To InuYasha is NOT owned by me, however, Rumiko and all the other companies that have reserved rights to InuYasha DO!. I'm so jealous of them.
I really appreciated those of you who reviewed, and left such demands for me to write another chapter. I'm sorry that it took me so long, but time consumes a lot of what I have left of every day.
Without further Adieu, I present to you Chapter Five...

Inuyasha: Malicious Plans Forming in Minds of the Dead
Sesshoumaru had left her room in a mere blink of an eye. To a simple human it was faster then movement itself, but to him it was merely the will of slowing down time to move faster within it. It wasn't as if it was hard, at least for him. In his angry fit of rage he had done so with more speed then usual, and the result when he reached his champers was eminent fatigue. His vision was blurred slightly as he found his way to the side of his immaculate bed and sat down on the soft fur blankets that covered it.
"Why did I do that?" he asked himself, rubbing the cloudiness from his eyes.
He was tired, very tired to be exact. He had kissed her, and when she had jerked away from him it brought him back to where he was, and to whom his lips had come into contact with. Sesshoumaru reached a hand up and brushed his lips with the tips of his fingers. It wasn't as if the butterfly-like kiss was bad, but the thought of him kissing the human was making his head spin. Spinning from what he wasn't sure. His memories of what happened were muddled, and he could not bring to the surface just what had actually made him lean forward and place his lips over hers.
She obviously had not enjoyed it, or was too scared of the prospect of their kissing that she had stumbled backwards with a sure sign of immense fright written all over her face. When he had finally come to and realized what had happened, he was filled with an amount of anger he had not felt for a very long time. Not since the last war. He had come so close to changing into his true form, that he could still feel the lust for blood ebbing inside of his veins. He might very well have ripped her apart, and the thought that he could have done so brought a small amount of pain into his heart. Whatever it was he was feeling, it was beginning to annoy him.
He pulled off his kimono and rested his father's fur on the edge of the bed, and crawled under the covers for some needed sleep. He had a nagging feeling he was going to need it soon.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome had seen him leave, in a flash of white trailing towards her doorway. She blinked several times before the initial shock of it all had subsided. She reached up and touched her lips.
'He.. he kissed me.' She kept repeating in her head.
She didn't really want her first kiss to be something like this. It was slight and felt like butterflies had fluttered over her lips. It had tickled slightly, but for her first kiss to come from her enemy made tears fall from her eyes. She had secretly hoped that Inuyasha would be the first to kiss her. Although knowing he still cared for Kikyou, she might be old and gray before he ever laid his lips over hers.
Kagome moved from the floor and looked out the window again to the gardens below.
"Well, maybe I aught to start teaching Rin a thing or two to keep his lordship happy." She said, placing her hand upon the pane of glass and looking closer at the girl who was now playing dress up with the ugly demon toad. Kagome laughed and turned around to begin her day.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kikyou had left the half demon over an hour ago. He had been confused and seemed to be broken. She knew that he still cared deeply for her and knowing he was slowly growing attached to her counterpart, Kagome, she was filled with seething jealousy. Inuyasha was hers, and only hers. No one else deserved to hold his heart more then she did, and she intended to squeeze it to her advantage.
Kikyou walked deeper into the forest, knowing that Inuyasha could probably still smell her. Her words she had said to him hopefully echoing inside his head.
- "Why can you not choose me, Inuyasha?" , "Was I not your first love?" -
He had said nothing when she had spoken them, and it made her smile, while he held her against him. She knew that she still had a way to manipulate him. If only he would believe what she had told him earlier.
~ ~ ~ Flashback ~ ~ ~
"Are you sure she wants to be rescued?" Kikyou asked him.
Inuyasha looked shocked, and stepped back from her, putting space between them.
"Yes! I'm sure she wouldn't want to be with my murderer brother!" he said, slightly yelling it at her.
Kikyou smirked again, and sat down on a fallen log nearby. Her beauty was radiant in the moonlight and starlight shinning down upon her. Inuyasha sighed inwardly. Why couldn't he just choose which one to be with? He knew that being with Kikyou angered Kagome, and the thought of her again suddenly made him extremely angry. The thought of her wanting to stay with Sesshoumaru made him ever angrier.
"If you only knew..." she whispered, and his ears caught it.
Inuyasha rushed over to her and pulled her up off the log. His grasp was nothing close to gentle.
"Don't you DARE talk about Kagome like that. She is not that kind of person!" he stated, releasing Kikyou when he realized he was grasping her a little to hard.
Kikyou chuckled slightly and wrapped her arms about Inuyasha. He was stunned as usual, and wrapped his about her bent form.
~ ~ ~ End Flashback ~ ~ ~
Kikyou smiled at the memory. She had put thoughts into his head that he had never imagined before. His little Kagome falling for his older, pure demon, brother. She smirked and let out a slow laugh.
"He'll see her for who I want him to see her as, and then he'll be broken over what she had done and would come crying for me." She said, her eyes tainted with malice. "Then I'll welcome him back to me with open arms. He'll surely follow me to hell after that."
She smirked and turned around, and walked down the small path in the woods, the light flowing through the canopy foliage and spotting her with the beams of a full moon.
------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha returned to the camp later then he had anticipated. The moon hung extremely low in the sky, and the eastern horizon was beginning to take on a more bluer hue, then black. He had taken a detour after leaving Kikyou earlier, and went to the river that was running nearby the village. He had been healed, and the whole time he worried for nothing but Kagome's safety while with his deranged brother. Kikyou, however, had made him think about a few things. The thought of Kagome actually being with Sesshoumaru voluntarily was inconceivable in his eyes. The demon had not a bone of love or caring in his body for anything, especially humans.
How he could worry about this bothered him. Could Kikyou be right, and telling him the truth, or was she deceiving him more then she already had. It was hard for him to think further on the subject, as he neared the camp. He could hear the voices of Miroku and Sango chatting quietly to one another. He didn't look forward to answering to them, but he knew he had to get back or they would start to worry, and it annoyed him to no extent when they babied him after being hurt.
"Welcome back, Inuyasha." Miroku chimmed, as he stepped into view of the campfires light.
Sango looked over at him, and moved away from where she had been sitting. Slightly closer to Miroku for comfort. He glanced at her once, and then his eyes fell on the monk.
"Keh!" he intoned, and then plopped down near the fire on the opposite side of them.
"How are you faring my friend?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha groaned and layed back against the tree behind him. "I'm fine, monk" he replied, his tone full of sarcastic vigor.
"A little uppity today, Inuyasha, are we not?" he said, and added another stick onto the fire.
Morning was slowly coming, but it would be to far off for Inuyasha to welcome with open arms.
"Keh!" he said again, and turned away from them, hoping to get some last vestiges of sleep before the kitsune cub awoke and began calling out Kagome's name for being lonely. Inuyasha had to say that with Kagome gone, he had started to feel a little alone, more alone then he would ever let on.
