Kagome stood in between the barrier in confusion.
"What's wrong with me? I want to go to Inuyasha, I want to see them all again. But why am I hesitating?" Kagome thought, "But it seems that a part of me wants to stay. But something Sesshomaru told me…
'If Inuyasha really cares for you as much as you say, then he will or would have already gave up his sword.'"
Kagome shuck her head. "No Inuyasha will help me." She then confidently walked through the barrier and into the forest.
Back at the castle Sesshomaru lowered his head in defeat. He was…hurt? That confused him, it had been the same feeling that he felt when Kagome would yell at him.
"So it is decided." He said jumping down off of the roof and went inside.
Inuyasha turned his head to the west. "Kagome." He said running to her scent.
The others watched him in confusion.
"He must have smelt Kagome!" Shippo cheered.
Sango grabbed her Hirikotsu and signaled Kirara to transform, "Well let's go!" Everyone nodded and climbed on Kirara.
"I've finally found you Sesshomaru. And if you have done anything to Kagome, I'll kill you!" Inuyasha yelled following Kagome's scent.
Sesshomaru paced up and down the hallways of his castle.
"Why did I let her go? Maybe Jaken had been right. That I, Sesshomaru, had been softened by a mere human." The thought of that sent a chill down his back, "Of course not! I will get Tetsusaiga that is the only thing that matters. However if I am going to get it I will get it myself by killing my idiot half-demon brother."
Sesshomaru began to walk back to his quarters when Rin appeared in front of him, "Lord Sesshomaru where did Kagome go?" She asked.
"She left." Sesshomaru said coldly walking past Rin.
"Why?"
"She…didn't want to stay."
"Does she not like Rin?" She asked as tears began to roll down her cheek. Sesshomaru smelt her tears and stopped walking.
"Do not cry Rin. She didn't like me. That is why she left." Sesshomaru said almost sounding gentle, "You enjoyed her company didn't you?"
Rin nodded.
"Very well. I will bring her back."
Rin smiled, "Really, Rin will be very happy to see Kagome again."
Sesshomaru ran to fetch Kagome, "Yes I will be too."
Kagome walked through the forest smiling.
"I can't believe it. I'm finagling going to see Inuyasha and the others." She said picturing everyone happy to see that she was unharmed and the little fox demon in her arms. It had felt like months since she had seen them, but it had only been a little more than a week.
"I just wish that Rin was here with me. Why didn't I grab her too? Everyone would have welcomed her. Although I think they would be a little surprised that Sesshomaru had been hiding a human all this time. Sesshomaru…" Tears began to fall down her cheek it shocked her, "What? Why am I crying?" She wiped her tears off on her sleeve.
"Dang it Kagome! He is your enemy, he tried to kill you!" Kagome mind encouraged. Kagome knew this, however she also knew that Sesshomaru had a good side that could not be seen by just looking at him, but by spending time with him.
"But Kagome he tried to kill Inuyasha the one you love."
"Shut up, I know that that's the reason I'm leaving, I don't know what's going to happen when he gets the sword. He could kill me." Kagome stopped arguing with herself and resumed trying to find her friends.
Suddenly, a dark figure came out into Kagome's view, a white baboon pelt. Kagome gasped as vines came out under it and wrapped around her tightly.
"Na..ra..ku." Kagome stuttered trying to get out of it's grasped.
"A priestess like yourself should never walk alone in a dark forest at night." A cold voice said.
"Naraku…I'll kill you, you bast-" Kagome stopped when the vines tightened on her.
"You will speak when I tell you."
"The… hell I...will."
"Oh well that's a shame. I didn't really plan to kill you now, but what the hell I think I will." Naraku once again tightened his grip on Kagome. She yelled out in pain, as her vision got blurry. Then before she fainted she saw a beam of light coming at her, she fell to the ground and saw gray hair.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome had fallen unconscious.
