Death Alley Chapter 3 A/N: Yup I'm re-writing everything from chapter 2 and on...nobody's going to bother reviewing it I guess, but I'll give it another go. Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha...word...there I said it.

Kagome shrieked as Sesshomaru enclosed himself and Kagome in an aura of energy, impenetrable to all those outside of it. He advanced on Kagome, his hand outstretched.

"Give me the jewel, if you wish to live to see your next birthday." He threatened.

"N-no..." Kagome whimpered, not having her bow with her, which rendered her, helpless.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled from above. They both looked up expectantly to see Inuyasha coming down upon them, with the Tessaiga in its full form. The blade met with the top of the sphere, but deflected the blow entirely and sent him flying. He fell in a heap somewhere next to Kagome.

"Well...that was...easy." Sesshomaru observed, throwing a glance towards his half brother, who seemed 'unconscious'. He returned a glare in Kagome's direction..but...sighed.

"I'll ask you once more. Hand over the jewel." He continued.

"No!" Kagome defended. At the moment that Kagome had thrown that interjection, something 'unnatural' happened. The aura had disintegrated and something was pulling Sesshomaru away from Kagome. Some special 'force'.

"What is this devilry? What are you doing to me?" He yelled.

"Master!" Jaken called, running after him. Sesshomaru broke free and picked Jaken up by the scruff of his collar.

"We're going." Sesshomaru said, as he and his toad-like servant disappeared.

Kagome stared...what had happened? What ever it was Sesshomaru broke free and left. Something here was driving him back.

"Mmm....Sess-sesshomaru..." Inuyasha groaned from his corner, picking himself up.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, running towards him and pulling him on her lap, and stroking his hair.

"Ka-KAGOME!" He yelled, sprining into an upright position. "HOW DARE YOU?" "What?" Kagome asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"No touching of the hair!" Inuyasha replied angrily, self-consciously stroking his hair.

"Well so much for being COMFORTING!" Kagome protested.

The others came towards them, and saw them bickering, as usual of course.

"They always do this..." Sango sighed, Miroku reached to touch her shoulder.

"Let's get going!" Shippo piped up, interrupting Kagome and Inuyasha's fighting and Sango and Miroku's tender moment. Sota pressed himself close to Kagome, trembling in fear.

"Sota, you shouldn't have run off." Kagome scolded, distracting herself from Inuyasha who was being a pain in the ass that the moment.

"Kagome...I want to go home now!" Sota didn't even bother apologizing, but he cried his eyes out.

"There, there young lad." Sango cooed, leaning down, forgetting Miroku was behind her, and patted his head.

Miroku stared at her butt.

Sango felt a pang of realization hit her and then she realized. She whipped around and saw Miroku stare.

SLAP! The shrill sound of her hand met his face.

"Owies..." Miroku moaned, using a small childish word to express the sudden pang of pain he received from the furious Sango. Sango turned away, going a deep shade of red.

"Let's go..."Kagome finally repeated, ending their feud. She picked Sota up and led the way back to her place.

TBC... Yeah, yeah...I'm giving it another go. If I get any reviews I'll go on...thanks to my first reviewer and friend. It is well appreciated
