A/N: I've been liking this story more and more as I write it. Here is chapter 2, sorry for its shortness, but I only have a computer for like four more days, and then it could be weeks before I have another one to write on, but no worries. I'll update ASAP.

"Inuyasha, SIT!" Inuyasha slammed to the ground allowing Kagome to jump safely from his arms.

"What?! What did I do?!" He protested.

"What did you do?! Let's start with that possessive crap you just pulled!" Kagome sighed and tried to compose herself, offering her hand to Inuyasha. "Why are you always so rude to Sesshoumaru? And why the hell did you call me a wench?"

"You are one. And why should I be courteous to him, when to him all I am is a rotten hanyou."

"I'm beginning to agree with him on that point."

"He hates humans too you know." Inuyasha's face held a smug smile.

"I'm no ordinary human if you didn't notice. " Kagome countered, with her own smile. "Lets go, Sango and Miroku are waiting for us, Shippou too."

They walked the rest of the short way, both anxious to break the awkward silence between then, neither willing to do it. The leaves crackled underneath their feet, and the wind rustled the leaves of the trees. In the distance they heard a shriek and they both began to run.

"HENTAI!" They heard and both chuckled.

"Miroku are you ever going to learn?" Kagome asked, slowing her pace and settling beside Sango. The monk just bowed his head.

"Well you see, it's this arm, you know, it just moves on its own sometimes…." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Where is Shippou?" Kagome questioned and they all began to search.

"I'm here mom!" They all heard a shout from above them, and immediately looked up.

Shippou was up on a tree branch, sitting and swinging his legs merrily over the side. Kagome rubbed her forehead, this was too much for once day, she was going to go crazy. She looked up at him a second time to see he was holding something strange in his hand.

"Shippou, come down here. What is that you are holding?" Kagome yelled up to the kitsune, who immediately jumped to the ground.

He held out an odd looking necklace. On it were silver beads and gold beads alternating, but the gold ones looked like eyes. There was one fang, or at least, it looked like a fang, and a single feather… Kagome was intrigued by it, for it was both beautiful and mysterious.

"Where did you get that?" Inuyasha asked, snatching it out of Kagome's hands, Kagome just let his rudeness slide.

"I found it, walking in the forest. It was laid out on a rock…"

"Maybe somebody left it on accident." Sango put in.

"Here" Inuyasha threw it back at Kagome "It's weird, you can wear it."

"But we don't know whose it is, the right thing is to go and put it back and hope the owner isn't angry." The monk, Miroku, stated plainly.

"And if someone else takes it?" Kagome asked, and realized the stupidity of her question. "Right, it wouldn't be our problem. I say we keep it… For some reason, this thing just begs me to wear it…"

"Lord Sesshoumaru, what are we doing?" Rin whispered, tugging on the daiyoukai's hakama. The great lord simply shushed her and watched the scene unfold before him

He had left the necklace on purpose, as a way of tracking and tending to the miko. The fang was his own at one point, and was the source of the connection with whoever the wearer was. Kagome put the necklace on, and placed it gently under the ridiculous clothing she wears.

"Let's go." Sesshoumaru held Rin's hand and began walking in the direction of his castle.
