Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha even though I want to.

Kagura and Kanna watched from a distance. Kanna with no emotion at all just stared at the four.

"What do you make of the two women, Kanna?" Kagura asked as she glanced at her sister out of the corner of her eye, as she tapped her fan against her hand.

"They are both mikos however the younger of the two has a hidden power. " Kanna spoke with the same unemotional tone. Kaguras' eyes widen. "Neither of the two mikos know about the hidden power."

"Really?" Her gaze was drawn to the young girl. Could those be...No what am I thinking? Then again... Kagura seen the young girl get up and start looking around the camp as if she felt something.

"I think its best that we report to Naraku." Kagura turned her feather then flew away, not knowing that she had been spotted at the last moment.

As the sun came over the horizon, Sesshoumaru had already had hunted for Kagome and Kikyo, as he found out from his brother. Inuyasha kept the fire going and kept an eye on the sleeping girls. When Sesshoumaru had brought back some rabbits he took them and started cleaning. Sesshoumaru went back over and sat down in his spot and leaned his head back. He was about to close his eyes when he heard a whimper from the younger girl. He slid his gaze over to her and noticed that she was clutching the blanket tightly. He leaned forward and sniffed, smelling nothing but fear. He leaned back and continued to watch her.

Kagome didn't know why she was running but all she could do was run. She was scared of what lay in the darkness. She felt as though she was going to die if the darkness caught up to her. Her skin felt hot yet she was cold, as she shivered, wrapping her arms around her middle. She also heard a taunting voice in the darkness. Telling her that no matter where she ran she would never escape her fate. All Kagome could do was run and cry. When she felt that the danger was close she screamed hoping to drive it away. She fell to her knees and cried as the loneliness consumed her.

Kagome bolted straight up from laying flat on her back. Her eyes were wide seeing but not seeing. Sesshoumaru had snapped his eyes open when he smelt the fear grow and the salt of tears mixed. Inuyasha was beside Kikyo on the other side of the bed. Kikyo snapped her head over to her cousin when she caught movement out of the corner of her eye.

Jumping up she slowly went to Kagome's side. "Kagome, its ok." Kikyo spoke to her as if she was a young kid. "Kiki is here." As soon as Kagome heard the name Kiki she snapped out of her trance. She then felt a ominous presence. She tucked her feet under neath her and stood up looking around the camp. Her eyes were narrow, as they searched the woods around them. Her hand stretched out to keep them back, in case something was to happen.

Sesshoumaru watched in awe as Kagome got up and stood in front of them scanning the area with all of her senses. He watched as her eyes narrowed and then her head snapped up. He followed her gaze to see Kagura and Kanna retreating. His eyes then went back to Kagome who was now on her knees.

Kikyo ran to her cousin when she fell to her knees. Kikyo was very surprised by her cousins attitude. Never in Kagome's life had she stood in front of other people as if to lead them. Kagome had always remained in the back, out of the way.

"Kai, are you ok?" Kikyo pleaded as she wrapped her arms around her little cousin, trying to comfort her the only way she knew how.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Kagome told her as she tried to stand on shaky knees. Kikyo helped her over by the fire and got some water and help her take a drink. Sesshoumaru settled back down when he seen that the older miko was looking after the younger one. Sesshoumaru glanced over at his brother who was tending to the food making sure it was done before he gave it to the girls.

Sesshoumaru noticed that Inuyasha was tending to both girls but paying more attention to Kikyo. Sesshoumaru frowned as he took in Kagome's expression. He quickly glanced away when he seen the girls eyes look up. He looked up at the sun to see that if it was late enough to travel back to the Castle. When he seen that it was almost noon he decided that it was time to move. They would be able to get there by tonight, if they left now.

"Inuyasha get ready to head back. We will take the girls back to the Castle then return." Sesshoumaru stood up and brushed his kimono off and the started to walk away from the women and Inuyasha.

Kagome felt her anger rise, How dare he just ignore my cousin and myself, as if we aren't even here! Kagomes eyes narrowed as she stood up, walking towards the back of Sesshoumaru. Kikyo covered her mouth with her hand. She knew that if she said anything Kagome would get mad so she decided to keep her mouth shut. Kikyo glanced over at Inuyasha and felt a rush of heat explode in her cheeks. She quickly turned her attention back at her cousin and her eyes widen in horror and shock.

Kagome had enough of this ice prick. She quietly walked up behind him and poked him in the shoulder. She placed both hands on her hips as she waited til he turned around. She had read the ancient scrolls that no one was suppose to read therefore she knew how he was as well. The Great Dog Demon's son, Lord Sesshoumaru. She quietly waited til he turned around. His eyes were narrowed into little slits. His face wore a mask of no emotion and his eyes showed none. Kagome only knew he was mad at the fact he was gritting his teeth. When Kagome knew she had his attention she straightened her back and looked up at him with the same look he was giving her except she had a smirk on her face.

"What?" Sesshoumaru managed to growl out.

"I want to know where we are before we go anywhere else with you, Lord Sesshoumaru." Kagome crossed her arms over her chest, "I know who you are. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is what year it is because this doesn't look like the time I come from." Sesshoumaru eyes widen a little at what Kagome had said. His eyes narrowed as he recalled an old story that his mother use to tell him about the Fallen Angel and the Angel's Maiden. He tried to remember the tail but it would not come to him.

"Miko, I will tell you everything you want to know once we are safe at my castle. Now lets go." Sesshoumaru didn't wait for her to say anything as he started to walk towards the west. He knew Inuyasha would keep an eye on the girls. Sesshoumaru had other things on his mind at this time. He wanted to get back and find the book that his mother use to read to him from. Then he would have some answers for her, as well as himself.
