He walked into the area where Kaijinbou laid spitted in half. The young lord looked down at the lifeless body. 'Who did this?' Sesshomaru took a big whiff and smelled his brothers, a kituse, and two humans and a strong forest scent. 'Interesting. A forest scent. I wonder why a forest scent would be here of all places. Who's scent is it?'

Sesshomaru looked down at Kaijinbou and lifted up his right hand. Sesshomaru took a big whiff of the scents there. 'Who ever this female demon is, she smells lovely. Wait, where is the other human he travels with? I only smell two. Where is the miko's scent? Did she finally go home and away from my annoying half-brother and his clay pot?'

Sesshomaru stood up and gathered Tensegia and swung it above Kaijinbou's body. Little green toad looking things appeared and Sesshomaru struck them away. Kaijinbou started to stir. He opened his left eye and looked at Sesshomaru.

"Why did you bring one side of me back, Lord Sesshomaru?" Kaijinbou moved his left hand closer to Sesshomaru.

"Where is my sword?" The emotionless lord asked as he looked down at the split demon. Tensegia only brought back his right side. Repairing bodies that lay before him in half was one default the sword had. Not that the young lord cared.

"The spirit who now wields Tetsugia, the young heir who has the beauty even a goddess would be jealous of. She is with your half brother." Kaijinbou tried to get up with his one hand, but Sesshomaru pushed him down.

"Tell me who is this demon?" The cold lord asked. What was the use of hurting him? Touching him? It's not like he could feel anything.

"The one who travels with Inu Yasha, she was a miko but now she is the heir to the Southern Lands. Kagome is her name. Hiei's only daughter," Kaijinbou's eyes closed. He feel into a deep, un-waking sleep for eternity.

"Kagome. She's a human? How could that have happened? Lord Hiei's mate and daughter disappeared years ago."

"No it's not."

"It is too."

"Not, it's a stick."

"No it's a snake, Jaken."

"It's a snake." Sesshomaru looked behind him and saw Rin and Jaken fight over something.

"Sesshomaru -sama tell Jaken this is a stick." Rin yelled. The little girl who Sesshomaru protected looked at her guardian and gave in puppy eyes.

Sesshomaru walked over to them and looked at what they were fighting about. "It's a stick Jaken." Sesshomaru gathered Rin into his arms and Looked back at Jaken. Instead of seeing Jaken there is spied the stick moving. Sesshomaru froze. It was a snake. He knew that. How could anyone resist the little girl?

"This is just a nice one, Kagome. 'Yeah, Kagome go check out the jewel shard I sense this way and we'll go get the jewel shards this way.' Arg.. Kikyou you big stupid whore. Why in hell did I let you join the group? I must have gone crazy." Kagome walked through the forest looking for a jewel shard that Kikyou sensed that was this way. 'Four. Four days she has been here and already she is bossing us around. I hate this. I wanna go home. '

"Don't worry Kagome, that least I came with you to keep you company." Shippo said as he jumped on her shoulder. "Hay Kagome?"

"Yes, Ship?" Braches and twigs scattered out of the earth spirit's way. Nothing. No demon. No shard. Great.

"Can I call you mom?" Shippo's cheeks turned red and he looked away.

"Really? Me a mom? Wow I would be honored Shippo, my pup." Kagome and Shippo hugged each other and stated to walk again.

"Hey, mom, how fast can you run? Faster than Sesshomaru I bet." Shippo looked at Kagome and smiled. 'Mom suits me just fine. I think I will get used to this.'

"Hmm.. Lets see shall we?" Shippo nodded. "Alright hold on tight." Shippo gripped Kagome's neck tight and nodded. Kagome smiled and started at a slow pace then ran faster with all the earth's speed. Shippo's face was pulled back and his tongue flew out of his mouth. (AN: You know when cars go to fast their faces get pushed back? That's what it looks like.) Shippo was right, she could go as fast as Sesshomaru and probably faster.

Kagome started to slow down but couldn't completely stop since the grass was wet from the morning dew. "Shippo I can't stop." Kagome feet slide on the wet surface and she screamed. What she saw in front of her made her scream more.

He walked with a little girl I front of him picking flowers with little rain drops on then. Rin spotted a purple flower and pulled it out and put it with the rest. Jaken was beside Rin holding flowers as she went. Sesshomaru smiled one of his rare smiles. Rin had melted that cold heart and nuzzled her way into it.

"Shippo I can't stop." He heard a young woman yell. Sesshomaru looked to the right of him and saw a green and brown flash before it hit him. Sesshomaru had no time to dodge the girl as she hit face first into his chest sending him falling to the ground with her straddling his waist and her face by his neck. Sesshomaru blinked and sniffed the demon on him. 'The forest smell. It smells like a rich green forest after the rain.'

Kagome sat up and looked at the person she was on. 'Oh shit. It's Sesshomaru. He's gonna kill me. Hey. What's touching at my butt?'

Sesshomaru looked into the woman's eyes and was taken back. 'Wow!' Sesshomaru looked at her eyes and blinked. They were a deep, rich green. Her hands were on his chest. Sesshomaru couldn't take his eyes off her. His mouth was open but nothing came out.

"Uh.. Hi!" Kagome smiled and said innocently. 'What do I keep feeling on my butt?'

"Lord Sesshomaru? Are you okay?" Rin asked. Sesshomaru nodded slowly, keeping his eyes on Kagome.

"This is so embarrassing." Kagome mumbled as she glanced at Rin and smiled. Kagome felt something move on her butt again and began to wonder. She glanced down and saw Sesshomaru had his hands there.

"HENTAI."

Kagome slapped him and jumped off his waist. Kagome glared daggers at Sesshomaru. 'Well worth it.' Sesshomaru thought. Shippo went next to Rin and watched the two fight like kids.

"Hentai? Why do you call me that you wench?" Sesshomaru yelled.

"Wench? I am not some wench you half baked cow." Kagome countered. Rin looked at Sesshomaru. 'I think Sesshomaru likes her.' Rin smiled.

Shippo looked at his mom. 'Maybe I wont take Kagome more time to get over Inu Yasha. Maybe Sesshomaru can be her mate and my dad.'

Rin and Shippo looked at each other and smiled. Together they nodded. 'Alright Mission: Get Sesshomaru and Kagome together.' They both thought.

"Cow? I am a inu demon, not some farm animal, you stupid bitch." Sesshomaru yelled.

"Bitch? You shouldn't have groped my butt. It's not your property. Don't touch it. I don't see your name on it. Don't touch it." Kagome yelled as she backed away slightly.

"You started this whole thing, woman."

"You didn't have to be a pervert."

"I am not a pervert." Sesshomaru calmed down and put his arms into his sleeves and looked away. "My hands just so happen to fall on your big ass." 'And squeeze that fleshy nice butt you have.' Sesshomaru added in his mind.

"Big? I think you are starting to like me Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome smiled at the look on Sesshomaru's face. His emotionless face didn't move a muscle. 'She knows? I do like her even when she was a human but now, she's a spirit and very gorgeous. Mating with her would make our pups full blooded demon with earth spirit powers.'

I think you love her.

Love? Maybe. But she doesn't feel the same way after I tried to kill her a bunch a times. Why am I even thinking about mating to her?

Your wrong, you tried to kill Inu Yasha not Kagome. Maybe you really do want to mate with her. I bet she would be good in bed.

Kagome? It suits her very well. Pervert.

Hey I am you so we are both perverts here.

Sesshomaru straightened up and looked at Kagome. Instantly he feel in love with that smile. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Shippo wanted to test how fast I was." Kagome replied. She turned away and looked at Rin and Shippo smile at each other like idiots.

"She just as fast as you are Sesshomaru -sama." Shippo said.

Mistress, something is coming this way and fast. Its another on of Naraku's offspring. Kagura. But she's with some other demon. Tetsugia spoke to Kagome in her head. Kagome looked at Tetsugia then at Sesshomaru.

'She has Tetsugia, this will be to good. I can have a mate and the sword. Mate? Do I really want her as a mate? Why is this Sesshomaru even thinking about it?'

Kagome grabbed Tetsugia and slowly turned around.

"AHHHH!"

Next Chapter: Sesshomaru gets to join the group and Kagome gets a surprise. Think you for your reviews. I need fifteen reviews to go. Did no one like my first chapter? I only got reviews for the second chapter. How weird.
