I do not own Inuyasha, all rights go to Rumiko Takahashi

"Sesshomaru."

Kagome looked at the daiyoukai with a smile. "It has been a long time, girl." Sesshomaru stated to her, words sounding empty, if you really listened though, you could tell he was a bit happy to see her. Kagome kept the smile on her face not offended by being called girl. "Well, I see you have left Rin in the village. Feel free to say why?" Kagome asked. 'I thought he would take her with him, but i guess I was wrong.' Kagome thought to herself, waiting for an answer from the inu lord. "She will choose her path when she is older." Sesshomaru replied to Kagome, then turned his eyes to his half-brother. "So I see you have chosen?" Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at him straight in the eye, as if sending a message to his brother, just by looking at him. "I see, I respect your choice." Sesshomaru told him, receiving a nod from Inuyasha. Kagome looked confused, but shrugged it off. "I will be going now." Sesshomaru said turning to rin. "Be careful." He said, then was off. Looking at Inuyasha, Kagome smiled. "So, what choice is he talking about?" she asked him, receiving a blush from the hanyou. "Nothing, it doesn't matter, lets just eat." Inuyasha said blushing red.

Kagome, and Inuyasha ate the breakfast that Kaede prepared, said goodbye to Rin, then headed to Sango, and Miroku's hut. "So, how have you two been?" Miroku asked Kagome, and Inuyasha. "Well, and you? I know it must get busy over here being the father of two lively twins, and a new born!" Kagome replied to Miroku then shifted her gaze to Sango. She was holding Shinsco in one arm, and making lunches for the twins with the other. "Yes it gets very lively as you see, I need another arm!" Sango said exhausted. Kagome laughed and looked over to the silent hanyou. "Hey, you okay?" She asked putting a hand on his arm to get his attention. Inuyasha looked over to her, mind busy. "I could have sworn I just smelled a youkai, but I guess it was nothing." He told her. Sango put Shinsco in their bed, and joined the other three on the floor. The four chatted about life, and caught up, making plans for the wedding, and talking about how many kids they want, or want to get rid of. "Wait, there it is again, the scent of a bear youkai!" Inuyasha said standing up. Miroku, Kagome, and Sango looked at him, and stood up also. "Yes, I am definitely sensing a demonic aura now!" Miroku said looking towards the hut door. And thats when they heard it. The village bell, saying there was a youkai in the village, or close. They all ran outside, to see people running into huts, and hiding. "Its over there!" Sango Pointed toward the forest. There they could see a huge bear demon approaching them. "Alright bear, bear, you ready to die?" Inuyasha said approaching the demon, sword swung over shoulder casually. "Give me the girl!" The bear growled out looking at Kagome. "She holds sacred powers I wish to have!" The bear said swinging his paw at her. Inuyasha jumped infant of Kagome, blocking the attack. "Over my dead body!" Inuyasha screamed at the bear, thrusting his sword at it quickly. The bear dodged, and quickly swung his paw at Kagome again, hitting her across the chest leaving three claw marks. Kagome fell back putting her hand to her chest feeling blood coming quickly out the wounds. "Kagome!, Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed at her. 'My vision...Inuyasha...Guys... I can't... I can't speak or move... why-' Kagome thought but passed out from blood loss. "Oh no, Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, trying to run to her, remembered he had to kill the demon, before worse things happened. "You will pay, feel the wrath of my wind scar!" Inuyasha yelled, using the wind scar on the bear. The bear was cut into bits, and pieces. "Its over..." Sango said, rushing to Kagome's side, along with Inuyasha, and Miroku. "We need to get her to kaede...now!" Miroku said as they lifted her. Inuyasha was horrified, and his face said it all. 'Please be okay Kagome...'

"Ye need to place her here!" Kaede commanded as the three lowered Kagome to the ground. Kaede removed Kagome's shirt, and examined the wounds. "This is bad, do ye know what type of bear youkai it was?" She asked turning to Inuyasha. "A bear youkai... I don't know what type. Whats wrong? Will Kagome be Okay?" Inuyasha yelled at the old woman, demanding an answer. Kaede, took a cloth, trying to stop the bleeding. "I don't know if she will be okay, I do need bandage wrap though, immediately! This is not good, she is poisoned with a poison called Hisumanaru." Kaede said, looking at her blood stained hands. Inuyasha got bandage wrap quickly, and handed it to Kaede. Kaede removed Kagome's bra, then started wrapping up Kagome's wound. Blood soaked through the bandages, but was soon covered with more bandaging. Inuyasha listed to her soft, and slow heart beat. "Damn, why does everything bad have to happen now? she just fucking returned and now this!" He said filled with rage. Sango approached him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "She will be okay, I know she will. I need to take care of the kids, I will tell shippo what happened, and send him over with Kirara okay?" Sango said smiling at the inu. He nodded, then looked at the monk. He seemed to be deep in thought, but Inuyasha shrugged it off. Rin approached Kagome, cleaning up the dried blood, and changing the sheets. She looked up at the hanyou to see teary eyes. "Inuyasha, she will be okay, I promise." Rin told him, hugging his shoulders. He simply let out his sobs, that were held in for too long. Rin held him for about an hour, then went to bed. "Inuyasha, I have heard of this poison... I remember now, it causes the person who has it in their system to die in three hours from the time it is applied, but I only know one way to cure it... It is dangerous, I don't know if you can do it." Miroku said looking up to his crying friend. "W-What *sob*d-do i*sob*h-have t-to*sob*do?" Inuyasha asked the monk taking in air, shakily.

"You would have to mate Kagome."
