Inu Kaiba: Whoops, I almost forgot the author's note. Had to come back and re-add it.
Sesshomaru was following his brother on Ah and Un, his brother hadn't noticed them from the sky, but of course that was to be suspected. Sesshomaru was waiting until his brother got lulled into a false sense of security and stopped running. Then he would come down and carry him off with him.
Rin looked at Inuyasha then looked back at Sesshomaru and tugged on Sesshomaru's kimono. "Sesshomaru-sama, is that your brother?"
"Yes it is, Rin. He's my brother, and we're following him so I can talk to him when he stops."
-
Kagome just walked down the path, in a hurried search to find Inuyasha. Her eyes just looked up to the stars and looked back straight ahead, not even knowing where she was exactly going. "Inuyasha...! Inuyasha..." Kagome screamed with hands over her mouth waiting for a verbal response, or a mean comment but nothing. "He's not coming back...is he?"
-
"How much longer will we be?" Rin said. "I'm so bored, Sesshomaru-Sama..."
"I think he's stopping now Rin."
"Really?" Rin practically squealed. "Yay!" She would have jumped for joy if not for the fact that she was on Ah and Un.
"There. He's stopped." Sesshomaru smiled, but unfortunately it looked a lot more like a smirk.
"Go figure why would he want to come back? After the way I've treated him...it's not just my fault I feel like this. Calling me a wench, shard detector, Kikyo. Where the hell does he get the nerve? I wish I never cared about him! It would be easier on me...The fact is… I do..." Kagome found herself near the edge of a lake and just sat there for a moment, gathering her thoughts seeing Inuyasha's face hidden in the water. She just grabbed a rock and furiously threw it in, ruining it. "Kouga cares for me, but no I want Inuyasha to care for me like that. He barely is ever nice to me. When I'm nice to him he pushes me away. I shouldn't care… But look I'm running off to find him anyways! I have to find him and talk to him; it's the only way this will get better."
To InuYasha it all happened in a split second. He was sure Sesshomaru wasn't following him, but when the lighting bolt streaked the clear night sky, he screamed. He couldn't protect himself really, not without others to help him! He didn't even have Kagome, and what if he got injured? He would surely die; the score was three to one.
But in a second, before he even could finish screaming, Sesshomaru had stepped down from Ah and Un, and grabbed his wrist.
Now it was time for InuYasha to act like a 2 year old. "LEMME GOOOOOOOO!"
Sesshomaru grabbed his other wrist, rendering InuYasha un-able to grab the Tetsusaiga. Hell, he'd never had a chance, it all happened way too fast. "I don't want to die, damn you. Let go! I'll bite you..."
This went on for a while and Sesshomaru stood there as InuYasha tried to scream, bite and kick his way out of the situation.
After a while, InuYasha ran out of steam. "Are you going to kill me now?" he asked. "Or are you going to torture me and kill me later?"
"Be sensible, InuYasha." his brother said. "I have no plans to kill me, not unless you try first."
InuYasha snarled. "Then what the fuck are you here for?"
All of a sudden, InuYasha realized. 'I wanted to die, right? So, this could be an easy way to make it work. And it would make sense too.'
"Well, whatever you're here for, it's time for a change of plans. When you walk away, you walk away with me lying dead here."
Sesshomaru sighed. "Are we not family?"
"...We are family." InuYasha said staring at his brother with the look that said 'what the fuck'.
"Why would I see the need to kill you if you are family?"
"You've tried before."
"That was only for Tetsusaiga."
"Then you came to take the sword?"
"I have no use for it now."
InuYasha stared at his brother as if he had two heads. "Then what the fuck do you want?"
Sesshomaru was frustrated enough. So he grabbed InuYasha, threw him on Ah and Un, and pressed down hard on a particular spot on his neck. InuYasha had started to yell at him, but all went quiet as he slipped into unconscious-ness.

Kagome had been traveling for a while and her legs were already tired. She had more bruises, cuts then she ever did before. She just looked around only hearing crows cackling and leaves rustling in the wind. "Damn this is pointless! I knew it would be a waste of time...but why did I do it? I have no clue… How stupid can I be! Out here with no protection, no food and searching for Inuyasha? Kagome how could you be so stupid?" she asked herself.
She just sighed turning around, and walking straight back to the hut. "Useless. I just wasted my time looking for him. If he wants to come back he can..." Kagome softly sighed looking back just in case she caught a glimpse of him but nothing but shadows.
"Kagome!" Miroku said pulling open the bamboo door flap. "Come back in now! You're going to catch cold, or get attacked by a demon."
Kagome just lifted her head up at the sound of Miroku worried, that made her form a little bit of a smile. She really didn't care if she did get a cold or anything, she just knew it was useless to even go after him in the first place. "I'm coming! Don't worry about me!" Kagome chimed trying to sound like herself, but instead it came out completely fake.
Miroku nodded. "Ok. I'll get Kaede to make you a bowl of soup." Miroku went back inside, the bamboo door flap swinging in the breeze.
Kagome smiled to herself, how nice and thoughtful her friends were. She didn't expect anything more or anything less out of them, but she expected a little more from the half demon. Kagome sat outside against the side of the hut and chimed again. "Ok thanks." She said with her head resting on her knees, trying to get some fresh air and clear her head so she wouldn't have to bring her problems to them.
She hated when people knew what was a matter with her, or people getting involved even if they were concerned friends she just didn't want to hear that Inuyasha feels like this because of her… She just didn't want to hear his name at all.
Miroku came outside and brought her a bowl of soup. "Did you find InuYasha?" he asked.
Kagome softly sighed. She didn't know whether to even answer him or not. She just looked at him with her brown eyes looking at him sadly, and looked back down with fake smile. "Oh Inuyasha..."
"I'll take that as a no." Miroku pulled the door flap open and yelled inside. "HEY SANGO! I THINK MY SNEAKY FEELING IS RIGHT!"
Kagome lowered her head down the minute she heard Miroku yell that. "Knowing them they are going to make me talk about how I feel right now." Kagome just slowly inside with a gruesome look on her face.
Miroku sighed. "I'm really worried now." He told Sango.
Sango just quietly whispered back. "Ya I know. Kagome seems beat over Inuyasha. Considering she just went to find him..."
Miroku nodded. "He's nowhere in the vicinity, I know that for sure now."
"He's run away."
Sango looked back whispering gently in his ear, trying to make in less noticeable to Kagome. "Kagome would be heart broken if she found that out."
Miroku nodded. "But she has to know."
Kagome just quietly sat down with a fake smile grabbing a bowl of soup, barely even saying a word.
"You're right." Sango said sadly
Miroku gulped. "Here goes nothing..." he said to Sango.
"Kagome...?"
Kagome placed the bowl to her lip and blinked for a moment, letting out a sigh as though she knew what was coming. "Yes...?" She said without her cheery voice.
"Kagome... I have a bad feeling that InuYasha is nowhere nearby. And if that's correct..."
"Then I wouldn't expect to see him anytime soon..."
"It's possible we might never see him again..."

Inu Kaiba: Terribly sorry for not updating sooner, but here you have it n.n
As RoxyFoxy would say if I could talk to her, which I can't since it is 10:43 A.M. and normal people are in school at this time, except that I'm sick so it doesn't count: R+R
