Recap: ...little did both know that a pair of enraged dark blue eyes watched them from behind a tree inside….End recap

Kagome had just finished tying a giant bow in her obi, and slipping on her flats when Sesshoumaru growled menacingly at the intruder within the barrier. She tired to step forward but was stopped by his arm holding her back gently. She screamed when the dark figure had stepped out of the trees. Her eyes became fearful and her heart beat three times faster. There stood the one other person she could've trusted. It was Masitu, her well trusted childhood friend. Long midnight blue hair swept across her face leaving everything but her eyes covered, which were like a fierce water storm. Her sky blue kimono was ripped into between her chest, and tattered and frayed on the ends. Her pink obi stained with blood along with her elegant claws that dripped with an unknown animal's blood. Sesshoumaru growled loudly and drew his sword, Masitu barked at Sesshoumaru and the tried to push him aside, however Kagome pushed down Sesshoumaru's arm and stepped around him.

Kagome knew this day would've come sooner or later. She ran a hand through her hair and pulled out a holy sword hidden within her kimono. She bowed to Masitu who bowed back with an evil smirk covering her face. Kagome charged forward her sword held at an angle. Masitu jumped barely dodging the swords path. Their swords clashed moments later and sparks flew wildly in all directions. Kagome let out a loud growl lose before charging at Masitu again. For the second time sparks flew from their violently clashing swords. Masitu yelled when they had jumped apart "Kagome! HOW COULD YOU! You promised we'd never submit to the will of a man! YOU LIED TO ME! YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR LIFE!" Kagome jumped into the air, and gracefully landed behind Masitu. And blood flew from her body as a sword surrounded by a dark purple light protruded from her body.

Then with a hint of sadness and regret Kagome spoke shakily "Masitu, I am sorry for your misfortune, but do not take out on my happiness. I found love, and it was fate. You however went against your heart and were raped by the man who loved you most. And for that I am sorry. My friend please pass on in peace. I hope you find happiness there." Kagome let got of the sword and watched as it disappeared and turned to ashes. Masitu's limp, and lifeless body fell to the ground with a sickening thud. Kagome cried out in sorrow and held herself as she fell to the ground. Tears fell freely from her eyes as she thought of what she had just done.

Quickly Sesshoumaru rushed to her side and held her until her tears of remorse had stopped. Kagome raised her head from against Sesshoumaru's chest to look at the dead body of Masitu. Kagome turned her head into Sesshoumaru's chest again and clutched his shoulders as she sobbed again. Not much was said between the couple as Sesshoumaru dug a grave by a small waterfall. Both said a silent prayer together, Kagome squeezed his hand tightly and tears fell from her eyes for the third time that evening. The pain in her heart seemed to grow with each passing moment.

With caring hands Sesshoumaru picked up Kagome bridal style and slowly walked out of the grave site and walked quickly towards the village. Just as dark clouds appeared over the village Sesshoumaru had stepped out of the woods. He looked down to see Kagome burry her face in his chest as rain gently poured down on them.

(With Songo and Miroku)

"Songo hurry! Sesshoumaru's back with Kagome! One of the villagers saw them come of the forest!" Miroku shouted the joy evident in his voice. Songo slipped on her shoes and ran out Miroku right on her tail, each step they took seemed to go slower then the last until the came to a skidding stop 5 feet from Sesshoumaru and the limp sleeping form of Kagome. They looked happy but when Sesshoumaru's faced saddened they rushed forward and looked at Kagome's limp feverish body. Their faces went from joyful to fearful and worried in an instant. "Songo. Miroku. Please take care of Kagome until I return. I need to gather medicinal herbs for her wounds, and pains she is having at the current point in time." Sesshoumaru quickly spoke a small blush upon his cheeks as he finished speaking. Songo grinned at Sesshoumaru and Miroku looked confused, and Songo rolled her eyes and whispered into his ear what Sesshoumaru meant by that. As soon as Songo finished Miroku coughed in embarrassment and Sesshoumaru's blushed was now a modest pink-red.

The couple nodded and Songo took Kagome gently from Sesshoumaru's arms. Miroku ran back ahead of Songo to prepare the room set-up for Kagome and Sesshoumaru's arrival. Sesshoumaru turned and left just as he heard Kagome scream his name as she woke. He looked down and walked away, and slowly headed towards the edge of the mountains to gather the herbs from a hermit called "Sar" who lived by the edge of the mountains.

(With Kagome, Songo, and Miroku)

Kagome had awoken as Sesshoumaru started to leave. She screamed out his name until she had lost her voice and all she could do was cry. A sharp unexplainable pain surged from her stomach and her body went ridged. Songo looked at Miroku worried and all he could do was shrug in confusion.

Songo stood silently and walked out of the hut and called out to Inuyasha. "INUYAHSA! Inuyasha! I need your help! Kagome may be sick! I need you! We need you! Kagome needs you! Please." Tears fell from her eyes as five minutes turned into twenty. Just as she turned to head back into the hut she heard Inuyasha shout back. "She's not gonna be sick on my watch! Show me where she is Songo and I'll see what I can do for her." His last sentence more gentle and caring. Songo nodded her head quickly wiped away tears that remained in her eyes and led Inuyasha back to the hut. As soon as his nose took in Kagome's scent his eyes widened and he let a nervous laugh lose. Miroku looked at Inuyasha and spoke softly. "Well looks like you decided to help Kagome again Inuyasha. I was beginning to think you would never show with the way Songo called for you." Inuyasha sent a glare towards the monk and mumbled something about perverted monks and their rudeness.

Songo sat on the right of Miroku and held his hand tightly as Inuyasha put a small cut on his wrist. Inuyasha opened Kagome's lips and squeezed the cut causing blood to spill into Kagome's small mouth. Her hand twitched then reached up and grabbed Inuyasha's arm and brought it to her lips and drank his blood slowly. Inuyasha's face was contorted up in pain as she continued to suck his blood. Slowly he pried his arm from her fierce grip before she could lick the wound. He rolled up his sleeves and dipped a small cloth in a basin of water, rung it and gently set it on her forehead. Inuyasha quietly spoke. "So, so she and my half-brother mated? I never thought that…I didn't think that she would be….so soon…normally it takes weeks for a newly transformed demoness to get… How did it happen so soon? Hopefully Sesshoumaru has gone to Sar." Inuyasha mumbled all too loudly.

Songo and Miroku looked at each other shocked at his response. Both of them had expected him to throw a fit, and scream at the ill-stricken Kagome. Inuyasha looked to Songo and then shifter his eyes down to Kagome. She nodded and ushered the pervert out the door, he nodded his head and she left the hut as well leaving the two alone for what might me the last time. "Kagome. I know that I've made you unhappy, and made you feel like a mere image of Kikyou, but now I see that you're not. You are your own person, you are no one else, but Kagome. The person who has loved me for who I am. I understand that you no longer love me as you once did and that's fine but know that I am always here for you." He gently kissed her and called in the couple sitting under a shady tree.

The couple filed in with a small child in between them "Mommy!! Rin missed you so much!! Rin was so worried that Mommy was…was..." Rin was unable to finish her sentence because she had burst into uncontrollable tears. While pouring out tears from her deep pools of brown Rin had flung herself over Kagome's body. As she continued to cry Kagome's hand had begun to rub circles on Rin's back Some thirty minutes later her crying has turned to sniffles and small faint hiccups. Inuyasha gently lifted Rin off of Kagome and set her gently onto a futon next to Songo. Songo coughed and pointed at the door. Inuyasha dragged Miroku out by his collar and sat under a tree with the mumbling monk next to him. His ears twitched at the sound of clothing being removed. He shook his head and pressed his ears flat against his skull. Songo stuck her hand out in the threshold and motioned for them to come back in again. The two males walked in and turned away in horror when they saw the bruises that covered Kagome's arms, mid stomach, lower legs, and shoulders. Her left shoulder down to her breasts was wrapped in bandages. They looked to Songo and she shook her head sadly. "She hasn't spoken since Sesshoumaru left to get the herbs." Songo finished with a heavy sigh. Miroku sighed deeply and left again to meditate under the tree. Rin had fallen asleep while Inuyasha and Songo quietly conversed about Kagome's condition and whether or not the emotional scars on her heart would ever fully heal, even after Sesshoumaru came back to her.

Tired of arguing about Kagome's condition, Songo woke Rin, and walked outside with her. Inuyasha remained seated, he couldn't leave Kagome. If he did there might have been the chance when Kagome tired to make a run for it, while no one watched her. He shook his head, how could he be so distrusting with Kagome?! He knew for a fact that Kagome would never leave with serious injuries. He sighed for what seemed to be the nineteenth time that day. Hours turned to days, days turned to weeks, and weeks turned into months, and there was still no sign of Sesshoumaru.
