Sesshomaru went into the deepest of the Western Lands forests'. 'Kutsu! What the hell is wrong with me?' Sesshomaru ran even faster through the woods when he caught scent of Inuyasha. 'Hmm…So the half-breed comes to challenge me. Let's see how this would go.' Sesshomaru picked up speed and headed toward the direction Inuyasha was coming from.
Inuyasha sniffed around. "Sesshomaru!" He turned around to see his half brother having Toukijin near his neck. "Draw the sword. If your not going to draw it, it will mean you are not worthy of Tetsusaiga. And, you are a half-breed. Remember your PLACE!" Sesshomaru jumped back and used Toukijin's attack. (A/N: I have short term memo. If u guys know what Toukijin's attack is called, please review and tell me. Arigato.) Inuyasha barely had enough time to dodge it. He missed by a hair, and Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga. "NOT in a MILLION years will I give up Tetsusaiga. Don't you get it already? Did it not get it through your thick head? I was left to inherit Tetsusaiga! NOT YOU!" Inuyasha charged at Sesshomaru. "Hmph. No dirty half-breed can use the Tetsusaiga." Sesshomaru jumped and attacked Inuyasha again. "Well, if I'm a half-breed, why am I using Tetsusaiga now? Huh? Tell me, older brother!" Inuyasha was mocking him. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. He was about to transform when he heard a girl scream. "Sesshomaru! Inuyasha! STOP!" Kagome brought herself between both of them. "Ka-Kagome! What are you doing protecting that bastard!" Inuyasha ran to go and bring her into his arms. Kagome stepped back. "Inuyasha. I-I can't return with you at this point." Kagome was crying. She didn't wanna abandon her soon-to-be. "Why? Why, Kagome? Why don't you want to return with us? Shippo, Miroku, and Sango misses you a lot. You have to come back!" Inuyasha ran up and tried to grab her arm. She moved to the side. "You don't know the whole thing, Inuyasha. Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru has a little human girl. She needs to be taken care of first, Inuyasha." Kagome started crying even louder, and dropped to the ground. Sesshomaru just stood there, staring at the couple.
"Kagome. I understand. But don't cry. Please. Onegai. I don't wanna see you hurt." Inuyasha turned facing Sesshomaru. "Fine. I'll stay in the Western Lands until this human girl is taken care of. Kagome will stay for 3 more nights. That is it." Inuyasha turned to Kagome. Before he could speak, Sesshomaru butted in. "You didn't get my message before. I said that if you come to the Western Lands, then you can trade Tetsusaiga for the girl. I wanted Tetsusaiga and you want the girl. So we will just trade. Remember? There is no 'staying' in my lands." Sesshomaru cleared his throat. Inuyasha was stunned. Then…Then Kagome had no reason to stay for a human girl? He was confused at this point. "So…So…Kagome…You want to stay with Sesshomaru? I thought you were dead by now…You know how Sesshomaru is! He is cold hearted. He can't love anybody! He won't care for anybody! Kagome, onegai, come back!" Inuyasha flattened his ears. Sesshomaru by now was walking back to the castle. "Gomen-nasai, Inuyasha, I have no, Wait! Did you just say Sesshomaru was cold-hearted? He isn't like that! You don't know him that well yet! I-I do. He isn't like that. He does have a heart, just doesn't want to show it. I learned it from the girl, Rin. She stayed with him ever since she died and he revived her!" Inuyasha was stunned at Kagome sudden outrage. "So-so you wanna stay? After what you told me," Kagome shook her head. "Gomen." She then ran after Sesshomaru, with tears streaming down her face. "Kagome. You-you betrayed me. You love him too. I can't live with you if you want to love someone else." Inuyasha then ran after Kagome.
'Sesshomaru…Please don't leave me out here!' Kagome thought as she was trying to catch up with him. Sesshomaru, however, was already at the castle. He was pacing back and forth, wondering why Kagome has chosen to stay with him instead of going to Inuyasha. It isn't because of Rin. He knew that. He smelt Kagome nearby, and Inuyasha running after her, with rage. He thought of the danger he could cause to her, but why care? 'I don't care for her. She is just a human. Nothing more.' He thought. 'But you do care for Kagome. She loves you and you love her.' 'There you go again. I don't love her. I don't even know what the hell is love. God damn. Give it a rest already.' Sesshomaru gave a death glare at an innocent/guilty Jaken. "My lord? Are you alright?" Jaken stuttered and bowed. "Jaken. Take Aun and yourself into the forest and look for that human girl by the name of, Kagome. She used to follow with Inuyasha. You should remember her. Strange clothes. You remember?" Sesshomaru turned his back on him. "Hai, my Lord. I know her and will find her for you." Jaken bowed and set off.
MEANWHILE
Kagome was practically running for her life. "Inuyasha. Stop! Daijoubou? Nanio? Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as she was running. "Kagome. Gomen. You-you betrayed me. I can't let this happen. You can't love him! You love me remember? You even told me! I told you!" Inuyasha jumped in front of her. "I-Inuyasha. Who ever said that I love Sesshomaru? Who?" Kagome spat in his face. "You did. Your expression, of course." Inuyasha advanced towards her. "Inuyasha. You've got it all wrong! I don't love him! I love you! And only you!" Kagome was crying. She fell to her knees and hugged them close to her. She kept on crying, she knew that this would effect Inuyasha a lot. But, when she realize that he was right above her. Kagome looked up and Inuyasha flexed his claws. "Kagome. I can't let you live with me, when you love someone else. And since you lied, Kikyo really loves me, not you. And for me to live with her, not to die, Kikyo needs her soul back!" Kagome got up and backed into a tree. "INUYASSHHHAAAAAA!" That was the last thing Kagome said before she blacked out into a world of nothingness……
