A/N: So, so, sorry I haven't written for awhile. Been really busy with the holidays and all...I have my next few chapters planned out, but I have yet to write them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*A Walk in the Woods~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A strip of sun ran across his face, waking him from his sleep. He groaned and rolled over, but it was too late. A robin had caught his ear and it's relentless chirping was keeping him from dazing back to sleep.
Sessho-maru rolled onto his back and stretched. Today was the day! He was going to see Inuyasha! He hadn't seen his little brother for nearly 3 months. He left after a huge fight him and his sibling had had over their father's death. Then when father had decided to hide his grave in the half- demon's eye and not his own, his pure blood eye, that was the last straw. But after his absence he figured it really didn't matter. Inuyasha was his brother, and he shouldn't let a little thing like that stand in the way of years of brotherly bonding.
He stood up and let his snowy hair cascade over his bare back. He quietly padded out of the room, slinging his bag over his shoulder and he left. With a glance in the caretaker's room, he slipped out of the inn into the drizzly morning air. Homeward bound, he started down the winding, dusty road curving into the mountains.

"I really don't see this as necessary. I mean, it's just a shirt. It's not like he'll have any emotional attachment to it. Right?" Kagome asked, in a feeble attempt to weasel her way out of returning the shirt.
Sango looked at her, rolled her eyes, and gave her a playful push. "Would you like it if you were taking a refreshing dip in the pond and someone came and stole your shirt?" It wouldn't be a very pleasant walk home," Sango said, with a hint of sarcasm, but a mask syrupy concern.
"Alright, fine. I see your point. I just don't want to have to explain that I 'came here for a swim and found your shirt and was so frightened that I ran off with it before realizing I had it.'" Kagome said, picking her way through the trees.
They got to the spot where she had found the shirt. Kagome breathed in then let the air slowly (and loudly) exit her mouth. She shrugged her shoulders to add more to the dramatic effect. Then she looked at Sango with one last "please, let's not do this" look, before moving aside the bushes.

Inuyasha tensed up. Someone was near. He sniffed the surrounding air, but could only smell pine and fresh water. He eased back into the water, his muscles still rigid, waiting.
He didn't have to wait long. His ears gradually picked up the noise of someone ambling through the forest - in his direction. Inuyasha leapt out of the water, and with cat-like speed he dashed to his clothes. He threw on his pants and was rummaging in the underbrush for his shirt when he heard two voices-
"I just don't want to explain that I came here for a swim and found your shirt and was so frightened that I ran off without realizing I had it." Well, that explained a lot, Inuyasha thought. He quietly jumped up onto a tree limb to observe the intruders from above. It was two girls. Both had long black hair and the shorter, younger looking one was carrying his shirt.
He watched as the thief looked around the bushes and gasped when she realized he was gone. She flopped to the ground in frustration, "Now what are we going to do?" She asked; the older girl just shook her head and sat down next to her. It was then that Inuyasha recognized the scent. His face flushed a red as deep as his pants. He coughed in surprise, causing him to lose balance and fall to the forest floor with a loud snap - BOOM!
~*~
Kagome and Sango jumped up and screamed. A white and red blur came plummeting towards them and had landed a short distance away. They looked at each other, then tentatively went over to see what it was. When they got closer, they realized it was a human boy. Knowing they couldn't just leave him there, they went to help him.
"Well, he doesn't look to be hurt, and he's still breathing. That's a good sign right?" Kagome said, trying to be cheerful, but unable to hide the shock and fright in her voice.
Gingerly she leaned over him and rolled him onto his back. She gasped and jumped upward away from him.
"What is it?!?" Asked Sango, panic rising in her voice. "What's wrong with him?"
Kagome said, "He's that boy I was telling you about. The half-demon Seato- sune was picking on!" Just then Inuyasha stirred and sat up.
"Wha..What's happening?" he said, still groggy. Kagome slowly went over to him and said, "You fell from a tree."
He looked her in the eyes and for a moment she could see pain in them. Though, not from falling from a tree. For the first moment, she saw the real him. Then he seemed to get his bearings because his face had a look of shock and horror. He picked up his shirt and ran as fast as he could home. "Thanks!" He called out, before disappearing.
"Well..that was weird," Sango said, breaking the uneasy silence that had filled the woods.
Kagome sighed from exhaustion and lay down onto the ground.
