Dislaimer: I own nothing!

Chapter 6: How the did I get here?

A/N: Kikyou is very out of character in this one, but I don't like her so I don't care.

Kagome stirred in her sleep as the older youkai sped to his castle in the West with a toad demon following closely behind. Kagome could feel soft hair tickeling her face as the wind made her shiver, as an unconcious action she snuggled closer to Sesshomaru's chest. He looked at her with disgust and thought ' Weak human, how can they sleep so long, she's beginning to tire this Sesshomaru out.' As they reached the castle Kagome was drifting in and out of her sleep. She didn't feel right, she felt like she shouldn't be in the arms of Inuyasha. (remember, she thinks it's Inuyasha who is carrying her not Sesshomaru) Kagome blinked her eyes opened and saw the pale blue sky and trees whizzing by her, she moved her gaze to the not so Inuyasha-like demon holding her, taking her somewhere.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome struggled to get free of his grasp but was having no luck as she felt his painful claws dig into her back. She whinced at the stinging sensation and yelled again. "Let. Me. Go! Put me down!"

Sesshomaru stopped and dropped the miko flat on her hiney with a thud.

"Thanks." she muttered.

Kagome stood up rubbing her rump and looked to her surroundings, this part of the forest wasn't familiar to her and she didn't feel safe.

"Why do you have to be so loud you wretched human? You're hurting my ears." he scowled.

"I'll yell and scream all I want! You're not the boss of me anyway!" Kagome turned around and crossed her arms over her chest in victory.

Sesshomaru on the other hand felt otherwise. He quickly but smoothly strode up to Kagome and turned her around, placing a sharp smack on the side of her peach cheek. Kagome looked at the dog youkai and rasied her hand to her throbbing face. No one had ever hit her like that before, and it wasn't going to start now. Tears began to form in her eyes and se quickly whirled around so the demon couldn't see she was hurt.

Sesshomaru of course could tell she was crying because he could smell her tears in the crisp air. He looked to Jaken and gestured a nod, telling the toad that he should go without them to the castle. The toad understood this sign and left right away.

Kagome wiped her streaming tears as she noticed the green toad running further into the forest, and taking it as a sing to follow Kagome began to follow but was stopped by a strong hand on her shoulder. Kagome looked at the pale skin accompanied by long claws and turned around to face the demon. Sesshomaru was still cold faced as ever and that sent chills up her spine. Kagome knew he wasn't going to talk first, so she decided to give it a shot.

"Why did you bring me here?" she asked as politely as she could. She didn't want to get hit again.

"You were trying to kill yourself were you not? Jumping off that half-demon's cloud was the only way you could escape him. Right?"

Kagome shook her head yes and remembered the memory that had flashed before her eyes and wondered if Inuyasha was looking for her, or even if he cared.

Inuyasha

"Inuyasha? Kagome tried to kill you? But why?" asked Sango in disbelief.

"We had an arguement and we both sorta lost it." Inuyasha gave a look to Kikyou telling her not to say anything about his demon form, but she payed no heed.

"What do you mean you both sorta lost it?" questioned Kikyou. "What did you do Inuyasha? Surely you didn't try to hurt her did you?"

"What does she mean Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

"Nothing, she means nothing!" Inuyasha crossed his arms and headed for the trees in his shame.

Sango and Miroku surrounded Kikyou along with Kilala and Shippo ready to fire questions at will.

"What did he do to her?" asked Sango in a cold voice. Kikyou told the story of what she saw and the monk and demon slayer were very apalled at both their comrads actions to one another.

"Kagome tried to kill Inuyasha?" said Sango. Tears were coming to her eyes, how could two people like them that fit together so well, just break apart like that? Sure, they have had spats in the past but nothing to this extent. And, Inuyasha could have killed Kagome, they were both ready to kill the other.

"This is not turning out well. We need to fix this mess soon." said the monk.
