After stopping a few times they had finally made their way to the middle of nowhere, it was getting dark so Kagome started to gather firewood.

"Where is Sesshomaru..."

Kagome was sitting near the fire playing with the ring on her finger, she felt bad for just leaving the way she did and she hoped to be back within a day.

"Is everything alright?" Izayoi asked sitting next to her

"Finally asleep?"

"So much excitement for him" she smiled "what is it that you have been playing with?"

"Oh it's a wedding ring"

"A wedding ring?"

"It's a promise to be together forever"

"So you have someone waiting for you?"

"Yeah" she smiled looking over at Inuyasha

Her smile started to vanish as she remembered the look on Inuyasha's face when she left.

"I hope I still do..." she sighed out loud

"Did you have a fight?"

"No and that's what worries me"

Kagome looked over at Izayoi and saw the confused look on her face.

"we always fight, about everything, me training to much, spending all my time studying and with my family but when I told him I had to leave this time he didn't say anything... he just let me go" she explained as tears started to well in her eyes "I'm sorry I shouldn't be bothering you with all this, you lost someone dear to you and now demons are after you... I'm sorry"

"I worry for my son; he is a half demon, fated to be an outcast..."

"That's not true; Inuyasha will grow up strong surrounded by those that care for him"

"How can you be so sure?"

"It's in his eyes; he is kind, strong and caring just like his mother"

"Sitting here and talking with Izayoi... Inuyasha is a lot like her, more than even he realises"

Kagome was woken that night with Ah-Un nudging at her; she pried her eyes open and noticed the fire was nearly out.

"What is it Ah-Un?" Kagome yawned

He kept nudging at her trying to get her to stand up; Kagome finally gave in and stood up with another yawn. Before Kagome had time to do anything Ah-Un was pushing her once more, Kagome got nudged into the forest leaving Izayoi and Inuyasha alone.

"Ah-Un where are you taking me, something could happen to Izayoi and Inuyasha!"

He didn't listen just kept pushing her until they were out of the forest then Ah-Un turned and walked away.

"Ah-Un where are you going? Why did you bring me here?" she shouted out to him

Kagome frowned as she was left alone in the cold, she couldn't even begin to imagine why she was brought here.

"I'll teach him to wake me up then leave me here"

Kagome was about to walk into the forest when she heard someone behind her, slowly she turned around getting ready to run just in case.

"Sesshomaru?" she asked staring at the person behind her

"What are you doing here?" he growled

"Right, not kid or nice...ish Sesshomaru, this is the mean 'I'm going to kill you' Sesshomaru" she said over and over in her head

"I was looking for you"

"What business do you have with this Sesshomaru?"

"I was sent by your father"

Sesshomaru huffed then went to walk away.

"You have a baby brother" she called out

Sesshomaru stopped; he didn't turn to face her so Kagome decided to walk up to him.

"His name is Inuyasha"

"I want nothing to do with that half breed" he growled

"Don't you even want to see him?"

"No"

"This is impossible"

"I'm not asking you to become best friends with him, that would be too weird, I'm just asking that you see him"

"I owe nothing to the half breed or to his human mother"

"What about me?"

"I wouldn't normally do this but if he is going to act like this then I have no choice"

He turned around to face Kagome with a raised brow.

"I saved you when you were a child or have you forgotten"

He started to frown, Kagome knew he remembered.

"You spend 5 minutes with him that's all I'm asking for"

"Very well"

"In the morning I will bring them here and you are not to harm any of them" she threatened

"I hope he doesn't try anything, there is no way I could kill him!"

Sesshomaru nodded then left, Kagome let out a huge sigh then turned and went back to bed, the next morning she was awoken by one of Inuyasha's wooden animals hitting her. She opened her eyes and saw the culprit sitting right in front of her with a huge grin; Kagome picked the toy from her head and sat up only to have the rest of his toys on her as well.

"Izayoi?" Kagome asked looking around

There was no answer, Kagome started to get a little worried but Inuyasha seemed ok so nothing to bad could have happened. Kagome stood up and stretched, it had been a long time since she last slept in the woods.

"Oh good morning Kagome" Izayoi said coming out from the woods

She was wearing the fire rat kimono on top of her own, she looked down at Inuyasha who was clawing at her clothes trying to climb up and noticed he was wearing a small version of the clothes he normally does.

"Inuyasha is full of energy" she laughed picking him up

"He always is" she laughed taking him from Kagome "where are we going today?"

"Well actually not far, there is someone I want you and Inuyasha to meet"

"Who is that?"

"His name is Sesshomaru, he's umm..."

"I wonder if she knows Taisho had another son?"

"He is Taisho's other son and a full demon, its ok I know dear"

"Right well he wants to meet you and Inuyasha"

"Really?"

"Yeah, he is going to meet us in a clearing not far from here, actually we should probably get going soon"

Izayoi nodded and tied Inuyasha to her back and carried the sack in her hands, Kagome put everything away into her bag then swang it onto her back along with her arrows then with her bow in hand they headed into the forest with Ah-Un leading the way.

"there is something you should know about Sesshomaru... he might seem a bit... well a bit cold and dangerous but I promise he won't harm either of you"

Izayoi nodded and continued to follow Kagome, it didn't take them to long to get there and when Kagome looked around she couldn't see Sesshomaru anywhere in sight. Kagome sat her bag down but kept her bow and arrows on her just in case, Izayoi bought out the cotton blanket and placed Inuyasha toys on it then sat him down so he could play. While Inuyasha and Izayoi were playing Kagome started to worry.

"He is either watching us somewhere or he isn't coming"

She walked over to Ah-Un who was eating some grass a little bit away from the others.

"Sesshomaru watching from a distance doesn't count" she said loud enough so he would hear but quiet enough so Izayoi wouldn't

Nothing changed; Kagome sighed and started to walk back over to the other two when she noticed the Izayoi and Inuyasha staring at her. Kagome turned around and jumped a little, Sesshomaru was standing right behind her.
