Theme 7: Heaven
From her spiritual plane, a sort of paradise she had created for herself to reside in, Lady Inuko watched as her descendent succumbed to his fate.
She had been unable to completely separate Inuyasha's soul from his body, his will to stay and protect his pack was too powerful, instead a part of him had remained, it would take all her strength to keep him from returning to the rest of his soul.
It really was such a pity he was a Hanyou, he would have been perfect. She was most proud of his accomplishments more than she'd been in eons. But a full breed was needed for her plans.
The Miko named Kagome cradled the face of Inuyasha, not knowing that the one whom she held was really Sesshomaru.

"So you really don't know what happened Lady Kaede?"
The group huddle inside the old woman's hut as she placed sutras on the immobile body of Inuyasha and meditated. Coming out of her trance she shook her head "The spell that has been placed on Inuyasha is a powerful one indeed. It is not something that either Naraku, nor my sister can accomplish"
"So it's not them" Said Miroku
"Aye. I have detected a spell on memory, but it is too strong to break. It seems to be one that may be broken though will if one wishes it. But if Inuyasha is how ye told me, I doubt he will have the will enough to do so"
"Yeah, he was really weird" Shipp piped "He was mean to Miroku and he didn't recognise Kagome."
Kagome looked at her hands sadly as she remembered the blank look on Inuyasha's face when he looked at her. "It was like I was inferior to him" he said softly "He's never looked at me like that before, even when we met and he was raving about how much of a pathetic human I was."
"Ye must all wait until he awakes. Whatever placed the spell upon him also drained much of his energy, he will be asleep for a while. Upon awakening, it may be best to guide him and see how much he remembers and how much he does not."
"Yeah, and whether or not he'll still want to hunt Shikon shards" said Miroku.
"Inuyasha not interested in the Shikon jewel, that's not possible" said Sango.
"Hel look" Shippo cried "He's waking up!"
Kagome saw Inuyasha's eyes begin to twitch and slowly open. They were his eyes, warm golden, but the look on them was so cold it made her draw back in shock.

Sesshomaru felt himself awakening yet again to the sight of the Miko girl names Kagome. He now recognised her as the very same mortal who had accompanied his little brother for many of their meetings, the one who pulled Tetsaiga from its hold and had the audacity to shoot revers the Tetsaiga's transformation the last time he had it.
What a shame he was unable to kill her while in the half-breeds body.
He lifted his hands for inspection "Mirror" he croaked, his throat unbelievably dry. He wasn't sure if this weakness he felt was because he was tired or if he was simply adjusting to Inuyasha's weaker half-breed body.
"What?" Kagome puzzled "Oh, um you wanna see your reflection?"
While she puzzled stupidly, the monk poured him a basin of water and handed it to her "Here she said. But you're not injured."
He cared not for injuries, eve this worthless body would have the healing process of a Youkai. But his refection interested him a great deal. As he viewed the sight of silver hair and accursed dog ears upon his head flexed his claws. 'It seems I am indeed within my little brother's body' he thought 'How interesting."
He cast his eyes to the side and settled upon his main interest upon realising he would inhabit the mongrels body.
Tetsaiga.
