The One and Only

A/N: you all should feel lucky! I'm actually doing work! Here's chapter 4, and thanks for all the great reviews!

MysticalAngel: if you've seen episode five and six, then it should explain why Inuyasha got the sword and how he found out about it. Sesshomaru was looking for the sword, and went to Inuyasha to see if he knew where it was. After Sesshomaru pulled out the pearl (It was in Inuyasha's eye!) and opened up their father's grave, Inuyasha went after Sesshomaru to get him for what he did. There, he learns about tetsusaiga, and afterwards, keeps the tetsusaiga. (But not before taking off Sesshie's arm -_-)

Chapter 4: Attempted Escape

Kagome ran as fast as she could. Adrenaline pumped through her veins as her feet carried her onwards. Tiny scratches appeared on her legs as the weeds hit her legs.

She could feel his presence. He was coming closer. She needed to run faster. She picked up her pace considerably, finally reaching the edge of the forest.

Then, she fell. Of all the things to happen to her, she tripped over a root. Now he would surely catch up, and he would most likely do something to her that she would not like.

Kagome lifter herself off of the cold, damp ground and began to run again. Pain seared in her knees from her fall. She had a killer headache, and her sides were beginning to hurt. She did not need this. She was trying to escape, for Christ sake!

He was close. Terribly close. And that made her run like she'd never run before. But, she was too slow.

After getting the news from Jaken, Sesshomaru was overwhelmed with fury. Did she actually think that she could escape from him? If so, she was terribly mistaken.

He left his room and began to search for her. He began by looking all through the house, seeing if maybe she were lost. But her smell landed nowhere, leaving him very upset.

He went outside, and deeply inhaled. Yes, her scent loomed in the breeze, and she wasn't that far away. Sesshomaru took to the sky, being guided by his acute sense of smell.

He was gaining on her, and he could smell her fear. She must know he was close. Her pace quickened dramatically, and she reached the woods. His heightened sense of hearing told him she tripped and stumbled on the roots of the forest, giving him an extra boost to catching her.

Then, she got back up. This human would not give up!

Sesshomaru took to the ground, using his speed to his advantage. He could sense her tiring, and practically smirked at the fact that humans could become over exerted.

He could see her only a few miles ahead of him. Because of his speed, he made it there in a few minutes. Rendering her unconscious, he lifted her up and took her back to his domain.

An intense pain in the back of her head woke her up from her unconscious state. She was back in Sesshomaru's home. He must have caught her.

Kagome mentally cursed herself. She shouldn't have tried to escape in the first place. Now, she was going to get it.

A light knock came from her door.

"Who is it?" she fearfully called out, dreading it to be Sesshomaru. The doors slightly opened, and a tiny fox demon came in.

"Lord Sesshomaru wanted me to tend to the wound on the back of your head." She had a high-pitched voice, and it kinda hurt her ears.

"It's fine, really. It doesn't even hurt." Kagome lied through her teeth.

"Well, let me see." the demon pressed on the large lump, causing a startling yelp of pain to escape Kagome's mouth.

"Doesn't hurt, eh? Here, take some of this." The kitsune handed her a glass, filled with an awful smelling liquid. Reluctantly, Kagome swallowed the liquid. She felt it burn the walls of her esophagus all the way to the pit of her stomach. Kagome stuck her tongue out in distaste.

"Serves you right for running away." Sesshomaru's voice came from within the room. Kagome's stomach lurched. This was it. She was going to die.

Fear radiated from the girl as Sesshomaru watched her intently. Why was she scared? Then, he detected salt as well. Why was she crying?

Human's emotions were too confusing. He needed to get away from her. But he had o tell her something. Something life saving.

"When you stop crying, I will tell you what I came to tell." This just brought on more tears, leaving Sesshomaru in utter confusion.

"Why do you keep crying?"

"You mean.you aren't going to kill me?" it was barely audible, but with his demon hearing, he could easily detect it.

"No." her tears dried up. "Now that you have stopped crying, I can say what I have to say. It will not be wise to escape again. I was easy on you this time, but I can guarantee I won't the next. Keep that in mind when you stare at your window."

"Ho-how did you know I escaped through there?" He gave her a rare smile, and left her alone.

There's chapter 4 for ya! Thanks for all the great reviews! You all are a great inspiration. Keep reviewing!

Time for my post thingy:

1. Silver Lady: I'm glad you like my story. Have you ever read the manga? In there, Jaken does call Sesshomaru me lord. I guess that's where I picked it up. Oh, and about that hanyou/demon thing. Hanyou was just easier to write than half demon, and demon is easier to write youkai. Didn't really take into consideration the whole matching thing.

2. Katie: I'm working on it!

3. Nikki: I don't know why it's doing that. At first, it did that on my computer too. Who knows.? But I'm glad you like it anyway.

A/N: I'm liking the reviews I'm getting! Send more! Chapter 5 should be coming soon!

See ya! TWEAKERS
