Keeper Of My Soul

Chapter 4 Stupid Hanyou

Inuyasha crashed through the trees anger causing his blood to boil. The others were running to keep up with him but barely staying close enough to keep him in sight.

"Inuyasha! Slow down." Sango ordered as she chased the hanyou through the trees as he ran in the direction of Sesshomaru and Kagome. Miroku was running his robe snagging on tree limbs. Kirara had Shippo on her back and was having better luck keeping up with Inuyasha then the others.

"If you can't keep up don't bother trying!" Inuyasha yelled back arrogantly. Sango glared angrily at his disappearing back but she had to find her friend so she decided to hold her insults until after the show.


Kagome could feel Sesshomaru's demonic aura washing over her and it made her extremely uneasy. Sesshomaru was leaning against a tree watching a section of trees uninterested.

Suddenly Inuyasha barreled into the clearing and stopped short when he saw Kagome standing about a foot behind Sesshomaru and him leaning against the tree like he didn't have a care in the world.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled his golden eyes blazing angrily.

"Half-breed." Sesshomaru answered rolling his eyes.

"Let her go!" Sango yelled as she entered the clearing.

"You, human female, do not order me." Sesshomaru said indignantly.

Sango glared her boomerang riding on her shoulder as she stood a few feet behind Inuyasha. Miroku had entered the clearing beside Kirara and Shippo; he stared at the demon lord with a look of pure contempt glowing on his face. Inuyasha drew his sword and prepared to attack his brother.

Kagome's eyes widened in fear, "NO! Inuyasha please don't be stupid!" she yelled shaking her hands at them before the battle could begin.

"Stay out of this Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled back.

Kagome crossed her arms and glared at him. "Inuyasha you big idiot, I'm the reason it's happening!" Sesshomaru wanted to grin but his cold outer appearance kept him from doing so instead he drew his own sword.

"I warned you." he said to her.

"NO! Please don't kill him! If you must, injure him a little, just don't KILL him, and leave the others alone." Kagome begged.

Sesshomaru glanced at her and groaned silently, she was going to start crying again he just knew it.

"If I should do this, you'll do as I bid without arguing?" he said his eyes trained on the hanyou in front of him.

Kagome hesitated but when he moved to strike she yelled, "Yes! Anything, just leave them alone!" she cried.

Sesshomaru nodded, and then he attacked his brother intent on putting him out of it for a while. Sango and Miroku had stayed away from the battle just as Kagome had asked them too even though they didn't understand half of what was going on, but they trusted her.

They watched Inuyasha have the stuffing beat out of him but true to his word Sesshomaru didn't leave anything but scratches and bruises. After what seemed like a life long beating Inuyasha fell his eyes rolled back in to his head as he collapsed unconscious but alive.

Kagome was shaking, afraid Sesshomaru wouldn't hold to his word or Inuyasha would do something really stupid and get himself killed anyway. She gave a huge sigh of relief when Sesshomaru stepped away from his half brother's unconscious body and turned to her.

"Come, we aren't far from our destination." Kagome nodded sadly and waved slowly to her friends as she turned and followed Sesshomaru through the trees.


(Celsie) I got the idea for Kagome telling Inuyasha not to be stupid from Spirit-Huntress. I just thought it was too funny to be left out, so thanks for the idea!
