Sorry I haven't updated in forever!!

Disclaimer - I do not own inuyasha, sigh

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but with only 3 people reading and reviewing my story I don't have a lot of incentive. But that's all right I got around to it!!

Kagome watched the shapes blur as sesshomaru sped across the field, he was much faster then inu yasha and she knew he wasn't going full speed. Kirara was beginning to tire and they knew they would have to stop soon, it was getting dark although inuyasha showed no signs of weariness.

"Ok inu yasha, we've got to stop and spend the night soon, you may be half demon but we're human " Sango told inu yasha. "Quite right, we'll need to save our strength there is no point in continuing any further at this time" Miroku expanded on Sango's thought. "Do you agree kagome?" Miroku asked only to realize that she had fallen asleep while they were talking.

"Then it's settled, let's stop here" Sango said wearily, hopping off Kirara's back. They all settled down but inu yasha, kiyoka had fallen asleep long ago and he was sitting with her in a tree, whispering softly to her.

Sesshomaru had put off lying down, he found he liked the warmth coming from Kagome's body and she smelt really good. He wasn't sure where these thoughts were coming from, but he knew he had to get away from her.

This was a harder task then anticipated as the way she had positioned herself, he could not get her off without hurting her or waking her up.

He tried to wake her but she seemed to be dead to the world and his best attempts did not wake her. He decided that he, lord sesshomaru would not be disgraced by a human and turned to smash her into a tree in hopes she'd fall off he heard a voice from above. "Don't hurt her you bastard and I'll kill you."

Sesshomaru looked up to see inu yasha he knew now wasn't a good time to fight so he controlled his temper and asked "then what do you suggest I do with her, idiot?" Inu yasha's response was simple and aggravating, even as much as he hated his brother touching Kagome, this chance was too funny to pass up.

"Just leave her where she is" he said then averted his attention to avoid any blood curdling glares. Sesshomaru felt a growl rising in his throat, how he hated this stupid miko, he consented none the less and to his annoyance, just as he found a position that would allow him to be comfortable and her to sleep, her grip lessened.

She fell into his arm, he subconsciously decided to let her stay where she was, at least she smelt good.

Kagome woke up in the morning leaning against something soft and warm, she turned her head to find she was leaning against sesshomaru who was awake.

"Um oops" she offered. "Don't let it happen again" the taiyoukair answered. Blushing kagome said "I guess that was the second time that's happened, I'm sorry if it happens again but I've been really tired lately."

She proceeded to get up, just then kiyoka hopped onto her shoulder, "you're finally up Kagome!" Kagome was thrown off balance; she fell onto sesshomaru, her lips smashing into his. Both caught off guard, Kagome's tongue went into his mouth, getting cut on his fangs.

They both froze for a moment, unsure of what to do, "eewe kagome get your tongue out of his mouth, and sorry about knocking you over" came kiyoka's voice from her shoulder. Kagome and sesshomaru broke apart quickly,

Kagome mumbling sorry, but when his gaze met hers she froze "oh my gosh, I really thought he was going to kiss me there for a moment" Kagome thought feeling strangely disappointed "wait a minute, I didn't even want him to!" she thought again, thought really she wished he would have.

Sesshomaru's usually calm face was full of emotions, he felt for a moment there that she was all he really wanted, but a human?

It was nothing he assured himself and his face became impassive once more. Inu yasha had noticed, under some circumstances he would have attacked his brother but under the current circumstances he found it extremely funny.

He wouldn't have thought it at all funny if he realized that kagome was really falling for his older brother, even if he didn't love Kagome like that he still wouldn't have wanted his brother to have her. He stopped laughing long enough to say "you know you could find somewhere a little more private."

Kagome was really embarrassed by now and only had one thing to say to inu yasha, "inuyasha," she started, they all knew what was coming except Sesshomaru and Kiyoka, "SIT" she yelled. Kiyoka giggled as she watched her father fall head first into the dirt. They started on their way early that day.

"We should reach Naraku's northern realm by this evening, we should make camp before challenging him" Kagome heard lord sesshomaru's calm voice as she clung to his back.

He proved to be correct, they camped slightly outside of his borders. This time Kagome was awake long after sesshomaru fell asleep, demon or not running all day everyday was beginning to take it's toll on him. Kagome crawled over to him, using her miko powers she healed his weariness a bit, they would rely on him in saving Saeko. The only reason she rarely used this spell was that it tired her greatly and caused her to have odd dreams.

She felt weariness creep over her immediately, she collapsed beside sesshomaru, pulling her sleeping bag over to her and was instantly asleep.

She did dream that night and a strange dream she did have. She was in a small room, completely dark save for a small light at the very end.

She felt as though she had to get to the light or something awful would happen. She ran until a shape came into view it was Sesshomaru who was lying face down in a pool of his own blood. She tried to scream but found she could not, she kept running until she was level with his body.

She stopped in front of sesshomaru. She knelt down beside him and rolled him to face her, tears were streaming down her cheeks and there was nothing she could do to help his pain except watch.

"Sesshomaru!!" she yelled "no don't go,

" a dark shape approached her but before she could see what it was she awoke with a start. "Would you shut up?" she heard inu yasha's voice, she opened her eyes, tears still on her face.

She found herself once again in Sesshomarus arm, she could see many faces peering in around her, "you had a nightmare" Sesshomaru stated simply, "you woke us all up when you screamed sesshomaru's name" Sango explained.

"Though was it really a nightmare?" Miroku said, smirking pervertedly. "You slept walked over to sesshomaru, called his name and fell into his arms - er arm" inu yasha explained, he had been watching from the tree above. "A nightmare huh? Sorry guys I didn't mean to wake you all up," kagome sighed.

When everyone had left she turned to sesshomaru,. "I'm sorry about that, I 'm really glad you're alright though - I was really scared. "Care to enlighten me, or would you rather not talk about it?" Sesshomaru asked quietly.

Kagome chose to tell him what had happened and when she finished she was crying again, she pressed her face to his chest, wrapping her arms around him. Her actions caught him off guard and before he could think about what he was doing he returned the embrace.

Kagome turned her head to look straight up into his golden eyes and their lips met softly, "is sesshomaru kissing me?" kagome thought faintly. Sesshomaru was surprised when she began to reture the kiss.

He suddenly broke away from her, "I have to prepare to leave" he said quickly knocking Kagome over. She was confused " had he really just kissed her? Why did he push her away?" she thought but the idea of the cold taiyoukai falling for a human was ridiculous and she pushed the notion out of her head as she ran off into the forest, she needed time to think. She still had at least 2 hours before they left to battle Naraku.

She dashed off and was sitting beside the river when she heard a low deadly hiss from behind her.

She stood up quickly and decided it was time to return to camp, she started to run. She felt uneasy as though something was following her.

Just then she felt hre feet bding pulled out from under her, she landed harshly beside a rather large snake youkai, she opened her mouth to scream for inu yasha but sesshomarus name came out instead.

She screamed his name once more before the snake demon silenced her as he pulled her farther into the forest. Sesshomaru heard her scream from across the forest and instantly turned and ran towards her scent, which carried fear on it. He had to find her.

Sorry I've taken so long to update!!!

You see I only have 3 people reading my story which is enough, just not enough to give me a whole lot of incentive to write. Then there are also the other things such as my computer was broken and I went through editing it and took out half the story so yah. I have the next chapter written though, so I'll type it up asap.

Thankyou to:
