a/n: Wohoo! I got my first review saying that they saw the similarities between Swords of an Honorable ruler and my first two chapters! Yes! I was hoping that someone would notic that I structured the whole first two chapters around the movie with only slight differences except for Sango fighting back. :D I didn't want to say anything so I was waiting until someone noticed and someone finally did! I thought that the irony would be quite fitting considering that at the time Sesshomaru thought his father a fool for rushing to a human woman who was bearing his half demon child and that's exactly what happened in chappies one and two. HEHE! Anyways, if you didn't notice then go watch the movie and then read the first two chapters again. You'll notice it for sure now! ...Newayz, on the the story!!! Oh ya, it's kinda limey but not really. Still T rated. :D

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

Disclaimer: I wanna own Inuyasha but I don't. So there.


Chapter 6- The Brewing Desire

Kagome was completely hysterical. Nothing anyone could do helped her current emotional status in the slightest. Even Inuyasha's efforts were in vain.

"She can't remember! Everything! You, me, Miroku, even Kohaku! How can she not remember her brother? She loved her brother so much that she named her baby after him when he died! How can she not remember?!"

"Calm down Kagome. We'll find some way to fix this, I promise." Inuyasha said in yet another attempt to calm his distraught mate.

"How Inuyasha? I don't even know where to begin. I've never dealt with anything like this before. Kohaku is the only person I've ever known who's suffered from memory loss and that was because of Naraku. How am I supposed to help her when I don't know what happened in the first place?" Kagome cried with tears still coursing down her face.

Inuyasha sighed. Kagome was right and as much as he wanted to reassure her he knew that he couldn't tell her anything that she didn't already know. All he could do was hold her and try to let her know that everything would turn out all right in the end.

Sesshomaru had stayed with Sango until she had fallen asleep and then fled to the woods to release some of his pent up rage, likely annihilating half of the forest. He hadn't been gone long before Kagome's thin mask of calm had broken down and she had sobbed brokenly into Inuyasha's shoulder.

Neither had seen Sango since she had told Sesshomaru that she didn't know them. Kagome had pulled an incredibly fake smile onto her face and told her that it was ok, that they would figure out what had happened to her, and not to worry.


Sango, of course, had no idea what they were talking about at all. She guessed that she must know them somehow because they had called her by name. She had asked Sesshomaru but he had just stared at her with a shocked look on his face. The tiny dark haired priestess that she thought was named Kagome had smiled at her, quite obviously a fake smile, and told her that everything would be all right and they'd help her.

'What was that crazy woman talking about? I am in perfect health,' Sango thought, 'I just wish Sesshomaru would let me take care of Kohaku. I don't need anymore rest.'

Bored, she sat on the mat in the middle of the floor and cast her eyes around the room of the hut that she was "resting" in. The small room had two shelves on three of the four walls, the only one that didn't hold shelves was the entrance, and each shelve held numerous colorful bottles that contained all kinds of herbal potions and remedies. The only other objects in the room were her and Sesshomaru's few possessions and the mat she was sitting upon.

Speaking of Sesshomaru, Sango began to wonder where he had gone. She assumed that he had probably waited until she had fallen asleep before he left to see to his own problems. He always did that. Neglecting his own needs to care for hers and only leaving her side when she was asleep.

'Ugh. That man… er, demon. He needs to worry more about his self and less about my needs. I'm not even hurt.' She complained to herself.

By now she could hear the priestess woman outside her tent arguing with Sesshomaru's half demon brother. She couldn't make out what they were saying but she decided that now would be the perfect time to sneak out. Quietly standing, she approached the door and peeked out from behind the flap. Seeing that the couple had their backs turned and were currently embracing she made a mad dash for the next closest object that just so happened to be the edge of the forest.

"Now," she said aloud to herself, "that's better."

Enjoying her little excursion she decided to walk around the woods for a bit and see if she could find a small stream to wash her face off in. She walked for a little while before finally finding a small stream that would suit her needs perfectly. Kneeling next to the clear blue water, she gathered some in her hands before splashing it onto her face.

She was unaware, however, of the demonic presence that had been following her since she had first entered the woods. With her memories gone all the training she had learned had been lost in one fell swoop and it wasn't until the demon was nearly upon her that her instincts took over where her mind was lacking.

As the demon lunged for her she turned quickly and reached for the katana that was not at her side. Her momentum sent her tumbling backwards into the stream with a scream and made her the perfect target for the weak demon. The demon, however, never got the chance to become a real danger for Sesshomaru materialized out of the green foliage and slashed the demon in half with his claws and a snarl. There was no way that some low class demon was going to take his mate from him.

He turned to see Sango sitting waist deep in the stream completely soaked to the bone with a surprised look on her face. Her hair was plastered to her head and the length that reached the water swirled around her like a watery halo. Her appearance would have made even the most cold-hearted killer laugh, but he didn't, because he's Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru! Um… How did you find me?" she asked, trying desperately to divert his attention from the danger that he'd just saved her from.

"What are you doing out here Sango? I told you to stay in the old priestess' hut and rest," Sesshomaru questioned, completely ignoring the fact that Sango had spoken at all.

Moving forward he pulled her from the river and made sure she could stand on her own before stepping back to await her answer.

"Well I got bored and I couldn't find you so I decided to go for a walk," Sango said while looking at the ground and kicking at some of the pebbles that had somehow accumulated around the stream. Water dripped off her clothes and hair and soon a puddle had formed at her feet to accompany the rocks.

Sesshomaru sighed at her foolish behavior. She hadn't acted this way in quite some time and he had to repress the smile that wanted so badly to grace his face at seeing his mate acting so foolishly. Sango looked up to see a small smile on Sesshomaru's face and heaved a sigh of relief. Maybe she wasn't in trouble after all.

"Come Sango, let's get you dried off," he said as he approached her.

"But I'm all wet Sesshomaru and I would get you soaked too. Plus, I'm perfectly capable of walking on my own," she said with her hands on her hips.

Sesshomaru just smirked before flashing forward and scooping her into his arms in a blindingly smooth motion. Sango let out a surprised scream and laughed as Sesshomaru leaned down to kiss her gently.

"I guess that was worth having to be carried back to the village," Sango said playfully.

Sesshomaru flashed one of his dazzling smiles before leaning down and whispering sensually into her ear.

"Then I'll just have to make it worth your while later tonight won't I?"

Sango's eyes widened dramatically as a wave of desire washed over her entire body. She hadn't been with Sesshomaru in a long time due to the pregnancy. Their intimacy had been put on hold for nine months and now she was soaking wet in his arms and he was the one making the advances. Usually she initiated their activities and it was very rare that he took the first step.

She leaned up and very slowly pressed her lips against his while rubbing her chest against his rock hard body. She felt his body stiffen and he moaned slightly in pleasure.

"Take me away my love," she whispered seductively.

Whatever problems she was supposedly having could wait until later. It was already becoming dark and she planned on devoting the rest of their journey to pleasuring her mate so that he would be fully ready when they arrived at the village.

With an evil grin she began sucking at his neck, trailing kisses along his throat and up to his soft spot that resided just behind his left ear. Another moan escaped his lips followed by a small growl. Sango ceased her administrations to look up at Sesshomaru with a slightly confused expression. He looked down at her with a hunger in his eyes that she hadn't seen in quite a while.

"If you keep doing that we may not make it to the village," he stated in a clipped voice, the desire practically flowing off him in waves.

She laughed and settled herself back in his arms. They were approaching the village and she supposed that she could wait just a few more minutes.
