A/N: Apparently not very many of you like my story. Oh well, what i'd like to say to you is not very nice so i'm not going to put it on here. To those of you who do like my story I will continue for you, that and I came with a lot of ideas and it's been bugging me not to write them. I will probably have more review challenges in the future, but I will still continue to write this story despite it all, I just won't update it. Anyways, without further ado...

Sesshomaru stared down at the young miko before him. She looked as though she had just been in a battle with a gale storm and lost. Yet she didn't seem inclined to care so Sesshomaru decided to ignore it.

"I came to ask you some questions miko."

Sesshomaru felt the spike in the miko's aura, but noticed it was weaker than before.

'What is wrong with her?'

'Why do you care? You're only here to get answers right?'

'Get back in your cage.'

'Hai, hai.'

"What sort of questions Sessh-Lord Sesshomaru?"

The miko again almost talked to him so casually, but caught herself. It made Sesshomaru wonder how she addresses him when not talking to him directly. Then he remembered she had spoken.

"Why did you leave my brother's group?" Sesshomaru asked getting right to the main question he wanted answered. He watched as the miko took a deep breath before she spoke.

"I left because it caused me pain to be around him. He chose a dead bit-woman over me. I no longer love him, but it still hurt to see him with her. She wishes to drag him to hell with her and is working with Naraku, and yet Inuyasha seems like he doesn't care. So I left. I won't stay where I'm not wanted. Is that all Se-Lord Sesshomaru?"

The miko's slips were starting to get on Sesshomaru's nerves, but he chose to ignore them. At least she still used his honorific.

"Is it true you attacked a human male and cut off his arm for the fun of it?" Sesshomaru asked. He knew she wouldn't have done it for the fun of it, but for some reason he felt like teasing her. He almost smiled when he felt her scent change to a spicy tang when her anger rose.

"I did not do it for the fun of it! I did it because his dumb ass tried to hurt my son. I'll kill anyone, human, hanyou, and youkai alike if they try to hurt my son. I don't care who they are!" She shouted up at him. Sesshomaru had expected her to get up in his face like she usually does when she yelled at someone, but was surprised when she stayed on the ground. He knelt down beside her and looked closely at her.

"W-what are you doing Lord Sesshomaru?" The miko asked. Her spicy scent changed and went to one of nervousness. She was never one to be afraid of him and that made Sesshomaru curious of her when it should have made him upset.

"Hn, it appears you cannot move." Sesshomaru said as he stood back up.

"And? What of it?"

"You should be more careful of how you speak to me. If I were to lose my temper it would be all too easy for me to kill you in the state you are in now." Sesshomaru said in a bored tone.

"Then go ahead and do it!"

Sesshomaru turned to look down at the miko lying before him. Was she serious? Did she just challenge him to kill her?

'This woman is an idiot.'

'Indeed.'

Before Sesshomaru could respond in anyway he smelt the scent of the kitsune coming their way. He had gotten his answers, he had no other reason to stay. He summoned his youkai cloud beneath his feet and rose to the sky.

OoOoOoO

Kagome watched as Sesshomaru left after she challenged him. She had expected some sort of remark or something. The last thing she had expected was for him to just leave like that.

"Okaa-san!"

Kagome turned to see Shippou running towards her.

'So that's why he left so suddenly.'

'Does it matter?'

'I guess not.'

"Hey baby, did you catch anything?"

"No, I wasn't able to." Shippo said sounding a little down.

"That's okay baby. Get some rest, we'll be leaving soon." Kagome said with a smile.

"Okay." Shippo said crawling over to Kagome and curling up next to her side. In no time at all he was fast asleep.

'We will be able to leave right?'

'As long as you accept what you are our body should let us move.'

'It would be easier to believe if you gave me some proof.'

'You want proof? Okay. When those bear youkai were going to kill Shippo and Kilala you got to them before they could though you knew you were too far away to reach them in time. That was your demonic speed helping you out.'

'That was just coincidence.'

'Okay, then explain how you're voice changed when those villagers were attacking you and Shippo.'

'Simple, I was pissed. My voice changed because I was mad.'

Kagome's beast growled before continueing with one that Kagome couldn't deny.

'Fine. How bout how you were able to move so fast that even Shippo couldn't see you cut off the man's arm. You did it quicker than any human could.'

'...'

'That's what I thought.'

'I need to talk to my mom.'

'We'll head back towards Kaede's village in a week's time. For now we'll keep moving. Plus you promised Shippou you'd teach him how to fight.'

'Fine.'

'Rest. We have a long day ahead of us.'

Kagome didn't respond, she just closed her eyes after putting another barrier around her and her son. In no time, she was asleep.

A/N: Short I know, but I hadn't been able to publish this chapter for close to a month because of problems on FF, but now it's all good. I'll try to write another chapter before going to bed at 12:00, but no promises. I'm tired and getting sleepy. Please read and review. Please and thankyou.
