Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru, and any of the other characters

mentioned in this story. But this story is mine Btw: The link to the PICTURE is not my picture. I am not the artist. Its just an EXAMPLE. Thanks lol.

Alright people, here it is, the next chapter of my story. I'm really sorry its been taking so long for me to update, but there is a good reason for it. I had chapters 3 and 4 done on my dads laptop, but he needed it back, so I just figured out how to download neo-office. And now, I'm about to re-write chapter three for you guys. About the reviews, they were all good except, one. Only 7 reviews... i was pretty exited when I got them but I've noticed so mean people read the story and only 7 review. Which is quite sad. So if you others have a heart, review please! You wont regret it. You really have nothing to loose, but all you have to gain is making me feel happy about my writing, and inputting your opinion of the story

Well, here goes. So enjoy. ha! I just figured out the left to right thing on this neo-office. No wonder what I've written so far has been with terrible grammar. Well, no worries. Its fixed. Yes!

Chapter Three: Will Power

Kagome woke up early, her head dizzy and her whole body throbbing with pain. She could hardly breath, and her clothing was soaked in her sweat. It must have been Sesshomaru and his poison. Kagome felt a damp cloth on her forehead, and slightly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry and she couldn't make out the person kneeling next to her. But she did notice the form of a young child, a girl in fact. After a few minutes, Kagome's vision was improving, and she noticed who the young girl was. It was Rin, the young girl that fallowed Sesshomaru around.

"Good Morning, Rin!" Kagome said, weakly.

Rin gave Kagome a toothy grin, and said, "Good Morning Kagome!" cheerfully.

Kagome slightly turned her head, and looked at her surroundings. Rin had walked off to the fire, to continue cooking, what seemed to be a fish, or two. Ah-Un was grazing peacefully (Yes, I checked, Ah-Un is a demon that eats ONLY leaves and flowers, and herbs. Weird, huh?) and lastly, Sesshomaru and his little toad were nowhere to be seen. Kagome really didn't care. She didn't want to be near that rude, cruel demon. She would rather die, then even put up with his cold heart. But now, all she could think about was the sweet smell coming from the fire and food that Rin was tending too. She hadn't eaten for days, and along with the poison it really took a toll on her. Before she knew it, Kagome had passed out again. This time, with a roaring fever, a empty stomach, and a body that was in deathly pain.

Kagome awoke later, feeling a cool liquid fill her mouth. She gulped it down carefully, enjoying the cool liquid, which she figured was water, run down her hot body, cooling her down. Kagome sat up, feeling a little better. Rin was again beside her, this time with some food.

"Kagome-sama must eat Rin's cooking. Kagome-sama will feel much better, the fever has gone down."

Kagome nodded, and ate silently. The pain had gone away, and her wrists were bandaged up neatly. Kagome turned to Rin, who had already finished eating.

"Rin-chan, may I ask you some questions?" Rin nodded.

"Why am I here, and how long have I been out?'"

Rin smiled again, "Rin didn't want to leave Kagome-chan out there, to die. Rin-chan cares about Kagome-sama because Kagome-sama has helped me dozens of times. I asked Sesshomaru-sama I we could take you, and he said your my responsibility. Kagome-chan has been out for a few days."

Kagome gave Rin a slight smile, "I think a walk in the field would do us some good, right Rin?"

Rin jumped up happily. There was nothing more Rin loved then running around like crazy. She was a child after all. Kagome held Rin's hand as they walked through the flowers happily.

"Rin! You baka human! Where are you? Rin!" Kagome and Rin both turned around to the screeching voice of that ugly toad, Jaken.

"Jaken, you silly. You yell to much. What is it that you want from Rin-chan, and Kagome-sama?" Rin asked innocently.

Jaken gave them a evil look, and yelled again, "You, and that filthy human should be back at camp very soon. Departure is soon." Jaken dropped a brown package on the grass and ran off.

Rin picked up the package and handed it to Kagome, smiling. "Sesshomaru-sama doesn't like what you wear, because its inappropriate."

Kagome picked up the package and nodded, she had no energy to argue about what she was wearing. She didn't want to pick another fight, at the moment at least.

"Lets go bathe Rin," Kagome said sweetly.

Kagome and Rin walked a bit longer, before finding a large hot spring, perfect for bathing. It was surrounded by large tree's and exotic plants. "Wonderful" Kagome thought. Kagome undressed and ducked into the water, Rin momentarily fallowing her example. Rin played around in the water and watched as Kagome washed her hair carefully with her sweet smelling liquids and washed all the dirt off her body carefully, then lathering it with more soaps. "Kagome-sama is so beautiful and nice. I wish I could be just like Kagome-sama one day. I wish Kagome-sama could be my mom." Rin thought.

Kagome smiled at Rin after she was done, "Rin, come here. Lets wash that dirt off your face." Rin nodded and stood still as Kagome washed the dirt off her face and hands.

"There, now your all clean, lets get back before that ugly toad comes looking for us again."

Rin smiled, and nodded.

Kagome carefully opened the package only to find a perfect white Kimono. It was made of flowing white silk, and delicate Sakura blossoms were sticked into it. (NOTE: THE KIMONO'S THAT KAGOME WEARS ARE THE SAME STYLE AS INUYASHA'S MOTHER WORSE. FLOWING AND LONG. I LOVE THE STYLE SO MUCH.) Kagome lifted it up, and found two more layers. The bottom layer was a very light yellow, with white flowers stitched into it, the second layer was the same color as the Sakura blossoms on her main layer, and finally the last layer was the one she was holding in her hands. Kagome slowly dressed, and fixed her dark ebony hair, letting it cascade down her back. She didn't bother tucking in all her hair behind her ears, so she left two strands in front of her ears, making her look more free and mysterious. (Like sago's hair, in front of her ears.)

Kagome had no reason of fixing her hair like usual, she had nobody to impress...nobody to try to impress. But little did she know, the little changes in her appearance made her all the more beautiful.

"Lets go Rin, we really should be getting back." Kagome grabbed the washed Robe of the Fire Rat and the rest of the outfit. She was extremely surprised to find how light her outfit was, as if she was surrounded by air, instead of heavy robes. She switched her thoughts back to Inuyasha. As much as she was hurt by Inuyasha, there was no way in hell she would ever give up a most precious possession. The only thing she had to remember him by, even if he did love Kikyo.

Rin nodded and skipped behind Kagome.

"Sesshomaru-sama! The humans are back!" the ugly toad squealed.

Kagome walked into the camp area, to find a angry Sesshomaru staring back at her, with ice cold eyes.

Sesshomaru watched as the human girl walked back into camp, her long hair flowing behind her, her sapphire eyes, empty, and full of sadness. The Kimono she was wearing fitted her perfectly, of course. The thing that surprised him most was the Miko power that surrounded her with such ferocity. How could a mere human radiate so much power? He immediately took this girl as a threat. She was human, but a Miko. He had never sensed such powers before, on any human, of even a few demons. This girl was oddly strange, indeed. Suddenly, it hit him. 'If this human, is who I think she is, then she defiantly must leave here, or go home." He then turned his attention to Rin, some comfort easing in his heart. She was the only human he trusted, and a child at that. He enjoyed her company, needless to say. She was respectful, kind, and not as annoying as Jaken always described. It was as if she was his own daughter, and that is what he held her up to be. Rin smiled at him, and ran towards him.

"Your back Sesshomaru-sama! Rin missed Sesshomaru-sama very much." Rin spin around once, giving him note of her new features. "Kagome-sama took me to the spring with her, and Rin is now all clean!"

Sesshomaru nodded. "You look very neat Rin." He would not acknowledge what Kagome had done. He wanted no business with her. Once she was gone, all would be better.

Sesshomaru turned to the toad, Jaken.

"You, Rin, and Ah-Un start walking. I have some unfinished business." Sesshomaru said coldly, as usual.

Rin gave Sesshomaru a sad look, but said nothing more. She ran up to Kagome and gave her a long hug.

"Rin-chan is going to miss you, Kagome-sama! Rin-chan like Kagome-sama alot!" Rin said tearfully.

Kagome smiled, trying not to realize the same. That she was indeed somewhat attached to this girl.

"Rin-chan, if you need anything, just ask Sesshomaru to find me. I'll come right away for you. You don't need to show tears. I'm sure we will meet again." Kagome found herself holding the child to her, a few tears rolling down her face. "Farewell, Rin-chan."

Rin nodded slowly, and ran up to Jaken and Ah-Un.

Kagome got up, and turned to Sesshomaru. She would not show him her sadness. He was cold, and cruel. He deserved no satisfaction of seeing her cry. Even thought he may smell her tears, he would never see them.

"That girl, needs more then a cold demon to look after her, you know." Kagome said, emotionless.

Sesshomaru was getting angered. How dare this human tell him how to take care of Rin? It was not her business.

"You, human, have no right to tell me how to care for Rin. She may be a child, and she may be human, but she does have every thing she needs...wench."

Kagome now, was getting angered. "Why is it, that you Inu-youkai's and Han'yo can never say my name. It is honestly not that hard."

"Humph... your name is hardly worth using. You are a worthless human. You deserve no name."

Sesshomaru had hit his mark. He could sense her powers flowing around her in angry and dis pare. He could even smell her anger. This human, wasn't exactly safe to be around.

"I am no worthless human. I have a heart, I have feelings, and I care for people. While you, you are nothing more then a cold, arrogant, cruel Youkai. I have no idea why I'm even wearing this Kimono. I rather die then wear something that you give me."

Sesshomaru watched her go into the tree's and back, wearing nothing but the Robe of the Fire Rat.

No, it does cover her body. Not to worry. But that is the only layer

Kagome walked up to him and threw the layers on the ground in front of him.

"I have no need of this, or of you." She turned and walked away, careless of her actions.

Sesshomaru was near boiling point. She insulted him, and turned her back on him, and she was immensely defiant. Yet, it intrigued him. In a flash he was in front of her, and he had her pinned to a tree. His poison claws digging into her arms, staining her kimono with blood, again.

She looked up at him, with her sapphire eyes, defiantly. Anger was blazing in them, and her power was flowing around her, fighting with his Youkai.

"You don't scare me a bit. I don't give a damn if you think your all tough and mighty. You are nothing then a cold, cruel, arrogant, hard headed dog!" Kagome yelled at him.

"You, human are way out of line. You must be screaming for death. Like I've said before, your actions will be your undoing." Sesshomaru, said angrily in her ear. Digging his claws harder into her arms. She didn't flinch or cry out. She just stared back at him. He was so close to her now, he could smell her scent as strongly as ever. "She smells like Sakura blossoms and Jasmine...she smells...perfect." Sesshomaru thought. He watched her struggle with the pain, she wouldn't give up, nor admit defeat.

"Go back to your own time, human. You have no reason to be here. You are far from loved, cared for, or even...wanted." Sesshomaru whispered coldly in her ear.

"Oh right away, how am I supposed to get home...when I can't even get through the bone eaters well? Naraku has oh so kindly decided to seal up the well. Have any answers for that, oh great one?" Kagome

spat.

"You are a useless human." Sesshomaru retorted back. Her energy was now flowing through him, painfully. But neither he would give up.

"I am not a useless human! I am much more then you are. At least I can care, I can love, I have feelings. You on the other hands, are nothing more then a dog. Actually, you are lower then one. You don't even have respect for anything around you. You have no care for the feelings of others, and you are as ready to kill as always. You may be powerful, but your nothing more then that."

"Human, you will regret your words." Sesshomaru said.

"I regret nothing!" Kagome yelled back at him, blasting her energy at full force at Sesshomaru.

He didn't move, or even flinch. 'This human, she can't be...he one. He remembered the prophecy of the human girl. The all powerful Miko that would purify the dark, into light." Sesshomaru thought.

He was still holding her, watching as her hair flared, and her eyes blazed with anger. With every last inch of power she had in her, she let all her energy out of her, aiming at Sesshomaru.

He held her, feeling the full force of her attack. It wasn't weak at all, but she should have been smarter. It took a lot to harm this Sesshomaru. She stared at him, her eyes closing, and her breaths getting weaker every second.

'Her scent, her defiance, her anger, her will power, and determination...why.' Sesshomaru thought as he let go of her arms and let her fall onto his chest.

He held her close to her, she was of course unconscious.
