A couple months ago in the feudal era----
Inuyasha was ready to explode. The group had not encountered any demon all day and he was ready to rip his hair out. Board out of his skull didn't even begin to cover it and the humans chattering on behind him about absolutely nothing didn't help the fact that he needed to punch something right now.
He was both angered and relieved when he caught a whiff of his half brother, Sesshoumaru. Of course Inuyasha was more than slightly annoyed because this sibling of his tried to kill him every once in a while, but right now, he say Sesshoumaru as less of a threat and more of a punching bag.
He came to an immediate halt, claws itching and a visible smirk on his face. A gust of wind blew his long, white hair to one side as he crouched a little, as if getting ready to pounce on something.
"What is it, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked from behind him. The rest of the group had nearly bumped into him when he stopped so suddenly. It took all Kagome had not to fall on top of him.
Inuyasha didn't have time to respond, when a blue lightning bolt landed at their feet, scattering the group along the path. And just as quickly as the presence of Sesshoumaru was felt, it was gone, disappearing in the direction of the western lands.
Miroku sat up with a grown, rubbing the upper part of his arm the he landed on in the fall. "What in kami's name was that?"
"It was Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha growled, once again fighting the urge to punch something.
Sango stood up, trying to relieve the pain in her but, "What did he want?"
"How the hell should I know!"
"Well he's your brother." Sango retorted.
Shippo crawled out from underneath a nearby bush when the argument began; he sat up, sniffed a bit, and looked around, noticing something was off. "Uh, guys."
"That doesn't mean I know anything about him!"
"Guys?"
"Well you should, he is your brother!"
"GUYS!"
"WHAT!" Both Sango and Inuyasha screamed, turning to Shippo, who backed away a bit under their angry glares.
"Where is Kagome-sama?" Miroku just now noticed her disappearance and brought it to the attention of the bickering couple.
"That's what I was going to tell you, she's gone."
Inuyasha immediately sniffed the surrounding trying to find her scent. He fallowed it into the forest to where she must have landed after the blast, but after that, her scent disappeared. Kagome was nowhere to be found.
He could not stand it. Inuyasha had Tetsusaiga, he got this, he got that, Inuyasha was the favorite. Inuyasha always get what he wants.
Sesshoumaru had been fallowing the group from a while, not exactly to steal anything from them, but just to observe them. He had found out a lot by just watching them. The Kagome girl was not of this time period and her home could be found on the other side of the Bone-Eaters Well, the houshi did not fallow the path of the monk nor respected a woman's personal space, the taijia, for an unknown reason, is romantically attracted to monk, as is the girl to Inuyasha, though he seems to be attached to the dead miko. The fox kit appears to have no other family so see the girl as his mother and the fire neko seems to be the taijia's companion.
In observing them, Sesshoumaru learned both their strengths and weaknesses, and Inuyasha had two major weaknesses, he was egotistical and he took for granted everything he had. Tetsusaiga, which he swings around senselessly without the proper training, which he could have easily gotten, the power of the jewel fragments that hang around the Kagome girl's neck, which could make him stronger, if only temporarily, and the girl her self. He does not see that the girl fallows him around like a lost puppy, swoons over him and such, and even puts up with him as he goes to see the dead miko thinking that the resurrected priestess will love him again. The whelp does not deserve a person such as that girl.
The plan formed in Sesshoumaru's head that he would teach his half-brother a lesson. He would kidnap the girl to teach Inuyasha to respect what he has. The girl could keep watch over Rin in place of Jaken, Sesshoumaru almost felt sorry of the toad demon just thinking of what the human girl put him through, almost.
The plan was put into action. Sesshoumaru hovered above the group, unmasking his scent, knowing Inuyasha would stop as soon as he caught wind of it. He aimed Tokijin to strike the middle of the group, sending a blast that would send everyone in a different direction, but would not actually hurt anyone.
He saw the girl fall to one side of the trail and he was on the ground in an instant. She uttered a small sound of surprise when one of his hands closed around her mouth to keep her silent. He used his other hand to hold her against him as he took to the sky once again, heading for the western lands.
A/N: I would like to thank the people who reviewed, I really didn't think the preface was that good and I would especially like to thank 'wouldent you like to know' for sending me such an inspiring review. I couldn't have written the first chapter nor made a nice campfire to keep me warm without you.
