Ch. 4 - Strange Happenings
Anger was beginning to build inside Inuyasha as he made his way towards his brother. That bastard had a lot of explaining to do.
"What the hell are you doing here? You're not going to touch Kagome again."
"Attached to the little wench aren't we. Pathetic. Always tying to save a measly human." He could feel a knot build up inside of his stomach, the thought of calling here a pathetic wench did not sit well. What was this stupid human doing to him? He the great Sesshoumaru did not feel guilt towards anything especially a human.
"If she's so pathetic then how come you save her every time you kill her?"
Kagome didn't particularly care for being called pathetic. She could hold her own in a fight, she didn't always need saving. If she was so pathetic how is it that she can sense the jewel shards that so many 'things' wanted to get their hands on. 'Humph, just wait until they see what my powers can really do. Uh okay, where did that statement come from? Powers? Yea Kagome you really need to get a hold of yourself.'
Suddenly she realized that both boys had stopped their fighting and were looking directly at her. 'Oh my gosh, did I have that conversation out loud?' A chill ran down her spine as she saw a smirk make its way across Sesshoumaru's lips. Inuyasha's eyes were wide in amazement. Besides the topic of her so called little chat with herself she had been emitting enormous amounts of energy. An intense pink light was crackling around her.
"She is quite the little firecracker isn't she?" Sesshoumaru gazed at her with curiosity, how was it that she could produce so much energy? Maybe this girl wasn't human.
"Shut up no one asked for your opinion. Umm Kagome? Are you feeling alright?"
"Inuyasha, I don't feel so well." And with that Kagome fell to the ground. Both of the boys ran up to her. Inuyasha gave his brother a death glare, which caused Sesshoumaru to realize that he too had run up to her side.
"She fainted. Pathetic human doesn't even know how to control her own miko powers."
Inuyasha carefully propped Kagome against a tree and turned to his brother. "Alright, tell me, why did you attack her so many times?"
"I'm not really sure. At first it was because I wanted the Tetsusaiga and I was going to use her for bait. But that stupid wench of yours wouldn't call for you."
Inuyasha became furious, both with himself and with Sesshoumaru. How could he let Kagome be in so much danger? That stupid girl she was so stubborn that she wouldn't even call for him. Sesshoumaru watched the range of emotions flicker across his brother's face and decided to continue with his explanation. "After her last silent breath had left her I decided to bring her back to life with Tenseiga and try again another time. But each time it was the same she wouldn't let her pride down. This just infuriated me more I couldn't believe how defiant she could be. Eventually I began to just try to break her forgetting about Tetsusaiga."
Inuyasha just stood there dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that the great Sesshoumaru was standing before him pouring his heart out. "Yea she can be quite stubborn, and apparently quite powerful too."
"This energy of hers it is a recent development I take it."
"Yea it just started."
Just then both of their swords pulsed, leaving both quite shocked. Their heads were turned from their swords to Kagome as the few fragments she carried began to glow. Kagome's eyes shot open. "Inuyasha, all of the jewel shards have been found. The jewel is calling to become whole."
"WHAT?!?"
"We need to get back to the others."
Sesshoumaru decided it would be in his best interest to follow along with them. He still wasn't quite sure why he had unveiled so much to his brother. However his was slightly intrigued by the events that had taken place and felt that by journeying with them he might find some answers as to what was going on with both him and his sword. Plus Naraku would be making an appearance soon, which would prove quite interesting.
`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`* `*`*`*`*`*
As the three of them came to the outside of the village they could tell something was wrong.
"It's that boy." Sesshoumaru hissed under his breath. He could smell that young child, the one that tried to kill Rin.
"Boy? Who is he talking about Inuyasha?"
"It's Kohaku." Inuyasha bore a scowl as he looked from Kagome to Sesshoumaru. "This can't be good."
"Sango!!!" Kagome took off for the village leaving the boys in shock at her actions.
"Does she always run straight into danger before thinking her actions through?" Sesshoumaru was trying to hide the slight fascination in his voice. This woman was either extremely stupid or extremely brave.
"Yea pretty much." Inuyasha didn't bother glancing back at his brother as he took off in the direction Kagome ran.
Inuyasha found Kagome with her hands held over her mouth in shock. She was trembling, once again emitting electricity from her body. As his eyes traveled from her to the bodies in front of him he let out a small gasp.
There lied a lifeless Shippou with a very battered looking Miroku kneeling next to him. To their right was Kohaku's pale body and a grieving Sango over him.
"Sa-an-go?" Kagome's eyes were placed upon Shippou. She knew if she tried to walk she would only collapse, so she stood there frozen unable to do anything but gaze upon her lifeless kit.
"Here Kagome." Sango held out the shard of the Shikon jewel that enabled Kohaku to walk amongst them.
Everyone stared blankly at Sango as Kagome took the shard from her shaking hands. The look on Kagome's face said it all. 'How could she do this, her brother was the one thing holding her together.'
Sango read her friends face and began to explain. "He has killed so many innocent people. I had to put a stop to it before his soul became completely corrupted, even if it was Naraku who was controlling him. His actions could not go unpunished.
Throughout Sango's whole speech Kagome's eyes never lifted from Shippou's body. Sesshoumaru saw how she eyed her kit, afraid to walk over to him. She was not willing to admit what had happened. And for some reason seeing her in pain was like a miasma laced dagger jabbed into his heart. He walked over next to the kneeling monk and stood beside him. Without a second thought he swung his sword at the lifeless kitsune.
To everyone's shock the small kitsune began to breath again. With this Kagome ran up to her kit and embraced him. "Kagome? What happened?" Shippou was looking up at Kagome with innocent eyes. "Shh, everything is ok don't worry."
Sesshoumaru turned to walk away when he was stopped by a warm hand clasped around his own. He could feel her energy pouring into him, wave after wave, it was intoxicating and it was the only thing he could focus on. "Thank you." He gave a slight nod that was only visible to her and continued walking towards the other side of the village. He figured it would probably be best if he gave everyone some space. Besides he didn't feel like having his brother hound him with questions.
Suddenly Kagome came to a realization. "Sango ." She was cut off before she could even begin her sentence. "No Kagome, it is better this way." She walked over to her friend and gave her a warm hug. "Come on lets give him a proper burial." And with that said they all began to put things back in order.

Okay so what did you think of this chapter. I know I got a bit carried away with Sesshoumaru and his rather uncharacteristic attitude but I couldn't help it. Please review and let me know what you are thinking.
Also if anyone has any ideas such as what they might like to see happen it would help greatly. I'm at a bit of a loss. I want something to happen between Kagome and Sess, but I'm blocked.. any ideas????
Thanks again.
