Auther's notes: Hey! Sorry updates will become less frequent as already stated. well, I'm looking for an editor, so if you'd like to help me edit my story, you'd get to read it before anyone else (except for me that is lol) and if you'd like to do this (I don't know is any of you would.) please AIM me at ss4gtmonica or email me at invisablemanic@yahoo.com thank you!

Poll: Should Kagome learn to use the elements (fire, ice water, ect)

~~~Begin~~~

Kagome giggled and then cleared her throat, "Sango-chan, Miroku- sama?" Kagome questioned, both Sango and Miroku turned their attention to Kagome, "Yes?" they responded in unison.

"Well, I was wondering, would you consider traveling with Sesshomaru-sama, Rin-chan, Shippo-chan and my self?" Kagome pleaded, putting her arms behind her and grasping them, making herself look very innocent. "Kagome-sama, what is that marking on your neck?" Miroku asked as soon as he laid eyes on it, He began to walk closer, "It's a youkai mark you letch." Sango said rolling her eyes.

"Who from?" Miroku asked, suddenly very interested. "What the fuck? Sesshomaru mark you Kagome?" Inu Yasha said, pulling himself and glaring at Kagome, who turned around and looked the hanyou, "Yes Inu Yasha, he marked me. Do you have a problem with that?" She said avoiding eye contact with him.

"So you're his next fucking slut he pulls into his bed? Feh, I expected more from you Kagome." He said now standing with one hand on the hilt of Testsaigua and the other slightly behind him. Kagome now made eye contact with him out of anger, "He's better then you Inu Yasha and if you even knew your own brother, you'd know he'd never do that. You're the only man I know that'd do that. No, that's not true, you're no man, you're just a boy Inu Yasha." She said walking over to Sesshomaru and standing next to him. "You know Kagome-chan, I think I will join you. I'm sorry Inu Yasha, you have been a great friend, but you've let Kikyou take over, your more bossy, You don't care about us and you've hurt my best friend I am truly sorry Inu Yasha but my place is with Kagome-chan."

Sango said, walked over to Kagome's side and grabbing her hand. "Fuck you demon slayer, if you were truly sorry you'd stay. But I don't need you bitch." Inu Yasha replied. "Inu Yasha, you need to treat a lady with respect. But, Kagome-sama, I am horribly sorry but I feel I must stay with Inu Yasha so this is our goodbye for now however our paths may cross again and my views might have changed by then." Miroku said walking past the three adults and over next to Inu Yasha. Kagome looked at Miroku wish saddened eyes, but they couldn't match the sadness that Sango's eyes held. Sango looked ahead at the monk in purple that stood before her, she bravely looked up into his cobalt eyes, and he met her stare his eyes also saddened he tried to smile softly but he couldn't bring him self to.

"W-well, I guess until we meet again letch." Sango said, her voice shaking slightly as she tried to forge a joking tone. "Yes. yes Sango, until we meet again." Miroku said, keeping a steady voice and turning around, grabbing Inu Yasha by the arm while doing so. The three of them watched as Miroku and Inu Yasha slowly left in silence. "Let's get a move on now ladies." Sesshomaru said, finally breaking the silence, turning around and walking back into the cave to fetch Rin and Shippo.

Kagome grabbed Sango's hand and walked into the cave. Kagome dropped Sano's hand and began repacking her pack. Once that was finished, she tossed it on her back, allowed Shippo to hop onto her shoulder and met up with Sesshomaru, Jaken, Rin and Sango at the entrance of the cave.

The day remained uneventful and once it began to darken after sunset, they set up camp. "Kagome, come with me." Sesshomaru said, walking away from camp. Kagome tossed a look over at Shippo and Sango, smiled and jogged to catch up to Sesshomaru. "Yes Sesshomaru-sama?" Kagome asked after he has stopped.

He turned around and handed her a katana. Kagome then nodded and took it and got into a fighting stance. Sesshomaru did the same and they started, Sesshomaru launched himself at Kagome, who turned swiftly, ducked and swung under Sesshomaru, ripping parts of his kimono but missing his skin by a hair. Once Sesshomaru landed on his feet, he did a back flip and ended up behind Kagome, until she turned around and blocked Sesshomaru's blow to the back of her head with one hand.

Kagome smiled innocent as she shot down, still holding up her sword and kicking her leg under Sesshomaru's causing him to fall. How ever, he caught himself and kicked Kagome hard in the stomach, causing her to fly back and her back to hit a tree. Kagome cried and winced in pain, but quickly got up and launched her self at Sesshomaru head on, she made it look like she was going to do an upward slice, which Sesshomaru prepared for, but at the last minute, she changed her grip and forced in under, which Sesshomaru still managed to block.

"You're getting better Kagome, I'm very impressed, with only a little more then a week's training and you've gotten this far, I'm very surprised and pleased." Sesshomaru said as he snuck his other arm around Kagome and attempted to grab her neck until she ducked and kicked him in the back on the head. Kagome laughed and she launched her self backwards, "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama, I am learning form the best." She said, panting lightly.

They continued at that pace for hours, and if anyone had on looked on the two of them, they wouldn't have seen a fight, but a dance with swords. When the moon shined directly above them, Sesshomaru halted and caught the arm holding Kagome's blade. "That's enough for tonight Kagome." Sesshomaru said putting his own blade into his hilt. "All right." Kagome said, collapsing on the ground and looking up at the sky, "It's beautiful huh?" She said, allowing her self to fall onto her back in the grass. Sesshomaru looked over at her and followed her eyes up to the sky, it was beautiful, "Yes, the stars and the moon always look very beautiful at this time." He said looking around in the starry jumble.

"When my father died, I used to believe that he turned into a star just for me. I thought that everyone of the stars was a lost parent to a little child and they were there to give they're children faith." Kagome said with a sad tone but still managed to chuckle near the end,

"That is a strange but very angelic idea, when did your father pass away?" Sesshomaru asked, lowering him self to the ground,

"When I was 10 in a car crash. I really loved him so it was very hard on me, losing someone so dear to me." Kagome sighed,

"You were still quiet young then." He replied,

"I guess. how old were you when your father passed away?" She asked, casting her blue eyes on Sesshomaru for a minute and then back onto the stars above them,

"I was. nearly 13. Inu Yasha was about 6 then. But I was never close to my father." He answered.

"Oh. I'm sorry." Kagome said in a quieted voice.

Sesshomaru looked over at her, "Why are you sorry?" he said with a tint of shock in his voice.

"Well, because you lost your father and you were never close to him." She said as if it were obvious.

Sesshomaru chuckled, "You have too big of a heart Kagome, and it wasn't your fault, you had nothing to do with it so there is no reason for you to be sorry." He said,

"Let's go back to camp and sleep Kagome."

"Ok." She said lifting her self off the ground and following Sesshomaru back to camp. Today had been an interesting day.
