Sesshomaru was sleeping peacefully when he was awakened by a loud crash. He looked around the room trying to figure out what the noise had been when he heard his guards yelling as they were being slaughtered. Sesshomaru grabbed his swords and was heading to the grounds when he ran into kagome who had apparently also been awakened by the fighting. "Kagome stay in the palace I don't want you to get hurt." Sesshomaru looked at her while he said this he knew she would object and if she did he would have to let her help. "I am perfectly capable of helping Sesshomaru as you well know while I traveled with Inuyasha we fought many demons." Sesshomaru nodded and let her come with him out to the grounds where they saw who was attacking the palace.
Inuyasha and the others had assumed Kagome had gone back through the well like she always did when Inuyasha upset her, but after a few days had passed and she hadn't returned they started to worry. Inuyasha had gone through the well to bring her back but when he got to her home her mother informed him that she had not been there. When Inuyasha told Sango and Miroku this they were all very worried, they set out to find her searching everywhere. When they came to the western lands Inuyasha caught her sent and knew who had her. They headed for the palace to rescue her unaware that she was perfectly safe and happier than she had been in a long time. They stormed through the gates killing all the guards who tried to stop them. When they finally made it into the courtyard Sesshomaru and Kagome were there to meet them. "What are you doing with Kagome?" Inuyasha was to busy yelling at Sesshomaru to even notice Kagome who had slipped behind the western lord to stay hidden from her friends. "I have done nothing that she has not wanted me to do Inuyasha, I found her unconscious in a clearing with no one around to protect her so I brought her here" Inuyasha of course didn't believe him "bullshit you kidnapped her, she was upset because of me and ran off and you took advantage of the situation." Sango and Miroku just stood there watching as the brothers argued. Sango saw something moving behind Sesshomaru "Inuyasha look there is something behind him" Inuyasha yelled at his brother to move aside and as Sesshomaru did so Kagome was revealed. "Kagome! Are you alright? What has that basterd done to you?" As Inuyasha Attacked her with questions she moved closer to Sesshomaru. When Sesshomaru noticed her come closer to him he slid an arm around her waist to support her. Everyone was shocked as they watched him do this. Sesshomaru caring for someone else especially a human was unthinkable, and yet here he was protecting Kagome. "Kagome you don't have to stay out here, you can return to the palace if you wish." Sesshomaru whispered to her. She simply shook her head and moved as close to him as she could. Inuyasha was dumbfounded then he realized that Sesshomaru must have brainwashed her or put a spell on her "What did you do to her Sesshomaru you must have done something she would never stay with you willingly." Kagome heard this and spoke for the first time in the confrontation "Actually Inuyasha I have stayed here with him willingly he has done nothing to influence me other than to show that he cares which is more than you have ever done Inuyasha. The only reason you kept me around was so I could find the jewel shards for you."Inuyasha and the others were shocked why would Kagome stay here if she didn't have to did Sesshomaru really care about her? "Kagome………I always cared about you how could you think I didn't" Sesshomaru was getting tired of all this talking it was getting them no where and he wanted his brother gone. "Inuyasha maybe if you hadn't chosen that clay pot over Kagome she wouldn't be here with me, you don't care for her so she has stayed here where she is cared for. Kagome do you wish to return to Inuyasha and your friends or will you stay here with me?" Kagome thought for a while and she looked at Sango and Miroku. She didn't want to be with Inuyasha but they were her friends and she might not see them again if she stayed. If she goes with them I'll lose her………Kagome please stay with me I love you.
Kagome had made her choice she walked over to Sango and Miroku. Sesshomaru's heart broke as she walked away he stood there unable to move so he just watched. Kagome hugged Sango and whispered to her "I think I love him, I wont leave so I guess this is goodbye for a while" Sango heard her words and started crying but she was happy for Kagome she deserved a chance to be happy after what Inuyasha did to her. Kagome turned to Miroku and hugged him but pulled away before he had a chance to grope her. "Sango will fill you in Miroku, goodbye." Sesshomaru watched dumbfounded as Kagome returned to his side. "I have something to tell you but it will have to wait until they leave" she whispered to him. "I've made my choice Inuyasha I am staying with Sesshomaru now leave before we have to make you leave" She glared at Inuyasha with a hate no one had seen in her before.
"I'd like to see you try to make me leave and I won't leave without you there are still shards to be found and we can't get them without you." Inuyasha drew his sword and took up a fighting stance. He moved to grab Kagome but Sesshomaru was in front of her before he had a chance. Sesshomaru drew his sword and slashed at Inuyasha. The fight was on everyone watched as they attacked each other viciously. Sesshomaru had gotten distracted for a moment and that was all Inuyasha needed Kagome saw as Inuyasha's blade began to come down on Sesshomaru in a fatal blow. A bright pink light began to surround her distracting Inuyasha and saving Sesshomaru. The light overtook her body and she collapsed as she did the light shot straight for Inuyasha and hit him full force sending him flying over the palace wall and into the forest. Sango and Miroku stayed long enough to be sure Kagome was in good hands before leaving to find Inuyasha.
