Me again. I must be really bugging you people with these author's notes. -_-
My apologies. I continue to thank you people for all the support and I
hope to get a bunch of more chapters from this fanfic. (^_^) That should
please you people who keep and trying to make me write more. Just be
thankful it's summer and I can satisfy you peeps. -_- Different
perspectives will be shown with a couple of these symbols: ~ *
Still, I've realized I haven't put in nearly any useful information here.
I'll change that. Criticisms and comments are welcome, just leave a
review! The ~* symbols not only mean a change in perspective, but a new
day. ^^

Three sharp knocks marked Sesshoumaru's arrival the next morning as
Kagome walked quickly across the house to answer the door. He smiled as
he greeted her with another kiss, causing Kagome to giggle. He inhaled
deeply as she embraced him, smiling as he said, "I love your scent."
Kagome froze as she remembered all the times that Inu Yasha had said
that, and the time when he grudgingly admitted that he liked it.
Sesshoumaru silently cursed himself when that happened and rubbed his
hands furiously up and down her back as if to thaw her. Tears glistened
in her eyes, but she looked at Sesshoumaru, smiled, and hugged him
tighter.
"Six days," Sesshoumaru said suddenly, confusing Kagome before she
blinked and remembered the duel. Her thoughts strayed back to Inu Yasha
and her friends as she thought of what to do. Even if Sesshoumaru won the
fight, what would happen to the past's Sesshoumaru? He wanted her to stay
in Feudal Japan but she did not know if she could willingly stay behind
there, cutting off all family ties.
Sesshoumaru, as if reading her thoughts, said, "My past self will fall in
love with you, but it might be unexpected. Stay in Feudal Japan with
him." It sounded more like a command than a request. Kagome forced a
smile on her face as she thought of the demon Sesshoumaru in the past,
and literally shuddered at being stuck with him for hundreds of years.
This Sesshoumaru might be tame enough, but his past self was still all-
demon.
Sesshoumaru had not read her thoughts that time, but felt the shudder and
hugged her harder. It would be painful, giving her up again if he won,
but the thought of all the years he could have spent with Kagome at his
side spurred him onwards.
~ * ~ *~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Inu Yasha awoke, squinting as the bright light of morning filtered
through the leaves above him. He groaned as he rubbed his eyes and
stretched his sore back, cursing himself for falling asleep in that
uncomfortable position. He shielded his eyes as he assessed the sun's
position, letting him know the time was a little past noon.
Growling, he slipped out of the tree, landing catlike below. He felt
restless as he unsheathed his blade, prowling around for a demon or two
to defeat. A little voice in his mind asked what he was going to do after
that, causing him to freeze. The demons would be easy pickings if they
didn't have a Shikon shard and if they did, how would he retrieve the
shard after they came back together? He growled in frustration and hack
off an innocent branch that was hanging in front of his face. Inu Yasha
sighed as he leaned against the tree again, thinking about the Shikon
Shard.
The only reason he had teamed up with Kagome was because of the Shikon
shard. The only reason to collect the Shikon shard was so that he could
use it to become a full demon, like his brother. Sango, Miroku, and
Shippo all joined them for various reasons, and he had allowed them to
stay because they were useful.
He clenched his fist as he gripped his blade tightly with both hands,
making a vow right there: As soon as the Shikon Shard was finished, he
would kill Kagome. It would be a fitting revenge for Sesshoumaru and he
could not forgive Kagome after this. The others could do as they pleased,
so long as they didn't try and stop him.
It would not be the same even if he won; Sesshoumaru had made sure of
that. He would not let himself be fooled by another woman ever again.

Sesshoumaru was lying on the couch, with Kagome lying next to him. His
arms were wrapped around her neck and her hands gripped his. Kagome was
peacefully sleeping, and she looked innocent in her slumber. Sesshoumaru
sighed, trying not to move so as to not disturb his love. He started
playing with a lock of her hair absently as she snuggled closer to his
chest. He smiled feeling no need to move from this position. He had
waited hundreds of years to be re-united with Kagome, and he was content
with simply holding her right now. Sesshoumaru was not fully sure that
his nature would be happy with that, which was the main reason he was
holding the duels.
He did at least acknowledge Inu Yasha's feelings, so this duel would be
the chance for him to justify what he might do. His demon blood was
stirring with the need to carry Kagome somewhere and make her his mate,
but he was trying to currently suppress it. However, it grew more and
more difficult every kiss to break it off at that. Sesshoumaru sighed as
he looked at her, and closed his eyes, allowing his head to hit the
armrest as he leaned back. She was obviously a virgin, and even though
she returned his affections, she did not seem ready for that. The shock
which she had accepted his kiss with already informed him that she had
not been kissed.
Kagome had stirred as Sesshoumaru hit his head against the armrest, and
she turned over, a small smile spreading across her sleepy face as she
toyed with a lock of his white hair between her fingers. He smiled back
at her as his demon blood raged inside, especially when she stroked the
tips of his ears. He inwardly groaned when she sat up and went to get a
drink of water.
He could not bear it when she was near and he could not bear it when she
was away. Sesshoumaru was in a dilemma.
~ * ~ *~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Inu Yasha growled as he slashed the head off a wolf demon, watching the
blood spurt before turning to the next one. He should have known better
than to stumble onto their territory, and he was currently facing their
whole pack. His blade would not transform and he had thrown it to one
side, fighting with only his claws.
He slashed through the last one in mid-air before he landed, panting. The
blood has splattered over his hands but he had not sustained any wounds.
In hindsight, he could have run from the demons but he was frustrated and
they were there. Inu Yasha sprawled out on the grass as his breathing
slowed, oblivious to the blood shed around him.
Inu Yasha sat up and started lapping the blood from his fingers, freezing
when he realized that this was a habit of Sesshoumaru's and jerking his
fingers away from his mouth. He growled in frustration and leapt to his
feet, cracking his knuckles. He still had anger his needed to vent and he
prowled the forest openly, slashing at anything that got in his way.
A commanding voice interrupted him and he froze, recognizing it. Kikyo
stood casually by a tree, her eyes emotionless as she remarked, "Inu
Yasha. something wrong?" Inu Yasha flexed his claws as he suppressed the
urge to yell at Kikyo, the woman he had once wanted to live forever with.
Kikyo stepped forward, her baggy clothes brushing against each other as
she touched his face and asked, "When will you join me in the afterlife?"
Inu Yasha glared back as he said, "Sooner than you might think."

There we go, two days! Yay! FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DUEL ^^ I know this was
late, but I was on emotional overdrive at the moment and this annoying
"friend" of mine keeps on e-mailing me. -_-; I plan to update on Mondays,
Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The extra update will be co-incidental
unless I have too much free time. I'm also planning on writing a sequel
to this fanfic, telling what happens AFTER the duel. ^_^ It's all working
itself out in my head, I just need to figure out what they are going to
do for five more days. *groans at though* Anyways, review, review,
review!
