A/N: Hello! It's almost another New Year and my resolution is to find Inuyasha and keep him all to myself!! By the by, pretty soon things in this story will get pretty romantic. So romantic, I'll have to make a splinter chapter in the R section. Yes, a lemon. I'm sorry, I know, I'm sick and need help. But if you don't read it, it won't really fracture your understanding of the story, I won't mix the two. I'll just make it, well..juicier for those hopeless romantics out there. (myself included) It will be called, "What If (Splinter Chapter)." I'm writing it tonight also, so look for it if interested! Sorry if you think less of me now.(hides face in shame)

Half way home Inuyasha changed his course. He headed for the pond, where they first met.
When he got there he dropped on a rock, breathless. After awhile he looked up and admired the moon on the water. He grabbed some pebbles and one by one tossed them into the black surface of the water. His eyes were transfixed on the ripples. He watched as slowly the ripples widened until they all merged together. This caused the moon's reflection to be just a white shapeless form floating on the water.
A shadow covered the moon and he looked up, his breath stopping. He stood up in alarm and slowly backed away a few steps.
There Sessho-maru stood, with the moon's light outlining him. He reached out his hand then crumbled to the ground. Instinctively Inuyasha went to his side.
"Brother? What's wrong?" He asked, forgetting his anger. Sessho-maru grasped Inuyasha's robes in his left hand and made frantic batting motions with his right. His eyes were glazed over and his mouth kept opening and closing, like he was trying to say something, but he no longer had a voice.
Inuyasha started to get scared. He had never seen his brother act this way. 'What the hell is wrong with him? Why can't he talk?' he wondered. Sessho-maru's chest was heaving violently. Inuyasha grabbed the hand that was clutching his chest. It was cold and clammy, he could barely make out a pulse; but when he did it was beating rapidly. Sessho-maru looked up at him with a look of pure terror, then he stopped. He just stopped.
It was as if he was a wind up toy and there was no more wind left. He just lay there, frozen. His mouth half-open, his eyes open but seeing nothing, and his whole body was rigid. Even his pulse slowed to a terrifying pace.
Inuyasha had never seen anything like this before. His brother, who was always the calm, strong, mysterious one of the household, was passed out and crazed right in front of him. He didn't know what to do!
Then it was as if Sessho-maru were having a nightmare or something. He started flailing his arms around and kicking the air. Yet, he wasn't in a good mind to know what he was doing. Catching him off guard, Inuyasha was smacked in the face violently and flung to the ground. He hit his head on something hard and everything was black.
~*~
When he awoke, Inuyasha just stared up at the stars, trying to remember what had happened. He felt something warm on his face and smelled blood. He also smelled sickness. He got up and immediately he felt the pain from his head and a nauseating feeling came over him. He looked around for Sessho-maru, but saw only an empty shore.
Sessho-maru's absence left an eerie feeling over the surrounding forest. 'How peculiar,' he thought, 'that Sessho-maru just show up, spaz out, and leave. I wonder what that was all about?' He thought, getting worried once again.
Inuyasha got up and wearily went to the shore. He dipped his hands in and let the warm water run through them. Then he splashed some on his face and shook his head.
His nose caught a familiar scent. He stared off into the woods, but it was too dark for him to make out anything. The moon was hidden behind some clouds, so for the time being he was blind. All the while he could sense a form moving about, just out of his sight. The fine hairs on the back of his neck and arms rose. His eyes darted about as he frantically turned to try and find the shape.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" he shouted at the darkness. His voice echoed off the nearby rocks. He heard short, shallow breaths and could smell fear.
"Inuyasha?" the voice came so softly. His ears perked up. 'I know that voice,' he thought. Then the clouds moved away and there, bathed in moonlight, was Kagome. She looked frightened, but upon seeing him ran to his side.
"I was scared. I woke up at the hospital and you weren't there. So I headed to the only place I could think of, here. But when I got here, you weren't alone. Another demon was there. He was wild, and looked like a dog with rabies. I hid in the bushes. But when you were knocked out, he just calmly got up, like nothing had happened! Then he looked right in my direction and laughed. He laughed! I thought he was going to get me, but he didn't. He just walked away. Then you woke up, but I didn't know if he was going to come back." she trailed off.
Inuyasha held out his arms and pulled her into a hug. "I would never let anything happen to you," he whispered, then rested his head on hers.
She hugged him tightly for awhile then she pulled away slightly. Looking up at him she realized how cute he was. With his long flowing hair, alluring smile, and soft amber eyes that always seemed to be looking right into your soul.
He leaned down and kissed her. Then he pulled her tighter to him and kissed her harder and more passionately. They had both longed for this moment, and both were ready.
Later that night, once they had finally parted, they still held each other and gazed at the moon, and it's reflection on the water. That night, Inuyasha became a man and Kagome became a woman, with the one they loved.
~*~
From the water looked back a jealous creature.
She wanted him, and she would do whatever it took to get him.
~*~
For an instant Kagome's reflection was Kikiyo's, then all was calm.
