A/N: Sorry again I know my updates are sporadic but I actually broke my toe (yes my toe the little thing on your foot) earlier this week but enough of my excuses hope you enjoy the chapter and please don't forget to review! : )

"Ting" "Ting" "Ting" Kagome moaned in pain as she awoke to the sound."Did I wake you?" Kagome allowed a moment for her pain filled head to stop spinning. Slowly she sat up and opened her eyes."Hm" She mumbled as her vision finally cleared and she saw whom it was that spoke. Gasping she grabbed the feather soft sheets and wrapped them around herself more securely.

"Sesshomaru!" She hissed as she shook her head remembering his question."N..No I.." She cut herself short as she fully took in her surroundings noticing she wasn't in her home."Um Where am I?"She softly said turning as she did so. A slight blush stained her cheeks."In my home I knew not where you kept your keys." Sesshomaru calmly explained. He watched her avoid his gaze. Gently touching her shoulder to bring back her attention, he held out a small tea-cup to her."What's this?" Sesshomaru smirked as he motioned again for her to take the cup.

"It's just tea, I thought you would want it after yesterday's events."He further explained. She mumbled her "thanks" and accepted the heated drink. He watched closely as she cautiously lifted the cup to her full lips. His widening a fraction at her moan of delight. She savored the taste.
"Did you, put honey in this?" she carefully asked meeting his gaze. Seeing the expecting look in her eye, he finally nodded his head in response. She looked down to the cup only to look back at him in confusion."How? How did you know?"Another smirk appeared on his ethereal face as a soft chuckle slipped out causing her to blink in surprise.

"I saw you put it in the last time at your home."She looked down shaking her head as a smirk crept on to her own face."You really are perspective you know that?" Bending down to take a cup of his own,he lifted the cup off of the side table.
He continued to watch her from his seat next to the bed. She tried to avoid his gaze and drink her tea but his eyes made her self consious."Why are you staring at me?" Sesshomaru looked off to the side only to return his gaze back to her."Can I not look at you?" At this she blushed not really knowing how to take his question.

"I really messed up huh?" Kagome quietly said as she stared in to her half empty cup. Sesshomaru not comfortable with her tone, ran his hand through his hair in unease."It would have happen eventually." Kagome looked up in confusion."Your power is to strong to be suppressed forever eventually your restraints would have given in." He continued as a knock came at the door.

Looking up Kagome looked to Sesshomaru in question."Um..come in." Kagome said after a brief silence. Kikyo opened the door and ran to meet her on the bed."Are you ok? How do you feel? I brought aspirin." Kikyo ranted as she held on tight to her cousin."I'm fine my head does hurt though." Kikyo reached in her pocket and pulled out a small bottle. Shaking out two pills she gave a sympathetic smile and handed them to Kagome.

"Where is the half-breed now?"Kikyo who previously forgot about older demon turned to release Kagome."Inuyasha's still asleep." She said blushing a bit at his question knowing she spent the night in the half demon's room while he slept on the couch."On a first name basis?" Sesshomaru teased as he saw her blush deepen."We talk that's all." Kikyo looked away once more only to look back between the tall demon and her cousin."He's one year younger than me there's no reason to be formal." she continued in a rush as if to explain her casual relations with the half demon rationally.

Sesshomaru gave her a side glance in response but remained silent."So when do I go back?" Kagome said to break the silence. Sesshomaru though he acted nonchalant inside, was disappointed that she wished to return home so soon. "I will awaken the half demon we'll leave afterwards."

Sesshomaru finally said as he moved to get up from his seat in an attempt to save his pride . Though she was none the wiser that she wished to leave him so soon greatly bothered him. His Pride was hurt that she would rather go back to a hole in the wall (or in this case a home in a bridge ) then spend any more time with him. Though he knew logically that was not the case,a small part of him still held a level of doubt. It was not something he was use to.

"Sesshomaru...Thank you, for everything." Said a blushing Kagome as she watched him pause in his stride and turn to nod in her direction."We will leave shortly." He said before continuing his way to the half demons room where he slept on his couch.

"half-breed the women wish to depart." Sesshomaru said as he kicked the sleeping half demon off the couch sounding with a loud "Thud" and an angry growl from the young male who just face planted on to the wooden floor."What the hell prick!" yelled a now very angry half demon to his brother.
"Hn" Sesshomaru coolly replied before turning to leave but not before Inuyasha got his say."Hey Prick I'm talkin to you." yelled a now irate half demon."I am done talking to you, make hast." Sesshomaru called behind as his monotone voice carried back to the now fuming Inuyasha who punched the neighboring couch in frustration.

"Do you...do you think the principle really reported us?" Asked a now unsure Kagome as the party moved cautiously down the street."I have no doubt in my mind. He sure looked serious when he said it."Kikyo said as she turned to her cousin noticing the other woman's ski-dish body language.
"No matter what happens we stay ." Kikyo softly spoke as she gazed at Kagome in a comforting way. Taking a deep breath Kagome smiled and nodded her head in return.

"Hey Prick why you making us walk this whole way huh?" Inuyasha grumbled as he drug his feet behind the girls."Shush" Sesshomaru motioned his hand down the hill in front of them as he saw two black cars parked at the bridge. It was then that Inuyasha could hear the voices of others and saw Kagome's door broken in. So fixated on the intruders down bellow it wasn't until Inuyasha spoke that Sesshomaru realized his mistake."Yo prick we gots uninvited company." Inuyahsa yelled as four demons appeared from the side and behind.

Never one to waste time Inuyasha cracked his knuckles in preparation of what would soon be a heavy fight as he pushed the girls further behind him. It was then that one demon went to reach around the half demon to grab at the girls. This resulting in a fist to the face as another demon jumped on his back trying to choke him. Sesshomaru jumped in to action feeling his fingers burn. A familiar sensation of poison rushing to his finger tips.

The screams of the demon on Inuyasha's back sounded loud in the air as Sesshomaru's whip ripped open the skin on its face and continued until there was nothing left of the demon. A vociferous cry of "iron reaver soul stealer," was heard from the half demon as more and more demon came to replace the once he and Sesshomaru cut down. "cover the girls." ordered Sesshomaru as he jumped high above the others getting a bird's eye view of the onslaught of demon that persisted in coming forth. Seeing where most where he released a gust of his poison successfully either killing or physically impairing the demons long enough for him to get the girls out.

"Take the girls to the house." Sesshomaru command to the half-breed who was in the middle of braking the neck of the demon.
"I aint leaving you here you prick!" Inuyasha said as he kicked another demon away that slipped passed during the commotion and attempted to move Kikyo. It was then that Sesshomaru realized what was going on. Why would you push aside something you wish to trap? The answer was you wouldn't. They were not after the girls they were after Kagome specifically.

"This is not a request take them both now." Sesshomaru was dismayed at the thought of some possibly taking Kagome from him and his brother was not acting in his right mind (Not that he did normally).

"Fine but if you don't come back before dark I'm commin to get your ass!" hollered the half demon as he fought forwards through the mess of fallen demon. He was dragging each girl by the arm as they reached the car Kagome struggled to get out of Inuyasha's grasp.
"We can't really leave him here. There are so many still coming." Said a now very distressed Kagome when she was unable to break the half demons hold on her wrist. Kikyo knowing they had to go and coming up with the same conclusion Sesshomaru did, knew she had to persuade Kagome against staying.

"You are not yet fully trained Kagome,you would be a hindrance in his efforts to rid the demon if you stay." Kikyo tried to reason with her hoping her words would sink in fully."I don't care I want to help him I can't just let him fight alone. I know I can help."Inuyasha who finally had to let go of the girls to fight off two more spawn demons grew tired of Kagome's stubborn nature."You really doubt the prick that much? He may be a prick but this shit is his strong hold, he'll be fine. Ya think he would make me leave if he wasn't confident? Regardless what you think, me and Sesshomaru aint close there's no unbreakable brotherly bond or some shit like that. He aint tryin to protect my ass and I aint stayin here to have him rag on my ass later so get your ass in the car!"

Kagome startled a bit starred wide-eyed at him like he had gone insane or grew an extra had never yelled at her like that during the entire time she had known the half demon. Sure he had a temper but never was his anger directed so much at her that he would yell at her that way. As she continued to glare at him while her confusion turned to anger she saw worry in his eyes.

It was then that she realized he was worried for her and that was why he was so angry. So taking a deep breath she nodded her head and gave in taking the back seat while Kikyo took shot-gun. Inuyasha banged a demons head off of the driver side door as he quickly got in and started the engine while other demons tried to follow. Kagome looked out of the rear window think of the fight just over the hill they were on previously and begged that Sesshomaru would make out ok on his own.

Sesshomaru was surrounded but unafraid. He stood motionless as the breeze passed threw his bangs covering his normally viewable crescent moon. A low growl was heard as Sesshomaru grew tired of waiting. Just as he was going to make his move he heard foot steps. The crowd parted seemingly in silence as a lone dark figure emerged in front of him.

"Please excuse my...associate they can be a bit shall I say, course in their greeting."Sesshomaru assessed the demon and soon found a variety of reasons why he felt a distaste for the male in front of him. Inky black hair and red eyes signifying him as a spider in species. Sneaky and conniving in personality. He then looked at the demons attire. He could tell he came from wealth if the lapels on his suite and diamonds on his watch were anything to go by.

"Your (Associates) as you call them assaulted and broke in to a young women's home, I do believe that is still against the law even for a demon of wealth such as your self." Sesshomaru calmly stated as he grew board the conversation.

"Oh you misunderstand young lord. Oh yes I do know of whom you are but you are mistaken unfortunately. See I came to visit a friend when there was no answer at the door. Well I was so concerned for her welfare that my associate assisted in confirming no harm came to fall on her. Though a bit hasty I admit certainly nothing against the law." The demon finished with a well-groomed smirk on his face another thing that left Sesshomaru with a bad taste in his mouth.

"I do believe it is you who are mistaken, my brother and myself are the only acquaintances of the young women who resides in the home you have thoroughly destroyed. I am sure she is more than happy to inform the police of the same." Sesshomaru was getting more and more irritated with this song and dance of words and if not for that fact that he needed to know why this demon was after Kagome, would have already decapitated the male for irritation alone.

"The police you say. Hmm I wonder how corroborative they will be after knowing her a miko. So traditional those demon are do you not agree?" The demon was clever he would give him that but spiders were well known for their word games and hidden truths.
"What business do you have with the women who lives here?" Sesshomaru got straight to the point not willing to waste any more time. "Well you are bold are you not young lord?" The demon sneered as he walked around Sesshomaru almost as if he were looking for a week spot and Sesshomaru knew better than to give anything away keeping his tone neutral during the entire interaction with the dark demon.

"OK young lord you found me out I have not formally met the young Kagome as you know. I however was at a time acquainted with her mother and did not want Kagome to face the same tragic fate." Sesshomaru though calm and nonchalant on the outside was snarling on the inside. The thought of this demon being anywhere near Kagome was something he refused to have happen.

"I can assure you Kagome is safe and will never befall the same hardship as her fellow miko predecessors. I will take my leave now don't bother following you will not be able to enter the estate." Sesshomaru called behind him as he turned and casually walked away. Not missing a beat as he felt the change in breeze signifying the demons attack from behind. Sesshomaru stepped to the side causing the demon to reroute himself in front to prevent from falling on the ground. The demon took an offensive stance as he once more began to speak.

"Though you are strong (pup) you are still to young to play with the big boys. I do believe I have been more than a gentleman in regards to your obvious disrespect." He put much emphasis on the word hoping to get a reaction from the otherwise stoic young lord.
"I am no pup by definition and you are most certainly not a gentleman though you do clearly try to compensate for that fact." Sesshomaru calmly said as he motioned towards the demons attire.

The demon just smirked. If Sesshomaru had gone through his maturity he might not have been so confident but the boy was clearly no more than twenty years of age at best. On average a dog demon only matured at twenty-five at the very earliest.

"Big words for some one so inept." Said the demon before he attacked with lightning speed that Sesshomaru was having difficulty in surpassing. Not for nothing, though he had an extreme distaste for the demon in front of him, Sesshomaru acknowledged the demon's strength and speed as he sustained a hit to the side.

A tentacle shot out from the demon above it was becoming increasingly hard for Sesshomaru to doge the tentacles that seemingly came from no where. He had to battle the demon's increased speed coupled with the new wound at his side, he knew in his current state he would only last another few minutes a half hour at best. Sesshomaru was not feeble by any means but he knew better than to under-estimate his opponents and this was a spider he was dealing with. A very conniving one at that.

"Your slowing down pup do you need a break?" The demon taunted as he saw Sesshomaru hold his side while dodging another one of his tentacles. Sesshomaru growled under his breath at the demons snide remark but still would not give in to any reaction knowing if he did the demon would win for certain.

When Sesshomaru did not give him any reaction the demon tried a different angle to get at him."You know I never met Kagome but I know her mother was very attractive I can't wait to see for myself if she took after her in looks as well as power." He said in a curious tone knowing he had the demon as he impaled him to a neighboring tree through the stomach.

It was then that Sesshomaru felt most defeated that was until the last comet from the demon fully sunk in and he felt a rage like none he had ever felt. A wire within snap as his eyes bled red and his claws and fangs lengthened."Your tricks won't work on me I know all about your kinds partial transformations." Chuckled the vile demon as a satisfied smirk reached his eyes.
A murderous raw and a surge of unknown power wiped that smirk from said demons face as the Inu began moving after cutting through the tentacles that previously bound him to the tree.

Sesshomaru never felt this way. His beast's voice rang clearly threw his head like a mantra. It wanted blood, wanted to bathe in the red life substance this demon would soon produce. He felt his power run threw him. It was both energizing and painful as he felt every muscle in his body break and reform. Finlay he began his full transformation.

The demon knew he was in trouble never had an Inu transformed at such a young age. it was just unheard of the fact that this was no mere demon also fueled more fear threw him. He knew he was the son of a great daiyoukai currently one of the strongest demon in all the world.
He looked on with awe and fear as a giant white dog appeared in place of the teenager he was previously battling. It wasn't until the beast began to charge that the demon found the giant dog's speed to far out rival his own and in desperation began hurling tentacles from all directions to hold the beast back.

Sesshomaru fully transformed began anew with his efforts to eradicate the vile filth of a demon who was trying to hold him down with more tentacles. There was no success as he broke through and dripped poison on the ground creating a gas not even the strongest demon could with stand for long periods of time.
The dark demon knew he had to escape or die an early and very painful death. Having no choice left. He called his minions back to distract the beast while he tried his escape.

Sesshomaru saw the onslaught of demon's once more as the spider attempted escape. He made to leap up over the demons only to have four rather large ogre hybrids rip into his feet preventing him from leave unless he dealt with them first. At first it was really quite simple, killing the on coming demon's but as more and more came he soon found out that his large size was both a blessing as well as a hindrance.

He was literally a large target that they all were aiming for. Having transformed previously it made a difficult task to maneuver among the many demon's to prevent injury. Though he was cutting multiple down at a time, due to his size as well as the number of demon, he was being impacted with injury after injury.
He knew it was only a matter of time before they wore him down or worse yet, over take him altogether. He bit,threw,spit and stomped on the numerous demon. Sesshomaru cried out as the demon finally managed to wrangle him down to the ground making him even more vulnerable and unable to transform back due to never having fully transformed to begin with.

Just as the demon's launched atop him he blacked out but not before hearing a thunderous howl as a grateful smirk graced his canine features.
An enormous White dog emerged that dwarfs the fallen one in size. It's gaze fixated on Sesshomaru who now lay motionless on the ground. The demon's who previously were trying to inflict mortal injury to the fallen giant dog, recognized the newcomer for what he truly was. They tried to run in an attempt to flee but with no arrival as a barrier was erected over them. A poisonous gas soon filtered through causing all trapped to die with in minutes. The poison took hold leaving nothing left but bones and a soppy goo of what was previously flesh.

"Sesshomaru!" Was what was heard as the enormous dog reverted to his humanoid form and raced over to the fallen. He was still motionless as his body pulsed and a bright light flashed leaving in its wake a humanoid Sesshomaru in a deep state of unconsciousness.

"My son...no, not you... how can it be you?...It was not your time yet." Said the older dog demon as the last of his words softened to a sorrowful whisper. He rested his son's head on his lap and brushed the blood and dirt soaked hair from the demons bruised and bloodied face.
Knowing he had to get his heir back to the estate,he picked up his son effortlessly and took flight.

"Inuyasha it's been over three hours go find him!" Yelled a now hysterical Kagome as she pushed the half demon towards the door. "He'll be here soon I know it and stop yellin at me it hurtin my ears! " Inuyasha yelled back as Kikyo walked in between the two in an attempt to defuse the fight. "Kagome I'm sure Inuyasha is right besides he specifically said before dark right?" Kikyo calmly said as she rubbed circled on the young women's back in a comforting motion. "The light is fading as we speak we need to find him before..."

Kagome's words were cut short as the front door burst opened to reveal a demon who was a shocking resemblance of both Sesshomaru as well as Inuyasha but in different ways. As the demon moved further in to the house Kagome noticed Sesshomaru in his arms and ran to him instantly as the demon moved him to the large couch.
"Sesshomaru, why is he not waking?" Cried a now petrified Kagome as she touched his face and shook his shoulder attempting to rouse him.

"He has been threw much including a full transformation Kagome." Kagome looked up at the demon with question before Inuyasha spoke once more."Father a full transformation? There's no way he aint old enough yet."The demon looked down at his youngest with a hand raised to silence the pup."I have witnessed this with my own eyes, what I say is true. He needs time to recover Kagome he may not wake for several days depending on the energy he has depleted."

At this kagome looked up at the demon with curiosity and question in her gaze from her place on the floor beside the couch. She finally asked what all were trying to figure out."You called me by name. Do I know you?"
