Chaoter 10- Sesshomaru's revenge...takes a turn?

A.n: Okay, this chapter is not what you think it is! Sesshomaru is probably way past the normal OOC standards, but I think that little Rin has worn off on poor Sesshomaru and hey it is my story and I'm writing this chappy at 2 AM in the morning and running on pure chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream and Dayquill so wish me luck and hope it's not nutty like I feel at the moment!

Inuyasha helped Kagome up the well and there, just like Kagome expected, was Shippo, Miroku and Sango. When Kagome and her yellow backpack were secure out of the well, Sango ran over to Kagome and gave her a gigantic hug. Miroku nodded at Inuyasha, who gave his a small smile in return.

"Listen, I'm sorry you guys..."

Sango shook her head and hugged her again. Shippo jumped on Kagome's shoulder and he smiled happily.

"Don't apologize, Kagome. It wasn't your fault, after all."

Shippo smiled at her and she ruffled his hair. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as Shippo got a serious look on his face and straightened his little blue bow and hair. Kagome laughed and Kilala bounded into her arms.

"Hello, Kilala."

The little demon kitty meowed a hello, jumped down out of Kagome's arms and transformed. Inuyasha looked at Shippo like he was expecting something and Shippo finally figured out what he wanted. Shippo jumped off of Kagome and transformed into his big pink bubble.

"Ready to go?"

Kagome nodded and she hopped on Kilala, along with Sango and the men got on Shippo. (A.n: That kind of doesn't sound right, but ignore it please!)

They headed off in the direction that they had come from and they were past the spot they had been at about an hour later. Kagome looked out at Inuyasha and he smiled slyly at her and a blush grew on her cheeks.

Kagome leaned forward to Sango and whispered in her ear...

"Hey, Sango...are you ever going to tell Miroku how you feel?"

Sango's eyes widened and she blushed a little, but she looked over her shoulder at Kagome.

"What do you mean?"

Kagome gave a incredulous look and rolled her eyes. She looked at Miroku, who was sitting indian style and looked out at the mountains.

"I mean...that ever since Inuyasha and I admitted our feelings for eachother, things have gone...quite pleasantly. I mean, maybe he won't look at other women anymore once he has you..."

Sango turned back around and she fell that her face had gone completely beat red. Kagome's words made sense and Sango wanted to believe them, but if Sango knew Miroku as well as she did...she was sure that he'd never stop being the lecher that he already was.

Sango looked at Miroku and she smiled to herself. It would be nice to have a man in her life that would love her and she wanted to believe that Miroku was the right one for the job, but...ugh...she was so confused.

Sesshomaru walked down a dirt trail and he was listening to the bitter argument that Rin and Jaken were having with eachother.

"I told you, Jaken...that pretty miko was nice to me and she didn't seem evil at all...anyway, Lord Sesshomaru seems to like her."

Jaken laughed and shook his head.

"You are mistaken, Rin. Lord Sesshomaru would never lower himself to like a weak mortal."

Rin put her eyebrow up.

"Well, what about me?"

Jaken stopped as he saw Sesshomaru turn around slowly. Sesshomaru had a small smirk on his face and he nodded at Jaken.

"Yes, what about little Rin, Jaken? She is, as you say, a weak mortal. So, why am I letting her hang around?"

Jaken looked up at his Lord and back at Rin. She was smiling and he had the feeling that he was missing something important. Sesshomaru turned back around and began to walk again. Ever since his last encounter with Kagome, all he could do was think about her...but lately, when he'd catch her scent, it was different then before. Her scent was being covered by something else and he knew what that was. She had been claimed, but he didn't know if it was Inuyasha or the wolf leader Koga.

Sesshomaru had his reasons for why he was catching Kagome's scent. He was tracking them and not to kill them...oh no...the reason was so insane and so un-Sesshomaru that he was really thinking that he was going insane himself.

The wind picked up and he caught someone else's scent. A person that had been following him for a long time and they weren't going to give up without a fight.

The group landed on the bank of flowing stream about an hour later. Shippo was complaining that Inuyasha was too heavy and he needed a rest. Kagome sat with Sango and Inuyasha was off by himself, but for a reason. He smelt something on the wind.

Inuyasha turned to where Miroku was and called him over.

"Do you sense anything strange?"

Miroku closed his eyes and nodded.

"I do...it's a demon aura. A powerful one too...can't say where it's coming from though..."

"Hey, what's going on?"

Kagome came up next to Inuyasha and stared in the direction they were staring.

"Do you sense any jewel shards?"

Kagome shook her head and kept staring. She did feel something though. It was strong, yet faint at the same time...but it was familiar. Kagome felt the wind pick up again and the feeling got stronger and then, she knew what it was...or better yet, who it was.

"Sesshomaru."

Inuyasha jerked his head to the trees and growled lightly. He grasped Tetsusiga's hilt and pulled out his sword.

Suddenly, a blurr of white and Sesshomaru appeared before them. Inuyasha snarled and leapt at him...only to be brought down by Kagome's words...

"SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha's face met the little wormies in the ground and he grumbled some swear words. Kagome got closer to Sesshomaru.

"What do you want, Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru grinned evily and pointed his hand to the trees from which he came from. A flick of his wrist and out bound Rin. She ran up to Kagome and danced around her happily. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru with confusion. Sesshomaru still had the grin on his face.

"I need a favor, Kagome. Would you...look after her? I need to do something and I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect her if she goes with me."

Kagome's mouth almost dropped. Sesshomaru was asking for her help and a real favor this time.

"What do you need to..."

"That I cannot tell you. Just keep her safe."

And with that he was gone. Rin looked up at Kagome and smiled sweetly. Kagome groaned on the inside and slapped herself senseless. (A.n: of course...to herself. Not seen by anyone.)

Kagome smiled at Rin and started to introduce everyone to her.

"This is Miroku and that's Sango. The little boy on Sango's shoulder is Shippo and next to her is her cat, Kilala. Oh...and the guy in the dirt is Inuyasha."

"Is that all you have to say for me..."oh"? I feel the love, Kagome. I really do."

Kagome giggled and pulled Inuyasha up from the ground. Rin looked at him and giggled. She pointed to his dog ears and giggled some more.

"Those are...dog ears...can I touch..."

"NO! Nobody is going to ever touch my ears again!"

Kagome pouted and Inuyasha gave her a dirty look. Rin smiled again and waved to Shippo, who waved back shyly. Shippo jumped off of Sango and Rin ran into the tall grass where Shippo followed.

Kagome smiled.

"Well, Shippo now has someone he can play with."

Sango nodded, but raised her eyebrow.

"But why does Sesshomaru want us to protect her? That's not like him at all."

" I know, but when he kidnapped me...he seemed different. He acted different, that was for sure."

Inuyasha didn't like the sound of that and he tapped Kagome on the shoulder.

"And what do you mean by that?"

Kagome sweat dropped and she smiled nervously.

"Oh...nothing...just..."

" TELL ME NOW!"

"It's not something to get worked up on, Inuyasha. It was nothing."

Inuyasha growled and could tell that Kagome wasn't telling the truth. She smiled again and grabbed her hand to pull he away to somewhere more private, but she ripped her hand away.

" OH NO! You remember what happened last time we went off by ourselves..."

Inuyasha nodded, but still growled with anger. Kagome put her hands on her hips and opened her mouth...

" SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha met the wormies again and he swore into the dirt. Kagome grinned and Inuyasha pulled his face up from the ground.

"What was that for?"

"I felt like it!"

Inuyasha growled again and tried to get up, but he was stuck.

"Kagome...I swear when I get up...!"

"You'll what? Oh, I'm so scared!"

Inuyasha growled and moved again, but was still stuck. Kagome giggled and walked away with Sango.

"Kagome! GET BACK HERE! WE AREN'T FINISHED YET!"

"YES WE ARE...SIT!"

Inuyasha went further into the ground and he swore many colorful words that made Miroku smile. Miroku shook his head and kneeled by the Inuyasha-shaped hole.

"You should know by now..."

Inuyasha growled at Miroku walked away with a smile on his face.

Sesshomaru was all alone and deep in the forest. He felt his stalker's eyes upon him and he narrowed his eyes. He had to leave Rin with Kagome because this stalker was going to use Rin to get to him and he couldn't risk Rin's life. He didn't want to and even though it made his youkai blood boil to leave Rin in the company of Inuyasha, he knew he could trust Kagome.

Sesshomaru sniffed the air and knew that his stalker was behind him now. He stopped and smiled heniously.

"I know you are there, show yourself or die."

Laughter filled the air around the forest and a white shaped blade came whizzing from behind Sesshomaru, cutting the trees down with it...

(There! I know that Sesshomaru was WAY...WAY...OOC in this, but like I said before I think that Rin is making him softer. I mean...I have vaild reasons and I will state them in the next chapter...but can anyone guess who this mysterious stalker is?

Inuyasha: Why did Sesshomaru leave that human with us?

MM2005: I can't tell you.

Inuyasha: Why not?

MM2005: Because Sesshomaru would kill me.

Inuyasha snickers.

Inuyasha: Then tell me what happened between him and Kagome.

MM2005: Nope.

Inuyasha: TELL ME!

MM2005 takes out, yet again, the tape recorder, presses play, "SIT BOY" echoes, and Inuyasha goes into the dirt. MM2005 smiles and pats Inuyasha's head.

MM2005: You've got to work on your temper, Inuyasha.)
