Sorry I took long to update. Been busy.

Here's the next chapter!!









Kagome ran and ran until she could run no longer.

She looked around, but discovered that she was lost.

"Oh no. I. I don't know where I am now." She kept walking, looking around.

"Lost?" cam a male voice from behind.

Kagome turned around, startled. "W-who's there?" she asked with fear she knew the answer.

A figure walked out of the shadows from the trees towards her.

"Sesshoumaru?"

Kagome took a few steps back. "W-what are you doing here?"

Sesshoumaru kept walking towards her. He stopped just a few feet in front of Kagome.

'What do I do?' Kagome asked herself.

Sesshoumaru smiled wickedly at her. "You seem lost," ha said in a low, husky yet smooth voice.

Kagome did nothing but stare at him.

~~{~@ ~~{~@ ~~{~@ ~~{~@

"Great! Now where did that stupid girl go?"

Inu-Yasha was searching for Kagome. 'That stupid girl! Where is she?' He was growing inpatient. He jumped from tree to tree, looking for the human girl.

~~{~@ ~~{~@ ~~{~@ ~~{~@

Inu-Yasha stopped. He sniffed the air. "Sesshoumaru! I'm sure he's the one's that has Kagome! When I get my hands on him.'

He followed his brother's scent.

~~{~@ ~~{~@ ~~{~@ ~~{~@

Inu-Yasha was now more lost. He looked around. "Damn! His scent is scattered! I can't follow him now!"

"Looking for me?" came a male voice.

Inu-Yasha recognized it immediately. "Come out, you coward!"

Sesshoumaru came out from a tree he was on.

"You creep!" Inu-Yasha took out Tetsusaiga. "Where's Kagome!? What have you done with her?!"

Sesshoumaru grinned. "If you want your woman, give me Tetsusaiga."

"I would NEVER give Tetsusaiga to YOU!!!!"

Sesshoumaru got angry. "Then, I presume the girl means nothing to you."

Inu-Yasha didn't respond.

"In that case," Sesshoumaru continued. "She will die."

Inu-Yasha's eyes narrowed more. "Don't you dare lay a finger on her!"

Sesshoumaru grinned once again. "Then you DO care for her."

"Kagome is my friend! I would NEVER let anything happen to her!" Inu-Yasha yelled at his brother.

"Those are some bold words." Sesshoumaru paused. "But, what will you do about it? A half breed is not string enough to defeat a powerful demon like me," Sesshoumaru said with a grin on his face.

"You think just because I'm a half-breed I'm not powerful? We'll see about that!" he said as he jumped to attack his half-brother.

"Hyaaahhhhh!" Inu-Yasha landed where his brother was, but he had missed. "Wha-" Inu-Yasha got hit in his face. He fell hard on the ground.

"Is that the best you can do?" Sesshoumaru asked him as he approached.

Inu-Yasha got up and wiped his face from the blood. "Kisama!" He grabbed the sword again and attacked. He missed once more. He quickly turned around to find the youkai standing a few feet away.

Sesshoumaru just stood there. Doing nothing. He waited until his half- youkai brother decided to attack him again. He didn't have to wait long. Inu-Yasha launched himself towards the youkai, landing a punch on Sesshoumaru's face.

"Heh heh." Inu-Yasha thought he had gotten him. Then, Sesshoumaru turned his face to look at him. "If that's as hard as you hit, you won't ever win." he said before punching Inu-Yasha in his stomach.

The half-breed fell in pain to the ground.

Sesshoumaru stepped back. "Get up!"

Inu-Yasha slowly got back up on his knees. He got Tetsusaiga again, using it to help him stay up. Once the dizziness went away, he was ready to continue the fight.

He looked at the youkai, who had a grin on hid face.

"Kisama!" Inu-Yasha ran to his brother, and tried to hit him with the sword. He missed every time. He stopped to catch his breathe. Sesshoumaru was standing beside him.

"You are so weak, Inu-Yasha. You're worthle-" Blood gushed from Sesshoumaru's mouth.

Inu-Yasha had stabbed him on his side. The half-breed pulled the sword out. This time it was his turn to grin.

Sesshoumaru fell to his knees. He put his hand on his wound, trying to make it stop bleeding, but it was in vain. His hand was getting all bloody. 'How could I have been wounded?' It was foolish of me to let my guard down.' He coughed up blood.

"And you thought I couldn't beat you." Inu-Yasha said to his brother. "Looks like you're not as powerful as you thought you were."

Sesshoumaru looked at Inu-Yasha.

The half-youkai just frowned. He pointed the sword towards the wounded youkai. "This is the end for you." He attacked.
