Not much has changed for Kagome and Inuyasha. Except now they had there own room when it came to inns. "Why must they get a seperate room?" Shippou asked.

"I'll tell you when you're older..." Miroku sighed. Shuichi's jaw dropped.

"When you say stuff like that," Shuichi glared at Miroku, "I can imagine it..." She shivered.

Sango laughed, "It is odd to think of such a thing..."

"Yeah, so can we think of what's goin' to happen now? Sesshoumaru's scent keeps on coming and going. And three days straight, I've smelt it, each minute a bit stronger." Shuichi said, trying not to gag.

"So... Sesshoumaru wants you dead? Just like Inuyasha?" Shippou asked.

"Yes. For a few reasons." Shuichi told them.

"Same for Inuyasha." Miroku and Sango said.

"Really?" Shuichi asked.

"Yeah, have you noticed how Sesshoumaru's arm is gone?" Shippou asked. Shuichi nodded, "Well, Inuyasha did that as soon as he got hold of Tetsusaiga appearntly."

"And since Inuyasha's a half demon." Miroku said.

"He wants us dead." Shuichi smiled a bitter smile. She stood up, "I'll be right back." And with that, she left the room.

"Okay..." all three blinked.

Shuichi walked down the hallway, 'Which room... Which room...' she thought. She finally found it, Inuyasha and Kagome's. "Hey, little brother!" Shuichi knocked on the door.

After a quick pause, "What?" he asked. It took a minute, but Inuyasha, with only his hakama pants on, he opened the door.

"Yeah, see, we knew it. But I need Tetsusaiga. If it works for you, it should for me." Shuichi said.

"That lecher of a monk..." Inuyasha growled, "But why do you need my sword?" Inuyasha glared.

"Look, I am not going to break it!" Shuichi retorted. Inuyasha refused it, but Kagome, wearing Inuyasha's red haori, gave it to Shuichi, "Hey, thanks Kagome!"

"Kagome...!" Inuyasha growled.

"Look, its been about a month since we met her, Inuyasha. Oh, just come on..." Kagome dragged the growling Inuyasha inside, and went back to the door, "For whatever reason, good luck."

"Thanks." Shuichi smiled and left the mto do what they were doing. Shuichi ran outside the village and sniffed the air, 'Come on...' she thought.

Just as she thought this, the person she was so edgy about emerged from the forest, with a young girl, an imp, and a demon horse with two heads. "Ah, Little Sister..." he said.

"M'lord, why waste our--"

"Jaken," Sesshoumaru said.

"Y-yes?"

"Silence/" Sesshoumaru commanded.

"Yes, M'lord." Jaken said. Rin smiled and ran to Shuichi.

"Miss! It's been so long!" Rin smiled and hugged Shuichi's legs.

"Nice to see you, too, Rin." Shuichi smiled, "So, Sesshoumaru, why are you here?"

"Well... I was here for Tetsusaiga and to kill Inuyasha. But I can see you hold Tetsusaiga and that he seems to be... Busy." Sesshoumaru smirked.

"Oh, gross. Even I make my nose not smell stuff like that!" Shuichi unsheathed Tetsusaiga, and it grew massively, "Wow, this is so light..."

"Too bad you won't have it too long!" Sesshoumaru vanished.

"Uh... Rin, move!" Shuichi ordered, "Go to that horse, NOW!"

Rin ran, just as she got away from Rin, Shuichi felt her stomach turn. She opened her mouth to scream, but no sound. Shuichi rose the Tetsusaiga, and swung above her head. She hit Sesshoumaru's head, and that allowed him to drop Shuichi. "Aughh.." Shuichi gasped for air.

Sesshoumaru had blood trickling down from his forehead, "I should have killed the day I threw you out."

"Yeah... Yeah..." Shuichi growled in pain. But thanks to pride, she stood up. Inuyasha, still only in his hakama pants, and Kagome, wearing Inuyasha's red haori, came into the clearing.

"I knew leaving you alone with Tetsusaiga would cause problems..." Inuyasha said, "Iron Reavor!" he attacked Sesshoumaru, who easily dodged.

"Jaken, Take Ah-Un and Rin away from here." Sesshoumaru said, quickly dodging Inuyasha's claw attacks.

"Uh... Yes, M'lord." Jaken and Rin vanished, along with Ah-Un.

"Inuyahsa, behind you!" Kagome warned.

Too late, Sesshoumaru's Toujikin attack slashed Inuyasha, and Shuichi who tried to block the attack. "So, Little brother, am I expecting any new half breeds to kill?" Sesshoumaru cackled.

"Shu... Dup." Inuyasha said, standing weak. Tetsusaiga was on the ground, by Kagome, "Kag.." Inuyasha could only lift his arm towards the sword, which Kagome knew. Kagome ran and got the sword before Sesshoumaru could get it.

"I will leave now. Only because Jaken treats Rin wrong." Sesshoumaru's laugh echoed some as he left. As soon as Kagome went to Inuyasha, Shuichi's chest glowed a bright blue. The Amulet of Choas healed her suddenly, but it was weaker.

"Wow..." Kagome blinked as she saw this.

"Here, Let me take Inuyasha." Shuichi offered. Kagome nodded. Shuichi lifted Inuyasha onto her back and the girls started off to the village. "Are you planning to have offspring before Naraku's dead?"

"Um..." Kagome blushed at the comment, "No. Atleast if it happens..."

"It's stupid to do this until it's safe to." Shuichi said.

"Why?" Kaogme asked.

"Um... For one, look ay Inuyasha. He'll kill himself to protect YOU. And with him dead, will Naraku die? No. And you bearing Inuyasha's child, that'll mean Sesshoumaru AND Naraku will try and kill you. And I, for one, don't want to see you dead." Shuichi explained.

"Oh..." Kagome looked down and nodded. Shuichi dropped Inuyasha in the room Shuichi and the others shared.

"Oho! I knew it!" Miroku gave a sly smirk.

Kagome took an empty rice bowl and tossed it at the monk's head, "Shuichi, lemme see Tetsusaiga." Kagome said.

"Uh... Okay..." Shuichi handed Kagome Tetsusaiga, which Kagome took it and began banging Miroku's head with it.

"I'd let Inuyasha take care of you, monk, but he's injured!" Kagome growled. Shippou and Sango were cracking up as Shuichi blinked. Then Shuichi took off the Amulet and let it touch Inuyasha's torso. All of asudden, the injuries vanished.

"What happened?" Inuyasha asked.

"Not much. But... "Shuichi coughed, "Miroku was a lecher about what you two were doing..." Shuichi pointed to Miroku and Kagome, who was still beating Miroku. Inuyasha got up and growled/

"Miroku..." Inuyasha snarled.

"Oh, no!" Miroku whimpered. Sango and Shippou fell over laughing
