A/N Hey I rushed to get this out to you guys so there might be some mistakes. Please let me know if you see anything.
It was still early morning when Kagome arrived in a speckled clearing. The wind blew a small gust into her face and brought with it the sweet smell of flowers. The yellow and blue blooms twinkled up at her as she walked into the field. How could she resist stopping here for a moment? She was tired and her feet hurt, most of all she was hungry. She hadn't had time to stop and eat still. Her escape from Inuyasha had left her a bit drained. The baka had tried to force her to stay with him. She rubbed the spot on her wrist where had he pulled her. It felt like it was going to bruise. She sat him into a crater for that 'Stupid Inuyasha!' Well at least that had allowed her to get away - for now.
."Uuhh!" She couldn't just keep sitting him! When he came back for her, what was she going to do? Kagome was laying on her back in the middle of the flowers and her thoughts seemed to steal time from her. She picked up a yellow star and twirled it idly in her hands. What was she going to do? Again the thought puzzled its way into her thinking. 'This is crazy. I can't make it on my own. What was I thinking? I should have thought this through before I left him . . . Can I really do this?'
Inuyasha had always been there to save her. In fact he had rescued her from death even when it could have killed him, or the woman he loved. Now she had thrown all that in his face, left him in the dirt, quite literally. Not to mention now she would have to deal with all the power hungry demons that would be coming after the jewel. "Ugh," She groaned again. Those demons were going to be a pain. She did have better aim then she used to. She could purify a demon with just a touch, but could she really do this?
She could remember how hard it had been to come this far. Kagome pulled the semi complete jewel out from under her new white shirt. The jewel had been almost complete when they went to face Naraku. He had the only shards they were missing minus the ones that Koga had in his legs and Kohaku had in his back. But Naraku had used his half to block a shot Kagome had sent toward him - effectively shattering the shards that he held. It would have killed him, she guessed. if he didn't block it. Maybe that was why he made such a desperate move. Or maybe he knew he was going to die and just wanted to create as much trouble as he could before then. 'Who could understand the mind of that creep anyway?' At least before he had done that, her friends were there to help find the shards. Now it was up only to her.
Tucking her jewel back away with the hand that wasn't occupied with the flower, Kagome sighed. It didn't matter if she could really do this or not she had to try. That was just the way it had to be, and she was going to do this without Inuyasha, without anyone. She didn't see how she could do it any other way and still be doing the right thing. It was about time she fixed this. She didn't need a body guard or a baby sitter any longer. Her thoughts were interrupted suddenly, as huge aura brushed her own.
She knew that aura and the freezing feeling that it brought with it. The raw power as an undercurrent was the buzz of warning. 'Sesshomaru.' He was the last thing she needed. She might be able to fight off a few lower youkai and maybe a bit more, but she knew she couldn't stand up to Sesshomaru. She wasn't an idiot and that demon was unpredictable. He was coming closer. But there was something else too . . . someone else. "Rin?" She breathed. The sound of jubilant laughter answered her question. Kagome saw bouncing brown hair and laughed as she came in view. The girl was always so happy. Well at least she was not going to die today. She didn't know much about Sesshomaru but, she did know that he was not without honor. He wouldn't kill her in front of the child.
"Kagome–sama!" Rin stopped skipping next to her.
Kagome got up onto her knees so she was eye level with the girl. "Hey Rin, how are you?"
Rin shifted back and forth on the balls of her feet. "Oh, Rin is very well Kagome - sama. Lord Sesshomaru, and Master Jaken take very good care of Rin." Her toothy smile confirmed it.
Kagome couldn't help but smile with her. "I'm sure they do. Where is your Lord?"
Rin giggled and looked upward. At first Kagome was confused and then a smooth voice entered in their conversation. "Miko."
Kagome froze. Did he have to sneak up on her like that? She turned and behind her was Sesshomaru. His silver hair was shining and swinging behind him. The blue crescent mark was still centered perfectly on his forehead. His gold eyes looked as if they should be so warm with the color they portrayed. But no, they were cold iced over from the core it seemed. Why, Kagome could not say. She supposed it would be easier to kill if you were as cold hearted as Sesshomaru. After all he was a killing machine. As his eyes grew a bit colder and she realized she was staring.
Kagome shivered and looked away. "Oh, hi Sesshomaru." She smiled nervously. Sesshomaru ignored her. The only indication that he heard her was the slight narrowing of his eyes. It was too slight for Kagome to notice.
"Where is my half brother, Miko?" He turned and faced away from her as if what he said was only a passing thought.
Kagome stood and Rin danced away for the moment. Sesshomaru turned and raised a silver eyebrow at her. She did not answer right away and he was growing impatient. Sesshomaru tested her aura. She was upset. He was in her presence for only a few minutes now, and she was already showing her weakness. 'Stupid girl'
She looked up at him with a sudden and unexpected blue flare in her eyes. "I don't know! Probably still in a dirt hole half way to the United States!"
Sesshomaru's gaze grew minutely colder."You will not yell at this Sesshomaru, Miko." 'United States?' Many times in the few encounters with the miko over the past few years she had said things that were confusing to him, though he certainly would never ask her to explain. He didn't care enough.
"Why is he not with you?" A bitch of his pack should not be alone. By her belonging to Inuyasha's pack and Inuyasha begrudgingly belonging to his own, she was under his responsibility. The hanyou had better not have left her a burden in his hands or Sesshomaru would have to teach him to look after his pack members more closely. "This Sesshomaru will not ask again"
Kagome's eyes grow a little distant and her voice a little softer as she turned away and answered him."I left him. He . . . " She stopped
"Miko" He said. It was not a nudge to talk it was a command to speak. Kagome saw that and quickly continued. Rin was not with them anymore, even if she was nearby, so she didn't push her luck with the youkai lord.
"He wants to be with Kikyo, and I . . . can't be in the way anymore I need to fix the jewel, and in no way is it his obligation to help. Besides," She smiled a bit too brightly "It's not a big deal. I can handle it." Once again nervous laugh forced its way out of her lips.
So she had left him. The hanyou had finally done it. Pushed away the only thing that was good for him. Sesshomaru had seen how the hanyou had treated his bitch before. He would not blame her for leaving. If she had been of Inu decent, she would have left the bastard a long while ago. But she was ignorant of their customs. The girl was an idiot for thinking Inuyasha did not have an obligation to her. Inuyasha was a bigger baka for making her his obligation. He could kill the half breed for this.
' This Sesshomaru is too important to look after the half breed's mistakes.' Still, he would have to keep an eye on her. He could not let one of his pack die due to the idiocies of his half brother "See to it that you do, Miko." And with that Sesshomaru walked away from her. Leaving her standing there watching his silver hair sway as he went.
Rin popped back up with another wide grin "Kagome–sama do you know how to make flower - pretties?" Rin showed her a crown of the five pedaled flowers.
"That's really nice Rin! I know, want me to show you what I can make?" Kagome thought she might as well have a good time until Inuyasha came for her. There was no way she could out run him. Sure, she wanted to be away from him, and sure, she wanted to run but she couldn't get away . . . 'Shouldn't he is here by now?'
She let the thought pass, as Rin jumped "Yay! Rin should get Master Jaken to help Rin collect flowers!" With that she skipped away. Kagome laughed. She imagined the green toad stumbling around with an arm load of 'pretties'
~*~
Sesshomaru was furious. To anyone who had the courage to look, though, he appeared as calm and collected as always. He wanted to kill something, too bad the real something he wanted to kill was off limits. How dare his half brother leave that human in his lap to watch over If he had been a youkai of any lower standing, he would have simply ended the troublesome girl's existence. But his nobility would not allow it. How would it look to the rest of his kingdom if he killed a member of his own pack for such a frivolous reason? He could not kill the miko and he could not kill the half breed, and it was incredibly infuriating. The boy had been a nuisance since the moment he was born, and now he was still causing problems for the world. The girl had caused him her share of problems as well. First, with tetsusaiga, and now with his half brother. They were both very lucky they belonged to his pack, or they would have been slain long ago.
He watched as Rin came back over to their camp."Master Jaken!" She called waving her arms.
"Be quiet Rin can't you see our Lord is deep in thought!" The imp tried to hush the girl.
"But Master Jaken, Kagome–sama and Rin need your help!" Rin pouted.
Jaken crossed his arms. Flowers and Rin ment only one thing-trouble"No, absolutely not! I will not go plowing through that cursed field of flowers with a bunch of pathetic huma-"
Sesshomaru stopped listening to their meaningless squabble and looked away. Perhaps he should go teach his half brother to take better care of his things. "Jaken," Sesshomaru's cool voice cut into the imp's squeak "Go with Rin, I will return"
"Yes my Lord, right away my Lord"
"Rin will watch Master Jaken, Lord Sesshomaru-sama." She promised him smiling.
"Hn." Was all the reply he gave her before heading to where he last smelt the stench of his half brother.
~*~
Inuyasha grumbled angrily as he climbed up the hole of dirt Kagome had put him in. 'Stupid baka.' As soon as he got out of there he was going to give her a piece of his mind. Did she honestly think he was going to let her go and get herself killed after all he had done to protect her? No way. They would complete the jewel together and then the stupid girl would go the heck back where she belonged; in the future, not here in the past where Kikyo still lived. Half lived anyway.
When he made it out, the sun was still hanging in the late morning sky. It was about time! With his feet finally on the ground he decided he was going to get that bitch right now, before she got any farther away. He sniffed for her but automatically his nose crinkled at the smell. He hated that. Kikyo would never smell like she used to–Kikyo! "Kikyo!" He called out to her.
"Behind you Inuyasha" Inuyasha turned around and Kikyo stood before him as beautiful as she had always been. Her soul collectors swam around her eerily, but Inuyasha leaped closer. "Where is Kagome?" She said as she walked next to him.
"I don't really know. She left." Inuyasha took another step to her.
"What a smart girl." Kikyo lifted her hand for a silver snake to perch on.
"What do you mean by that?"
"She eluded my attempt to retrieve my soul" Kikyo smiled, but it held no warmth. The soul collector flew away from her hand.
"What?" He backed up a little. He backed up a little, his amber eys wide.
"Does that surprise you?" Kikyo looked at him and smiled again but differently. Inuyasha tried to imagine it was kind and for him. Anything to make this situation go away. Kikyo moved to him. "I only want what was stolen from me. Is that so wrong?" She placed a cold hand on his shoulder. "She has been nothing but trouble for us, Inuyasha!"
"Yes but -"
"Are you going to stop me? Before she came here, you would have done anything for me." She closed her eyes. Pain was written on her face, beautiful and demanding resolution.
Inuyasha wanted to put the smile back on her features, he wanted everything to be back the way it was. When Kikyo would look at him with light in her eyes, but it was Kagome she was talking about now. "Kikyo . . . I can't kill Kagome" He didn't move her hand away, but neither could he return any of the affection she was showing him at the moment. Yes, he knew that Kikyo was different but he never would have thought she would harm Kagome. When she returned her gaze to him, there was pain in the orbs he once loved so much. It was the same pain he saw in her eyes the day she pinned him to the tree. The same pain he had seen in her eyes when he chose to save Kagome over her when they fought Naraku.
"If you plan to stop me, you will have to kill me." She took another step, her arm bent at the elbow to allow herself to be closer. "Will you kill me again Inuyasha?" She was pleading now.
Inuyasha took her in his arms "No."

A/N Hey guys, once again thanks for reading. I can't say that I don't hope for a review this time, I didn't get any for the last chapter
