Sesshomaru was standing alone in his dark room. He bid Rin a good night and now found himself looking out his window at the bright moon. What was he thinking of? Her. Odd...why her? Because she was one to take note of...she was not a normal human or miko for that matter. Something about her caught his attention. She was a human girl from the future, She was smart and she held miko powers...so it was only natural for him to think of her.

Kikyo traveled all night...she would reach him late and hope then they would make it back in time. She walked slow as she always did, her face set hard and her mind in thought.
----
Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku all sat beside Kagome...Inuyasha was on edge which in turn was making everyone else on edge. Inuyasha didn't like this...he wanted Kagome to wake up....but this Lord of the North rubbed him the wrong way...but then again all men trying to kiss Kagome rubbed him the wrong way. Something else was bothering him to.
"Man...where did Kikyo go" They all knew he was talking to himself.
-----------
"What do you want" Came the cold voice of Sesshomaru....he was looking above the tree lines out to the moon. The woman just stood there...they were alike in so many ways. She said nothing...just watched him. In them being alike...she knew. Kikyo turned around....she had traveled all this way..just to look him down. She knew not speaking would get to him...she knew, that he would know what she was thinking. Kikyo began to walk away....she felt him turn around and look at her..so she stopped. She needed to say something...
"You are like your father Sesshomaru....the world does not care if you like it or not" She said not looking at him. Sesshomaru took that as a insult and not at the same time. "You wish to defeat his power...but you already have..for you are still alive and he is not" He was now turned all the way to her "You are now your father...do not be a fool...you have the power you seek" Kikyo turned to him
"Humans did not make him weak...your father choose to die...and he died undefeated...there is no higher power Sesshomaru" Kikyo then turned away...and vanished. Sesshomaru's fist were tight.....she was right.

Inuyasha paced in the moonlight. Sango and Miroku falling asleep on each other. Kikyo made her presents known "Kikyo! where have you been!" Inuyasha asked coming up to her. Kikyo looked to the moon "He will come" Was all she said. Inuyasha looked to the moon to "Who will come Kikyo?"
"Hu..who's coming" Miroku asked rubbing his eyes. Sango waking up to "Lady Kikyo...your back"
Kikyo looked into Inuyashas eyes...and Inuyasha then felt it...his bothers growing aura.."No way" Inuyasha whispered as he backed up from Kikyo. Miroku and Sango came to stand behind him. "Your brother is coming Inuyasha"
Inuyasha eyes were locked on kikyo...that was in till his brother showed himself in the tree line. Now everyone was looking at him..and him looking at them. No one saying a word. Kikyo, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru knowing...and everyone else in the dark. Inuyasha looked at Kikyo before turning and walking away. "Inuyasha?" Miroku called confused "I'll be back in the morning" Inuyasha snapped...he needed space. "She we go after him" Sango asked Miroku...but before he could answer..
"Leave the half breed be" Was all Sesshomaru said...cold and uncaring...but looking to path that his brother took.
