Betrayal

Chapter 3

by XxMeatBallxX

InuYasha was sleeping in a tree above the camp with Kikyo in his arms. She shifted in his arms. "InuYasha," Kikyo began "I sense a strong demon coming."

"Yes, I can smell him. It's Sesshomaru. What a surprise. Let's wake the others." InuYasha jumped from the tree and placed Kikyo carefully on the ground. He looked off to the west. 'It's Sesshomaru all right,' he thought 'but there's another sent, it also smells like him, but altered.' Kikyo interrupted his thinking "InuYasha, is something wrong?"

He turned and faced her "No, it's nothing."

"InuYasha" Sesshomaru answered.

"H..how far is he from here?" She stuttered.

"Not far. He probably already knows we're coming." Her grip on his kimono tightened. He felt it. "Kagome, it's going to be alright." He placed a soft kiss on her brow. " I will not let him or his dead bitch take you away from me."

They landed not far from where InuYasha had made camp. Kagome looked up at her mate and he looked down at here reassuringly. Before the couple could say a word, InuYasha burst through the small clearing with the others following him.

"Sesshomaru!" InuYasha yelled as he unsheathed Tetsusaiga. "What do you-" He stopped when he noticed who was standing next to his half-brother.

Kagome kept her eyes to the ground. She didn't want to face him. Sesshomaru noticed her and took it as a clue that she didn't want to speak. "You dare raise your sword to the Lord and Lady of the Western Lands?"

"Oh don't give me that-" InuYasha stopped. "Wait! What do you mean by Lady? Kagome can't possibly be your mate!"

Sesshomaru nodded. InuYasha was furious. "It's not true! Kagome would never do such a thing! Right Kagome?" He looked at Kagome and she continued to stare at the ground. "Kagome! Bastard! What did you do to her!"

Sesshomaru smirked. " My baka half-brother, I did nothing. Kagome came to me."

"Shut up! Why would Kagome come to you?"

"Because.." Kagome began "Because I saw you and Kikyo! Together in the forest that night! I thought you loved me! I thought you cared, but I was wrong. You would rather loved and protect Kikyo! And I really don't see the point in protecting her. She is already dead!"

InuYasha's ears flattened against his head. What she was saying was true. He had know idea that she was there when Kikyo and himself were...together. That meant that she heard everything they had spoken. "Kagome...I-"

"No!" She screamed "Nothing you can say can forgive you for what you have done!"

"But Kagome, why...why would you go to him?"

"Because," she said looking up at Sesshomaru "He loves me and I love him." Sesshomaru lent down and gave her a soft kiss. Everyone was shocked. What Kagome had said was true.

"Kagome," This time Sango spoke "If this is your choice then I accept it." Kagome ran over to Sango and gave her a hug.

"As do I, Lady Kagome." Miroku said and also tried to give her a hug, but a growl from Sesshomaru stopped him.

InuYasha still stood there. He couldn't believe what was happening. 'Why Kagome? Why him?' Kikyo walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "InuYasha let us leave."

"Fine" Was all he said as he and Kikyo left the group.

"Kagome," Sesshomaru said as they readied for bed in Kaede's hut "I did not expect to stay this long. I do not want to leave Rin with Jaken much longer."

"But Sesshomaru," she pleaded "We still have to visit my family on the other side of the well. And I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get you through."

"Why don't we leave now?"

"No, it's late and Souta probably has school tomorrow, so he'll be in bed early. Mom and Gramps will probably be in bed soon too."

"Fine" he said leaning up against the wall " We shall leave early tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Kagome said as she curled up next to him. He kissed her as they both drifted off to sleep.
