here you go.. Enjoy.

Kagome found that when she woke up, there was someone standing near her.
She opened her eyes and looked around to find the man from her nightmares staring her in the face.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!" she screamed before she could stop herelf.
"Shut up wench, or i'll kill you now." he hissed.
She stopped, giving him a puzzled look.
"What do you want with me, Naraku?" she asked warily.
"I want your shards. and i want the other shards as well." he stated calmly.
"No." she said defiantly, looking up at the demon with a glare.
"you will give them to me, or i will kill you." he loomed over her menacingly.
She stared up at him for what seemed like eternity. then, she did something that surprised her, She laughed.
"You think that i care?" she asked, holding her arms wide. "It would be a pleasure."
Naraku was taken aback with the Miko's brazen death wish.
No, he would not fulfill her wish, but he would take her soul.
He mentally called to Kanna.
"Kagome!" a distant scream filled the air, bouncing off of trees and making it sound like they were surrounded.
Inuyasha was racing across tree branches toward the origin of the sound.
"Over here!" came a call.
Kagome laughed at Naraku, Kouga was coming.
The trees were shaking, and the shaking was coming closer.
Suddenly kagome saw a white streak and Naraku was on the ground.
A white haired boy was on top of him, pummeling his fists into the youkai's face almost faster than the human eye could see.
When the dark haired demon lay unmoving, the white haired boy stopped.
Finally, he turned to her and she caught a glimpse of his face.
Then, her mind was lost in memory, and her body collapsed.
When she came back to herself, she was on a dirt floor, in what felt like a cave.
Someone was yelling, make that two someones.
She had to concentrate to make any sense of what they were saying.
"...It's your fault.....Got have....." This was a voice that she recognized as Inuyasha's
"........Is not..........Yours.........Shouldn't have..." this was Kouga.
She tried to force her eyes open, but the light was too blinding, even in the cave, to keep them open for long, so she closed them and pushed herself up to a half sitting position.
At the slightly muffled sound of clothing, the two demons stopped their arguing, and Kagome felt two pairs of strong, clawed hands helping her up and over to the wall.
When she felt that she could see, she opened her eyes again, and although the light was still verry bright, she could see.
She looked at Kouga's face, studied the worry lines and old scars, the worn eyes, and the tenderness as he looked at her.
then, she looked at Inuyasha. The love she had forgotten.
He was still as she had seen him last. Two very faint scars on his right cheek, large golden orbs, a tortured soul behind them.
Kagome let her eyes travel down to the place where his kimono top met low on his chest, right above where Sesshomaru had shoved his fis through his chest.
Inuyasha looked at her with concern, as she studied him.
She looked like she was in physical pain.
Then her features changed suddenly and she was wrapped around his weist.
He put his arms around her neck, entwining his fingers in her silk black hair.
They stood like that for awhile, before Kouga cleared his throat.
They pulled apart, tears streaming on kagome's face, and Inuyasha's eyes were full.
"I'm so glad that you are here." she said, unable to keep the emotion out of her voice.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha said, leaving whatever he was going to say off.
"Kagome, Inuyasha, i'm glad that you have found eachother again." Kouga said, his voice flat, his face betraying no emotion at all.
"Kouga..."
"use my cave for tonight, i'm going to sleep outside under the stars." he said, slowly, and walked out, his tail dragging the ground.
"Inuyasha.." Kagome looked up at Inuyasha.
"I know, Kagome, but it's not your fault." he said, slowly, and followed Kouga outside.
Soon, the sun was lowering in the sky and Kagome was attempting to get up, but it seemed that her legs didn't want to work.
She had been alone since Inuyasha had followed Kouga out the door at around noon.
She pushed herself up the wall and tried to take a step and fell on her face.
While she was trying to pick herself up, she felt a pair of strong arms grab her around the waist and lift her into the air and set her down against the wall like before.
When she looked up at whoever had helped pick her up, she found that it was neither Kouga nor Inuyasha, but Sesshomaru that had helped her.
She narrowed her eyes at him, immediately suspicious.
"Sesshomaru?" she asked.
"Kagome, i am glad you are safe. i have things to speak to you about, and i need your say to take you out of the cave." he said, actually sounding like he was asking her permission
She nodded, and tried to push herself up, and found that she couldn't.
He shook his head, and picked her up, bridal style, and walked out of the cave and into the blood red light of sunset.
He jumped into the air, making her clutch at his robes.
Soon they set down in a small clearing.
He sat Kagome on a large flat rock, and sat down beside her.
"Kagome, I have to tell you something. Inuyasha laid with Kikyou, when he thought you were dead. She left him, and i found him, waiting for her. I had caught rumer that you were alive, and in my curiosity, i came and found that it was true. I found my brother, and brought him here. It seems that noone but me and naraku knew that the both of you were alive."
"Why are you telling me this, Sesshomaru?" she asked, confused that he was treating her with respect.
"Because you deserve to know." he stated simply.
"Why did you bring Inuyasha here?" she asked the question that he had known that she would ask.
"Because, although my idiot Hanyou brother is in love with a worthless human, i think that a live human is better than a dead one. because i find that you are worthy of my brother." he said, looking away at the stream.
Kagome let this sink in, then looked at him squarely in the eyes. "You love Rin, Dont you?" she said, softly.
When he looked at her, his eyes wide and emotions swimming through them, she knew her answer.
She placed her arm around his shoulders, and pulled him into a light embrace.
"See, you do have a heart after all." She chuckled.
Kouga came bursting through the trees at exactly that moment.
Skidding to a stop, he took in the scene, felt a slight tinge of jealously, then he blutred out the problem:"Kanna is here, and she took Inuyasha's soul..." he blurted out.
"No.."
