"Thanks Hojo, I had a great time." I lied. It wasn't the date that I didn't like, any girl would have loved the date. I just couldn't stop thinking about, well, you know who.

"I'm glad you called me, Kagome. I was starting to worry for a second." We were standing outside of my house in the cold night sky. I was shivering.

"I should be getting inside, I don't want my mother to start to worry about me." Again, I lied.

"Of course." He smiled giving me an awkward hug.

Inside of the house was just about the same temperature outside. That's weird. "Mother? Souta? Gramps?" I yelled throughout the house. No one was home. "Maybe they just went out." I said to myself switching the switch for the light in the living room. It didn't come on. I tried a few more times, don't ask why. If it didn't work the first time, I doubt it'll work the second or forth. My stomach started to turn. I knew something was wrong.

A hard vibrant thud came from upstairs making me jump and suck in my breath. I stood there for a moment listening. I heard nothing else, but that didn't make me anymore uneasy. I grabbed the closest thing next to me, a coat stand, and slowly walked up the stairs making sure I didn't make any noise. Enclosing the distance between me and the top of the stairs, I began to listen more, trying to focus all of my power in my hearing and visual. I didn't hear or see anything.

Where did it come from? Was probably the best question to ask right now. If I knew where it came from, it would be easier. I stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down the hall. There was nothing. No light, no noise. But something strange indeed. All of the doors were closed, which never happened in this house. Especially Souta's bedroom door. He would leave it wide open while changing. I was starting to think that it was nothing. If it was a robber, then they would have made some more noise, or at least kept a door or two open while stealing something to make it easier to move about. I did yell out to my family though. Maybe that scared them and they hid. Great. My stomach began to quiver again. I took a deep breath and slowly moved towards the bathroom door.

I opened the door slowly, making sure no one was aware I was coming in. The door was opened completely and there was no one in there. Nor anything that looked as if it had fell down. One down, four to go. The rest of the bedrooms look fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. The only one left, the only room left, was my bedroom. Of course. It always has something to do with me. I started shivering more, at first I thought out of fear, but then I noticed the frost on the hallway mirror and the frosted air that I breathed out. I'm not dealing with a robber, aren't I? The aura around in my bedroom was different, demonic. I'm just glad no one is here to get hurt.

The door handle was freezing as I touched it. The sweat on the palms of my hands froze to the door handle while turning it. I was horrified to find what was becoming of my bedroom. The moon light lit the silver spider webs that grew out of my backpack and hang off of my ceiling and walls. My first thought was Naraku. But how? These were in fact the spider webs he uses, but how did he get here? And why didn't I sense him sooner? Or the Jewel shard? There was a ball of webs in the corner of my bedroom that looked as if something was in it. It didn't feel like Naraku. Could it be one of his Minions?

I set the coat stand down knowing it won't do me any good against a demon. I took a step towards the nest, forgetting to breath. I got to the nest and nothing happened. It seemed to be moving a bit, as if it was breathing but nothing else happened. I should go warn Inuyasha.

I ran out of my house, grabbing a coat, and to the Well. You should go home, Kagome, and stay there, it's where you belong. I remembered Sesshomaru's words he spoke to me once I reached the Well. I hesitated for a second before I jumped over the Well and entered the Feudal Era.

"Why did you tell her to go home?! You have no say in this, Sesshomaru!" Sesshomaru heard Inuyasha yell behind him. Kagome had just told Inuyasha not to follow her home this time, saying she will come back on her own terms. It took him a few sit commands but he finally had let her go. He came running back to Sesshomaru with darted eyes and dirt and mud covering his face.

"You look ridicules, Inuyasha."

"Why don't you just go away!? Instead of sending her away? We don't want you here, so just go away!" Inuyasha yelled again unsheathing Tetsusaiga. "Or I'll make you!" At this time Kouga was standing behind Inuyasha, making sure he won't do anything stupid.

"Do you not get it!" Sesshomaru rose his voice this time. "Naraku was after Kagome. He was not after us, he did not want to fight us. He was setting up a trap to get her. I wasn't going to just stand here until we figure out when it's too late what he's planning!"

Inuyasha went silent for a while. "So what do we do now? Just stand here until he attacks us?" He put Tetsusaiga away and sat down were he stood.

"You should be the one figuring this out, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru simply said, all anger in his voice gone, substituted with something else Inuyasha couldn't figure out.

Sesshomaru stood there while Inuyasha sat there near his feet. The group couldn't help but to picture how incredibly alike they were with their stubbornness.

Kikyo. Inuyahsa thought as her scent reached his nose. Unable to ignore her presence he stood up with a stare from Sesshomaru.

"I'll be back soon." Inuyasha said passing by Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru put a hand on his brother shoulder, "This isn't the time, Inuyasha." He squeezed Inuyasha shoulder, sending sharp pain through it as his claws entered Inuyasha's shoulder. He ignored the pain though, knowing well that his brother was right. But he couldn't ignore Kikyo. He had to go see her. Brushing off Sesshomaru's painful grip, he walked past the group and into the forest, never giving a thought towards Kagome.

Sesshomaru stood there in disbelief on the move Inuyasha had pulled. He shouldn't be surprised. He's seen this many times before. But this time, unlike all the other times, he felt angered and hate towards Inuyasha. "He will never learn to see who actually gives a care for him." He said to himself turning back around and stared off into the distant space thinking of the only two humans he ever cared about.

-Um. It's a bit short. Sorry. Hopefully next chapter will be longer. Just thought it'd be better for it to be short, than nothing at all x].
