Kagome was the first to awake. After last night's conversation with Inuyasha, she was thoroughly convinced he would always be childish. Boys will be boys, as they say. At least Sesshoumaru wasn't bugging her. Then it would have been hell.

She Looked around, and found that she was quite dirty. I'll go bathe in the spring, thought Kagome, it'll keep my mind off Inuyasha.

She stepped towards the spring near their campground, and found a rock to put her clothes. She undressed and let the cool water run over her. It calmed both her mind and body. Why does he have to be so childish? Sesshoumaru is working with us now. He really doesn't have either of his swords, and he couldn't have taken Tetsuigua. That demon must have been pretty strong to get past both of them....

Kagome turned around quickly. She heard something, like a person moving on the forest floor. Inuyasha! She thought, and immediatley exclaimed, "OSUWARI!"
She heard no thud. Instead she heard the sound again.

Cautiously Kagome approached the rock where she left her clothes, and put them on. She nocked an arrow, and looked around. "I don't know who you are... But you aren't getting near me!" she said. The next thing Kagome knew, she was speeding along in a man's strong and capable arms.

"Wha-? PUT ME DOWN!!" she screamed, and looked up at her captor. He was a man, a godly man. He looked like Sesshoumaru, except his hair was red instead of white and his eyes were pebbles not suns. Kagome felt herself blush slightly and looked down again.

"who are you and where are you taking me!?" she screeched, trying to wriggle free. But the man's arms were to strong for her, and she couldn't move. She stared up again, up at his eyes.
They were amazing. The more she stared at his eyes, the deeper she could see into him, his soul. She felt like she knew him. She felt as if she was him, and not Kagome. He looked down at her.

"don't worry. I won't kill you. And I'll make sure my sister doesn't either..." he said. Kagome didn't struggle any longer. She waas under his trance now, bound to do whatever he said.
Akaiinu stopped when he reached their camp, and laid Kagome down. His sister was currently torturing an animal with the tip of the toukijin, tkilling it. Then she would bring it back with Tensuigua, and then kill it again. She did it with a smile on her face.

"Hello brother! Did you pick your pet?" she asked, abandoning her animal and rushing towards Akaiinu.

"Yes sister. Don't kill her." Responded Akaiinu, sitting on the grass.

"I won't brother, as long as you don't kill mine!" she gave her brother a big hug. He smiled.

"so now what are we going to do, Akaiinu?" she said.

"The way I see it, we split the Shikon jewel. You can have two pieces for Tensuigua and Toukijin. I take two for Tetsuigua. Then we split the remainder and use them for ourselves" explained. Akaiinu.

Kuroinu nodded. "that sounds great! Gimme the jewel brother, I'll forge them into our swords!" exclaimed Kuroinu, grabbing the Shikon no tama before her twin could respond, and running off to find a secluded area.
