Dawn.
Sesshoumaru's eyes were closed, his breathing fair, and his arms were locked around her. Kagome watched this beautiful man as he slept. She wondered if this was a first for him. If it is it might be his last. Kagome stuffed the thought away. She wouldn't let this moment be ruined. She would not allow herself to think of the world, of how little time she had. For now time had stopped. For now everything was as it should have been. Kagome was safe. Sesshoumaru loved her. And her bestfriend had not betrayed her loyalty. The sun shined on his skin the golden glow giving his skin an air of softness. Kagome smiled and snuggled in closer. She couldn't believe what she had done. She tried to remember last night. Every thought, kiss, and ripple of passion came to her mind. It had been wonderful. He had been wonderful. She tried to sneak away to take a shower but stopped. The little distance between them gave her full view of Sesshoumaru's ahem anatomy. She blushed harshly. Kagome breathed and tried to move away without waking him. Sesshoumaru's grip tightened as if in protection. Did he even know? Kagome began to pet his tail, and stroke his chest.

"We'll stay in a bed a lot later if you keep doing that. Of course I don't mind." Kagome withdrew her hand and looked into those eyes. Sesshoumaru's eyes opened then widened in surprise.

"What?" Kagome asked, she looked behind her extinctively.

"Your eyes, they're beautiful." Sesshoumaru was mesmerized by the sudden mix of red and blue in Kagome's eyes. She seemed so calm so at peace. She seemed in love. "Kagome?"

"Hmm." Kagome snuggled under his chin.

"Do you-did you-?" He didn't know how to make the question.

"Did you mean what you said last night?" Kagome asked out of the blue. Sesshoumaru stiffened but relaxed instantly.

"Of course I did." He lifted her head and kissed her. A few minutes later ahem-ahem they were up and ready to go.

"Kagome." Sesshoumaru stopped her as she got dressed.

Kagome didn't meet his gaze for fear of what she might see there. Do you know Sesshoumaru? Did you know this whole time?

"We're going to go stop Sango, and Naraku. Its okay though. Everything is going to be alright."

"Nothing is going to be alright. I don't think I'm strong enough. I mean my father is trying to kill me, my friend is trying to kill me, and I am fated to kill y-" She looked up to see if Sesshoumaru was still there. That's right. I am going to kill him. He's not going to die or disappear. He will be killed, murdered by me. But I love him!

"Kagome? Are you okay? Who are you fated to kill?" Kagome went pale. "You know what forget it. Just forget it. We'll deal with everything one step at a time. I'll be here. I won't leave you."

"How I wish you wouldn't." Kagome whispered.

The horses were set and the army for the capture was ready to go by the time Sesshoumaru came down to the front. General Azazu made his way to him. His deep voice rumbled as harshly as his feet when he walked.

"We're all ready and waiting sir. No one will attack unless its by your command, sir. Lead the way." Sesshoumaru mounted his horse with Kagome by his side. Little by little she began to resemble the demon that she had hidden away all her life. If the others noticed they didn't say anything in respect of Sesshoumaru. Before they rode on Sesshoumaru turned to his men.

"Demons, humans, and ladies, we are there for Sango's capture and Miroku. Do not be fooled. They are enemies until proven otherwise! No one is to attack unless a threat is issued. Wait for my signal or General Azazu's! Is that clear?"

The crowd shouted a 'ooorah' in response. They galloped away.

Family
"I can't believe it! You did what?" Naraku fumed.

"Don't worry about it. Nothing has changed." Sango waved his anger off. "They'll be here and when they get here we'll have them over for dinner."

"You must kill Kagome!" Naraku leered at her, Miroku stood off on the side with the other lady.

"No I want Sesshoumaru." Sango yelled, Naraku slapped her. "You fool if you kill him then my plan will be ruined!"

Sango held her cheek. "Watch yourself Naraku, you hold too many against you already to make an enemy right now."

"You wouldn't dare betray me. Now kill the wretched girl. Her death will be Sesshoumaru's undoing."

At the gates an army of Asterisk Land entered and stayed at the gates. Two figures mounted off and walked towards the castle. The kingdom deserted, except for the few demons lingering about feasting on the dead corpses. Kagome reached behind her and armed herself with her bow. Sesshoumaru unsheathed his sword. Shippo knocked on the door and ran all the way back to the army. The door creaked open. The silence hung over the air, so suffocating, so consuming it hurt to breathe.

"We are here for the arrest of Sango and Miroku. They are accused of betrayal to the king!" Sesshoumaru's voice echoed deeply into the halls.

"Sango!" Kagome saw a shadow move swiftly by the stairs. Sesshoumaru saw one on the opposite side. Unintentially they split. Kagome went to the east, and Sesshoumaru to the far west corridor. Kagome checked behind the swaying drapes that hung and smelled of death. Her demon instincts were kicking in. She was becoming more and more aware of how her body began to give in to it. She noticed how she began to enjoy the feel of it more. Kagome sniffed the air. It was Miroku.

"Don't shoot Kagome." He came from behind a door. Kagome kept her arrow pointed at his heart.

"Why?"

"Kagome, please."

"Why did you do it? How could you?"

"It wasn't my fault. I love her. Anything to make her happy. Even if I do take my step sister's life." Kagome gasped. Her world began to spin. What did he just say?

"Wh-what did you say?" Kagome's gaurd was let down.

"Naraku is my father. That lady with the whistle is my mother. Father gave her that flute thing to control you and me. Me, a half demon, and you, a full demon. Please, Kagome. I have grown up known this. I have kept it from my father but I cannot keep it from you. Not anymore. Kagome please don't make me hurt you."

"Who-who told you tha?" Kagome felt the air leave her lungs. She had two brothers. One who was completely human and the other who understood how tortured her soul was. Tears began to form unwillingly. She was trying hard not to cry so she was surprised when hot liquid began to stream down her cheeks.

"My mother. Your mother's sister. We would've been related either way. Kagome just turn. Run away I won't say anything. I already have a corpse to take your place. Please Kagome. I'm asking you as a brother would his sister."

"You have to stop Sango. We have to stop Sango."

"Kagome don't make me do this, please!" Miroku begged one last time. Kagome armed herself again. Both tortured and torn. Hating that they were put on this earth only to fight one another.

"I'm sorry." Kagome said.

"Me too." Miroku whispered.
