To my dear reviewers--- thank you so much for being patient! Just for you and extra long chapter!

My choice

"Why are you here, Inuyasha?"

He snorted in disgust and said: "I could ask you the same question, Kagome!" Leaping above several tree branches he gently placed her upon the ground. "Seven weeks. Seven weeks you were gone! Did I hear from you? Noooo. I was worried sick! When I found your scent among Sesshomaru's castle, did you have any idea what was going through my mind?"

Inuyasha started pacing back and forth, mindlessly ranting. Kagome could hear "stupid", "killed," and "angry" being repeated.

It was quite cute actually, underneath his tough interior he really cared. "You know what? Let's go. We have shards to find." Kagome declared. Why had it ever crossed her mind that Sesshomaru had even loved her? She was a fool. A stupid, damned fool. It was best to forget that it ever happened.

Be hold the lovely Kirby dance ! (o.o( (o.o) )o.o) v(o.o)v (Ignore this, it's just meant to distract you from my horrible story)

Sesshomaru slowly marched onwards to his destiny. Where is that wretched girl? He thought. He wasn't going to come at first, just to show her up, but he relented in the end. Which got him here, irritated and cold. Arriving at the rendezvous point, he impatiently glanced around. 2 things came to his mind-

Kagome wasn't here.

It reeked of his half breed brother's scent.

He wasn't slow in the least, and two and two clicked together. Emitting a deep growl from his throat he lunged blindly on their trail. Sesshomaru was ready to fight for his prize.

"Mommy! I missed you so much!" screamed Shippo. "Inuyasha was so mean to me! I'm so glad you're back!"

Embracing Shippo warmly she smiled and reassured him she was in fact, back for good.

Inuyasha eyed Kagome and Sango catching up on news and a contented Shippo licking a lollipop and something inside of him wanted to smile. It was a warm sight- no demons attacking them for once…. And just peaceful, golden silence.

Too bad that didn't last long.

Inuyasha's ears perked up as it detected some movement. CRASH! Stomp. BOOM! well, whatever it was, it was doing very, very little to disguise its presence.

Sniffing a few times, Inuyasha caught a faint scent of something familiar…he cursed under his breath. "Not now, Sesshomaru."

(¯·..·×º°"˜"°º×¸¸,ø¤º° InuYasha°º¤ø,¸¸×º°"˜"°º×·..·´¯)

Sitting upon rather large demon, Sesshomaru looked in everyway as a King. A King sitting on his mighty throne, ready to declare war. Onwards the creature marched, carelessly stepping and destroying everything in it's way.

"Be any louder and you'll wake the dead, Onishumoru."

Giving an irritated growl it overly cautiously tiptoed towards Inuyasha's camp. "Be louder! Announce our presence and watch them quiver with fear!"

Onishumoru rolled his eyes. 'First he wants me to be quiet. THEN he wants me to be loud. What a fatty.'

"I can hear you, you know." Sesshomaru's cold voice creeped into his mind. 'As we all know, you can hear everything, can't you?' Onishumoru gave a tired sigh and trudged onwards.

He was stopped by a flash of red. "You'll go no farther, demon scum." He smoothly, fluidly removed Tetsusaiga from it's sheath, as Sesshomaru followed the exact same routine with thing with Tokujin.

"Ready, brother?" he asked in a condescending voice. "I've come for my mate."

Inuyasha gave a cry of surprise. 'Kagome can't be his! She belongs... she belongs... she belongs to ME!' With a blind lunge of fury, he jumped up to meet Sesshomaru, his heavy blade scratching and damaging Onishumoru's body in an upwards scathe.

Now, Onishumoru didn't like to be attacked and in pain. So what did he do? He bucked, sending both inuyoukai flying in the air, and stormed on home. He needed a nice, hot bath.

Sesshomaru or Inuyasha? Kagome Sesshomaru or Inuyasha?

Meanwhile Kagome knew what was happening. She was incredulous of their stupidity, and marched to end their brotherly rival. She gently pulled a sleeping Shippo off her lap, and sneaked by Sango and Miroku. She grabbed her bow, and just one arrow. One was all she needed.

Upon the scene it was all blood and gore. Inuyasha was breathing heavily, too lost in anger to notice Kagome. But Sesshomaru did. He gave little indication that he knew she was there. Kagome did not like being ignored. "Two can play that game!" she ran across formerly lush valley right in front of Inuyasha's view. When he saw her, his anger flared up even more. No one was going to take her away from him. No one. He prepared to send a final, strong blow to Sesshomaru when Kagome did something to shock both demons. Kagome gave Inuyasha a kiss, a huge smack right in front of Sesshomaru, a deadly accurate view.

It had the effects that she wanted, as Sesshomaru eyes finally dropped a barrier, and a deep blackness rose from within him. He growled, full-blown fury. His animal instinct took over. 'Enemy, Inuyasha. Must die. Mate with girl. Heir. Happy.'

His eyes glowed red, and he was on the brink of transforming into his full, majestic grace.

Then, Kagome pointed her only arrow at him. He saw the vengeance of betrayal and hurt in her beautiful eyes. He saw her release her hold on the arrow, ricocheting towards him. He saw his death.

DUM DUM DUM! What's going to happen now? YOU decide and give me your opinion!
