Inuyasha Fanfic To Lose the One I Love
By: Chiruken
Chapter 5
"I don't think so." A hand reached out and grabbed her hair, pulling her off balance with painful force as a hand covered her mouth cutting off her desperate cry for help. "Very careless of Inuyasha to allow you to run around unprotected. Wouldn't you agree?" She could only stare up into the cold features gazing down at her with cruel amusement as she struggled futilely against a superior strength.
No! Not now! Inuyasha! She desperately tried to bite the hand covering her mouth, preventing her from calling out to her friends for help. Doubling her efforts to free herself, she kicked wildly at the larger man's legs, squirming within his grasp.
"Stop that." His voice was as calm as ever though a faint flicker of annoyance flashed through his narrowed eyes. Lifting her smaller form he turned on his heel and strode back the way they'd come. "I have something to say to you." His cryptic words stilled Kagome's frantic attempts at freeing herself and she looked up at him suspiciously. "Much better. I am going to remove my hand and you are going to remain silent. Understood?" He glared down into her frightened eyes. "Well?" She nodded, unable to reply any other way. "Good girl." He dropped her to the ground unceremoniously. Glaring up at her abductor, Kagome wiped her mouth as if to rid herself of the memory of contact with his flesh. "Time is short so I will get right to it." He crouched down and peered into her narrowed eyes intently. "The Shikon no Tama is nearly complete, correct?" He waited until she reluctantly nodded. He looked away, expression thoughtful. "It is as I thought." He murmured softly. An instant later his gaze snapped back to hers pinning her to the spot. "You will not give the complete Shikon no Tama to Inuyasha." His tone suggested he expected her to obey without question.
"Oh really…" She tossed her head in annoyance, her fear momentarily forgotten. "And I suppose you are the one who should receive it then?"
He snorted derisively. "Not likely. I want it destroyed. It cannot fall into Inuyasha's hands. It would alter him beyond recognition, destroying all that he has fought for."
"Sesshoumaru…" Kagome tried to ignore her intense dislike for the hanyou's half-brother and slowly shook her head. Drawing in a deep breath she met his gaze directly. "But…I thought you hated Inuyasha."
The youkai lord shrugged. "Perhaps." He looked over her head, lips tilting upwards into a small half smile. "He comes. I shall take my leave. Remember what I said. I want the Shikon no Tama destroyed. I will not allow it to fall into the wrong hands."
Kagome blinked and he was gone. What a strange guy…I thought he hated Inuyasha. But if he did, why would he be so concerned now? And why is he suddenly so interested in the Shikon no Tama? Growling softly she stood, brushing the grass from her clothes. "I can't understand that guy."
"Kagome!" Inuyasha landed beside her, hand resting on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga as he tilted his head, sniffing at the air. "Sesshoumaru was here! Which way did he go?" He turned to her expectantly.
"Inuyasha…wait." She laid a hand on his arm gently. "I don't think you should go after him."
"What? Why not?" His eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What's goin' on?"
She sighed and tugged on his sleeve, urging him to follow her. "He only wanted to talk, nothing more." She smiled at his sour expression. "Really, Inuyasha…if he wanted to try something, he would've done so a long time ago."
"Talk? What'd he wanna talk about?"
She paused and sighed. "The Shikon no Tama."
"What?!" Inuyasha halted and stared at her in disbelief for a moment before turning back towards the clearing. "That bastard…now he wants the Shikon no Tama on top of Tetsusaiga!"
"Wait! It isn't like that!" When he ignored her she scowled and planted her fists on her hands. "Inuyasha…" She watched as he stiffened at the tone of voice she was using. He glanced over his shoulder, golden eyes silently pleading as his ears flattened against his head in anticipation of perceived pain. "Sit." She turned away, ignoring the unflattering grumbling issuing from his direction. "When you're ready to listen, I'll be at camp making breakfast." With that she strode away.

Author's Notes:
I wanted Sesshoumaru to be in here somehow…but I didn't want him to be completely evil either…so I settled for mysterious with his own agenda. However, after I saw Episode 52 (think that was the one…) (fansub, of course) I realized that maybe there was more to Inuyasha's big brother than met the eye. After all, he could've finished things easily, yet he didn't. He even helped…
I won't say more just in case I spoil it for others.
So, just as a warning, Sesshoumaru may be a tad OOC…I haven't had a chance to get a handle on him yet. He doesn't make a lot of appearances, that he does not.
As always, thanks for reading…and reviewing.
And see? I really tried to make this chappie longer, that I did! Though I've kinda resigned myself to shorter chapters. It just seems to be my style, that it does.
Until next time, take care!
