Chapter2

Sesshomaru starts to work with Lightning.

After eating lunch and washing dishes. Inuyasha lead Sesshomaru to Lightning's corral. Sesshomaru looked into the corral and saw a blue roan mustang run by.

"Who's that?" asked Sesshomaru.

"That is Lightning Azul's and Black Magic's three-year-old son." said Inuyasha.

"Why is he so wild?" asked Sesshomaru.

"He got loose when was one. And I didn't catch him until a week ago. He's three-year-old now." explained Inuyasha.

"What do you want me to do with him?" asked Sesshomaru.

"Well first you have to gain his trust." said Inuyasha.

Inuyasha opened the wide enough for Sesshomaru to go in. Once Sesshomaru was in the corral Inuyasha closed the gate. Lightning just let out a shrill neigh and ran by Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru is scared of the rampaging mustang.

"Sesshomaru try walking in front of him with your shoulders relaxed and your head low." said Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru did just that but Lightning ran the other way. After a few failed trys Inuyasha said " here try getting him to come close with some hay. Sesshomaru took some hay and walked toward Lightning. Lightning stopped galloping and went into a walk. He can see the hay in Sesshomaru's hand. Lightning slowly walked up to Sesshomaru. He stopped and slowly started to eat the hay. Inuyasha smiled and said "now with your free hand slowly try to pet him. Sesshomaru slowly moved his free had toward Lightning's muzzle. When Sesshomaru moved his free hand Lightning took off.

"Well that's all for today. We'll work with him after chores tomorrow. Because Kagome and I have to go to a barrel racing competition to go to." said Inuyasha

"Don't you think Azul and Black Magic are to old to barrel race?" asked Sesshomaru.

"Nope the oldest barrel racer ever was ten-years-old." said Inuyasha.

The next day after chores Sesshomaru is back in Lightning's corral. Lightning is eating from Sesshomaru's hand. This time Sesshomaru free hand was a few inches away when Lightning took off. After leaving the corral they went to the barn. Sesshomaru is helping Inuyasha get Azul and Black Magic ready to go. After wrapping Azul's and Black Magic's legs. Inuyasha lead Azul and Black Magic out of the barn. Then he loaded Azul and Black Magic into the trailer. Just then Kagome came out of the barn. She put two saddles, bridles, and reins in the trailer.

"Would you like to come too Sesshomaru?" asked Kagome.

"Sure why not." said Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru got into the truck with Inuyasha and Kagome and away they went. A half an hour later Inuyasha parked his truck. They all got out and unloaded the horses. While Sesshomaru and Kagome groom Azul and Black Magic. Inuyasha went to tell the judges that they arrived. He came and saw that Azul and Black Magic are tacked and ready to go. Inuyasha gave Kagome her number which is ten. He got number nine. Just then Kagome's best friend Rin appeared.

"Hey Kagome good luck today." said Rin.

"Thank you Rin. Aren't you entering in?" asked Kagome.

"No my horse got sick and died." said Rin sadly.

"That's terrible Rin. If you want you can use Storm at the next competition." said Kagome.

"Thanks Kagome I think I might do that." said Rin.

Inuyasha got on Azul and Kagome got on Black Magic. They rode to the arena with Rin and Sesshomaru walking behind. Rin is twenty-four years old has black hair and brown eyes. She looked over at Sesshomaru and asked "who are you?"

"I'm Sesshomaru I'm Inuyasha's older half brother." he explained.

"Oh your the one that's a bad ass." said Rin.

"Not anymore I'm turning my life around. That's why I'm living with Inuyasha and Kagome." said Sesshomaru.

Rin and Sesshomaru sat on the bleachers to watch. Right now there is rider wearing the number six is racing around the barrels. Soon the judge called for number which is Kagome and Black Magic. Black Magic looks good for a seven-year-old barrel racing Quarter Horse. Kagome put Black Magic into a gallop and raced around the barrels. Sesshomaru can't believe how fast the old mare was going. the timer stopped when Black Magic raced out of the arena. Her time is 14.168 which is good. Then the judge called for number ten which is Inuyasha and Azul. Inuyasha put Azul into a gallop and raced around the barrels. The timer said 14.152 when Inuyasha and Azul left the arena.

"The winner is Inuyasha and Azul." said the judge.

The purse is one hundred thousand dollars. But Inuyasha still doesn't have enough money to buy Blue Moon's territory. Back at Inuyasha's truck Sesshomaru helped Kagome untack the horses. The barrel racing championship isn't for three months. Inuyasha loaded and Black Magic into the trailer. Rin walked up to Kagome and asked "do you mind if I come up and ride Storm?"

"Not at all Rin you can come up at anytime." said Kagome.

The next day after chores Sesshomaru is in Lightning's corral. Just then he saw a red truck park next to the barn. The truck's door opened and Rin got out. She closed her truck door and went into the barn. Again Lightning took off when Sesshomaru's hand got to close. Sesshomaru had a feeling it would take a while to tame Lightning. Two months later Sesshomaru has gained Lightning's trust. He also has gotten a saddle and reins on him. Over the two months Kagome and Inuyasha entered in six barrel racing competitions. Together they've earned $300,000 dollars.

Now Inuyasha has $800,000 dollars which still isn't enough. Today Inuyasha, Kagome, and Rin are at Lightning's corral. Today Sesshomaru is going to get on Lightning's back. Sesshomaru has already has put on his reins and saddle. He put a foot in the stirrup. Lightning stood still and sneezed. Sesshomaru got up into the saddle and Lightning broke into a nervous trot.

"It's ok Lightning I'm here." said Sesshomaru.

Lightning calmed down and went into a calm trot. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Rin cheered as Sesshomaru rode Lightning around the corral. Now Lightning can go back into the pasture with Azul, Black Magic, Storm, Black Forest, and Blue Angel. And Lightning can sleep in a nice warm stall. Now Inuyasha and Kagome are getting ready for the barrel racing championship. But as they got ready Azul and Black Magic went lame. Kagome could ride Storm but Rin is riding Storm in a competition. Lightning would need to be retrained to start barrel racing again. Thanks to all of this Kagome and Inuyasha gave up on their dream.

next chapter Rin and Sesshomaru start dateing.
