Chapter Four: Changes in White

...there stood Sesshomaru, and the fury that he beheld. His eyes were red like the angry sea before the storm. He looked immediately to where Rin was still in the guards grip. He sped to her side and ripped the man to shreds while he gathered her in his arm. Then he flung around to Inuyasha, Kikyou, and Anotoshi. He spit at the thought of having to see his bastard half brother have anything to do with this. If he had any help in harming Rin he was sure that a quick death was far too good for him, he would kill his woman before he let him slip into death. But then Sesshomaru noticed that there on the floor laid the wench. Why was she not in Inuyasha's arms? He could smell Inuyasha upon the dead priestess. Disgusting… but he had no time to ponder over his brothers stupidity he had to kill the bastard that had kidnapped Rin in the most horrible way possible. Yes, that was what he would do.

Kagome opened her eyes and found that she had passed out, but not for very long. She looked up to see Sesshomaru standing near the door holding Rin; his eyes looked a fiery crimson red as he was looking at Anotoshi. Oh great if Anotoshi, or Inuyasha and Kikyou don't kill me there is always Sesshomaru. Kagome chuckled bitterly to her self when she realized someone had called to her, she spun her head to see Sesshomaru.

"Woman, if you value your life look after Rin." Sesshomaru bit out icily, he had seen this woman care for Rin on a few occasions and he needed someone to watch her right now while he killed that man.

Kagome took Rin carefully from Shessomaru's arm and held her close to her chest making sure that Rin was all right after almost being strangled.

Sesshomaru launched in the direction of the fox demon his sword in his out stretched hand ready to slice him. Anotoshi rapidly threw himself to the right but before he could get his footing, Sesshomaru was already headed in his direction. Anotoshi then abandoned his human form. Fire spiraling brightly around his large fox frame and he thrust into the corner on the other side of the room, but he never made it over there. Sesshomaru caught him in his midsection before he had left his spot. The tokijin cut right through Anotoshi.

Sesshomaru watched in seething masked anger as Anotoshi's body withered slowly away into nothing but a bloody pile of ash. Sesshomaru turned around to see Kagome over looking Rin's body with worried expressions. He then dashed quickly to the other side of the room; he had no intention of wasting his time with his half brother and his new wench. He quickly lifted both of them into his arm and out the door only to place them onto Ah-Un and fly directly towards his castle.

"Damn, what the hell got into Sesshomaru" the imitation Inuyasha moved towards Kikyou.

"You have fulfilled your purpose puppet." Kikyou lifted a hand and destroyed Naraku's puppet. As she did Inuyasha ran through the door.

"Kikyou…" Inuyasha was out of breath from running all the way there. He looked from the pile of bloody ash on the floor too Kikyou and the demon puppet of Naraku that she had just destroyed. His rage started to build as he thought.

"Did Naraku try another attempted on your life?" Worry interlaced Inuyasha's voice so strongly.

"Why would he…"Kikyou bluntly replied

His mouth agape Inuyasha was at a loss for words…"What do you mean 'why would he' Kikyou he wants you dead don't you get that!" Inuyasha took a step towards her.

"Ah, but in that assumption you are very wrong Inuyasha." Kikyou looked to the door to see Kagura landing out side, "He and I are very much in love."

xXxXxXx

"Miroku do you ever think that we will find her?" Shippo asked. Even though he was young, Shippo could feel the tension in the air and he wanted at most to relive it.

"I………I don't know Shippo…" Miroku sounded crestfallen and broken.

The group had been looking for almost three hours with no sign of Kagome, and now Inuyasha was gone.

"What if Kikyou and Kagome were together?" The air stiffened as if it had been mixed with concrete.

Sango was tired but she was determined to find Kagome, and no means would she give up hope that Kagome was……no she would not let her thoughts go there. Kagome was alive and she WAS going to find her even if it took her two days or a year! With new determination distilled in her, Sango remembered something that may just help them find Kagome.

"Hey guys! I think that Kiara may be our key to finding Kagome." Shippo and Miroku both stopped searching and looked straight at her.

"How?" Shippo had no idea as to what she meant, and his face betrayed him telling that he was lost at her words, and even Miroku looked half bewildered in a daze.

"Why don't we just let her go off and try to find Kagome's sent on her own and come back to get us when she has…"

"But wouldn't that be putting her into A LOT of danger Sango?" Shippo tilled his head at Miroku's question. He was right leaving Kiara all alone with no other means of protection did not seem like a very smart idea.

"Yes…but…" Sango sighed. She had to say it, everyone was thinking it and she needed just for it to at least be finally out in the open so that they can just stop pretending…

"With every passing hour Kagome could be dead and I do not want to take that risk. I love and respect her to much to spend precious time to look for her. I would rather have kiara look, find her sent, and help us because I know that neither you, Miroku, nor I can smell her sent. I don't think that it would be very wise to leave it all up to Shippo. Also, he is not a full-grown demon yet and who knows what kinds of danger may be out there waiting. So please could we at least try it? You know that all of us are slowing her down and if she just goes off and finds her maybe than we can actual figure out how it is that we indented on saving her."

Sango inhaled deeply, trying to see if any of her words had reached them. Please let them understand.

"Alright."

"What?... but Miroku it-" But Shippo never did get to argue because as soon as Miroku had said okay Sango had started to guide Kiara to the ground so that they could depart and walk on foot while she flew on looking for Kagome.

xXxXxXx

"He and I are very much in love." How could that be, what is going on! None of this is making any sense, surely Kikyou can't love that bastard, and he is trying to kill her! I know that she tried to kill me but that wasn't her fault…and she knows that I love her right? What if Naraku is controlling her? NO I let him get her… this is all my fault. How can I help her?

Inuyasha's face gave way to his in-depth thoughts. Kikyou all but cared, knowing that Kagura was there to get her now meant that she didn't have to deal with him until later. All though I love the chance of such a sweet revenge…

Kikyou ignored Inuyasha and just kept walking right past him towards Kagura and smirked as she passed him watching his mouth fall agape.

"WAIT, Kikyou!" Inuyasha grabbed her arm

"What do you want now Inuyasha…" Kikyou sighed, she'd had enough of Inuyasha to last herself forever.

"WHERE are you going? That is KARUGA! She is with Naraku. He must be controlling you, fight it…Please Kikyou…" the pleading in his voice made Kikyou sick to her stomach. He was reduced to groveling and she hadn't even actually done anything…yet…

"I think you may not have heard me Inuyasha. Right now I don't want to deal with you" Kikyou looked intensely knowing that Kagura was eavesdropping on their conversation "I am with Naraku, not you. I have given myself to him and will no longer associate myself with pathetic demons like yourself. Oh wait, your not even a full demon." Kikyou let the last words slip off her lips like a slow poison, knowing how long it would take for Inuyasha to fully comprehend and by that time she would be long gone.

"………why?" Inuyasha's ears were flat against his head and he tried to understand what was going on.

Why is she doing this? Is it Naraku that is making her or is she on her own…no she would never be controlled by Naraku she is to strong…

But by the time Inuyasha looked up he saw that Kikyou and Kagura we lifting into the air and he watched as they speed off into the darkening sky and its black heart.

xXxXxXx

Why did he take me with him… Kagome had been trying to figure this out for at least an hour. She held Rin in her lap sitting on Ah-Un but she had no idea what could have compelled Sesshomaru to save her.

"…um…Sesshomaru…-sama…" She added the sama just in case, she didn't want to impose on Sesshomaru , especially when he had already saved her life when he didn't have to.

With out slowing his pace or even turning around from the direction he was flying Sesshomaru answered her, "What wench."

Now wait a damn minute he did not just call me wench. He sure as hell knows my name, and I was respectful to him what the…

"Speak" Sesshomaru bit out icily. He did not like to wait.

"Wha-…oh… I was just wondering where we are going?" Kagome tried really hard to stop her anger before any thing became of it, as far as she was concerned she really liked living.

She is angry. What right does this wench have to be angry with me for. Did this Sesshomaru not just save her pathetic little nigen life…

"That is none of your concern wench." Sesshomaru placing ice in his voice to provoke her.

That was it she just didn't understand why he was doing this, saving her and then insulting her it made no sense but first things first she had a name and he was going to use it!

"My name is Kagome. Ka-Go-Me! So use it, have I offended you, I think not lord Sesshomaru-SAMA" She said forcefully with as much authority as one could muster knowing that you are in the air with a powerful demon lord who had no problem of reliving you from your problems, case and point: living. But some of her worries were replaced by anger so that when she spoke she sounded rather pissed off.

"You will know your place wench. This Sesshomaru will address you as he feels."

Yea, yea you do as you well damn please anyway. I will address your sorry ass how ever I please in my head so ha! Then again I probably should thank him for saving me…

But before Kagome's thoughts went any further a castle arose from the shadows of the mountains and she saw that they were being to descend to the soft , foggy ground below.

xXxXxXx

Kiara noticed Kagome's sent rapidly and followed it straight to where Inuyasha was still standing his eyes filled with pain and confusion. She looked up at him and told him to come back with her.

Before they left Inuyasha noticed that he could now smell a faint trace of Kagome, Sesshomaru and Rin. But that thought went to the back of his mind as he tried to grasp his newly found loss.

Flying straight back to where Sango, Shippo and Miroku; Kiara slowed and landed gently so that Inuyasha could slide off her back.

"Kiara did you find her!?" Sango frantically asked the moment she had landed.

"Inuyasha…" Miroku was really pissed off. He walked over and was going to give him a good kick for going and chasing after Kikyou…that was, until he saw his face.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong" Sango asked patting him on his arm the pain and emptiness that shown in his eyes was so great he looked as if he was ready to die.

"She's gone" His head sunk and his ears flattened against his head.

"KAGOME!?, she is dead!"

"What…" Inuyasha's head shot up.

Oh yea Kagome, I forgot.

"No Kikyou, she said that…that she is with Naraku and that she never wanted to 'deal' with me again." His heart felt every emotion he could think of, hatred at Naraku for taking the woman he loved twice, sadness for having Kikyou leave him, despair for his lack of ideas on what to do, and embarrassment at forgetting about Kagome.

"Inuyasha forget about Kikyou then, we need to FIND KAGOME, She could be DEAD!" Miroku shook Inuyasha as he spoke.

"I remember her scent with Kikyou's. She had been at the cabin…" Inuyasha paused as the realization of an idea popped into his head. " Along with Sesshomaru, and Rin…DAMN SHESSHOMARU he must have taken her!" Inuyasha starting to fume at the thought of Sesshomaru looking let alone touching Kagome made his blood burn. He could not have her; He had just lost the woman that he loved the most today he would not lose his shard detector too!

"Let's go back the cabin you are talking about and see if you can follow their tail Inuyasha."

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo packed onto Kiara and then flew off in the direction of which would lead to two paths: Love or Ruin.

"When I find him he better pray to Kami that he didn't hurt her." Inuyasha raced off into the night leaving a string of uttered curse words in his absence with his Kagome in his sights…

Sesshomaru: Not so cunning that half-breed, but I guess that is what you get

Inuyasha: You Bastard you took my woman

Sesshomaru: Correction, brother, I was simply investing in my own happiness

Dream: Don't worry Inuyasha you can have that ceramic jar over there

.: Inuyasha walks over:.

Dream: No not that one! At what time did I say Kikyou...oh, awkward… (Awkward turtle moment ^_^)
