Thank you everyone for reviewing the last chapter, and all the chapters really, I am very appreciative of your support. I love writing this story, and I am happy that you all like it as much as I do.

Again, I apologize for the late update. I currently have about 5-6 working stories that I am trying to update and it’s really hard to update all the time. I can’t type 20,000 words every few days. I just don’t have that much free time. Yet, since I did get quite a bit of reviews, I decided to update this one before I update ‘There can be no justice without Love.’ So all of my readers who like my sailormoon story...it’s being updated and should be out soon.

Also, I have a new chapter in the making for ‘Love can be Explosive’...and I might turn ‘When the children sleep, the parents will play’ into a series of ficlets...let me know what you guys think, and if you have an suggestions for one shots between Kag/Inu, or any of the Inuyasha gang for that matter. I’m open to suggestions. The next ficlet is already in the works, I got a request a while back from a reviewer who wanted to see Kag and Inu having phone sex...keesha, you have inspired me to write a little modern fun between my favorite pair! I might even have then enjoy the modern world as you asked as well.

Anyways, please drop a review and let me know what you think and if you have any input or requests.

Now, On with the story

“Fucking Sesshoumaru. What does that bastard want now?”

Sesshoumaru made his way towards his little brother. He hadn’t laid eyes on the half-breed in over 500 years, yet the damn mutt looked exactly the same as he had when he was a pup. He watched as Inuyasha realized he was there and turned to glare at him. The pup looked like he was about to lunge for Sesshoumaru, when suddenly the woman next to him grabbed his arm and forced him to stay put. ‘The half-breed has shackled himself to another woman I see. Pathetic. They are both unworthy to be standing in this Sesshoumaru’s presence.’

Kagome was stunned as Inuyasha growled at the new comer. He had been playfully eating his ramen when that stranger had appeared. Now Inuyasha couldn’t take his eyes away from the man striding towards them, and the look of hatred displayed on his face was frightening.

Inuyasha couldn’t describe the hate that was welling inside of him. The youkai, his own aniki, had abandoned him to like a cursed life that no one and nothing should have to live, and now he just shows up out of nowhere to confront him NOW? 500 years TOO LATE? ‘Oh, FUCK NO! This is fucking bull shit. That fucking ass is going to get it when he get within claw distance.’

As if sensing the imminent threat, Sesshoumaru stopped several feet from the silent group’s table. He stared at Inuyasha’s face for a long moment and then he tipped his head to the side and asked the question that had been bothering him the entire way there.

“Why are you here half-breed?”

Inuyasha exploded. There was no other word for it. He literally shot out of his chair and lunged at Sesshoumaru. Everyone in the restaurant turned to watch as the silver haired man jumped up and stalked after the other silver haired man until the two had exited the small establishment and made their way to the alley next door. Kagome launched herself after the two men and watched in horror as the two took swing after swing at each other, occasionally exchanging words with each other.

“You son of a bitch! I can’t believe even you would stoop so low as to abandon me the way you did. I know you hated me, but I thought at least the fact that we shared the same blood meant something to you! But I forgot, you are a cold, heartless, mother fucking ass hole who only cares about himself and the precious blood of the Inutaisho Clan! I’m going to fucking kill you!”

“First of all, You? A filthy half-breed, defeat this Sesshoumaru? That’s laughable. If it wasn’t beneath this Sesshoumaru to even find enjoyment in your pain, this Sesshoumaru would be greatly amused. Second of all, this Sesshoumaru doesn’t know what abandonment you are speaking of, this Sesshoumaru only abandoned you when your birth led to the death of our father. This Sesshoumaru has no idea why you are so angry, but this Sesshoumaru demands an answer.”

“Naraku, you ass! You abandoned me to be sealed into a scroll, at the mercy of any summoner, be the hand of Naraku. Why didn’t you come to help me? Was it because I’m so far beneath you? Or was it because you were scared that I would someday challenge you for rights of the Western Lands and you knew there was a chance that I could actually beat you? You know what? I don’t even care what your fucking reasons are, you still did what you did and there is nothing you can change about that now. Now I just want to beat the shit out of your arrogant, bastard face!”

Suddenly both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru disappeared from the room entirely. Sango, Miroku, and Kagome looked around in bewilderment as they tried to figure out what had happened. Sango and Miroku looked confusedly at Kagome as she suddenly stood up and began to walk toward the door. They called her name, but she didn’t seem to hear them. They were wondering what the hell was going on as they threw some money on the table and rushed after their friend. Kagome was making her way down the street, completely bypassing her car, and made her way to the small park that was nearby. They yelled at her and began to run even faster as a car came hurtling toward her, the driver not paying attention as he rattled away on his damn cell phone. (AN: that is one of my biggest pet peeves. Dumb ass people who talk on their damn cell phones and don’t pay attention to the road in front of them! I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!)

The car was almost to Kagome when, in a sudden streak of silver, Kagome appeared on the other side of the road; trance broken.

Kagome couldn’t remember how she had gotten to the park down the way from the restaurant they had dined at, but she did remember a streak of silver. Expecting it to be Inuyasha, her eyes grew wide as she noticed Sesshoumaru standing next to her, that indifferent facade upon his chiseled face. The man really was quite handsome, and yet, Inuyasha was so much more to her.

“KAGOME!”

Kagome started at the call of her name. She turned in time for Inuyasha to appear and begin his tirade of how she could have been seriously hurt, and how stupid humans should watch where the fuck they walk because they were so damn fragile. He kept yelling until she rushed him and hugged him around the waist. He seemed to not know what to do until his hands landed on her shoulders and rested, neither pushing nor pulling. They stayed like that for a few moments, him looking down at her with a mystified look upon his face, her clinging to the man in front of her like a life line.

Sesshoumaru had finally had enough of this emotional display. He may not like his little brother too much, but he was still blood. It was immensely disgraceful for anyone of their bloodline, hanyou or not, to be forced into a life of slavery. Sesshoumaru would figure out what would break this damned curse, and then he would kill the one who dared to bestow such a curse upon his blood kin. He looked up and saw that the two were still pseudo-hugging, so he made his presence known again.

“Half-breed.”

Inuyasha looked up and noticed his brother looking at him weirdly. Whatever had crossed the taiyoukai’s mind, it vanished as he looked at Inuyasha and spoke.

“What do you want now Sesshoumaru?”

“This Sesshoumaru wished to rid you of this curse. It is disgraceful to our heritage that you have been afflicted with such a curse of servitude. You may be a filthy half-breed, but you still have the blood of the Inu-no-Taisho flowing through your veins. This Sesshoumaru will preserve that dignity.”

“Oh, how awfully kind of you. I’m so grateful that I think I might cry.”

“Inuyasha, shut up and accept his offer. I know you don’t want to be cursed any longer. If he can help, why not let him?”

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. The wench had a point...he didn’t want to remain cursed for all of eternity. ‘Damn them all.’

“Alright Sesshoumaru, see what you can find out about this fucking curse and let me know if there is any way to be rid of it.”

“This Sesshoumaru will see what he can do, and will contact you when information is found.”

With that said, Sesshoumaru disappeared in a burst of light that shot across the sky. Kagome was glad that even though Inuyasha had expressed a great hatred for the youkai that had just left, the two were going to work together to lift this curse. Kagome looked to her left at Inuyasha and noticed that his formerly grey t-shirt was now stained red in certain parts. She couldn’t figure out what the red was until she got closer and lifted his shirt. Before he could force the shirt back into place, Kagome noticed several deep gouges in his stomach, back, chest, legs, and arms areas.

“You’re hurt! What did he do to you?! We need to get you to a hospital or something!”

Inuyasha almost cracked a smile at her overprotective nature. He had only know her for a few days, but he was definitely beginning to like her. She was a spirited wench, never letting anyone take advantage of her...although he would love nothing more than to take advantage of her beautiful body. ‘Oops, can’t follow that line of thinking until we get back to her house. smirk’

“Wench! I don’t need to go to a fucking hospital or anything...these minor wounds will heal in a matter of hours. We should be heading back to your house though. I’m suddenly not hungry, not even for ramen.”

Kagome settled down enough for the two to part ways with Sango and Miroku before heading back to Kagome’s place.

Later, at Kagome’s

Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting down peacefully, watching some TV as Kagome showed Inuyasha some of the wonders of the modern world, other than ramen of course. They were watching an american TV show about people committing crimes and how they were caught at a later date. CSI was the name of the show. (AN: I absolutely LOVE CSI: Crime Scene Investigation)The two were enjoying a little time together without their hormones choking the sense out of them.

There was a knock at the door. Kagome stood up and walked to the door. She looked through the peephole and saw the stoic figure of Sesshoumaru standing outside her front door. She hastily unlatched the lock and swung the door open.

“Please, come in Sesshoumaru. Make yourself at home.”

“This Sesshoumaru thanks you ningen.”

‘What the hell is a ningen?’ Thought Kagome.

Inuyasha looked up from the TV when he the scent of his brother reached his nose. He couldn’t tell if the news would be good or bad, Sesshoumaru’s face had never shown emotion, and didn’t begin to now.

“This Sesshoumaru has some good and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?”

“Give me the fucking bad news first.”

“Very well. It is nearly impossible to remove this curse. It is a very powerful spell that takes a great deal of power to generate, and even more to remove. The specifics of the curse have all but been lost to time, and only the generic details were available.”

“Well, that’s just fucking great isn’t it?”

“There is some good news. There is one way to remove the curse, but it is very difficult.”

“Let’s hear it...we may as well listen to my one mode of escape.”

“You never know Inuyasha, this could be your chance to live a normal life!”

“Don’t get your hopes up Kagome, I know I’m not. I’ll probably always be cursed.”

“I don’t know Inuyasha. This may seem difficult, but it’s not impossible. Let’s just hear what Sesshoumaru has to say.”

“Keh.”

“If you two are done squabbling, the answer to the curse resides in the reason the curse was placed upon you to begin with. Naraku cursed you because he wanted Kikyou. The only way to remove the curse is to be summoned by a descendent of her line, the great line of the miko Midoriko, and to refrain from sexually communing with this summoner. The entire month you are together, you may not mate completely with her. When the month is up, you must join with her as soon as the sun sets, and remain so until the clock strikes midnight. If you fail to comply with this aspect, and you pull out before midnight, you will return to the book from whence you came and return to servitude.”

“How the hell am I supposed to find a descendent of that line? Kikyou died childless, and her sister was a miko, she would have remain a virgin until she died. FUCK! I guess I always knew this was what would happen. I knew I would always be stuck in this fucked up situation. Fuck it Sesshoumaru, thanks for trying to help me, but none can help me now.”

Kagome went stiff and pale when she heard Sesshoumaru say that Inuyasha needed one of Midoriko’s line to release him from his servitude. Her ji-chan had often spoken of their great line of miko ancestors that began with the great miko herself. Maybe Inuyasha wasn’t as doomed as he thought.

“Hold on Inuyasha. I think I might be able to help.”

“How the hell are you going to help this damned situation?”

“My family line can be traced as far back as the warring states period and even further. My ji-chan once told me a story of how our family is a branch on the tree of the great miko, Midoriko; our particular family descends from her lesser known daughter, Maiko, who did not possess the immense power of her mother, nor her sister Makoto.”

Inuyasha was slightly stunned and couldn’t seem to understand exactly what Kagome was trying to tell him.

“What are you trying to tell me Kagome?”

“I am a descendant of the great miko Midoriko. I can help you Inuyasha.”
