Disclaimer: Ok here's goes the normal routine. (Takes a big breath in and says sadly) I don't own Inuyasha

Hey everybody its Fluffys gurl here. Well chapter 3 is up. Sorry its taking so long please forgive me! Well I have had a lot of help from Random Kyuubi. Ok well here is the story hopes you like it! Please review I need them to continue my stories. They mean so much to me sniffs Ok, to the story.

CHAPTER 3-- The Answer

It was early in the morning. The sun was about to start rising. There was mist in the distance. Kagome just woke up. Kagome, Sango, Kaede, Miroku and Shippo sat in a circle inside of Kaedes hut ready to hear Kagome's story.

"Kagome, if it is too painful to tell, we understand." Miroku said with a soothing voice. "No, its ok Miroku, I mean, I acted like Inuyasha was my boyfriend or something." Kagome said as she looked down. "Kagome, your acting like it was your fault Inuyasha left." Sango replied. "But it is. If I was better than Kikyo, by looks and by power, Inuyasha wouldn't have left me. But the worst part isn't that he left me for Kikyo. It's that he would rather love something that isn't real. I mean I know Inuyasha once loved Kikyo, but she isn't alive anymore! Why can't he see that it really isn't her." Kagome's eyes started to water. "Kikyo gave her life so the Shikon No Tama would stay pure! Why is Kikyo being so evil now? INUYASHA WHY CAN'T YOU SEE IT ISN'T THE REAL KIKYO!!!!

Now Kagome was crying. Sango wrapped her in a warm sisterly embrace. "Don't worry Kagome, everything will be alright." Sango said soothingly. Kagome dried up her tears. "I just need to be alone for awhile. I'm going to the hot springs, I'll be back soon." She said quietly. "Kagome, are you going to be alright?" Miroku asked worriedly. "Yes I'll be fine." Kagome reassured him. Kagome gathered her supplies and she was ready to walk out the door.

"Kagome, you should take a weapon in case anything happens." Sango warned. "Take your bow and arrows Kagome." Kaede said. "I will. Jeez!! Kagome said irritably. (God, do they think I can't take care of myself?) Kagome mentally sighed. (They're just worried about me.) Kagome thought as she walked out of the hut towards the Hot springs with her bathing things under her arm and her bow and arrows on her back.

"Mood swings, so pleasant aren't they?" Miroku said a bit sarcastically. "Miroku, shut up. She's having such a hard time right now." Sango said to Miroku. "Sorry Sango." Miroku replied. "Miroku, Sango, Shippo, will you go gather some firewood for me?" Kaede asked. "Of course we will Kaede." Shippo said brightly. "Thank you young ones." Kaede replied a bit wearily as they stepped out of the hut. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo walked beside each other, looking along the ground for sticks, but they didn't know they were being watched.

"Ok Kikyo, let's go. Kagome and the others have left, now we can talk to Kaede." Inuyasha said to Kikyo. "Inuyasha, let me talk to her. You stay out here and watch for anyone who comes by." "Alright Kikyo, but hurry." Inuyasha grumbled as he hopped into a tree in front of the hut and watched over Kikyo.

Kikyo slowly approached Kaede's hut. She didn't know if Kaede would turn them away again or not. Kikyo pushed the flap aside and entered the hut. Kaede looked up from the herb medicine she was making. Kikyo walked up to Kaede and sat down next to her.

"So Kaede, we meet again." Kaede placed the Medicine on the floor next to her and looked up at Kikyo. "Why are you here Kikyo?" Kaede asked. "I think you know why I'm here." Kikyo replied. "Well, I think it was pointless for you to come here again." Kaede said.

"Little sister, I've longed to be with Inuyasha, and now I am. Will you honor your elder sister and help Inuyasha and I in our time of need?" Kikyo asked. "You have longed to be with Inuyasha, but does Inuyasha long to be with you Kikyo? You are no longer the older sweet sister I had. You are not the same person Inuyasha fell in love with." "Don't change the subject little sister! Will you or will you not honor us?" Kikyo's temper was rising now.

"No I shall not. Kikyo you are not the same. You need not to linger any longer. You are just a angry sprit in a clay body that took my older sisters form from over 50 years ago." Kaede took in a deep breath then sighed. "For the living time goes on. For every passing moment time shapes the life of the living. For the dead time holds still, like a memory they try to hold on to forever. Leave now, and never return." Kaede said sternly. "We shall meet again little sister." Those were Kikyo's final words to Kaede as she got up and left the hut.

Kikyo walked outside of the hut. "Inuyasha, show yourself." Kikyo called out. Inuyasha jumped out of the tree in front of her. "Did your talk with Kaede go well?" Inuyasha asked. "No." was all Kikyo said. She turned around and started walking away from Kaedes hut. Inuyasha followed her.

Back to Kagome

"Ahh, this is more like it. Nice hot water." Kagome sighed. "This will be great to relax in." Kagome got undressed and placed her clothes, along with her bow and arrows at the water's edge. She gathered her shampoo and soaps and slowly got in.(This feels so good, its so relaxing.) Kagome closed her eyes and began to doze off slightly.

To Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru was flying on his twin-headed dragon, to his castle. "Jaken, how far are we from the castle?" "Well, we're flying over Inuyasha's forest right now Lord Sesshoumaru." Jaken replied. Sesshoumaru looked down.( Is that Kagome in those hot springs?) He thought. His heart started beating slightly faster at that thought. ( I should approach her and see if she is ready to answer my proposal.) "Jaken, lower us down to those hot springs." Sesshoumaru commanded.

"But why Lord Sesshoumaru?" Jaken asked. "Don't question me Jaken." Sesshoumaru replied. "My apologies Lord Sesshoumaru." Jaken said a little fearfully. Jaken lowered them down to the Hot Springs. "Lord Sesshoumaru, that wench is in the Hot Springs. Why do you want to go near it?" Jaken asked. "Didn't I tell you not to question me? Go back to the castle and take care of Rin. I will be back at the castle before noon." Sesshoumaru told him.

"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken said quickly before scurrying back to the dragon and heading for the castle. Jaken was worried though. (What would Lord Sesshoumaru want with that human? I still don't know why in the seven hells Lord Sesshoumaru took that human brat into his home.) Jaken pondered this while he made his way back to the Western Lands.

Sesshoumaru approached the Hot Springs and slowly got undressed and slipped in. He studied Kagome for a moment, who was lightly snoozing. She really was very pretty. Her long black hair, her beautiful unmarred face, and her soft pink lips that looked very kissable at the moment. His eyes traveled downward to her breasts. Two perfect, milky white orbs.( Why does that girl have this kind of affect on me?) Sesshoumaru thought as he looked down at his growing erection.

( Someone got in the water, should I open my eyes? I sense a demon, and my bow is too far away for me to do anything!) Kagome thought as she started to panic. (I sense the girl is panicking. I guess she knows I'm here.) Sesshoumaru started to talk. "Kagome, have you thought about my deal?" asked Sesshoumaru.

( Sesshoumaru? What's he doing here? I guess I should answer him. I'll ask questions later.) Kagome thought as she opened her eyes.

Kagome thought about Inuyasha and how he betrayed her. (The only way I will be able to defeat Inuyasha is to get training from somebody Inuyasha is unable to kill.) Kagome pondered this thought in her mind for a few seconds then said her answer. "Yes, I've thought about your deal, and I will accept." Kagome answered. "Good. Get dressed and we'll leave for your training." Kagome just sat there, not moving or replying. "Why don't you get moving girl?" Sesshoumaru asked impatiently. "Your not going to watch me, are you?" Kagome asked. "I, the great Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands, watch you? The thought of it makes me sick."

( You're lying.) A little voice in his head said.(Shut up.) He mentally growled to the voice. Sesshoumaru then got out of the water and turned his head away from Kagome. Kagome quickly got out and dressed. ( I wonder if he knows he's naked. He does have a really nice ass though.) Kagome blushed and turned her head away. ( I shouldn't be looking.) But she looked back anyway. (His muscles are so well toned. He has a way better build than Inuyasha. Wow........ I wonder how he got his arm back?
