Hello my unknown audience. This is chapter 3. Sadly I do not own any of the characters besides their personalities in my fanfics. So in a way, everyone owns InuYasha. Reasons, no one can get the exact InuYasha into their fanfics, so everyone has their InuYasha. But, I DO own Tom and Tim. No one will take them no matter what. THEY ARE MINE!!! Mwahahahahahahahaha! But I hate Tim. Or is it Tom? I don't know. Oh, announcement. I, LadyDragonStar, and her best friend Sango are going to work on either a Christmas or New Years fanfics for the holidays. It's going to be short, maybe a one chapter, but when it's done, please check it out. Thank you.

Oh, you need to know this, even if it's never mentioned. Everyone lives in Tokyo, and the year is 2037. Yippee! A space science like year! Where have I heard that? I don't know. Well, seeing I like the Sky City that Japan is building in Tokyo, I will somehow put that in. And since they built that, there is more room in Japan, meaning why the mansion is so big, and the park is huge but empty. Just letting you know! And you all probably hate me for not just continuing with the story.

Chapter 3: When the Past Meets the Present

Recap: for those who haven't read Chappie 2 in a while.

Sesshoumaru came home to visit Kagome, but is neglecting her on many levels. In the meantime, InuYasha is watching Sesshoumaru and even managed to crash Sesshoumaru's computer system! Go InuYasha!

"Wow that was good!" Kagome laughed as she rubbed her stomach as she and her friends walked out of the ice cream parlor. "It might have been better if Sesshoumaru had actually talked," Sango lightly jabbed the sulking demon in the ribs. The demon lightly coughed. "Yeah, you party pooper," Miroku chuckled. "I do not approve of how you speak to me," Sesshoumaru said. "I'm sorry," Miroku said in a sarcastic voice. "Sesshie, just please lighten up," Kagome frowned slightly as they neared their home. "Kagome, you are 23 years old, you shouldn't have to act this way," Sesshoumaru said as they walked up the steps. "Kagome, I need to talk to you," Sango whispered to Kagome as they went inside and took off their shoes. "Alright," Kagome was pulled away from Sesshoumaru who did nothing to show he was against it. Sesshoumaru, ignoring everyone who invaded his home, went upstairs to his office and shut the door. Kagome was pulled into the kitchen by Sango. "Kagome-san, I don't mean to offend you or anything, by why are you with Sesshoumaru-sama?" She asked in a whisper, as she leaned against the counter. "Because I am, why?" Kagome responded as she stood next to Sango.

"Well…to me, he's a big jerk. Well, not really a jerk per say, but he seems to only care for himself."

"Why would you say that?"

"Kagome-san, he doesn't seem that into you, just his work and himself, do you know if he even loves you?"

"I…I'm not sure anymore, but I still love him."

"But does he love you? I know Miroku loves me because he takes time out of his own life just to be with me. He lets me be the way I am, one reason why I love him. And I let him do as he pleases as long as he's faithful to me. Sesshoumaru just seems to take time off so he can spend time here in his office," Sango pointed up to Sesshoumaru's office, where Miroku leaned against the wall by the door. "He didn't even want to go get ice cream with you."

"How do you know that? Sesshoumaru lets me do I want."

"Dur, hello? I'm a mind reader whole reason why I…never mind. Anyway, I read his mind earlier before we even left, and when he got here, he instantly insulted us for being too immature."

"Us? As in you and Miroku?"

"No, us. You, Miroku and me."

"What ever, look he loves me because he told me before he left for the Demons Council. End of conversation, okay? I don't want to talk about this any longer," Kagome walked out of the kitchen. "Will you at least try and open your eyes a little? Maybe your heart will tell you something about Sesshoumaru," Sango asked from the kitchen. Kagome looked at over her shoulder. "Yeah, fine I will, just don't mention any more of this," Kagome felt really bad for a reason she didn't even know. She felt strange, like she had experienced all this before. And no one had even questioned her marriage with Sesshoumaru. So why did she feel like she went through all of it before? She went upstairs and walked passed Miroku, avoiding his glance. "Hello Lady Kagome," he greeted before walking to his room. "Hello Lord Miroku," Kagome said with no spirit as she stopped at Sesshoumaru's office door. "…" she bit her bottom lip when she looked at Sango who stood by the doorframe of her room. Sango didn't look happy. In fact, she looked quite sad. Maybe she's trying to warn me…Kagome looked at the white door in front of her. No, Sesshoumaru loves me, and that's that. Kagome shook her cranium mentally and knocked on Sesshoumaru's door. She looked over to Sango who had gone into her room and shut the door.

"Miroku, I just don't like him," Sango said as she leaned against Miroku's shoulder. They were both lying on their purple bed. Sango rested peacefully on Miroku who had his arms wrapped safely around her waist, rubbing gently up her shirt. "Just give him some space, apparently he has never met people like us before," Miroku reassured his fiancé and kissed the top of her head. "But, I went through his mind earlier, he hates us, and he didn't even want to come out for ice cream with us and Kagome. What does that say to you?' Sango looked down at him, lifting her upper body up to look at him. "Not much, just a man who doesn't know how to show how he loves his mate," Miroku shrugged. "You're not much help you know," Sango glared at him. "You're so cute like that," Miroku smiled.

"Now you're just playing games with me."

"No, really. You're so damn cute I have to hold onto something to keep from falling over at your radiance and sight."

"…Miroku,"

"What? I did not say a thing," Miroku curled his lips into his mouth. Sango pouted and took one hand and placed against the side of his face. "Un curl them you pervert," She growled. Miroku shook his head. "Do it," Sango warned. "Mhmm mm," Miroku mumbled. Sango rolled her eyes and held Mirokus nostrils. The mans face began to turn red, and he gasped. "Ha!" Sango bent down and kissed him fully on the lips. She let go and rolled off him and off the bed. "That was cheating," Miroku mumbled as he sat up. "Gotta do what you gotta do to get a snack," Sango shook her head.

Sesshoumaru opened the door to find Kagome standing there. "Yes?"

"May I come in?" Kagome asked. "Why?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I just want to watch you work; I promise I won't do anything."

"…"

"I'll sit in the corner reading a book."

"…"

"I just want to stay in the same room as you, you make me feel safe."

"…"

"…"

"Fine," Sesshoumaru moved out of the way to let Kagome in. The miko walked in and sat in the farthest corner away from Sesshoumaru's computer. She never had been his office at all since they moved to the mansion. She was never allowed in. She pulled out a book out the front pocket of her hoody and began to read. Sesshoumaru returned to working on the computer. To him, it was like Kagome didn't even exist. But this time as she sat in the corner reading a book, he knew she was real. He continued to glance at her reflection in the mirror on the wall. She was well into her book, a book he didn't know she even owned. He's seen every book Kagome owned, and this was new to him. But it looked really old and worn out. Where had she obtained that book? Ignoring the tiny mystery he only stared at Kagome, her eyes wide as she scarcely blinked as she read.

Kagome glanced up at Sesshoumaru with her eyes knowing he was watching her; she quickly looked back at her book, finishing the last paragraph and turning the page. "Lady Kagome!" The couple heard Miroku's voice as he ran down the hall. Kagome looked at the door as he ran back again. The door was shut and everything was quiet so he couldn't have known that she was in the office. "Kagome-san!" Sango's voice was heard down in the lobby. There were more than 10 rooms in the mansion many were just as big as the master bedroom.

A/N that's a huge mansion. So what if I like making the settings large and spacious?

Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru who looked back at her. "I'll be right back, okay?" Kagome said as she stood up to leave. Sesshoumaru nodded and turned back to working on the computer. Kagome caught a glimpse of a woman on the screen. She looked like his secretary, and it must be video connection. She had on headphones as well as Sesshoumaru. She was showing him graphs and such. Nothing to worry about. Kagome told herself as she walked out the door.

"Yes?" Kagome answered another call from Sango and Miroku. Sango was down in the middle of the lobby, while Miroku was walking around the kitchen. The two looked up at Kagome at the same time and smiled. Kagome leaned against the hallway railing. "Um, Kagome-san, me and Miroku need to go to work," Sango explained as she walked below Kagome and looked up. She was about 15 feet below her, so she had to sort of shout. "Yeah, Lady Kagome, we'll be back around 10 or so pm," Miroku explained as he put his shoes on. "Do you need keys or anything? To the house?" Kagome asked. Sango looked at Miroku then back up at Kagome. "Do you have a spare key? I could use my powers to unlock the door, but if I do that it may damage the lock, so I think we should use a key. Do you have one?" Sango asked.

"Yes, just hold on and I'll get it," Kagome went into her room and came back about 3 or more minutes later. "Here you go," She tossed the silver key down to Sango who instead catching it let it hover in front of her. "That's good! The key might've cut your hand if you just caught it right of the air," Kagome giggled. "Actually, she just sucks at catching," Miroku pointed out. Kagome laughed at his comment, but Sango didn't. "No, I just didn't want to cut myself, that's all," Sango took the key and placed it in her pocket and walked over to Miroku. "Bye Kagome-san, we'll see you in a few hours!" Sango waved goodbye then slapped the back of Miroku's head as they walked out the door. Kagome said bye and went back to the office. She took her seat in the corner again and continued to read. Kagome stayed on the office for about an hour before getting bored of the book she was reading. She had found it in the kitchen cabinet and thought it looked interesting to read. It was, but it was beginning to bore her. Just like everything in the house was beginning to bore her.

A/N that was creepy, I'm typing and this shadow appears behind me, I turn around and no ones there. I hate that when that happens! Creepy…

She paced around the room, continuing to glance over Sesshoumaru's shoulder to what he was doing. The woman on the screen was gone, and a wave of relief went over Kagome. Sesshoumaru was apparently working on some new ways to hide demon features on demons that didn't look so…pretty. Maybe Sesshoumaru used stuff like that. Kagome laughed in her mind as she continued to walk around the room. The demon was now working on places for where demons could live, how demons can protect themselves from hunters and priest and mikos. Everything Sesshoumaru was working on didn't seem confidential to Kagome. So why does he have to keep everything a secret then? I used to work at a place where I helped make new sutras and spells. That was confidential. If a demon found out about the spells they could find a way to counter them. But this, this is juts stupid work. Kagome picked up the book she was reading. "Sesshoumaru, I'm going to go take a nap," Kagome said as she walked out the door. Sesshoumaru said and did nothing but continue to work…on nothing.

Kagome went to her room and plopped onto the bed. She soon fell asleep to the sounds of soft growling by her ear…

Kagome lied in the grass by the Shikon River. It was a beautiful day out, and all was good in the world. At least to Kagome. She felt so at peace at everything. She got up and skipped over the bridge crossing the river. She twirled around in circles in the field filled with flowers. She was laughing as she looked up at the sky. All of a sudden it got cold, and Kagome stopped but continued to look into the sky. A white speck slowly drifted down in front of her. Kagome watched it, then many more began to slowly fall down. It was snowing. Tiny snow crystals fell around her in drifts as though they were dancing with her. She could hear the faeries giggling with her as the snow patterns twirled. Kagome held out her hand catching the faeries in her palm. Tiny faeries danced and twirled around like under a spell, laughing in glee. Their transparent ice wings flattered about with their white ice hair. They looked up at her with blue vacant eyes smiling. They fluttered out of her hand and danced along with the other faeries around her. Kagome smiled and fell backwards. She made a snow angel and looked down at it. It looked exactly like her. The snow angel got up and took form into a woman.

Kagome tilted her head and frowned a bit. It didn't look like her. Maybe another version of her, with cold eyes and pale skin. Long straight black hair. The new girl smiled at her and held out her hand. Kagome looked at it and took it. The woman smiled at her and they began to walk. "Excuse me, but what's your name?" Kagome asked the woman who walked so elegantly. The snow faeries followed her and Kagome, now favoring the new woman. She wore a white elegant dress, and she looked like a snow princess. The woman turned her eyes to her. "My name is Kikyou," The woman smiled as she gently squeezed Kagome's hand. "I gather that you are the priestess Kagome?" Kikyou presumed as she stopped to face her. The faeries seemed to laugh at Kagome as they mocked her name. They were leering at her with evil in their eyes. Kagome didn't take this alarming to her; most faeries were spies of the devil. Most of them… "Yes," Kagome didn't find it odd that it was snowing and that Kikyou knew her name. "Why is it snowing?" Kagome asked. "Snow is the tears of man," Kikyou explained as she smiled in way that made Kagome's stomach do a flip. Kagome and Kikyou walked out of the park where it stopped snowing. Kagome looked back at the faeries that were stopping at the edge of Shikon Park. Why weren't they following her? She found that Kikyou was leading her to Shikon Mansion. "I know this place," Kagome piped up. "Yes, I know you do. This is your home, once my own home," Kikyou explained as the too of them went into the mansion. "Why are we here?" Kagome asked.

"It matters not why we're here. You are dreaming everything that happens," Kikyou explained as she led her up to the master bedroom.

"Oh…"

"Take a look around, I hope that you find that the room is special in ways that humans can not," Kikyou held her arm out inviting Kagome to walk in. The room seemed new to Kagome, and completely different. The room was filled with furniture, two or three couches lined one wall, a king sized bed was in the corner, and two desks sat across the room. A large TV, too future like that it seemed to be the only one of its kind was at the foot of the bed. Kagome walked around the room where things began to move around like water. It turned into her room. Kagome walked over to her familiar bed and saw that she was sleeping. "That's me," Kagome pointed to the sleeping mirror image. "Yes," Kikyou stood next to Kagome. "So I'm really dreaming?" Kagome asked. Kikyou didn't answer, but instead…disappeared into thin air. "Kikyou?" Kagome looked around. Kagome walked out of the room against Kikyou's wishes and went into Sesshoumaru's office. There, she found Sesshoumaru sitting at his computer. "You always work Sesshoumaru, how come you never spend time with me?" Kagome asked as she stood behind him. He didn't answer and Kagome rolled her eyes. In a blink of an eye Kagome found herself back at Shikon River. This time, everything wasn't at peace. The air was cold and dark, and the snow had disappeared, leaving dead plants and flowers. The river was dry and the bridge was old and rotting. Kagome ignoring all of this went down into the dry river. She bent down and looked at some rocks. She looked closer at them and realized they were bones.

She looked at the dirt, it was ashes. Confused she stood up and scratched her head. Kagome heard the sound of rushing water behind her and turned around. A wave of water was coming at her. Kagome screamed and tried to run, but couldn't move. "What the hell!?" She looked at her feet and saw she was standing on her shoelaces. She kicked her shoes off and tried running. Again she couldn't move. Her shoelaces were undone. She kicked off her shoes again and tried running. This time, someone held her at the ankles. Kagome began to scream when she saw that a rotting body held her captive. But the eyes were unmistakable. "Kagome…don't leave!" The voice cried. "Nothing shall ever harm us again. Join me, join me in hell…!" Kagome tried screaming but sudden warm light hit her and she succumbed to its radiance. "Kagome…" A voice whispered, a woman's voice of someone she knew but didn't. "Kagome please don't abandon the world you live in…!" A woman floated down to her, hands out stretched to her. Kagome tried to see the woman's face but the light was blinding. She could see her smile, the only thing that made Kagome felt safe. "Kagome…!" The woman smiled placing her hands on Kagome's face.

Kagome woke. Confused as to what had just happened she sat up. She woke up so fast the dream was nothing but a blur. All she could remember was a woman's voice saying "Nothing shall harm us again. Join me, join me in hell...!" She ignored the cold feeling she was having and lied back down. She looked at her clock and sighed. She had been asleep for 3 hours. Some nap that was.

"Phew…" Sango leaned back on her hands and sighed. "Wouldn't you say that was a little too close this time Miroku?" Sango asked as she looked up at Miroku. Miroku looked down at her and raised an eyebrow. The two were together out on an opened field, secluded by trees. Miroku had been holding Sango close, as Sango sat in his lap. "This time?" Miroku echoed. "Well yeah, we barley saved Kagome. Before we just barley saved our last client," Sango explained. "It's getting harder to pacify spirits and save people from their own hearts," Miroku agreed. "Yeah, we should probably go back to Kagome in an hour or so," Sango suggested as she got off Miroku who sighed. "What?" Sango asked. "Nothing," Miroku stood up. "You're disappointed that I'm not sitting in your lap anymore aren't you?" Sango raised an eyebrow.
"…"

"Answer me."

"Yeah so? It's not like you're gonna just crawl back into my lap," Miroku turned to walk away. "I swear you're the dumbest retard in this whole fucking world," Sango giggled. "What? I don't think that's funny," Miroku looked at Sango, pouting. "I'm just saying I'd climb back into your lap if I wanted to," Sango pointed out. "Oh…" Miroku looked at her then continued to walk away. "Hey, where are you going?" Sango asked as she trotted next to her fiancée. "No where, we need to go back to our next client," Miroku said. "Look at me," Sango demanded. "No," Miroku responded. "Look at me," Sango took Miroku's arm and made her face him. "What?" Miroku asked as though he didn't know what was going on. "This is what," Sango pulled him towards her and kissed him. She pushed him and put her hands on her head and laughed. "Nyah ha-ha!" she laughed as she turned on her heel to walk away. "That was a big cheat," Miroku grumbled. "That's new, coming from a pervert like you," Sango turned her head to look at him. "Fine then, I'll just do what a normal pervert would do," Miroku tackled Sango who yelped as he pushed her to the ground and kissed her. "Hey that hurt you know, pushing me to the ground," Sango growled. "Well I hope the rest won't, because I hope it'll be nice and gentle," Miroku kissed her again. "Right here in the middle of the woods!? Are you crazy?" Sango whispered. "No, it's just that when I see you I just want you there at that moment," Miroku nuzzled her neck. "Cute, at least put a shield up," Sango pointed out. "Alright," Miroku whispered in another language as a blue light surrounded them and Sango felt herself disappear. "Yay, we go bye byes!" Sango giggled. "Yup, for awhile too," Miroku laughed.

Kagome snapped out of her dream world again. She couldn't fall back asleep for more than half an hour. All because of the dream she had. Who was that girl? Why did she look so familiar? Kagome couldn't remember anything but the look on the girls face as she screamed at Kagome not to leave. Sadness, anger, and confusion. What would make Kagome's brain give her a dream like that? Kagome snuggled into her pillows that had been dampened by her sweat. She closed her eyes again, hoping this time she would fall asleep.

"Kagura, see who hacked into my computer," Sesshoumaru instructed through a head set on the computer. "Yes Master Sesshoumaru," A woman's voice came through the head phones. A faint ding was heard and Sesshoumaru knew that the search began. "Master, how is your mate?" Kagura asked as she tried to make conversation. "She is sleeping in the next room," Sesshoumaru said as he clicked out of a file. "That is good, Master, what do you think of me?" Kagura asked random questions. "You know all too well of how I feel towards you, wind witch," Sesshoumaru looked at Kagura through the video link. Kagura smiled faintly her red eyes narrowed. "Thank you sir," She smiled. There was a moment of pure silence and another ding was heard. "Master, the results have come in," Kagura announced leaning on the palm of her hand like she had done it a million times before. "Send me the results," Sesshoumaru instructed. As soon as he said it a list appeared. "Is this some kind of joke?" the demon asked in anger. "No sir, that's what we got," Kagura yawned. Sesshoumaru read the list and scowled. Kagura stifled a laugh at the expression on Sesshoumaru's face. "This is no laughing matter," Sesshoumaru growled. "I'm sorry sir," Kagura tried not to laugh. "Kagura I want you to track down the hacker, he erased half my files," Sesshoumaru instructed. Kagura regained her seriousness and her fingers gilded along the keyboard. "Sir, I can't track down the bastard who did this," Kagura frowned slightly in confusion. "Impossible," Sesshoumaru muttered. "Do a search again."

"Yes sir."

"…"

"The same list appeared again, what course of action do you want me to take?"

"…Try again later. Maybe then we'll have our chance at hacking into his data."

"Sir, I can't hear you," Kagura tapped her microphone and speaker. "You're fading," Sesshoumaru said as he tapped his camera. Kagura was disappearing from view and the computer flickered and shut down. "Damn," Sesshoumaru pushed the keyboard into the desk and rubbed his face. "…" Sesshoumaru got up and left his office, locking the door behind him and placed the key in his pocket. He checked up on Kagome who buried herself into her comforters. He went down stairs and stood in the lobby. He ignored the chill in the room and went into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a jug of milk. He placed it on the counter. Before he could shut the fridge it slammed shut almost hitting his fingers. "…?" He looked at it in confusion and opened it again to find the same action repeated. "Strange," He said to himself. He looked around the many cabinets for a cup but couldn't find it. "Where the hell are the cups?" He asked hoping that his question would be answered. He heard a cabinet shut and turned around. A glass placed itself next to the milk. "This is getting old," Sesshoumaru mumbled as he filled the cup with milk.

InuYasha grinned at what he did in the demons office. He knew no one could see or sense him; of course he didn't want people to know. He skimmed through Sesshoumarus files and randomly deleted one at a time. Feeling satisfied he disappeared in evanescence. He reappeared at the top of the chandelier where he had been spending most of his time. He could feel Sesshoumaru's energy in the kitchen. Oh how he loathed the demon. He growled under his breath knowing no one could hear him if they didn't listen hard enough.

A/N and this is starting to get stupid. I'm running out of events. Like what InuYasha could do to tease Sesshoumaru. But if I make the events too big Sesshoumaru would leave. It is just pure common sense. If a spirit pushes you out of a balcony that's over a thicket of thorns that could kill you if you fell from a 2 story fall, would you leave? Duh, I would. Not. I'd stay if I wanted to.

He hated Sesshoumaru from the first moment he saw him. He could tell that this man was his 'suppose to be reincarnation'. He sure had the look and heart. But Sesshoumaru didn't become his reincarnation. He was born as soon as InuYasha died, but another was soon to be born with InuYasha's true soul. He wouldn't have his looks, but he'd at least have his heart. InuYasha vanished and went into the kitchen. He couldn't help but grin when Sesshoumaru tried drinking the milk but couldn't because the glass would float out of his hands and onto the counter. Someone was having their fun. Another spirit, maybe, but whose? "Sesshoumaru, what are you doing?" a females voice yawned as she entered the kitchen. Both demons turned to look at Kagome who opened the fridge. "…" InuYasha went from cheerful to depressed and angered. "…" He frowned at the miko who just waltz into his home and claimed it as her own. "I thought you were sleeping," Sesshoumaru stated finally able to drink his beverage. "I was, for 3 hours and now I'm awake. Do you have a problem with that?" Kagome slightly sneered at her spouse who ignored her. He left the room without saying anything and went back into his office. Kagome heard the click of the door and flinched. "Jerk," She whispered putting back the orange juice she took out. It was around 6:30 pm. The sun was still out and the sky was cloudless. "Maybe I should swim, I haven't entered the swimming pool since I moved here 4 weeks ago," Kagome went up into her room to get her swimsuit.

A/N yes four weeks. Maybe even longer I don't remember. Time sure does fly huh?

Maybe I should tell him where I'm going, Kagome debated with her self as she stood at the doorway of the back doors. "He won't care, it's not like he'll join me," Kagome pouted and went out the door. She stood at the edge of the pool and looked into the crystal clean water. It didn't hit her that someone had kept it clean for her. She untied her bathrobe and placed it on the ground next to her and looked down at her suit. She hadn't worn it in so long and she was surprised that it still fitted her. It was a two piece suit that she hadn't worn since she was in college. It was dark blue with different shades of blue flowers. The style was 2004, a really old style to their time. I need to get a new one…no one wears bikinis anymore, they just go around naked…EW…Kagome shivered at the thought of her and Sesshoumaru frolicking on the beach naked. She didn't like that idea of that image. In fact Kagome always tried her best to keep her 'sacred' regions covered as much as possible. She lowered herself into the pool and shivered. The water was cold but it was nice to come in contact with pool water again. She held her breath and dove into the water. Going from the 3 foot area down to the 12 foot.

A/N I don't really know how to swim but I LOVE swimming! LDS doesn't though…poor her…she hates water. I point and laugh!

Kagome could see fine under the water with her goggles. The sunlight made it seem much nicer under the water. She skimmed the across the pool floor with her hands, letting out air once in a while. She noticed something etched into the floor and took a closer look. She couldn't make out the kanji but she made out a heart. Must be the previous owners, she thought as she let out another bubble from her mouth. She looked up at the surface and near the sun. Her lungs were starting to hurt but decided to stay under water a little longer. "…" Kagome let out another bubble. "Kagome…" a quiet voice whispered into the water. "…?" Kagome looked around. "Kagome…!" the voiced whispered stronger. Kagome's lung started to burn harder now and she pushed off the pool bottom to swim to the surface. "Kagome, what are you doing? Stay and play with me!" a little boy's voice giggled. Kagome didn't feel alone in the pool. She felt like someone was swimming along with her. She started to slow down against her will; it felt like someone tied weights to her feet. Why didn't I go up to the surface when my lungs gave me a warning?! Kagome kicked herself mentally as an involuntary air bubble escaped her throat. She was getting closer to the surface. "Kagome, why are you leaving? Stay a little longer! I want to play!" The voice continued. Kagome saw someone standing at the edge of the pool. Kagome fought like hell to reach the surface. She couldn't move as fast as she wanted but she made it to the edge of the pool. She popped out of the water coughing at the person's feet; some water came out of her mouth splashing the ground.

Gasping, she looked up at the stranger. He looked down at her with blue eyes; eyes that could easily rival the shade of the moon at night. They were cold eyes, and they didn't make Kagome feel any better. "Who…who are you?" She asked, clinging to the side of the pool. "…" The man only looked down at her. He had the same colored hair as her mate, but he had dog ears. The man leaned down to her height on his knees, putting his weight onto his hand that rested on his knee. He stared at her unmoving. Kagome gasped when she recognized his face. "It's you…! From my dream!" Kagome held her throat remembering what he did to her. InuYasha growled a bit baring his teeth. Kagome opened her mouth to call out for Sesshoumaru but when she looked back from his office window and to the stranger he was gone. "…?" Kagome looked around for the stranger but couldn't find him.

Sesshoumaru sighed in rage and walked back out of his office. There was nothing he could do to retrieve his files that were erased. Who are what did it didn't leave any signs that he had been there. Besides a very faint scent that lingered everywhere in the house. But that scent had been there since Kagome and he had moved in. Now what am I do to? There is no possible way to get my files back; everything I had worked on in the Demon Council is gone. Sesshoumaru ran his hand through his long silver hair and walked into his room. He removed his buttoned up shirt and tossed it onto the floor. He sat on the bed and rubbed the side of his head. He groaned and stood up, still rubbing his head. He went over to the balcony and looked out to where Kagome was. She didn't know he was there so he could watch her all he wanted. She was swimming around the edges of the pool, backstroking at the shallow end. Getting bored of what she was doing he looked over the maze. It was a fairly large maze with many twists, turns and dead ends. It all led to the exit located next the entrance and most of the paths led to the center. A fountain was in the center, and a statue of a woman stood at the top. She looked melancholy and she was in a Shinto priestess outfit. She had a bow and arrow which was half drawn. Her hair was down and 'blew' so carefree into the 'wind'. She looked very familiar to Sesshoumaru but he didn't know who.

"You don't care for her," a voice seemed to say in his mind. "Worthless, you're no better than a mere mortal," it hissed at Sesshoumaru. The demon ignored this voice knowing no one was with him. "You're not even a true demon, you married a human girl," the voice continued. Sesshoumaru growled under his breath. I married Kagome because I wanted to, he told himself leaving the balcony. "You don't even love her and she knows that." The voice said stronger. Do not mock me and my ways, Sesshoumaru rubbed his forehead. "Everything she thinks is true is a lie," The voice hissed into Sesshoumaru's ear.

InuYasha followed Sesshoumaru around telling him the truth of his reality and heart. He couldn't see into the demons heart, but he knew exactly how he was. After all, he used to be that too when he was Kikyou. "You don't know how to care for your mate, you don't know how to love," InuYasha continued, making Sesshoumaru growl. "Stay away from!" Sesshoumaru growled as he made his way to the bed. His head was hurting and he felt like he was walking on ground that spun beneath his feet. He fell onto his bed feeling fatigued. The bed was soft. The softest bed he ever felt. Why did he always go to a hotel or slept on the couch? All the other beds weren't comfortable to sleep on so why did he use those instead of sleeping in the same bed with his mate? He didn't understand…

InuYasha watched the older demon fall asleep. He never knew why his remaining soul was put into Sesshoumaru and he didn't like it either. Why put it in a demon that was exactly like him? Didn't he deserve better than that? But he did feel better about putting Sesshoumaru into line; InuYasha now knew he was stronger than him. Maybe not physically but psychologically Sesshoumaru was no match for the spirit.

"Oi," Sango sat up as she buttoned up her shirt. "See, what did I tell you?" Miroku grinned rubbing his shoulder. "Yeah, nice and gentle, just as you said," Sango stuck her tongue out at him. "But you didn't have to tackle me like that you know."

"I'm sorry, next time I won't do anything."

"B-but..!"

"I'm only joking Sango-Chan."

"Humph! Don't do that please!"

"You're not one to say please, what happened to you?"

"I got nicer."

"Well what ever happened to you, Sesshoumaru-sama needs the same thing."

"You can say that again. Speaking of Sesshoumaru, that reminds me, is Kagome-san alright?"

"Yes, quite fine since you woke her from her nightmare."

"…That reminds me. I still need to tell you about what happened to me earlier."

"Go on."

"Okay, I tried asking the spirit why he was there and he wouldn't answer. I found that rude by the way, so anyway, I tried again a few more times. This time he started growling at me. Then I said I only wanted to help him and he wouldn't respond. I waited and then he tried strangling me," Sango stopped at the look on his face.

"He did?! Why!?" Miroku grabbed Sango by the shoulders. She shrugged his hands off and took a step back. "I'm clearly fine, Miroku," She said. "Just let me continue; this'll help us a great deal we may know why he's still in this realm."

"As I was saying, he was strangling me and was mocking my exact voice, and what I was saying. He said…

"Why are you here?" The spirit mocked. "I only want to help," he continued, mimicking Sango's exact voice. "No one can save me, no one!" The spirit gripped Sango's throat tighter as she screamed. Sango couldn't hear her voice, but she knew Kagome and Miroku would come to her rescue. "M-Miroku!" she gasped for air. "Hoping your love will come to save you? He won't, no one can hear you scream for your life, a life relying on love to help you through," The voice said in Sango's voice.

Miroku listened to her story and when she finished he nodded. "It seems he had a tragic experience with the emotion love. Do you have any idea what kind of trouble?" He asked.

"No, nothing happened that gave me any hints. I only know that he may hate whoever he loved. Do you think that's why he's still here? And bothering Kagome and Sesshoumaru? Because they're married?"

"I had the same experience you had Sango."

"He tried to strangle you too!?"

"No, slapped me remember?"

"…Hai."

"He may be trying to kill us because we show our affections for each other publicly, like hugs and kisses. He may not like that."

"May? I think it's clear he hates it, he's probably not sure if Sesshoumaru and Lady Kagome are even together. I wouldn't even if I saw those two holding hands; Sesshoumaru is so serious he probably doesn't even know he's married."

"Poor Kagome-san and she doesn't have a clue that he doesn't really love her…"

"Hai…now we need to go to our next client," Miroku let the barrier down and walked out; Sango tagging along behind him. "Miroku…give me your hand," Sango took his hand and kissed it. "I love you," she said as she intertwined her fingers with his. "…" Miroku smiled and stroked her hand with his thumb gently tightening his grip on her hand. "Love you too," he said. They walked out through their hidden area and towards a house at the corner of the road. This house was haunted by a ghost that wouldn't leave the spot where she had died. She talked with the family and they knew her well. She had said it was her time to move on, but she needed help. Her name was Mayu. She was raped and killed; she was also burned in the crime and she had taken all the blame for what had happened. She knew she wasn't supposed to walk around at night alone. She didn't carry any source of weaponry, and she was weak. And she knew that. That was all Sango and Miroku knew about Mayu, but it wasn't really enough. Sango knocked on the client's door and there was silence before someone answered it. A little girl had answered the door. She looked no older than 11. She had short hair that was tied at the back. She smiled at them. "Mom, Dad! The exorcists are here!" She scampered away to get her foster parents. "Tch," Sango muttered. "What?" Miroku whispered through the corner of his mouth. "She could've at least let us in," Sango whispered back just as the girls parents came. "Satsuki, why don't you go summon Mayu?" The old woman suggested. "Yes ma'am!" Satsuki went away again. Sango and Miroku were let in. "My Lord and Lady, please have seat," The old man gestured to a comfy looking couch.

A/N Lol, does any one remember the show the Big Comfy Couch? -

They sat down and looked politely around the room. It seemed like an ordinary home. Satsuki came back and stood next to her legal guardians. "Where is the spirit?" Sango asked with a small smile. Satsuki giggled and pointed behind Miroku. Sango looked at Miroku and snorted from laughter. A girl about the age of 10 had her arm resting on Miroku's head while the other tugged at his ear. The spirit let go of Miroku who rubbed his ear absent minded. She smiled at the guests and bowed. "Hello, I am Mayu," she said standing upright again. "Hello Mayu, I understand that you want us to finally lay you to rest?" Miroku said what he knew. "Yes M'Lord, I've been here for over 50 years without any reason. I don't know why I couldn't leave this realm, but something has kept me from moving on, I want you to help me," Mayu sat in a rocking chair in the corner of the room.

"We will, but we need to know more about you first so we can help you 100 and not just stick a sutra on you and make you go away," Miroku explained. "Yes, we normally use sutras and spells but it only makes spirits go away for a while and then they come back," Sango added.

"Alright, do you want me to tell you how I died?"

"We know you were murdered and that's about it," Miroku lied. Liar, you know she was raped, burned and killed! Sango kicked Miroku's foot. I know, but if we know more about her death it may help us. Miroku said to Sango. Fine, what ever Sango sighed.

"Well…my mom and I never really got along that well, and we fought a lot…" Mayu said. "We were arguing and I threatened to run away. She yelled back at me Fine see if I care, you'll come crawling back soon enough! That's what she said. I yelled back at her and ran out of the house. I really meant to run away that time. So I didn't go back on my word this time. I was walking down the street near here and I was snatched up by two men. I couldn't escape; I was only 10 mind you. They tried being nice to me so I wouldn't be scared but I knew what was going to happen. That's what happens when you watch a lot of crime TV. Well they raped me and burned me with lighters and cigarettes. Then…they killed me…" Mayu looked really hurt. "Is it the murder that bothers you and binds you to this world?" Miroku asked sounding like a doctor. "Not really," Mayu answered. Satsuki crawled into Mayu's lap and Sango raised and eyebrow. "I'm really mature for the look of my age. I'm like an older sister to her," Mayu explained. "It's that I don't even know if my mother cared that I died. I came to this place hoping my mom would come looking for me here. A passerby found my body, and I know a funeral was held for me. But I don't know if my mother attended it or not because I couldn't even attend it," Mayu finished her story. "…" Everyone was quiet. "So you want us to go get your mother?" Sango asked. "If it's too much to ask then I can stay for the rest of eternity here, I've been 'living' peacefully here since my death, I took every blame and fault in my life and circumstances of my death. Other than that I just want to know if my mother even cared about me," Mayu shrugged.

"We can handle the job, where does your mother live?" Miroku asked standing up. "I'd show you but I bonded myself into this general area. I will lead you close enough to where she lives, I'm sorry that's all I can do for you," Mayu apologized. "That's quite alright, Sango can find it with no problem," Miroku announced. "I can?" Sango asked standing up. "You can see her memory of where she lived, it shouldn't be a problem to find it by sight," Miroku explained taking Sango's hand. "Oh…okay," Sango stuttered as Miroku took her hand and put it on Mayu's forehead. "Mayu, think of your old home if you'd be so kind," Miroku directed. Mayu nodded and Sango's eyes went vacant. "…" Sango's mouth opened a little as Miroku held onto her wrist. "Okay, thank you," Miroku took her hand away as Sango went limp. She swayed a bit and snapped out of her daze. "Wow, your house is really nice," Sango smiled. "Thank you, sadly I haven't set foot in it since I died," Mayu stated. "I want your house," Sango announced as Miroku took Sango out of the house by her arm.

"So Sango where is this so called dream house?" Miroku asked. "Right there," Sango pointed to a small house. Miroku raised and eyebrow. "That's the 'dream house'?"

"Yes, now come on we need to go get Mayu's mom, how old would she be?"

"I don't know it's been 50 years. She may have died," Miroku said as they walked up the steps.

They knocked on the door and a 20 year old looking woman answered the door. The two were a little confused. "Mayu's mom??" Sango asked with a confused look on her face. "Mayu? Who's Mayu?" the woman asked. "Mayu, you're daughter, or are you her…baby…cousin?" Sango waved her hand. "I don't know anyone by the name of Mayu, are you sure you have the right house?" The woman asked. "Yes," Sango and Miroku both nodded. "Well thank you anyway," Miroku turned and walked down the steps taking Sango with him. "What-hey! We're not done!" Sango said in half yell as she was dragged down the steps.

"Sorry Mayu…" Miroku apologized as he neared her. "Quite alright Lord Monk," Mayu smiled sweetly. "I'm not a monk by the way," Miroku corrected. "Sorry Lord Miroku," Mayu chuckled. "She must've passed away, and I didn't attend her funeral. Maybe we'll see each other in the after life, if I am able to cross-over. Do you think you will be able to check the cemetery, if it's not too much to ask," Mayu asked. "We will gladly see to it," Miroku bowed. "Thank you ever so," Mayu bowed back. "…" Sango sighed and took Miroku by the hand and led him out the door. "We'll come back soon," She said quietly.

"Sango what's wrong?" Miroku asked as they looked at tomb markers in the cemetery. "Nothing…" Sango whispered. "I know you're lying, please tell me, unless you really don't want to talk about it," Miroku offered as he rubbed Sango's back. "…" Sango stopped in front of a two tomb markers. "She did care about Mayu," She said. She knelt down to read the marker next to Miroku.

"Himisaki, Suzu

January 3 1945-January 3, 2037

'I will always hold those I love in my heart, please tell my daughter that…

… That she will always be remembered"

-Suzu

"…"Sango wiped her eye and stood up and began to walk back to Mayu's 'home'. "Sango, where are you going?" Miroku jogged to catch up with her. "Back to Mayu so I can tell her that her mom did care and attend her funeral. Where else would I go?" Sango said as though she didn't care. "Sango," Miroku tried to comfort. He knew why she was upset. "I thought you had gotten over that," Miroku pointed out.

"Maybe I haven't. So sue me."

"I won't."

"I didn't mean to really sue me," Sango shrugged his hand off her shoulder.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, you weren't there when it even happened."

"You showed me your memory, so I felt like it was really there."

"…" They walked up the steps to Mayu's home where they were greeted by Satsuki. She giggled and led them in. "Mayu…Suzu-sama did attend your funeral. And on her tomb marker she even said to let you know she'll always hold those she loved close to her heart, even you," Sango said sadly. "…Thank you Milady and Lord, maybe tonight I'll be able to finally rest in peace, and see my mom in the next world," Mayu smiled gently as she petted Satsuki's head. "…" Sango slightly lowered her head. "There is a matter of payment?" Satsuki's guardians asked. "No, just keep it," Miroku said as he wrapped an arm around Sango and led her out the door. The family didn't object to it as they left.

"…" Sango remained quiet the whole way back to Kagome's home her head hung slightly low in sadness. "Will you be alright?" Miroku asked as he took out to the Shikon Mansion to unlock the door. "Yeah…I'll be fine," Sango responded as she slowly walked in. She removed her shoes and shut the door. "Are you sure?" Miroku continued. "You're beginning to annoy me; can you just not…talk to me for awhile?" Sango asked. "Surely, anything to help you feel better," Miroku went into the kitchen hoping to find Kagome. "Lady Kagome?" He said into the air as he looked around. He caught a glimpse of Sango walking to her room. He continued to look around the house, not even thinking about the pool.

Sango opened the bedroom door and walked in. She gasped when she saw a figure standing by the window. "Sesshoumaru-sama why are you in here?" She asked as she closed the door behind her. "I live here, I can go where I want," Sesshoumaru said as he turned to look at her. "No you don't," Sango sneered. "I bought this place, don't speak to me like that; you have no right or power in this house to talk that way to me. I'm the master of this house," Sesshoumaru bragged returning to look out the window.

"No, I don't think so," Sango shook her head forgetting about her past. She could hear low growling by her ear, and she knew the spirit returned. "Someone here objects, he's the real master of this house, not you. Besides Kagome's the one taking care of it, she lives here," Sango pointed out.

"Shut your mouth. You are of lower status than me; you have no right to be here."

"Kagome-san is okay with us staying here, I'm not so sure about you though."

"Watch your tongue wench…!" Sesshoumaru growled looking at her; he was baring his teeth at her.

"…" Sango could only grin. The spirits growls were growing louder. "This is my home," the spirit growled. "You'll never own my home," he continued.

InuYasha had to agree on everything the woman had just said. The girl… 'Sango' had proven a useful point. The so called Kagome didn't really like the idea of Sesshoumaru returning home; even when she said she missed him so much. "Do you really believe I'd let you live in the home I worked my own ass off to build?" InuYasha growled even though no one could hear him talk unless they really listened. Sango could only smirk at what she could hear. Nothing was coming from Sesshoumaru but what the spirit was saying. Boy she couldn't help but smirk. The room seemed to freeze in time and the room went cold. "Wench I don't know what powers you have but you can't harm me or else my wife will kick you out," Sesshoumaru said when he noticed the room went cold when Sango took a step closer. "I can if I wanted to, but if I did they'd probably kill you they're so strong. Besides I don't want to make Kagome-san angry, she's more powerful than any of us," Sango sneered. The whole sentenced she just said was a lie. I can't use my powers at the moment but if I bluff enough maybe he'll leave. Damn it I hate this! Sango growled under her breath. "Can you jut leave me alone? I want to take a tiny nap," Sango asked trying not to sound mad.

InuYasha glared at Sango. Why does she have to sleep in here? Sesshoumaru looked at Sango one last time before leaving the room and slamming the door behind him. Sango sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Damn emotions…can't do anything when they're around," Sango looked at the palm of her hand. It was drenched with sweat and her whole body was shaking. She walked over to her bed and lied down on her back. She stared up at the silver ceiling. The room was spinning to her eyes and she felt sick.

Miroku looked out the back door window. The whole back door was glass. He spotted Kagome swimming around in the pool before diving down into the clear chlorine depth. He smiled and walked out of the door and towards the pool. He stood at the edge and followed Kagome's movements in the water. She wasn't that far down into the water but she didn't notice Miroku yet. "Wow…that's an old style swimsuit there Kagome!" He laughed knowing Kagome could've possibly heard him. She didn't swim up to the surface so she didn't hear him. "Hm," he removed his shoes and socks and kicked them aside. He removed his shirt and got down onto his hands and knees. He dunked his head down into the pool. "Kagome!" he yelled into the water. It came out as bubbles but it at least made some sound. Kagome was on the other side of the pool and she did hear him that time. She spun in the water clearly startled. She saw Miroku and stopped. Air bubbles escaped and she swam to the surface. Miroku lifted his head out and smiled and wiped his face. "Lady Kagome have you been swimming all day?" he asked. Kagome blushed and clung to the side of the pool. "No, just for about an hour now, why?" Kagome asked. "Just wondering because your skin doesn't even look pruned like a dried out raisin thingy," Miroku shrugged standing up. Kagome covered her eyes and looked away. "What?" Miroku asked.

"Please put your shirt on." Kagome blushed under her hand.

"Why? There's nothing to see but my own skin, and your skin. Why is your bathing suit such an old style?"

"Well. Never mind but please put your clothes back on, and my suit is like this because I don't like going around naked like other girls do. I'm modest about my body."

"If you were modest than why are you wearing a bikini and not a one piece?"

"Because they don't sell those anymore but at old people stores. Now will please put your shirt back on I haven't known you that long and I see you half naked!"

"What about you Miss Modest? You have on a tiny bikini!"

"It's all I have!"

"Whatever you say Lady Kagome," Miroku picked up his shirt and put it back on. Kagome swam over to Miroku's feet and treaded water. "So where's Sango?" She asked looking up at Miroku. "She…I think went up to her room I think why?" Miroku asked. "Well for one thing I don't see her with you. I just wanted to know," Kagome said as she climbed out of the pool. "So how'd work go for you?" she asked as she rubbed her hair with a towel. Miroku only gaped at her his eyes scanned her body. "Uh…." Was the only thing he could manage from his throat. "Hm?" Kagome looked at him through the corner of his eye. "What are you gawking at?"

"N-nothing," Miroku stammered not removing his eyes from her. Kagome's face went cheery red. "Pervert!" She slapped him across the face and took her towel and wrapped it around herself. "I'm sorry Lady Kagome, I couldn't resist," Miroku apologized taking a step back. "Just stay that far away from me until I get my clothes on," Kagome warned. "For what it's worth Lady Kagome, you have a very nice body, not a blemish anywhere, smooth skin and nice curves," Miroku commented. "…" Kagome looked at her friend and smiled a little. "Do you say that to every girl you see naked on the beach? Or do you just say that to get laid?"

"No I don't. I'm not as perverted as Sango says I am. In fact I only told what I had just said to you to very few girls. Sango was the first, and you were my last. I'm working on my perverted ways to be the perfect husband for Sango," Miroku explained.

"Well…thank you. No one has commented me in anyway besides the normal 'you have pretty eyes', or 'you're cute'. But since I married Sesshoumaru I haven't heard anymore of those things, not even from him. In fact he never said I was cute in anyway," Kagome said as she secured the towel around her. "…Well I hope I just made your day a lot brighter, come on I'll walk you inside. I'll be a gentleman," Miroku held out his arm for Kagome to link onto. Kagome looked at it and smiled. "I'll let you off the hook this time, but after this you can't stand even 3 feet near me. Deal?" she negotiated as she took Miroku's arm and held her towel with the other. "Deal," Miroku and Kagome walked into the house.

"…" Sango rubbed her eyes and looked around the ceiling again. It still felt like it was spinning. "Damnit I fucking hate this," She held her wrist and clenched her hand into a fist and closed her eyes. "Happy place, happy place, happy place, happy place," she whispered to her self. She gripped her wrist tighter and repeated it again. "Happy place…happy place…" She told herself.

Sesshoumaru sat in his chair in his office. "Wench…" he muttered. He hated Sango. Invading his home. He bought the place so that would make it his not Kagome's. Kagome only lived there because she had no choice. "Then again, if she did not want to live here, to live with me, then she would've said no to marrying me in the first place, if she knew she would end up marrying me she wouldn't have said yes to dating me," Sesshoumaru said to himself. Sesshoumaru spun in his chair staring into space. Things he heard in his mind were catching up to him and he spun faster, what Sango had said was catching up to him and he spun even faster. "Damn her to hell," he said. "Damn her to hell." He stopped and scooted his chair over to the window to look out it. He looked down at the maze that was in front of the balcony. Who had built it and why? Who really lived here? And who was the woman that stood in the middle of the maze; mysterious as she was, she looked so familiar to him, and she seemed to stare back even though her face wasn't directed at Sesshoumaru, he could feel someone staring at him. Soon he drifted off to sleep…and his dreams awakened…

Sesshoumaru found himself standing in front of the statue in the maze. "...?" He looked up at her wondering who she was and why she was built there. "Lovely image is it not?" A voice asked from behind him. He turned around to see Kagome. "Kagome?" Sesshoumaru said aloud not even sure if it was her. "Yes?" Kagome tilted her head like she was some animal. "Who is this woman?" Sesshoumaru asked pointing up to the statue. Kagome looked up at her and smiled. A smile that was neither good nor evil. "Can you not tell who I am? That is me," Kagome smiled walking up to the statue and placed her hand on the foot; the closest thing she could reach and not fall into the fountain. "That's not you," Sesshoumaru said growing suspicious. Kagome turned half way to look at him. Her eyes were cold and empty. "Your speech has changed, and you act so different," Sesshoumaru said glaring at her. "Maybe because you are never home to see how I am. Maybe…I am not who I am," Kagome continued. "Or maybe…You're blind," She said in a stronger voice. "I am not blind, clearly you are not the Kagome I know of," Sesshoumaru pointed out looking Kagome in the eye. "…"Kagome smiled. "What a smart dog you are," She laughed. "What?" Sesshoumaru was getting confused. "Who are you?" he asked. "I am who I said I am," Kagome continued looking up at the statue. "I am Kagome."

"Prove to me then that you are her, and I will believe you," Sesshoumaru demanded.

"…I'm enjoying this conversation."

"Stop smiling and prove to me you're my wife; Kagome."

"I am sorry, but there's no way I can prove that to you, because you know nothing."

"What do you mean by nothing?"

"I was wrong about you being a smart dog. All of you are the same, that's why I had to get rid of him."

"Him? Who's him?"

"…" Kagome only grinned.

"Answer me wench. Get rid of whom?"

"You're just like him. Ignorant and too self-involved. You are naive to what is going on around you, too blind to see the truth of you heart, that's why I had to get of him."

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

Kagome walked up to him and smiled. "Do you really want to know I am? Who 'him' is?"

"Tell me or I shall slice your throat."

"…"Kagome's smile broadened. "I am Kagome. 'Him'…is you."

"What? That doesn't make any sense."

Ignoring his last sentence Kagome put her hands gently on the sides of Sesshoumaru's face. "Nothing in this world of mine makes sense…I'll have to do this again until you realize it," She sighed. "Do what again?" Sesshoumaru asked not moving from his spot. "So ignorant," Kagome sighed again. "I'll have to kill you again," She smiled. "Kill me?" Sesshoumaru echoed. Kagome continued to smile and her grip on Sesshoumaru's face tightened. "It'll be just like last time." Kagome giggled.

Miroku shut the door behind him when Kagome walked in. "So where is your clothes?" he asked as Kagome started to walk out the kitchen. "Upstairs in my room, where else?" Kagome said over her shoulder. "Well I'm stupid," Miroku laughed. "I know," Kagome said as she walked up the steps. "I'm going to see what Sango's doing, and then I'm going to grab something to eat okay?" Miroku said as he followed Kagome. "Sure, just don't eat everything out of the fridge, and you still need to change all the pillows back to their original colors, Miroku," Kagome said as she walked into her room and shut the door. Miroku didn't say anything and went into his room.

Sango was lying on the bed still saying 'happy place'. Her hand still gripped her wrist but had moved to touch her forehead. "Sango are you alright?" Miroku asked as he slowly shut the door then walked over to Sango's bedside. "Yeah…just getting harder to control," Sango whimpered. "Will you let me near?" Miroku asked crawling onto the bed. "…" Sango looked at him and nodded. Miroku took her hands and held them in his; he bent down and kissed her. Sango closed her eyes and kissed back. Miroku pulled away slowly and smiled. "Better?" He asked. Sango smiled back and nodded. "Thank you," She said quietly and kissed him again. "Quiet welcome," Miroku settled himself next to Sango wrapping his arms around her. Sango shifted so she could face him. "I love you," she said. "I love you too," Miroku chuckled kissing her on the head.

Kagome pulled her shirt down and brushed her hair. She didn't bother to shower at the moment she was going to shower before she was going to bed. She was wearing dark jeans that had a giant hole on one knee. She had on a light green tang top with wood stock from the Peanuts. She had a black jacket over that.

A/N Ha-ha, LDS is wearing that right now, I didn't have any idea on what Kags should wear so I just looked off someone. And hold on, I'm being forced to bring LDS's dog inside. Damn the cold weather I hate you! Me back.

She walked out of the room and towards Miroku and Sango's room. She knocked on the door and waited for a response. "Hello? Is it alright if I come in?" She asked. "Yes!" Miroku answered. Kagome opened the door and stepped in and froze. She saw Miroku and Sango lying in bed and she blushed. "Oops, I didn't mean to interrupt and anything," She giggled and covered her eyes. Sango looked at Kagome over her shoulder and shut the concentrated on the door. It shut behind Kagome and made her jump. "Sorry didn't mean to make you jump," Sango apologized. Miroku let go of Sango and rolled off the bed. Kagome blushed when Miroku looked at her. "What?" Sango asked when she rolled over to face Kagome. "N-nothing," Kagome stuttered. "She's just embarrassed that I saw her in a bikini," Miroku said walking passed Kagome and patting her back. "Want anything to eat?" he asked both the girls. "No thank you," Kagome said still hiding her face. "You Sango?" Miroku looked at Sango. "Yeah; you," She said. Miroku blushed. "There," Sango waved her arm once pointing at Miroku. "Pay back for making Kagome-san blush and seeing her in a bikini," Sango nodded and snuggled into her pillow. "Yeah, I want a sandwich," Sango corrected herself. Miroku continued to blush and went downstairs. Kagome followed him.

Okay I'm done; this chapter anyway. I made it longer than it should've been but that's okay. 8scratches behind ear8 yeah…I'm on a writers block. Damn you my head of mine! THINK OF SOMETHING!!!!!! When I come up of how to start chapter four I'll start typing it.

Well I have things to say to my five reviewers.

Thank you for R&R no matter how boring the fan fic is starting to get. The last chapter I promise you'll like. And you have 10 more chapters to get through. So yes I already wrote the last chapter. Warning to those who hate lemons: IT IS A LEMON. Well the climax part is anyway. But it's very short seeing I can't write lemons. So just bear with me if it stinks like rotten eggs.

And I need to kick 's ass. I can't even find my fanfic or even me if I wanted to in search. I have to log in and click on URL. That's starting to bug me seeing I have to do that just to see if anyone reviewed because I can't check my email anymore. I'll explain more on that later. Well I'll start typing chapter 4 whenever I can okay? Well Ja ne!
