When Kagome awoke she was in the air, in someone's arms. At first she thought it was Inuyasha, but she looked up to see Sesshomaru's face.
"Ah, so, you're awake, I see." Sesshomaru's said Looking at the girl in his arms.
"Aren't you going to even try to get away?"
"Nuh…No" Kagome said, looking at her blood stained sleeve. "Do…Do you know why I have blood on my shirt?" Kagome asked, bluntly.
"You fell from a cliff. You're lucky you weren't wounded any worse then you are now."
"Why…Where…Why are you taking me?" Kagome asked looking back at Sesshomaru's eye's, in which reminded her of Inuyasha's. "It doesn't matter anyway. It's not like Inuyasha is going to come after me, and it's not like I'm going to try and get away." Kagome thought to herself.
"I'm taking you to make a trade with Inuyasha. You seem to be of great importance to him." Sesshomaru said in his usual soft voice.
"Well not anymore," Kagome said now looking back at her sleeve.
"And why is that?" He asked, now, once again, looking at Kagome.
"He cares, far too much for Kikyo to even notice me around. If he sees her or even smells her near by, he always runs off no matter if I'm there or not. He'd never come back if I wasn't here to seek out the jewel shards for him!"
"Pitiful half demon, lets emotions get in the way. Humans are pathetic, and he allows his human heart to get in the way."
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Humans are weak, and so are half demons." Sesshomaru exclaimed. Sesshomaru no long reminded Kagome of Inuyasha and Kagome was starting to get a little ticked at Sesshomaru for calling her weak.
"The only power you have as a human, is the power of a priestess, enabling you to seek out the shards, and shoot those weak sacred arrow's of your's." Kagome's face was growing red with anger and wished that Sesshomaru had Inuyasha's necklace, enabling her to be able to say sit, making Sesshomaru the one crashing to the ground.
Sesshomaru finally decided to head down toward the ground. When they finally landed, He let Kagome out of his arms and started walking ahead. Kagome didn't know where she was and her best bet was to follow Sesshomaru so she followed him looking at the ground. Out of the bushes came Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin called out to Sesshomaru, waving. Kagome and Sesshomaru stopped walking once they saw Rin.
"Kagome! I wasn't expecting you, and you've come with Lord Sesshomaru!" Kagome got on her knees to greet Rin. Rin had a flower crown on her head, made of pink flowers. She grabbed one out of her crown and handed one to Sesshomaru and Kagome.
"Lord Sesshomaru? Why is Kagome here? Won't your brother get mad?" Rin asked.
"Rin, you ask too many questions. She's here, and she is going to be here for a little while." Rin nodded, and went to pick more flowers by the stream.
"You'll be needing food, I guess, I'll go catch some fish in the stream." Kagome followed Sesshomaru to the stream and started to help Rin pick flowers.
Ten minutes latter, Sesshomaru had caught enough fish to feed Rin and Kagome. Rin and Kagome stayed at the stream while Sesshomaru started a fire and cooked the fish. When the fish was done, they both, Rin and Kagome, headed back to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru handed them their fish and told them that was their food.
Inuyasha POV
Inuyasha could no longer smell Kagome's scent, and had to head back to where he left the others.
"I can't believe I lost her! She's really gone! I remember smelling her blood and quite a bit of it too. I hope she's alright! If I only had told her the truth, and answered her question none of this would have happened! This is my entire fault!" Inuyasha kept repeating over and over in his head. The scent of Kagome's blood was still in his nostrils, and he wanted the scent out! "If only…If only…If only I had told her the truth! That I loved her! That I cared about her more then the world! More then the Jewel of four souls! If only I had told her, that I'd become human for her."
Once Inuyasha reached the others he had to tell that he'd lost Kagome, but when he reached them they asked where she was before he could tell them.
"She…She's gone…The last scent of hers was her blood." This troubled the group, and Inuyasha now wished he hadn't have told them that, because now they were yelling at him for letting her get away.
"How could you let her get away? And knowing she might be dead!" Shippo yelled at him. "If only I were big! I could hit you right on the back of the head, like you do to me! Make you pay for losing poor Kagome! Inuyasha, you're such an idiot!" This thought made Shippo laugh, getting him a hit in the back of the head from Inuyasha.
"What's so funny!" Inuyasha asked, in an uproar.
"What did you do that made her want to leave!" Shippo retorted, but Inuyasha wouldn't answer. "What did she ask you, that you couldn't even answer!" Shippo yelled.
"Mind your own business!"
"Well fine, I'm going to go look for Kagome!" Shippo said, transforming into a pink balloon-like shape and floating up into the sky above.
After an hour Shippo finally Spotted Kagome, asleep in the grass, by Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un. She was curled up by Rin, lying on Ah-Un like a pillow.
"Oh! She left Inuyasha for Sesshomaru? I don't believe it! I'd better head back to tell the others!" Shippo then turned around and headed back to where Inuyasha and the others awaited his return. Once Shippo returned, Inuyasha grabbed him by his tail and looked him in the eye, as he just dangled there, looking at Inuyasha.
"So, did you find her?" Inuyasha said, now shaking Shippo about.
"Yes, she's asleep with Sesshomaru, I mean with Sesshomaru, asleep, I mean she is asleep on the ground, and Sesshomaru is there." Shippo said, stuttering from the shaking and being nervous. Afraid of how Inuyasha would react, Shippo quickly covered his eyes, and was dropped to the ground.
"She left me for Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled, now heading toward a tree. Inuyasha then balled his first and started pounding the tree.
"He doesn't have to take it out on a poor tree," Sango whispered to Miroku.
"I heard that!" Inuyasha yelled at Sango
"Oh and now you're going to take it out on me, I assume." Sango said.
"Now, Inuyasha, You might have it wrong. Maybe Sesshomaru took Kagome." Miroku said trying to be reassuring, but it didn't work.
"Why would Kagome stay there then? Why would she be sleeping?"
"Well…Maybe she wasn't sleeping; maybe she was dead or unconscious."
"And that's supposed to make me feel better!" Inuyasha was now in Miroku's face yelling at him, for trying to make him feel better. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all sighed.
"Well we better head off, to find Kagome.
Kagome POV
Kagome lay asleep, with Rin at her side. Kagome held a pink flower in her hand and Rin still had her Pink flower crown on. Sesshomaru was lying against a tree, staring at the stars.
"Kagome isn't such bad company. She's a lot like Rin, sweet, and kind. Her temper may get bad at times if I talk about how pitiful humans are, but other than that her company is quit enjoyable. She's pretty too, if only she was Yokai, like me." Sesshomaru kept pondering these thoughts. Then he heard a little whisper come from Kagome.
"Se… Sesshomaru?"
"Huh?"
"Thank you for the fish, earlier." Kagome said, Opening her eyes a little.
"You're welcome, now go back to sleep" Sesshomaru said, in return. Kagome nodded slightly.
"I should get some sleep too, it's been a while." Sesshomaru told himself. Sesshomaru closed his eyes, and soon was asleep. Kagome peeked out through one eye, and saw Sesshomaru asleep. She grabbed her backpack and searched it for a blanket
"Found one!" Kagome said to herself, happily. She pulled it out of her pack and covered Sesshomaru with it, and she lay back down, and soon fell asleep.
