Okay! As you can see, I haven't updated this story since 2005, so…it's going to be kinda difficult, but I will try! And I have NO idea why I did this in first person POV but I will attempt it once again! Lol. Please enjoy!

I hugged Shippo to my chest, relieved that he chose me over Inuyasha, but I felt bad for Miroku and Sango, who stared sadly at me.

"Kagome, what…? What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Inuyasha yelled and I stood, setting my fists on my hips and glared at him.

"I'm not doing anything! I need a break from you and your bossing me around!" I screamed, though it wasn't completely true; I missed my friends, but I knew Sesshomaru wouldn't allow me to leave.

"What? You've never been this mad at me before," Inuyasha complained, looking at me in confusion; I flipped my raven hair over shoulder, feeling Shippo jump on my shoulder and Rin cling to my leg.

"It doesn't matter. At least with Sesshomaru I can live in peace," I mumbled and walked behind Sesshomaru, who stared down at me,

"I didn't think you enjoyed being with us so much," he said and I shrugged.

"I don't really, but I know you won't let me leave," I hid my face from Inuyasha, knowing he couldn't hear me anyway, "So I may as well make it easier on them and have them think I chose this," I finished and sat on a nearby rock, crossing my legs and arms.

"Kagome, are we really not going back to them?" Shippo asked and I sighed,

"No, I'm not, but you don't have to stay," I said with a sad smile, but Shippo shook his head,

"I'll go wherever you go!" We were interrupted by Inuyasha's growls and Sesshomaru bared his claws, his younger brother mimicking the motion. I gasped, standing,

"Lord Sesshomaru, please! Don't fight with him!" I begged, grabbing on to his sleeve, noticing how Inuyasha grimaced at the contact.

"What are you so close to him for, Kagome?!" he yelled, baring his fangs,

"Shut up! What do you care what I do with myself?! You'll just go back to Kikyo anyway!" I yelled and he went silent, a hurt look crossing his features.

"Is that what this is about? Kagome, Kikyo is…she's gone," he breathed and I huffed, crossing my arms,

"That's never stopped you before. You lose your mind whenever's she involved, and frankly, I'm tired of it!" At the moment Totosai appeared, Tokijin in his hands;

"Here you are Lord Sesshomaru, it's all done," he handed the sword over and Sesshomaru took it, sheathing it and grabbing me by the waist. I gasped, pulling Rin into my chest and Shippo followed, grabbing onto my shoulder as Sesshomaru lifted us into the air, the red cloud appearing again.

"We'll have to postpone this argument, brother," Sesshomaru said and we were off; I turned to see Inuyasha following desperately after us, yelling my name, but I looked away. It was always the same.

Back at the castle Rin and I showed Shippo the play room and the two of them hit it off greatly, playing with all the toys until they got tired. They came over to me to lay next me, Rin using my lap as a pillow.

"So Rin, if you guys live here, how come we used to run into you a lot on the road?" I asked her and she yawned, rolling over,

"We don't stay here for long, just so we can rest, and then we're off again, searching for Naraku," she explained and I nodded.

"Wait…why is Lord Sesshomaru looking for Naraku?" I asked but she shrugged, falling asleep.

*****

Soon after, Onisha entered the room, clearing her throat, waking me and the other two;

"Miss Kagome, it is time for dinner," she said and I nodded and followed Rin to the dining room, it would take me a while to get used to these halls. Kagome sat at her designated seat, with Rin to one side and Shippo to the other. Shippo stared at all the food set in front of him and dug in, but I tsked him,

"Shippo, use your manners," I said and he sulked, picking up his chopsticks and eating properly. I looked up at Sesshomaru, who always seemed to be finished eating way before everyone else, "Lord Sesshomaru, I've been wondering about something," I said and he looked at me.

"And what is that?"

"Well…why are you after Naraku?" He stared down at me and I started to wonder if he would even answer, or just kill me for my ignorance.

"He tried to hurt Rin, using her as a hostage against me," he said and I gasped, looking down at the happy girl still eating her dinner. She had been killed, brought back to life, and threatened by Naraku; and yet here she was, always smiling and excited.

"I see…"I smiled down at the children and they were soon done and we stood, Sesshomaru doing the same and walking over to me.

"We will be leaving tomorrow, so prepare what you need," he said and walked off, everything about him emotionless; I sighed,

"What an iceman," I said and Shippo nodded while Rin laughed. Rin led us back to our rooms, Shippo staying in mine with me, and I tucked her into bed, rubbing her back until she fell asleep. Back in my room, Shippo cuddled into me, under the warm blankets; "I'm sure going to miss this place," I yawned. Tomorrow, and the days afterwards, would be close to hell, I could tell.

There, I know it's short, but oh well! I can't think of anything XD I'm not good with this stuff, so uhh…yeah lmao. I'll have to start thinking of how to end it .
