Kagome snapped out of her thoughts as Shippou came running up to hide behind her clinging to her skirt, with an enraged Inuyasha chasing after him.

"Ahhhh! Save me!" Shippou laughed as Inuyasha barley snatched at him before he skirted off again. Kagome laughed upon hearing Inuyasha growl playfully. 'He really is just a kid at heart' Kagome thought as she watched Inuyasha snatch the kid up and give him a noogie. But who could blame him for being a kid when he was pinned to a tree for fifty years? Kagome sighed as her thoughts once again wandered to Sesshoumaru.

"What are you thinking of Kagome?"

"Ses-OH!" Kagome blushed as she realized her slip. She looked over to see Sango who had a confused look on her face and laughed nervously, "I'll tell you later, ne Sango?" Kagome looked pointedly at the guys and Sango nodded understandingly.

"Does this have anything to do with your behavior lately?" Kagome smiled mysteriously before she ran to catch up with Shippou and rescue him.

"MAMMA! H-help!" Shippou got out between breaths. Inuyasha grinned triumphantly as he tickled the poor kit mercilessly. Everyone decided today would be a 'rest' day so to speak and were taking their time for once. It made for some interesting entertainment. Indeed.

"Sango?" Miroku slowed his pace to that of the exterminators.

She glanced at him warily, eyeing his hands. "Yes Houshi-sama?"

Miroku raised an eyebrow at the tittle, "You can drop the formalities." He grinned at her, "In fact you can drop other things as well if you so wish." He eyed her clothes suggestively and she took his advice.

She dropped her boomerang on him.

Later that night Kagome tossed and turned in her sleep. "Kagome..." A beautiful voice called out to her in the void. Everything around her was black and inky. Kagome looked around her searching for the voice. She tried calling out to it and was shocked to find her voice sounding just like the one who called to her.

"Wha?" A hand went to her throat reflexively and she took a step back startled.

"Do not be afraid." A smiling face slowly appeared in the fog before her.

"Who are you?" Kagome reached out with a shaking hand.

"I am Midoriko. You must listen to me. We have little time here. There is a demon coming your way. Inuyasha has sensed it and is out hunting for it. He will fail. You must find him Kagome. He will be hurt badly. Wake your companions. NOW!" With her last word everything faded and Kagome bolted up in her sleeping bag. With a quick scan of the area she realized Inuyasha was indeed not there. She hurriedly woke a very unhappy Miroku and Sango and told them of the dream. They were immediately on guard.

"I'm going to look for Inuyasha. Stay here with Shippou. It's heading this way. Be ready." She turned to leave when a jolt passed through her body. A vision passed over her mind and she paused. "It has a shikon embedded in its right palm." She ran off, leaving her two shocked companions behind. She didn't stop to think or care of how she knew that bit of information. She just ran. It was about a little less than a mile from camp that she saw him. He was knocked out against a tree. When she got closer the stench of blood invaded her nose.

He was impaled on a branch... Kagome gasped as she saw him. "No." Kagome felt as if the wind had been knocked out of her and she dropped to her knees in shock. Her heart squeezed painfully in her chest as a tear made it's way down her cheek.

When a pair of strong arms wrapped about her she jumped, swinging out at it. She felt it capture her wrist and refused to look up as she tried to struggle away from it. "NO!"

"KAGOME!" She froze, gaining some semblance of her surroundings again. That was Sesshoumaru's voice.... When she looked up she saw the lord standing there, holding on to her. A glow caught her eye and she glanced down to see the Tensaiga pulsing at his side.

"H-how did you..." Her question was left unfinished as he smiled down at her.

"I know everything that happens to you. We share a connection," He bent his head to lick at her neck, "Or have you forgotten so soon?" He smirked at her when she blushed.

"MAMMA!" Shippou came running up to them. Miroku had told him to go after her in case she ran into more trouble. He stumbled in shock when he saw Sesshoumaru holding her so close. Sesshoumaru bent his head slightly and whispered to Kagome so the kit wouldn't hear.

"Go back to your companions. I will take Inuyasha with me. And take this." Kagome looked at him startled and glanced at the dagger he pushed into her hand. "It is laced with poison and should kill the beast quickly." Kagome nodded to him once before running off, grabbing Shippou in the process. They ran in the direction Shippou's nose took them, fearing for their friends. When they were in sight Kagome yelled out to the demon,

"Hey! I thought you wanted the jewel!" Kagome laughed a bit, "Well it's not over there, Baka!" The demon raced towards her. She heard her friends calling out to her but her mind was set on one thing. When the demon was close enough Kagome leapt with unnatural grace, slicing the bear demon across the chest. It howled its pain to the world as the green poison that Kagome instantly recognized as Sesshoumaru's, slowly devoured him. Sango rushed over to where she was getting up from her crouched landing position, instinctively checking her over for wounds.

"Where did you get that?" She was surprised to say the least. Miroku stumbled over to the with the help of Shippou and looked at it closely.

"You know...." Miroku paused and Sango looked at him expectantly, "I have no clue." Sango sweat-dropped and bopped him on the head.

"Kagome...Where's Inuyasha?"

A/N See? I told you I would have one out at least once a day. *big cheesy grin* This is an advance since I know chapters 7-11 might take a bit longer to get out. I'm working on it now though so no worries. I might even add an epilogue if I feel up to it. I've gotten many requests for it but it's really up to my muse. I'd love to hear what you think of the story so far and what I might change to make it better. I am fully open to critiques. ; ^.^ ;
