Naraku smiled, perfect, this was perfect. He had told Kikyo he wanted Kagome to go home, but that was not true. He wanted Kagome to run home alright, that way he could catch her.

"I shall deal with you later priestess," Sesshomaru said turning away. Sessho stepped in front of his father,

"Move." Sesshomaru stated, but his son did not move.

"What will you say to her father?" He was stalling his father, Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at his son, and for the first time, he noticed what his son was doing. Sesshomaru said nothing and passed his son and went after Kagome.

"He will catch her" Kikyo spoke with a cold voice,

"No, no he won't," Sessho said, then he walked off, leaving the rest of the group to wonder.

Kagome ran alright, but she didn't make it to the well, she was caught, but it was not Sesshomaru who caught her, it was Naraku.

"Let me go!" She yelled loud,

"Or what?" Naraku asked with a vial smirk his lips near her ear.

"I will fry you!" Her threat was weak even though her voice was loud. Naraku laughed "No Miko I don't think you will see I have the whole jewel; it will take more than your weak human Miko powers to kill me."

Kagome struggled against him then hit on the chest "Now Miko is that any way to treat that future father of your child" Kagome's eyes got wide in fear, real fear.

"See Miko I came right out and told you, unlike Sesshomaru who was hiding it from you."

Kagome was angry "I'd rather bear him a child any day than with you!" She said trying to jerk away from him.

"Unhand her."

Both Kagome and Naraku turned to see Sesshomaru, sword drawn. "How nice of you to join us Sesshomaru."

"Unhand her" He stated again,

Naraku laughed "If I did that I could not make her my mate. now could I?"

Kagome's heart froze at those words "Foolish demon, perhaps you should have marked her, oh but that's right you just wanted to pup her."

Sesshomaru's eyes were now bleeding red "Unhand her," He said once more, in a grave tone.

"Oh I think puppy wants to play," Naraku said, then tossed Kagome hard to the ground and took out his sword.

"Today Lord Sesshomaru I shall kill you, and then I shall have your Miko."

Sesshomaru was far gone, he turned into his demon dog form, something he did not do often. Naraku though just smiled and called for Sesshomaru to attack. Sesshomaru went forward but Naraku with the jewel was quick, he was behind Sesshomaru and slashed his leg. Sesshomaru turned the front of his large body and barked at Naraku.

"Come now Lord Sesshomaru," Naraku said with a smile, Sesshomaru started drooling, his poison seeping out, he turned so now he was facing Naraku, Naraku slashed again, but this time Sesshomaru took his sword, his poison melting it. Now Naraku was angry, his body seemed to open, and demons came flying out, all Sesshomaru could do was turn his head every which way and snap at them, he was too big, it was hard to fight in this form.

"Sesshomaru! Sesshomaru you have to calm down!" It was Kagome's voice, she now stood at his front leg and was holding onto it. The winds had become strong, and Naraku was still releasing demons. Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome "Calm down Sesshomaru!" She yelled at him again. Sesshomaru let his beast have control, only because he was fighting himself and if one is fighting with one's self, one can not have control, it angered him, he always had control.

"Sesshomaru, Please!" Kagome yelled,

He barked at her as if he were telling he to be silent. He needed silence. His mind was running, her words to Naraku playing in his mind. Should she have to choose, she would choose to give him a son, there it was, in her own words, no trick. So be it.

Then little by little Sesshomaru shrank, till he was standing next to Kagome in human form, his arm around her waist, his mouth on her neck. Kagome held tight to his arms, as he bit down on her, she knew what he was doing and so did Naraku.

"No!" Naraku yelled, he had been blind, he should have never let go of Kagome, now his plan was once again being ruined. Kagome gasp as Sesshomaru's fangs released her neck and was replaced with his lips. He kissed her neck softly and slowly backed his face away from her neck in till his eyes were met with hers. She just looked at him, shocked, scared and wondering what it all meant. They did not look away from each other when the group came running in; they didn't turn away when Naraku laughed and said he would return, that this was not over.

Kagome lifted her hand to her neck, she felt the mark, the mark marking her as his.

"You bastard what did you do!" Inuyasha yelled his sword in his hand.

"Are you ok Kagome?" Sango asked coming next to her friend. Sango gasp when she moved Kagome's hand and saw the mark. Sango turned and looked at Sesshomaru, who had his eye set on Kagome. "I'm going to kill you!" Inuyasha yelled again, Miroku placed his hand on Inuyasha shoulder "I do believe your brother just saved Kagome from Naraku, the real Naraku."

"He didn't have to mark her!" Inuyasha yelled angrily. Kikyo stood and could not help but to be mad, why was it that Inuyasha still cared?

Kagome and Sesshomaru were still looking at each other "You saved me" Kagome spoke,

"No, I didn't save you," Sesshomaru said, he remembered his son asking what he would say to her.

Kagome was confused, what did he mean he didn't save her? Kagome leaned her head over in confusion. Sesshomaru reached out and moved her hair away from his mark and then rubbed his thumb over it. Kagome closed her eyes and let the warm feeling of his hand take her thoughts.

"I didn't save you," He said again, Kagome opened her eyes and looked into his. It then set in with his soft-spoken words and the look in his eyes, no he didn't mark her to save her, he marked her because he wanted too, could, because she had not refused him and Sesshomaru was one to accept fate with honor.

mwhahah not then end!
