Chapter 8

'Must find her. I must find Kikyo,' the distorted Half-breed sat in a tree trying figure out who he needed to find. Kikyo was the only thing he could remember, 'She must be the one.'

His ears perked up as he heard a rustling in the bushes. A young Fawn tumbled out. He leaped down from the tree, "IORN REAVER SOUL STEALER!"

Kagome sat at a desk that had just been brought in her room. She was thinking about the dream she had a few weeks earlier, 'Maybe it was a warning, or what's going to happen if I ask.' She was in a state of confusion. She did want to go back home but InuYasha wasn't there. ' But what about Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Keade? But I did promise Rin I'd stay. Well she promised for me so I didn't technically promise myself. But what about Senkaia? She doesn't really have any friends here.'

She got up from the desk and laid on her futon and looked at the Screen door waiting for someone to come out. Just then InuYasha came out, smiling at her and telling her something, what Kagome didn't understand.

" Oh InuYasha, I Love you. Tell me not to move on, or forget," She looked at the InuYasha she had made up. He had kinder violet eyes, a gentler smile but the same hardness that made her love him.

"Kagome, I loved you all along. But you do need to move on," He leaned in to kiss her but then the black haired boy disappeared.

She blinked a few times not believing it. 'Never Forget.'

Knock Knock

" Yes," her voice quivered and her body shook.

Sesshomaru opened the door, came in and shut it. " I have the Tetsusaiga."

" So?"

He went over to her and pulled her up by her arm, " what are you doing let me go!"

"You will never ever speak to me like that understand?" his words held no threat. He didn't really care but, he was a lord and that's not how they should be spoken to.

" I'm sorry," Her eyes started tearing up.

He looked down at her this was really the first time he got a good look at her. She was petite only 5"4maybe 120 pounds at the most. He himself stood 8 inches taller and 40 pounds heavier.

" Your not going to cry are you?" He found this creature somewhat fascinating.

" I don't know," She found it hard to look him in the eyes. She saw so much beauty. He looked like glass, at any moment he could break. He looked so perfect. He was a glass angel. She felt something stir inside of her. It was as if he were a puzzle and it was her fate to solve it.

" How does InuYasha use it?" he looked at her. For a moment he forgot it and used it as an excuse to talk.

" He uses it to protect me."

"Don't you mean used to."

He looked over at her. She looked so beautiful sleeping, "Beautiful Sango, You have made me the happiest man on the earth."

In the three weeks that Kagome had been gone their relationship had grown tremendously. Partially because Sango needed something to preoccupy her time with, and also she couldn't deny her feelings for him any longer. Last night they had just made the last step.

Miroku went out side to get some fresh morning air and to pay tribute to his fallen friend. Usually InuYasha's sword would have been there and Miroku would pray that he find his soul, nut not today. Today it was gone. "Who would do such a terrible dishonorable thing?"

"Miroku-kun, is there something wrong?" Sango spoke softly, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

" He took it," He went back into the hut grabbing everything he needed for the journey.

" Took what? Who?" She followed him in standing at the door worried.

" I'm almost positive Sesshomaru took the Tetsusaiga. I must go," He went over to her and kissed her on the forehead.

" But what about Kagome? We need to find her."

" I Have a pretty good idea where she is," He looked away from Sango.

" Tell me she's not with him," Sango was starting to get angry, " How long have you known?"

" Three weeks."

" THREE WEEKS! You idiot you've known where she is and you never told me," She was on the edge of killing him. Quickly she got her stuff together, "Well if your going I'm going too. Come Kirara," Her voice woke up The demon cat. She left the hut and went to the heart of the village where Shippo Stayed in a hut with an old couple.

She knocked and the old man came out.

" Good morning Young Lady," he said with a smile on his face

" Good morning to you too," he gave a quick little bow, " I'm going to need to take back Shippo," She smiled a fake smile as he went in the hut and came out with Shippo, " We're leaving to find Kagome."

Kagome was left stunned at Sesshomaru's words, "How could you say something like that?"

" He's Dead he can't protect you," His words hurt her, "You haven't accepted that, have you?"

" I Have but…" she couldn't finish. She started to break out in tears. Just then Sesshomaru did something. He hugged her.

"We've all lost someone close to us, we just need to keep them tucked away in our memories and move on."
