Chapter 3

Flashback:

"I fear no one but Lord Sesshoumaru." Jaken said.

Kagome held Sesshoumaru back as she could see Sesshoumaru's blood boiling. Kagome then heard the rest of what Jaken said and it made her furious.

"You and those humans are nothing but pest. Look at that foolish girl falling for a man that can't choose. Pathetic women breaks her own heart and doesn't even learn. I do not see why Lord Sesshoumaru would even follow after her." Jaken yelled. Kagome and Sesshoumaru walked over to where Jaken stood. Rin and Shippou began to cry while Miroku held Sango back. Rin and Shippou then looked behind Jaken and stopped crying.

"Then you don't mind if Kagome-oneechan heard you." Rin smiled. Jaken looked at her confused then felt two angry auras behind him.

Current:

"Seems this imp has so respect for those around him." Kagome said. Jaken could see the pure rage behind her eyes and the evil aura around her.

Jaken swallowed and the nervously said. "Insolence human, as a servant of Lord Sesshoumaru, I have no need to respect any of you except for Lord Sesshoumaru himself."

"Well then you will need to learn some. Since Sesshoumaru is a lord then that means you need to be respectful to those Sesshoumaru associates with. Now if you look around we are associated with Sesshoumaru so therefore if you can't respect us then you have shamed Sesshoumaru's name. Do you want it to spread that Sesshoumaru's servant can't respect anyone therefore you could ruin all alliances Sesshoumaru has made?" Kagome said as she smirked at Jaken.

"Kagome is right Jaken. To think that a servant for Sesshoumaru would not know how to respect others." Shippou snickered.

"Silence! You have no right to think that Lord Sesshoumaru would associate with you low lives. We are nothing more than mutual parties looking to destroy a common enemy. Other than that there is no reason Lord Sesshoumaru would be here." Jaken said furiously.

"Well then what if you were in the presence of royalty, would you give them respect?" Kagome said with a hint of irritation.

"Of course, the penalty of disrespecting someone from a royal penalty is death." Jaken stared at Kagome. "But you and your friends are only human with two weak demons."

Kagome bent down to Jaken and whispered. "Remember this day imp. You will one day be on your knees begging for mercy. Also I hope you keep in mind the punishment of disrespecting a royal."

Kagome got back up and looked at Jaken's face with an evil smile. Everyone laughed as they watch Jaken's face turn white from whatever Kagome whispered. Only Sesshoumaru heard what was said and he found it amusing. Kagome took the kids to the stream to wash up and got them ready for bed. Kagome tucked the kids in and watch as everyone got ready for bed. Sango and Miroku slept near the kids with Kirara watching over them. Ah Un rested by the fire as Jaken rested near him. After about an hour Sesshoumaru motioned Kagome over to him to sit on his lap.

"Don't you think it's a bit risky to do that?" Kagome giggled as she walked over to Sesshoumaru and sat next to him.

"My beast has been going crazy and doesn't want to be far from you. I also agree so for the sake of both of us." Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome into his lap and rested his head on her neck. "This is where me and my beast agree is best for you to be."

"I could never go far when we were together and I remember how grouchy you were when I had to leave to go home." Kagome giggled. "Remember when I had to go back home for a month to attend to my duties. You were so angry that everyone at the castle dare not cross paths with you until I returned. I got so many people in the castle thank me for coming back and that I should never be gone for more than three days."

"Well my mate was somewhere far from my grasp."

"My father and mother thought it was funny when a messenger from the west asked for me to return after one week. Apparently everyone was fearing for their lives and wanted Sesshoumaru to calm down."

"Good thing you came back. I was ready to kill the next person who asked for something stupid."

"I had to make sure no one was killed. Besides I missed you too Koi." Kagomes smiled.

Kagome and Sesshoumaru spent most of the night talking and catching up with what the other has been doing. Sesshoumaru sensed that Inuyasha was coming back so he nudge Kagome to go sleep. Kagome gave him a peck on the lips and went into her sleeping bag. Sesshoumaru stayed under the tree and watch as moments later Inuyasha enter the camp.

"Seems I took longer than expected. Everyone is sleeping." Inuyasha said and then his stomach growled.

"Foolish little brother, if you were hungry why did you not go hunting." Sesshoumaru stated.

"Shut up. I wanted ramen. Ramen taste a lot better than most hunts." Inuyasha grumbled. "I wonder if Kagome will make me some ramen." Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and was about to wake her but was stopped by Sesshoumaru.

"Let her sleep." Sesshoumaru glared at Inuyasha with his red eyes.

"What's your problem?!" Inuyasha complained. "Kagome said she would make me food once I came back. I am here and I want some food."

"Why don't you make it yourself?"

"What's your problem? This has nothing to do with you!" Inuyasha said in a loud voice.

"Keeps your voice in check little brother. Just do it yourself if you're hungry you don't need someone to do it for you. I believe you are old enough to make food on your own. Besides you shouldn't wake someone at this godly hour." Seshoumaru glared at Inuyasha.

"Keh. Whatever." Inuyasha said as he went into Kagome's bag and grabbed his favorite ramen. Inuyasha started a small fire and made his food then took a seat across Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha glared at Sesshoumaru and also looked to the forest.

"I am not stupid little brother. I know she is there waiting till I sleep for her to enter the camp like she does every so often." Sesshoumaru said as he pointed to the trees where Kikyou was hiding. "Pathetic little brother. You already chosen who want yet you had Kagome wait for you like a dog."

"So what if I chose Kikyou! Kagome is nothing but a clone of Kikyou!" Inuyasha growled.

"Is that how you see a women who gave her heart to you?" Sesshoumaru eyes turned red as he stood up and grabbed Inuyasha by the collar. "An inu youkai is a faithful demon and never deceives. Such a failure should be punished."

"Put him down or I shall purify you where you stand demon." Kikyou said as she walked out from the forest with an arrow pointed to Sesshoumaru.
