Back in the cave, the two just stood in front of each other. Before Kagome was about to leave, Sesshomaru grabbed her hand. Kagome's hair swayed back with her movement. She was already blushing and her heart pounded. What was he doing?

"Sesshomaru?"

"Kagome. Tell me. Do you love InuYasha?"

She made a flustered and angry expression. She didn't want to talk about it with someone as uncaring as him. She thought of him as a jerk at the moment and indecipherably felt something for the demon. Kagome tried to pull away with embarrassment, but Sesshomaru wouldn't let go. He held her hand tighter.

"I take it you do. It's just this Kikyo person you hate."

She was shocked. How did he know about Kikyo? Now he probably knows everything.

"What so?"

Sesshomaru didn't know what to do at the moment, but he could do anything without having time to react. He pulled her closer and made her sit beside him.

"Just stay here for now."

Kagome carelessly leaned against him without realizing it. Meanwhile, InuYasha and the others were quick on the run.

"Kagome's scent! It's close!"

The others nodded as they rushed quicker. Sesshomaru sniffed out and knew InuYasha was headed this way. He had to do what he wanted to, even if it might anger InuYasha, but he could care less. The moment of truth was coming to a realization. Sesshomaru leaned to look into Kagome's eyes and moved closer to her face. He put on an extremely tranquil face. She turned to him quickly, and she caught his glare. She completely fell for Sesshomaru at that moment. She widened her eyes to avoid the blurriness of not seeing his own enlarged pupils. Sesshomaru leaned against her closer, indulging I her scent. The dog smell of InuYasha was approaching at only feet away. InuYasha landed in the same meadow as Sesshomaru and Kagome were in. The strong scent of the two came north towards the cave. It hit InuYasha that the two must be hiding in there.

"That cave up ahead! They're in there! I'm sure of it!"

"Okay InuYasha. Let's go, but be on your guard. He probably smelled your scent coming this way," said Miroku.

InuYasha nodded, and they stealthily walked towards the cave, making sure not to step on anything that would give off the noise of an intruder. Sesshomaru could sense them coming closer. He looked into Kagome's eyes with unusual sincerity and their faces were just inches apart. They both leaned towards one another. Just about when they were going to kiss, Kagome heard a crackle. She turned her face away for a bit and pushed herself back. She was scared that someone might ambush them. Sesshomaru saw and couldn't let her go. Carelessly, she let her guard down since Sesshomaru was here. She knew he could take down the things. She forgot all about InuYasha. Sesshomaru still looked at Kagome and gestured that they should finish. They continued to lean carefully and slowly towards each other until their lips slightly touched. Kagome seemed to not mind at all. She was drawn on by his charm-if he had any. Their eyes were closed and lips finally touched one another. It was both soothing and comforting for the two. Kagome put her hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder as they continued. InuYasha saw the cave the strong demon scent and it was dark. Kagome's eyes opened, but they still held the kiss. She heard some footsteps for sure. She tried to let go, but Sesshomaru's force was a bit stronger. Then, Sesshomaru stayed like this on purpose. He wanted InuYasha to see. InuYasha and the others followed behind until they saw what shocked their eyes. Kagome and Sesshomaru's position: kissing. InuYasha was furious with this. He had his heart broken from Kikyo's soul once again.

"Sesshomaru, you fucking bastard! What the hell are fucking you doing to Kagome?! You dirty fucking bastard!"

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo started to talk amongst themselves. What was happening to the two? Miroku was especially surprised.

"And he could just nail Kagome like that? Wow. Didn't know he had it-"

Sango interjected.

"Miroku! How could you think about that this at a time like this?! Do you realize what this means to InuYasha?!"

Shippo agreed.

"Kagome had gone off with his brother because InuYasha keeps paying attention to his other woman!"

InuYasha felt helpless to what had happened and was angry at what Shippo said. He punched Shippo on the head.

"Be quiet! Not because of that, you fool!"

Kagome and Sesshomaru stood up and she realized it was InuYasha. She knew InuYasha would forgive her, wouldn't she? It wasn't what she expected at all. She didn't want InuYasha to think that she didn't love him, but she couldn't lie about what happened with Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru let Kagome go. She ran behind InuYasha.

"Kagome! Are you alright? We'll talk about this when I finish you off, Sesshomaru!"

InuYasha immediately pulled out Tetsuaiga, ready to fight.

"Well InuYasha, need not to fight. I'll come back."

Sesshomaru used Tokijin swing him away with the pressure. He also used it to escape from the cave from above. Kagome was with Miroku, Sango, and Shippo. She looked up and mumbled.

"Sesshomaru..."

InuYasha came back up.

"Sesshomaru, you fucking bastard! Come back here and finish damn the battle!"

"InuYasha, he escaped. Let it go, please."

He turned and looked to Kagome who was talking.

"Kagome! Are you okay now? Tell me what happened! What did he do to you? Why? Hurry up!"

"InuYasha, let's just go now."

"No Kagome! I saw what he did to you! Explain it here right now! I wanna know now!"

Miroku stepped in.

"InuYasha, after what happened to poor Kagome, do you think she wants to talk about it? Isn't that right?"

"So?! This is an important matter!"

"Look InuYasha. You did everything you could to protect Kagome. Don't be so hard on yourself."

Kagome felt so guilty. She agreed with Miroku only to not talk about her feelings towards Sesshomaru. She could understand now. InuYasha mustn't find out, but it might be told one day. InuYasha said,

"Kagome, as soon as we get back somewhere to settle, we'll talk, got it?! I was worried sick!"

Kagome seemed as though she didn't pay attention, but she understood him. Shippo stayed with her, trying to comfort and remove the memory. Miroku and Sango suggested they should leave now. Kagome climbed on InuYasha's back and they ran off to a Kaede's village again. Sesshomaru went back to Rin and Jaken before something bad happened to them. He couldn't fully trust Jaken against demons. He landed and heard a rustle in the bushes. Jaken and Rin spotted that Sesshomaru has come. They popped out. Jaken immediately said,

"Lord Sesshomaru has returned! Oh boy! I couldn't sleep all night! I was wo-"

"Be quiet Jaken," said Sesshomaru. Jaken and Rin followed after Sesshomaru, but they didn't know where he was going.

"Um, L-lord Sesshomaru. Where were you last night?"

Sesshomaru ignored him, for he didn't want them to know. InuYasha and the others finally came to the old village and Kaede was shocked to see them return.

"InuYasha! You came back. And found Kagome. Do you need something else?"

"No Kaede. I just needed somewhere to stop and talk to Kagome privately."

"Oh? Well, what happened? Kagome? InuYasha? Who's going tell?"

"Sorry. We don't even know the situation. We saw it, but she seems too scared to tell us."

"Oh? I'm very sorry Kagome."

Kagome nodded.

"It's alright Kaede. Thank you for understanding."

Kagome couldn't stand this awkwardness. She ran and left to go to the well. Everyone was yelling.

"Kagome! Kagome, come back!"

Then Miroku said,

"She must be very ashamed and embarrassed."

Sango agreed.

"Yeah. I don't blame her."

Shippo looked confused.

"Hey InuYasha! Aren't you going to go after Kagome? She ran off!"

InuYasha snapped to his senses and quickly ran off to Kagome. InuYasha's mind was plagued at by what Sesshomaru did to Kagome. What the hell was he touching Kagome for?! And kissing her?! He caught up with her. She was about to jump into the well to go back to her era. InuYasha couldn't talk to her while she was still at home. This was private matter. The true confession was about to begin. InuYasha grabbed Kagome's hand before she could completely fall in and pulled her up.

"InuYasha. I'm sorry about what happened. I couldn't do anything. Just let me stay at my time for a few days and let me get back on my feet. Please InuYasha."

He saw Kagome's face. She was saddened and was about to cry.

"No. Kagome. You're staying here and telling me about it now. I need to know. I-I thought you and I. No. It was that Sesshomaru bastard who did this! You'd never give in to someone like that!"

"InuYasha! How dare you interrupt me?! Don't you give me any respect?! Sit boy! Sit!"

"Ah! Kagome, you bitch! What was that for?! Hey! Come back!"

It was too late. She had already gone into the well. Miroku quickly ran to InuYasha.

"What happened? What did she say?"

"S-she didn't answer me. She wanted to go back to her era. I tried to stop he-"

"Let her go. You can't force her, but since you're the only one who could go through the well-Hey! Stop InuYasha! Give her time!"

InuYasha already went in the well and appeared on the other side. Kagome read a letter in her room. It said,

"Dear Kagome, we won the lottery and we're now off to the Hot Springs. We will be back on Sunday. Sincerely, Mom, Grandpa, and Sota."

Kagome was shocked. She had manage herself through the week?

"Seriously? I need a vacation at a time like this. Well, it's only Wednesday."

She sighed heavily as she was prepared to leave to talk to her friends at school. Just before she could undress, InuYasha came through the window. She looked back and saw him.
