(A/N: Small chapter! It's late, I'm tired but I needed to get this written.)

The small straw doll in front of Sesshomaru burst into flames and quickly smoldered into ash. He leaned forward on his hands, teeth gritted from the pain of his fetch being burned alive while he was psychically linked to it. (And the annoyance of his favorite bike being destroyed.)

Even through the unbearable pain, Sesshomaru had managed to remember what he had heard Shippo and Kirara talking about in the car.

The fox brat thinks can really defeat me? ME?! I am the Lord Sesshomaru, son of the Great Dog Demon, wielder of Tenseiga, Tokijin and the Bakusaiga! The most-

Sesshomaru's thoughts were cut short as his arm vanished and he fell forward, his face smashing into the wood floor. The spell he had placed on Bakusaiga made his arm vanish when it was no longer necessary, not only did this convince his enemies he was a small threat, (something he always enjoyed disproving) but it also gave him the ability to travel amongst them unseen. When they sensed his demonic presence, they were quick to dismiss it since the individual near them had two arms.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken called from outside the room, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Sesshomaru answered curtly, "But I need you to go out and bring the girl here. She isn't safe."

Jaken gulped audibly, if Kagome wasn't safe surely the one chauffeuring her was also in danger.

"Jaken, are you going or must I do everything myself?"

Deciding his fear of Sesshomaru was stronger than any other creature, Jaken put his glamour charm around his neck and left. It took Jaken longer than planned to bring Kagome back, she was afraid and refused to get into the car, in the end Jaken had to use a binding miasma to render her unconscious. When Kagome woke-up, she was in the same room in Sesshomaru's home as she had been when she was recovering from the demon attack.

Sitting up, she saw Sesshomaru sitting on a chair across the room, holding the rib bone with Inuyasha's claw marks in it.

"I suppose you want to know if it's true," Sesshomaru said "if I really did kill that wretched hanyou."

Kagome nodded, her mouth to dry from breathing the miasma to speak.

"I did. In fact this bone you've been carrying around with you is a piece of him."
