yeah yeah I don't own inuyasha waaa ;-((

" WHAT!" Inuyasha jump from his place amongst the group. Miyouga fled from Inuyasha's knee to hide behind Sango's hair.
" Please Inuyasha sama I am just telling you the possiblities" before the little flea could hide again Inuyasha snatched him between his two fingers. " What do you mean she would have to be bonded to a strong demon through a blood bond?" Inuyasha was practically squeezing Miyouga to death.
- a blood bond huh?, ......I wonder if I could be that demon at least then I would know she would be with someone safe- Inuyasha's thoughts wandered to the point he forgot he was holding a rather blue flea between his fingers.
" Please master,.... I can't breathe" Miyouga struggled in Inuyasha's grasp until he came back to reality.

"INUYASHA!" sango spoke up to try and rescue the gasping flea. Inuyasha looked up at sango with hazy eyes before he came to, and dropped the slightly purple flea.

" what on earth were you thinking of Inuyasha?" Shippou piped in staring curiously at Inuyasha from his knee.

Inuyasha popped shippou on the head. He stood up affectively dropping shippou causing one more lump to form as he rolled off his lap and landed on his head.
" It's none of your buisness brat" He than jumped into a near by tree to think on things a little more.

" He has been given a great deal to think about, ......let's leave him alone for a while" Miroku's voice of reason stepped in and they all agreed and turned their attention to making dinner.

---------------------------------------------------------------

-kukuku, such fools she is already bonded to me that tentacle I struck her with was laced in my blood, kukuku- Naraku watched the small group from Kanna's mirror.

" She could just remove the jewel and be free of you Naraku"
" Kagura, do you worry for this girl, or is it your own freedom you grave" Kagura stood leaning against one of the souji doors her fan resting by her side. Her eyes narrowed trying to burn through him. - one day Naraku, I will be free of you-
" I do not have to worry about that Kagura, unlike you she is dead without that jewel.......I peirced her heart with that tentacle.....kukuku"
" And I am sure Sesshoumaru will not allow the girl to die when his own life is tied with hers" Kagura turned in disguist of the evil hanyou, leaving the room for him to swim in his ego. - you will get yours someday Naraku-

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome woke with a sore arm, back and neck. She was curled in a fetal position under several heavy kimonos. - I can't believe I slept so long......man am I sore- She rubbed her neck and shoulders when her hand froze just below her neck.
-WHAT THE?- She felt around her back to feel what felt like small leathery wings. "AAAHHHHH!" she screamed in suprise when she heard a noise coming from the corner of her room.

" Keep it down Wench" Sesshomaru pushed himself off the wall and walked over to kagome, still clutching several kimonos to her small frame.
She couldn't be to safe,... after all the times she woke up naked. " Relax woman you are dressed" she gave a relieved sigh as she peeked under the covers to see that indeed she was fully clothed.

She watch him carefully as he crossed the room. Her face held many questions and her mind was straining to remember everything that happened.
She remembered Naraku's voice and the glass,.....Sesshomaru rushing into her room and then everything went black. Her curiousity was too much for her and she just had to ask.

" What happened last night Sesshomaru sama?"

He continued to walk toward the door not sparing her a glance as he opened her cell door and left the dungens.
" HEY! HEY YOU JERK COME BACK HERE!" she rushed to the door and was suprised to find it opened. Taking that as permission to leave her cell she pushed it open and walk down the same path Sesshomaru had just taken a few moments ago.

She had found her way out of the dungens and into an elaborate hallway painted in mountian scences and koi ponds.
-wow it is so beautiful, ......who would ever think someone like Sesshomaru would live in a place like this-
She continue to walk down the halls admiring all the beauty of her surrounding. So absorbed in it she wasn't really looking where she was going.
She came to an eprupt stop when she hit something solid. -oops-

Her eyes wandered up what appeared to be a tall white statue that had long bluish silver hair -wait silver hair?......oh no....I.didn't just-

Sesshomaru turned slightly to look down on her. His eyes seemed as cold as gold coins.
" WHO SAID YOU COULD LEAVE YOUR QUARTERS?" Sesshomaru's voice boomed at her from what felt like feet above her.
Kagome stepped back from the youkai lord looking over her shoulders to make sure she did not trip on anything as she made a way back down the hall.
" I....my cell door... was open.....I thought...." she continued to back up when Sesshomaru spoke up again. " Stop!" She froze, and stared at him for a moment neither moved. What was his problem first he didn't want her to leave her room now he didn't want her to go back. Sesshomaru turned to face her completely now and began to walk slowly up to her.
She still could not move even though that every fiber in her being told her to run. She could just watch as he came closer to her now shaking form.

She stared up at him with frightened lavander eyes. - what do I do now - Her eyes widened when his arm reached out and grabbed ahold of her injuried arm. She winced when he tightened his grip on her arm. It was still a little tender. He lifted her arm up to his eyes.
" It is healing well" -did he just show some small show of concern?- She just couldn't comprend this now.

He tossed her arm back at her and she cradled it to her body. -figures-

" Don't do it again" he turned back around to walk back into his study. He knew he was going to have his hands full with this one, but until he found a loop hole to this little arrangment he would have to keep her around.

" Hey, you didn't have to do that" still cradling her arm she decided that taiyoukai or not she was not going to let him get away with that.
She began to walk in the direction that Sesshomaru had just gone.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Miyouga sat around a fire deep in the Northern Mountains. " So Miyouga-Jiji you are saying that in order for Kagome chan to be free of Naraku she has to share a willing intimate bond with a powerful youkai?" Sango looked at Miroku and blushed when she said the word intimate and quickly looked back down at Miyouga.

" So what you are saying is that Kagome has to take on a willing youkai mate powerful enough to break the bond between her and Naraku" Miroku walked closer into the group before stopping behind Sango. " sounds intreguing " some how between leaving the tree he was leaning on to standing behind Sango his and found its way to her bottom.

" Hentai!"

Inuyasha heard the scream followed by a slap and a loud thud. - will that monk ever learn- His thoughts trailed from the monk to what the old flea was telling the group. - If what Miyouga jiji says is true then I really would have to give up on Kikyou, if I am the one to save Kagome- - would Kikyou understand that I had to do it or risk Kagome's life?- He blushed at the thought of having an intimate bond with Kagome, but decided that he would do it if it meant saving her life and freeing her from Naraku.
- I will not let him hurt another one, .....not again....not after Kikyou.-

He jumped down from his tree fully intent on telling the group of his plans. When a unwelcomed scent brushed past his noise.

" Hey! Mutt Face"
