A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter. I certainly enjoyed rewriting it. I'm shortening some chapters, and I'll probably lengthen others, so I hope that's okay. Thanks so much for baring with me!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha or any of the other characters.

Kagome screamed as the two gold eyes moved ever closer.

"Stay away from me!" she screamed. She held up her two hands in front of her; they glowed en eerie pink-ish hue, which stopped the two eyes immediately.

"Girl, did you say…Inu Yasha," asked a scratchy, yet clearly male voice. Kagome opened her eyes and looked at the two eyes warily.

"Wh-Who are you?" she asked as she slowly lowered her hands. There was a sigh and the eyes shifted slightly before he answered her.

"Forgive me…I have not been around humans in many years. I forgot you cannot see in the dark," he said sincerely. Kagome's eyes widened as a crack resounded throughout the cell, and a whip appeared. It cracked onto the floor, where it lit three candles in a row. "The light bothers my eyes, so forgive me for not having them lit for you. I did not mean to frighten you." Kagome's eyes traveled up, widening with each inch. His clothes looked so familiar, and her mind supplied the name 'Sesshomaru', because it was so true. His clothes were so similar, she would have said they got them from the same place, or at least made by the same person. There was no sword at his hip, which made her eyes lessen their intense search a bit (at least she was safe from that). Her eyes made it to his face, and she gasped. Two blue, jagged stripes were going across each cheek, all the way to his hairline; his eyes were a striking gold, and his hair was a shining silver.

"Oh my God." Her eyes scanned his face again, truly not even willing to believe what was in front of her…it was impossible! His eyes narrowed slightly as he frowned.

"Answer me. Do you know Inu Yasha?" he asked gruffly. She nodded and then cleared her throat.

"Yes…I…I know Inu Yasha," she paused again and swallowed hard, "I know your son." Inu Taisho's eyes widened slightly before he sighed.

"You know me too," he said more then asked as he plopped down onto the stone floor. Kagome nodded as she sat cross legged, and stared at him.

"How are you alive?" she wondered aloud. Inu Taisho rolled his eyes as he glanced at the door of the cell. The hall outside was completely dark, and clearly, there was no one out there.

"It is quite a story," he muttered. He glanced down at his hands, and Kagome watched as he clenched and unclenched them, each time his hands clenched, small pricks appeared in his skin where his claws had cut through.

"Stop," she said sternly. He glanced up at her and set his hands next to him.

"Who are you?" he asked curiously. He looked her up and down and raised an eyebrow, clearly confused by not only her, but her attire. She blushed slightly and scowled.

"It's my uniform," she defended herself. Inu Taisho merely stared. She waved a hand dismissively and shook her head.

"Never mind. How are you alive?" she asked again. He glanced around him again and shrugged.

"I was in a deep sleep, completely content with…," he paused, looking for the right word, "floating I suppose. It was like everything was there that I could possibly need, but nothing was actually there. Then, I heard a voice. The last time I had spoken to anyone was during the time of Sounga," he explained. Kagome nodded, and winced slightly at the memory, "so you can imagine how confused, how…interested I was in hearing another voice. It was one that I had never heard before, so I followed it. At first, it was strange, fuzzy, I couldn't clearly understand it, but then it slowly became clearer, until I clearly heard someone say 'Sesshomaru…and Inu Yasha.' I rushed towards the voice, all the while listening to the voice saying that my sons were in trouble…grave trouble, and that they needed my help in order to survive." Kagome frowned.

"Inu Yasha's fine," she whispered confusedly. He smirked and sighed.

"I know that now. When I finally reached the voice, it was a man," he paused and frowned, "a half demon, with black hair. Once I saw him, I saw him trying to work some sort of…magic, an ancient magic, one that I have seen only once before. He was trying to bind me to him…he was trying to control me. I think that perhaps…he was going to have me attack my sons," he whispered. He looked down at the stone floor, and then back up at Kagome who sighed.

"That has Naraku written all over it," she muttered sourly. He cocked his head to the side and nodded.

"Naraku…Naraku, yes. That was him," he growled quietly, "that was the name of the half demon."

"I'm not surprised. It sounds like his kind of thing," Kagome swallowed and her eyes softened, "he likes to play with people's hearts." Inu Taisho raised an eyebrow.

"You speak as though from experience…surely he can't have-" at Kagome's nod he paused, then laughed, "But surely there is a demon alive today who can kill a mere half demon."She thought for a moment before speaking.

"We've come close a few times," she mused, "but only Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru have come really close to killing him." He smiled.

"Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru? As in my Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru, yes?" he asked almost smugly. Kagome smirked as she placed her chin in her hand.

"Yeah, your sons alright," she said with a roll of her eyes. Inu Taisho frowned.

"Explain."

"It's quite a story," she said almost mockingly. His eyes twinkled as she repeated what he had said only a short time ago.

"I'm in the mood for a good story."
