A/N—Hello there! Hope you all enjoy Chapter 4, and I hope you review. I just put out Chapter 3, and I'm just feeling so giving that I decided to write Chapter 4! Yay! – Endless

"Well, we may want to start off by finding your companions. However, I must somehow find a way to get my things without my friends noticing. Do you think that you could please distract them?"
He nodded curtly, already thinking of ways to distract her so-called "friends."
-------
"Hey Inuyasha? Do you know where Kagome is?" Sango asked, wishing she knew where her friend was.
"Why do I care?" he replied childishly, returning to whispering about with Kikyou.
Sango looked down, and felt deep pain, for her friend. Kagome did not deserve to be treated like this, especially by Inuyasha.
"Sango? Do you feel that?" Miroku asked sharply.
Youkai.
"Yes! Where is it coming from?" she asked, grabbing her Hiraikotsu.
Miroku closed his eyes, and opened them again.
"From the North..."
"Shippou! Take Kirara and go hide in that tree!"
Shippou nodded, took Kirara, and ran towards the tree.
Sango faced the North, and she too, felt the youkai coming towards them, and quickly.
Inuyasha suddenly lifted his head, and growled.
"Sesshoumaru."
-------
Kagome ran through the woods, in the direction that Sesshoumaru told her that her camp was.
She didn't bother asking him just exactly how he planned on distracting her friends, but she trusted him enough not to hurt her friends if he wanted help.
At least he better not...
-------
Inuyasha was in full battle stance, with Tessaiga at his side.
Kikyou was standing by the fire, apparently unaware of the danger they were.
Either that or she doesn't care, Sango thought.
Concentrating again on the youkai charging towards them, she realized that it had almost come into view.
Suddenly, Sesshoumaru appeared, frowning, as usual.
Inuyasha immediately attacked Sesshoumaru, but Sesshoumaru just jumped to the side.
He then looked at Inuyasha, with a pure look of malice on his face.
"You think I came to fight?"
"Well that's always the case, isn't it? I've come to believe that it's the only reason you come near us," Inuyasha growled, still obviously surprised that apparently his brother did not want to fight.
"So...That's the Tessaiga...Isn't it?" Sesshoumaru contemplated aloud, liking the sword even more.
-------
Kagome neared the camp, and saw that Sesshoumaru was already there, distracting her friends.
The one person he wasn't distracting, however, was Kikyou.
"Ah, look who it is. My reincarnation," Kikyou whispered with obvious distaste.
Kagome narrowed her eyes, but refused to talk to Kikyou. The last thing she needed was Kikyou talking loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Oh," Kikyou whispered again, noticing Kagome gathering her things. "So you've finally decided to leave, have you, wench?"
Kagome narrowed her eyes even further, but did not respond.
"This brings infinite good to me, wench. Now Inuyasha will have no doubt that you hate him, and will completely focus on me..."
Kagome scoffed as she grabbed the last of her things, and crammed them into her backpack.
As began to walk away, she turned around.
"All the better for you, then, isn't it?"
-------
Sesshoumaru continued to stand where he was, carefully making a point not to look at the miko at the fire. If he did, they might notice.
And so he stood there, glaring menacingly at them, waiting somewhat impatiently for the miko to finish.
When he saw that she was going back to the river, he smirked at them, and turned to leave them.
"Wait! Where are you going! You're not leaving without a fight, bastard!"
Sesshoumaru turned to look at this Inuyasha.
"Oh really? Watch me," he said, turning back to walk gracefully towards the river that he was to meet the miko.
