Chapter 12: Are You Trying to get us All Killed
A Few Weeks Latter
The group was tired they hadn't stopped looking for Kamavirya in two weeks.
"Sesshoumaru, I don't think we're going to find him," Inuyasha said. "Not unless we sat a trap for him and I can't see how we could possibly do that."
"I don't either." Sesshoumaru answered. In truth he was becoming tired as well. Which was strange since he hadn't been tired since he was a child. Glancing in front of him he could see how weary the others had become. Perhaps it is time to end this search for Kamavirya and let him come to me. But what would he use for bate? Shuurin. Sesshoumaru shuttered at the thought of using Shuurin. Especially since he was sure that she was somehow connected to Rin.

That Night
"Let's stop here for the night." Inuyasha said when night had fallen. He glanced back at his brother who hadn't it said anything. Inuyasha froze Sesshoumaru was watching Shuurin who was leaning up against Kirara. She looked tried, there were black-blue circles under her eyes from so little sleep, since she had began traveling with them she hadn't gotten much sleep.
"Fine," Sesshoumaru said, realizing that Inuyasha was waiting for him to say something.
The group quickly set up camp. Rin, as always, curled up beneath a cherry blossom tree to watch the stars. Sesshoumaru quietly walked over next to her and sat down.
"Why do you watch the stars?"
"Someone once told me that if l watched the stars at night then he would watch them too and we would be watching them together even when we weren't together."
"Who ever told you that was a wise person."
"I suppose so."
"Why don't you talk to him?"
"I don't know where he is."
"You could always try to find him."
"What do you want Sesshoumaru?"
"To use you as bate for Kamavirya."
"Why do you want to use me as bate?"
"He knows who you are and that you are a friend of Nami and Rin's"
"Why me though? You could use anyone who is a friend of Nami's or Rin's. Why does it have to be me?"
"You're the only one here who knew both of them well." He held up a hand when he saw that Shuurin was about to speak. "I knew Rin well not Nami."
"Fine I'll do it. I'll be your bate to catch Kamavirya." Smiling Sesshoumaru turned and walked a few feet away. Sitting down he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
-------------------------------
Early the Next Morning
Sesshoumaru stood up the next morning having slept for the first time since he was a child. Inuyasha was the only other person who was awake. Looking at his brother Inuyasha knew that Sesshoumaru had been up to something.
"What did you do?" Inuyasha asked looking at his brother.
"I found a way to lure Kamavirya out into the open."
"How?"
"Shuurin."
"What does she have to do with anything?"
"She's Rin."
"Sesshoumaru, she can't be Rin." Inuyasha said looking at Sesshoumaru. He felt sorry for his brother. "No one know where Rin is." Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha and shook his head. "Sesshoumaru, please don't' get them killed."
"I won't get them killed."
"I just think that you might be going a little overboard on trying to catch Kamavirya."
"If someone had threatened Kagome's life wouldn't you be hunting them down?"
Inuyasha looked at his brother before answering his question, "Yes." Kagome who had heared just part of what Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha had been saying glared at both of them.
"Are you trying to get us all killed!" she demanded of them.
"Kagome," Inuyasha said in a warning voice, "you don't know the whole story."
"I don't have to know the whole story to know that you're trying to get Shuurin killed over a girl who hates you!" Kagome yelled before she turned and stomped away from Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha.
