"so what's it like to be Lord of the western lands" Kagome asked slightly trailing behind Sesshomaru.
"its not as glorious as every one thinks it is."
"really?"
"no, really. You have to fight not just for yourself, but for every one who depends on you as their lord. My soldiers are precious to me. More like my brothers and sisters then my slaves, as everyone perceives."
"you won't even take your real brother in, how are you suppose to take others not of your blood?" Miroku asked.
Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder. To see Miroku holding Sango's hand.
"something's are just to hard to let go of. I never said I did not except Inuyasha, for I do not have to. I just prefer not to refer to him as my brother until need be." Sesshomaru chuckled slightly when Inuyasha growled.
"I don't even like claiming you... cold bastard." Inuyasha huffed.
"awe, I think Inuyasha's feelings are hurt." A well known voice rang.
Inuyasha growled. "not now Kagura."
"she was here first Inuyasha, leave her be." Tk said, walking over to her smiling she whispered to her. Both girls giggled
"but, but.. and this thing" Inuyasha stammered.
"just let it go." Cloud said, shaking his head. "women"
"and what's that suppose to mean?" Tk asked glaring at him.
"nothing" he smiled before walking up closer to Sesshomaru and Kagome.
"wanna come with us?" Tk asked Kagura.
"now that he's gone, life has been much better, but I still hate him" Kagura said, looking over at Inuyasha. "and besides I should be getting back to Kanna, its not healthy to leave her alone for long periods of time."
"poor kid" cloud shook his head. "you're rich enough, why don't you get a guardian?"
"she's to old for a babysitter" Kagura said to Tk and Sesshomaru's displeasure.
"guardians are not babysitters!" Jaken yelled.
"then how come you were always like a babysitter?" Rin asked Jaken.
"Jaken was there to help me raise you, Rin" Sesshomaru said. "not to baby-sit you but more to teach you a way of life I am not at liberty to show you."
"oh..."Rin replied.
"so exactly how old is Kanna?" Cloud asked, curiosity stretched over his hansom features.
"sixteen, but she could pass for ten if need be." Kagura answered.
"I've never seen Kanna before. Who is she?" Shippo chimed in.
"you've seen her before. She's the girl with the mirror."
"the pretty one?" Shippo asked, before getting hit over the head.
"why do you always like the dangerous ones?" Rin asked, eyeing Tk.
"because there much more interesting" Shippo said sticking his tongue out at her.
"I'll show you interesting" Rin tackled him pushing him down into the snow.
"Rin!" Jaken yelled. "that is most un-lady like."
"IM TEN YEARS, OLD HOW LADY LIKE AM I GOING TO GET!" Rin yelled at him releasing her hold on Shippo's head.
"are you sure you won't join us?" Tk asked.
Kagura looked lonely, not that she didn't always look that way. But more lonely then usual.
"positive" she sighed.
"I could use another Spy." Tk said to her in a whisper. "I heard your good at it"
Kagura smiled. "I'll think about it"
Tk ran to catch up with the group who decided they would continue walking.
"I can't believe you made friends with that trash!" Inuyasha yelled.
"she's not trash, she's just misunderstood" Rin said.
"I agree" Sesshomaru said. "although my conversations with her were always short, she only did as she was told hoping that one day she could obtain her freedom and the freedom of the young one, Kanna"
"forget the fact she tried to kill your mate countless times." Inuyasha hissed
"if I remember correctly, milord has attacked her also." Jaken said.
"I didn't attack her, I merely tried to take away her weapons so she would let things between brothers, stay between brothers." Sesshomaru defended himself.
Stealing her hand back Sango, warped herself around Kagome.
"what's wrong?" She asked.
"nothing really, just thinking." Kagome answered a smile slightly gracing her features.
"you think to much ningen" Sango said, trying her best to imitate Jaken. causing every one in the group besides Sesshomaru, and Jaken to laugh.
"Not bad" Cloud commended.
"Thanks" Sango said blushing.
"awe, poor Jaken" Rin said. hugging the toad like thing.
"get off of me you stinking child!" Jaken said running away form her.
"are you sure it always stays warm up here" Kagome asked. Looking around at the snow covered mountains.
"positive" Sesshomaru said.
"I wonder if Kouga would like it up here" Kagome said, thinking aloud.
"who cares, mangy flea bitten wolf." Inuyasha snapped.
"every thing you've said so far has been negative. If you can't say anything positive to balance out the two than don't say anything at all." Kagome said looking at Inuyasha sternly from over her shoulder.
"I feel like a puppy" Inuyasha mumbled.
"you act like one" Miroku said.
"can I rub yours ears?" Rin asked.
"no rub Shippo's" Inuyasha said.
"but his don't have fur." She replied.
"ugh, I can't sta...!" Inuyasha began to yell until Kagome turned to look at him.
"go on and sit him Kagome" Shippo cheered.
"we're here" Sesshomaru said stopping in front of a cave.
Three snowman greeted them, one of a dog demon, one of Tk, and one of something you couldn't quite make out. But they assumed it was Inuyasha's.
"can we make some to joint he club?" Sango asked shyly.
"Of corse you can Sango" coursed Inuyasha and Tk.
"would you like to make one Shippo?" Kagome asked.
"yeah!" Shippo said before picking up some snow.

Okay every one, I thought it time to finally write a chapter. So I want 5 reviews before you can have another chapter. But be warned. If I can't have five reviews on this story alone. I'll take them for Brotherly Oath. And then you can have two chapters, cause I'll be really happy. So review and you'll get more.
