Hey everyone here we are again and I would like to start out by saying that I may stop posting for a bit but I will continue I just want to get a head again. There are other things getting in the way but There are at least two chapters before I might stop.

Anyway thank you to all those who added me to alerts and favorites, and a special thank you to my only reviewer for this chapter:

lunarcat12: Yes he was but I think that in this interesting case that he's planning behind and if it's not obvious I am going somewhere with the similarities, and I do believe that it's this chapter that someone runs into Kagome.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Chapter 14:

Kikyo returned the next day early in the morning, her aura reeking with the abomination that is Naraku, she looked smug and at the same time very angry. Inuyasha said nothing about her late appearance and he seemed that he ignored anything wrong with her scent or aura; either that or she was trying to mask it from him.

"We should head out now," she said looking only at the half-demon she was unsuccessfully trying to control. His stubborn mind was a blessing and a curse; it made him vulnerable and invincible at the same time. While he refused to notice her being with Naraku he failed to take notice of anything but the jewel and its shards, and she was beginning to doubt he ignored Kagome because of her own life being restored, "The hunt is becoming difficult now. Naraku has a way of finding the shards while we do not, especially with my- with Kagome's death."

Inuyasha didn't say anything; he hadn't said anything all night. He however did stand nod his head once to his old travelling companions before he turned and followed Kikyo who had already walked out of the clearing.

Sango sighed sadly and started packing up her stuff and ignored the look that Miroku had been giving her all morning. The night before had been nice but she'd never let on how grateful and peeved she was at Inuyasha's disruption. Had he not interrupted who knows what might have happened she might have allowed the pervert have his perverted way with her, and that was the exact same reason she was currently pissed at the half-demon.

"Sango," Miroku said and it was the only warning she had before she was crushed against his body, and she should have fought and smacked him around but she didn't and to his pleasant surprise she returned the hug.

They had stayed there for a while their camp left half packed, and they were still in that position when the Lord of the Western Lands walked into the clearing. He looked at the sight in front of him and bit back a growl, humans and their damn emotions, "I can smell Inuyasha and the dead miko," he said calmly and no amusement flashed across his face as his two pack members sprung apart, it didn't show but he was in fact quite amused.

"He dropped by last night," Miroku explained and Sesshomaru was amused to find that the monk was blushing, but not nearly to the same extent as the demon slayer. "Kikyo was with him and we have reason to believe that she's using Inuyasha."

Sesshomaru nodded he could smell the un-dead priestess that reeked of Naraku; however before he could confirm the monk's belief another canine broke into a clearing. Sesshomaru looked on with curiosity as the wolf who looked like a female version of Kouga proceeded to take Miroku's hands and declare him her 'man'. Very odd behaviour from a demoness, and he delicately sniffed the air. The woman was related to Kouga, and thus explained her behaviour.

He recalled Shippo's stories of Kouga proclaiming his love for the miko that was now under his care, and he remembered how Shippo had described the miko's face during each occasion. The monk seemed to be wearing the same look, and the demon slayer looked angrier than Inuyasha.

"Woman," Sesshomaru barked and she turned around about to give a piece of her mind to whoever had decided to interrupt her, until of course she realised it was him, "leave. Now."

"So what brings milord here?" Miroku asked sheepishly as the demon slayer stalked around the camp angrily finishing packing up everything.

"I'm looking for my general," it was also the general 'time to check on pack' day that his beast demanded he do every week, but he wouldn't say that.

Miroku cocked his head slightly, it was unheard of a demon general taking off randomly, "Why did your general take off?"

For once the great lord dropped his mask and the emotion he decided to grace them with was greatly unamused, "she was pack-napped."

Had Miroku not known better he would have assumed that the great lord of the west the, demon that was known for his inability to smile, had just made a joke. He knew better so hid his chuckle easily. Sango however could not conceal her shock, and the demon lord raised an eyebrow at the two.

"You mean kidnapped?" Miroku asked and Sesshomaru nodded.

"By a pack member?" he now nodded at Sango, "What?"

"How?" he glanced at Miroku

"Why?" Back to Sango.

"Who!" back to Miroku again.

He was now a very dizzy doggy and his two humans could tell, "My general was kidnapped by a back member. She was transformed into a small fox familiar, to bond with the miko."

"Miko?" the two asked together and the great lord sighed. 'Humans.'

"Yes." He would have smirked at their exasperated looks, but he didn't and he would never allow anyone to know that he was amused by petty pay back. He would also never admit to the anticipation of informing his pack that their alpha female and friend was back in the past, "Kagome."

Sesshomaru was not disappointed as he watched their reactions. Their mouths dropped open and a strangled sound made its way out of their throats and even more amusement came when the crumpled to the ground from shock. His amusement turned to dismay the moment he realised he now had to wait for them to gain consciousness.

Being the very caring pack leader that he is Sesshomaru moved them into a somewhat more comfortable position so they would be able to continue their journey when they finally woke. He also prevented the monk from losing his hair when his head landed to close to the dying fire, such a caring demon.

It was made day before there was any sign of life from the two bodies on the ground, the demon slayer groaned and curled into a ball before managing to push herself into a seated position. Grasping her head with one hand she scanned the area for whatever had knocked her out, which was when she noted a very bored looking Sesshomaru who's only acknowledgement was a raised eyebrow and as Miroku woke his only acknowledgement was the demon lord cocking his head slightly as he stared at them.

Miroku roughly ran his hands through his hair, until of course he came upon a slightly charred piece, then his eyes widened as he frantically touched and felt his hair. The small smirk on the demon lords face was the only hint as to who had saved him, "So Kagome's back?"

"Correct."

"How do you know?" Sango asked with wide eyes.

"There is a well in my palace," it was all he said and it was all he was going to say, if they needed him to fully explain that she came out of the mentioned well then these humans weren't as intelligent as he had previously thought.

"Is she still at you home?" Miroku asked his scent and aura pulsing with excitement and happiness.

"No she pack-napped my general."

Thus they were back where they had started.

0.0

"We don't talk to attacking demons! They don't talk to us!" She recognised the voice and instantly she was digging in her back pack, there was a cloak in her bag somewhere.

Finding it she threw it on quickly and ignored the curious look Susuki was sending her. She closed her bag and picked up the small fox despite her protests, and then Inuyasha broke through the tree line and into her eye sight. Just behind him was the one person she had hopped she'd never see again, Kikyo.

Kagome stood still waiting for her friend to notice that there was a spectator, and in that time she realised that he was treating Kikyo like he had treated her.

"At least Kagome was never that stupid!" here she bit back a laugh, but it was too late Inuyasha had noticed her. Not her smell or aura since it was masked from everyone, "Who the hell are you!"

"Just a travelling miko."

"Why are you laughing?"

"I remember a girl you had travelled with. You use to yell at her in the same way."

"Well if you knew her then you should know she's dead."

Dead? She wasn't dead and he knew that, unless of course he was stupid enough to think that she would die without him in her life, "Pity. Shall I give you a warning as payment for that information?" He was just kind of staring at her, so she walked forward clutching Susuki closer, "Lies cost lives. Be picky about who you put your trust in."

She wondered how he couldn't see Naraku's aura mixing with Kikyo's faint one, it was a clear indication of them being mates. Inuyasha along with everyone else would be in danger if he didn't realise she wasn't his love anymore.

As she walked away he felt the half-demons eyes following her and Kikyo scoff. Kagome shook her head slightly and Susuki forced her way out of the miko's tight embrace.

"I don't like being hugged,"

"Okay."

"Do you know that half-demon?"

"Why? Are you interested?"

"No. I'll have you know that is-"

"Sesshomaru-sama's half-brother. I know."

"Who are you talking to?" Kagome jumped and turned around to find Inuyasha fairly close to her and looking curiously at her, as if to find some indication she wasn't all there in the head.

Instead of answering Kagome pointed down at her little fox friend, who looked as if she was glaring at the two of them. It wasn't intimidating; in fact since she was stuck in that form for a while it was quite amusing.

"You understand it?"

"I am a her whelp,"

"Yes." Kagome answered smirking at what Susuki had just said.

"What did it just say?"

"She!"

"She said that she is a her not an it, and then called you a whelp."

Inuyasha then glared back at the small fox, "How do you know my ass of a brother?"

Kagome frowned for a moment, "A few chance encounters. He is not that bad."

Inuyasha scoffed as Kikyo walked up beside him, almost immediately Kagome's eyes fell to the still tainted jewel shards that the priestess carried around her neck in a small leather pouch. Kagome smiled before turning and leaving.

"I wonder if he's looking for you?" Kagome said looking down at the fox that had no choice to follow and in doing such she efficiently snubbed her half-demon friend.

"Of course he is! And when he finds you he will not go easy on you!"

"You know you kind of sound like Jaken right now," Kagome said with a chuckle as the small animal looked like she was going to be sick.

"How do you know the half-breed and milord?"

Kagome was slightly startled by the question since they had been traveling in relative silence except for the few snorts that came from the small demon about being compared to the Kappa. This time she decided to answer in Susuki's own language, just in case Inuyasha was still following, "When I first arrived in the feudal era I was being chased by a centipede demon who wanted the Shikon no tama from my body. It had dragged be down a well from my time and into the past. I purified it and when I got out of the well I didn't know I was five hundred years in the past. The God-tree is a landmark in my time and I looked for it, and when I found it I found Inuyasha pinned to it. Long story short the centipede demon came back and I needed someone with experience to defeat it, and despite Inuyasha's constant insults directed my way during the small fight I freed him from the spell. Then he decided that he was going to take his revenge on me since I look like the woman that had trapped him there. He became my protector until I could find my way home, what neither of us had expected though was that I shattered the jewel sending us on the journey to find it and kill of Naraku."

Kagome found herself lost in her thoughts and when she noticed her companion was far from her she stopped and turned back. The little fox had stopped in her tracks and sat down in order to stare in shock properly. Kagome just smiled and picked her up despite the protests about hugging.

"Alright how did you meet Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Well I found out in the future that he had heard of Inuyasha's release and came to find out about it. He was also looking for the entrance into their father's tomb. Anyway he was on the shoulder of this huge demon and attempted to kill us, well me more than Inuyasha. He even tried to melt me when I pulled the sword out, it didn't work though and we had attempted to kill each other a few times. Well I tried to kill him maybe twice and eventually the fights consisted of the brother's fighting."

Once again they found nothing else to say and Kagome happily continued in silence.

"You!" Inuyasha yelled and dropped down in front of the two travellers, Kagome groaned and raised an eyebrow, "Kikyo says you're a dark Miko and a demon whore, my brother's whore!" said miko slid from the half-demon's back.

"Really? Susuki do me a favour. There is a leather pouch around that woman's neck get it and bring it here." She dropped the fox to the ground and glared at her friend, "I am not a whore, unlike someone else in this clearing."

Kagome removed the bow from her back and notched an arrow, she turned to Kikyo and shot an arrow slightly infused with her energy. The arrow hit the woman's shoulder and Susuki jumped for the leather pouch that was in view now.

Inuyasha growled and took his sword from his sheath, but the fang didn't transform. He looked down in fear for a moment before slamming it back into its sheath. Kagome walked forward and chanted a low spell used for immobility; she reached up and touched the beads around his neck and then his sword. He was no longer the swords master but he still needed some seal to keep his demon side at bay.

"The necklace you wear is now what seals your beast. You failed the woman who gave this to you and now I shall take it." Kagome untied the sheath and glanced down at her companion that had the pouch in her mouth, "Perhaps one day you'll get this back but you have a lot of growing up to do."

The spell on Inuyasha would break once she was far enough away not to be tracked, and so she walked away not sparing the half-demon a look. She had her revenge now and she would forgive him for being such an asshole and sealing the well.

End Chapter.
