            "COME HERE!!!!" Kagome shouted, twitching at the growling demon lord sitting down on the hut floor.

            "LEAVE ME ALONE," Sesshoumaru growled back, scooting back. He'd only been awake for an hour, and Kagome wanted to give him some potions that would most likely knock him out again. He was NOT about to take any more medicines, he didn't care if he was bleeding horrible, and almost dieing, he wouldn't take any. And Kagome wasn't going to take no for an answer.

            "I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE THE MOST POWERFUL DEMON IN ALL OF FRICKING JAPAN!! YOU GOT HURT!!" Kagome shouted, even louder this time, making him actually feel slightly intimidated. It was kind of hard not to when a human teen had insanely large lungs and the ability to shatter the sound barrier. "GET OVER HERE, NOW!!"

            "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!" He snapped, glaring at Kagura, who was chuckling and trying not to. But it was hilarious to see Sesshoumaru struggling with a battle of the wills. She also felt sorry for him, knowing that he was trying to keep his cool exterior and failing horrible.

            "SIT, BOY!!" She yelled and blinked when Sesshoumaru just kept giving her a death glare. "Oh yeah.....You aren't Inuyasha..." The named Hanyou stormed in, covered in dirt, and glared at her.

            "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" He growled at her.

            "What?! It's a natural reflex action!! If your brother would just swallow his stupid pride and let someone help him, we wouldn't be having this conversation!!" She snapped, glaring at him.

            "If you're so in control, then where the heck is he?!"

            "NANI!??!" Kagome exclaimed and looked behind her. Sure enough, Sesshoumaru was nowhere in sigh. "GRRR!! HE MAKES ME SO MAD I COULD JUST SIT HIM!!" Inuyasha shouted as he once again hit the ground, starting a whole new argument that was so heated they didn't notice Sesshoumaru limping away from them, wanting the both of them to just shut up.

            I can't believe that mortal was the one that gave me those potions...I don't need potions....I can heal on my own... he thought almost bitterly. And now his headache was even worse than before. He almost regretted waking up if this was what he had to put up with. Almost. He was still weak, so he only made it a large tree before nearly collapsing. Sighing, he leaned against the trunk thankfully, and stared up at the sky.

            ".....You could have helped me, you know....." he muttered, narrowing his eyes slightly when the wind started to blow. "....And you still haven't told me how exactly you got your heart in your chest....I'm very curious to hear about it..." He heard Kagura chuckled above him but didn't bother to move.

            "So...You're curious, are you?" She said, looking down at him. "...Do you not want to wait until you get some of your strength back?"

            ".....No....I don't.....I'll be fine....You're almost as bad as the human girl..." He growled, not harshly. He was more sleepy than truly in pain. Yes, it hurt. He was weak. But that didn't mean he had to act like it. And he wasn't. And he especially wasn't Inuyasha near. "...Talk to me, Kagura...."

            She blinked. "If you want to tell you how I got my heart in, you should probably ask the demon slayer." The demon lord blinked, looking up at her with a questioning look. "It's not like I could do it myself......It's a little hard to explain..." She was silent at remembering the pain of having something literally forced into your body. Luckily, her body quickly became accustomed to it when the stone actually did turn into a heart. And she had almost fainted. But she wouldn't tell him that. She didn't want him to worry, not now.

            Sesshoumaru blinked again and looked at the ground. ".....At least now....You really are free..." He whispered, smiling slightly. Kagura caught it and jumped down, landing in front of him. Her expression was slightly sad.

            "...I'll be truly free.....When Naraku is dead...." She whispered, soft enough for only him to hear. He stared at her and sat up. He put his hand on her cheek, surprising her. She loved him, but he rarely showed any gestures of affection, so this was a treat, she guessed.

            "Maybe not now.....But Naraku will die....And I don't care who kills him, as long as he's dead...." He told her seriously, looking into her red eyes. "Just hang on until then...." She smiled and put her hand over his.

            Thank you....I needed to hear that from you...

            "....Miroku....Do you feel that?" Sango asked, looking at the monk. "...That ominous aura that's coming this way...?" The monk nodded. The air was strangely heavy with the presence of demon and something else. "....Is that...a shikon jewel shard also?"

            Miroku nodded again. "..We should go get Kagome and Inuyasha...." he said, taking a step back as it came closer. Kiara suddenly jumped up on Sango's shoulder, mewing softly.

            "What is it, Kiara?" She asked, as the little demon mewed more and jumped ahead a few steps. Sango blinked and looked up as the aura came even closer. "Yes....Let's go get them.....NOW..."

- - - - - - - -

            "What are these, Shippou?" Rin asked, blinking and staring at the candy in the little kitsune's hand. Shippou grinned and handed her a lollipop.

            "This is what Kagome brings from her era!" He said, watching her stare at it. "It's REALLY good! Try it!" HE giggled when she licked it and blinked.

            "This IS good!" "Told you!" They both giggled and ate some of the candy before Shippou blinked.  He heard Miroku yelling for Kagome and Inuyasha. Blinking, he jumped on a rock and heard Rin gasp softly.  "Rin? What is it?" HE asked, his eyes growing wide.

            She took a step back, her eyes wide with fear. "Shippou.....Demon..." She said softly, slowly backing away from the rustling in the bush. Menacing growling could be heard as the large kuroneko, Kyoko, emerged from it, panting. She was snarling, her green eye glowing red. A few red spots dotted her black coat as the two gasped.

            "S-s-s-sesshoumaru-sama..." She whimpered, feeling her knees go weak. She was terrified of the snarling demoness. Shippou ran in front of her, also terrified but wanting to protect her.

            "I'll p-p-protect you, Rin!" He declared, almost shrieking when she roared. His voice got very high pitched. "R-really...I will....?" They both did scream when the bush around her burst and Kohaku ran out. She roared again and jumped over them, the boy hot on her trail.

            "SESSHOUMARU-SAMAA!!!!!" Rin did scream, yelping when other demons ran after Naraku but turned their sights to Shippou and her. Shippou tried fox fire, and while it burned some of the insects, it didn't even faze them. He shouted an expletive and curled up into a ball before he felt some lift him up. Rin stopped screaming, and he opened his eyes.

            "Kiara?!" He gasped happily but paled when he realized that Kiara wasn't all black. "....IT'S THE DEMON!!!!" He shrieked and tried to get free from her powerful jaws. He looked over at Rin, who was blinking. She was quiet, so he stayed quiet also. He felt air whoosh past him as Kohaku threw his scythe at her.

            They both felt her growl and blinked when she stopped and let them down, jumping away as she dodged another attack. "SHIPPOU!! RIN!!" Kagome shouted, running toward them. "Are you two alright?!" They both nodded and she stared at the demon and the former demon slayer.

            "Inuyasha!! That neko has a jewel shard!!" She told the Hanyou when he ran up. He nodded, watching the lesser demons and insects appear behind Kohaku. What's going on?! All this for one demon?!

            "Kohaku!!!" Sango yelled, running up to them with Miroku. "Was he the one causing the ominous aura?!" She couldn't feel an aura coming from Kyoko, which she decided, couldn't be good. Kohaku ignored them, focused on the neko, who was snarling with such fury, it shocked even Inuyasha. He heard Kagura and Sesshoumaru run up and blinked when he saw his brother's face suddenly pale.

            What the---? He thought, staring at him but turned his attention back to the battle when another roar shook the air.

            "Kohaku, I thought you escaped Naraku's grip!!" Kagura shouted at him, bringing up her fan. He had escaped, and Kagura had hoped for good, but Naraku must have found him again. "But why would he use so much for just one demon?!"

            "You know what, I don't care!" Inuyasha said, taking out the Wolf's Fang. "But I'll tell you this; I'm getting a shard one way or the other!" He yelped when Kagome shouted a sit, and twitched. Kiara ran past him, growling at Kyoko, and mewing at Kohaku. He again ignored her and swung the scythe at the neko. She again dodged and pounced, roaring again.

            "NO!!" Sango yelled and hurled her weapon at them. At the last second, the demon jumped out of the way, narrowly missing getting hit. "Kohaku, stop this!!!!" He looked at her, his eyes blank, but starting to register who she was. He took a step back before fully turning and running away. "Wait! Kohaku, come back!!" She started running after him but gasped when Kiara jumped in front of her.

            Kyoko turned her eye on them, snarling and bristling. They all blinked when they heard a returning growl, this time, from Sesshoumaru. He looked as angry as she did, his eyes flashing red. Kagura stared at him, intimidated. "It's you..." He growled, taking a step toward her. Her fur bristled even more, her fangs exposed and wicked. "Kyoko.....You wench.."
