Chapter 2 Goodbye to You

Inuyasha through the village in a blur of red. "Inuyasha slow down" sango yelled to the half demon. "I wonder why he's in such a rush" miroku pondered. But as we all know miroku can never keep his hands to himself. "Inuya-ahh" THWAP "miroku keep your hands to yourself you hentai" sango threatened. 'idiot' shippo thought to himself. "hey where'd Inuyasha get to" shippo asked noticing that Inuyasha was gone. "I don't know, kilala can you find him" sango asked the two tail. She only gave a growl and took to the air.

Meanwhile Inuyasha was almost to the forest entrance. 'damn it, why is kagome with him. What could he possibly want with her' he thought to himself over and over again. Finally he reached the entrance to Inuyasha's Forest. And just like he smelt, kagome was with him. She seemed ok. He wasn't picking up any type of fear from her, only sadness. 'what the hell is she so sad for'. but he was snapped from his thoughts when his brother spoke to him. "hello Inuyasha" he spit out with venom. "Sesshomaru, what the hell do you want. If you've come to take Tetseiga(sp?) from me then you've got another thing comin" Inuyasha barked out, forgetting all about kagome. 'he doesn't even care that I'm with Sesshomaru' kagome thought sadly. Sesshomaru being the great demon he is picked up on her sadness before his half brother.

"hn, Inuyasha you fool, you stand there trying to protect your precious Tetseiga when you fail to notice that I've got kagome". with that being said Inuyasha fixed his attention to kagome. Her eyes glossed over with tears. "it's a shame that you'd rather protect an undead corpse with Tetseiga, than a live human being. Can't you see that you've broken her heart many again, you shouldn't even be able to have such a loyal companion such as her" Sesshomaru said as he wrapped his arm around kagome's waist. This shocked kagome but pissed Inuyasha off. "get your filthy hands off over her" Inuyasha yelled as he charged at Sesshomaru with Tetseiga drawn from its sheath.

"kagome". "lady kagome". "momma". three voices called out to her. It was of course shippo, sango and miroku. They had finally arrived. Only to see her with Sesshomaru's hand around her waist. Sango jumped off of kilala with her Hiratsu ready. That's when kagome felt a herself being jerked off of the ground. And when she happened to look down she clutched onto Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha I've not come here to fight you only to return kagome to you" "yeah right" "hn, you don't believe me then I guess you really don't want kagome back" he said as Inuyasha stopped in mid attack. Sesshomaru grinned as his feet touched the ground again. 'he seems to still harbor a little feeling left for her'. Sesshomaru then pulled her close to him and whispered into her ear "remember your welcome to stay with me if need be". with all the sudden contact from Sesshomaru kagome felt a shiver run through her spine. His breath had tickled her ear. 'holy crap he's so close and he smells so good. Oh my what am I thinking this is Sesshomaru' she thought as heat once again made an appearance on her face. While he was enjoying himself Inuyasha was seething. His blood boiling. Seeing Inuyasha angry made Sesshomaru even more entertained.

Sesshomaru still hadn't pulled away from kagome's ear. That's when Inuyasha just boiled over the top. He charged with Tetseiga. But before he even reached them, kagome said two words "Sit Boy". that sent Inuyasha crashing to the ground. Sesshomaru smirked at his brothers frustration. Inuyasha lifted his head only to see Sesshomaru plant a soft kiss on kagome's cheek. "why you…" and with that Sesshomaru disappeared. Kagome was indeed shocked at the demon lords action. "kagome are you ok" sango asked as she rushed over to her. "umm yeah I'm alright" "he didn't hurt you did he?" miroku asked in his serious tone. "yeah I'm sure". "hey wench, what in seven hells were you doin wit Sesshomaru" Inuyasha yelled at her. Kagome didn't say anything she just picked up shippo and walked back to the village. "momma are you ok" shippo asked. "yes shippo I'm fine" she answered sweetly.

"hey get back here kagome I'm talkin to you". kagome turned around to give him a glare that would make Sesshomaru proud. "you maybe talking to me but I'm not talking to you" she retorted. Her voice sounded angry and hurt. "now lets get back to the village, its starting to get dark" she said plainly. "kagome's right more demons come out at night. Inuyasha 'Feh'd as he walked with the group.

Inu's POV

'why's she mad at me'

Cause you hurt her

'who the hell are you'

I'm called your conscious

'well what the hell are you doin here'

You know damn well why I'm here

'oh yeah'

Truth was that he had no clue as to why his conscious was there.

Baka I'm here because you know that you hurt Kagome's feelings once again

'yeah right what did I do'

You really are dense

'shut up I don't need this from you just go away'

Fine but I'll be back

'damn he was annoying. I didn't hurt kagome she fine'

Author's POV

By the time they had gotten back to the village the sun had just set. "ah ye have finally returned kagome I was starting to get worried for a moment" Kaede spoke. "yes well I'm fine, so shippo want to help me with the Ramen" "sure". as they got a fire going miroku took the time to talk to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha what did you do to make her so angry" "feh I don't know" "are you sure this has nothing to do with Kikyo(BOOO . )" miroku asked. "WHAT! NO! leave Kikyo out of this she's got nothing to do with this" Inuyasha yelled causing everyone to look at him. Inuyasha just brushed off their stares Feh'd and sat down. 'Kikyo's got everything to do with this' kagome thought. Her eyes once again glazed over with tears. 'no kagome don't let him see you cry, he not worth it' she told herself. Trying to convince herself that she didn't need him.

After eating in silence kagome was about to go to bed when she heard Inuyasha call her name. "kagome, please talk to me, what's wrong what did I do". They stood there in silence for a moment. Until she finally spoke. "Inuyasha do you remember when you told me that you loved me" "well, yeah I could never forget" he said as he put a hand on her shoulder. But she pushed it off. "you said that you loved, but now I'm starting to think that your just using me as a replacement when Kikyo isn't here" kagome said on the verge of tears. "what kagome no she's…not" he stuttered. "oh yeah then I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me when you said that you love her and not me earlier today huh!" she was practically yelling. Everyone heard their argument. Sango was so pissed that miroku was trying his best to keep her from hurting the hanyou. "ka-kagome.." "DON'T say anything Inuyasha, because I'm sure whatever's gonna come out of your mouth is just going to hurt me even more. So for once can you just not say anything a let me be miserable". Kagome got into her sleeping bag with shippo by her side trying to comfort her.

Inuyasha walked out of the hut. His ears flatten to his head and eyes downcast. "INUYASHA" sango said irritably. "listen sango I'm not in the mood" "damn right your not in the mood" sango said as she sat down.

Meanwhile kagome was trying to contemplate her options. 'stay here and get my heart broken again or take Sesshomaru up on his offer and take care of Rin'. the choices flopping back and forth through her mind. 'ok I've made up my mind, but I can't leave shippo. I guess I'll take him with me' she thought. Kagome then carefully turned over making sure not to wake the now sleeping shippo. 'I'll leave at dawn'.

Dawn (hehe that was quick)

Kag's POV

When I awoke I really couldn't remember why I was getting up this early. Then it hit me. I was leaving. So I gathered up my things as quietly as I could. I couldn't just leave shippo here and let Inuyasha pick and tease him so I decided to take him with me. Once all my things were packed I wrote my dear friends a note.

Dear Sango and Miroku,

I'm sorry but I've got to get away from Inuyasha for a awhile. He's causing me so much pain and

confusion. I'm writing this to let you know that I'm fine and that I've taken shippo with me. Since he thinks of me as his mother I can't just leave him there for Inuyasha to pick on. Sango you've been my sister

figure for quite some time. You've protected me and comforted me in the most crucial times. And miroku you've been quite a handful but I still love you…as a friend. I want you to look out for Sango for me. Protect her. I'll be back soon. Again please forgive me for leaving without giving you a proper goodbye, but it would be to painful for me. Hope to see you soon.

Love Kagome

Once satisfied with my note I left for Inuyasha's Forest. 'he said to meet him here' I thought. That's when I spotted the tree where I first meet Inuyasha. It brought back a lot of memories. Oh no I'm about to cry. 'no there's no need to cry anymore kags, just forget him'

End POV

Sesshy POV

I was traveling around when the smell of cinnamon and lotus blossoms crossed my nose. Hmm so the girls finally come to the edge of the forest. Must have gotten fed up with my brother. So off I went to the location of her scent when I smelt something else. I sniffed again to realize that it was a small fox. Hmm he either followed her or she brought him along. I'll question her when I get there. When I got there I saw her near the tree where my wretched brother was pinned to. Grr probably thinking about him, damn him she's mine. WAIT! Where did that come from. What is it about her that reminds me of… no it can't be. She left a long time ago.

End POV

Sesshomaru came out of the shadows and stood for only about 5 seconds when kagome noticed him. "oh I'm sorry Sesshomaru-sama, I was just waiting for you" kagome bowed. 'so she has learned respect' he thought. He wanted to grin but kept hi emotionless mask on. "who's the kitsune" he asked. Kagome looked down at shippo. "oh this is shippo, he's my kit, I adopted him when his parents were killed. I hope that it's ok that I bring him along Sesshomaru-sama". Sesshomaru looked at the young kit. "yes, it is alright he be a companion for Rin". Sesshomaru walked towards kagome. Taking her bag from her. "what's in here" he asked. "oh it's just something's from my home" kagome said trying to make it as simple as possible.

He sniffed the bag and gave it back to her. He then wrapped his right arm around her waist. By doing this he got a n 'EEP' from her. Once in the air he let go of her. They were flying on his cloud thingy.(what is that) kagome was amazed that she didn't fall right through the cloud. But she stopped admire ring when she felt shippo awake. Oh how was she suppose to explain this to him. 'Hey shippo, since I needed to get away from Inuyasha I've decided to go home with Sesshomaru, hopefully he doesn't kill us. ARGH! This is tough'. "momma where are we" shippo asked sleepily. That's when he noticed Sesshomaru. "AHH, momma there's Sessho-" but he was cut off by kagome's hand.

"its ok shippo, we're going with Sesshomaru-sama to live with him for awhile" kagome said sheepishly. "and just think there's a little girl named Rin there that you can play with" kagome said. "really?" "yep" 'phew that was close' she thought. Then shippo whispered something in her ear. "ok but if he hurts you he'll be sorry". Hey he maybe small but no one was gonna hurt his momma again. Kagome just smiled and gave him a kiss on his forehead. Since it was still early (come on it's a little past dawn) shippo tried to go back to sleep. But knowing that Sesshomaru was there wasn't helping. Kagome having that mother radar picked up on his skepticism. And on instinct she started to sing a soft lullaby. Half-way through the song he fell asleep but she kept on singing till the end. Sesshomaru stood there amazed at her pleasant voice. Maybe she would be a good addition to his castle.
