Chapter 6

"Yeah I know but I can handle Inuyasha by myself. I too hope we find Kikyo soon for Kaede. I didn't really want to find her but it's for Kaede only" Kagome admitted.

"Kagome how come your in such a happy mood? Before you were heart broken and couldn't put up a smile. Why now?" the little kitsune asked the girl in school uniform.

"It's nothing. I'm just happy you found me" Kagome lied.

"Yeah right..." Shippou saw right through her lie.

The two continued forward unaware what they were in for. They were sure to cross demon territory. The girl from the future and the kitsune kept each other company on the rest of the way. Sesshoumaru, Jaken, Rin, and Ah-Un had left the two to continue on their dangerous journey. Rin skipped over to her lord in front. Jaken tried to stop her but she had tripped him to the floor. Sesshoumaru stopped to see what was all the ruckus in the back.

"Lord Sesshoumaru do you like we made the right decision by leaving Kagome and that fox demon alone in the forest?" Rin tugged on her lord's pants.

"Of course we did you little pest! Don't question Lord Sesshoumaru's decisions" Jaken quickly got up and began to lecture the nine year old girl.

"That's enough Jaken. Rin go keep Ah-Un company back there" Sesshoumaru ordered.

"Yes my lord" Rin obeyed and did what she was told.

"Foolish girl but she does have a point. Was it wise to led the girl in the wrong direction of that dead priestess? She's heading for your ungrateful brother Inuyasha. She said she didn't want to be with that half breed and wanted to find the dead woman on her own" Jaken scratched his head in confusion.

"Didn't you say to no question my decisions?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes but..." Jaken began to sweat.

"Jaken it's not your concern so don't ask about it anymore" Sesshoumaru gave a deadly glare at the toad demon with the staff of two heads in his hand.

"I think I just shortened my life about 100 years" Jaken thought with a fearful expression.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! I think we ought to assist Kagome on her search for that miko she was talking about" Rin insisted.

Sesshoumaru looked at Rin's innocent face and didn't say a word.

"Why should I do that Rin?" Sesshoumaru walked over to the little girl.

"She could get in...trouble with a youkai and she needs protection from a strong demon like yourself" Rin eyes began to twinkle from the sun light.

"AHH!" Jaken's jaw dropped. "He's...he's...actually going to help Inuyasha's wench? I can't believe this! This is an out rage. How could the all mighty Lord Sesshoumaru just help a human just like that?" With that...Jaken fainted from the surprising actions of his lord.

Sesshoumaru was heading back to the direction of where they came from. He was heading towards Kagome and Shippou. He was actually going to help them out in finding Kikyo. What is wrong with him. Why is he being so caring? Is it Rin's love and for being so nice?

"Wake up Master Jaken. Don't be left behind again" Rin called out to the unconscious Jaken.

"Wait for me. Please don't leave me behind again!" Jaken quickly got up and joined his lord and the homeless girl.

"Jaken. Rin. Get on Ah-Un and catch up with me later. I'm going ahead before the girl meets up with Inuyasha" Sesshoumaru ordered and began to glow white.

A white sphere surrounded Sesshoumaru and he disappeared inside it. Not like he completely disappeared, he wasn't visible that's what I mean. He lifted him self into the air and moved into hyperspeed. In a flash, Sesshoumaru was gone from sight and his followers soared through the air on the two headed dragon, Ah-Un. The two headed dragon soared through the air with blue flames on its feet. Not like it hurt him or nothin'. Kagome walked through the dark forest with Shippou on her shoulder(Lucky for him). Shippou was getting bored so he flipped himself on his stomach on Kagome's Shoulder. His head was now facing back of them. The kitsune looked up to the sky and saw a small speck in the bright blue sky. He squinted his eyes to see what it was but still couldn't make out the figure. Still staring at the small object up above, it kept getting bigger. Soon Shippou made out a sphere shape and it looked like the sun.

Out of no where, Shippou asked Kagome if the sun could come down or get bigger. Kagome laughed and replied it was silly and it wasn't possible. Shippou disagreed and made Kagome look up. Kagome was speechless and her eyes widened. Kagome began to run as fast as she could, but tripped on a root of a tree that stuck out of the soil. Shippou tumbled onto the ground and Kagome landed right on her face. NOT trying to be mean! The white orb came down from the sky and landed gracefully on the ground. The white orb disappeared and there, Sesshoumaru, standing behind the fallen girl. Shippou bounced back up and noticed the youkai in front of him. The kitsune trembled, assuming they were done for. Shippou's tail rattled viciously, biting his lip trying to hold back the tears, and trying to warn the fallen girl about the 'danger'.

Sesshoumaru just stood there, wondering why Shippou was so afraid. Not too long ago, he was okay being around him but maybe his entrance scared him a bit. Kagome struggled up, with shooting pain in her ankle and quickly grabbed it to try to ease the pain. Once she grabbed a hold of it, her eyes tightened shut, and when she opened them up again, she noticed someone was in front of her. Kagome's first reaction was to scream and she did. Her cries echoed in the forest and faded as it traveled in the distance. Inuyasha heard her cry and began to pick up speed. Kagome stopped screaming to see why Sesshoumaru had came back. Was he going to kill her this time? Was he here to kidnap her? Which she doubted and had no idea way she had thought that in the first place. Shippou stopped shaking seeing Sesshoumaru hadn't slaughtered them yet. If he really came to do that, he would have done it already.

"What do you want Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked in a rude tone.

"I've simply came here to retrieve you for Rin. She was getting worried about you" Sesshoumaru said with no expression.

"And you're actually going to do it? How come you're listening to her? What happened to the ruthless, heartless, cold Sesshoumaru? How come you've changed to be so different?" Kagome started with her questioning.

"Do you ever run out of questions Kagome?" It was like Shippou read Sesshoumaru's mind.

"I'm just curious" Kagome made a fake laugh.

Sesshoumaru held out a hand and Kagome smiled a little but it was soon ruined. After Kagome held out her hand, Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist instead of her hand. Ah-Un, Rin, and Jaken were now over head and Sesshoumaru throw Kagome up into the air. Kagome began to scream again and she began to tear. Rin caught her hand and helped her up. Kagome's hair was all messy and shit.(I'm so evil. Sesshoumaru was getting too nice so I had to make him a bit mean. No offence to you Fluffy fanatics, I just thought I was ruining his character) Shippou quickly transformed into the pink bubble and then floated to Kagome. Once he reached her, Shippou transformed into his cute self! Kagome held the kitsune in her arms, like she held Buyo in the first episode when she was being pulled into the well. Remember! If not, okay fine! Be that way! Rin greeted Kagome with a sweet smile and Jaken gave a devilish look. You could tell he didn't want to be bothered with anymore mortal girls. Rin was a handful and now he had Kagome. Sesshoumaru flew beside Ah-Un except without the white orb thingy. Kagome then noticed they were traveling the opposite direction from where she was heading.

"Um? Sesshoumaru...we're heading in the wrong direction. I'm trying to find Kikyo if you had forgotten" Kagome blinked in confusion.

"We're traveling the right direction. Kikyo is this way" Sesshoumaru answered.

"Then where the heck was I going? You were the one who told me to travel that way!" Kagome rose her voice.

"I lied" Sesshoumaru replied.

"You knew Inuyasha was in that direction and you were leading me right to him. I told you I didn't want his help! You're just like him! Always taking advantage of me being human! Argh, you two are so ruthless. If that made any sense!" Kagome began to complain about Fluffy's trickery.

The hanyou reached the spot where Kagome had fallen. Her scent still existed there and he noticed some other familiar scents along with hers. For one, Sesshoumaru's was defiantly recognized. For the other scent, Inuyasha began to make a snarling sound. Shippou had found Kagome first and I bugged him that he handed found Kagome before him. The on thing that confused him was that her scent stopped there. Her scent didn't exist from behind him and the scent went on in front of him. She either had to come flying in and continue into the dark forest or she could have came from in front of him and fly off into the skies. But how could she do that. Shippou sure wasn't strong enough to hold a person and Sesshoumaru was combined by both of their scents, he would have taken them. The hanyou's mind was racing and every thought was a possibility to him. Sesshoumaru could have abducted them or do something which he didn't know what to conclude. Well that's actually me!LOL! Maybe not. I'm bored so stop making the weird looks! Okay I'm done...for now...hehehehehehe...okay I'm really gonna stop. No really.

"Damn it! Sesshoumaru you better not hurt her or I'll tare you from limb by limb" Inuyasha jumped up into the air to see something in the air in the far distance. "Excellent" Inuyasha jumped from tree top to tree top in order to catch up.

"Is she far Sesshoumaru?" Kagome and her questions.

"Yes..." Sesshoumaru quickly answered.

After Kagome had asked Sesshoumaru, she began to sense a sacred jewel shard. Kikyo carried one shard which she obtained from a dying man in episode...87: Kikyo's Lonely Journey. The dead miko was near by not near enough to give a pin point location. Inuyasha was catching fast and with this rate, he should reach the traveling party before they find the dead miko. The hanyou had both worry and anger inside him. Worried if Kagome was okay and her running off like that without telling him where she was off to. Inuyasha couldn't do anything but worry about the girl and be angry with her. Shippou had found her first and he didn't.

"There! There she is Kagome" Shippou shouted at the girl.

"Shippou you don't have to yell. I'm right here" she covered her ears with her hands.

In an instant, Ah-Un was heading downward to the woman in the white and red kimono, carrying a bow and arrows on her shoulder. Hair was held back with a white ribbon and sandals on her clay feet. Kikyo felt the presence and immediately looked up. Once the two headed dragon landed Kagome got off ready to barf her guts out from such a landing. Kikyo in surprise, Kagome was with Inuyasha's brother instead of him.

"Kagome?" Kikyo started out suspicious.

"Hold on. Let my stomach calm down first" Kagome had a hand on her stomach and the other on her forehead.

A minute passed and Kagome's stomach settled.

"Kikyo it's Kaede. She was killed by a demon two days ago" Kagome swallowed hard and tears began to form.

"So my younger sister finally died. Hmm, we both fall into a demon's hands and both die miserable deaths. How ironic" Kikyo showed no sadness over her sister's death.

"Okay. How come she is taking this so well?" Kagome wondered as she gave Kikyo a strange look. "Kaede request you come back to the village and take your place of being head priestess once again. She also mentioned, your mother loves you" With that, Kikyo began to shed tears. "NOW she's crying? Was it the mother thing?"

"Ka...go...me!" Inuyasha came in fast and headed towards the young miko.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome knew she was in trouble now.

"And where the hell have you been? I've been tracking you down for hours and the little runt finds you! And why the hell are you here Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha didn't notice his old love was standing there.

"Let's be off" Sesshoumaru turned his back and started off.

"What the hell? No fight? What is this, a bad day for you Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha was asking for it...he grabbed a hold of Tetsusaiga.

"Inuyasha I'm in no fighting mood. Taking care of your wench, took a big bite out of the time when I was supposed to find Naraku" Sesshoumaru exclaimed.

"Took care of my wench?" Inuyasha's grip on Tetsusaiga loosened.

"My name ain't wench, girl, miko, or mortal. It's Kagome!" Kagome argued.

"I know that!" Inuyasha yelled back but then paused when he caught his eye on Kikyo.

"I wasn't talking to you Inuyasha...Inuyasha?" Kagome was being ignored.

"Kikyo?" Inuyasha mumbled.
