The chapters keep coming and coming, don't they? Well, that's okay, cause from what I read in my reviews, you enjoy it, and that boosts my confidence, so I keep writing. It's a weird cycle, huh? Nyeh, oh well, YAY for confidence boosting (aka reviews)!
Since I didn't reply to reviews for chapter 3, here are the reviews for chapter 3 and 4.
rabidfangirlsunite: Wal-Mart is my haven! It's all cheap! T.T :huggles little Wal-Mart smiley face thing: Ha ha, Shessomaru is hot, and it doesn't even matter how old he is! XD
emberluver: Suspense, suspense! BWA HA! Kagura is a minion of Naraku! Whatever she's there for, it can't be good!
iloveinuyasha44: You shall witness Shessomaru's action in this very chapter! Amazing... O.O

Alright, I really didn't like this chapter, and thank you emberluver for saying so. I'm rewriting this so it fits my standards. Thank you. I am done.

RECAP:
Inuyasha was the only choice.
He took a step forward, then another, and then he bolted into the air. He had to search for his half-brother and that pitiful band of followers, just for Rin... Just for Rin...
NOW:
"Ugh, he's such a jerk!" Kagome huffed as she plopped down on a moss-infested rock and crossed her arms angrily. "He's just so stubborn and greedy and self-centered and… Ugh! The nerve of him!" She mumbled on continuous rants lost in her own anger. But she had the right to be angry! He was being so arrogant and just stupid! Sitting him was the only solution sometimes. "The things I do for him! Ungrateful little…" Kagome trailed off as she suddenly noticed the strong demonic near her… very near. It surprised her how fast it had approached. She hadn't felt it anytime before that. She slowly reached down and grabbed a rock and silently cursed herself for not bringing her bow with her. Her hair whipped around her as a sudden gust of wind blew about her. She spun around and pulled her arm back to hit whatever was directly behind her. Her arm was caught in mid-throw by a clawed arm with and iron grip. Kagome gasped as she saw whose arm it was.
"INUYASHA!" She screamed, writhing to free herself from Shessomaru's grasp. "Inuyasha!"
Shessomaru did not lighten his grip as he roughly sat Kagome back down. She squirmed every which way to escape, screaming for Inuyasha, but Shessomaru held her arm and did not move otherwise, for holding her was effortless.
"WINDSCAR!" There was a rustle in the trees and a violent and explosive light tore through the ground between Kagome and Shessomaru. Kagome stumbled back over the rock and Shessomaru had stepped away shortly before. Inuyasha followed directly behind his attack and rushed immediately to Kagome's aid.
"Kagome! Are you alright?" He helped her to her feet as she nodded timidly. Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome, protecting her, brandishing the Tetsaiga. "What the hell are you doing here?" He demanded. Shessomaru did not move, but glared unwaveringly at the pair.
"I'm here to speak only to the human." She growled.
"I'm not letting you near Kagome!" Inuyasha shot back.
"This does not concern you!"
"If it's about Kagome, then it does!" Shessomaru prepared to retaliate but decided against it. Inuyasha was too stubborn and he wouldn't leave her.
"Fine." Shessomaru scowled at Inuyasha, then looked to the girl cowering behind him. "I am in a difficult situation and the demon healers are of no use. Rin has been injured fatally and I have nothing left to consider but that you can do something about Rin's health. It seems you have rather advanced knowledge of healing."
Silence…
"So you're saying you need help?" Inuyasha smirked.
"Rin needs help."
"But you're asking for help." Shessomaru opened his mouth to strike back but Kagome stepped in.
"Inuyasha," She stared at him sternly and he rolled his eyes. "So Rin's sick?" She asked, looking back at Shessomaru. He nodded briefly. "I can help then." She smiled. "If Rin needs our help and there are no other options, I'd be happy to help." Inuyasha stared at her unbelievingly.
"What? We're gonna help Shesso-"
"Rin. We're going to help Rin. Would you put your ego aside for a little bit? She must be really sick if Shessomaru's willing to ask for help." She looked up at Inuyasha, who still stared at her, waiting to be convinced. Then…
"Come on Kagome! Not the puppy eyes!" She leaned up against him and widened her eyes pleadingly.
"Pweese?" She sunk her head into her shoulders and begged him with her eyes. "Pretty, pretty, pretty please!" Inuyasha blushed and crossed his arms.
"Fine! But not for Shessomaru!" Kagome smiled triumphantly and turned back to Shessomaru, his eyebrow raised. She ignored this.
"Alright, we just have to wait for…"
SLAP"PERVERT!" A voice shrieked.
"…Sango and Miroku…" Kagome sighed. "I guess they're back." Kagome and Inuyasha headed for the camp with Shessomaru not far behind.
"I'm sorry, Sango! I couldn't help myself!" Miroku apologized as he nursed his red and swelling cheek. Sango rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"You never can, you lecherous monk." The three had walked into the scene and Sango turned and smiled at them.
"Hey, Kagome, Inuyasha!" Her eyes fell upon Shessomaru and looked questioningly at Kagome. She mouthed 'I'll tell you later' and Sango smiled and nodded.
"KAGOME!" A high-pitched voice squealed as a blur of fluff sped towards Kagome.
"Hey Shippo!" Kagome held the young kitsune and laughed. Shessomaru felt a sudden strike of warming emotion. He noticed it immediately and shook it off.
Kagome explained their current situation and the group prepared for the journey for Shessomaru's castle.
Kagome has shouldered her backpack (A/N: A huge-ass backpack, I might add) and had taken her place on Inuyasha's back. Sango and Miroku had mounted Kirara, as well as Shippo. Shessomaru felt an alarmingly new feeling, a pang of jealously, as he saw the light of the fading sun glimmer across the lake, illuminating the couples. Maybe if Rin could get through this… Maybe…
Inuyasha had bounded ahead and Kirara rushed behind, and Shessomaru sped to the front and led the way, thinking but one thing:
'I'm coming Rin. Hold on…'
'…For me.'
