Miko: WOW! You guys rock! Arigato gozaimasu for all the reviews! It's really appreciated! OH! To every one who is very confused right now, YOU SHOULD BE! Lol. That's all apart of my master plane! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha!

Last time:

Sesshomaru didn't move, and his stare stayed an intense glare. "Very well." He said finally. "I will find what I need on a later date, please excuse me." And with that, Sesshomaru walked off in the direction Kagome had just left. But as he walked the halls, intense powers meet his nostrils. He stopped walking and looked around for the source emitting so much power. However, just as he looked up, another earth shattering scream meet his sensitive ears. Sesshomaru froze.

"Kagome!"

Now:

"Kagome!" Sesshomaru yelled gaining the attention of the few people that happened to be walking in the hall.

'Didn't they notice Kagome's scream?' Sesshomaru asked himself as he took off down the hall at a run. 'Why is it that only Higen and myself can hear them?' However, just as Sesshomaru reached the double doors at the end of the hall, he was pulled from his thoughts by a familiar voice. Sesshomaru growled, but didn't stop running.

"Go on...save her...be the hero," said the voice. "Rescue her from what ever threatens to unbind her to this world..." The voice trailed off.

'Kagome,' Sesshomaru thought. 'Just be alright.' And with that, Sesshomaru formed an acid whip and sliced down the double doors that stood between him and Kagome.

"That's right..." laughed the voice. "You hate to loose...but..."

Sesshomaru cut off the voice, as he finally broke free of the castle, and set foot onto the cold stone outside. The voice laughed, and Sesshomaru looked up as he slowed to a halt. There standing with long silver hair, holding an unconscious Kagome in his arms bridal style, was...

"Brother, you hate to loose, but the question is, are you willing to give up your pride for the women you have come to love?"

Sesshomaru growled. "Inuyasha..." he trailed off, making Inuyasha laugh.

"What is it dear brother? I thought you didn't like humans...that they were to disgusting and vile to take as a mate...so why then have you come to love one so much that you would go so far as to risk your life for one?"

Inuyasha smiled. "Or did you not want to take a human mate in fear of ending up like our father?"

Sesshomaru growled. "Put Kagome down, Inuyasha. Now!" he yelled. Inuyasha laughed. "Dear brother, I believe Kagome is still mine! I'm not going to willingly give up such a beautiful creature."

"You will." Replied Sesshomaru. "Before I ask you how you rose from the dead."

Inuyasha's smirk broadened. "And how, per se, are you going to make me?"

Sesshomaru didn't reply, and instead lunged for Inuyasha with his talons. However, Inuyasha easily dodged, and took at a run for the forest. Sesshomaru growled, and followed after.

"Come get me brother!" Inuyasha teased, jumping into a nearby tree, and continuing deep into the forest. Sesshomaru gladly obliged, and continued through the forest at a run. Inuyasha jumped from tree to tree, his body just a blur of silver as he sped up.

"What's the matter dear brother?" Inuyasha laughed over his shoulder. "Can't keep up?"

Sesshomaru didn't answer. He was fed up with his brother already and they had just met for the first time in months. Not only that, but Inuyasha had Kagome. HIS Kagome. He would surely pay with his life if Kagome were harmed. Sesshomaru smirked at the thought of finally killing his useless brother, and his eyes turned red as he sped up.

"Die, Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru yelled in a bored tone as he in one fluid moment, unsheathed Tokijiin, and lunged for Inuyasha. Inuyasha barely dodged, and ended up dropping Kagome in the process. However, Sesshomaru used his quick reflexes to grab Kagome right before she hit the ground. Inuyasha laughed.

"Well, I guess my job is done here. Bye dear brother. Don't forget to tell Kagome how much I miss her."

Sesshomaru growled as he watched Inuyasha wave goodbye, and then take at a run through the rest of the forest. 'Why was he running away?' Sesshomaru thought. 'I have Kagome...'

"Inu-yasha."

Sesshomaru was pulled from his thoughts and he looked down at Kagome. Her eyes fluttered open.

"Inu-yasha?" she repeated. Sesshomaru inwardly growled. "No Kag, this is your mate!"

Kagome blinked. "What did you call me?" she asked nicely. Sesshomaru slightly blushed, however this went unnoticed by Kagome. "This Sesshomaru is not his half-breed brother. I request that you not call me him."

"I-I am sorry. But I could have sworn-."

"No, you thought wrong, we were on our way back to the western lands when you tripped and fell unconscious. Thus resulted in you being carried."

Kagome nodded. "Oh..."

Sesshomaru raised a delicately sculpted brow. "You do not believe this Sesshomaru?"

"No! No! I do! It's just...never mind..."

Sesshomaru mentally shook his head. 'I wish not to tell her Inuyasha has returned, for not even I have reason to believe that I haven't just been hallucinating this whole thing. There is no way he could have returned...is there?'

"Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and realized he was staring off into space. "I'm sorry, let us be off then?"

"Yes, I'm exhausted..."

'Exhausted you say?' Sesshomaru smirked. 'If you are tired after this, I cant wait to see how you'll react when I tell you about what happens tonight when we return to the castle.'

Kagome stared at Sesshomaru. 'He's smiling.' She thought. 'I wonder what he's thinking about.' However, she soon brushed off the thought and enjoyed the feeling of Sesshomaru's warmth, and found herself slowly drifting off to sleep.

Miko: ok people! I'm sooooo sorry! My internet was down for the longest time and I couldn't update so I'm really sorry that this chapter got turned into a filler, and I'm really sorry about using the word 'however' so much in it...I was in a hurry to meet my deadline today. So, to see when the next chapter will be up, check my bio. Over and out.

Thx.
