Chappie 17 ^^

Kirara continued following Sesshomaru as fast as she could but she was beginning to slow down. "Kirara can't keep this up for much longer" Miroku said. "Inuyasha! We have to stop!" Sango cried. Inuyasha didn't reply but continued following Sesshomaru.

"Why must I follow?" Inuyasha whispered as his stupidness began to kick in. He began running faster and was soon in front of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looked down angrily, and in some freak ego way, the two brothers began to race.

Miroku sighed. "What are they doing?!?!?" Sango cried. "It seems they have no intention of stopping" Miroku said. "Sesshomaru! We HAVE to STOP!" Sango cried again. "You and your cat can stop!" Sesshomaru growled trying to go faster than Inuyasha. "THIS ISN'T A RACE!" Miroku yelled. "Whassa' matter Sesshomaru?!?!?! Can't go faster??!??" Inuyasha cried running forward. Sesshomaru growled, then inwardly smiled as a familiar scent passed his nose.

Suddenly Sesshomaru jerked to the right and began running towards the mountains. "What the?!" Inuyasha yelled, he stopped running and looked back to Sango.

"I'm guessing you've forgotten that we're TRACKING and not RACING!" Sango scolded as Kirara landed tiredly. "Inuyasha, Kirara can't continue, we have to make camp and regain our strength, you seem to have wasted yours as well while trying to surpass Sesshomaru" Miroku observed. "No way in hell am I gonna' let him get to her first! You guys make camp, he's already halfway to the mountains!" Inuyasha cried as he put on a burst of speed following Sesshomaru. "Well, at least he stopped transforming" Sango said sighing.

"Yes, I do hope they get Kagome back safely, Sesshomaru must've picked up on Kagome's scent………but, you know Sango" Miroku said grinning, "This means we'll be alone!" "Stupid, perverted houshi!" Sango yelled, smacking him on the head. Miroku regained his posture, "Really Sango, there's no use. Don't fight it ^^." Sango smacked him again. "Miroku, just find a place to camp!" she yelled carrying Kirara away. "Fine, but you're making the food," Miroku groaned, walking forward in search for a nice place to camp.

"I hope they bring Kagome back safely….without killing each other in the process" Sango said to Kirara as she laid the tiny neko down next to a small lake. Kirara `mewed' lightly while taking a few sips of water. "But you know, Kirara, tonight Miroku is the only one here with us" Sango said turning red.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^

(I thought you guys would like a little bit of Kirara P.O.V. ^^)

Kirara P.O.V.

I knew they liked each other. She's probably going to want me to stay away for the night so they can get together.

End of P.O.V……..back to Sango's talking ^^.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"So tonight," Sango started. Kirara continued listening. "Sleep between me and the houshi okay?" Sango finished. Kirara did an anime fall into the lake. "Kirara!" Sango cried, while helping the neko out. `I guess I was wrong,' Kirara thought, sulking slightly as she followed Sango back into the woods towards Miroku.

:Back to Sessho's castle:

"Lady Rin, the items you requested are waiting outside in the eastern gardens," Tamma said, peeking into Rin's room. "Yay!" Rin cried. "What's the surprise???" Shippo wailed as Rin led him outside. She quickly turned a corner and Shippo gasped at the sight.

`I think I wet my pants' he thought as he gazed onto the piles and piles of coloring items. Rin laughed as she dove into a pile of papers. "Sesshomaru-sama got Rin all the coloring toys!" Rin cried happily. "Within a ten mile radius," Tamma added appearing behind the two children. "C'mon, Shippo-chan! Don't just look! Start drawing!" Rin cried. Shippo ran forward and grabbed a piece of paper and some drawing utensils. `Awesome!' he thought as he began drawing a nice little picture of Kagome and Sesshomaru.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* ^*^*^

: Naraku's castle…….wait! be right back…..I'm hungry…..it's soo hot….maybe sum chips???…Eating…OK OK! Back to the story!:

: Naraku's castle:

( aww man! I'm only on page two?!?!)

`She is beginning to become a nuisance' Naraku thought as Kagome began braiding his hair. `This is actually kinda fun' Kagome thought, `I should try this with Inuyasha's hair…or better yet, Sesshomaru's!'

"That is enough" Naraku said, moving away from her. "I'll will return soon," he said leaving the room. Kagome sighed, and leaned against the wall. `This isn't working as fast as I need it to' she thought. She looked around and found a mirror in a corner. She quickly made her way to it and looked at herself. "Not too shabby" she said, looking at the dress she was wearing.

She put her shoes back on and made her way to the door. "Hmm…..should I?" she pondered. "Er…….Kanna?" she called. The door didn't slide open.

"Yes?" came a whisper behind her. Kagome jumped and turned around slowly. "You scared me. Kanna, could you show me what's going on with Inuyasha and my friends?" Kagome asked hopefully.

Kanna didn't reply but she turned her mirror slightly and slowly but surely a picture began to appear. Kagome edged closer. Sango bopping Miroku in the face began to show. Kagome laughed, as Sango and Kirara double-teamed him and the neko began to pounce on his head. `Wait, where's Inuyasha and Sesshomaru?' Kagome wondered.

The picture changed in a white swirl and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha appeared. They seemed to be climbing rocky mountains…….and arguing at the same time. Kagome watched their mouths (or in Sessho's case, snout) moving but no sound came. "Kanna, does your mirror have sound?" Kagome asked.

"Do you desire sound?" Kanna asked. "Yes…….please" Kagome replied. Instead of sound coming from the mirror, Kanna's mouth began moving. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!? HER SCENT AIN'T HERE!" came Inuyasha's voice from Kanna. Kagome rolled over laughing. "IMPUDENT FOOL, I KNOW THAT SHE'S HERE AROUND THESE MOUNTAINS SOMEWHERE" came Sesshomaru's voice. Kagome began watching the mirror closely as Sesshomaru began leaping from ledge to ledge.

"If only there was some way to reach them" Kagome said aloud. "A spell has no wings, but can travel for miles" Kanna's smooth voice said. "Eh?" Kagome said confused. She continued watching the two inu's. They continued arguing until Sesshomaru finally said, "In this case I would give life itself just to `sit' you this once so that you would stop talking!"

Kagome gasped as she realized what she could do, but would it work when they were so far away? "SIT ME?!?!? OH, AS SOON AS I GET BACK TO KAEDE I'LL GET ONE OF THESE STUPID NECKLACES SO I CAN `SIT' YOU LIKE THE DOG YOU ARE!" Inuyasha yelled, leaping towards Sesshomaru in battle stance.

"SIT BOY!" Kagome cried. Inuyasha's necklace glowed and he flew down to the bottom of the mountain. "WHAT THE HELL?!??!?!" he cried after taking his face out of the dirt. Sesshomaru made his way down. "Did I `sit' you?" Sesshomaru asked curiously. "NO YOU DUMBASS! ONLY KAGOME CAN `SIT' ME!" Inuyasha cried.

"Are you entirely sure? So, if I said the word again, it wouldn't work?" Sesshomaru said sneering. Kagome laughed and continued watching. "TRY IT! IT AIN'T GONNA WORK!" Inuyasha said. "Sit" Sesshomaru said, waiting for his stupid brother to fall back down. "Sit!" Kagome said. Inuyasha slammed down again. "Wha-?" Inuyasha asked confused, "I think you `sat' me."

"Don't be stupid, I'm not the one sitting you. This is one of Kagome's pranks," Sesshomaru stated. "Smart," came Kanna's natural voice. "Ya' STUPID GIT! SHE AIN'T EVEN HERE! HOW THE HELL IS SHE SUPPOSED TO `SIT' ME!??!" Inuyasha cried. "Not as smart" Kanna said again. Kagome laughed.

"This is the only way I can communicate," Kagome said. "Somehow, she's trying to communicate, she can probably see us" Sesshomaru thought. "It would've taken Inuyasha a few hours to figure that out," Kagome said laughing more.

"This will be incredibly embarrassing if I'm wrong," Sesshomaru said. "Okay, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??" Inuyasha yelled at him. "Kagome, hopefully you can hear this. I'm going to ask you a question, if the answer is `no' then `sit' Inuyasha. If the answer is `yes' then `sit' Inuyasha twice" Sesshomaru said. "WHAT THE HELL?!?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Here goes, is Inuyasha more attractive than me or not?" Sesshomaru asked. "YOU BASTARD! ASK HER IF SHE KNOWS WHERE THE HELL SHE IS!" Inuyasha yelled. "I was just kidding, Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said sighing. "OH, HELL NO! I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWER!" Inuyasha yelled.

Kagome sighed. "Sit" she said, unable to believe how idiotic Inuyasha was being. "HA! THAT WAS A NO!" Inuyasha cried. "That means one point for me, idiot," Sesshomaru said, taking his claw and putting one tally mark into the mountain.

"KAGOME LOVES MY DOG EARS! KAGOME! ARE MY EARS CUTER THAN SESSHOMARU'S OR WHAT??!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Are you kidding me?" Kagome asked sighing. They were supposed to be rescuing her, instead they were having some type of game about who she liked better. "This is the last question I'm answering about who's cuter," Kagome said. "Sit….Sit!" Kagome said. "THAT WAS A YES!" Inuyasha yelled taking out his Tetsuaiga and using the wind-scar on another mountain, cutting it in half. "ONE POINT FOR ME!" Inuyasha cried. "Sit…sit….sit!" Kagome cried angrily. "Focus!" she said.

Inuyasha slammed into the ground three times. "I suppose she's getting angry" Sesshomaru said laying down. "WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?!?!" Inuyasha cried pushing his body up from the ground. "Okay, do you know where you are?" Sesshomaru asked. "Sit" Kagome said, happy that they were working together. "Hmm…Are you hurt?" Sesshomaru continued. "Sit" Kagome said. Inuyasha finally decided to just lay flat onto the ground to avoid further injury.

"Do you think you can escape?" Sesshomaru asked. "If you're not sure then `sit' Inuyasha five times" Sesshomaru said. "WHY THE HELL FIVE?!?!?" Inuyasha yelled. "Let's try to make this as enjoyable as possible, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru said smirking.

"ONLY THREE, KAGOME!" Inuyasha said loudly, taking his place back flat on the ground. "Sit….sit…sit" Kagome said smiling. "I see" Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha lifted his head to reveal a bleeding nose. "Are we done yet?" he asked, trying to lift his aching body off the ground. "It would be easier to track you down if I could get more of your scent………..perhaps you could find a way to spend more time outside than inside of wherever you are" Sesshomaru said. "Sit….Sit…," Kagome said.

"She's gonna make up for this big time" Inuyasha scowled, thinking of thousands of Ramen bowls surrounding him. "Like I said before, you must be able to see or hear us in order to answer our questions…….you aren't around these mountains right now, watching us through a window are you?" Sesshomaru asked. "Sit" Kagome said.

"Well, anymore `sits' for the whelp down there and he might lose consciousness, just stay out of trouble until we find you" Sesshomaru said. Kagome nodded happily. "This was quite an interesting conversation, I'll just wait here for your scent" Sesshomaru finished trying to find a comfortable place on the mountain. "I'm going to find you" Inuyasha said, shakily getting up, "No more questions…let's take a break."

Sesshomaru slowly began changing back to his human-appearing form. "No use wasting energy when I'm not tracking" he said looking down at Inuyasha.

"Well, Sesshomaru. That mountain is yours, and this is MINE. YOU don't cross this line" Inuyasha said drawing a line into the ground with the Tetsuaiga and then jumping onto the mountain opposite of Sesshomaru. Kagome rolled her eyes at his antics. "Kanna, could you show me my other friends?" Kagome asked. The mirror shifted from Inuyasha and Sesshomaru to Sango and Miroku. Sango was tying Miroku to a tree.

"Not what I had in mind for our special night….but okay ^^" Miroku said. Sango angrily bopped him on the head and his head lolled to the side. "Pervert, just don't try anything…my Harikotsu (<<boomerang thingy…dunno how to spell it) is right next to me. C'mon Kirara," Sango said laying down on a mat with Kirara.

"Come now Sango……..you're not really going to leave me tied up all night are you?" Miroku said sadly. Sango pretended she was already asleep. "Really, Sango, nobody falls asleep that fast!" Miroku wailed. Sango continued ignoring him. Kagome laughed slightly. She was feeling much better now that she could see all her friends.

"Thanks Kanna, that's all I needed" Kagome said. "Very well" Kanna's smooth voice said as she left the room. Kagome sighed happily, `Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are waiting for my scent……I can't keep them waiting.'

Kagome quickly left the room with new confidence and started down the halls. If she could just find a door or a window to the outside then there would be hope, but she had to move quickly. She continued around corners desperately searching for any signs of the outside. She entered another room and found it to be some type of kitchen. She spotted a long knife and quickly grabbed it and continued forward.

Every time she turned a corner she felt like Naraku would be waiting there, but he never was. `Where did he go anyways,' she thought while going up a flight of stairs. "This place is like a maze," she said to herself taking a right, and then a left.

She slowly began to lose hope of ever finding a way out. She made her way into another room. The room was plain and reminded her of a scientist lab with bottles of different colored liquids on shelves. She examined the bottle slowly but found no labels. `I don't have time for this' she thought. She went into the next room.

She was surprised to find a large bed like Sesshomaru's with chairs and curtains. It couldn't of been Naraku's chambers…..it was too comfortable. She doubted Kagura would get such a fine room, either. Suddenly she saw something that made her heart leap, a window! And she could actually see grass and trees outside. She quickly opened it and looked out.

She was only 15-20 feet off the ground; it was high, but not THAT high. She looked against the walls to see if there was some type of creeper she could use to climb down, but there were none. She looked at the long knife she was holding, maybe she would be able to thrust it into the wall, like a handle.

Suddenly a familiar female voice sounded behind her, "My dear reincarnation." Kagome froze and her heart began to pace faster. `Oh my god' she thought, slowly turning around to find Kikyo watching her. `This is her room,' Kagome thought trying to figure out what to do. In her opinion Kikyo was worse than Kagura and Naraku put together.

Something glittering at the side of her caught Kagome's eye. On the table behind Kikyo were a few jewel shards. It wasn't the jewel piece Kikyo had stolen from her and given to Naraku, but it was still big! "Now, I wonder what you're doing in this castle" Kikyo said. Kagome made sure the knife in her hand was out of sight. "Searching for a way out," Kagome said, determined to leave after she stole the jewel shards.

"This is a great opportunity for me to take back what is mine" Kikyo said, slowly advancing towards Kagome. "In your dreams" Kagome whispered. Kikyo didn't seem to realize that Kagome had spotted the jewel shards on the table far behind her.

"You know Naraku really cares about me in a sick way……if you hurt me, he wouldn't be happy" Kagome said, hoping that would scare the crazy miko off. "Naraku thought he could betray me, but I knew all along about his attraction for you," Kikyo said and continued forward. "Eww….you like him" Kagome said. "Not at all, I'd rather be with Inuyasha in hell like he promised. Although, I've come to realize that you are the reason he's delaying," Kikyo said, "but you might as well know that he's been visiting me lately……behind your back I might say." "I already saw….and it didn't bother me in the least," Kagome lied. "Liar," Kikyo said smiling evily.

`Now's my chance!' Kagome thought. She bounded as fast as she could past Kikyo and grabbed the jewel shards, stuffing them in her dress. Kikyo's eyes widened when she realized what Kagome had been after all along. She blocked the window and waited for Kagome's next move. Kagome's grip on the knife tightened.

`I can't! Inuyasha won't ever forgive me!' Kagome thought backing up slightly. `I have to! Naraku is probably already on his way to this room!'

"I'll take those jewel shards and my soul back now," Kikyo said, her soul stealers appearing. In one swift movement Kagome lunged forward and stabbed Kikyo in the chest. Kikyo let out a scream and Kagome immediately recognized it as the same feminine voice that had come from the imposter-Inuyasha. She pulled the long knife out and bounded for the window as Kikyo fell onto the ground clutching her chest.

Kagome surprisingly dodged the soul stealers, but clumsily tripped on the window ledge and fell onto the ground. Thankfully, she hadn't broken anything but she was sure it would bruise later on. She got up as fast as she could and began running towards the mountains where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were waiting, hopefully.

She looked over her shoulder to see if anyone was chasing her but she saw no one. She continued running but suddenly she stopped dead. It felt like ice water was being poured over her. She looked behind her to see Naraku's fortress……disappearing?

`OF COURSE,' she thought. Naraku had a barrier just like Sesshomaru. She continued forward and the ice-cold feeling left her. "Oh god, please" she said winding around trees hoping Sesshomaru or Inuyasha would save her. "KAGOME!"

Kagome gasped as she heard Naraku's voice echo around her. `Oh my god' she thought running faster as fear enveloped her. "INUYASHA!" she screamed, as she heard something behind her. She continued running. "SESSHOMARU! INUYASHA!" she cried out again. The mountains seemed to be coming closer.

A hand shot out and grabbed her. She screamed and turned around to see Naraku. He struck her across her face and she fell onto the dirt letting the knife slide a few feet away. She desperately tried to get up or crawl away but he continued to block her way. He held her arms together and tore the top off her dress. "INUYASHA!" she screamed with tears in her eyes. "YOUR HANYOU WON'T SAVE YOU NOW!" Naraku screeched.

One of her hands came free and she reached out and grabbed the knife. "NARAKU!" she yelled. He looked up at her and she thrust the knife into his face. He screeched and purple liquid oozed out. She blasted him in the torso with a little of her miko powers slamming him against a nearby tree. She decided to forget about the knife and run for her life. She began running again screaming as loud as she could for Inuyasha or Sesshomaru.

There was nowhere to hide so she decided to make as much noise as she could so that maybe Inuyasha or Sesshomaru would hear. Naraku grunted and pulled the knife out and he opened his haori to look at his burnt torso. "Kagome!" he yelled getting up and making his way to her.

`This isn't a puppet!' she thought, `This is the real Naraku!' She was at the end of the forest and ran past the last tree to find a barren wasteland going for miles until finally stopping at the mountains. If Inuyasha or Sesshomaru hadn't heard her by now there was no hope of reaching them. This desert would take at least two days for her to cross on foot.

She heard the forest rumble behind her. "INUYASHA!!!! INUYASHA!!!!!!!" she screamed. `Might as well!' she thought. She began running onto the desert.

A purple miasma began to release from the forest, Naraku's poison miasma. It was spreading like a plague. She continued running, jumping over thorny weeds and rocks. She finally saw something white coming towards her!

"SESSHOMARU!" she cried, running faster. The large dog came racing forward…………..and then, passed through her. She stopped, panting like crazy.

She looked behind her, the forest was there……….with the miasma advancing on her slowly…….the dog she had seen……where was Sesshomaru?!

"Sesshomaru?!?!" she cried out. How could he have passed through her?! "SESSHOMARU?!" she cried out again between sobs as the miasma was only 10 or 15 feet from her. "It was a mirage…." She whispered.

"Everyone's counting on me to survive, I can't let them down!" she said. She continued forward, even if she wasn't going as fast as she was before, she could still try. She continued running and looked over her shoulder. She screamed when she saw tentacles shoot out from the forest as Naraku slowly emerged. The tentacles lashed around her. "This is it, it's hopeless" she whispered.

"NOT ENTIRELY!" Came Inuyasha's voice. Kagome turned around as best she could and saw Inuyasha race past her wielding Tetsuaiga. With one slash he cut Naraku's tentacles into pieces.

Naraku screeched but sent out more tentacles, these, however, were much sharper. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and dodged to the side. "Inuyasha!" she cried happily. He smiled down at her and then looked up yelling, "I FOUND HER FIRST!!!!!"

Something large shot over Kagome and she looked up to see Sesshomaru in his true spirit form. Sesshomaru landed with a loud "BOOM" onto the many tentacles, making the ground shake.

From the forest came a large roar…….and Kagome screamed when she saw Naraku appear in front of them in the form of an immensely large spider. Inuyasha picked Kagome up and bounded towards the mountains. "WHAT ABOUT SESSHOMARU!?!" Kagome yelled, as bits of dirt flew everywhere from Sesshomaru's pouncing. "HE CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF! BESIDES, WE PLAYED THAT ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS GAME YOU TAUGHT ME! HE WON, SO I MAKE THE GET-AWAY WITH YOU!" Inuyasha replied, going faster towards the mountains.

Sesshomaru let out a snarl as Naraku continued trying to poison him by biting him. Sesshomaru spat his acidic salvia towards Naraku, making the spider jump back.

Inuyasha tried jumping up the cliff but it was no use, only Koga seemed to be able to do such a thing. "HEADS UP!"

Sango and Miroku began descending from the top of the cliff while riding Kirara. "JUST IN TIME!" Inuyasha called. "Kagome!" Sango cried holding out her hand as a gust of wind made Kirara fly backwards slightly. Kagome finally managed to grab Sango's hand, and was hoisted up. "IS THAT NARAKU!?" Miroku called down to Inuyasha. "YEA! I DOUBT HE'LL BE STAYING FOR LONG, THOUGH, HE ISN'T HOLDING UP GOOD AGAINST SESSHOMARU!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"GO HELP HIM!" Kagome cried. "FINE, BUT YOU BETTER HAVE SOME RAMEN IN THAT PACK OF YOURS AT HIS CASTLE OR ELSE I'LL KILL!" Inuyasha called, bounding towards the ongoing battle between Sesshomaru and Naraku.

"Kirara! Let's go!" Sango said. Kirara flew up onto the cliff overlooking the battle.

Sesshomaru slammed onto the ground after taking a hit from Naraku. Being in such a large form had disadvantages when it came to speed, but if he turned back to his other form his power would decrease.

"BACK OFF!" Inuyasha yelled slamming Tetsuaiga into the ground, unleashing the wind scar. "SESSHOMARU! LOOK OUT!" Kagome screamed. Sesshomaru jumped into the air just in time as the wind scar raged past him towards Naraku.

Naraku dodged just in time to avoid a fatal blow, but not soon enough to leave the battle unharmed. Three of his eight monstrous legs were cut into pieces, and there was a large gash across his side. Before Inuyasha could race after him Naraku retreated back into the forest towards his castle.

"Let's go!" Kagome said. Kirara gave off one of her feline roars and made her way to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

Kagome, Miroku, and Sango arrived to find Sesshomaru and Inuyasha arguing.

"Just admit it Inuyasha, you wanted it to hit me" Sesshomaru said, changing back to his other form. "FINE THEN! I did want to hit you!" Inuyasha yelled back. Sango sighed.

"You guys! Don't fight, Inuyasha, you didn't want to tell Sesshomaru about the wind scar or else Naraku would find out, too. RIGHT INUYASHA?" Kagome said.

"FEH!" Inuyasha said. Kagome dashed forward and wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. "You guys saved me!" she said crying into Inuyasha's haori.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but enjoyed having her so close to him again………though, the fact that she was also hugging Sesshomaru made him tick.

Sesshomaru said nothing, but got quite a view down her torn shirt. `BAD SESSHOMARU!' He thought. "You're going to have to tell me all about what happened" Sango said after Kagome finally let go. "Yes, I'm curious as to how you could hear us" Sesshomaru said, recalling the memory of the `sit' game they had had in the mountains.

"I was using Kanna's mirror, I'm sorry for `sitting' you so many times, Inuyasha. Are you alright?" Kagome asked. "Yea, some broken limbs and a bloody nose but nothin' a few bowls of Ramen can't fix" Inuyasha said grinning.

"You deserve it!" Kagome said, wiping the last of her tears away. "Sesshomaru!" Kagome cried, "You're bleeding…….a lot!" Sesshomaru looked down at his side, "Well, would you look at that." "I'll fix it as soon as I get my bandages from my bag! Just, don't try and move too much……it's really bleeding…..a lot….." Kagome said, having a sickly feeling in her stomach as she watched more blood staining his haori.

"That looks rather serious," Miroku said getting a better look. "I've had worse," Sesshomaru said. He hadn't had worse, and the pain was amazing. He had had gashes like this before, why did this one pain him so much?

He began walking towards the mountains, but with each step the pain became worse. "Well, I guess Naraku got away" Inuyasha said looking back at the forest as they continued forward. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha continued on with some conversation but Kagome was more concerned about Sesshomaru.

Maybe Inuyasha and the rest of them hadn't noticed, but Sesshomaru was beginning to look strange the way he was walking, he wasn't limping, but he wasn't walking the way he usually did. Kagome edged closer to him without Inuyasha noticing.

"Sesshomaru, are you sure you're okay?" Kagome asked. "And that word, what does it mean, exactly," Sesshomaru said. "Oh, it means….if you're all right" Kagome said. "Nothing I cannot endure," Sesshomaru said, but he groaned slightly as his side began hurting viciously. "I really think you should ride on Kirara," Kagome said, spotting spots of blood on the ground behind him.

"As you asked before, I am `okay'…." Sesshomaru said, gripping his side. "It would be embarrassing to faint in front of Inuyasha," she whispered, finally realizing how much his wound was hurting him. "Even more degrading to ride on a cat," he replied. "Well, you know, if you can make it to the cliff, it wouldn't seem weak of you to ride on Kirara seeing as even Inuyasha can't make it up all the way" Kagome said.

"My ability to fly," he reminded her. "Well, flying won't make your wound hurt right?" Kagome said. "It is not the fact that I am walking that is making my wound burn, it seems earlier I overlooked the fact that Naraku is a poison demon. Obviously, the poison is doing its job," Sesshomaru said, stumbling slightly.

"But, that means the poison could be fatal!" she cried, drawing everyone's attention. "Yes, the acid of my saliva when I'm in my true spirit form can be fatal," Sesshomaru said sarcastically. Inuyasha continued conversing with Sango and Miroku.

"Why are you so afraid to let Inuyasha know that you're poisoned?!" she whispered angrily. "Never show any signs of weakness around your enemies," he stated. "Inuyasha isn't your enemy! I saw the way you two were working together, it was really cute," Kagome said. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.

They had reached the cliff. "Oh my gosh, Inuyasha. I forgot to tell you that I got these jewel shards from K-……..from Naraku's castle," Kagome said pulling out the shards from her dress.

"Good, give me two," Inuyasha said. "Why?" Kagome asked.

"So he can be just like me, isn't that right dog breath?!"
