Sesshomaru : Humph, it seems the hanyou has left. Oh well, what should I care?

Shizuko : You shouldn't, because I sure don't.

Kagome: Where's Inuyasha? He said he had wanted some candy didn't he? holds up a bucket of Hershey Kisses

Shizuko and Sesshomaru : O.O May we have some? begin to drool

Kagome : Um, yeah…..holds bucket away from her that's now covered in Shizuko and Sesshomaru saliva

Shizuko: with mouth full Now on to the story while we chow down.

b> Chapter 3: Quick Run to Sango's and Nightmares on Time b>

Kagome decided to take Shippo over to Sango later that night, the time near 10:00 p.m. Shippo had fallen asleep and surely didn't want to wake him up. He seemed so sweet when he slept. 'So peaceful,' she thought her eyes down as she had to stop her car at a red light. 'Like Inuyasha when he slept.' She looked back up, the light changing to its bright green, and her foot stepped lightly onto the petal.

Reaching Sango's house, she parked her car, but left the engine going for she only planned to drop Shippo off and then leave. Miroku was there, obviously, the two had become close since their vacation from Inuyasha's era. They had spent hours at the beach sometimes, and had been to many picnics lately. But one thing that Kagome couldn't figure out, was why Inuyasha had been acting so weird. She had shaken all thoughts of Kikyo being here, but she had a strong feeling that the dead miko was here among them.

Kagome smiled when Sango opened the door, Miroku sat on her couch drinking warm tea that Sango had probably made." Would you join us a moment Kagome?" she asked, her smile sweet and warm. Kagome shook her head, and handed Shippo over lightly.

"No I'm sorry Sango, but I have to get home soon. Souta can't stay home by himself, and Grandpa and Mom won't be back for sometime." She smiled regretfully and headed back for her car, waving one last time before opening the door and sliding into the driver's seat. She sighed when Sango's front door closed, Shippo disappearing with it. She started the car back up and thought of going to the park, where she knew Inuyasha normally went to think, then always went to his apartment. Maybe it would help clear her mind a bit; she never knew being sixteen would wear her out so much.

Sesshomaru rolled over in his sleep, sweet dripping down his forehead. Images of his past, rolling through his mind like a thunder storm, ready to twist his soul like a tornado and throw his heart away. His mother's eyes pleading as he watched her die, and his own eyes becoming stone cold , watching his father holding hands with the mortal wench that was his step mother, but he refused to even give her that title.

His hanyou brother ran around like a foolish little puppy; not even looking where he was going and running into Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had remained so cold at those times, and yet, even then, he always looked to his father for support, never receiving any. He had always been alone, though eh tried to remain part of the family, it was as if he wasn't accepted. So, from his father's death and on, he swore never to feel again, that his brother would die by his hands and that he would never forgive him for taking his father's love away from him and the memory of his mother.

A sudden scream filled his mind as his whole world flashed with a bright light and he sat up abruptly, his heart pounding heavily, watching, and waiting. But nothing was there. No scent, but his own in the dark room that led out to the balcony. EH scowled, standing up, his silk sheets that he had brought slipped carefully off his black cotton pants, which was all he slept in. His bare chest was visible to the moonlight as he stood outside, the night chilling air comforting to him. He sighed and looked down at the city's lights, not many remaining in the distance for most houses out there were the peaceful ones, not worrying of the dangers of city life.

Inuyasha : gawking HEY! WHERE'S MY CANDY I ASKED FOR!?

Sesshomaru : Oh, very sorry brother, was that your candy?

Shizuko : smirks Heh, yes I think it was, but it's ours now.

(Shizuko and Sesshomaru smirk evilly and continue to eat the candy)

Kagome : Inuyasha! I'm sorry, they asked for it, and I didn't see you so….I'm so sorry Inuyasha! And they threatened to tie me- is cut off by a gag put in by Shizuko

Shizuko : Silence girl, I am eating.

Inuyasha : Grr…. I'm going to get Kikyo…

Shizuko : Yes, you go do that. smirks All the more time for me to eat, and then work off my food. (R&R!!!)
