The rain pounded from the sky assaulting everything it touched; he didn't notice. Mud caked his pants and heels like iron weights, but he still didn't notice. On he ran clawed feet leaving their tracks on forgiving earth, it was close; they were close. All that plagued his psyche, Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and all the lies he had fed himself over the long cold years. Rain dripped from his silvery locks as clawed fingers ran through them. The marble halls stood dauntingly before him: the castle of his ancestral name. Yet he was banished from both. Even over the rain's tirade he heard her name roll off his tongue like fine spun silk, "Kagome"

He could smell her over the mud and rain. Her aroma flooded his senses as if it had never left; it lulled him like his mother had when he was a pup, and Kagome had herself latter on. Longing to see the source of the intoxicating fragrance led him against his better judgment towards the architectural wonder. He entered the garden and while his rational side was still working he turned his keen nose to the drenched air, searching for the scent he adored. There, he smirked looking at a particularly tall section of the palace. The height provided safety from Sesshoumaru's ground dwelling minions. Good.

Okay because you people wanted longer fug monkey chapters I'll put in a note to you alls instead of making it a whole different chapter and yes it has taken me awhile to update. Hehehehe. So here is my list of excuses, call me on any of these if you want.

I'm slow.

My average typing speed is 17 words a minute.

I've been busy with IBO world qualifiers a.k.a Triple Crown (International Bowhunter Organization)

NFAA 3D nationals is coming up at the end of July

And so is NFAA field-hunter-animal (National Field Archery Association)

I'm taking summer school for kicks

I hate typing

Ideas are kind of' sparse when math equations are floating around in my supposedly existent brain.

There is all the ones I could think of at this moment so lets get on to part II of this ever winding path into my world remember "follow the Yellow-green brick road, because it is the only one that leads you out. I think, but I'm still here so what the hell do I know?" Hehehehe. You people know it is true, so on to the story!

>>>>>>>>



Kagome stomped toward her chambers wholeheartedly cursing the mighty taiyoukai that still resided in the paperwork pile of hell. Kagome laughed evilly as she slammed her bedroom door for good measure, 'I'm going to get that arrogant fucker good' sang her sickening sweet inner voice. The smile died off her face as she glanced around the massive dark room. An unusual sense of foreboding hung in the air and draped every surface like poisonous snakes. Chills shot down the young girl spin as she spotted an uninvited shadowed figure with glowing golden eyes sitting in her open window the anguish outside as his backdrop.

"Sesshoumaru?" choked Kagome.

Lightning flashed silver as demonic orbs flashed red. The man moved from his window perch to stand to his full height, she recognized that shape but at the same time this figure was so foreign it made her want to run. The thunder outside seemed to growl a warning, a warning to flee and scream at the top of her lungs for any body that would aid her, but she was caught in that gaze like a frightened rabbit unable to move. The man made to move again and that made her take a subconscious step backward, putting distance between her and the shadow that now radiated a rage so pure it coated the air like slime and crackled upon his skin like fire. The once golden orbs took on a pink tinge, one kagome knew almost always assured death. The silhouette let out a feral growl as she took one more step backward.

"No Kagome," he said as another bolt of lightning lit the room and Kagome gasped, "Inuyasha"

Mwahahaha! Am I not evil? Or am I nice? That would have been a super short chapter, then you all would complain, just to make my head hurt so I can mope around and have an excuse to not write another chapter for a month or so. Those two paragraphs took me thirty minutes to type! I went through three keyboarding classes and all the teachers said I was hopeless… oh well. Two fingered pecking always works, right? Now that I have given YOU a headache with my little tangent we will get back to probably the longest chapter I will ever produce for this story! This was supposed to be at least ten chappies kiddies! This spanned twenty amigos napkins! Twenty! (It was written on a napkin because I was sitting at the eye doctor and the idea just bit me in the ass like a rabid dog. I started hopping around like a dumbass before I tackled my parental unit and stole a napkin, which happened to be amigos, then I ran out of napkin so I insisted on walking six blocks back to amigos to retrieve more) So this will be about it until I get another idea for this story. I will repeat, I AM PULLING THIS STORY OUTTA' MY ASS AS WE GO ALONG! Unlike the six other inuyasha stories I have completed which are sitting in notebooks titled 'Inuyasha' my favorite one out of them is 'Nothing Else Matters.' If you people are interested I could attach a little bit of chapter 1 onto an update one of these days and you people can tell me if you want me to post it as a separate story. Okay on to THIS story! Hehehehe

"Inuyasha" she breathed as she backed father toward the door, if she could get into the hall safety from those rose colored eyes would be guaranteed, but the enraged hanyou seemed to sense her plan and slammed the door in her face as she tried to make a futile dash out of it. A clawed hand grabbed her wrist and tugged her to him violently. Inuyasha growled as he sniffed her, the smell of his brother covered her.

"Why do you run, Kagome? Do you run to him, do you wench? You belong to me, remember that," he shook her viciously, "remember that! You have cost me time and pain searching for your sorry ass! How the hell was I supposed to complete the damn jewel without you?"

Kagome choked back a sob at his statement as the oblivious hanyou ploughed on…

"And then," he said lowering his mouth to her neck, then sniffed her again, "You really do smell like him, you know. You've probably already fucked him," purred Inuyasha as he started to nip at her collar, "No matter when I get the jewel I will have you and Kikyou, a full demon gets what he wants or takes it." A hand slipped up her leg traveling up her skirt.

Shock turned to anger at the possessed hanyou's words "I am no man's whore Inuyasha!" she said as she pushed him away, "I AM NO MAN"S WHORE, NOT EVEN YOURS INUYASHA!"

Kagome heard the hard slap echoed through the room before she hit the stonewall with a sickening crunch, blood poured from her temple as well as from the perfect claw sized slices adorning her aching cheek. Only unrefined anger brought her to her feet again to face the demon. Her fists trembled from rage, fear, rejection, and sadness, as she looked Inuyasha in his scarlet eyes.

"How dare you hit me, Inuyasha!" she gritted out.

Another slap sent her flying back into the wall. This time the young miko grimaced as the metallic taste of blood flooded her mouth, a humorless joke filled her mind, guessing how long her human body could endure his strength, she almost laughed, not long.

"Don't ever speak to me like that ever again, bitch." He growled at her frail form limp against the wall.

Kagome looked up at him through blurred vision, this she realized suddenly was not the man she had fallen in love with, this was the demon that lived inside his body, The one that fought for control every second of the day, the meanness, the lies, the torture she endured every time he ran off into the forest, this was it, and she knew it. She tried to combat the revelation with the unrequited love she had carried for him over the years, but she couldn't. Only bitterness remained, no more could she turn her head from what had been there from the start, the truth. Her gaze dropped to the beads hanging around the demon's neck. Kagome almost smiled at her stupidity, if she only had the brains to remember the necklace she wouldn't be bleeding all over Sesshoumaru's expensive fluffy carpet.

"Will you be a good bitch and return with me?" he purred holding a clawed hand out to her.

Kagome took it and bowed her head, presenting the perfect image of a submissive female. Her head whirled as she stood up. Colors swirled and morphed in her vision. She tottered to his side.

"Good" Inuyasha cooed as he led her to the open window, the portal into the rampant storm. A foot away from the window Kagome's limping shuffle stopped as she fell to the ground. "Kagome?" came Inuyasha's concerned voice, and for the first time since his brother's name was mentioned his eyes returned to the glimmering gold that Kagome remembered, "Oh god, what have I done?" whispered the now sane Inuyasha as he turned around to assess the damaged done to the only one in this world that cared about him, no he couldn't have caused her this much pain, but he had and he knew it.

Teehee! There you go, that was another chapter written while listening to 'Alone I break' by Korn, 'Creep' by Stone Temple Pilots', 'Made of Glass' by Trapt, 'Here is the New Shit' by Marilyn Manson, and finally, 'Spin' by Revis! I Really Really like Revis! They are one of my favorite bands! ('Spin' and 'The City Beneath' are my favorite songs from them) I also love Marilyn Manson! Yeah! Go Manson, make their jaws drop and hit the floor; you keep rocking that MP3 player I have! Word on music here, I am sorry if this offends anybody (that means this whole story) RAP NEEDS TO DIE AND COUNTRY SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE HILLS! IT SERVED ITS PURPOSE, LET IT DIE! . #1 rule to live by: If it doesn't have a Electric guitar and a distorter box it should be shot (unless it is classical or opera. Yup, I am messed up opera and Manson, Beethoven and AC/DC, Bach and Korn, the world doesn't get any stranger does it? LOL)

"I-Inuyasha" gasped through gritted teeth as she struggled to her feet once again. She faced Inuyasha eyes turned to the floor.

Inuyasha flexed his hands in regret as he spied the claw marks accented by bruises that adorned her cheeks. Inuyasha gulped and answered her meekly, a big feat for him. "Yes." All his life he had searched for someone who understood him, real love, someone that cared and accepted him no matter what he was, he almost laughed at how ironic it was, the one person who had gave him all those things battered by his own hand.

It was then the tattered girl brought merciless eyes up to meet his, he backed away toward the window, she glared at him and it seemed the vices of hell had grabbed onto his heart and ripped it out, bloody strings trailing behind. She spoke but it was not her normal voice, this voice she used must have been stolen from a dead man, "That is the last time you will hit me, Inuyasha, that is the last time."

Inuyasha stared confusedly at her " Kagom-" he started, but he never got to finish as he tumbled out of the window, pushed by a small, bloodied hand. His gaze never left hers as he fell and she never blinked. He never was able to don on his look of surprise as she whispered the 'Sit' because he knew he deserved it.

Hehehehe. Another short one that would have made you go crazy! Well instead of ten chappies I added some together and made it into five! I hope this doesn't suck too badly because this is almost exactly word for word off the napkin! Hehehehe I'm too lazy to add more description, though I hate stories with too much description I get so agitated I yell, "Get to the Fuckin' point already!" at my poor computer screen. Sorry Mister Monitor! I think this story is getting a little boring so in a chapter or four I'll spice it up a little! Not any nasty though.

Kagome sagged against the windowsill when she heard Inuyasha hit the ground; a sob wracked her small frame. She knew the hanyou wasn't dead, only in extreme pain, she hadn't planned to kill him, and at least she had succeeded in that part. Kagome clutched the jewel shards that hung around her neck, soon, soon and none of this would matter. She could feel his pain as if it was her own, hell maybe it was. Kagome shook her head maybe in her heart she thought Inuyasha could love her and only her. Her shaking fingers combed through her hair, she smiled cruelly at the hand she had run through her hair, crimson life covered it, painting her nails red. The smile faded and sobbed harder. That instant what was left of her healing heart shattered like the precious stone everyone seemed to pride over happiness.

In her distress she yelled the only name that had come to mind, "Sesshoumaru!" kagome once again gave into her tears as she curled into a bloody ball on the floor. Rain pattered on her back cool and clean, but to her oh so cold.

Sesshoumaru's head snapped up as the high-pitched version of his name penetrated every square inch of the library. Instinct drove him to the hall where he had given the girl quarters, later he would wonder why only he heard the girl call, why no servants or even Mira had rushed to her room like he had, later. A rare curse fell off his lips when he smelled the unmistakable scent of the Miko's blood. "MIRA" he roared as he saw her in the indoor garden below with the children. On he strode not waiting for the cat fore he knew she was right behind him.

Sesshoumaru ripped the heavy wooden doors from their hinges and tossed them aside. The room looked like a murder scene, blood coated a nearby wall and trails led toward a broken window. It was then he noticed the small, wet, shivering ball under the window. Rain pelted her from outside but she didn't seem to notice, he was about to go to her when the neko burst through the entrance, pushed him to the side and ran to the girl. Mira hugged Kagome's small body close to her and rocked her. Kagome's small hand covered with blood lifted and dragged the cat's ear a breath away from her lips, mumbled something and let go fainting.

Mira nodded to the limp figure in her arms and gently picked her up and laid her on the bed. Turning to Sesshoumaru and smiled sadly, "Can you handle watching her for a couple days?" she asked as she marched out of the room, heading towards the staircase.

Sesshoumaru glared at her retreating back, "Of course"

Mira snorted as she walked down the hall, "Mira one point, Sesshy zero. I'll be surprised if they are both haven't killed each other and the castle is still standing when I get back."

Sesshoumaru growled once more at the intolerable cat and picked up the limp girl. Walking out of the room towards his own chambers he growled at his brothers stupidity, for he knew it was Inuyasha that that harmed her, because the cretin had not even bothered to mask his scent. His dear brother would die painfully.

YAY! Can anybody guess what I have been doing to improve this story? Because this is a (supposedly) Romance story thingy I have had problems. Why? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CONSITERED ROMANTIC LOVING OR SEXY! Being a quite sadistic person (says my mother) I am not very popular with people in general. I also have a problem with grinding male egos into the ground (I really don't mean to! It just happens) meaning the relationship part of my life is at an absolute Zero… hehehehe… You have probably guessed as much! Well anyway back to the point (Sorry, I kinda have a short memory span) I have been forced to read ROMANCE NOVELS! Dundundun! I FOUND THEM SO DICUSTING, that I don't think that I could write something like that (if you can, go get them!) I mean what real guy is like that? Real guys are not nice, sensitive, and understanding! Guys like that do not exist (the reason I know? 90 of my friends are guys. Don't ask why, long story) and if you think one does, check to make sure he is not a robot (or really a girl). Okay this next one is really short, but it would not be fun unless I made you suffer by listening to my babbling!

Inuyasha resided in a six-foot crater that distinctly resembled his shape. 'How appropriate,' thought Mira staring down into the hole, 'if Sesshoumaru would have found him digging a grave wouldn't be necessary'

"Uhhg" was the sound that emitted from the hole.

Mira dipped a dainty clawed appendage into the hole and pulled out the groaning hanyou. "Get up, Inuyasha!" she snarled into his face, "we have little time until Sesshoumaru finds you!"

The aggrieved half-demon looked into the neko's angry eyes and let out a little laugh. "Mira, let him come, let him tear me limb from limb and eat the rest. Gods know I deserve it," inuyasha looked down at his hand still covered in the girl's blood, "I hurt her, Mira"

"You don't have to tell me that, you bastard! If Kagome wasn't the one that sent me to save your sorry ass, I would have killed you by now!" Mira's claws flexed mechanically as she stared at him. 'Gods' she thought 'how could the boy my sister raised turn out like this, or was it Sesshoumaru?' Mira kicked him lightly in the side "Get up, Inuyasha!" This brat was lucky even after her sister's death she could not hate the little hanyou, and this, it seemed, still stood. Sighing she bent over and helped the struggling man, no boy he was the same lost and lonely, up. Prepared horses stood nearby, their fear of demons trained out many moons ago, deciding that the mutt could not sit a horse himself she tied the extra horse behind her own. Placing the dog in front of her Mira picked up the reins and signaled the horse into a trot. She could have made better time on foot, but Inuyasha's condition signaled that as not the best course of action. Mira smiled warily to herself, Kagome had specifically said he was supposed to be delivered to their home village ALIVE. Ah, the key word, alive.

For the first time Mira took a good look at her sister's ward in at least 70 years, he looked like his brother into every aspect but one, Inuyasha was soft as Sesshoumaru was cold and hard as a block of ice. The boy in her arms had aged almost none since she had last seen him, though she heard that he was pinned to a tree for fifty fucking years, and he still acted the same. Warmer though, kinder, she suspected that was the Miko's doing. Concern wrinkled her brow making her look old as she was. Inuyasha was in actual fact hurt, the mutt had been thrown out of a 200-foot window and had ploughed face-first into the ground aided by magic, hell, and anybody would have been in pain.

Mira slowed the horse to a walk as she left the castle grounds. Looking back over her shoulder she sighed, Sesshoumaru was probably was still fawning over his Miko's injuries, and probably would still be two days from now. Sesshoumaru would not set out the to hunt for Inuyasha's head until she was healed, Mira was sure. The shadows would settle soon, so she pulled her horse toward a village. Mira planned to sell the horses for care of the hanyou's wounds, and then she could ride the shadows back to the Miko's village and leave him there. Unknowingly she ran a hand through his dirty hair, he needed a bath too. Kagome was going to owe her when she got back.
