Failing Masks and Pouring Rain Part 3:
Duty Calls
By Flame Shadow
*Ok……..once again it is really short. There was originally more to this chapter, but people were getting impatient so I just cut it very very short. But it is better than nothing.
Once again I don't own Inuyasha. But if I had enough money to buy them I would! Enjoy the fic.

Kagome's POV:
I was still trying to sleep when I felt him shift against my side. I tried to ignore it. But when I hand rested itself on my side I had to turn to towards him. A quick flash of shock passed on his face before it was replaced with love. He gently pushed the hair out of my face and I couldn't help but smile at him.
I sat up more and turned to face him fully. Just like the night before I reached out to touch his smooth face before pulling him down for a kiss. It started chaste but soon it became heated and passionate. I wanted nothing more than to sit there with him and continue the kiss forever but I knew that I had something to do. So I pulled back from him and we locked eyes.
I could tell that he understood what I needed to do. Together we stood and straightened our clothes out. Then he picked me up bridal style and we took off towards the village. As he ran I prepared myself for the explanation of a life time.

Sesshoumaru's POV:
I woke up once more and was pleased to see that she had remained. I would have been content laying there with her all day but my back protested to that idea with a sharp pain. I maybe a demon but even demons get a bit of back pain now and then. Trying not to wake her I shifted so that I was leaning against the tree. I looked around for a moment making sure that we were completely alone, before resting my hand on her side. I needed to have some physical contact with her. I was so caught up with the way she felt that I didn't realize she had woken up until she looked at me.
I was shocked for a moment before I looked into her eyes and saw unrequited love. She reached out and touched my face lightly, then she pulled me down for a kiss. When her lips meet mine it was chaste, until I applied force to it. I wanted her so badly that I almost took her right there and then.
To my disappointment she pushed back and stared at me. Her eyes told me all I needed to know. She had to go back to my brother. She had to find the shards of the shikkon jewel. It was here job. Even though the thought of her going back to my baka of a half brother, I knew that it was not under her control.
Inwardly I cringed at the thought of my soon to be mate anywhere near Inuyasha, but duty came first. I would go with her. I would protect her. I would make sure that no one dared harm or kill her.
I quickly picked her up and ran at full speed. The faster this ended the better.
Authors note:
I Promise that the next chapter will be much longer and it will be the reunion between Inuyasha and Kagome.
Any suggestions are more than welcome!!
