Inuyasha was desperately searching for Kagome. Every waking moment was filled with thoughts of her. He knew he had to save her. She had already been gone for weeks. Was she even alive anymore?

NO! I can't think like that. She had to be. She just had to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I rode on the back of the beast. My Almost shear gown flapping in the wind. White fur trim tickling the back of my neck. My dark hair had been piled on top of my head. I wrapped my arms around Sesshoumaru's strong body. I laid my cheek to his back taking in the moment.

He said we were going to find Inuyasha. That name ment something to me once before but why does it matter now. I'm here with my love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Miroku, Come on. Time to wake up. I heard a rumor that Sesshoumaru has been seen near by."

Miroku, Shippo, and Sango were just as anxious to find Kagome.

"Let's go."

I saw them approaching from the distance. I stood tall and proud next to my Sesshoumaru. The two of us as regal as mighty kings and queens of old fairy tales. Beautiful and strong, dignified and serene.

Inuyasha saw me. And called out to me like a friend. I know this should be important. These people should be important.

"It is no use, Inuyasha. Kagome has decided that she prefers the company of a full demon. Not some half breed bastard child such as yourself."

Sesshoumaru came here just to taunt him. He told me so. So why is it bothering me. Those horrid names.

"We have just come here to let you know that you no longer need to continue this. . . rescue? Is that not right my love?"

". . . "

I'm supossed to answer. But how can I hurt my friends like this. That's right. These are my friends. . .

Sesshoumaru looked to Kagome. The spell is wearing loose.

He suddenly gathered me into his arms and kissed me passionatly to the disgust of everyone.

Inuyasha, seeing me put up no restraint, but instead accepting, turned and walked away teeth grinding.

"Inuyasha, listen to me!"

"Leave me be, Miroku! I don't want to hear any of your damn lies. It's not like I loved her or anything."

"Quite lying to yourself! And let me finish. When he kissed her, I could feel it. He was using magic on her."

"What?!"

"He's using a spell to cloak her true feelings. Or displacing them."

". . . "

"He's using her love for you, you ass. He's just shifting it from you to him."

"Well what am I supposed to do? Why don't you tell me that?"

"Magic has no true power over the human heart! If we could shift her love back to you where it belongs the spell will be broken."

"How am I supposed to do that?''

"You'll have to find her and show her how much You love her."

"Fine. Let's go."

Sesshoumaru looked to the human sleeping in his bed. This started as a simple plan to ransome her away for the Tetseiga. Now it's much more.

Could it really be that the great Sesshoumaru. Son of the Great dog Demon, could fall in love with a human girl.

How is it that a girl he is supposed to be controling can hold such sway over his feeling.

He stepped over to the bed. Her naked body almost visible through the thin sheets. He bent over her and kissed her gently.

"I love you my dear Kagome."
