Not much of an author's note today...I'm sneaking online...Thanks to all you reviewers!
Disclaimer:
I am going to take a leaf out of Kamiko-Zephuru's book and make a disclaimer involving myself, my friends, maybe some of my reviewers, and of course, the Inu gang! I do not own this leaf, nor do I own Inuyasha. The disclaimer will come next time. Muahahaha! Join us next time in my quest to own Inuyasha! This chapter, I shall be nice and give you a list of characters for next time.
LB: Me.
Duh.
Moo:
GottaLufftheFluff
Plant:
TheEvilPottedPlant
Jelle:
Sesshy-chan'sbestpal
Camille:
Camille
Court: Courtney
Note: Other characters to be added at a later date. If you wish to be included in the disclaimer, review with an appropriate, short description of yourself (ex. Ditzy, crazy, calm, eccentric, excitable, depressed, boy-crazy, optimistic, pessimistic, etc.) You're authors you should be able to come up with something. and I shall consider it. Be warned that I shall blow everything out of proportion. Such as, Moo is not really that much of a ditz, and she's getting much better, but it's more fun to portray her that way. Capiche:P I don't own Inuyasha! Buh-bye!
Chapter Three. Possessed by…
Kagome shuddered. "What is it, miko?" Sesshoumaru demanded coolly. This could become aggravating. Kagome seemed to be trying to choke out words, but appeared unable to. "N-N-Naraku," she gasped, tensing.
:-
'Come, now, miko. Kill him. He means nothing to you Wait…Someone else is interfering with my connection…'
:-
Kagome trembled, eyes glazing over slightly. Sesshoumaru watched her ambivalently, ready to subdue her in her controlled state the moment she acted. Kagome's hands shook, and a bow materialized. He had his hands around her wrists before she could set the arrow. She sent out a wave of purification energy, scorching his skin, and he was forced to let go. How could he stop her from killing everything in her path if she tried to purify him every time he attempted?
'Sesshoumaru, move! Get out of the way, or so help me, I'll purify your ass to hell!' Kagome could feel her own hands setting the arrow, channeling her energy into it, ready to release it. Snap. A long whip slashed through the bow, breaking it cleanly in half, and distracting her, as he quickly formulated a plan. He pushed her to the ground, somewhat surprised that his hands were not being burned, and held Toukijin very close to her neck. "Miko. Come out before you damage something." Kagome struggled with the force controlling her, trying desperately to exterminate it. She couldn't do it…She thought back desperately to another time in which she had been controlled. Usually Inuyasha had had something to do with escaping the control of something else…However, Inuyasha was nowhere in sight, sense, or danger for that matter. Suddenly, she realized that Naraku had ceased his attempts for now, but he would try again…she was sure of it. "S-Sesshoumaru?" He was silent. Her eyes and scent were back to normal, and her breathing as well. He stood in satisfaction. "That is better." Hmph. He acted like it was her fault! "You arrogant bast…"
"You shall not insult this Sesshoumaru in such a fashion, seeing as he is lowering himself in helping lowly humans and a hanyou at all by concealing you at all." She fumed inwardly, but remained silent.

Inuyasha glared at the moon, which was slowly but surely returning to full view each night. "Inuyasha?" He transferred his glare to the kitsune, who was now in his way, just for being there. "What?"
"I miss Kagome." He tried not to let his expression soften. "She'll be back, runt. She's gone to keep you safe, so you sure as hell'd better appreciate it."
"I thought she left to keep you safe. OW! What was that for?"
"Hah. No Kagome to s-i-t me now!"
THWAK. "Feh. Cheater." Sango smirked. "While Kagome is gone, I will be glad to fill in the position of causing pain." Inuyasha grumbled, scowling at her. "Go bug Miroku." Her fists clenched slightly, and he edged away, smelling her aggravation radiating from her. Miroku stepped up to Sango, with a quite serious expression. "Sango. I would be most privileged to have you 'bug' me. Inuyasha evidently does not appreciate it, as your effulgence surpasses him." Sango hit him over the head, just because she hadn't understood a couple of words in that sentence, and because she was feeling rather irate. (A/N: Can you tell I like big words?) "Come on, Shippou. Let's go see if we can help Kaede in any way. I feel rather unappreciated," she glared at Inuyasha, "and violated," her glare switched to Miroku, "in here." Shippou blew a raspberry at the others, dodged a blow to the head, and hopped up onto Sango's shoulder for protection from their death ray stares.

"Are we going to stop soon?" He flinched slightly. This ningen girl was becoming bothersome, and it took a lot to get him annoyed. "The amount of time matters not, as you have much of it. This Sesshoumaru would appreciate it greatly if you would refrain from speaking." Kagome sighed. "Sorry. I'm just really bored."
"One would assume that your maturity is far below its actual level with the way in which you complain." Was that some sort of twisted compliment? "Thanks for being so nice," she muttered. He did not respond. She paused suddenly. She could have sworn that she'd felt a semi-familiar twinge, but dismissed it.
:-
The time was coming. The time approached when Naraku would no longer gain credit for her assaults.
