HI, thank you for the reviews all of you, i feel so appreaciated ^_^ on with the story

Kagome looked around, after landing on a skeletal bird she had found herself in a place that could only be described as a bone yard. Inuyasha, with Myouga landed down next to her, she glanced at them, and any more observasions were cut short at the blood on Inuyasha's face. She went up to him and held his face, looking closely at him. Responding to her worry he simply said gruffly.

"It will heal."

Kagome was annoyed and looked him in the eye. "You did this for me, so let me do this for you." She then gave into an urge she had been having since she saw the wound.

Inuyasha was startled by the sudden warmth on his cheek. Unable to see out of that eye he could only assume that it was her tounge, his protests were cut off when the pain began to dissapear he remained still and let her continue. Kagome for her part didn't know where this urge had come from, but it seemed to calm him so she continued slowly cleaning his face. Her tounge softly rasped as the flight continued to Inuyasha's father's grave. Kagome finished, kissing his damaged eye, and nuzzling him as the flight began to come to an end.

"Thank you, Kagome" was Inuyasha's only reply as he got off, opening his formerly damaged eye, revealing a brilliant restored amber. "It wouldn't have healed that fast normally."

Kagome was confused, she didn't know what she did. Myouga hopped onto her shoulder and happily proclaimed.

"That was a noble thing to do, you are a truely fine mate to my lord!"

Kagome was peeved, blushing she grabbed the flea. "We are not mates! I don't even know what I did!"

Myouga looked at her curiously then got an enlightened look on his face. "Ah! I understand now, you know nothing of youkai do you?"

"I told you I'm youkai by accident!"

"Rather irresponsible of my lord." Myouga murmered.

"What?" Kagome asked in a flat voice.

"Oh, what you just did," Myouga hastily replied. "tending another's wound is often the function of mates, or intimate partners in many youkai breeds. You gave him some of you power while you tended his, that is rarely done, and denotes complete trust. That you did it without knowing means that you are very close to being mates!"

"EEP!" Kagome dropped the flea.

"However, we should go after my lord for now!" in response to a yell from the inside of the grave. Kagome rushed into the giant skeleton, Myouga hopping onto her as she ran in.

They spotted Inuyasha fighting Sesshoumaru. Unfortunatly he wasn't doing to good of a job. It seemed the two were concentrating on each other, Inuyasha charging at Sesshoumaru, him dodging and attacking Inuayasha back. Inuyasha had a few scrapes, but had managed to dodge the greater brunt of the attacks.

"You worthless half-breed, you are no match for the great lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken cheered from the sidelines, and was promptly flattened by Kagome.

Kagome rather pisssed at the toad got off it, and kicked the thing into the wall, leaving a dent.

"YAY Inuyasha!" She began chearing instead.

Myouga, looked around and spotted a sword. "The legendary blade Tetsusaiga!"

"Tetsusaiga?" Kagome asked, wincing as Inuyasha was slashed again.

"A legendary weapon, capable of destroying 100 youkai in one swipe!"

"It's a piece of junk!" Inuyasha yelled, sending his blades of blood at Sesshoumaru, he dodged, but one of the blades managed to slice his sleeve. He looked at it and then at Inuyasha, he then attacked once again.

"Sigh, I'm going to have to get it for him." Kagome said, walking over to it and grabbing it.

The sword's aura began to crackle and travel up her hand. Kagome screamed as it began to burn, Inuyasha rushed over to her as her youkai features began to fade, she passed out. The sword stayed in her grasp as she slumped to the ground, coming out of the setting it was in. Inuyasha took it from her, and her youkai features began to slowly fade back. He took up her burned hands and began to nuzzle them, watching the burns fade away quickly. Sesshoumaru watched this, then disgusted ran toward them. Inuyasha brought the sword up in an instinctive protective motion, it began to pulse. As Sesshoumaru's hand began to glow green, the sword began to change, both coming together in a flash.

The blade transformed, and Sesshoumaru's arm was sliced cleanly off. He gripped his arm and staggered back, as Inuyasha looked at the blade in amazement.

"It seems, that you can use the blade, brother." Sesshoumaru grunted "I will return when I have healed, until then, keep on guard." He turned " The shadow that is after you wont stop, and I will be the one to kill you, not the spirit of a deceased youkai." He leapt out of the grave, ignoring Jaken and the glare of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha picked up the unconcious Kagome, and finding the sheath for the sword he left the grave as well. Holding Kagome tight as Myouga retrieved the rides for the two. The exited the grave as it dissapeared, returning to it's former place. Kagome woke soon after, and he left her in Kade's hut to recover.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So what happened? Why did the sword do that to me?"

"The sword was created to protect, things with only malice and greed are unable to grasp the sword, it repels those. Your blood may be half and half but they are seperate, that is why you are able to look human as you are now, at such a young age."

"So?"

"It attacked your youkai blood supressing it, it couldn't determain it to be friendly. And when Sesshoumaru attacked Inuyasha's desire to protect you acted to activate the sword."

"So why could I pull it out? Sesshoumaru wasn't able to, he tried before we got there. "

"The sword is made to protect, humans are those it was specificly made for, you were human at that time."

"Oh."

Kagome had been talking to Myouga about the sword, watching Inuyasha try to activate it. He had been trying for a while and had nearly fell off the tree trying to get it to work. Kagome was going to take pity and tell him how to use it when grumbling he closed his eyes and waiting for a second transformed the sword. Kagome watched as he happily twirled it around, an impossible smirk on his face.

"Inuyasha! Time to go home, they are probably worried sick about us!"

Inuyasha put away the sword and rushed to Kagome, ignoring her frightened eep. He then lifted her up bridal style and rushed away. Kagome growled at the arrogant smirk on his face.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome's voice faded into the distance.
