Chapter two.

"Hello little brother, long time no see." The tall man at the door of the Sunset shrine said.

"Keh! What are you doing here bast.... brother?" Inuyasha asked, looking back at Mama Higurashi.

"Don't be such a baka. I'm here to see your little miko."

"Inuyasha, don't be so rude." Mama Higurashi stepped in front of Inuyasha and looked at the Lord of the Western Lands. "We've known Sesshy for years!" Mama paused with a frown, and then looked between the men in front of her before turning to Sesshoumaru "You said little brother?"

Sesshoumarutook Mama's arm as he lead the way to the living room, completely ignoring Inuyasha. "Yes Mina, brother. Kagome may have told you about some of the things I’ve done to these two over the years."

"Um yes, I think I remember something about a hole in Inuyasha's stomach, but surely that wasn't you!?" She questioned in a tone that sounded like she was convincing herself of something.

Wincing slightly from the memories, Sesshoumaru glanced at Inuyasha and then changed the subject. "Let's see to Kagome's injuries shall we."

"How do you know about those?" Mama asked, and then thought of another question. "How did you know to come here with a doctor now?"

Sesshoumaruturned and looked at mama before he answered her questions. He then motioned for the man still standing in the doorway to come forward and look at the girl.

"Your daughter was hurt five hundred years ago for me. I simply waited for my brother to bring her here; I then made sure my own doctor was available to see to her." Glancing at his brother, Sesshoumaru continued. "Of course, if you would rather explain to a human doctor what happened to the miko..." He trailed off.

"I didn't think about that. I just wanted to make sure Kagome received medical treatment." Mama told him.

Sesshoumarujust looked at her, and then moved over to Kagome, totally ignoring Inuyasha, who growled at him. "This is Jinenji, he's the best youkai doctor in Japan." Sesshoumaru finally looked over to Inuyasha and said "I believe the two of you know each other."

Jenenjiunwrapped the blankets from around Kagome. Taking note of how much blood was still flowing out of the miko. Jinenji asked Mama Higurashi to show him where Kagome's room was. Mama Higurashi watched as Jenji picked up Kagome and then showed him to her room.
When Inuyasha tried to follow, Sesshoumaru grabbed Inuyasha's arm. “No, let Jinenji do what he does best.” He said firmly, but quietly. “You and I have a few things to discuss first."

"Keh,” was Inuyasha's only replay as he looked once more up the stairs. Inuyasha moved out of the house and over to Goshinboku, and jumped into the branches closest to Kagome's window.
"What do you want bastard? How did you find us here?

"Don't be a bigger baka then you already are! As soon as I saw you go through the well I started watching for the time that the miko belonged to." Jumping up to sit beside Inuyasha in Goshinboku, he glanced at his brother from the corner of his cold gold eye. “I was actually in the room when the miko was born, the doctor who delivered her is your niece." ignoring the stunned look from Inuyasha he continued " I have been looking after your miko since the day she was born, and her family before she was born. I actually hold the title to the land the shrine sits on...."

"That still doesn't tell me just what the want you want with me you asshole?” came the angry statement from the hanyou.

"You? What could this Sesshoumaru actually want with you?” He asked as if it were a rhetorical question. “Nothing half breed, nothing at all. I came to make sure the miko was okay, and to offer her the training she is going to need every time she follows you back in time. "

"She doesn't need your training!" Shouted Inuyasha. "I’ll protect her, just like I always have"

"You didn't do a very good job this time baka. If it wasn't for me your little miko would be dead"

Jinenji, hearing the argument, closed the window and then ignored the words being shared between the brothers. he checked over the marks on Kagome's upper body. Wincing at the claw marks around her neck, he made sure they where clean, and had no poison in them. Sewing the larger wounds closed, he wrapped them, and then gave directions to Mama Higurashi on keeping them clean. Opening the window, he got the attention of the two still sitting in the tree and moved back as they made their way in through the window.

"I still don't think that Kagome needs to be trained in battle." Inuyasha was saying to Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumarusighed and shook his head "You really are a baka, little brother. You can not always protect her. She needs to know enough to keep her alive until you can get to her."

Just then Kagome's eyes opened and she looked around dazedly. "where am I"

Mama Higurashi sat down beside Kagome, "Your home sweetheart. The doctor just looked you over to make sure you where ok."

Kagome started to sit up in bed, only to have her held down by a hand to her uninjured shoulder. "Kagome you must not move yet. you've lost too much blood" said the man beside her.

"I know you" mumbled Kagome, "but I just can't remember from where." frowning in thought, Kagome looked at the doctor for a few minutes before a look of disbelief crossed her face "Jeninji?"

Laughing at the girl, Jinenji smiled as he nodded his head. Before Kagome could get up to hug him, she felt another hand press into her shoulder. Looking up, a bright smile crossed her face "Hello Uncle Sess, what are you doing here?"
