Ch. 4 Inuyasha's Arrival
Inuyasha watched Kagome and wondered why they decided to go. So, the little girl invited them to stay but he had a feeling something was up. His brother must be plotting something.
"Inuyasha I doubt he would want to kill you." Kagome reasoned.
"I don't know about that." Sango said. Shippou nodded from atop Sango's shoulders.
"And I agree, I think we should be very cautious." Miroku added. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Besides, wouldn't he just come over here to kill Inuyasha. I mean that's what he always did and the last time he was about to but was stopped by Toutousai. So maybe he'll come here to finish where he left off. It wouldn't be hard to find him because you could just smell him a mile away." Chirped Shippou. Soon he was on the floor with stars twirling around his head by Inuyasha's fist. Everyone shook their heads.
"He never learns." Commented Miroku.
Kagome yawned. "Well I'm tired. I'm going to sleep." She muttered and went over to her sleeping bag. Shippou came out of his daze and bounded over to Kagome for protection.
Later that night Maeko couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned. It wasn't as if she needed it. Youkai didn't have to sleep all the time due to the fact they didn't tire so easily. She got up and decided to take a walk around the grand castle. She was roaming the halls when she heard running water. She wondered where that was from so she walked on to see a bathroom, which was made of a natural spring. Nice, she thought. She walked over to it and dipped her toes in. Then she was about to sit down when she saw a head rise with silver hair. She soon saw the back of Sesshoumaru. She almost blushed. She was going to leave so she wouldn't intrude.
"What are you doing up." He said.
"Couldn't sleep and when did youkai have to sleep all the time anyway." She simply stated
"Taking a bath sometimes helps."
"Are you trying to imply something?" She questioned. He gave her a blank stare and she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She sat down on the tile. "I think I'll just sit here." She said. She swung her legs gracefully in the warm water. She watched the water swirl about in large circles. She could feel Sesshoumaru's gaze on her. "Well?" she questioned. "Why are you starring at me." She demanded.
"I don't need a reason." He smirked. She rolled her eyes and got up maybe fresh air would help instead of this spring she thought. She walked over to the towels and dried herself off. She decided to go outside to the garden. She could hear him get out of the water and grab a towel. She walked out of the room, down the corridors, and over to the side doors and opened it to the early morning mist rolling in from the forest. She felt a chill run down her spine as she began walking towards the gardens. She looked up to the white moon and could tell the sun was about to rise. She saw the roses swaying in the cool breeze and their sweet smell permeating the area. She sat down on the bench and listened to the birds chirping. Her sixth sense pricked her suddenly and she had the eerie feeling someone was watching her. She looked all around but she saw no one.
Naraku was watching her from the safety of his castle. She mesmerized him. The full moon made her hair glow in the night. He knew right then what he was going to do with her. He then heard a cold laugh echo in the hall.
"So Naraku have you finally found another to dote upon." Kikyou said with disdain. He ignored her but she pressed on. "I say she doesn't have the makings to be your mate. She doesn't seem like the type to pull insidious plots on anyone. Almost angelic wouldn't you say?" she mocked.
"Shut up Kikyou." He growled. He waved his hand and the image faded away. "What do you want." He demanded.
"I came to see if you made any progress in killing Inuyasha. I can see you haven't and I would have better luck in killing him myself than you." She smirked.
"Be patient Kikyou, he will fall right into my plans soon enough."

Inuyasha grumbled as he walked beside Kagome on her bike. "Kagome, are you sure we should go?" he asked.
"Yes, I think maybe he's trying to make amends. Don't you?"
"Yeah right, Sesshoumaru make amends that'll be the day." He scoffed. They finally reached past the plains to the forest surrounding Sesshoumaru's castle.
"Look, there's a path." Miroku pointed out. Everyone walked in with caution, not knowing what was hidden within this forest. "By the looks of it, we should be at Sesshoumaru's by tomorrow morning. They traveled into the silent forest. They reached a break and came upon a small village found in the heart of it. They walked up to a beautiful young woman to ask about their Lord.
"Well we've never really seen him but he does protect us well." She praised. "Are you going to visit him. That would be such an honor."
"I suppose you can say that." Sango said.
"We could stay the night in this village, Inuyasha." Miroku added.
"Yeah so you do palm readings to the local village girls." Sango said giving Miroku an accusing look.
"Hey that's an honest living!"
She rolled her eyes. "Please spare me." She said. They walked on down the path for the rest of the day covering many miles. Kagome saw a flowing river and decided to stop there for the night. She brought out her pot and ramen noodles for the group. It hit her then with a sudden force. She could sense the shikon shard was near. It was the last shard and they needed it before Naraku finished the shikon no tama. Who knew what evil he would unleash with the completed jewel.
Sesshoumaru walked over to his balcony and watched the moon from his balcony. Something was tugging at him but he couldn't quite catch it. He gave up and he returned to his bed to lie down. Soon his eyelids began to feel heavy and he fell into a light doze dismissing it entirely.
Early that morning Maeko went outside to practice with her katana. She felt the sweat on her forehead slide down her cheeks. She swung the blade with exact precision and cut the fruit in half then again and again. She swung her blade gracefully into combinations of swing. She continued her practice when she heard Rin calling. She finished up and went to see Rin. She went to her chambers and washed up. She had a feeling someone was coming to visit. Sesshoumaru awoke to see Maeko standing in the doorway.
"Bout time you awoke." She smiled. "They will be here soon." He got up and but the rest of his armor on and walked over to her. She nodded and they both went down the corridor to the stair well then down to the entrance and waited. They saw Rin waiting patiently with the grumbling Jaken. A servant went up to Sesshoumaru. "Your guests are arriving. They will be here in five minutes." He nodded and watched the servant walk away to prepare for the feast.
"Sesshoumaru who is it that's coming besides Kagome?" questioned Maeko.
"My half brother, a priest, a youkai exterminator, a young kitsune,
and a cat youkai."
"Interesting group they have." She replied. Sesshoumaru could sense them close by and opened the large doors so he could go out and welcome them to his castle.
