Chapter 3: Sesshoumaru Arrives

Inuyasha brandished Tetsusaiga and glared angrily at his half-brother, his fangs gritted against each other.

There was an uneasy silence, as Sesshoumaru looked them all over. He stopped when he saw Kagome, and his eyes narrowed to a glare.

Inuyasha spotted the glare and started to ease in front of the girl some more, hoping to catch his brother's attention.

Sesshoumaru never shifted his gaze though. "Give it here girl. That bauble is nothing a mortal should possess."

Kagome tightened her hold on the orb, and Inuyasha's gaze shifted to her clasped hands for a brief moment. He raised an eyebrow slightly as he turned back to his brother.

Sesshoumaru had one hand outstretched, waiting. Inuyasha waited for him to strike, and take it from her, but no one moved an inch.

Kagome inched slowly behind Inuyasha, keeping her eyes on Sesshoumaru the entire time.

"Foolish mortal." Sesshoumaru lowered his arm and had taken off before Inuyasha had time to react.

Kagome screeched and ducked out of the way just in time, calling Inuyasha's command so that Sesshoumaru's strike missed him as well.

Sesshoumaru glared and attempted to run his hand through her on the ground. But Kagome screamed again and rolled out of the way.

Inuyasha jumped beside her and scooped her up, calling orders to Sango and Miroku below.

"Stand back!" They jumped back, hands still on their weapons. Shippo had a few acorns out, ready to perform a trick if he would simply stop shaking.

Sesshoumaru watched as Inuyasha placed Kagome on the ground and charged him.

"Fool." Sesshoumaru mumbled before he charged at Inuyasha as well.

Their swords met briefly before Sesshoumaru jumped up and over him, heading towards Kagome again.

"Kagome~!!!!!" Inuyasha called, racing toward her as well.

She caught the words but didn't have time to move.

"Die, human."
