Alrighty, like I said in the ending note in my last chapter, I fixed
everything so all the spelling errors and misspelled names are correct. I
even gave Sesshoumaru gold/amber/yellow eyes. If you have any other
comments, questions, or complaints, you my kiss my shiny metal ass. ok (
(or email me at isissayed@msn.com) And remember folks, what self-respecting
streaker would wear a G-string?!

Chapter #5: Someone She Could Trust
Inuyasha walked back and forth in front of the fire where Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were sitting. Kagome hadn't come back yet and they had no idea where she was. Inuyasha was nervous of course but he didn't want to disobey Kagome's orders, for once. "Where is she?" He muttered to himself as he paused and looked intot he forest, "It's already been three hours! Where could she have gone off to?
He continued pacing while the others just watched, not moving. Inuyasha looked from the ground to the edge of the forest every few seconds. He couldn't imagine where she had gone. 'What if she ran into Sesshoumaru again? He didn't hurt her the first time but he could. It's strange though. I would have caught his scent if he was anywhere near by.' He looked back at the forest again and sniffed a few times, just to check that he didn't smell his older brother's scent. 'Well, if Sesshoumaru didn't get a hold of her, what about Naraku? He always seams to be in the right place at the right time.' He thought as he stopped pacing and looked at the forest again.
"Inuyasha, if you're so worried, why don't you just go after her?" Said Shippo as the little fox jumped up on his shoulder, "Your fidgeting is really annoying!"
Inuyasha growled under his breath. He reached up and grabbed the little fox and dangled Shippo in from of him, "Would you stop it?! She told me not to go after her! She's probably fine!"
"So your listening to her now?" Miroku said with a slight laugh as he stood up and walked around to face Inuyasha, Sango soon to follow him.
Inuyasha growled again, dropping Shippo as he did. "Fine! I'll go after her! But if I get yelled at, I'm blaming you!" He jumped into the nearest tree and headed off into he woods. "I'll be back soon. Don't wait up for me!" He yelled as he disappeared from sight.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Sesshoumaru walked slowly alongside Rin and Jaken. He really didn't have anywhere he needed to go but Rin and Jaken were getting restless. He sighed softly. He hadn't been able to get his mind of Kagome since he had left her with Inuyasha. He knew his little brother wouldn't let anything happen to her but what if she was on her own again? 'She ran into me the first time. She was luck I'm fond of her or else she would be dead. What if she runs into someone like Naraku next time? She could be killed.' He thought.
'Hopefully she will stay with Inuyasha. She'll be safer with him although I still don't think he is good enough protection for someone with a will that strong.' Sesshoumaru thought as he looked up at the slowly rising moon.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, I'm tired!" Rin complained as she tugged on Sesshoumaru's sleeve. The little girl was looking up at him, smiling happily, knowing he would let them stop for the night. Jaken, on the other hand, was complaining that they should keep going and that it wasn't safe to stay in the open. The little toad wanted to wait until they had reached the next patch of trees but Sesshoumaru liked Rin's argument a lot better than Jaken's. 'Besides,' He thought, 'I'll be closer to Kagome if we stay here.'
After teaching Rin how to light a fire with a few sticks, Sesshoumaru excused himself from Rin and Jaken and walked to a lone tree in the large field they were in. He jumped into the lofty branches of the elm tree and sat down, looking in the direction in which he had left Kagome. "Good Night." He whispered softly.
"Did you say something Sesshoumaru?" Asked a voice from a branch near the one he was sitting on. The shadowed form of Naraku came into the soft light of the moon. The baboon cloak covered the face of the demon as he watched Sesshoumaru from his perch.
"Good evening Naraku. Have you come to trick me into killing Inuyasha again?" Sesshoumaru said in his usual tone as he turned to Naraku. Sesshoumaru looked at the demon for a moment then realized he carried a familiar scent that was not his own. 'Kagome,' He thought to himself.
Naraku chuckled, "Of course not. I came to tell you about your little human friend Kagome. It seams Inuyasha is not as kind as she thought." Naraku sneered under the cloak, 'it seams he is smarter than I thought.'
Sesshoumaru glared at Naraku for a moment. "Your lying Naraku. I can smell Kagome all you. I doubt Inuyasha has touched her. Now would you care to explain to me why you carry the scent of her blood?
Naraku laughed softly under the cloak. He stood up on the branch and jumped quietly down to the ground. "You will have to find out for yourself."
Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed as he watches Naraku disappear into the oncoming darkness. 'Kagome' the thought. "Rin! You and Jaken stay here! I'm going to be gone again tonight. Don't leave this place until I return" He yelled to Rin and Jaken as he jumped out of the tree and took off in a run towards the forest in which they came.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called as he ran swiftly though the forest in search of the girl. 'What happened to her?' he thought to himself as he paused on the top branches of a tall tree to look around. A small trace of a recognizable scent blew past him on the wind. "Kikyo." He whispered as he looked across the treetops. A small glimpse of white light caught his eye as a sole catcher disappeared into the trees.
Inuyasha jumped off the tree and chased after the sole catcher. His mind completely forgot about Kagome as he chased after Kikyo. Inuyasha caught up with the sole catcher and followed it until in entered a small clearing where Kikyo was waiting.
"Kikyo," He whispered again as he looked at the young woman standing in the clearing, collecting the lights being brought to her by the sole catchers. Inuyasha took a few steps closer to Kikyo who had her back turned to him and didn't seam to notice his presence.
"Stop where you are Inuyasha." Kikyo said without turning around to face him. A slight breeze had picked up and her hair was blowing gently in the wind. Inuyasha stopped when Kikyo told him but did not take his eyes off her for a second.
"Kikyo." Inuyasha said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong to leave you. Will you forgive me?" He pleaded as he watched Kikyo collect soles from the sole catchers circling around her.
Kikyo smiled to herself and turned to face Inuyasha, "So you've come back to me? And what about the little girl you ran after last time? Will you run after her again?" Kikyo wasn't going to let Inuyasha go this time weather his answer was the one she wanted to hear or not.
"No Kikyo." Inuyasha said softly as he walked closer to Kikyo, "I will never run from you again. I.I love you Kikyo." He said as he pulled Kikyo into his arms and kissed her without thinking. She had always had a spell over him but he could hardly control himself this time. There was nothing he could do to get away form Kikyo. He was trapped forever.

Kagome's blood stained shirt had begun to stick to her skin and was becoming very uncomfortable. Her face was stained with tears but she knew she had to return to Inuyasha. He would be very worried by now. She pulled slowly tried to pull herself to her feet, using a tree branch for support.
She was only able to walk a few steps before falling back to the ground on her knees. Sesshoumaru had left every muscle in her body aching with pain. She rubbed her bruised shoulder as she lay back against a tree. "Inuyasha," She said between breaths, "Where are you?"
The sky had darkened and Kagome knew Inuyasha and the others would be worried about her but she still was hardly able to walk. Again she managed to get to her feet and take a few steps but she couldn't go any farther. Kagome stood for a moment and looked into he forest for Inuyasha. She fell towards the ground again but was caught this time. "Inuyasha?" She whispered as she turned her head to see who had caught her.
Sesshoumaru held Kagome up and kept her from falling again, "Kagome." He whispered as he looked her over, "What did he do to you?" Sesshoumaru's eyes scanned Kagome's body, checking for fatal wounds. Upon finding none, he brought his eyes back to hers to find a look of horror on her face.
"Get away form me!" She yelled as she pushed him away, letting herself fall to the ground. Kagome kept her eyes fixed on his but she refused to let him get closer to her. She pulled herself as far away as she could before she collapsed in the dirt, sobbing with fear.
"Kagome." Sesshoumaru whispered as he tried to walk over to her, " What are you talking about?" He took another step towards Kagome who tried to pull herself further away from him.
Sesshoumaru thought for a moment then muttered under his breath, "Naraku. It was Naraku that did this to you Kagome. I wouldn't hurt you like this."
Kagome shook her head, her eyes still fixed on him, "No." She said, her head shaking back and forth. "It was you.. I saw you.. You grabbed me.. And.." She began sobbing again, her eyes falling closed and moving away from him for the first time since he had arrived in the clearing.
Sesshoumaru watched her for a moment, trying to figure out exactly what had happened between her and Naraku. 'I need some more information.' He thought to himself. 'I need.' he sighed slight, "Inuyasha."
Kagome's eyes opened again and she looked up at Sesshomaru, "Stay away from Inuyasha! He didn't do anything!" She yelled as she sat up and looked at him, her eyes glowing with a combination of fear and rage.
"Kagome, tell me, Can Naraku change shape to look like someone else?" Sesshoumaru asked, his eyes staying calm as he looked at the girl sitting on the ground in front of him. All the fear and rage fell from her stare as she began to realize what Sesshoumaru had already assumed.
Kagome nodded slightly as she looked to the ground. "Y..yes." She whispered, "He can." Her eyes filled with softer tears as she looked up at Sesshoumaru. "I'm sorry." She said as she tried again to stand up.
A strong arm wrapped around Kagome's waist as she started to fall again. Sesshoumaru carefully helped her to her feet and picked her up. To his surprise, Kagome let him take her back to Inuyasha and the others. Kagome had realized what Naraku had done. It had taken her a little while but Kagome finally realized that Sesshoumaru was someone she could trust.
