Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN INUYASHA. There, Ya happy!
"Stay here Kagome." Sesshoaru quickly left leaving her. She did as he said. Sesshomaru ran outside to find Kaugra of all people. "What do you want?" He asked her very calmly.
"Answer me one question, and then i'll be on my way. Where is Inuyasha? If I find him, I can find that useless brat of his.
"Honestly Kaugra, I have no idea where he is. Please, go and leave me to my peace. I am no mood to fight."
"I didn't come to fight you, Sesshomaru. Just if you know, tell me. I need the jewel shards. If you tell me where he is, i'll give you two of Kagome's shards."
"I'm not interested in Jewel Shards." He replied but thought at the same time, 'Kagome has sacred Jewel Shards?'
"Fine." With that, Kaugra flew away on her feather leaving Sesshomaru to think. He finally went inside to question Kagome of her possession of the jewel shards.
"Kagome? Why do you have the sacred jewel shards? Have you stolen them from Inuyasha?"
"Of course not! I keep them for Inuyasha. Why?"
"No reason really, but, those shards are attracting unwanted visitors." Sesshomaru turned to walk away. "Oh and , Kagome?"
"Yes lord Sesshomaru?"
"This child will come faster than you have expected."
Jaken was walking in the woods just for something to do to get away from Rin. He had accidentally wandered off too far, and noticed he was going in circles. A loud voice caught his attention. Inuyasha shoved the small creature against a tree and pinned him there making it hard for him to squirm.
"Lucky day, eh?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically. Then he gritted his teeth. "Where's Kagome?"
"I-I'm not sure! I-I'm lost right now!" Jaken replied as his large yellow eyes doubled in size. Inuyasha held a claw to his neck.
"How would you like for me to finish you off right about now?" Inuyasha asked with a mischevious smile forming on his face.
"No-no please! Don't hurt me!" Jaken was completely terrified.
"Tell me where she is!"
"She's in the castle with lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken said squirming quickly. Inuyasha laughed at his behavior.
"Aww come on! Let him go, he answered your question." Sango said feeling sympathetic for the pitiful creature.
"Yeah! What she said!" Jaken was getting nervous. Inuyasha dropped him to the ground with a loud thud. "Where's the castle?" Inuyasha asked with his hand on the tetsusiaga incase Jaken rebelled.
"I- I- I told you! I'm lost!"
"How fast is faster than I think?" Kagome asked very shocked.
"Give it about two months. It's a pwerful demon child, remember?" He said in a matter-of-fact tone. Kagome looked at her shoes then muttered, "Half-demon. Like Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru grabbed her shoulder tight enough to make her wince.
"NOT like Inuyasha."
Kagome looked up at him and hugged him. "I love you Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru returned her hug but never said anything. He really wasn't the mushy type. Kagome's eyes widened.
"Sesshomaru?" She looked up at his stern face.
"Yes?"
"Don't you love me too?" she asked hoping he would say yes.
"Sure I do." he smiled slightly.
"Why do you never tell me that? I seen to be the one who always says it first."
Sesshomaru stared straight ahead then looked into her eyes. "Must I? You should already know that." He smiled once again and hugged her tighter. Kagome returned his smile and gave him a soft, small kiss. Breaking away from him, she once again told him that she loved him then left the room. Sesshomaru stood there staring and thinking. 'How must I let her take over me in such a way?' he questioned himself.
Inuyasha had a tight grip on Jaken's neck as they were walking. Jaken led him in the direction he thought would lead them to the castle. They ended up going in a circle and ending up where they had started.
"Ya know, you suck at directions." Inuyasha said looking at Jakens huge yellow eyes.
"I'm sorry!" Jaken squealed as if it were a plea for his life.
"Well, guess you'll just have to become MY slave then. Now won't ya?" Inuyasha smiled mischeviously as a bright idea came to his mind. "I'll keep Jaken untill Sesshomaru returns Kagome."
"Inuyasha?" said Sango looking over at him but there was no reply. "Inuyasha?" but still, there was no reply. "INUYASHA!" Sango screamed. Inuyasha shook his head coming out of that 'spaced out' feeling.
"WHAT? Can't ya see i'm tryin to think here?" he riased his fist to her.
"Calm down Inuyasha. Violence is no way to solve a problem." Miroku said like he knew it all. "Besides, you wouldn't want to hit a girl like Lady Sango, would you?"
Inuyasha turned hi back to them, crossed his arms, and stuck his nose in the air. "Feh. Hardly."
"Now can't we just all get along?" Miroku asked peacefully while rubing Sango's bottom. She once again slapped him then thought, 'He'll never learn.'
Kilala meowed in agreement. "see Kilala thinks we're being ridiculous. "Sango said scratching Kilala's chin lightly making the kitty close her eyes.
"Where did Jaken go?" Inuyasha looked around with 'disgusted' written all over his face.
"Right here!" He said coming out from behind a nearby tree.
"Ya know,..." Miroku started "...the way you and Myoga run from fighting and danger, you would make a perfect team. Anyways, lets get back to buisness." Mioku started off then Inuyasha came up beside him. This was going to be a long journey because findong Kagome would probably take a long time. During the trip, Inuyasha thought most of the time of Kagome. She was even in his every dream. He could had that feeling though, that they were getting close although he couldn't pick up any scents. He made up his mind to search for Kagome until she was found.
