Chapter 5: Kidnapping

"Kaida said THAT?!" Shippo yelped.

Inuyasha nodded. He had told them about what had happened the other night. "She took the poison for him and still she protects that snake. I don't understand!"

"maybe," Miroku began, "Kaida can understand your brother more then you can. There might be something that she sees that you don't."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" snapped Inuyasha.

"Do I sense a but of jealousy in your voice?" Shippo said smiling.

Inuyasha hit The little fox. "what the hell would I be jealous of him? He probably hates Kaida. After all she is a half-breed like me."

"That's makes you both have something in common. But I don't think she would go after someone like you Inuyasha." Sango laughed. Soon everyone but Inuyasha was laughing.

"Will you all shut up!" he yelled. Inuyasha sat back down. "Well her grandmother asked me to protect her with my life."

"Well you should. Jest imagine if Naraku got a hold of her. That wouldn't be very good. If Kaida can give someone immortality, that would make her a target to just about every demon here. I think she would attract more attention then the Shikon Jewel." Shippo calculated.

Inuyasha looked down. "Yea I know…" then he caught to the scent. It was Sesshomaru. He stood up. "So now it begins" he whispered.

"What is it Inuyasha?" Sango asked.

"He's here."

"Who's here?"

"Sesshomaru. And I don't think he's here to say hello."

Inuyasha ran outside with the Tetsusaiga drawn. "Sesshomaru! Show yourself!" he yelled.

Sesshomaru stepped out of the darkness. "My dear brother, what brings you out here?" he asked.

"Don't act stupid. I know you're here for Kaida aren't you?"

Sesshomaru smiled. "I am here for the girl. But not for what you think. I don't care about her immortality powers or anything like that. I just want the girl. now give her to me."

"I'll take care of him Inuyasha. I don't see any of the bee's around him." Miroku said. "WIND TUNNEL!" he cried opening his hand. But nothing happened.

"Don't… Miroku don't do it…"

Both Miroku and Inuyasha turned around to see Kaida leaning against the door. She held her hand in a prayer-like manner. Her face was twisted in pain.

"Kaida… what are you doing?" Miroku asked.

"I'm holding back your wind tunnel." She screamed in pain. "Though I don't know how much longer I can do so."

Miroku closed his hand. "But why?"

Kaida looked at Inuyasha. "Don't fight over me. there's no reason why you two should fight. I don't think your bother is meaning to do me any harm." She slowly stood up. "Let me go with him for a while. Don't worry I'll be fine."

"Over my dead body!" He snapped. "I made a promise and I intend to keep it!"

"Damn it Inuyasha! I want to know why he wants me is that to much to ask?" Kaida staggered over to Sesshomaru. Inuyasha started to run to her.

"I won't let you!"

Kaida looked at him. "SIT BOY!" she screamed. Inuyasha crashed to the ground passing out. At the same time Kaida fell to the ground. "Damn it I put energy in that to knock him out."

Miroku looked at her. "But Kaida, why are you doing this?"

She smiled at him. "because I know he's not a bad person. I jus want to know about him. Give me a month. I'll come back after a month I promise." She looked over at Sesshomaru. "So this is where my destiny takes me. I knew I would see you again."
Sesshomaru nodded and picked her up. "Don't worry," he whispered in her ear. "I won't hurt you." and he took off.
