Author's Note:
Ok, I am SOOOOO sorry, I know I have said this before, but I can explain myself! I also know you are probably thinking I am a horrible person for getting my computer taken away from me so much..... but.... I got it taken away again for one month of the 3 I was gone (sorry DC!!!).... it is my favorite thing so naturally it is the first to go if I do something wrong! And then I had major writers block! I have no idea where to go with the story like I have said in the past... I have an ending, but don't know how to tie it all together! After a long wait, and I'm sure the loss of a few readers; here is chapter 21 of All of Me.....!
Disclaimer: I don't think that just because I left for a few months, means that I own Inu-Yasha now.... I wish....

Sango strolled the department store wistfully.... Grabbing the blouse and skirt that had caught her attention, she walked back to Ms. Higurashi.
"Oh, Sango! That is a lovely blouse and skirt combo, they are just your color! You have quite an eye for...." She looked up and noticing the expression on her shopping partner. "I know, I know, but we have to look on the bright side of things! Kagome has always been a strong person and a survivor. I know that she will find a way threw this mess of things." Ms. Higurashi tried to give the most encouraging smile, "Come on, let's pay for these things and head on home...."

Miroku awoke to the familiar feel of steel around his wrists and ankles. The same uncomfortable position too. Drawing in a deep breath, he winced in pain. The deep gouges made in his back opened, letting them open to the air's touch; it stung like nothing else.
"What have I gotten myself into this time...?" He shook his head despairingly.
"Nothing that you cannot get out of." A cool voice coming from the shadows said.
Miroku squinted his eyes distastefully at the all too familiar voice. "Sesshoumaru."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Konte entered the house with the key he had acquired from Ms. Higurashi, and moved aside to let Kagome pass him. She just stood there oddly, moving from one foot to another.
"Kagome, it is ok, you can walk past me! I do remember..."
Kagome looked kind of startled at the words, 'h-he... remembers... and he doesn't care? How can that be? Inu-Yasha went psycho....' looking up she searched his eyes. All she found was love and concern, no hate, spite, or a want to kill her... ^__^" "But... Konte...." She looked away, "How...?"
"How can I still care about you after all you did? Is that what you are asking?" by the downward glance of hers, he knew that was it.
"I..... Don't even know what I did. Inu-Ya..." she paused for a moment; it was SO odd talking to him about, well.... himself... "Inu-Yasha..." Kagome continued, "was pretty mad."
"Come inside Kagome." Konte insisted.

Side note: Ok, I just realized that I have left Shippou out of the story for 5 or so chapters... This is where he was before---- Shippou woke up in a dark room. He rubbed his head, and groaned, 'what happened?' All he could remember was running ahead towards the village , then blackness. 'It is my fault, I suppose, Sango said she didn't want me going alone, 'something could happen to you!' she had said,' at the time he had shrugged it off haughtily, 'why didn't I hear or smell them?!' Shippou mentally kicked himself....
Ok? On with the story.....
************************************************************************
Shippou searched the room with his eyes, finding nothing but cold shadows. There were no defining qualities to the room, and nothing in it but the shackles that bound him in the most uncomfortable way! There were steel cuffs around his wrists and ankles, with chains that attached to the wall. His arms were held above his head. (You know how that goes.... sucks to be him... Poor Miroku...)
The only door to the room was used to give him food and drink every day, twice a day. Nothing more. And when the man walked in with his 'meal', Shippou would attack the demon with questions. Practically drove the man insane, so much to the point of grabing a hold of Shippou's clothes and holding dangerous looking claws to his neck. Threatening him, saying that it was a good thing that 'Master' wanted him alive, because he was ready to kill Shippou.... That shut Shippou up... He didn't want to get on a cat demons nerve, even though he kinda already had. Oops. (That is what the demon is, a kitty! ' ' !)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You sound as if you are not glad to see me, Miroku." Sesshoumaru gave a smirk.
"What have you got to do with all this?" Miroku labored, exhausted from his wounds.
"Oh, I have a great position in this current event. But not in the way you might believe." He answered calmly.
"What do you mean?"
"Believe if you will," He paused, searching the dark walls for what Miroku did not know, but assumed listening ears. When Sesshoumaru walked toward him and knelt down close, he knew that what was to be said, could not be heard in this place. "That I am not in favor of this so called 'lord'. He has grand plans for a new world. He speaks of a pact for the demon lords, to combine their powers and rise up above all creatures. But Genku Shinai only has one thing he wants and one thing alone; to rule all creatures himself. He may sound like a power hungry fool, and he may be one, but there is more then meets the eye. He has powers far more vast then any one can imagine; the power to change time and space, memory and dream. How can any one stand before him and not bend to his will?"
"So what am I supposed to do? If you haven't noticed, I'm a little tied up at the moment, if you'd like to come back at a more convenient time I'd be ha...."
"Do not take this situation lightly; maybe you* haven't noticed that 'they' are willing to make your life end for knowledge, they are willing to take Sango, and Kagome's life too. Are you going to turn their lives into a mere joke, or witty comment as you have yours?"
Miroku sat there thinking over what he had heard. He knew these people were serious; the deep cuts in his back, proved it. But why was Sesshoumaru here telling him all this?

Well I hope to get back in the swing of writing.... please R+R to encourage me! (Oh and DC? Can you do one signed review please? Thankies!)
