Miroku was sitting in the lip of the well when he suddenly stood. Sango noticed and joined him.
Sesshomaru gracefully came into view, now calmer. Jaken stayed feet behind him, knowing his master was not happy with him at the moment.
Miroku cleared his throat, "Lord Sesshomaru,"
"I presume the Miko is on the other side?" He asked coming to a stop,
"She is," Sango answered,
"We all thought it best," Miroku told him,
"Hn," Sesshomaru looked away and then ran a clawed hand through his hair, "It needs a barrier,"
"I can try but her power is stronger than mine," Miroku told him,
Sesshomaru eyed him,
"Right ill put one up before nightfall,"
"Did Inuyasha find you?" Sango asked making the demon Lord look at her,
"He came and left quickly," Miroku added, "We assumed he went looking for you,"
"His threats mean little to me," He said turning around to leave.
Miroku and Sango looked at each other and then turned back to the well,
"I hope this is the right thing to do," Miroku stated,
"Kagome did say there were no demons in her time,"
Sesshomaru paused, they noticed and looked back at him.
"What?" Miroku asked,
It was impossible for him; were there no demons? None at all? His brother's words came back to him. Distance would be no issue, time would be a little harder and while he was confident the well would be no match if either truly desired it, he was not confident in the gray area around time. He narrowed his eyes, "You can not travel to her?" He suddenly asked,
"No one has been able to go through it but your brother that we know of," Miroku told him,
"I will find Inuyasha, and send him to her,"
"Why?" Sango asked,
Sesshomaru turned away, "I do not trust time, nor the place in which it does not exist," Then he vanished. It took him no time to find his brother, all he had to do was search for the scent of clay, bones, and Inuyasha's blood. It was an awful mix.
"What do you want," Kikyo asked,
"The dead should not speak," Sesshomaru told her,
Inuyasha growled," What do you want,"
"It is more about what you want,"
"Oh yeah and what's that,"
"For Kagome to be protected,"
"She is,"
"Do you truly think that well would stop me,"
Kikyo raised an eyebrow, "You seek her?"
Sesshomaru spared her a sharp glare, "My father and brother may fall to such weakness, I do not,"
"Then why are you here?" Kikyo snapped,
"Inuyasha, keep her silent,"
"Spit it out Sesshomaru," Inuyasha snapped,
"Sending her back will be of no use, return to her," He turned, done with this conversation already,
"What do you mean by that, shes through the well,"
"As I said, well is no match but it is not the well I am concerned with,"
"I thought you were getting help for your evil bitch mother,"
"She will aid,"
"Then what is the issue,"
"My pain is her pain, or do you wish that for her?"
"Kagome is affected?" Kikyo asked,
"Something like that, she's a Miko," Inuyasha told her. But Kikyo knew better.
"Won't it be dangerous for me to go to her?"
"You are mated are you not?"
Inuyasha turned red in the face and looked slightly away.
"What could he do for her pain?" Kikyo asked,
"Nothing,"
"What, then what the hell Sesshomaru?"
"Someone merely needs to make her, what is it she says to you? Sit?"
Inuyashas ears went flat "You want me to hold her down,"
"Hm."
Inuyasha crossed his arms, "And if I dont?"
"Then she will seek me,"
"Wouldn't she have to get to you,"
"She is a Miko, it is within her power,"
"K, let her, make your ass suffer more, you are so cocky talking about power and not being weak, I dont call being chained down by one's mother strong,"
"Inuyasha," Kikyo warned, poking the angry murder demon was not a good idea.
Sesshomaru was at him and had him by the neck, "Your selfishness knows no bounds, you seek me, make useless threats and yet you would allow her to suffer,"
"You suffer, not her," Inuyasha struggled against his brother's hold. Sesshomaru tightened his hold and brought him close "My pain, is her pain," Then he tossed his brother to the ground and glared at the woman, "Make sure he goes,"
Then he vanished.
Inuyasha rubbed his throat, "I dont care what he says, he ain't fighting shit,"
Kikyo looked at him, "He isn't, but he is trying to protect her,"
"Her or himself?"
"Both Inuyasha,"
"He ain't protecting shit,"
"By sending you to protect her he is protecting her,"
"Aw man dont make it sound like he cares!"
"Hate it if you will Inuyasha, but the blood moon tells no lie, he cares, and we must go or do you wish for her to be taken by him,"
His ears when flat again, he grumbled something about never hearing that out of her mouth again, but grabbed her hand and made his way to the well.
