Last Chapter Recap
'Hmm, this is quite interesting… Kagome might actually have a fondness for the taiyoukai deeper than I imagined. And the demon lord looks as though he might like Kagome more than a friend as well…' Miroku smirked at the thought of trying to give a little nudge to get them to realize it, 'I could give it a shot…'
"I thought she still had a thing for Inuyasha..." Sango whispered to the monk next to her.
"Ah, it looks as though she has changed." Miroku whispered right back.
Shippou sighed hearing the monk and demon slayer whispering, 'Some things never change and some do…'
"Hey! What are you two whisperin' about over there!" cried Inuyasha from his tree in front of Kaede's hut.
"Nothing that concerns you, Inuyasha." Replied Miroku.
"Well…" said Kagome trying to change the topic, "we should probably get prepared for Naraku's attack. Kikyou said it would be really soon."
"Do you think we should trust her?" asked Sango.
"I have a feeling that she means it… Well we'll see won't we?" replied Kagome wondering the same thing.
Fallen: Here is part 1 of 3! Enjoy!

Chapter 3: Fading to Black - Part 1 of 3
It was dark now. The moon and stars were the only things that lightened the sky, but that was enough for one girl. She was laying on her back looking up at the millions of stars as she sighed to herself.
'The stars are definitely not like this back home. There are too many city lights to see so many stars at one time.'
The girl, Kagome, thought this as she sighed again, "What is going to happen once Naraku is destroyed? I don't want to leave all of my friends behind…"
Her friends Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kaede, Kirara, Inuyasha and even Sesshoumaru, she didn't want to leave any of them. Those said people were all back at Kaede's hut, most likely sleeping or at least resting somewhat. They all wanted to be prepared for Naraku's attack which, as Kikyou said, would be soon.
'Inuyasha… have I really given up on him and moved on? Maybe it was nothing more than a simple little crush…'
"Yeah, besides Inuyasha has Kikyou…"
"Are you thinking about my pathetic half brother?" asked a cold and definitely male voice from somewhere behind her. He knew that's whom she was talking about, he could hear her loud and clear, but he wanted to talk to her.
(Inspired by emily. It's not really a flashback, but I thought that it would be okay even though it isn't one!)
Kagome gasped and shot up to a sitting position. She then turned to see none other than Sesshoumaru standing there. His gaze felt like it was burning holes through her head.
She then sighed and put a hand over her heart, "Geeze, you really know how to sneak up on people! Don't do that ever again!"
'Who does this wench think she is?' wondered Sesshoumaru, 'no not wench, but Kagome…'
"You did not answer my question, wench." The wench part happened to slip out of Sesshoumaru's mouth before he could catch the word. He held respect for her because of her courage and she stood up to him without dying, but he was holding contempt for the feelings that she was stirring up inside of him.
Kagome's eyes went wide when she heard "wench", 'Grrrr! Who does he think he is?'
She took a deep breath and stood up, "My. Name. Is. Kagome. Ka-Go-Me! Not wench, woman, ningen, bitch or whatever else you demons can come up with!" She then folded her arms over her chest angered by that one word.
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.
'Yep, still the same cold jerk he always was… Wait, why would he change?'
'She is lucky I am not going to kill her and that I like her.' Then his eyes widened slightly at the last part of his thought, 'did I just say that I like her? Impossible, I hate humans and she is not an exception.'
He closed his eyes for a brief moment. 'Oh Kami, he's going to kill me! Nice going, Kagome, make him, the kill first, think later kind of guy, mad. Just great! Mine as well just say "Hey kill me!" '
Sesshoumaru then reopened his eyes, "Kagome, will you answer my question or do I have to wait until dawn approaches?"
Kagome eyes widened considerably, 'Did he just ask…?' She was completely shocked and could barely think straight.
Sesshoumaru waited patiently for his answer, even though he knew the answer already.
"Well… yes, I was thinking about your brother." She finally managed to answer.
"You must be jealous of her."
He was actually trying to have a conversation with her. For that she was shocked since he didn't seem like that kind of a person.
Though Sesshoumaru could feel that the Taijiya and houshi were close, he didn't mind them, they weren't Inuyasha.
"Well, maybe a little, but not anymore. I think I'm starting to get attached to someone else. Someone who's better than Inuyasha." She replied not able to think too clearly.
'Oh great! Why did you say that? He can't find out whom that someone is since that someone is he! Oh Kami!' She thought getting a little frantic.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly again and Kagome caught it. 'Oh no!'
'I cannot believe she is over that hanyou so quickly…'
"Someone else," he said smoothly, "who is this someone else?"
His curiosity was getting to him and he just had to ask.
'Oh Kami! What am I going to do?' Kagome felt her face redden, 'Oh no! Now I'm blushing! He can probably see right through me. Think Kagome think! You and your big mouth!' She was trying to think of something and fast also wishing she could stick her foot in her mouth.
"Uh, w-well, it's actually a secret and no one knows. S-so I don't plan on sharing with anyone." Kagome said while stuttering through the entire sentence. She looked down at her feet as she ended her sentence. She couldn't look at him, not now.
"I could keep a secret." Sesshoumaru said while putting a finger under her chin and lifting her face up so he could look her in the eyes trying to get the answer out of her, "Do you not find me trustworthy?"
'Why does he want to know so badly? I can't tell him!' Kagome said to herself.
"Well, I'd feel embarrassed," she replied. 'Hey it is the truth.'
"I am guessing it is someone I know then." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Y-yeah. Why don't we just drop the subject." Asked Kagome.
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything, but looked at her lips, 'Hmm… pink. They look soft.'
His mind seemed a little fuzzy as he breathed in her scent. He loved her scent of sakuras and rain. It was different than most humans and she was a lot cleaner than most as well.
They were close, very close.
'When did we get so close to each other?' wondered Kagome, 'And he hasn't said anything…'
"Sesshou…?" was all she got out before someone raced into the clearing.
"What the hell is going on?" cried a gruff voice that belonged to none other but Inuyasha. He looked from Sesshoumaru then to Kagome with wide angry eyes.
Kagome looked over at the once again irate and overly jealous hanyou, "Inu … Yasha…" was all she could possibly say since she was still in a daze.
"What the hell are you two doin' so close to each other?" asked Inuyasha as he made his way closer to the two.
"Eh, well…" Kagome started to explain, but didn't know where to even begin.
She flushed with embarrassment and her eyes were wide.
"What we were doing is none of your concern." Said Sesshoumaru dropping his hand back to his side and glaring coldly at Inuyasha.
"Like hell it isn't!" yelled Inuyasha, "You, you filthy bastard! You stay away from Kagome, yah hear me? Or I'll make sure that your Tenseiga won't protect you from my Wind Scar next time!"
"Inuyasha!" cried Kagome, her fists balled at her sides. Her knuckles were turning an unhealthy shade of white, as her hair seemed to float around her unnaturally.
Inuyasha knew that tone all too well and that look, "Eh, heh." He braced himself for impact with the ground.
"Sit, boy!" The whole forest heard the loud thud that came after those words. And if you listened closely you would hear a string of curses muffled by grass and dirt.
Sesshoumaru knew Inuyasha could hear him so he said, "It baffles me that you are so jealous even though you love that dead woman more than a real one."

--A Dense Part of the Forest--
She saw the whole incident between Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Inuyasha.
Her cold brown eyes became brighter as she laughed at the two, "That foolish girl has fallen for the taiyoukai and she will be the one who will cause the fall of the great demon lord. In the end he will die! And it will be all her fault."
She laughed some more and with an evil smirk on her face she left to find Naraku.
She wasn't the only one to see the whole thing, Miroku and Sango were in the bushes watching and listening to every word. And then Inuyasha came and interrupted a moment, great, just what they needed!
Inuyasha once again ruined the exact moment that might have meant a total change in Kagome and Sesshoumaru's friendship.
Their eyes were wide and danced with excitement. Miroku looked to Sango, "Now I really think that they just need a bit more of a nudge and some time away from Inuyasha."
Sango nodded, "Yes, Inuyasha seems to be constantly keeping them apart."
"That certainly won't do." Replied the monk, "Tomorrow we must put our plans into action!"
Sango agreed and they made their way back to Kaede's quietly.
-
"Inuyasha!" Kagome crossed her arms over her chest, "Don't keep bothering us! Geeze! You're so hopeless! Let's go back to Kaede's, Sesshoumaru!"
Kagome then stepped on Inuyasha's back while he was still overpowered by being sat. As she did so she heard another grumble and a curse.
Sesshoumaru followed silently behind also stepping on Inuyasha.
He heard a cry of pain then a muffled, "Get your freakin' ass off my back, yah bastard!"
Sesshoumaru smirked as he caught up with the miko.
To be continued . . .
