~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: Madness

"Ok. What happened?"&n bsp;Kagome didn't know if he'd answer. But she had to ask, who
wouldn't if a near seven foot creature was now only a foot tall.

Sesshoumaru eyed the Miko. *As much as I hate it, she may be of some help.* "A dark
miko curse this Sesshoumaru."

"I thought as much. I felt a dark aura earlier." Kagome thought a bit. "Do you know why
and how she cursed you."

He shrugged. "She didn't take kindly to being threaten. The only information she gave
was that this Sesshoumaru learn respect."

*Well that will take a while.* Kagome could already feel the headache building. *Who
knows how long he will be stuck like this. Now to find a way to get him to come with me
and not be too insulted.* But luck wasn't on her side.

"Kagome~!" They both visible stiffened. *This wasn't going to go well.*

Inu yasha landed behind her. "Kagome. What are you doing out here? I thought you were
just getting wat- What in the Hell." Inu yasha trailed off starring at his half-brother. A
smirk appeared. "How did you manage this one? Piss off the wrong person?" He couldn't
hold back his laughter as it broke free.

"Inu yasha, this is no time to act like a brat. We need to find a way to get him back to
normal."

Inu yasha was confused for a moment then furious. "WE?! Oh hell no. WE are Not
helping him!"

Beginning to get annoyed, Kagome shifted to a warning tone. "Inu yasha-!"

Recognizing the&nbs p;warning tone he went on defence. "Why should we? It's not like he'd do
it for any of us. So just forget it."

Kagome sighed. "Inu yasha sit."

Sesshoumaru didn't like the idea of being helpless, nor did he enjoy pity. "Miko, This
Sesshoumaru does not require, nor want your aid." He finished with a glare. To which

Kagome raised a brow.

"Right..." A smirk appeared on her face. "Ok stop me." Kagome slowly brought her index
finger toward him. When she saw he caught on, she sped up to poke him. But he caught
her finger with both hands and struggled to push it back. The result was him being forced
back and a bruise to his ego. Kagome sighed at the irritation on his face. "Listen just
travel with us for a little while, and we'll see if we can help you. This way Rin will be
protected till you're back to your normal state. Ok?" She looked down at him with a
hopeful look, taking notice of his scowl.

He let go of her finger. ' In my anger over the situation, I forgot about Rin.' His head
bowed slightly. As much as it injured his pride, he had to admit he would not be able to
watch out for the girl as he was.

Kagome was starting to think on other ways to convince him, when the tiny youkai's head
snapped up startling her. His gaze locked with hers as he glared. "We will retrieve my
group at once." There was no question in his voice and Kagome had to hold back her
annoyance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So the question came up as there group started to travel in search of Sesshoumaru's
companions. How was he going to travel? He could leap and keep up with their walking
pace, but it was obvious that he was better off being carried.

"Being seen in this state is disgraceful." He mutter darkly. Kagome got an idea as they
come upon a war site. She picked up an empty arrow container and placed it before the
taiyoukai. He only seethed a bit before getting in, then she carefully put it on her back
next to the other container.

This proved to be ingenious. They could travel faster and no one would know he was
with them. But then there was the incident.

A group of youkai came for the jewel, as they tended to do. The group had been had split
up to take on the three of them. One was rushing Kagome, but she calmly just reached
back and stung her bow ready to fire her arrow. That is till it talked. "Wench, do you
really intend to fire this Sesshoumaru." He stated in a deadly calm voice, with his feet
pointed out toward the enemy, and his hair trailing down her arm.

Kagome paled as she quickly removed him from her bow. It was then she noticed her
target was too close to notch another arrow. So she tucked Sesshoumaru into herself as
she fused her power into her bow swinging out with her left. She managed to send the
creature back a few feet with a deep slash in his middle. Setting Sesshoumaru down, she
got an arrow and aimed it, letting it fly when the thing got up and came toward her again.
Then it was done.

She was still apologizing even now. She glanced at the irritated youkai a few feet away

sitting on some roots. Shippou was coloring. The others were out gathering wood and
food, while Inu yasha. Well he just mumbled that he be back then stalked off. She knew
he was still pissed about the whole situation, and that any excuse was a good one to get
away. She let the comb go through her hair one more time. "Listen I said I was sorry. It
won't happen again."

"hn." was his only response.

Kagome huffed, but then got an idea. "Bet your hairs a mess, how about I comb it for
you?"

Sesshoumaru turned a quick glare on her. "I think not."

She mused inside. * Yes I got him to break out of third person. Too bad I have to get him
pissed. I wonder how else I could do it and not die?* She stood and picked him up. "Oh
come on. It'll be nice. I promise."

"Woman, unhand me." He sneered.

She smiled. "No."

His eyes bleed red, and he could feel his youkai want to lash out. Then a thought stuck
him, and a toothy smile appeared. A light took over his form, and when it went away
Kagome was left with a snarling Inu youkai in full glory. Though very very small.

Kagome quivered as she stared down at what she could only see as a snarling pup and
couldn't help herself. A squeal of delight filled the air.

Sesshoumaru stopped and stared at the gushing woman. A scream was to be excepted, a
squeal? No, definitely not. He growled to get the woman's attention and to get her to stop
her mantra&n bsp;of "so cute! so cute!" as she held him above her.

"Aw, don't be mad" She brought him to her chest and gave him a good squeeze, which
stilled him "I just couldn't help it."

'Does she have any idea what she's doing.' Coming out of his stupor from being face first
into the woman's chest, he push back against her with his paws.

"Ok. Ok. I'll put you down." As promised she did. But that didn't mean she was through
with him. She grabbed her comb from the ground, and started to comb his fur. He
growled at her, ready to take her hand off, but after the third stroke his eyes became
hooded. His growls became softer before stopping all together. 'ok, so this did feel nice.'

Kagome beamed at him. "So you like it?"

He attempted a ' I hate you' glare before laying his head down, as it was suddenly very

heavy. Kagome watched as he drifted off to sleep, and couldn't help the small smile that
appeared. The whole time never knowing curious green eyes watched on.
