Miroku, Sango, and Shippo followed Inuyasha closely on Kilala's back. He would run a little bit then get on the ground and sniff around.

"I can't understand. You said they were right here, right?" Inuyasha pointed to a place beside the well. "I can't pick up their scent at all. Which way did they go?"

Miroku pointed in the direction that Sesshomaru and Kagome had went. They continued to follow Inuyasha, then suddenly stopped.

"Why'd ya guys stop? We got work to do here." Inuyasha angrily yelled to them.

"We lost her right here. This is where Kaugra came from no where and asked for you." Sango said concentrating very hard trying to remember that night.

"Kaugra came for me?" Inuyasha asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes," Miroku said rubbing his chin "but she never stated why."

"Well, it musta not been that important then. Besides, I have better things to do than fight a woman who feels sorry for herself."

"I would too if I was under Naraku's every order." Sang murmered.

"I'm surprised you aren't feeling sorry for your self being under Inuyasha's orders." Miroku joked making Sango giggle.

"Hey! I heard that you good for nothin' monk!" Inuyasha snapped back.

"You must speak to me sometime, mortal." Sesshomaru tried everything to get Kagome to talk to him. All she did though was turn her back to him. "Don't make me force you to talk."

"Why should I talk to you? You violated me!" Kagome yelled over her shoulder.

"I had my reasons Kagome. You need to open up to me, we're a couple now whether you are ready to except that or not." Sesshomaru jumped in front of her , but she turned her back again."

"It wasn't my idea to become your mate! You took matters into your own hands." Kagome was very mad but refused to cry.

"You are getting smart with me Kagome. Will I need to put you in your place?" Sesshomaru also was getting angry but didn't want to raise his voice to the worn-out miko.

"I wish you would! My place is with my family and Inuyasha! You took that away! You've taken everything away! My pride, my self-esteem, my confidence, and even my virginity! WHat do you want next, my soul?"

Sesshomaru grabbed her arm.

"Go ahead! Hit me! Put me out of the useless life of mine! Finish me off! I don't want to live any-" Kagome was cut off by a kiss. A heartwarming sensational kiss. It made her feel good. She grabbed Sesshomaru's back and pulled him closer to her. They were quickly interrupted.

"Lord Sesshomaru? What can I..." Rin began to giggle. "Ewwww you guys are gross!"

Sesshomaru looked at Rin. "Jaken! Why aren't you looking after the child?"

Jaken came runnung onto the room. "I'm very sorry Lord Sesshomaru. She got bored with me."

"Well, ENTERTAIN HER!" Sesshomaru was very embarrased that he got caught kissing a mortal. He also was angry that Jaken wasn't taking care of Rin. "Leave Jaken. Take Rin with you."

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken replied in a bored sort of tone.

"I haven't had a real kiss in a long time." Kagome said looking at her feet.

"Well, did you enjoy it?" Sesshomaru asked with a slight smile.

"I most certainly did." She replied grabbing his wrist bringing him closer to her for another kiss. Kagome closed her eyes during this kiss and thought to herself, 'I can't believe I'm feeling this way about Sesshomaru right now after what he did to me!'

Sesshomaru was enjoying every second of it. He too was thinking to himself during the second kiss. 'I've got her right where I want her. I love her so much but I must receive the tetsusiaga. At this point, she would do anything for me.' Thinking this, Sesshomaru took the kiss deeper. His neck was starting to ache from bending it because Kagome was so much shorter than him. But finally, Kagome ended the kiss. She looked up into his golden eyes and smiled.

"What happened Kagome? Just a few minutes ago, you hated me." Sesshomaru asked in a very stuck on hisself kind of way.

"I'm not sure. But my whole outlook on you has changed suddenly. Although, I'm still a little upset that you did what you did to me. I mean, that was scary and mean. I just want someone to love me."

"I can do that." He said with a smile.

"Where should we even begin?" Sango asked in deep confusion.

"Well, which way did they go?" Inuyasha asked in a duh sort of tone.

"We already told you!" Miroku snapped back. He wasn't very happy either with Kagome's sudden dissapearance. They all started off in the direction Miroku had pointed earlier. This was going to take a while. Chances were, they'd probably run into some enemies that possess a sacred jewel shard. Kagome wouldn't be there to spot it.

"I'm surprised Kaugra hasn't come looking for you again, Inuyasha." Shippo said breaking the silence.

"If she does, I'll just have to finish her off!" Inuyasha tightened his fist. "I'm gonna find Kagome."

Kagome didn't understand what was happening to her. 'Has he put a spell on me? Or am I just love sick? I can't stand to be away from him anymore.' She thought as Sesshomaru was embracing her. 'Maybe if he knows I love him, he won't hurt me anymore.' All she could then think about was all the pain he had put her through since he abducted her. She had gotten plenty of beatings. Sesshomaru brought his hand to her face while she was thinking and made her jump a little. All of a sudden, someone barged through the door.

"STOP!"

Kagome and Sesshomaru quickly looked at the figure.

"What is it now?" Sesshomaru asked.

The guard replied, "I think we have a visitor."
