Sesshomaru turned around to face his brother "after everything you ask for my help now?"

Inuyasha growled "Sesshomaru the only reason we ever started fighting was you! You were mad because I got the tetsigua, and you didn't want to be involved with a half demon! If you really want to act like a brother help me!" His fists were clenched so hard his knuckles were going white

Kikyou looked to Inuyasha, frowning she never knew how It was for siblings to fight, She got along perfectly with her sister.

sesshomaru looked offended. He Opened his mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out

'rin made him soft…' thought Inuyasha smirking.

Kikyou took sesshomaru's hand and made it extended. She then took Inuyasha's hand and made it extended. She put them together and made them shake "now admit it you both need help" she shot a look up at sesshomaru who's eyes widened. They both dropped their hands.

Inuyasha turned sniffed the air "where's that pest? Jaken was it?"

sesshomaru laughed coldly and said "he tried to hurt rin, he was loyal I must admit but when one hurts the one you lov-" he stopped and gulped looking to rin who blushed and smiled

Inuyasha's mouth hung agate slightly. As did Kikyou's

"what" growled sesshomaru turning away.

Inuyasha poked sesshomaru's head "hmmm You have emotion now, I like to new you" he smiled and backed up behind kikyou, afraid that his brother would hurt him.

Sesshomaru gave a sarcastic laugh "yeah funny.." He blushed and Looked to rin, nodding "I'm not afraid to say it I love rin, we love each other! I mean what's so wrong with it, you and Kikyou are in love!?"

kikyou stifled a laugh "We didn't say anything was wrong with love" she smirked "yeah we're in love!" Inuyasha shot up and hugged her gently around the neck from behind her.

Rin blushed and let go of sesshomaru, running over to a daisy patch. She picked some and began to make a chain.

sesshomaru sighed happily "she make's me so happy…"

Inuyasha nuzzled kikyou, before saying "so where exactly is this grave of your mothers?"

sesshomaru looked to kikyou rather than Inuyasha "There's a place near the black pearl, or our fathers grave. And when it was returned to your eye after I took it out there was a duplicate made…" he began pacing in deep thought "now the duplicate is being held by one of dad's worst enemies. Mothers grave can only be unlocked with father's grave" he took a long breath "But where mother's grave is, I have no Idea…" he gave a sigh and took a log, sitting on it. He had indeed become more carefree, kind less cold, Inuyasha and kikyou bothed loved this change in him, rin did them all a world of good.

sesshomaru looked at them, they were staring at him "what?" he said with a grunt

Inuyasha began to laugh as did kikyou "oh nothing" said kikyou softly.

"feh" said sesshomaru glaring (Inuyasha: hey that's mine ;-;)

Inuyasha sighed and stepped away from kikyou, walking towards the well. "kikyou you missed a shard…" he said picking up a black shard of a jewel, he could smell it now the rain was gone, it was evil yet pure.

Kikyou looked over at him and slowly approached, taking the jewel. "This is not the shikon no tamma…." She said soft in amazement.

this caused sesshomaru to jump up and run to the jewel, as did rin.
"what?" he said looking at it in awe.

Rin spoke "A jewel shard? But you destroyed them kikyou….there's no way. Is there?" her head was racing though she didn't think much so it was normal.

"thought I smelled something…." Said a deep voice behind them.

Sesshomaru whipped around, protecting rin.

Kikyou stared as Inuyasha smirked "kouga…" he said softly

"damn you caught me!" the wolf demon kouga began to run towards them slower than usual; the jewel fragments in his body had been removed.

"ha!" said Inuyasha cracking his knuckles clumsily.

kikyou stuffed the jewel in her pocket "kouga you have no business with us; please leave…" She looked up at sesshomaru who gave her a nod, running to get her bow and arrow.

Kouga laughed "so hostile.." He sat down on the well looking up at them "just wanted to know what you were staring at…" he said looking at his claws

Kikyou drew back her arrow, so the tip was just skimming his throat "leave kouga, you have no business with us" she said through clenched teeth

Kouga knocked away the arrow "kikyou I'm trying to help you guys!" He sighed "I know more about those shards than you do…" he snorted "your mothers grave is well known Inuyasha…Very well known indeed. After obtaining the black pearl you must find all shards of these black shards"

Inuyasha growled "I'm getting damn tired of jewel shards…" he clenched his fists

Kouga snarled "you want to get your sight back our what?" He cleared his throat "there aren't as many shards as the shikon no tama, yet they are difficult to find….they aren't just in Japan…" he said looking away "there scattered all over the universe…"

Something had just clicked inside of sesshomaru "you mean the jewel's been shattered!?!" he felt his throat growing dry "that means…" he looked around wildly "Inuyasha your in trouble…"

"feh.." he said crossing his arms "I'm always in trouble…"

Sesshomaru shook his head "no, my mother swore revenge…when she knew that father had gotten together with a human and had you…she said she would kill the son…but father sealed her with the jewel…now that the jewel has scattered…" He sighed

"damnit.." said Inuyasha holding onto kikyou "I'll fight her, she's going to have to try pretty damn hard, I'm not dying!" a confident smirk appeared on his face
