in his mouth, and felt like he'd been sat, only without the pain. He ignored it, and smirked, triumphant that he marked Kikyo. He knew though, that his beast was only thinking about Kagome, and he knew that he would be in trouble later, when his beast sent images of Kagome and Inuyasha into her mind.
