The following morning, Kagome awoke at around 6:00, when the sun was still rising in the east. The sky was a pinkish-red color that reflected onto the white fluffy clouds. There was a cool breeze that nipped her skin as it blew on her. She looked around at her surroundings and saw that Rin and Jaken were still fast asleep. Inuyasha was propped up against a tree that was nearby where Kagome had been sleeping and he was also asleep. As she continued to look around, she noticed that Sesshoumaru was nowhere to be seen. Of course she was curious as to where Sesshoumaru went, but she decided that she wasn't going to worry about him. Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's brother, and if Sesshoumaru is anything like Inuyasha, he can definitely take care of himself.

Kagome finally stood up from her resting spot and walked over to the river that ran through the area. The river was peaceful; it barely made any sound. Only the trickling of water off the rocks could be heard. As she stood there, gazing at the river, she heard a deep voice beside her.

"You are Kagome, the one Inuyasha always went to see when he was younger," The deep voice said. It was Sesshoumaru. He was there the entire time, sitting on a rock beside the river. She did not see him, for he was hidden beneath the darkness of the trees.

She looked closely at him trying to catch his shadowed figure. Sesshoumaru helped her see, by moving into some sunlight that was shining on a tree. "I am," she finally said, "but…how did you know that Inuyasha had a friend when he was younger? You left him before I met him."

Sesshoumaru looked at her and then moved his gaze across the river. "You're right. I did leave before you met him, but I never said I didn't come back." Sesshoumaru glanced back at Kagome and saw that she looked a little bit confused. If Sesshoumaru came back, then why was Inuyasha so upset and saying that he didn't? "I came back as I was supposed to, but no one saw me," Sesshoumaru continued in a low, soft voice.

"You didn't want anyone to see you?" Kagome asked and Sesshoumaru nodded. "Why?"

"It's not that simple. Our worlds are nothing alike. Our history's different, our culture's different, and our traditions are different. You must understand that we are not alike and no matter how much you want to stay with Inuyasha, you can't," Sesshoumaru said.

"Sesshoumaru, why didn't you want anyone to see you? Don't you like your people?" Kagome asked once more, hoping for a response this time that would help her understand.

"In the demon world, when male demons turn a certain age, they have to leave their homes and journey to find a mate. Once he has found her, he must bring her back home. If they saw me back, they would wonder where my mate was. I would disgrace my family and disappoint my father."

"So, why did you keep going back?" Kagome asked, sitting down now on a rock across from Sesshoumaru.

"……I went back…" he paused, "…I went back because I wanted to check on Inuyasha…to make sure that he was okay. And he was, he had found you. Leaving him was the hardest thing I ever had to do. When I left home that night, it pained me so much to see Inuyasha like that, but I had too much pride. I didn't want my father to know that I had a soft spot for him. I didn't turn around once, not even to say goodbye because I knew that if I did, I would give in and go back to hug…………pfft! I don't know why I'm telling you this! You're just a human! Human's don't understand!" Sesshoumaru said walking away, leaving Kagome.

Kagome smiled to herself, "You two are very much alike," and with that she stood up and walked towards where Inuyasha was resting. She sat down next to him and snuggled up against his warm body. Inuyasha yawned and moved his arm around her shoulders, not knowing that two sad eyes were watching them within the darkness.

Kagome awoke once more a few hours later to find herself still beside Inuyasha. Rin and Jaken were up and sitting around a fire that Jaken had made. Kagome rose from the ground, leaving Inuyasha to sleep. "What's going on, you two?" Kagome asked and then looked around the area. "Where's Sesshoumaru?"

"LORD Sesshoumaru has gone. He is most likely wondering around somewhere. No one ever knows where he has gone," Jaken said, raising his head up in the hair as he spoke.

"You mean he has abandoned you,"

"What?! Stupid girl! Lord Sesshoumaru would never abandon us! You are a dumb, ugly, annoying little human, that is very grotesque, and idiotic beyond all reason because you are--"

"Yo!" Inuyasha's voice said, coming up behind Kagome, stretching his arms above his head. "What is this talk about a dumb, ugly, annoying little human that is grotesque and idiotic beyond all reason?"

"Well…ummm…uhh…hmmm…"

"You wanna try and say that again?" Inuyasha threatened and moved his face close up to Jaken's. Jaken's eyes grew wide with fear, for he new that Inuyasha had the power to kill him in one blow.

"Jaken," a deep, emotionless voice came from behind the shadows of the trees.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! You're back!" Rin cried excitedly, running up beside her Lord and looked up at him, with sparkly, admirable eyes.

"See, our Lord did not ABANDON us," Jaken said snobbishly to Kagome.

"Where did you go, my Lord?" Rin asked, clutching his pant leg to get his attention.

"Rin! Don't you ask Lord Sesshoumaru questions like that! Lord Sesshoumaru is too great to answer such questions! And besides, it's none of your business! Also, what are you doing?! Never clutch Lord Sesshoumaru's clothing! You'll wrinkle them!" Jaken snapped at Rin. Rin's happy smile turned into a frown instantly. The hand that was holding the clothing dropped to her side and she just stood there, starring down at the ground.

Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin and then at Jaken. "I was out wondering the area, making sure there were no demons around. Come, Rin, Jaken, we must leave," he said walking away from the area. As he turned around to leave, he placed his hand on Rin's head when he knew no one was looking at them. She began to smile once more.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha growled at his brother. "I'm not finished with you yet!"

"Yes, Sesshoumaru didn't say a word, he just continued walking. "Hey!"

"Inuyasha, maybe we should just let him go. We'll run into him again. I just know it," Kagome suggested. Inuyasha growled in his throat, but then stopped when Kagome wrapped her arms around his left arm.

"What now?" Inuyasha asked sadly.

"Let's go find something to eat. I'm starving!" Kagome said looking up at his sad face. She knew that Inuyasha looked up to his brother, like an idol. She knew he wanted answers, but if she told him what Sesshoumaru had done and what he was thinking, Inuyasha may not look at Sesshoumaru the same again.

Inuyasha looked down at her and smiled, "Okay, let's go." They reached the outskirts of the forest that they had been in. They found an open valley with a dirt path and decided to follow it. As they walked along the path the reached an old hut that looked like a store. Outside of the store sat a man and a woman side by side on a bench. The man was smiling, the woman was smiling, they both looked really happy. The woman was eating something that looked much like a piece of bread and the man was watching her. They were a couple, well, they looked like they were a couple until…

"What are you doing, monk!" The girl screamed and stood up from where she had been sitting. She had long, dark, brown hair that was tied in a white ribbon and her brown eyes sparkled in the sunlight.

"What are you talking about I was just nearly brushing the crumbs off of your beautiful lap," the monk said, smiling. He had short dark hair that was tied up in a pony tail. His dark blue eyes twinkled every time he looked at the woman. The man wore a purple robe that came down to his ankles and by his side was a tall, golden staff that had six rings on it.

"That is NOT my lap, you perverted monk!" The woman yelled, got up off the bench and stormed away inside the hut.

"Can't hurt to try," the monk said silently to himself and then carried on with his bread. "Women love me." He smiled.

"Excuse me, but is this where we can get some food," Kagome said and immediately the monk lifted his face.

"I have heard a voice of an angel!" he said "How may I help you?" He stood up taking one of her hands into his. He stroked it gently, gazing up into her eyes. "Your eyes are gorgeous! Will you bear my children?"

"What?! What is this?!" Inuyasha stormed in between them. He stared angrily down at the monk.

"Oh my, you're a demon! Now now, sir, I was just having a harmless conversation with the lady," he said backing away slowly.

"Harmless?" Inuyasha breathed heavily and walked slowly towards the somewhat scared monk, but before he reached him, something hit the monk on the head. It was that girl from before.

"Oww!" The monk screamed in pain.

"Serves you right, Miroku, for hitting on another woman especially a taken one!"

"But-but, Sango you didn't have to hit me that hard and even with my own weapon," he whined, rubbing his sore head. Ignoring the monk, she apologized to Kagome and Inuyasha and introduced herself. Sango then was distracted by the monk once more.

"I don't like it here," Inuyasha whispered to Kagome. "This is human land, I don't belong. Something's not right."

"It's okay, I'm here," Kagome whispered back and then turned to Sango. "Is this where we can get some food?"

"Yes, but you have to trade something for it. That necklace would do fine." It was the necklace Inuyasha had given her for her birthday. It was the one that had a silver chain and a silver heart with pink diamonds. She reached up and clutched it.

"No, I can't."

"Okay, well, that's alright, here I have something. Let's all go in together." Kagome agreed and looked up at Inuyasha. She could see in his eyes that he wasn't sure that it was a good idea to enter. She took his hand, leading him into the small building. When they entered, there was nothing, just an empty room. Sango and Miroku were standing side by side looking at Inuyasha and Kagome, smirking slightly.

"Sango? What's going on?" "I'm sorry, Kagome, it's my job," she replied.

"What are you talking about?" Suddenly, the sound of feet came running through the door behind them and surrounded Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha brought out his claws to fight back against the demons if and when they attacked. "Sango?" Kagome let out a scared cry. Her grip on Inuyasha's hand tightened. Sango walked up to Kagome and Inuyasha.

"I'm sorry you two, you both are very nice, but I work for the demon king. It's my job to capture any demon/human he wishes. I am to bring you back to him immediately. If you cause any trouble for us we'll have to use drastic measures." Sango then gave a signal and the demons grabbed Inuyasha and Kagome and separated them.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha struggled trying to get back over to her, but was being held back by his arms. "Let go of her you bastards! I know about the prophecy! It's me you want not Kagome! Leave her alone!"

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, we can't do that, the king wants her as well, not just you," Sango said.

Inuyasha looked at Sango and then at Kagome sadly. She to was struggling, but not as much as him. She was not strong enough to escape the grasps of the demons that were holding her. He knew about the prophecy, but he never told Kagome about it. Somewhere in his heart, he knew this day was coming. He had a feeling and he ignored it. They could have escaped and now they were in the hands of the king's men.
