Authors Notes: Ok first of all I want to thank: Dough Monkey and Moochy the Moocher for their reviews. I will continue to write chapters as long as people are happy with my story. Chapter three will be graphic with the battles and I am sorry but I like detail in stories so that's how I write.

Disclaimer: I keep forgetting this but it is obvious I don't own Inu- Yasha. ________________________________________________________________________

Miroku was furious at Inu-Yasha for being upset with Sango, it wasn't her fault for Kagome's capture. With all his the courage he mustered he stood to face Inu-Yasha. "Inu-Yasha at least Sango was here, at least she fought for Kagome! Where were you huh, with me and we did NOTHING!"

Inu-Yasha was surprised at the monks' tone he had never confronted him with so much anger. "Feh I'll find her myself, they can't be far." With that Inu- Yasha started to try and find Shesso-maru's scent. A sudden fear leapt into his eyes. There was Shesso-maru right behind Miroku. Kagome was hurled into the clearing hard, Inu-Yasha dove to catch her while at the same time unsheathed Tetsusaiga. With Kagome in his one arm a swift kick was placed straight across Miroku's face, sending blood and Miroku flying, causing him to narrowly avoid Shesso-maru's energy whip. he placed Kagome by the injured Sango and the dazed Miroku who had blood trickling down his face, the salty smell filling both Inu-Yasha's and Shesso-maru's noses. While Inu- Yasha's back is turned a quick snap of an energy whip across Inu-Yasha's back causes him to moan in pain.

"You cheap Bastard Shesso-maru, I'll kill you for what you have done to my friends!" Inu-Yasha's eyes burned with a fire, a passion, a hate.

"What you going to do little brother we both know you are no match for me!" A small chuckle emits from his lips as Inu-yasha leaps at him, swinging Tetsusaiga with all his force, barely missing Shesso-maru's head.

With his great speed Shesso-maru dodged and countered with a swift blow of his fist, his claws digging dip in to Inu-Yasha's stomach. "Do you feel that brother, that is me crushing you, can you feel the burning of your flesh, the smell of your blood. You were mistaken you are the one who dies today and Tetsusaiga will be mine!"

"Over my dead body!" Inu-Yasha lands a hard kick into Shesso-maru's stomach sending him sprawling backwards.

"You have grown stronger Inu-Yasha but you still can not defeat me!"

"We shall see about that." Inu-Yasha twirls the fang of his father with great ease as he jumps towards Shesso-maru once more. His attack is blocked by Shesso-maru's energy whip. A quick counter punch connects solidly to Inu- Yasha's head sending him to the ground, struggling to get up.

"Let see what one of your friend dies first, how to decide? Ah this one looks ready to die, as he points to Kagome. While walking towards Kagome Miroku stands up, dazed but with his heart set on protecting both Sango and Kagome.

"I will not let you harm either one of them!" Voice strong for some reason there is no fear.

"Get out of my way mortal, or die!" An evil light shining in his eyes, wanting him to fight, wanting an excuse to kill him.

"Shesso-maru don't you dare touch any of them your fight is with me!" Inu- Yasha was still struggling to get up, blood dripping from the wound in his chest to fall and cover the rich soil on the ground.

"So true my little brother, you are my only reason here but these so called friends of yours are just sport to me." With that a fist is buried into Miroku's stomach shattering his staff as his fist passes through the defensive block the monk used. Shesso-maru now tossed the now unconscious Miroku to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, tracing a red line down his lip to his cheek. With a single flick of his wrist his energy whip is shot towards Kagome.

Inu-Yahsa scrambles to his feet and runs towards Kagome screaming her name. "KAGOME!" He dives towards her, trying to cover her from the whip, just as the whip comes down he reaches her. For a second none knew what happened, Kagome lay in shock, did Shesso-maru hit her, she seemed fine. Inu-Yasha hit the ground hard, blood pouring from a gash in his cheek, Tetsusaiga falls loosely from his hand.

"You fool Inu-Yasha putting yourself in danger for this useless human girl who reminds you of Kikyo. Don't make me laugh." He walks towards Tetsusaiga almost ready to pick it up, when he is struck by Inu-Yasha.

"Iron Reaver Sole Stealer!" The slash ripping in to Shesso-maru's flesh, causing his blood spilling forth.

"You little whelp you'll die for this." Shesso-maru barked as he went on an all frontal assault. The energy whip lashing into Inu-Yasha's legs and arms. "Die you little Bastard!" Tearing bits of flesh from Inu-Yasha with his claws. Blood covering the ground all around him, pouring from every opening in his body. The blood stained ground surrounded them. Shesso-maru stood up wiping the blood onto his clothing, picking flesh from his claws. As Shesso-maru reached down to take what was left of Inu-Yasha's life he was struck hard in the head by Sango's bone boomerang. Infuriated he charged Sango only to hear: "Leave them be!" With the last of his strength Inu-Yasha swung Tetsusaiga striking Shesso-maru's open back causing his red blood to poor out from his back, he screamed in agony as he reached to his back to find a huge gash oozing his blood.

With incredible pain Shesso-maru jumped into the sky. "I will have fathers sword and I will kill you, you will die I swear it!"
