Disclaimer: Ha, I got one! I have captured a character from InuYasha. :Myoga yells: *squish*
Stupid bug, live with it! *evil laugh* first bug boy, next demon hottie
.
Note: Wow, talk about mixed emotions... I'm really glad to be back, but I had all this guilt from
being away for so long.. from this story AND reading others. But anyway, I went back and was
reading old reviews, an my earlier chapters (you people think you're confused! i know the
direction this thing is going, but I forgot about half of the little details I'd added in! what kindof a
authoress am I?!) *shrugs* Oh well, I'm back, and realizing why you all stuck with this fic for so
long... it felt like I hadn't written half of what I was reading, but I now know I wont ever consider
giving up on it again! so, enjoy, read on, and review! ~Bunny n_~

.
Seiko's eye's were wide as Naraku advanced on her. 'He want's me to what?...' She stood up
startled by his words and movement, but she lost the feeling in her legs again and tumbled into
the cave wall, her own blood smearing across the jagged rock as she went limp and slid to the
floor again.
.
The yokai grabbed her by her neck and lifted her from the ground, having her dangle before him.
"It wont do you any good to run human. You'll only end up back with me." He traced the curve
of her cheek with a claw as his gaze pierced her eyes. "You wouldn't want that, now would
you?..."
.
A deep, threatening growl echoed through the cave and his hand clenched more tightly around
her neck until a moment later when he noticed it wasn't her. Turning, annoyed, toward the cave's
entrance, he found that only a few away from him was a very angry yokai, ready for him in a
battle stance.
.
"Interesting that you should show up... Sesshomarou." Not waiting for the yokai to respond he
brought Seiko back to her feet and pulled him close to her, having her pressed up against his
chest. "Well no matter, you're just in time... I was having some fun with my little Pet." He
grinned at the yokai who seemed to get angrier with every move he made, then leaned in and
sealed his lips over Seiko's mouth once more.
.
Unable to pull away from him with his claws at the back of her throat and a firm hold on her
weakened body, she had to wait until he pulled back slight to turn her head away from him in
disgust. "Contaleshem yono gantaco." Her eye's narrowed into a glare as she faced him again,
flaring with rage and hate. But rather than the huntress trying a move like he thought,
Sesshomarou leapt at him with his claws already dripping of poison...

As Kagome drifted off, she seemed to become aware of all the noises in the depths of the trees
and her stomach churned from the feeling of unsteadiness. But was only upset more still when
she sensed a few shikon shards nearing. Her eyes opened from fear, and looked off into the
endless darkness. '..figures something like this would happen...'
.
The young miko held her breath as she heard the yokai stop only a few feet away from where she
was sitting up against the tree, hoping it wouldn't see her. But even in the dark, she could see it
turn and face her, coming even closer. "Kagome? What are you doing out here alone?"
.
"Kouga?"
.
***
.
InuYasha entered the inn room, only to pass through and leave again. His three other companions
stopped from eating the ramen Sango had just made and exchanged glances. Miroku was the only
to talk after the human Inu disappeared into the trees. "Is it just me, or do people seem t be going
off a lot lately?"
.
Shippou shrugged as he put his ramen bowl down and bounced off after InuYasha.
.
"See." Sango nodded in agreement with the monk then looked around the room. They were
alone... and a goofy grin formed on the hentai's face as he noticed the same thing she had.
.
***
.
InuYasha ran in the direction he had seen Kagome jet off in earlier that evening. It was hard for
him to keep his footing in the mud and see where he was going, but he was getting more worried
about the young miko the further he ventured into the dark woods, so he kept going.
.
After a while he slowed down some, noticing how he'd nearly trip over tree roots in the thick
mud. But he wound up slipping anyway, and fell face first into the soaked earth. Grabbing onto a
tree to pull himself up he heard something. "..ow..." But when InuYasha looked around, there
was nothing he could see through the darkness.. that was, until is eyes fell on the tree he'd pulled
himself up with... with a bushy tail!
.
"Last time I checked, trees didn't have tails." He folded his arms and watched as the tree
'poofed' back into Shippou.
.
"Where were you going?"
.
InuYasha picked the kitsune up by his tail. "Why were you following me?"
.
Shippou folded his arms as he dangled in InuYasha's hold. "Answer the question, I asked first."
.
"Feh."
.
.
After that response Shippou maneuvered himself to hold onto InuYasha's arm and bit down on it,
having him release his tail as he landed nicely on the soft earth. "Well, if you were looking for
Kagome you're headed the wrong way."
.
InuYasha folded his arms. "Am not."
.
"Are too."
.
"Am not. But how would you know anyway?"
.
"Yes you are. I was following you, but her scent went off to the east after a while. She was
probably trying to find her way back..."
.
"So why didn't you go find her, brat?!"
.
Shippou thought for a moment, then shrugged. "Hey, I was following after you... I didn't know
you were looking for Kagome, and even since you are, it's no surprise you didn't follow her path
right..."
.
InuYasha's eye brow began to twitch, but he knew it was true... that's the whole reason he'd
hesitated going after her in the first place. "East eh?"
.
Shippou puffed out is chest with importance. "Yup. Better follow me though, I'm guessing you'll
get lost too with this fog starting up..."
.
"Fog?"
.
***
.
Naraku had shoved the weakened huntress to the floor as he dodged the slashes from
Sesshomarou's claws. Inwardly laughing at the yokai's anger, and the expression on Seiko's face
as he slashed him across his chest with miasma at his fingertips.
.
They had only been fighting for a few minutes but Sesshomarou was already ready to retreat,
needing to heal the wound he'd just gotten moments before, and to make sure his mate was goign
to be alright. He didn't like the idea of another having his hands on her... but now was not the
best of times to vent his anger, he would return for Naraku later, but right then he needed to
attend to other pressing matters.
.
Sesshomarou moved quickly as he faked an attack at the demon, rolling over Naraku's back to
reach Seiko, then jetting out of the cave with her in his arms... 'Naraku will regret the day he laid
his lips on my mate...'
.
.
***
.
"So, you got mad at Dog-boy when he didn't notice the kitsune was gone and wouldn't help you
go look for him?" Kouga retraced what Kagome had told him about why she was all alone at
night in the woods.
.
"Yeah, and I tried to find my way back to where we were staying, but it's too dark and I was
gonna wait it out until morning and could see better." Kagome sighed, leaning back against the
tree. Kouga wasn't exactly the first person to come to mind in who she'd want to have show up
randomly, but it was better than being alone...or stuck with someone who was out to kill her.
.
The wolf yokai sat down in front of her, sinking his fit into the muddy ground. "Kagome, if he
ever pulls something like this again, I'll kill him. I don't want him hurting my woman like this."
.
Kagome sweatdropped and pulled her hand back as he went to hold it. 'Does he HAVE to talk
about me like I'm his, and not here...' "Uh, that's ok Kouga, I'm sure it wont...er... happen
again."
.
Just then Kagome heard the branches cracking and foodsteps in the thick mud somewhere off
behind her, and from the way Kouga got up and looked off that direction, he noticed too. "Don't
worry about Kagome, I'll take care of it."
.
Kagome sighed as she watched his dark form move toward whatever was coming '...well that's
inspiring...' But she perked up when she heard a familiar squeal of happiness dart past Kouga and
into her arms. "Shippou-chan! You're ok, I was worried about you..."
.
"Yeah, Inuyasha found me... then e went off looking for you but I had to lead him..." The kitsune
gave into her hug and kept babbling but pulled back as he noticed her loosen her hold and skip a
breath.
.
"But if you brought InuYasha, and it's still the New moon... and Kouga is... Oh no."
.

Ok, I originally planned to make this chappy go up to another point (just a little further) but I
wanted to get this posted before it got too late in the day and not many people would notice it
was updated again... Anyway, please review, I'll post again soon to resolve this half/way cliffy...
