A/N: Well, I certainly wasn't planning to update again this soon, but I received a rather hurtful review from a Smkdn, and I couldn't even defend myself because they weren't logged in. Anyway, I'd like to apologize to everyone because I apparently plagiarized this whole story from Bride of the Water God and decided to just throw the Inuyasha characters in for fun. Maybe if Smkdn had read past the eleventh chapter, they would've liked the story more. So, sorry my story is so unoriginal, sorry Sess and Kagome are so OOC, and sorry Yun Mi-Kyung for wanting more people to know about your awesome manhwa. And thank you Smkdn, if you see this, for making me feel like shit.

To everyone else, please enjoy this new chapter!

Kagome's POV

oooooOooooo

Chapter Thirty-Two: Disbelief

oooooOooooo

On the surface, Sesshoumaru appeared as he always did. Breathtaking.

Dressed in the royal blue that I loved, he was looking especially . . . regal, this afternoon. His silvery-white hair was held tightly away from his face and heavily adorned. It made his appearance severe, cold, albeit still otherworldly beautiful.

And his eyes . . . they were drawn, revealing nothing. There was no warmth, no light, in his gaze. I'd never seen him look so . . . sinister, in all my time with him.

It was bone-chillingly eerie.

"Quickly, Kagome," he suddenly commanded, and I jerked at the sound of his voice. "I've no wish to be here any longer than necessary."

Ignoring the gooseflesh running along my arms from the dead tone to his voice, I hastened after him. "Why has your father not come to meet us?" I asked softly. "Surely he should know that we are in his territory."

Sesshoumaru came to a sudden halt, and I plowed roughly into his back. "Oh!" Scowling, I caressed my abused forehead. "Some warning, next time, would be appreciated," I murmured harshly, feeling my patience with his new attitude slipping. "Walking into you is like walking into stone."

Moments passed and I received no reply. As my temper started to get the better of me, I stepped from behind Sesshoumaru with my arms tightly crossed. "What has you so distrac−"

Oh.

Startled to a standstill, I instinctively grasped for Sesshoumaru and felt his arm twist around me protectively. This was not what I had been expecting.

Across the small clearing, caught in a fierce battle of wills with Izanagi, stood the one god I would've been happy to never see again, and his name escaped my lips before I could stop myself.

"Kagutsuchi."

oooooOooooo

A/N: Reviews would be appreciated :)
