Kagome smirked softly to herself. Inuyasha would seek her out soon. He may have already been doing so. She still had the Shikon No Tama. It was her job to purify it, and she had been so close to finishing.

But now she wasn't so sure she wanted to finish such a task. He had hurt her, she was going to give it to him..to make him a full demon. Now she had the feeling he would want to use it to make his dead heap of a lover flesh and bone.

"Pfft.."

Shippou looked up to Kagome. "Kagome-mama...why are you looking so mean?"

Kagome quickly wiped the smirk from her lips, and smiled at Shippou. Giving him the best smile she could muster, which given her current circumstance was nothing more then a mix between a frown and smirk, leaving her lips in a flat line, corners looking as if they wished to turn up. "I'm sorry Ship-chan, I'll try not to."

"Kagome-mama I'm hungry.."

"I know Ship-chan." She was hungry too. The thought of eating made her stomach growl and she hadn't realized how hungry she was. They had left Kaede's village just after lunch, and the sun was just now beginning to set. They must have been traveling a good four hours by now. "Kaede gave us some food, why don't we stop here and rest?"

"Really!?" His eyes widened and brightened.

Kagome couldn't help but smile at this as she nodded. "Of course, there's enough small twigs around here we can start a fire with them."

"Yayy!!" Shippou hopped down from her shoulder and dartred about grabbing some twigs.

Kagome smiled and stopped, dropping her bag, then squatted down infront of it, rumaging through it for the food.


"Damn wench!" Inuyasha growled shoving his fist through a tree.

Kikyou stared to him, her face barren of any emotion. "I do hope you are not speaking of me my dear Inuyasha."

He glanced to Kikyou and growled."Not you..the one that claim is you! The bitch took the Shikon No Tama!"

"We can easily get it back Inuyasha."

He sighed "And how do you propose we do that? Follow her? I have no clue which way she may have gone..for all we know she could have gone home."

"No..she is still here, and the well has sealed..She chose to stay here, so the Shikon sealed her in this time, and I am sure she knows that as well."

"So?" He growled again "That still does not tell us where she is."

"Ask my sister."

"I have no doubt Kagome went to her first, and I know that old bag will not tell me where Kagome has gone." He frowned. Part of him actually felt bad he had hurt her. But she deserved it..he loved Kikyou, and she knew he did. "Keh..."

Kikyou slipped over to Inuyasha wrapping her arms around him. "Come now Inuyasha I am sure you can catch her scent..."

At that moment all Inuyasha could smell was earth and bones and it made the bile build up in his throat. 'Damn...all I can smell at the moment is the stench..'

Kikyou moved closer pressing her lips to his.

After a moment Inuyasha pulled back and smiled. Yes..he did love Kikyou.. "Of course my love..but I have not been able to catch it as of late. Can you not tell when she is around?"

Kikyou sighed, of course she could tell when her reincarnation was around. She could also tell the gem wasn't completely pure yet. Why seek her out so early when the purification process wasn't even done yet..it would only lessen her chances of becomming full human..and then she would have her soul back."I have to be in a closer vacinity in order to do such."

Inuyasha sighed and pulled back. "I'll go search around, promise me you won't leave."

Kikyou smiled, a smile that hide the malice deep within her tainted soul. "But of course not."


After dinner Sippou had lain down in Kagomes' lap, asleep in no less then five minutes. Kagome sighed and stared into her canteen that held the herbs. 'So..if I am pregnant with his child I drink this..Kaede spoke of no side effects..so maybe..' She sighed. She wasn't so sure she wanted to be rid of his child, if she was indeed pregnant. It had always been her dream, a dream that was now a nightmare.

Kagome brought the canteen to her lips, and took a small sip. As soon as it touched her tounge she felt the bile rise to her throat and the urge to spit it out. She quickly swallowed it, then taking a quick breath she downed the rest of the mixture."Blegh.."

Her stomach suddenly seemed to clench in pain. Kagome groaned as her head swam and she broke into a cold sweat. Her thoughts began to swim and dots formed infront of her eyes. She vaguly remembered falling back. Her head hitting a rock, and the frantic cries of one fox kit.

"Kagome-mama!?" Shippou had been startled awake by the rocking of his bed. He looked up to see Kagome's face suddenly pale and wet. He watched her fall back her lids closing over her dull eyes.

"K-Kagome-mama!!!!"
Sesshoumaru growled. Who dare be in -his- lands, and who dare speak -that- name. His brothers wench..that is who it was. Although as of late his brother seemed to have two wenches, a dead and a live one. Well this Sesshoumaru was not going to allow -any- human or demon to come freely into his lands. Besides that little bitch owed him her life in place of Rins'.

"Sesshoumaru-sama.." Rin's voice was faint, her abdomen torn open. "Rin..didn't mean..to get in the way....Rin couldn't let the guy who yells hurt Sesshoumaru-sama..."

Sesshoumaru stared down to Rin anger burning behind his eyes, pain showing on the surface. Damn..he had to let himself grow close to a human.'Never...never will I ever let anything close to me again..not ever'

"INUYASHA YOU FOOL!"

Sesshoumaru glanced out of the corner of his eye to the racket. It was his brothers human wench. What was she yelling about..

"It's not my fault she got in the way!"

Kagome growled and clenched her fists "You killed a little girl!!!!"

Sesshoumaru let out a deep growl silencing the both of them.

Kagome turned, Sesshoumarus' gaze seeming to peirce into her own.

"I will get my vengence on you both.." He then picked Rin up into his arms, and floating on his cloud he slipped away.

Sesshoumaru sighed and closed his eyes. Something was wrong with the human..he could kill her now."No..I -will- kill her now." He growled and grabbed tokijin and tensaigai before slipping out of his castle. He sniffed the air, she was close, but his hanyou half-wit of a sibling was not.

He smirked. No matter he could always torture Inuyasha with the death of that wench.

As he got closer he could smell blood all around the area, and heavy amount of it. "Seems as if someone may have already gotten to her." He smirked "or..they simply weakened her."
Inuyasha caught her scent and darted toward it, reaching her and Shippou in no time. He fell back as the scent of blood flodded into his nostrils. Sure every once in a while he would smell this amount of blood coming off Kagome, but that was when she was in heat, and he knew this time she was -not- in heat.

Shippou looked up at Inuyasha and growled. "You..you stay away from her!!"

"Keh." He growled hiding any trace of worry he may have had. "Just give me the jewel brat."

"Never!" He growled wining. "You did this to her!! It's all your fault!!"

Inuyasha growled and picked Shippou up in his hand, not noticing as his brother appeared behind him.

"You always were the bully Inuyasha.."

"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha growled turning quickly, dropping Shippou as he pulled out Tetsusaiga.

"Feh.." Sesshoumaru smirked. "I don't want anything to do with you, I will get you for Rin, for now I want the wench."

"You can't have her!" Shippous' voice piped up.

Sesshoumaru growled, how dare that little furball tell him what he could and could not have. "You will be wise not to tell this Sesshoumaru what he can and can not have."

"Get out of here Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha..why not just give him Kagome in exchange for letting us keep the jewel?"

"I thought you said it wasn't completely pure yet." Inuyasha looked to Kikyou.

Sesshoumaru glanced to the female. 'Gah..she smells like the essance of death..'

"Well.. when she purifies it, then Sesshoumaru can give it to us.."

"This Sesshoumaru does not make bargains with humans." He was appaled that they would actually think he the Lord of the Westernlands would actually make a deal with -them-.!

Kikyou smirked and looked to him. "No..but if you let her purify the gem, once you hand it over to us you can do whatever you want with her. Plus..with her power she could regenerate your arm."

Sesshoumaru didn't believe this. "You think this Sesshoumaru would agree to that?"

"And why not...?"

"Hmm.." The thought of both arms was rather appealing, and no one said he couldn't kill them and keep this gem for himself."I agree.."

"WHAT NO!!" Shippou growled sitting like a guardian on Kagome's chest.

"Pup..it would be wise for you to just come along otherwise I will leave you here." Sesshoumaru said seeing as this small kit would not leave without the wench. He slipped over to her body, and grabbed her and her bag up in one sweep.

"You have 3 months." Kikyou said knowing it would take less then that for her to purify the gem.

Sesshoumaru raised a brow. Was this human telling him how long -he- could take?! "Very well..and in that time I better not catch you or any of your kind around me.." His cloud formed around him and he floated into the air and back to his castle.


Ta daaa!!! I hope you enjoyed. And please don't flame me for the death of Rin..it all goes into my plot. cyao . . 3
