Disclaimer- I don't own Inu Yasha and co. Sorry I haven't updated. We had to Hp Recovery our computer downstairs and for some reason it won't let us hook up Roadrunner again but he is coming this weekend to see what's wrong. :)

Chapter 8- He's back

We went home that night and I stood guard Sesshomaru's room as he selpt and I looked out the window thinking of the past. It just took me by suprised to see him here again after so long, I was starting to give up hope and now everything was just fitting together again as if nothing ever happened. There was a knock at the door and I answered it to reviel Rin standing there looking up at me.

" Why are you in here?" she spat pushing me aside.

" I'm here to protect him, he requested I stay in here since Kagura attacked him in his sleep one night. If he should die on the account of my laziness I would never forgive myself," I explained as she rolled her eyes.

" And if he were to die?" she questioned with rage in her voice.

" If I am to fail this mission apointed to me then I shall be sentenced to death by my boss and blaimed for the murder," I stated taking as seat by the window as she walked over to Sesshomaru. The sun was rising and I guess Rin was here to wake him up. She shook him but he didn't wake, heck, she tried everything she could think of to try to wake him up but nothing seemed to work.

" Kagome, somethings wrong with him!" she cried running over to me hugging me. Of course she'll be nice to me once lover boy is in trouble.

" Shh... it will be alright, he's just tired from last night is all, I'm sure he's just sleeping," I said as she shook his head.

" He always wakes up," she cried as I walked over to Sesshomaru's bed. I grabbed his hand and chacked for a pulse but found none.

" Shit, guys, I need your help!" I yelled as the others came running in complaining on how early it was, " don't give me that guys, something's wrong with Sesshomaru, he has no pulse!"

" What?" Inu Yasha yelled grabbing his arm from mine checking it to prove I was wrong but was unsussessful in doing so. He turned to me and I laid my head on his chest as sielet tears fell from my eyes.

" What are we going to do?" I cried as he comforted me.

" Tell Siato, I'm sure he will understand that he died peacefully in his sleep," he said with a hint of sadness in his voice as I pulled away and sat on the bed. I placed my hand on his cheek then kissed his cold lips with mine as a tear fell on his face.

" Why now? What when we finally found each other again?" I questioned as Inu Yasha pulled me away from him taking me out of the room to call headquarters.

We were shipped back to headquarters and I was put in a room by myself for my failure. I was the one in charge so I am the one to get the punishment of death. I sat in the room on the stoolthinking about Sesshomaru and all the times we had together.

" I guess we'll be meeting each other again really soon lover," I whispered as more tears fell from my eyes.

**************Sesshomaru's POV*******************

* Where am I?* I questioned as I moaned in pain. My hands were chained together and I felt like I had just been hit by a truck.

" Why, good morning Sesshomaru, I didn't expecting the sleeping powder to wear off so soon, but then again you slep long enough for your miko to be sentenced to death for failing her mission in protecting you," I heard Naraku laugh as I growled.

" What the fuck are you talking about?" I yelled as an image appeared in front of me.

************Flashback, Kag's POV************

Once we made it back to headquarters all the Generals surrounded me with guns ready to shoot.

" Higurashi Kagome, you are under arrest, you have to right to remain sielent, everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law," Siato stated as I dropped to my knees letting my gun make a half cirle on my finger so it was facing the ground as someone took it from me. My hands were forcefully placed behind my back and I was roughly pulled up.

" Your taking this pretty well, why?" Siato questioned but I refused to answer as he threw me into the room that had white walls. It could make anyone go insane but I had other things on my mind at the current moment, " the trial will be held in two days Higurashi, don't expect to get out of death, for that is what you deserve."

************End Flashback, Sess pov********************

* Iris,* I thought sadly as I glared at Naraku and his little friend, Shishio.

" You'll pay for this!" I growled as my concealing spell dropped and my eyes became blood red, " nobody messes with her!"

I transformed into my true form breaking the chains that were holding me down as I attacked Naraku. He dodged my claws but not my bite. I shook my head causing him to get even more wounds from my actions as he went flying up against the wall with a loud thump. I spit out his detached arm onto the ground in front of him as I turned to Shishio. He held a smirk on his face as I charged him into the wall where he vanished from sight. I looked around and couldn't see or feel either one of them in the room. I quickly calmed myself as I jumped out of the the building summoning my cloud as I headed towards Kagome's headquarters. It would take a maximum of three days to get there, I would be too late for the trial but I could always make sure she doesn't die by going there before the execution.

***********Inu groupie***************

" We can't continue to work here knowing that Kagome was killed by them, some way we need to bust her out of there. It's not her fault Sesshomaru is dead I mean, come on, who knew that he was going to be dying in his sleep?" Sango questioned as Miroku placed his arms around her waist.

" Don't worry, everything will be alright, she has been in worst situtations before, you remember the times we fought the demons for the shards, we'll make it through this," he said kissing her neck to comfort her.

" Why?" she questioned looking back at him as he smiled claiming her lips in a kiss. The conversation forgotten temerarily as she kissed back.

" Ahem," they heard seperating as Inu Yasha smirked, " if only Kagome could see you now."

" Oh shut up, now, we need a plan to get her out of there, the trial is today, after the trial we should be aloud to visit her," Sango explained and they all nodded.

" So here's what we do," Miroku stated.

***********Kag's POV... next day***********

" Hey failure, time for judgement," Siato stated as I stood to my feet as he dragged me to the court room. Most of the people there were my friends from the CIA and they all gave me pity looks until I looked over to Kenshin. He was one of the guards, his hand rested on the hilt of his sword as he nodded at me. I noticed something different about him though, instead of his eye's being violet they were a yellow gold, meaning he was a manslayer once again.

* Stand down, this is my fight,* I thought to him as his eye's turned violet once again and I smiled taking a seat.

The trial went by very sowly as if time had stopped and they were talking about how I failed and how I should be put to death. They had a few of my friends testify against me and they willingly did it because they were jealous of me but they made the mistake to make Inu Yasha go to the stand. He was sworen in and he looked at me.

" Tell me, Yasha, what is your relationship to the General?" Siato questioned looking at him.

" Best friends," he stated.

" Then tell me, why did I get a message from Maru that you two vanished out of nowhere and returned with your clothes torn and dirty?" he questioned with a smirk.

" Certianly you know of her being a demon and transforming on the night of the full moon, that night was it," Inu Yasha explained.

" Tell me then, do you hold a grudge against her for killing your girlfriend, Kikyo was it," he said as Inu Yasha narrowed his eyes.

" No, she was protecting herself from her and saving me from the brainwash spell I was put under at the time," he explained as Siato groaned.

" Then explain this," he said placing a picture in front of Inu Yasha. It was a picture of him and I in the past the time he tried to kiss me after I killed Kikyo.

" What of it? I was in love with her then but then she fell in love with my brother," he stated calmly leaning back in his chair.

" No further questions," he stated annoyed as Inu Yasha smirked taking a seat.

" There will be a small recess then the court will be in order after lunch and we will have our answer," the judge stated dismissing the court.

" Kagome!" Shippo yelled turning into his kit form jumping into my arms.

" Hey baby, I'm so sorry you have to be here for this, I should have never gotten involved," I stated as he shook his head.

" I won't let you die mommy, I won't let them touch you," he growled as I petted his tail.

" We second that," Inu Yasha said walking up with Sango and Miroku. Sango and Miroku were walking hand in hand andI smiled.

" Oh. so that's how it is, once I get charged for failure you get together, I see how it is," I said with a laugh.

" This isn't funny Kagome," Inu Yasha stated seriously.

" Well, I say that if I'm guilty I'll only live about two days after that until they execute me, I should be enjoying myself before I die," I stated as they shook there head.

" For christ sake Kagome, your only 20 and your ready to accept death? What is wrong with you?" Inu Yasha yelled as I sat down and Shippo jumped out of my arms.

" I'm too confused right now to do anything but smile, you think I'm doing it because I want to? I'm forceing an act here," I said as tears threatened to fall as the court was back.

" The jury has a vertice," he stated as I young man stood up with a card in his hand.

" Guilty," he said sitting down as everyone in the room gasped. I was dragged out of the room by the guard, which was Kenshin.

" Kagome, you know you couldn't help Maru's death, he died in his sleep, why are you letting them do this to you?" he questioned taking me to the last cell. I sat by the wall as he chained my hands to the wall.

" Because I don't know what else to do," I stated saddly.

" Don't worry, the gang and I are going to get you out before the sentencing tomorrow, sleep now," he said leaving me in the room by myself. I watched the sunset and rise that day until I fell asleep. There were some voices from outside but I didn't listen for I was in a deep sleep.

" I wish to look into her eyes," one said as the quard shook his head.

" You are not aloud," he stated.

" My brother just died and you will not alow me to see her?" he snapped.

" Oh ,so he was a blood relitive to you, fine go on in, beware she is dangerous," the guard warned as he walked to my cell. I had my head bowed and my hands were chained above my head forcing me to stay to the ground without movement.

" It is you who killed my brother," I heard him say knocking me out of my sleep. I never looked up to see his face, I looked at the ground in shame as he walked up to me. He kneeled in front of me and tilted my head up so I could see his face, " Sesshomaru?"

" Yes love, it is I, Naraku spiked my water at the club with sleeping powder. It took me three days to get here and I guess I made it here just in time," he said kissing my cheek.

" I thought you were dead," I said as a tear fell from my eye. He kissed it away and hugged me. I wish I could have hugged him back but the chains would not alow me to.

" Don't worry, I'll make things better again," he whispered kissing my lips. I hastily kissed back so he wouldn't pull away as tears started to fall freely from my eye's

" I love you," I whispered as he pulled away. He stroked my cheek then used his claws to unlock the chains. They cladered against the wall causing the guard to run in worried.

" What have you done to the prisoner? Put her back," he demanded as Sesshomaru placed an arm around my waist

" The mistress of the northernlands should not be treated with such disrespect," Sesshomaru said as the guard turned to me.

" Do you have proff of this?" he questioned as I summoned the eight sided star to appear on my head.

" It is royltiy to the norhternlands," I said as he nodded.

" And you sir, what makes you think you can come in here at your free will and take here?" he snared as Sesshomaru growled.

" I am Lord Sesshomaru of the Westarnlands, you should learn your place. I came to save Kagome because she is my soon- to- be mate, and I am the one she was sent to protect, I will explain later," he said walking past with me. Once around the corner I threw my arms around his neck and embraced him, " Iris."

" I still can't believe your here with me," I whispered kissing his neck. He hugged me back and we stayed like that for awhile until I pulled away, " we should go."

" Yes," he said kissing my lips before we walked up 5 flights of stairs to get to the lobby. I saw Sango, Miroku, Inu Yasha, and Kenshin sitting around the fire as we walked up.

" Oh my god, I thought you were dead!" Sango yelled hiding behind Miroku, " please don't haunt me."

" Sango, chill out, I'm sure there is an explaination to this," Inu Yasha stated turning to us.

" Yes, please explain, why is there a demon in here and when did you get that tatoo on your head," I heard from behind us and I jumped around to see Siato standing there with a gun in his hands.

" This demon, is the human called Maru," I stated.

" We went to a club and Naraku spiked the water I was drinking with sleeping powder, I just woke up three days ago to find myself chained to a wall with Naraku and Shishio. I escaped and came here because I saw what was happening to Kagome," he explained as Siato pointed the gun to me.

" Explain the mark," he spat as Sesshomaru placed an arm around my waist to comfort me.

" You have heard you the lords of the land, have you not?" I questioned as he nodded.

" Spike Higurashi of the North, Sesshomaru of the west, Kyo of the East, and Trey of the South," he said as I nodded.

" The symbol on my head is the symbol of the North, I am Iris Kagome Higurashi, little sister to Spike Higurashi and heir the the northernlands," I said as he dropped his gun on the floor.

" The last I heard of Iris Higurashi is when her father arranged her marriage to the heir to the westernlands," he stated and I looked up at Sesshomaru confused. I elbowed him and he looked down at me.

" What is he talking about?" I questioned.

" Before you left the middle age your father promised me your hand in marriage at the proper age," Sesshomaru said and I looked away.

* It's nice to know they think of me as a piece of property,* I thought bitterly as I turned away.

" General Higurashi, if I may, there is something here that you should see," Siato questioned turning away. I looked at the others the followed by myself into his office.

" What is it boss?" I questioned taking a seat across from him.

" There is a homicide case here that you might want to look at with your comrades," he stated handing me a folder. I nodded and walked out the door and sat down in front of the fire with the others.

" Kagome, what is that?" Inu Yasha questioned as Sesshomaru sat down next to me.

" A homicide case," I stated taking the pictures out to look at them.

" Oh my God," I heard Sango say putting her hand over her mouth. I could understand why she was doing it because after all, it was her brother that was lying there dead in the picture with stab wounds. I dropped the file and ran to her before she fell to her knees embracing her.

" Sango," I whispered sitting on the ground with her in my arms. She started to cry uncontrolably and I rubbed her back making soothing noises as Miroku walked up to me.

" I'll take her to her room," he said taking her out of my arms brital style walking away. I sighed standing up taking my place back on the couch with the file in hand.

" Is that really Kohaku?" Inu Yasha questioned as I nodded taking out the report. The detective on the case was my old friend Jen.

" I'm going to go do a follow up on this case, I'll be back around midnight or so," I stated standing up. Sesshomaru walked outside with me and I turned to him, " duty calls, I'm going to go check out the scene."

" I can help you," he said as I shook my head.

" It's my job, I'll do it, besides, "future-mate", as you said, I can protect myslef," I growled attempting to walk away but he grabbed me and pulled me around to face him.

" Don't be like that," he stated as I glared at him.

" Don't be like what? You want me to forget what I just heard. How can I know that you love me when the whole thing was arranged? I just need some time alright, leave me be," I stated walking to my car driving off out of sight.

" She doesn't believe me?" he questioned himself as he summoned his cloud and followed after me. It was an hour drive to the airport and once there I looked for Jen. I found her and she gave me some more information about the case, she didn't seem to remember me though but I took that as a good thing.

I turned to see Sesshomaru behind me as I sighed and walked up to him.

" Touch my shoulder if you insist on coming with me," I stated as he did. I instant transmissioned to ' Sakura High School' in the gym where it was night time.

" How did you do that?" he questioned and I shurruged.

" My friend Goku taught me how to do it, ( if you haven't noticed I'm throwing in random animes... I don't own them,) " I said as I walked down to the music hallway.

" I remember this place," Sesshomaru said as I nodded.

" You should, this is my old high school, you came here posing as a College student following me around. Lets see here, the murder happened in the music room with gas," I stated walking over to where the band room was. They had it marked off but I went under the tape switching on the light switch, " that's a nice sight."

" Indeed," he said as we looked at the dead body of Kohaku. I sighed putting on some gloves walking up to the body uncovering the rest of the body.

" He was staying after school for some help on his part for contest. He plays the French Horn number 229948576," I stated examining the body.

" How do you know all these things about murders and stuff?" Sesshomaru questioned as I placed a piece of black hair in the bag. I grabbed another bag and placed a piece of red string in it.

" CIA training, they teach you things about this," I stated placing the things in my pocket once I labeled them. I went into the insterment room and grabbed the French Horn he had been playing and took it out of the case. I took off the mouth piece and grabbed a clean one off of the directers desk as I blew in it to hear chrackling sounds, " God, never leave Jen to a homicid case."

" Why is this?" he asked as I poured the spit into another bag.

" Because she didn't check the insterment for spit, it could have some particals of blood in it and since it looks like he put up a fight it could have some information of the person who did this," I explained looking at Kohaku, " good for you."

" You realize your talking to a dead boy," he stated as I rolled my eyes.

" They said they couldn't find a murder weopon but it looks like it was done by a sword, what's this?" I questioned walking up to the body again. I put my hand in his pocket and took out the picture. It was a picture of Sango, " so, you remember Sango do you?"

" He's not going to answer you," he stated as I shot him an icey glare.

" No shit sherlock," I snapped walking out the room. I went to the main office and tried to open the door to find it locked. I willed my hand to grow claws as I unlocked the door disabling the code. I went to the computer and checked out his grades and scheldue. I printed out his schedule and went to his clasrooms. They seemed normal except when I came to Biology. I walked in and found a note on the floor so I picked it up and read it. What I saw wasn't something I wanted to see so I quickly put it in my pocket and retreated out of the building.

" Now where are we going?" Sesshomaru questioned from behind us.

" The lab," I stated walking into the lab since it was only a block away.

" Kagome, I wasn't expecting to see you here," I heard someone say as I looked up to see Kouga.

" So, you work as a researcher?" I questioned as he shook his head.

" I'm on the case that happened at the school," he stated as I threw somethings onto the lab counter, " what are these?"

" Things that were found on the victim," I stated walking out with Sesshomaru.

" Kagome, are you alright?" Sesshomaru questioned placing his hands on my shoulders.

" No, but I don't want to talk about it," I said as he pulled me back into an embrace.

" You can tell me whenever you want to," he stated as I nodded and walked to the shrine. I hadn't seen my mom since school went on spring break so I would stay the night there. I came to the steps and something clinged to my leg as I looked down to see Kyo. I smiled at him and picked him up.

" Does mommy know your out here this late?" he questioned me.

" No, but I should be asking you the same question shouldn't I?" I questioned as he smiled.

" I just wanted to see my big sissy again," he stated looking up at my with his cute blood red eyes. Normally they would scare the shit out of people but he was so cute that you chouldn't be afraid of him.

" Who is this?" Sesshomaru questioned looking at me.

" This is Kyo, my youngest brother, he is Naraku's child," I stated sadly as we walked inside to see my mom on the couch sleeping. She had a beer bottle in her hands and I rolled my eyes walking up to her. I took the botle and threw it away in the kitchen. We all walked upstairs to my room and I took the piece of paper out of my pocket. I handed it to Sesshomaru and told him I was going to take a shower. I walked out about 15 minutes later and I was pushed back onto my bed by Sesshomaru.

" What are you doing?" I questioned as he smirked.

" Well now, as I recall you are mad at me because you don't think I love you, you are highly mistaken lover," he whispered in my ear rolling off of me so he was laying next to me on the bed with his arms around my waist. I rolled over in his embrace placing my heads on his chest as my hands found there way around his waist also.

" I'm sorry, I've been really stressed out lately, Siato has been pushing me hard lately because school starts up again next week," I stated as he started to rub my back. I release my hands from behind his back and turn in his hold once again with my back to him. His fingers gently glide against my arm to my face where he wipes away a fallen tear. I can feel his hot breath on my neck as he slowly starts to kiss my neck and I relax into his body, " your just doing this because you know who killed Kohaku."

" I'm trying to make you chill out," he stated placing his head above mine on the pillow as he pulled the covers over us, " and because I know your father is out to get you and he wants me dead."

" What are we going to do?" I question staring at the wall in front of me as I feel his arms tighten around me hoping I find comfort in his hold.

" I don't know," he said, " but you should get some sleep, it will most likely be another stressful day tomorrow."

" Your right, see you tomorrow, pleasent dream. And Sesshomaru?" I say as he ' hum' to show that he was indeed listening, " I love you."

" I love you to, Iris, Kagome, or whatever your name is now after 500 years," he said kissing me on the lips as I responded. He deepened the kiss with his tongue as we pulled away breathless.

" Kagome is fine, or whatever," I yawn falling asleep instantly. I wake up to the sound of my cell phone ringing and I looked at it to see Siato's cell neumber appear on the front. I put it on silent and throw it on the ground as I heard a small laugh from behind me.

" That's not real professional," he stated kissing my nose as I smirk.

" I have dance team pratice today, I already asked off work so he can go fuck a tree or whatever he wills without me," I stated looking down at the position we were in. His hands were right below my breasts and one of his legs was in between mine as the other one as on top, " you mind releasing me? I have to be at school in about two hours and it's an hour drive."

" No," was his simple answer as the door to my room opened to reviel my mom who was being perky and carefree.

" Kagome, when did you get home and who is this young man you have brought with you?" she questioned with a smile.

" Last night and it's Sesshomaru," I yawned as she smirked.

" Oh him, I think I remember him now, yes, he used to be your friend until we left the middle age, you guys were insepratable," she stated, " so would you like something to eat?"

" No," Sesshomaru said standing up walking to my computer chair where he had placed his shirt. He put it on and I stood up and walked over to the closet.

" Um, you can leave now," I stated as she walked away.

" So, thats the same lady who holds the title of the northernlands?" he questioned as I nodded.

" Let's just say she's been really depressed ever since she found out about Granpa's death and Naraku's kid," I stated as he nodded. I pulled out a white tanktop and a pair of black pants. I turned my back to him as I started to take off my shirt. Almost instantly I felt a hand on my back caressing the slash on my back. His hand found it's way to my face and his lips were on my lips. I let him kiss me for awhile until I remembered I was only wearing a bra and I pulled away turning away from him once more. I put my shirt on then told him to turn around so I could put my pants on. I grabbed a pair of socks and my black gym shoes before I walked up to him and placed my head on his back.

" Kagome?" he questioned turning around as I placed my head on his chest. I grabbed his hands and laced our fingers together as I looked up at him.

" I got to go, but first I have to take you back," I stated.

" Why can't I stay here with you?" he questioned as I stood on my tip toes and kissed him on the check.

" Because I'm going to college to practice but if you want you can stay here with my mom and brothers and babysit," I stated.

" I'll do that," he said leaning down placing his head on my shoulder. I placed my arms around his neck and he placed his around my waist pulling me closer to him, " do you know what your doing to me?"

" No, but I have a guess because it is the same thing you are doing to me," I whispered as he kissed my neck. I ran my fingers through his long silver hair and sighed as I heard my watch beep, " got to go."

" Do you have to?" he questioned in a childish tone.

" Yes," I stated as he kissed me before I left my room.

" See you later," he said as I smiled at him before walking out the door. I took my moms car to school because she was under restriction and couldn't drive it anyways. I listened to my Linkin Park CD until I pull into the parking lot of the school and run into the gym to find most of the girls sitting on there butts with there boyfriend.

" Well, it's about time you got here, your a minute late," the captin Yuki stated taking her spot on the floor as the rest of us fell in. We worked on our dance for three hours straight until everyone started to complain so we stopped.

" Kagome, I would like to talk to you, alone," a guy said walking up to me pulling me out of the gym.

" What's up Trunks?" I questioned as we walked outside to get some air.

" I was watching you in there and I couldn't help but wonder why you didn't seem fazed by the pratice at all," he stated outloud as I sat on the step.

" Dancing is my life and I can't complain about it," I said as he shook his head.

" You remind me of someone I know at my work, her name is Kago Star, you know her?" he questioned as I stared at him dumbfoundedly. I heard someone clear their throat and I looked up to see Sesshomaru looking down at me.

" Hey, what are you doing here?" I questioned as he looked at Trunks jealously.

" Hey, I've seen you before to haven't I? You were hanging out with one of the generals at the CIA," he stated as I stood up.

" I guess you'll never find out now will you, Prince of the Sayjians?" I questioned as he smirked.

" I guess I won't," he said walking away as if nothing ever happened. I stood up and walked over to Sesshomaru.

" Hey, you alright?" I questioned.

" Fine," he stated walking away without another word. I was confused on why he was acting like this, then it hit me, he was jealous.

" Sess!" I called out to him but he was already out of sight as I fell to my knees. * What did I do?*

" Kagome?" I heard someone ask from behind me as I turned to see Yugi, my brothers wife.

" Hey," I said wiping some tears from my eye's.

" You want to go to the mall and talk about it?" she questioned, " I know how it feels."

" Sure," I said as I drove her to the mall where we went to the foor court.

" So, abot Sesshomaru, I've heard he found his love again and he was happy but just now he didn't look to happy," she stated taking a drink of her water.

" I think he thinks I was flirting with Trunks," I stated as she started to laugh.

" Trunks Brief? The man married to Pan?" she questioned as I nodded.

" He came when we were talking about work," I stated as I felt a short pain go through me.

" Hey, you alright?" she questioned and I shook it off as if it was nothing.

" Perfectly fine," I stated with a forced smile.

" I think that Sesshomaru has something stuck up his ass if he would think you would cheat on him, just think about it. I know you use to like Inu Yasha and look at where it got you now. You guys are best friends and Sesshomaru is jealous of him because he has been with you and he hasn't," she explained and I nodded.

" I understand, but how do you know all of this?" I questioned.

" Do you remember how I said I made a promise to protect your family?" she questioned as I nodded, " I was sent by your brothe Spike to make sure nothing bad happened to any of you, when I heard about your grandpa it almost killed me to know that I couldn't be there in time, all I could do was watch as Naraku pulled out the gun and shot. I wasn't in my demon form so I couldn't make it to his side in time so I hid, that's when I saw you and Sesshomaru coming andI fleed."

" Your a demon?" I questioned as she nodded.

" An Inu demon like you," she said with a smile.

" So I take it the reason you vanished for two years is because you went back to be with my brother because you knew everything would be alright here," I said as she nodded, " and I take it he told you all about Sesshomaru and I."

" Yes," she said as I felt the pain again.

" Well, it was nice talking to you but I really must be going if I am going to be making it home in time," I stated as she nodded.

" I'll call Spike to pick me up so don't worry about it," she said walking away. I walked to my car and started to drive home. It was almost sunset when I felt a massive wave of pain flow over me and I pulled off the road holding my heart. I looked up into the sky to see the full moon in the sky and I cursed locking my car running into the forest. I forgot that I wasn't in America anymore and the moon cycles were different. I looked don at my hands as they slowly and painfully became claws. I fell to my knees with a scream of pain holding my head. I felt two hands around my waist picking me up.

" I should have known you were going to come back when it was going to be a full moon, Inu Yasha said as I felt the needle in my arm. I whimpered as the pain intensified, " damn it, I got here too late!"

" Sure as hell you did," I stated as fangs grew into my mouth and I balled my hands into fists making my claws go into my hands releasing poison into them.

" Kagome you can't do that!" Inu Yasha yelled forceing my hands open.

" I don't care," I whispered as he stepped back.

" What? he questioned as I looked up with a tear stained face.

" I don't care if my own poison kills me, why should I live? I have nothing to live for," I stated falling to my knees.

" You have plenty to live for, think of your family, your friends, most of all think about my brother, you die and he'll be heart broken," he stated causing me to cry even more.

" Don't speak of what you don't know. Your brother is fucking jealous of Trunks, the camander at headquaters," I stated as he laughed.

" The one married to Pan?" he questioned.

" Yes, the one married to Pan, how many Trunk's are there?" I growled in pain.

" I'm not going to sit back and watch you die, you have to kill me first," he stated taking a fight stance as I did the same. I lundged at him but my claw was caught by something. It wasn't Inu Yasha but once I saw the markings I knew who it was.

Go away, Sesshomaru," I stated forcing my claw out of his.

" Inu Yasha, leave," he ordered and for once Inu Yasha obeyed. Sesshomaru turned me around so that my back was facing him and held me in a tight embrace as a wave on pain hit me causing my knees to give out. He sat down next to a tree with me still in his hold. I was about to ball my hands into fist again but there was an arm in the way and I grabbed it instead.

" Better me than you, my blood can fight it," he stated as I closed my eye's tightly. I leaned back into him as he tightened his hold on me. Tears streamed down my face as he licked them away leaving short kisses on my cheeks, " what is that stuff my brother injected into you?"

" The strongest pain killer ever made along with some stuff that disables my poison but he showed up too late. Either way it still hurts like hell," I stated as I felt the pain subside and I put my tail in my lap to keep me warm. I removed my claws from his arm and brought his arm to my lips.

" I'm sorry," I whispered licking the spilt blood on his arm and the wounds healed instantly.

" No need, I should be the one apoligizing to you for earlier, but I want to ask you something," he said as I turned sideways in his embrace so I could look him in the eyes. He placed a hand on my cheek and I leaned into his touch smiling.

" What is it?" I questioned as he brought out a ring and placed it on my left ring finger.

" I want you to marry me, what is your answer to this?" he questioned as I laid my head on his chest.

" I will," I said as he hugged me tighter.

" I love you," he said as I looked up and kissed him on the lips. He pushed me down against the ground kissing me passionately. We kissed for what seemed like forever before he pulled away, " we should get you home."

" Yes," I said as he helped me up. We walked to where my car was and he drove us back to the shrine. It was still night out when we got there so we crashed on the couch for the night. He laid behind me with his hands around my waist as we fell asleep. I woke up to the sound of someone gasping to see Kyo looking at me.

" What's wrong baby?" I questioned as he walked up to me.

" Mommy left me alone and I didn't know anybody was going to be here," he said walking up to me. I wrapped my tail around his waist and brought him to my chest.

" Have a bad dream?" I questioned as Sesshomaru woke up.

" What's going on?" he questioned looking down to see Kyo in my arms.

" It was when that evil man tried to kill you the last time you were here," he said sobbing as I rubbed his back.

" You'll be okay," I whispered as he snuggled into me and fell asleep.

" You'll make a good mother," Sesshomaru whispered from behind me kissing my neck.

" Thanks," I said falling asleep once again. Sesshomaru shifted his hands so they were around both of us and fell asleep instantly.
