Yes, Kikyou is still alive but she will rest in peace later in the story. And there is Kikyou bashing in this story but mostly just in this chapter. And Inuyasha doesn't remember the past but he know who is everyone is and what they are, it's kinda confusing. Also Inuyasha still uses the tetsigia, because Sesshomaru can still use his sword, the tensigia. Please if you know how to spell the names of both the swords, tell me. Well here's the chapter 3 .

Conflicts and Unwelcome Visitors

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru went to the backyard. It was huge garden with a trail through it. In the middle a huge oak tree split the trail. On the sides there were many different wildflowers. At the end of the huge trail there was a small hut that was well built. It looked like it was made for only two people. There was a long awkward silence between the two brothers when Sesshomaru spoke up.

"So little brother what part of it do you want," he asked.

"I'll take the all forest including the lands north of it and northern half of the Southern land. While you get the Western Lands and the other half of the Southern Lands," Inuyasha said.

"Sounds fine but why do you need that much land. It's not like you have a mate or am I mistaken," Sesshomaru stated.

"That is none of your business," Inuyasha growled, " besides you don't have a mate either. And not that it is any of your concern but I do have someone in mind."

"Would it be that young miko or the undead miko that you have your eye on," Sesshomaru asked.

"What do you think. The undead miko wouldn't be able to produce strong pups. The young miko has a very strong aura and her powers are still growing. She will be very powerful, especially of a human," Inuyasha said.

As he was planning to walk away a woman came and stood right in front of Inuyasha. The woman was Kikyou. Her face possessed anger. She heard all that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru said. It did break her heart a little bit but it was more anger because he owed his life to her and even if she died trying she would get his life.

"Inuyasha how dared you say that. I was the one you loved not the weak little girl I was the one that saved you from dying in the hand so Naraku, again. How can you pick her over me," Kikyou said.

"Yes I did love you before but that was a stupid half-demon searching for love. But all you did was use to become a normal woman. And it was Kagome who saved me from dying because she was the one that defeated Naraku and got the Jewel. She did with your help and Sesshomaru but she was the one that saved me. Kagome is stronger than you think. Since her powers are still growing she will become more powerful," Inuyasha spat out.

" But Inuyasha you owe your life to me," Kikyou screamed.

"I owed no one anything. I am not that filthy half demon that you loved before you pinned me to that fucking tree. Kagome changed me and she loved me even though I was a half-breed. That is why I'm choosing her as my mate," Inuyasha screamed.

"If that is how you want it then fine but I will not give up easily Inuyasha," and with that said Kikyou left Sesshomaru's land.

There was a long silence when Sesshomaru spoke up, "Why that wench was just on my land without my authority. I should kill her for it."

"Well I better get going, I have to find Kagome before anything happens to her. Good bye Sesshomaru," Inuyasha said and than was on his way. Sesshomaru was proud of his little of brother.

'Maybe we will be able to have a relationship between us. Who knows but I'll always be there to protect you and your mate when you need help,' is what Sesshomaru was thinking in his head.

(With Kagome)

Kagome was in the hut with Kaede. She knew helping the village was going to take a lot of work. Kaede was healing some village people while Kagome was helping Sango and Miroku.

'I wonder why Inuyasha had to see Sesshomaru. It was probably important. I wonder if it was about…' Kagome's thought was interrupted by a villager barging into the hut.

"Lady Kagome will you please help us find an herb. It is deep in the forest and you are the only that isn't afraid of the forest. Please help us," pleaded the villager.

"Of course I will help you," Kagome said cheerful so the villager couldn't detect her fear. The truth was she was afraid of the forest because Inuyasha would always go with her and now he was with Sesshomaru. But she couldn't let the village down; the people had gone through enough with Naraku.

"Sango, Miroku I'll be back in a little while I have to help the villagers find an herb. If you need anything send Kilala to get Kaede, okay?" Kagome asked.

They both just nodded their heads. Kagome went off to find the villager that barged into the hut. She was going to ask him about the herb he needed her to find but Kagome couldn't find him. She searched for him about ten minutes when she gave up and went into the forest.

'Oh well I'll just get all the herbs I can find. I do need some more to help Kaede heal the villagers' injures; Kaede probably needs more herbs too.' Kagome told herself.

Kagome enter the forest. She felt chills going up her spine but she ignored it. After an hour she had a basket full of different herbs throughout her the forest except the ones in near the darkest part of it. When Kagome reached that part of the forest she saw a beautiful flower. It was a pretty green color that looked like it was shining.

"I've never seen a green flower before," Kagome said aloud.

"Oh really, isn't that interesting so that means you where never here before," a voice from above her said.

She turn around quickly to see who it was. It was a bat demon that lived in the forest. His skin was pale almost like paper and his eyes were a bright red that made Kagome shake in fear. He had two black marks, one under each eye. His clothing was black pants like Inuyasha 's haori pants but he had armor for the top of his outfit. His arms weren't cover with anything. Kagome thought he was ugly.

"Of course you weren't here before. I would have remembered such a beautiful face," he said. Kagome just started to shake even more. She was terrified because she the demon was going to rape her. Then it pick her up and spread its wings.

"NO please put me down," she asked

"Never," he answered.

"NO HELP SOME SAVE ME HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP," Kagome kept screaming.

Then some thing jumped in the air and knock the bat to the ground. Kagome started falling with the bat when she fell into two muscular arms. The man but her down gentle and than went to destroy the bat.

"Not you ever touch my woman again, you fucking bat," shouted the man.

Kagome recognized that voice. It was Kouga who saved her. She would have to thank him later.

As Kouga went to punch the bat it grabbed his feet, that don't have the Jewel shards anymore, and pulled him to the ground. Kouga was trapped. Then the bat demon was about to punch Kouga, but something stopped the bat. He looked to see a full demon Inuyasha killing the demon with the Wind Scar. The bat demon was dead. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome to see if she was alright.

"Kagome," Inuyasha said.

"Thanks for saving me, Inuyasha ," Kagome said and the she turn to Kouga, "You too Kouga thanks for saving me."

"Keh," Inuyasha said. "He didn't save you, I did," Inuyasha stated in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Inuyasha, Kouga saved me too. He got he bat off me. So just be nice will you," Kagome answered back.

"Yeah dog turd she doesn't need you she has me," Kouga said.

Inuyasha growled. He wasn't in the mood for a stupid argument with that wolf. So he retorted back, "You mangy wolf if she was with you she'd be dead by now. If I hadn't come you'd be dead and Kagome would have been raped. Now I'm not in the mood for you I need to talk to Kagome."

"Okay Inuyasha , not be so rude about it. See ya later Kouga," Kagome said as she waved bye to Kouga. She felt like Inuyasha the half demon was still with her the only thing different was his look and he had less tolerance for Kouga.

Kouga raced off to his den in the mountains. Inuyasha watched him leave and then sniffed the air to make sure he was gone. As soon as the wolf was totally gone Inuyasha turned to Kagome with a serious face. He swallowed a lump he didn't even know was in his throat. He never thought he would be this nervous to asked Kagome a question. She was the only person that made him nervous.

"Um Kagome lets go this little meadow I know. It's a lot safer for us to talk there than it is this deep in the forest," Inuyasha said.

"Sure Inuyasha," Kagome answered. With that Inuyasha pick Kagome up bridal style and carried her off to the meadow.

I wonder what Inuyasha is going to ask Kagome. I still have to show my plan to save Kohaku. I wonder what it is . I got the idea of how to save him when I saw an episode of Inuyasha last year.

I hope you like it. Thanks for reading and please review.
