…...

Amaterasu didn't return to camp till early the next morning. As she stepped through the tree line she was instantly aware of golden eyes glued to her figure. She stalled for a second a blush rising on her cheeks. Even though she couldn't see him a picture of his smug expression flashed through her mind. A low growl escaped her lips as anger overran her embarrassment. How dare that arrogant…..her fist clenched as she sat down her back against a tree facing away from piercing golden eyes. Her eyelids closed for a second enjoying a moment of serenity before the rest of the pack awoke.

However her mind kept flashing to a certain demons face causing her silver eyes to thin. It wasn't fair she sighed how dare that demon think he can waltz into her life and mess up everything she had going for her. She was the Lady of the Southern Lands not some low level demon that would kiss the very ground on which he walked. She could care less where his feet fell she refused to bend to him.

Another sigh escaped her as the anger slowly left her frame. She could deny it forever but if Sesshomaru choose to claim her she would have no say in it. He was stronger in both status and personally. She wouldn't win no matter how much she fought against it and with that in her mind she noticed the humans finally stirring awake. First it was Kagome with a slight yawn sat up in her sleeping bag, glancing around the campsite. Her blue eyes fell on Amaterasu's form and she smiled.

"Good morning Amaterasu"

The demonness smiled as she replied.

"Good morning to you too Kagome would you like any help"

Kagome shook her head yes standing up grabbing a pot from the fire. She walked over and handed Amaterasu the pot a smile on her face.

"Water please"

The demonness moved to her feet in one fluid motion the same second that a red blur dropped from the tree above her. Inuyasha stretched his back smiling at Kagome as he did so.

"Sleep well Kags?" He asked and the demonness smirked when she watched the blush spread over the young Miko's face.

"Yeah I did Yasha" she smiled as she headed back toward the fire. The demonness turned silver eyes on the silver haired Hanyou a smile on her face. Inuyasha glanced at her dull golden eyes narrowing.

"What you smirking at Wench"

As soon as her eyebrow rose he stumbled back his hands up "I didn't mean it"

She laughed as she turned toward the small creek flowing by the campsite. Her elegant form glided out of the site her eyes scanning the surronding forest. When she reached the stream she bent down letting the cool water run over her hands. A sigh left her as she laid the pan aside kneeling down by the stream. She cupped some water before splashing it on her face a smile curving her lips. However, Inuyasha's aura approached hers jerked her from her peaceful relaxation. With a sigh she stood up, pot in hand, and turned to face him.

"Hai Inuyasha?"

He looked uncomfortable standing a few feet away from her. His silver ears where plastered on his head while he shuffled from foot to foot. He went to talk a few times only to stop before turning back toward the camp. A black eyebrow rose and she was beside him in a second.

"What's wrong?"

Dull golden eyes turned to hers a frown on his face.

"What's the bastard want with you" he asked suddenly causing Amaterasu to startle and almost drop the water. Her eyes lowered to the ground and she stopped walking causing the Hanyou to stop as well. His hand landed on her arm as her eyes lifted to his.

"Inuyasha no matter what he wants from me you can't stop him"

A silver eyebrow rose as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Feh whatever women I can beat that bastard any time"

A smile curved her lips as a giggle escaped her.

"Why you laughing"

"Yasha you and me both know if he wanted to kill you, you would be dead already"

"So" he snapped "That doesn't answer my question"

"I'm not sure yet but how its looking he wants me for a mate"

The look that came over Inuyasha's face at that moment in time was priceless as he stuttered to make sense of what just came out of her mouth.

"Mate"

"Hai"

"Like Mate mate"

Another small giggle.

"Hai"

"Why"

She began walking again causing him to too as she pondered his question. With a shrug of her small shoulders she replied.

"I am not sure. True I am stronger then most demonness but I know there has to be someone out there stronger then me"

Silence followed as they walked into the camp and Amaterasu handed the pot of water to Kagome before sitting with her back facing the Western Lord. A week that's about all it would take for them to reach her castle and her brother. However she couldn't help thinking about what Inuyasha had said 'Why' why did he want her as his mate. They didn't even know each other let alone like each other. She didn't like him at all she thought with as glare. He was arrogant, Egotistical, stubborn, everything she hated in a male.

The monk's aura approaching her broke through her thoughts.

"My lady we are leaving"

She smiled at him as she lifted to her feet brushing off the back of her hakama's. She fell into step next to him aware of golden eyes again on her back. A low growl emitted from her causing Miroku to glance at her. She increased her speed till she walked at the front alone. Her eyes scanning the woods she sighed. How would she explain this to her brother. None of the other Taiyoukai where suppose to know she was alive. She liked it that way and so did he. Now though the most powerful of the Taiyoukai had taken to her and she didn't know what to do.

Osamu hadn't heard from her in over one hundred and fifty years and now in less then a week she would be standing in front of him trying to explain how the Inu Taiyoukai had found her. Great just great she thought as she rolled her eyes. Like Osamu could survive a fight with him over her honor. It was no secret to the siblings that she was the stronger and if she couldn't defeat the Killing Perfection then neither could he.

Without breaking in her steady walk she pulled her sword free her eyes turning to the woods next to her. She sensed Inuyasha doing the same behind her as a low level Ogre demon jumped from the tree lines.

"Give me the jewel" it growled out the same time Amaterasu sliced through its neck causing its head to fall onto the ground. She turned to Kagome.

"Any shards"

"No"

They continued on till they reached the outskirts of Edo all the villagers visibly shrank away from both Amaterasu and Sesshomaru till Kagome reassured them that both demons meant no harm.

Amaterasu walked from the village to lean against a tree her silver eyes fixed on the hut that contained the monk, slayer, human child, and fox kit. Inuyasha had went with Kagome to her home and try as she might she couldn't feel Sesshomaru's aura. Once aware that there was no threat in the area she closed her eyes awaiting the return of her pack.
