Inuyasha forced himself to step forward, ignoring the pain in his head.
*Kikyou...they killed my Kikyou!* His brain scream, as images flashed behind his eyes.
"Stop!" He screamed dropping his sword and grabbing his head. Images of the past weeks continued to assault his mind. He fell to his knees as the faces of the people he killed flashed before him.
"No! I didn't do this." He denied pulling at his hair.
Samara tried to move toward Inuyasha, but Rhys held her back.
"Something is not right." He said watching Inuyasha closely. "He is fighting a compulsion, and a extremely strong one by the looks of it. If we touch him, the compulsion may jump to one of us." He informed her.
Sesshomaru set Kagome on her feet as they arrived at the clearing and took in the scene. His eyes skimming over what was left of Kikyou.
"What has happened?" He asked.
"We followed the priestess's trail and came upon them here. The woman initiated the attack and Samara killed her. I am not sure, but its seems that your brother has be placed under an enchantment." Rhys said filling them in.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called, but didn't leave Sesshomaru's side.
Inuyasha looked up backing toward the trees as his eyes met those of his long time companion's " What have I done!" He whispered and turned to run into the forest.
"If he was under a compulsion, none of his actions these past weeks were his decision. It would be best for us to leave him be for now. If you push too hard the spell may reclaim his free will." Samara warned.
Sesshomaru placed a hand at the small of Kagome's back.
"We will return to the village, after you are settled I will go in search of Inuyasha." He offered. Kagome nodded and allowed herself to be pulled into Sesshomaru's arms.
-At the village-
Kagome paced across the hut, her thoughts racing.
"Kagome worrying will do no good. Come sit down and have some tea." Samara order and held up a mug.
"You're right I know, I just can't help it." She said, joining Sam by the fire.
"It will all work out for the best, and look on the bright side, Inuyasha isn't really your enemy. Once he comes to terms with recent events, I'm sure you will be able to renew your friendship with him."
"I hope so." Kagome said sitting down as well, her hands circling her belly.
"It would be nice for the baby to know its uncle." She said wistfully. Sam laughed.
"Oh my! Do you think that thought has crossed Sesshomaru mind? Inuyasha will be your child uncle! think of all the things your son will learn from him!" Sam said doubling over with laughter.
Kagome froze imaging her baby with Sesshomaru's face and Inuyasha's manners.
"Oh God!" She said and laughed. " Well have to limit his exposure to Inuyasha!"
Rhys walked into the hut, returning from patrol and frowned. "The idea of another Inuyasha roaming the earth is not cause for laughter" He said in mock distress.
-In the forest-
"Inuyasha when you regain control of yourself return to the village. My mate wishes to speak to you. I will not waste my time chasing you across these lands." Sesshomaru growled and turn away.
"She must hate me." Inuyasha's voice whispered threw the trees.
"No. After all the years you have spent with her, you know she has a forgiving nature." Sesshomaru said and walked away, returning to the village.
Inuyasha watched him go.
Sesshomaru walked into the hut, immediately looking for Kagome.
"How is he?" She asked. Sesshomaru shook his head.
"He will be fine when he overcomes his guilt." He replied taking a mug of tea from Samara.
"Good. The baby will need his uncle Yasha." Kagome said a huge grin on her face. Sesshomaru's hand froze, mug suspended before his lips.
His left eye began to twitch and a drop of tea spilled into his lap.
"What"
