Thank you for those of you who reviewed, I really do appreciate it. Your
comments help me determine what to write. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
As always I do not own Inuyasha or anything else pertaining to him although I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Sesshoumaru......hentai thoughts, bad me. Okay, okay on with the show.
Chapter 6 - In Due Time
Time seemed to flow like an endless river, each day passing lifelessly in the great vastness of the world around them. Needless to say these days were a struggle. One fight after another, Naraku was sending swarms of demons after them. He knew the all of the shards were found and he wanted what was left. His hunger for power became a blind rage, his lust for the shikon no tama began to eat away at his sanity. He was a puppet to his actions. Ironically he was becoming just another actor in his carefully orchestrated masterpiece.
Of all the fights one in particular had taken its toll on the group. Naraku had sent his usual barrage of demons to fight for him along with Kagura and Kanna, another of his brilliant manipulations. After a heated battle the group managed to defeat the two once and for all. This feat was not done without a price however. Everyone was injured, even Sesshoumaru himself, though not as bad as the others. He of course was the one to finally defeat Kagura, much to her own surprise. Yet she always believed that Sesshoumaru would be the one to defeat Naraku thus making her end slightly fitting.
For once Inuyasha didn't complain about the help. Everyone was just glad it was finally over..well that part at least. Kagome however had surprised them all when she defeated Kanna with one of her arrows. Unlike the last time she had shot an arrow at Kanna, this one was done with such intensity since she had been training her miko powers that she easily defeated the emotionless demon child.
While everyone made shelter to rest, Sesshoumaru began to speak to Kagome on what their next course of action would be. There strategy-ridden conversation soon took a turn when Kagome had asked him quite bluntly what he was doing with them. She was sick of beating around the bush and was tired..she wanted answers. Sesshoumaru was shocked to say the least and actually showed it. She waited patiently for him to respond. Finally regaining his composure he began to answer.he owed her that much. "I am quite fond of you miko, I can see why that half wit stays by your side."
"You hold much power that far surpasses even some of the most powerful demons." He glanced around to make sure everyone was asleep before proceeding.especially his annoying brother. When he determined all was ok he took a hand to her face. "I am truly sorry for killing you, had I know your importance and the affect you would have on me I would have never relished in the idea."
Kagome sat there stunned. What was he doing.in fact what was it with the men around here lately. "Kagome, I.....I."
Did he just stutter???
Before she could question any further he placed his lips against hers. 'Ahhhhhhh I thought Kouga was good...I think I'm melting.'
He broke from her sweet lips and looked into her deep eyes. "I don't have the right to take what is not mine." Okay I know this doesn't make sense.he is always trying to take the Tetsusaiga but this time he truly meant it. Kagome was his and he didn't have a right to her no matter how much that tore him apart inside. Jealousy for his brother was enraging him but he the Lord of the Western Lands would not let something so petty engulf his being. So he did what any self righteous man would do. Let denial choose its course.
"I will stay by your side and help defeat Naraku, but I must get back to my lands.and Rin, I fear she is probably worried sick..not to mention that she has probably killed Jaken."
"Thank you Sesshoumaru." Kagome put her hand to his cheek and began to rub her thumb across his markings. Her touch made his heart ache but she pulled away before it could go any further.
Inuyasha began to stir uncomfortably in his sleep. Kagome got up and went to his side. She knew now what Kouga had meant when he said that she belonged to him. Oddly enough it had been Sesshoumaru who had put the pieces together for her.
She laid herself down next to him, even in his sleep he could feel her presence and settled down into a deep sleep. He looked so innocent in his sleep. There wasn't a care in the world shown on his features. For once, in a very long time, he looked to be at peace and Kagome wouldn't let anyone disturb him, he needed rest more than anyone. They had a long road ahead of them and it wasn't going to be a walk in the park either.

I apologize for the really short chapter...but then something is better than nothing right???? I'll try to get the next chapter up soon. I'm really excited about the ending, now all I have to do is get there. I'm really bad at writing battle senses so if anyone has any tips let me know.
Hopefully there will be a little more dialect in the next chapter, not so much story but more one on one interaction. If anyone has any tips or suggestions let me know. If there is anything that you would like to see happen tell me and I'll see if I can work something out.
Domo Arigato and until next time take care and make sure to read lots of good fanfics.

Naraku: Kuku kuku
Inuyasha: Not yet you baka, you don't show up for another chapter or so, go back to your trailer.
Naraku: Poor pathetic fool you don't know what is in store for you...but I do. Neiner Neiner.
Inuyasha: What are you talking about, nothing happens to me, right? Right????
