Chapter 7

Inu Yasha walked silently ahead of the group of friends. Why did his brother hafta come anyway? But more importantly, why did he want to come? The Half demon had been contemplating this for hours. Blocking out all his followers and not hearing their endless chatter. He was concentrating on his brother's moves.and trying hard to keep the scent of that bastard Naraku. Rest assured, he would find him, and rip his miniature heart out of his swollen demon flesh. Inu Yasha stared blankly at ground, quietly treading on the soft earth, with his ears perked up to hear surrounding enemies. After walking in silent thought for quite a while, Inu Yasha perked up and listened. To silence. Nothing in these woods was making a sound. The animals, if any, dared not to talk. And the trees didn't whisper with even the slightest breeze. Dead leaves hung from the branches like souls to Hades. The familiar blood scent filled the air and made it damp and humid. Nothing moved. 'This is it, Naraku's lair." Inu Yasha turned around to warn the others to watch their backs and stick with him.but.when he turned around, there was nobody there. He sighed loudly, sending a howl through the forest. He leaped up into the dead, wistful trees and began heading back along the trail.

Finally after backtracking about 7 miles, he found the travelers.sitting around.laughing..and talking.Miroku and Sango were talking, or actually Sango was beating him over the head with Kagome's pan. Shippo was sleeping. There was nothing out of the usual. But.Kagome and Sesshoumaru were talking...laughing. 'How can she be so happy.when she's dying?' Inu Yasha thought to himself. Then it hit him.she was laughing and talking with his twisted brother! Before they could say one more word he was down there, between them. Kagome blankly stared up at him as if nothing was wrong. Like they hadn't abandoned him, and she wasn't talking with his rival. Sesshoumaru on the other hand, gave Inu Yasha a sly grin, his eyes flashing, showing Inu Yasha competition.

The half demon couldn't take his brother attempting to take Kagome away. He grabbed his brother's collar and dragged him out into the forest. "What do you think you're doing, half-breed? Don't touch me!" Sesshoumaru growled.

"What do you think you're doing with Kagome? Are trying to make me kill you? Why did you even come with us?" Inu Yasha roared back.

"I came because the girl had strength. Although she is just a human.she possesses a power greater than any demon I've ever seen. On top of that, she's more beautiful than any girl I've ever seen. She would make me a lovely mate, that is if we can heal her."

"She's mine. Don't you dare try to take her."

"You would be surprised what she has to say about you. She knows that all you see in her is your Kikyo! Kagome realizes that you would never see her as anything more than an object to help you get your jewel so you can become a demon! You are so selfish. She thought you might be something more, but you proved how you feel when she told you she was going to die. That settles it." Sesshoumaru calmly replied.

"If you touch her, I swear to all the Gods, I will send you to hell!" He yelled back.

"Don't waste your breath, little brother." The demon said as he walked back towards the camp.
