Keeper Of My Soul

Chapter 3 Discovering Trouble

Inuyasha jumped down from the tree when his nose caught two very distinct and well-known smells coming from the Bone Eater's Well. He kicked Miroku, who sat up and came within inches of hitting Inuyasha in the face with his staff.

"WHAT?" Miroku hissed.

"Kagome's back but we've got trouble." Inuyasha said his eyes flashing as he turned and ran in the direction of the well.

Miroku watched him go and couldn't figure out why he had woken him up, it was definitely unlike Inuyasha. He turned and woke up Sango, Shippou and Kirara. Then he led them towards the well.

Inuyasha stepped into the clearing and sniffed, Kagome had been here and so had Sesshomaru. He growled, if Sesshomaru had done something to her he would make him pay.

He turned as the rest of the gang entered the clearing and he turned to face them.

"Well where's Kagome?" Miroku asked his eyes narrowing as he gazed around the clearing.

"I don't know but Sesshomaru was here too." Inuyasha answered as he sniffed the air trying to find the direction Sesshomaru had left in.

"Are you saying Sesshomaru has taken Kagome?" Sango demanded.

"Yeah." Inuyasha muttered his eyes flashing as he gazed into the trees.

"Where are you taking me?" Kagome whimpered. Sesshomaru continued in silence, every time she stopped he would push her forward causing her to stumble and almost fall.

Kagome forced herself to remain as calm as possible. Inuyasha was a demon, he had to have discovered she had come back, and hopefully he'd figure out how to track her.

She kept forcing herself to walk and not to think about whom she was with and why she was with him. Kagome glanced around trying to remember which way she had come so when and if she escaped she would be able to find her way back.

"If your planning an escape I feel I must warn you now it would be a waste of time." Sesshomaru ordered calmly.

Kagome blanched but kept her tongue still. She wanted desperately to threaten him, but she knew better, he had her at least for now.

Sesshomaru smelled her fear and anxiety but waved it away. He would complete his end of the deal and if he was betrayed there would be hell to pay.

Suddenly he smelled the disgusting scent of the half-breed and couldn't help but smirk inwardly at the hanyou's foolishness.

"Stop, the half-breed has come to attempt a rescue." He commanded his face cold and collected. Kagome stopped and turned to face the trees fearful of what Sesshomaru might do to her friends.

Suddenly she turned and almost dropped to her knees, "Please don't kill them! Please, I'm begging you!" Kagome whispered tears running down her face.

Sesshomaru's nose was being assaulted by the salty scent of her tears and it was making him want to sneeze. He fought the urge to sneeze until finally it faded away but unless he made her stop crying it would just come back.

"If he's not stupid I won't kill him." He ordered.

Kagome understood the underlying order and quickly got to her feet wiping away her tears and dusting herself off.

She wasn't sure if she should thank him or just remain silent but finally her fear beat the manners her mother had drilled into her skull and she remained quiet watching and waiting for Inuyasha to come.

(Celsie) Okay for a while I had lost inspiration for this story and thought I was going to have to put it one hold for a while but after three sleepless nights and re-reading all my reviews I managed to finish this chapter. I hope it lives up to the others.
