Disclaimer: Look, I don't own Inuyasha, ok? You should know this by now! Friggin' morons…

A/N: OMG! Ok, I just figured out what Midoriko's name means! I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Midori means Green, and Ko means child! GREED CHILD! Is that not hilarious? OK yeah, I will now continue with your regularly scheduled story!

Sesshomaru landed in his backyard and set Kagome down. He rummaged around in his pocket before getting the key to the back door. He twisted it in the lock and opened the door quietly, as to not wake his father. He didn't want to alarm Inutaisho, they all needed sleep. When they stepped through the door, they both gasped.

The house was a wreck. Furniture was tipped over, stuff was melted, and the air reeked of poison. Sesshomaru shoved Kagome roughly out the back door, he knew that if she stayed in the house for longer than a minute, she would die from the noxious fumes that were everywhere.

Kagome suddenly knew what to do. "Stand aside, Sesshomaru." As soon as he was out of the doorway, she sent a blast of purifying energy into the house. The gasses were soon purified and it was safe to breath the air again.

They both stepped in the house. There were obvious signs of a struggle. Inutaisho must have been trying to protect his son, but lost. Sesshomaru and Kagome could only hope that neither of them were dead.

Sesshomaru couldn't move or talk. On the inside he was fuming at the thought that Kikyo now had two members of his family, and that she could kill them at any time. Finally he snapped out of his trance and went looking around the house to try and figure out what had happened.

(Flash Back)

Inutaisho awoke to a loud crash. It sounded like it was coming from Inuyasha's room. He ran and skidded to a stop in front of his son's room. Inside were Kikyo and Inuyasha battling. Inutaisho knew that Inuyasha didn't have a chance against the priestess, what with him being human and all. He then saw Kikyo starting to conjure up a huge energy blast that would either purify him or knock him out for almost 3 days. Inutaisho didn't want to take the chance to see if the blast was good or bad, but he quickly lunged and got Inuyasha and himself out of the way of the blast.

Inutaisho and Inuyasha ran to the other bedroom (Inutaisho's). Inutaisho grabbed the Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha's hands. He also got the Tensaiga, just in case, although it wouldn't do much good on wounds from purification, but it could protect both of them from death with its shield.

Suddenly the door flew open and in stepped Kikyo. She had a smile on her lips. But her eyes showed no emotion. Together it made her look terrifying, even to Inutaisho. She didn't bother to run at them, she just approached very slowly.

"What are you two going to do now? I have you cornered, so why don't you just accept your fate. It would make this a whole lot easier."

"Kikyo, I won't let you kill my son."

"Don't worry, I wasn't planning to…yet."

Inutaisho glared at Kikyo. She was still smirking, and it was unnerving to him. Finally he got impatient and took out Tetsusaiga. "WIND SCAR!" He shouted as he swung the sword in a mighty downward arc.

Kikyo just laughed. She put up a barrier, and the wind scar rebounded towards Inutaisho. He quickly grabbed Inuyasha and jumped out of the way, and watched as it tore up the bed and the wall.

Inutaisho threw the Tensaiga to Inuyasha, and ran into the living room, hoping to give Inuyasha a chance to escape. Kikyo followed him, and the battle started up again, with Inutaisho throwing poison and other things at Kikyo, while Kikyo just stood there and watched as every attack rebounded off of the shield. Occasionally she would also throw in some of her own power, just for fun.

Inuyasha was watching from the doorway. He didn't like not being able to help, and feeling so weak and powerless. Then he saw Kikyo throw a huge energy blast at his dad. Inuyasha quickly threw Tensaiga at him, and so the sword blocked the blow, although the force from it still knocked Inutaisho unconscious.

Kikyo smirked at him. "at last, the ideal opportunity to get what I came for." She locked eyes with Inuyasha, and slowly approached him. He tried to run, but found he couldn't move. He couldn't even blink. Soon Kikyo was right in front of him.
"Kikyo, why are you doing this? I thought that we loved each other!"

"You might have loved me, but I on the other hand, care nothing for you."

Inuyasha stood dumbfounded. He still couldn't move, as he watched Kikyo place two fingers on his forehead. Then all went black.

Kikyo looked back at Inutaisho. "well, waste not want not!" She said, as she went over to put him under mind control as well. Inutaisho woke up right before Kikyo put him under her spell. He quickly whispered to Tensaiga, "Find Sesshomaru, and lead him to us." Then Kikyo put her fingers on his forehead, and then he saw blackness as well.

(End Flashback)

Kagome went and started examining the living room. A burn mark here, melted stuff there, everything pointed to an all-out struggle. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru was in his fathers bedrooms. It was worse in there than it was in the living room. The bed was slashed up, Inutaisho had obviously used the wind scar, but why had it rebounded? He didn't know, but he assumed it had been because of a barrier.

While kagome was searching the living room, she saw a blue light. She called to Sesshomaru who came running out. He looked in awe at what he saw. "The Tensaiga is calling to me!"

"Wait, whoa, the Tensaiga Is the sword that you have right now! This sword isn't the tensaiga!"

"No, the sword I have is only a replica of the Tensaiga, it doesn't have as much power as the original, and its only big purpose is to protect me, because if I used it to heal, the power wouldn't come back, it would just be a dead sword."

Sesshomaru picked it up and it started pulsing. "I think its trying to lead me to my father!" He said, astonished that the sword was capable of that. Kagome was also amazed.

"Are we leaving? Now that you have the sword…"

"No, we need rest, especially you."

"Where will I be sleeping?"

"With me of course."

Kagome blushed a bit. She knew that they both had deep feeling for one another, but this was moving to fast for her.

Sesshomaru, seeing the blush, decided to explain. "We don't have a spare bedroom, and the only room that isn't trashed is mine…" Kagome nodded and Sesshomaru jokingly picked her up bridal style again, and carried her through the doorway, and placed her on the bed. He got on the bed too, and then got under the covers. Sesshomaru gently kissed Kagome on the lips and she giggled. She wrapped her arms around him, and said "good night, Sesshomaru."

He was surprised at first, by her hug, but soon he hugged her back. They fell asleep like that, locked in each other's embrace.

A/N: Yeah, I had to put in the whole "Tensaiga replica" thing because it was only after I wrote the flash back that I realized that Sesshomaru had Tensaiga with him when they were battling Kikyo…yeah, big oops on my part! I tried to make this chapter longer, and I talked about their relationship a bit more, cuz u guys were requesting that. If you find anything wrong, please tell me! I'll try to fix it, but no guarantee's! Ok, don't forget to review! Stay tuned!
