Dis: I don't own Inuyasha it belongs to Rumiko Takahashi the storyline is mine though.

Everyone knew the battle to end all battles was coming upon them but they didn't know how close they were until Sesshomaru came to the group's camp one day with a wounded Rin. Kagome had immediately took on her big sister mode. Kagome couldn't work under all of the tension in the air and sent Sango, Miroku, and Shippo back to the village for more supplies. When they left she pulled out the supplies she had sent the them to go get.

"Why did you send them if you had everything you needed?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome stood and walked in-between the two brothers.

"I sent them away because I couldn't work with all the tension hanging around, it's suffocating. I want to deal with as little as possible so either get along for a while or go away," she said calmly.

"You can't expect me to leave her here," said Sesshomaru in a low dangerous voice. Inuyasha put his hand on his sword but stopped when Kagome shook her head at him.

"I expect you two to either solve your stupid quarrels or get away from this camp. I can't help her if I have to make sure your not at each other throats," she said to both of them before turning to Sesshomaru. "I am glad you brought her here because I have seen enough to know that in this time period those who are different will get little or no help," she said. Sesshomaru looked down hiding the look of amazement in his eyes. This young girl had just threatened him however wayward. He got the point and nodded to her. Kagome smiled her kind and gentle smile making Sesshomaru relax and want to trust her a little more.

"I will do my best not to bother you," he said quietly. Kagome nodded.

"Inuyasha take your brother to the hot spring so he can clean his self up and find out what happened," she ordered. Inuyasha nodded dumbly and walked off, with Sesshomaru behind him like a shadow. Kagome smiled to herself. "I knew all he needed was a little tough love inspiration," she said to herself as she watched the two demons disappear into the forest. She heard some rustling behind her and turned to see Rin waking. She winced in pain when she tried to get up. Kagome rushed over to her.

"Don't try to get up your still hurt," she said softly.

"Who are you?" asked Rin.

"I'm a friend of Sesshomaru's brother you may not remember me. My name is Kagome," she said. Rin looked at her for a few moments before a look of dawning hit her.

"I remember now," said Rin. "Where is Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked.

"He's gone to get cleaned up before he sees you again. Can you tell me what hurts?" Kagome asked. Rin nodded.

"I can't move my right arm and left leg and I think there's a scratch on my back," she explained. Kagome nodded.

"I'm gonna need help with that so we'll wait if you can hold on that long. You don't seem to be loosing to much blood, but for the time being I'll wrap up your back" Kagome informed her. Rin nodded. "So tell me what happened," Kagome said.

Inuyasha & Sesshomaru

"Naraku attacked my castle grounds while Rin and I were in the garden. He emerge from the forest and attacked Rin so fast I didn't now he was there. He believed I had a Jewel Shard someplace. I fought him off and he left but Rin had already been injured. I couldn't heal her with my Tensaiga because it only works when the person is near death but Rin was only unconscious. This was the only place I knew to take her," Sesshomaru said as he got dressed.

"Well you did good coming here. Kagome will do all she can to help anyone who needs and deserves it," said Inuyasha. Sesshomaru looked at him.

"What makes her think I deserve her help?" he asked. Inuyasha shrugged.

"Kagome is strange that way she knows things from inside that helps her make her choices," he explained with a far away look entering his eyes.

"I would like to know what she sees in me that makes her not fear me," said Sesshomaru. Inuyasha smirked.

"So do I," he said as they headed back. When they entered the camp Kagome was finishing a pile of things she needed. She looked up to see the brothers coming towards her side by side. 'That's the way things are supposed to be,' she thought to her self.

"Good you are back. Rin has a broken leg and arm. The arm will have to be put back in place so I can put the splint on it so it will heal correctly," she explained. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha nodded.

"You put it back in place I'll hold her," Sesshomaru told Inuyasha. Both Kagome and Inuyasha looked surprised before Kagome nodded.

"You're right it needs a delicate touch and you may not have that," said Kagome. Sesshomaru nodded and got into position. Kagome went and placed a gag in Rin's mouth. "We don't want to attract any unwanted visitors," she informed them. Rin nodded and Inuyasha crouched beside her.

"This is gonna hurt but I'll be as gentle as I can ok," Inuyasha said to the girl in a calm voice. Rin nodded and looked up at Sesshomaru with a sweet smile. He gave a tiny smile back. Inuyasha took her arm and winched when she winched. In three moves he had her arm back in its right place. Kagome quickly placed the splint in place and tied it tight to prevent the bone from slipping from place again. Then removed the gag. Rin wiped away the rest of her tears and looked up at Sesshomaru.

"It still hurts," she said in a quiet voice. Sesshomaru looked up at Kagome a slight look of plea in his eyes. Kagome sighed.

"I usually don't give drugs because they will put people to sleep quickly and for some time, but in this instance it may be a good idea. She will sleep for about two days but she won't be in any pain and she will heal faster, but she needs to eat first. Since her leg is a minor break it will heal the fastest maybe a couple weeks until then I don't recommend travel," said Kagome preparing something for them to eat.

"Well I need to take her home," Sesshomaru said.

"Are you sure that's safe?" Kagome asked looking worried. Sesshomaru was shocked at her worry for him. Inuyasha was also surprised but got over it quickly enough knowing he could trust Kagome's judgment.

"She's right it's not safe if Naraku attacked you at your home. He may come back and you both may get hurt especially if you are trying to protect Rin," said Inuyasha.

"Plus I need to keep checking on her to make sure the bones haven't slipped," said Kagome. Sesshomaru nodded.

"Then I will begin building us a temporary shelter. How long will we need it?" he asked.

"A month at the most," said Kagome.

"I will go into the forest to cut down some trees," he said as he left.

"I'll go too. Kagome yell if you have a problem," said Inuyasha, when he didn't receive an answer he turned around as did Sesshomaru they both gasped. The jewel shard was glowing a faint glow and Kagome's eyes were closed. Rin was starring up at her blankly then they both blinked awake.

"The other half of the jewel shard is complete," they said at once.

"Who would you know that?" asked Sesshomaru.

"It told her," said Rin.

"How do you know?" asked Inuyasha.

"I don't know it started to glow then it's like it pulled me into it," she explained.

"Naraku's going to come here," said Kagome.

"WHAT?" asked Inuyasha.

"It makes sense to get what he wants he has to come get the other half of the Shikon Jewel," said Sesshomaru emitting a low growl. "I want to be here when he comes," he said.

"You're going to fight with us?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru looked at her.

"I've gotten over my want of Tetsusiga and due to your kindness to Rin and I, I feel it is necessary for me to protect you for your and my brothers help. Not to mention I still have a score to settle with Naraku," said Sesshomaru. Kagome nodded then looked behind him.

"Good Miroku, Sango, and Shippo are back they need to be informed," said Kagome. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru nodded in agreement.
