Disclaimer: We do not own Inuyasha

A look of absolute horror was placed on Inuyasha's face. He quickly pulled his hands out of Miroku's grasp. Suddenly a horrible scream emanated throughout the forest and neighboring lands.

Disturbed from his thoughts, the Lord stood and went to walk to the window. He looked in the direction it had come from. It gave him an unsettling feeling.

"What has that insolent brother of mine done now? If this has anything to do with that vixen and her sister…"

Kagome wondered back to camp chuckling and muttering to herself.

"I can't believe that wolf kissed Inuyasha…"

Still laughing she looked up and saw a faint and familiar yellow glow. She quickly ran with all of her speed back to camp. Breaking through the brush she came upon a most horrible sight. The evil collector Jaken was hypnotizing Rin again. Rin's eyes were glazed over. Jaken waved his staff back and forth. Rin's eyes followed and glazed over even more. Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing. Sango was pressed up against Rin's chest. Her grip was loosening on the basket. With a loud scream she jumped for Sango before Rin handed her to him. She failed. She had been knocked back to the ground by a barrier the demon had erected around them. Rin handed Sango to him. He cackled with glee. He then grasped Rin's hand to take her with him as well. Kagome wasn't going to loose this foul being again. She leaped for them again. She found a weakness in the barrier and used all her might and power to break through. Jaken was thrown backwards. His staff fell to the ground knocking the enchantment out of Rin's eyes. She shook her head. Kagome looked around her. She saw that she had freed Rin from the beast but not Sango. Jaken stood up as fast as he could; still gripping the basket. With an evil chortle he grabbed his staff and vanished into the air.

"Rin! This is all your fault!" Sango yelled before disappearing into the clouds.

"Nnooooooooo!" Kagome yelled as loud as she could. The hurt she felt for loosing her best friend could be heard in her cry. With tear soaked eyes she turned to her sister.

"What have you done now Rin? Can't you stay away from demons for one lousy moment! You are such an airhead! I never should have brought you here!"

Rin just stared up at her sister. The hurt was evident on Kagome's face. Rin looked away and muttered the only thing she could think of saying. Her sister's words struck at her core.

"I'm sorry…"

"Sorry! Is that all you can say! Sorry! Of all the things in this era, you had to be taken with demons! You couldn't be satisfied with a monk, prince, a HUMAN for god 's sake!" The words just flowed from her. She was unrelenting in her insults and pain.

Rin silently took in all Kagome's words. She quietly sobbed, as she looked at the ground unable to face her sister's wrath.

"You are such a demon's…"

Shouting and rushing feet quickly cut off Kagome's next rant.

"You try that again Miroku and I swear I will kill you!" Inuyasha threatened racing off into the clearing.

"I was only joking Inuyasha." Miroku said following Inuyasha as fast as he can.

Both were still bickering as they raced to the clearing. When they noticed the girls, looks of concern passed between them as they saw them crying. Inuyasha's eyes narrowed, as he smelled his brother's scent as he approached.

Sesshoumaru stood on the outside of the clearing watching the scene unfold before him. He knew his brother was near with an unfamiliar scent with him. He closed his eyes as smelt the air. He smelled salt. His eyes became slits as he noticed where the smell was coming from. He strode into the campsite and stood right behind Kagome. As he did so, Inuyasha and Miroku followed his lead.

In a quiet and submissive Rin began to speak to her enraged sister.

"I'm sorry. I'll just go home Gome-chan."

"No. You aren't going anywhere. With your luck you'll just go gallivanting with another demon. You are going to help me get Sango back. We are going to Grandma's right now."

Kagome started to storm out of the clearing. She begins to pass Sesshoumaru, but before she can fully get by he grabbed the back of the haori. He picked her off the ground and brought her before him eye to eye.

He acts similar to Inuyasha.

With a low growl of anger and frustration she spat.

"What are you brothers? Put me down!"

" He is my HALF brother. None of you are going anywhere. Not while other demons are out there. You and your crew will be joining me in my castle. And I suggest that you tone down that attitude of yours."

Kagome just stared into the Lord's cold unmoving eyes. There was no arguing with him. He turned his head towards Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha. Grab Rin. We will be going now."

Inuyasha didn't wait for further insistence. He walked over and picked up Rin. She gave no protest. He cradled her to his chest. He turned to Miroku.

"Hop on monk. My arrogant brother doesn't like to be kept waiting."

"Oh, Inuyasha I knew you would see it my way." Miroku purred as he got on Inuyasha's back.

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. A slight smirk played on his lips.

"My dear Inuyasha, I didn't know you favored the same sex."

Not waiting for a reply he nestled Kagome into a more comfortable position on his back. He went off into the air leaving Miroku and Inuyasha to fight on their own behind him. Rin just let the world pass by as her depression set in.

What have I done…

When Inuyasha stepped into the castle he set Rin down on her own feet. After she was settled he grabbed a smiling Miroku by the back of his neck and threw him over his head and onto the floor.

"Now I am going to kill you filthy lech!" Inuyasha ran towards Miroku and chased him around a nearby table.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha!"

Rin paid it no mind. Kagome was waiting for them beside Sesshoumaru.

"If you will follow me I will lead you all to your rooms." The Lord turned and glided down a long hallway.

Kagome and Rin stepped behind the Lord not saying another word. Inuyasha and Miroku quickly followed the girl's actions. Sesshoumaru lead them to a set of double doors. He opened one and motioned to Kagome.

"This is your room." He moved across the hall to another room with double doors. He pointed to Rin room.

"This is yours." Without another word Rin walked to the open door and slid it shut. Sesshoumaru frowned at the girl's actions.

That's odd...

He proceeded to walk further down the hall to a single door. He opened it and turned to Inuyasha and Miroku.

"This is a special room for you two love birds." as he turned to leave to go patrol his grounds.

"Damn you Sesshoumaru…"Inuyasha growled.

He walked to the door and looked inside. In the room there was nothing but a chest and one bed. Inuyasha's eye twitched. Miroku had a grin on his face. He walked into the room and smiled at Inuyasha.

"It's alright Inuyasha I can go sleep in Kagome's room if you wish."

"What! No way monk!"

Inuyasha walked over to Kagome's door and sat in front of it. With a satisfied sigh Miroku shut the door and settled down for the rest of the night.

"Mommy, I'm thirsty."

"Keh. Just when it was getting good."

"Sit Boy."

Inuyasha went face first into the bed once more.

"What was that for!"

"You were thinking dirty!"

"…"

Mommy. Can I get drink of water?"

"Okay honey go and get one and come right back. Then I'll finish the story."

"Okay Mommy."

Sasha got up and went to leave the room. She thought she heard a slight scuffle on the floor outside the door. She just opened it and saw no one there. She scurried down the long hall and down the stairs to the kitchen.

Rin breathed a sigh of relief behind a curtain over a nearby window. She leaned against the window and remembered the night Kagome was telling her niece. As she began to daydream, giggling could be heard from her sister's bedroom door..
