"He's near," The calm sexy voice of the full blooded demon decedent of Inutaishō said looking down from the cliff he was on. Sesshomaru was still on the move after Naraku and it always seemed that he was crossing paths with his pathetic half brother at some point. All though it made perfect sense considering they were both after the same person.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at the camp fire below. His brother wasted times traveling with humans, a perfect sign of weakness to the half human heart he possessed. He left himself open with those humans, he didn't have the power to protect the three of them, and that just left him open to vulnerability.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin shouted running up alongside him and looked down upon the over view of the land.

Rin was a different case to Sesshomaru. He had Ah-Un to carry her through the night when she needed rest. She didn't mind scavenging for her food to eat along the way. And he had enough power to protect her, the only reason she was kidnapped was because he left her in Jaken's care for a while.

"Go back and stay with Jaken, Rin." He ordered her making his way down the mountain. "I have business to attend to."

Rin watched curiously as her Lord disappeared within the blink of an eye. She smiled and waved him off, even if he wasn't paying her any attention, and turned back to do as she was told.


Inuyasha lifted his head to the night sky and took a good sniff of the scent that blew in the breeze. Kagome, who was gathering firewood along with Inuyasha, looked up at him confusingly.

"What is i-" Inuyasha hushed her while his ear twitched as the sound of all the trees behind Kagome were sliced in half. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion, Kagome turned to look what made the noise of wood slicing and screamed in fear.

Faster than usual, Inuyasha tacked Kagome away from the falling tree tops to safety and stood up immediately to look for the threat.

"I was right that time," A familiar voice said from the shadows as a whip of light sliced through one of the fallen tree parts to cut it in half as Sesshomaru walked through with a smirk on his face. "You move faster when that girl is in trouble."

"What the fuck is the reason for you needing to attack in the middle of the night!" Inuyasha yelled gripping the hilt of his sword.

He thought he sensed a different aura around the weak hanyou. The aura of him wanting the urge to mate.

"Your aura's changed," Sesshomaru pointed out. This caught his brother's attention who looked rather stupidly confused.

"What?"

"Fool, you can't even tell that you've changed." His gave turned to Kagome who stiffened by the cold stare. "Could it be your feelings for this girl have changed?"

Inuyasha blocked Sesshomaru's look to Kagome. "My feelings towards Kagome are none of your business, but none of my feelings have changed for her." Sesshomaru for once didn't look like he was going to attack and was only looking from Inuyasha to Kagome. He noticed how every time he moved his gaze, Inuyasha followed. He was going to move to block him either way if he moved towards the girl.

Sesshomaru held out his hand as it began to glow as he struck his light whip in the direction of the girl. Before it could strike the ground just by her feet, Inuyasha had her in his arms and leapt away. Setting her down on her own feet, he stood in-front of her. Sesshomaru changed the direction of his whip to barely a small branch hanging off a tree that was above the two, that wouldn't cause her that much harm. Yet Inuyasha still moved her away from even a small type of harm.

His eyes narrowed. Sesshomaru recognized these familiar signs. They were the same as he remembered hundreds of years ago when Inutaishō told him he was going to claim a human princess as his mate, after of course she had given birth. The last night he saw his father, he had the same look as Inuyasha had in his eyes. A look saying how he had something to protect, they went along perfectly with the last words his father had given him.

It was clear that both of these intentions were the same, meaning….Sesshomaru looked at Kagome looking her over. Inuyasha had intentions of mating with this young girl. She was a priestess, the worst kind of human to ever choose to mate with. A complete insult to demons; and an even bigger insult to their father's blood. The question Sesshomaru had, was would he allow this?

"What of the priestess you were infatuated with fifty years ago?"

"She is of no importance, except to put her soul to rest." Inuyasha said.

"You can at least tell the difference between the living and the dead." Sesshomaru said. "Even if you still chose a priestess." A type of glint on Inuyasha caught his keen eye. "But of course you can only be this remotely intelligent while you're under a spell. How weak of you Inuyasha," He said walking off.

"Wait! You're not going to even try for the Tetsusaiga? Now who's the weak one?" Inuyasha scoffed to receive an angry glance from Sesshomaru, as his whip flashed and knocked Inuyasha about another ten feet back.

"Don't mistake that I am no longer after the Tetsusaiga or to see to our father's blood stop flowing through you." He said walking off without looking back. Kagome immediately rushed to Inuyasha's side and helped him up. But Inuyasha looked after the direction his brother went. Thinking how that was the nearest thing to the nicest encounter he had with his brother, even if what he was saying was a lot of confusing bullshit.

"Are you going to be okay?" Kagome asked worriedly. Inuyasha turned his gaze to her and his gaze softened.

"I'll be fine, but you're hurt." He said sitting up and lifting up her bangs to where there was a cut on her forehead.

"I didn't even notice I got hurt." Kagome said confused looking up at the cut which was unseen to her.

"A sharp wood chip must have hit you. When that bastard had to make an entrance by cutting off nearly half the forest."

"You're over exaggerating," Kagome shook her head. "I doubt he would slice even half the forest."

"He could Kagome, never underestimate, even if it is with Sesshomaru. No matter how many times I beat him, I have one thing he hasn't got."

"What?" Inuyasha's lips pressed over the cut on her forehead. Kagome was still unaware of what Inuyasha meant but wrapped her arms around his neck to stay closer to him.

I have someone to protect. I've always had ever since you came into my life. Protecting you makes me stronger. Inuyasha thought pulling his lips off her forehead and moved down to her own lips. I'll always protect you, no matter from what. Inuyasha's nose caught another familiar presence when he looked behind Kagome he saw Shikigami floating around trying to get his attention and leading away deeper into the forest.

Kikyou was near. Inuyasha however ignored them and went back to deepening his kiss with Kagome. Playing with her hair and biting her lip wanting entrance inside. Kagome smiled against his lips but was trying her hardest not to give in.

She even pulled apart as of to try avoid giving in, and the two were laughing lightly. But Inuyasha wasn't giving up yet, and wrapping in arm around her back, he pushed her into him to meet his lips once again. He was nibbling lightly on her lip, and Kagome was trying to pull away wanting to give in especially with his fangs biting her lip for entrance.

Kagome suddenly pushed herself atop Inuyasha, pushing him back for her to be on top. After having that victory, Kagome complied and opened her mouth. As the two commenced on declaring tongue war, forgetting that they needed to bring back some more firewood for the rest of the gang.


As Sesshomaru passed through the trees he stopped from moving forward as a Shikigami floated past him towards behind a tree, where there was a light glow of light.

"So he's ignoring you." Sesshomaru said. "I would recommend if you want to see him, you go him yourself. He's obviously tired of chasing after you and ready to be with someone who's always there with him. Already he has the urge to mate with the girl you hate." Sesshomaru continued walking his way back to where Rin and Jaken's came were as the familiar shell of the young priestess from long ago came out from behind a tree, with a blank expression on her face.

Alright, another short chapter, yeah I suck, but I just didn't know how to really go on with this. I promise the next few chapters will be longer because we have drama, and action, and more drama, and guess what? More mushy stuff! I'll probably update Sunday, it depends because I'm drawing from a hat on which stories I should update. So tell me how you think of this Sesshomaru chapter, I don't know if I did any SesshyXRin bashing by Inuyasha saying Sesshomaru doesn't have anyone to protect, but that's what Inuyasha thinks! He doesn't even pay any attention to Rin until the Final Act, no one does except Kagome really.

But still tell me how I did, Chow!
