"And these visions would only get worse," Kaede said, "The only person who would know how to help would never tell us." "And who's that?" Miroku asked. Kaede waited a few seconds, wondering if she should tell them. Then, finally she hesitantly said,
"Sesshoumaru."

"Nani?!" Inuyasha growled, "You expect me to ask that thing to turn Kagome back to normal? He'd most likely kill her before he would listen to me." Sango turned to face Miroku, with Shippou on her lap. "Well, it does make a funny scene if you think about it," she said. All three of them tried to imagine Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha being civil to each other, like "proper" siblings should.
-Sango, Miroku and Shippou's Wild Imgination-
"Please Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha whined. He was in Sesshoumaru's castle, with Sango, Miroku and Shippou behind him, sweat-dropping. He had been like this for the past half hour, following his older half-brother around like a lost puppy.
Sesshoumaru sighed. Was it just him, or did little brothers always seem to need something? "Well..." Inuyasha's heart leapt. He was finally getting somewhere! "We'll talk about it after dinner. Go wash up." The four of them came crashing to the floor. Sesshoumaru grinned. He was going to help them, he already made that decision. But it was just so funny, watching Inuyasha coming to him on bended knee!
During dinner, things just got crazier. (Inuyasha, pass the salt please.) And that was the end of the crazy imagination.
-End of Sango, Miroku and Shippou's Wild Imgination-
"Well, that was fun." Miroku said. "But wait," Sango said, "What if that actually does happen?" All three of them thought for a long time. "Nah," they said.
Despite his hate for his half-brother, Inuyasha knew that it was probably their best chance. And if Sesshoumaru tried to kill Kagome, he could always blackmail him, right?
So obviously, they had to go back to the Western lands, and that took about a week. By then, they were exhausted. They stopped to catch their breath before entering the Western lands, just in case they had to fight the Lord of the West. Kagome just sat, barely moving, staring into space with blank eyes. She wasn't tired, obviously, because she had travelled on Inuyasha's back.
Once they caught their breath, the gang reached the castle. Jaken came up to them with the two-headed dragon, Ah and Un, screeching "You are not welcome here! Leave at—mph!" Inuyasha got tired of him and simply punched him unconscious. They wanted to go inside, but there are two reasons: a) they would probably get lost, b) too many demons! So the five of them were stuck outside until the person they were looking for finally stepped outside.
Sesshoumaru blinked. He had done something that nearly killed him to do so. He helped his worthless hanyou of a brother of his, yet here he was, holding that miko girl on his back. "Nani?" Sesshoumaru growled.
"What have you done with Kagome, you bastard!" Inuyasha snarled. "To think he spoke to his mother with that mouth," Shippou said, "Mmm hmm, so true." Sango and Miroku nodded.
"What do you mean?" Sesshoumaru asked. He honestly didn't do anything, he was not Naraku, he had honour. "See for yourself," Inuyasha grumbled. He set Kagome onto the ground, where she just stood, staring at Sesshoumaru with empty eyes.
Sesshoumaru took one look at her and knew. Her spirit was still trapped in hell, she has been there for far too long. Without it, she was just a wandering soul, with no personality, and no knowledge of the present time. The deeper her spirit is in hell, the harder it will be for them to get it back.
"There is nothing I can do to help," Sesshoumaru said, "Her spirit is trapped in hell, not even the Tenseiga can get it back. Treat her kindly, and let her know you care. Only then can you get her spirit back, and even then, the chances are slim." Inuyasha mutely nodded. He still can't believe that Sesshoumaru didn't try to kill them. "Let's go," he said. Inuyasha ran out of the gates. "Matte!" The remaining three cried, running after him.

A/N: And that, my dear readers, is very OOC. I'm sorry! I haven't updated for a month! TT My life has been very busy. I was just looking over the past chapters a few days ago, just so I won't make future mistakes. So technically, I was working on this. Please review!! :3
