"Sesshomaru" Inuyasha hissed through gritted teeth.

"Good to see you Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said with a smirk.

Inuyasha just let out a low growl keeping his teeth tightly clenched.

"What are you doing here?" he hissed

"I noticed a strange demonic aura in the area and came to check it out."

"So you did this then?" Inuyasha snarled.

"No, the village was already ablaze when I got here."

"So round two then?"

"I don't think so Inuyasha. I have no desire to pummel you into oblivion yet again." He said with a sinister smirk on his face."

"This time will be different. This time I will wipe the floor with you!"

"No you won't and I am not going to give you the chance. I came here to investigate the aura not to fight with you, so goodbye."

"Wait! Where are you going? Don't you walk away from me!"

Just as inuyasha was about to go after sesshomaru he saw something in the sky. At first he had no idea who or what it was but then he realized it was kirrara with kagome, Miroku and sango on her back. Shippo was clinging onto her tail for dear life. He tried to wave to them to tell them not to land it wasn't safe a lot of the village was still on fire and the smoke would make it impossible for them to breathe. But he couldn't get them to acknowledge him. "Probably cause of the all the smoke." He muttered and ceased trying to get their attention.

Actually they had been able to him despite the smoke. Kagome saw him waving first and tried to signal back to him that they saw him and were looking for a safe place to land. But she couldn't tell if he had acknowledged her or not. "Probably cause of all that smoke." She muttered. So she told miroku and sango to keep looking for a place to land anyway.

Eventually they landed on the roof of a hut right in front of where Inuyasha was standing. In fact he hadn't moved an inch since he stopped signaling them. The group had been separated for a while now and although no one said anything you could tell that they were all very happy to see each other again. Kagome wanted to run to inuyasha and throw her arms around him and kiss him and tell him how much she missed him, how worried she was about him, and how much she loved him.

But she did none of these things she just sat there on kirara calm and composed while miroku and sango explained to Inuyasha how they had managed to find the village and him. Inuyasha hadn't really stopped looking at kagome since they landed on the roof. Oh he acted like he didn't care and that he was intently listening to what miroku and sango were saying. But the truth was he hadn't heard a word they were saying. He couldn't stop staring at kagome. He still couldn't believe how he had acted towards her earlier. He wouldn't blame her if she was still mad at him. Which he assumed she was. The truth was all he wanted to do was lift her off of kirara tell her how sorry he was and kiss her passionately. But instead he just stood there pretending to listen and to sango and care about what she was saying.

"Well shall we get going then? Asked miroku.

"Um…, Well um… actually there was something I wanted to show kagome in the village real quick." Inuyasha said.

"What could you possibly want to show kagome in this village?" "It's all burnt down and destroyed there's no reason for us too…"

Just then sango kicked him hard.

"OW!" What was that for?"

Sango gave miroku such a look that he shut up immediately.

"Come on kagome it's right over here."

Kagome gave sango a "what should I do?" look.

But sango just shrugged.

"Alright" kagome said.

Inuyasha took her by the hand and led her a few yards away behind a shed where there was a good view of the lake.

"Alright, what do you want inuyasha?"

"I'm sorry about my attitude before."

"Which part, the screaming, yelling or humiliation?" "Or maybe you're apologizing for the just being-a-jackass-in-general?"

"Ok I get it your mad."

"Mad? Mad?" "No I'm more than mad I'm pissed off!"

"Ok, Ok whatever geez." "Look I just brought you over here to say that I'm sorry about my attitude before and that's all." "I'm not going to say it again." "If you don't want to accept it that's fine I've done all I can do.

" Kagome was shocked she hadn't expected this.

Inuyasha turned and began to walk away. "Wait! Inuyasha!" "I'm sorry I accept your apology." "Can we go back to the way we were before?"

"That's all I wanted in the first place." Inuyasha said and smiled as he put his arm around kagome.

"You really hurt me when you screamed at me like that."
"I told you before I won't stand for that kind of treatment."

"I know I know." "It won't happen again."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

They soon rejoined the group. "shall we be going then?" asked miroku.

"And exactly where would we be going miroku we still don't' know.

"We could just follow Sesshomaru." Inuyasha suggested.

"Sesshomaru, he-he was here?" The others all exclaimed stunned.

"Yah he came to investigate the aura as well." They all stood with dumbfounded looks on their faces.

"Will you stop looking at me like that!" Inuyasha barked. "We need to get going!" "His trail leads that way."

" Alright then lead the way Inuyasha!" Sango said

They all began walking off in the general direction of Sesshomaru's trail not sure what they were going to find along the way.
