feleena: I didn't know it was so hard to name a chapter, it's harder than writting the chapter how does the real writters do it?

It had been twenty-four hours since Inuyasha had left the group. Kagome she was concern for him, but Sango, Mirkou, and Shippou knew that he was old enough to take care of himself. They were all sitting by the campfire; Sango approached her taking a sit beside her.

"Kagome, please don't worry about Inuyasha,"

"I can't I really had no intention to hurt him, it's my fault. I wish I had never said anything, I should of walked away and left you guys alone," Kagome head slump into her hands sango toke her hand it was nice support of Sango.

"You shouldn't say that. If you had walked away from us, you're secret would of destroyed you,"

"Sango, I already feel like that, I don't know what to do anymore," Sango wrapped her arms her shoulders as kagome leaned against her.

"Don't worry Kagome, we all know that Inuyasha will come back he has to, he doesn't have anything to go to,"

"Deep in my heart I'm hoping that he will not see me different,"

"I know. I hope to."

"My lord," bowing down low before he walked into his study room. Sesshoumaru was standing next to bookshelves when Xaivier walked in he watched Sesshoumaru glide across the floor to lean against his desk.

"Xaivier, you are the closest acquaintance to me and will give you a warning. Hisuie is mine!"

"Lord Sesshoumaru, you see she claims that she does not belong to you or anyone else and for that I will not back down this time. I watched you go throw women as if they were clothing however, Hisuie she isn't going to be tainted by you," a sly smile came across Sesshoumaru face, Xaivier wanted to go wipe that smirk off his face, but he would not instead he would make Hisuie his.

"Those are dangerous words for you to say in your rank, I would be careful,"

"That may be, but I will have her,"

"I believe not, next time you see her you will find my mark on her,"

"You what?"

"Are you astounded that I marked her, I thought you would know. You should of smelt it by know."

"Of course I was waiting for you to mark her, but I didn't think you would mark her so early, I was inspecting you to mark her to piss of the council."

"Yes, I have thought of that, but I also thought that you would jump at the chance of marking her as your own."

"I'd would of mark her today if you didn't intervene, did you do the enigma mark," Sesshoumaru didn't have to say anything, he could tell with a flicker of his eye movement,

"If you did that mark, you have forgotten that she can court with more than one,"

"I have not forgotten, but will defy me?" he had heard enough from him, he wanted to see her, to see if he had truly marked her. With a movement of his arm, he excused Xaivier. Dam him to hell if he did, maybe he could use this information against him.

He had watched them talk for a long time. It seem since Inuyasha had run away he cause Kagome to worry about him. Stupid mutt he whispered silently, Jakotsu he had come up to sit beside him giving him a nudge.

"What,"

"You're a man and she a woman, I don't know if you notice that, but sometimes in need one another could comfort each other,"

"Thank you genius, but if you haven't notice she being comfort by her friend," they were both watching her when she walked away from the group.

"Well there your chance," Shoving him up, Bankotsu followed her into the forest. He could see the girl Sango giving him a warning glare as so did the others who sat around her.

"Where is Bankotsu going?"

"He following his instinct of a man,"

"What? How would you know the instinct of a man is? You are gay; you would not know the instinct of a man more like a woman,"

"Shut the hell up Renkotsu, on one wants to hear you blabbering on. Just because you can't get action doesn't mean you can pick on Jakotsu," both of them watch him as he tried to scramble for words, however nothing came out.

"Oh, fuck you guys I don't need your shit," Renkotsu stomp off, leaving them the time to catch some sleep before they move on again.

"Hey Bankotsu,"

"Hey back. You always like to take walks in the middle of the night?" he could see her grinning at him; at least he broke the ice instead of it being awkward. She sighed deeply.

"Bankotsu, I don't know what to do, what if Inuyasha doesn't come back. I don't think I could go on without him,"

"When I was young, I was really didn't care what my elders said to me I would spit at their feet and cuss a storm at them, as I was growing in my teen years a middle age man approached me and knocked the wind from under my feet. He said that elders had hired him to give me a good punishment; however, he said he saw something in me and he took me as his apprentice. I study for years under his wing he said something to me one day that I could never forget. On one occasion in someone life, will meet a person who can exceed them and if that person acknowledge that someone in their life they will care for them, protect, and love for them. Kagome you are that person in so many different ways, but you have to understand what you feel for Inuyasha is a love and he has to understand that you are that special person that has taken care of him. He doesn't realize it yet, but he will,"

he wiped the tears from her cheek, wrapping his arm around her and he brought her closer into him as he could feel her body shutter beneath his body.

"What if I'm that person, what does that make you to me?"He could feel her hands gripping on the back of his shirt tighter, bring her closer to him he smelt the soft scent in her hair.

"I hoping that you could open to me as I could do the same to you,"

She pulled away from his chest as she started into his eyes he could see the sad emotion pools of her eyes. He felt her arms tighten on his shirt and with another look, he could see her wanting what he wanted and he bowed his head and closed his eyes. After all his long imagining felt the touch of her lips, it felt like forever before she pulled away he could feel her arms remove from his back. Cupping his face, she kissed his forehead and lightly traced the top of his cheek and kissed the lids of his closed eyes. She rested her cheek against his and then he open is his eyes and kissed her in the same way. He could taste the salt of her tears on her cheek and in the corner of her lips and when their lips meet again and she felt her body shiver and she pulled away again resting against his chest, she felt her love being returned.

It was late when he walked back into camp; he was not expecting anyone to greet him for him running off at a time when Kagome needed him. He could see that everyone was asleep. Ransho was the only one to awake, he lightly moved Sango off him on the ground and he removed his top coat placing on her. Ransho walked toward him leading the way out toward the outer camp.

"I'm not the one to judge you, but from what I've seen since you were my sister has poured her heart out for you,"

"I… have been a jerk to her… What … your sister?"

"Yes. Kagome is my half sister I found out after you left. We had a long talk it seem her father left her and came here and married my mother,"

"Where is she now?"

"She is with the leader of the other group," Ransho could feel Inuyasha aura becoming stronger; he moved his hand on his sword just in case.

"And you let her go,"

"It seem better to let her go than to cry over you,"

"Who the hell are you to decide what's better for her?"

"Look Inuyasha. I am Kagome brother now and I will take the responsibility of her and I give you this as a warning you will no longer cause her pain, if you do I will take your life,"

"What makes you think,"

"I don't have to think, I know. I have heard what you done when you were with Kagome you left at night to sleep with a woman who was dead. Now tell me what you would do if you were me?"

It was not a simple to question to answer he knew what he had done and yes it was wrong to love the living and the dead. Nevertheless, what was worse was to love the dead more than the living. Ransho watch Inuyasha bow his head in shame. There sensitive ears could hear someone coming into camp looking at the edge of the forest Bankotsu walked in with Kagome sleeping his arms, he saw them but made no gesture to them. He walked over to his team and sat down grabbing a blanket he wrapped it around them both.

"Inuyasha, you better be here in the morning, you and Kagome need to talk."

He watched the demon walk back toward Sango, picking her back in his arms. Inuyasha he jumped into a tree sitting on a branch he looked at Kagome and felt something that he haven't felt since he was a boy the feeling of being alone and he knew he was the cause of this. A tear broke down his face and he broke his mother promise that he would never cry again.
