Well, enjoy!

Walking angrily into Kaede's hut, Inuyasha shot an angry glare at the old woman sitting beside the fire. Sango and Miroku shot each other worried glances. They quietly sat down before the old miko.
Kaede looked around, she was missing something, or rather someone. Raising an eyebrow she said, "where is Kagome?"
Clearing her throat, Sango decided to speak. "She is abducted, Kaede."
Kaede's eyes widened, "oh, dear. That's not good," she muttered to herself.
Inuyasha growled at that and walked out of the hut. Climbing in a tree and sitting on a branch, he thought of Kagome. 'I wonder how Kagome's doing… I hope nothing serious happened to her.'He sighed deeply. Closing his eyes, he quickly fell asleep.
-----
Walking into the 'dining room,' Kagome noticed that the Shichinintai were staring at her. She heard Suikotsu cough and she immediately snapped out of her thoughts. He guided her to her seat and she sat down.
She looked at all the food in front of her. It was so many! But that was to be expected when you gained money from killing people, especially if you loved to do it.
She looked around the table, recognizing the faces. There was Jakotsu in front of her. Suikotsu beside her, Ginkotsu wasn't sitting on a chair, because he was too big. She noticed that Bankotsu wasn't at the table yet. Right when she thought that, he walked in.
Sitting down, he looked at the girl. He blinked, as if trying to remember who she was again. After a moment his eyes lit with recognition and he smirked. "So," he said, "are you enjoying your stay?"
She glared at him. "Why am I here anyway?"
"Oh?" He replied. "Getting straight to business I see. Kami, you're no fun at all!"
She frowned at his weird answer. It looked like he was someone else, and not her Aniki who had been killed such a long time ago.
"Anyway," he said, "let's eat. I'm starving!"
-----
After the meal, Kagome was guided back to the room by none other than Jakotsu. Bankotsu had told him to watch her, he had glared at her in response. When they walked inside the room he closed the door behind him an sat down. She, too, sat down and was thinking about what she had to say. Not knowing what to say, she began to observe him a bit. He still wore kimono's she noticed, but instead of his usual pink ones, he now wore a yellow one.
Noticing her stare, he glared at her, "what?"
Startled out of her thoughts, she stuttered, "N-nothing."
Not satisfied with her answer he said or rather yelled, "no! Not nothing. You were staring at me."
Refusing to let it pass, she angrily stood up and pointed a finger at him, "look mister, I can't help but stare at you, because this is a big, empty room, with only you inside. What am I supposed to do? Stare at the walls or something?"
A little taken aback by her answer, he mumbled something under his breath, it sounded suspiciously close to 'damn woman.'
There was the awkward silence again. However, this time Jakotsu was the one to break it.
"What is your relationship to the demon?"
"Inuyasha, you mean?" Kagome asked.
"Y-yeah." Kagome could swear she saw his face becoming red. She grinned, "we're friends, why do you ask?"
"No reason." He answered quickly.
Kagome didn't want to drop the topic so she asked, "You like him, don't you, Jakotsu?"
His eyes widened, and he finally looked at her. He was indeed blushing a little bit. "How do you know my name?"
Not wanting to lie again, she told him, "I know you from when I was little."
"What?"
"You heard what I said. I know you from when I was little. You guys were killed eight years ago, I was there when it happened. I was your little sister, Kagome."
Realization hit him. So that was were he knew her name from. "Then… Why didn't you tell us?"
"I don't want you guys to find out by telling you. I just want you to remember me. Though, I don't like it when you are all so hateful towards me. Especially you, Jakotsu. I always knew you hated women, but you were always kind to me."
His eyes softened, "you really are our little sister, aren't you? I'm so happy." He pulled her into a hug. "We were afraid that you were killed too." He released the hug to look at her.
"Thank you." She said.
He grinned widely, "I can't wait to tell the others and then-"
However, he was suddenly interrupted, "No!" Kagome calmed down. "I mean no, Jakotsu. I don't want everyone to know. I want them to find out by themselves. If it's okay with you?" She said pleading.
He smiled, "If that is what you wish, Imouto."
"Thank you for being so nice." She stood up and sat down beside him.
"You're welcome." And with that being said, they both fell to sleep. Her head on his shoulder and his head on her head. It was a romantic sight to see.

"It doesn't work!!!" Shouted an angered Inuyasha. "The more times I try to sniff her out, the more times we get a dead end."
"Maybe we should get some others to help?" Sango suggested.
"Like who?" He barked.
"I can name a few people." Shippou said. "For example, we can ask Kouga. I'm sure he'll be worried!"
"That wimpy wolf? No way!" Inuyasha replied.
"How about Kikyou-sama then?" Miroku suggested.
Inuyasha considered it. "We can ask her."
Sango decided to butt in. "There's no way we're asking Kikyou, he'll only be distracted by her."
"Hey!" Inuyasha said offended.
"Well, It's true. Inuyasha is a jerk. If one of his woman is not around, he'll go to the other." Shippou said, but was hit by Inuyasha. "That hurts, I can't help it I'm just a kid!"
"Then," Sango said, "how about Sesshoumaru?"
Inuyasha looked at her as if she was an alien. Sesshoumaru? Was she serious? "Are you for real? Sesshoumaru? He'll only kill her when he sees her."
"This Sesshoumaru won't do that against some harmless woman. Even if she is a filthy human."
Sesshoumaru stepped into the clearing.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and muttered, "speak of the devil."
Still, Sesshoumaru could hear it, but decided to ignore it.
Getting into a defensive stance, Inuyasha said, "What do you want?"
"This Sesshoumaru is interested in what you are doing here." He glanced around. "Without your little miko."
Sango exchanged a glance with Miroku and he nodded. "Sesshoumaru," Sango said while walking to stand before the large Inuyoukai. "Let's make a deal."
-----
Bankotsu was getting worried! He did not expect Jakotsu to be quiet around the woman. He actually thought Jakotsu would come out thirty seconds after being inside that room with her. No, he couldn't take it any longer! "Suikotsu, where are you? Come with me. There's something wrong."
"What is it, brother?" Suikotsu replied, worried. Sometimes it was so good to change to your 'good' form.
"We're going to check on that woman and Jakotsu, maybe he killed her." "Why don't you go there by yourself? I don't think you need me for that."
"Just come with me."
Walking through several empty halls, they finally made it to 'Kagome's' room. They opened, and were shocked for the rest of their lives.
Jakotsu was asleep with a woman by his side? Maybe the woman had poisoned him?
Moaning loudly, Jakotsu lazily got up. Noticing Bankotsu standing in the room, he greeted him, "Oh, hello, Aniki. What are you doing here?"
They were interrupted by a sound coming from a certain miko's lips. She yawned and got up.
Bankotsu was frozen with shock. However, seeing the miko stand up he got angry. "What the hell is going on here!?" He roared, loudly.
Jakotsu and Kagome both searched for an explanation. Jakotsu came up with an idea! "We're in love."
Kagome sweatdropped at the 'idea.'
Bankotsu didn't take the excuse though. "Jakotsu, you're fucking gay, for God's sake! Like hell I would believe that."
He grabbed his Banryuu (A/N: How the hell did that thing come in here? O.o) and pointed it at Kagome. "Now," he said, "if I don't get an explanation fast. I'll kill this girl, no matter if she is important or not."
Kagome gasped loudly.

A/N: That was it already! Sorry for the short chapter. I had a writer's block. I was also very budy with my school (as usual!)
Next chapter: Will Kagome have to tell the truth? And what is the deal that Sango wants to make, will Sesshoumaru accept it? Read and find out!
