Expunge: I hope you like it.

Ieva: Don't worry, Sesshomaru won't do anything of the kind. And a guarantee that they won't accept him right off the bat. Especially Inuyasha.

Chapter 3- Circumstances

………………………………....................................................

Two days ago, Kaede had sent Kirara back to her village. It seemed that she knew something was going to happen.

……………………………….....................................................

"Inuyasha, back off", Kagome shouted at the charging hanyou. "This isn't time to fight, ok?"

"Why did you bring him here?" Inuyasha growled through clenched teeth. "If you knew I would fight him?"

"Inuyasha, LOOK AT HIM!" She screamed. "He's probably dying and all you can think about is revenge?

"Don't say that!", Rin shouted, the poor girl was in tears. "Fluffy can't just die! He's the only father I have!"

Kagome realized what she had said and bent down to come eye to eye with the girl.

"Rin, I'm so sorry, I didn't realized he meant so much to you. I am just trying to get a point across to Inuyasha. See, he and Sesshomaru are rivals and Inuyasha, the baka that he is, doesn't care how badly he's hurt", Kagome shot Inuyasha a threatening glare. "But don't worry, I won't let him die, ok?"

Rin nodded her head.

Inuyasha backed down a little at sight of the girl's tears. He was really confused now. Wait, he's a father to her? Yeah right, I'll believe that when I see it. And, did she just call him 'Fluffy'? I don't see why I can't just kill him. Inuyasha's was cracking and flexing his knuckles at that thought. But noooooooooo, Rin had to get all teary and emotional. Damn my sensitive side!

Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted by Sango running up to Kagome.

"What…Wha….WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?", Sango shouted at Kagome, while looking daggers at her. "You do realize how EVIL he is don't you? You aren't going to help him, are you?"

"Yes, Sango, I am. Only for Rin, so like I said to Inuyasha, BACK OFF, ok?" Kagome said, rather sweetly.

Sango jumped when she heard Miroku's voice. Stay here, Sango, don't run, just stay here, she coaxed herself.

"Kagome, I cannot approve of this. He is a youkai, after all, and he has tried to kill us on countless occasions", the monk said, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Look", Kagome looked at everyone, "Follow me into the hut and I'll explain, but Rin, you stay here and keep an eye on Sesshomaru."

They all nodded and went into the hut with her. Hoping for some kind of explanation to this madness.

"Alright", the miko said, "I personally don't really want to do this, but I am doing it for Rin and Rin only."

"But Kagome…..", Inuyasha honestly couldn't think of anything to There was a small part of him that knew she was right. When he's well, I'm gonna kill him. God, I can't believe Kagome is doing this. Doesn't she realize that he's Sesshomaru? I get where her heart is, but still, I just don't understand why she has to do it herself. Can't she at least wait until Kaede comes back? She's so stupid. He's evil. He'll probably try to kill her when he's well enough to. 'You know that's not true. If he's as evil as you think, he would have killed Rin, by now'. So?

"Kagome, this is wrong, and you know it." Sango said, but it was barely more than a whisper.

"Really, Sango?", Kagome replied. "What's so wrong about it? The fact that a life is being saved or the fact that a little girl is not going to lose the only father she ever had?" Kagome's voice was cold. Miroku knew what was really going on.

"Are you doing this because you don't want that girl to have to go through losing a father? Are you doing this because you don't wan her to have to feel what you felt when you lost yours?", Miroku looked at her with comforting eyes.

Yes. Kagome didn't want to say it. She didn't want to admit her pain. So, she just looked down.

Inuyasha, suddenly, snapped his head up. Kagome never told me that. How could she not tell me? Doesn't she trust me? Doesn't she know that I know how she feels? I thought she knew that I lost my mother when I was small. Man, no one ever tells me anything.

"I, um, I need to get Sesshomaru in here", Kagome said, as pulling herself out of a dream. Inuyasha could swear that he saw her eye glazed over, as if she was going to cry.

………………………………................................

"Rin, Rin!", it was Shippo. He had just come back from town. "What are you doing here?"

"I…Sesshomaru…and…um", Rin didn't know what to saw to her little kitsune friend.

"What happened to Sesshomaru?", Shippo questioned, immediately kicking himself. I know he's bad, but if he's nice to Rin, he can't be too bad, right? "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer." Rin smiled.

………………………………...................................

"Shippo", Kagome said as she vacated the hut. "When did you get back?"

"Oh, hi, Kagome, just now", Shippo jumped up onto Kagome's shoulder.

"Can you tell Inuyasha that I need him out here? I can't get Sesshomaru inside alone", the miko asked the little Kitsune. "Oh, and don't let him hit you." Shippo nodded and walked inside the hut.

"Um, Inuyasha", he said, quietly, but then, not wanting to get hit, his next sentence came out as fast as possible. "KagomewantsyoutohelpherwithSesshomaruok?pleasedon'thitmme"

Inuyasha growled and nodded at Shippo. Why did he think I was gonna hit 'em……..oh yeah.

The hanyou stalked outside, still growling. "Let's just get this over with."

……………………………….....................................

Ok, this would have been longer, but I have to go out for the rest of the day. I'll try and get another chapter out tonight.
