“Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha said creeping into Kagome's room, when he saw no one he snuck over to Kagome's bed. She had been asleep for a bout two days. He did not know what he was doing there he was just there.

“Kagome.” He whispered his hand wiping her forehead off.

“I hate to admit it but you've done good. I mean even Sesshomaru is back to how he used to be. I liked him back then now he just wants to kill me. I know you can't hear me but I'm glad to be able to talk and not get insulted for it. You know the jewel; well I think it's inside you so I guess its yours now. “He said wiping her forehead once again and leaving as fast as he had come.

“Father when do you think she'll wake up. Inuyasha said in a bad mood.

“ I do not know Inuyasha only time will tell.” He said walking with his sons and Kilala through the castle. Sango, Miroku, Rin, and Keade. Kilala started growling and the boys froze.

“What is- wrong” Inu Tashio finished after there was an aura flare in Kagome's wing of the castle.

“Inu Yasha!” Was, wailed throughout the castle, as Shippou came barreling through the hallway.

“Kagome started shaking in her sleep muttering a name over and over like someone was hurting her.” Shippou said frantically.

A growled `What!' was all that let any trace of Inuyasha of Sesshomaru ever being there.

“Well let us go kit.” Inu Tashio said walking towards the hallway the brothers flew through.

“Inu-papa?” Shippou squeaked

“Yes kit?”

“Is Okaa-san going to be o.k.?”

“Yes she will be fine.” It is not going to hurt to give the kit hope.

“While Inu Tashio and Shippou were walking down the hall Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were already in Kagome's room. When they arrived, she was shaking violently. Her aura, flaring around her. At first, both were unsure as to whether or not it would hurt them but after a while they realized it would not. After directed by the ever-calm Sesshomaru Inuyasha left to get a cold compress. Sesshomaru sat by Kagome's side and tried to sooth her. You could tell by the look in his eyes, he was doing it all on instinct. He had no control only the urge to protect HIS pack. The only thought that could go through his mind was `what is going on?' It could be interpreted many ways so he had a right to ask it.

“Sess catch” Inuyasha said throwing the cold wet rag at Sesshomaru. He was just about to leave when he picked up a name. Sesshomaru thinking he was delusional out right ask Inuyasha.

“You heard it as well.” Sesshomaru said

“Uh-huh.” Inuyasha answered

“Whose name is it she's saying?” Inuyasha wondered as Inu Tashio and Shippou walked in.

“Father who is Akitsu?” Sesshomaru said. Inu Tashio's features froze at his son's question.

Inu Tashio's P.O.V.

`How does he know about Akitsu he was way before his time. Maybe it is to late to finish this myself.”

“Father” Sesshomaru called insistently.

“He was my old friend, Naraku's Father” I answered knowing my sons would only want the truth.

“Sesshomaru's she's waking up.” Inuyasha called from the bedside.

“Mm Inuyasha.” Kagome grumbled from the bed her eyes blurry

“Where' Sesshomaru?” She asked noting her surroundings. Sesshomaru was relieved she was awake. The only way you would know however is if you looked into his eyes. While his face showed indifference, his eyes showed relief.

“What happened?” She asked

“You fainted after your body absorbed the jewel.” Sesshomaru offered. Kagome's face faltered between shock and in deep thought.

“And I'm guessing that now that we killed Naraku his father wants the jewel.” She concluded aloud

“Where's Rin?” she said her head shooting up.

“She is safe with the monk and exterminator sleeping in the gardens.” Sesshomaru answered

“When's Akitsu coming?” Kagome said again deep in thought.

“Five days tops.” I answered

“How do we fight him?”

“I do not know Inu.” I answered

“Well he wants the jewel so I'll give it to him.” Kagome said

“What!” My sons and I shouted simultaneously

“And when I do I'll purify the bastard.” She finished.

“O we thought you were just gonna let him have it.” Inuyasha said

“Inuyasha I am not that stupid.” She yelled back.

Sesshomaru's P.O.V.

`Well at least she has tact.'

“Well I think we should attack him head on. I wouldn't want to risk your life.” Miroku said from the doorway.

“Luckily for you only Miroku and I were awoke.” Sango said walking into Kagome's room.

“Oops sorry, how's it going: Kagome said smiling. Sango walked over to Kagome's bed and sat next to her.

“Fine Kagome but wouldn't you rather try the other method of killing Akitsu the one we were going to use on Naraku.' Sango said tilting her head, Kagome looked confused at first the giggled.

“Okay”

“What are you two talking about?” Inuyasha asked

“Nothing just planning revenge a girls way.” Kagome said

“Well as long as we are not on the receiving side of the revenge.” I said I have been there and felt. The girls started giggling I just ignored them until they literally started plotting their revenge.

“O.k. now we disguise Kagome as a common demon and hide her powers. We lead Akitsu to a closed off area that has many mountains. Since Akitsu will have demons like Naraku most likely, we will start a fire and let their corpses burn and once Akitsu thinks it can't get any worse it will.” Sango and Kagome said after a while.

“And how pray tell will it get worse.” I said, my father nodding his head in agreement in the background.

“We're gonna kill him” Kagome said

“How are we gonna kill him Kagome?” Inuyasha said.

“Don't know we'll know when we get there. Though we should leave tomorrow so we can set the surroundings up and we become familiar with the territory by then he should be close.” Kagome said

“Well then we will leave in the morning if you all will get to bed” Inu Tashio said and with that Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and my father left while I stayed with Kagome.

“Sesshomaru what's wrong?” She asked

“Nothing Kagome.” I said standing there my inu beast acting childish for some reason I had the felling to run and jump into Kagome's embrace. I felt like a child again.

“Sesshomaru.” Kagome whispered. “Will you sleep with me, I want to be held. I'm really scared.” She said looking down as she fiddled with her hands.

“Yes Kagome.” I answered as I gently laid in her bed, she snuggled in to me and her breathing quickly evened out.

“I'll hold you till the ends of time.” I whispered to a sleeping Kagome. I put myself to sleep. Only tomorrow would conduct the future.

I woke up a lone the next morning. It was late in the afternoon, which was odd because I usually do not sleep at all. I stood from the bed and walked through the castle intent on finding my mate. When I did, she was out in the gardens standing around playing with Rin and Shippou. Everyone else was scattered around, mostly preparing for our leave. I walked over to my brother and father.

“Father do you think this is the right thing to do?” I asked

“Honestly Sesshomaru. No I don't think any thing is right to do because I do not know how it will end, yet.” He said pessimistically.

“What do you know that you're not telling us?” I asked

“Sesshomaru!” Rin yelled just noticing I was there, she ran and jumped landing in my arms, which lately have had a mind of their own.

“Good afternoon Rin.” I said setting her down.

“Is it true is it true are we leaving from the castle again. Rin thinks this will be fun.” She said animatedly.

“ Man Rin, no wonder Sesshomaru never talks. He never gets a chance between you, Jaken, and Inuyasha.” Kagome said whole-heartedly from where she was standing. Rin looked guilty until almost everyone except Shippou who did not get it and me, that was until Inuyasha came up behind me and tweaked my ears, why do I have to be an inu this is shameful.

“Omigod I need a camera Sesshomaru's laughing I think I might pass out.” Kagome said laughing. I just stood there with a stoic look on my face.

“O yes it is just hilarious.” I said, it made everyone laugh even harder.

“O When are we leaving again?” Shippou chimed in. Kagome stopped and thought for a moment and then the most evil of smirks landed on her face.

“Now.” She said as soon as the words left her mouth everyone silenced and the serious aura in the air could scare someone. Miroku silently stood bring Sango with him and helping Kaede. Shippou and Rin ran to their parents, Inuyasha stood by me and Kirara transformed. Miroku, Sango, and Kaede rode on Kirara. While held Rin and Shippou. Then Kagome rode on my back.

“So where are we going again?” Kagome asked me.

“We are going to mount Hiei.” I said gliding through the sky.

“O.k. Wow look at the view!” Kagome said holding tight to my fur and looking down over our lands.

“And it is all ours” I said

“Wow Really Sessho?” She asked amazed

“Yes Kagome really.” I said as she started to fall asleep. It was a good day to mount Hiei she was better asleep.

Kagome's P.O.V.

I woke up on Sesshomaru's boa. When I realized what my surroundings were I stood up and walked around. Everything that Sango and I had planned was set up.

“Aw they set it up with out me.” I said to no one in particular considering I'm all alone. I walked out side and saw everyone around the fire it was kind of cute. Inuyasha, Shippou, and Rin were all cuddled up together sleeping. Sango was lying against a sleeping Miroku with Kirara cuddled up against her chest. I'm guessing Kaede was in the other hut. Sesshomaru was in a tree looking at the empty sky probably staying up to protect the human Inuyasha.

“What changed Sesshomaru?” I asked snapping him out of his revere. He looked over to Inuyasha and I nodded.

“I don't even know why we fought in the first place. I didn't like what I was becoming, besides my father once asked me if I had something to protect. Back then I was to foolish and self absorbed to know what he meant. Although now I know, He meant Inuyasha, and I didn't realize that until Rin.” He said as I finished climbing into his lap.

“So tomorrow I think.” I said, as I smelt the air.

“So it seems.” Inu Tashio said from beneath us. Scaring me to the point I yelped.

“Father leave nee-chan alone.” Inuyasha mumbled in his sleep. Inu Tashio chuckled before falling to the ground to rest comfortably against the tree.

“It's going to be a long battle when the sun rises.” He said, I nodded my head against Sesshomaru's chest before trying to fall back asleep.

I woke up to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru shaking me from a nightmare.

“Kagome what's wrong?” They asked simultaneously.

“Nothing just a nightmare.” I answered

“Kagome!” Sesshomaru growled

“Nothing more Sesshomaru just a night mare.” I answered jumping down from the tree,

“Hey Sesshomaru. I can land on my own two feet!” I said as he caught me in mid-air then gently put me down. He merely glared before walking away. Today was the day, the day Akitsu comes. We've fought so many demons, and other shard hunters to get where we are now, but what are we here for? To fight a war, to stop a different war, for the jewel. We're using violence to protect something that only causes pain. Why does this jewel exist? Why do people fight over it, humans and demons alike? I wish I could just make it disappear.

“Kagome Get down!” Sango yelled before I was on the ground, Hiraikotsu swinging right above my head.

`So it begins…'
