Finally catching up to the hasty hanyou, everyone see what had caused so much anger to build in him. Sesshomaru stood in the middle of the clearing. Headstrong as always, Inuyasha leapt into battle before even coming up with a plan. After being brutally knocked back several times, Inuyasha had enough sense to change tactics. He instead used the adamant barrage to send the sharp diamonds at his half-brother. Sesshomaru, being as quick as he was, easily dodged the attacks.

That was until Kagome let loose one of her sacred arrows. He still managed to dodge Inuyasha's attacks, but was grazed by the sacred power that had engulfed the arrow. It wasn't anything serious, it just slowed him down I bit. Being at the slight disadvantage of number, Sesshomaru went on the offensive.

Instead of facing his brash brother whose aim could really use some work, he sent a semi powerful wave of tokijin's power at the girl who would dare interfere with the sword learn he was trying to teach his brother.

Even though the miko could easily put up a barrier, Inuyasha still sprung in to save the day. Barely missing the wave after he picked up 'his' girl, he turned to his brother to get his revenge for daring to threaten the one thing that had stayed by his side. Roaring in anger, Inuyasha ran straight for his brother. Although before he could make it more than a couple of steps, he heard the one thing that would always make him stop dead in his tracks.

"Sit" it was barely audible but all the same, he sat. Hearing the growl that had arouse from her friend on the ground she answered his question. "You run into a battle that you have no chance at winning, especially when you loose your somewhat level head."

Looking at the taiyouki she thought, for the briefest of seconds, that he had actually smirked at what she had said. No that couldn't be right, the only time that the expression on his cold face would change was right before he killed something.

Seeing his opportunity to strike, Inuyasha quickly let out another adamant barrage. This time however one of the tiny diamonds grazed the cheek of the all-powerful demon. The instant that it drew blood, a great light spread forth. Smoke bellowed out as a massively strong wind tore across the land. With a surge of immense energy, all stopped. Leaving a cloud of smoke that slowly dissipated from the land.

The smoke settled to show Sesshomaru lying on the ground, presumably unconscious. Kagome saw that the hanyou that had been too close was now across the field in what looked to be a worse state then the demon lord. Taking charge, Kagome told Miroku to go fetch Inuyasha while she and Sango went to check on Sesshomaru.

"What and leave you two to the mercy of the demon lord. No way, not a chance, never in a million years." The not too bright monk argued.

With I glare that was just about as icy as the lord himself, she replied " I have walking all day, had my share of fight with that stupid Inuyasha, and now I can't even approach someone, whom I might add, if he were to so much and move I wouldn't think twice before putting an arrow through him. All because you think that it may be too dangerous for a demon slayer and a miko."

Quickly raising his hands in surrender Miroku left to go get the 'lucky to be out of it' hanyou.

"Shall we" Sango gestured to middle of the field.

With a smile Kagome replied "we shall" witch caused the smile to spread to her friends face as well.

The walk was short and quick, that was until they started to near their destination. Kagome drew her bow and Sango's hand rested on the edge of her blade. The giant boomerang wouldn't be wise to weld so close to the threat.

When Kagome got I good look at her target she lowered her bow and gasped. There in the clothes of the all might taiyouki, was I small child, bigger then Shippo, but not as big as Sota. The markings on his face were lighter, and hard expression he usually wore was now a soft peace that was only found on an innocent child. Glancing a look at the slayer, a silent massage was transferred between them. I'll make sure it's real while you be ready for an attack.

Kagome slowly put down her bow and crossed the few feet she was away from Sesshomaru. Bending down she gently brushed her hand along the side of his face. He turned his head slightly away before letting out a soft groan. Two golden eyes slowly open and grew focused on the girl that was hovering over his body. A soft but feral growl escaped his lips as be bared his fangs at her.

Ssssssssssssssssss

I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters. (No matter how much I may want those fuzzy little ears) I do not make any money off this fic. I write purely for my own (and maybe others) entertainment.
