AkeryouSesshoumarusMate I wasn't planning on putting him in but if requested I could find a place for him.

Lunar Protector I'll keep writing as long as I have readers!

Thanks to all my reviewers and readers. Now on with the story…

When Inuyasha woke up the next morning he was confused. 'All I remember was her scratching my ears then nothing. Did I fall asleep?'

'Eventually you did.'

'What did I do when I wasn't?'

'Well it wasn't exactly you.'

'Did you come out!'

'Hey we made a deal! I was allowed to be out!'

'What did you do!'

'Calm down. All I did was nuzzle into her neck…' 'YOU WHAT!' '…nipped her a little…'

'YOUR LYING!'

'…and then fell asleep with my head in her neck and arms around her.'

'AND SHE LET YOU!'

'Of course! She's my err our mate! Why wouldn't she?'

'Of course I'm not even conscious enough to enjoy it.'

'Is that what your so upset about? That it wasn't you?'

Just then Kagome started stirring causing Inuyasha to stop arguing with himself. He slowly got out of bed and stretched. 'Its getting harder to pry myself out of bed lately.' He then left to go about his daily task of catching breakfast.

Most of the day was uneventful. After lunch Kagome couldn't take the boredom any more and went exploring. For once Shippo was not with her. He had decided to go off and practice something we refused to tell Kagome. He said it was a surprise. Sango was down stairs attempting to kill Miroku and in turn Miroku was trying to live. Who knew where Inuyasha was. He normally left for somewhere and came back for meals. That left one bored Kagome and a huge castle.

As she was walking down a hallway a new staircase came into view. 'How could I have missed that?' thought Kagome as she started to climb the stairs. Out of nowhere Miroku and Sango popped up right in front on her. The sudden appearance caught Kagome off guard and caused her to stumble backwards. She gave a small shriek before she landed on her butt.

Once she got over the shock she stood up and spoke, "Don't do that! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Sango and Miroku just stood there. In Kagome's eyes they looked nervous and suspicious. "Uh can you guys move? I want to continue exploring."

"If you wanted a tour you should have just asked us! We would be happy to show you around. Right Miroku?" Sango said at a rapid speed as she grabbed one of Kagome's arms.

"Of course we would! Come Lady Kagome we have much to show you." Miroku agreed as he got Kagome's other arm and helped Sango steer her away from the staircase.

Kagome turned so they where walking up the stairs. "Thank you so much! You can start by escorting me up these stairs!"

Miroku switched their direction so that now they where heading down the stairs. "You don't want to go up there! It's all dusty and dirty! There's nothing up there to look at."

"Oh and there are spiders everywhere!" Sango joined in.

Kagome had managed to get out of both of their grips. "Then there shouldn't be a problem with me going to look up there, after all there's nothing there right?" Kagome questioned.

"Right… but we have so many more interesting places! Wouldn't you rather go see the library? Paintings?"

"Maybe later." Kagome brushed them off.

"How about the garden? We have a wonderful outdoor garden!" pleaded Sango.

Kagome turned around and squealed. "You have a garden? Really!"

Sango and Miroku breathed a sigh of relief. They linked arms and started down the stairs with Kagome trailing behind them.

"Oh yes a lovely garden!"

"Filled with any and every flower you can imagine!"

"And a wonderful waterfall!"

"Completely secluded."

Sango and Miroku made their way down the hall arms still linked babbling on how great the garden was. Both assumed that Kagome was following them.

Kagome had turned around and slipped up the stairs as soon as she was sure they wouldn't notice. She was currently standing outside a door. Before she entered though she knocked and waited for a reply, when she received none she proceeded to enter.

The first thing she noticed was how big the room was. It was even bigger than Inuyasha's, which was huge by her standards. It was also filthy wreck. Furniture was broken and scattered everywhere. It was if some large animal had gotten angry or panicked. Most everything was in shreds and the dirt looked as if it was a permanent layer on everything.

There were two things that interested Kagome the most. One was a rather large painting hanging on a wall. It was perfectly intact. No claw marks and only a fine layer of dust. It consisted of three people and two moons. One the left was a handsome young human man. He had long midnight black hair and violet eyes. Above him were stars.

In the middle was the most beautiful person Kagome had ever seen. He had long flowing silver hair, golden amber eyes, and fuzzy white ears. She guessed he was a hanyou and he was standing under a half moon. When she got to the last person she gasped.

There stood her Inuyasha. His blood red eyes and piercing blue pupils looked bloodthirsty and frightening. Nothing like they do know. She would have said it wasn't him except they both had the ragged purple streaks along his cheeks. Above him was a full moon. They all dressed in what appeared to be an old fire rat coat. She had only seen them in pictures. After looking over the picture for a moment she noticed the striking similarity between the three men. She soon tore her eyes away from the picture and turned her gaze to the soft glowing light in the middle of the room.

Curious she crossed the room to see what was causing the light. Her eyes widened when she saw a jewel. It wasn't perfectly round but pretty close. It radiated a soft pink glow and look like it was a necklace for it had shells forming a string. Kagome had but a moment to admire it when she was distracted by a feral growl.

Kagome whirled around at the sound and calmed down a little when she saw Inuyasha. "Oh its just you. Don't scare me like that." Kagome said with a sigh. When his growl got louder and more dangerous she started feeling a little frightened. "Inuyasha?"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" He yelled as he advanced upon her. The sudden outburst caused Kagome to take a step beck and whimper slightly at his tone. "WELL! ANSWER ME DAMN IT! I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME UP HERE!"

Though Kagome was still afraid she was also starting to get angry. "You did not tell me I couldn't come up here! I was only exploring! I haven't done anything wrong so don't yell at me!"

"I'LL YELL IF I WANT TO! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULDN'T BE YELLING! IN FACT I ORDER YOU TO NOT YELL!"

"And why would I listen to you! I'll yell if I want to!"

"YOU'LL LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I OWN YOU! REMEMBER THE WELL FARE OF YOUR FAMILY LIES IN MY HANDS! NOW GET OUT!"

Kagome paled at the mention of her family and flinched as he raised his voice when he told her to get out. And she did just that.
