* A little short, but some questions get answered, and a little fluff at
the end*
Ch. 6: Moritsune's revelation, Kagome's decision, Sesshoumaru's battle
Sesshoumaru shook his head in disbelief. Of all the happenings in his long life, this had to have been the most embarrassing night of his life. He sighed and looked at his heir apparent.
"I didn't think it went that bad," Inuyasha said with a glare.
"Inuyasha, you shoved Lady Sakana down the stairs which nearly caused a riot, and threw up on Lord Buru! And let me tell you, as a Bull youkai, he isn't renowned for having a mild temper! If it wasn't for Jaken's negotiating, we'd be in the middle of a war-zone!
"They got in my way."
Sesshoumaru growled, but restrained himself. "I'm going to bed," he mumbled as he walked out the door.
Kagome giggled at the present situation, but Inuyasha just sat there, staring blankly.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Nothing," he answered.
"You're lying. I can tell."
"It's about you," he admitted. "If I become Lord, I'll have to sped most of my time here. I won't be able to take you to and from the well."
Kagome looked surprised at his sudden seriousness.
"You'll have to stay in your own time," he said.

Miroku and Sango stood outside in the cool night air. "I know you're out here, Moritsune! Or should I say, Bishamon?"
Moritsune appeared in front of them, crouched. He looked up, and stood. "So, you figured out who I am. I am curious to know how."
"Yeah how did you know?" Sango asked.
"It's the only logical explanation. How else would one man know techniques used by two clans that haven't spoken to one another in over 1000 years, and be powerful enough to take down Inuyasha?"
Moritsune grinned. "Yes, I am Bishamon, the God of War."
"So, why are you here?"
"Because," Bishamon said, "this world is in grave danger."

Kagome looked silently at Inuyasha for a moment. He was right; she needed to make a choice. Stay with Inuyasha, or leave, forever. She looked at her Shikon fragments. It was almost complete; all that was left was the fragments held by Naraku. Shre clutched them in her hand.
"Inuyasha.....I..."

"As the God of War, I am sworn to protect the Earth. Recently, one of my fellow Gods took a youkai form and decended to Earth. It is he that I am concerned with."
"Which God?" Sango asked.
"His name is Amatsu Mikaboshi. He is the God of Evil," Bishamon answered.
"Well then," Miroku said, "I can see why you are concerned. But why not tell Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha?"
"You know how prideful they are. If Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru were to learn who I was and why I was here, I suspect they'd rush headfirst into a confrontation with Amatsu."
"That could have disasterous results," Miroku admitted.
"That's unfortunately true," Sango said with a sigh.

Sesshoumaru looked over a pristine lake. He was unable to sleep, so he came out here to calm himself. Somehow, this lake, this simple body of water, always managed to settle his mind. But tonight, a disturbance hung in the air. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
"I was curious as to why you didn't show at the banquet. Then Lord Buru informed me of your plot to usurp me," He said.
Matsuo stepped from the shadows, as Sesshoumaru drew Toukijin. Matsuo readied his dual kusari-gama. "What do you plan to do? Cough on me?" he mocked.
Sesshoumaru glared at Matsuo.

"I'll take you home tomorrow." Inuyasha said with a hint of sadness.
"No." Kagome interrupted. "I want to stay here! I want...to stay with you." She hurled herself into Inuyasha's arms and cried. "I...I love you."
Inuyasha looked stunned. He looked down at Kagome, sobbing in his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, and held her tight. "I love you too, Kagome."
