~Sesshoumaru's Castle~

It was in the pre-morning hours before the sun was do to come up, when the Great Sesshoumaru turned over and stretched in his giant silk covered futon. His sheets were royal purple and silver trim with a big crescent moon in the center, with silver and royal purple pillows. Pulling back the sheets and got up off the futon and walked over to his closet and got a fresh white haori and hakama's {his normal color he always wears} went to bathe and got dressed along with his armor and placed his swords to adorn his left hip. He just got done when a knock sounded at his chamber door. He sighed sensing that it was his retainer.

"Enter, Jaken!" As he opened his balcony doors and walking out onto his balcony, and eyed over his lands and seeing a light bluish mist covering the ground as it does every morning several hours before the sun starts to come up. A slight breeze ruffled his long silver hair bringing with it the scent of his hanyou half brother and his group. Growling "So, the half breed and his group is still on my lands." As his retainer stepped up to him and bowed down in greeting.

"Good morning, Lord Sesshoumaru! Did my master sleep well?" Jaken said as he stood back up.

Sesshoumaru turned and glared at the stupid toad "Why would this Sesshoumaru not sleep well?" He walked back into his chamber and shut the balcony doors and walking to his chamber door and opened it to go down to eat breakfast.

"Jaken, go wake up Rin and get her bathed, and dressed and down to the dinning hall, we're scouting my lands today and leave soon. So, be quick about it." and down the hall. Jaken followed out into the hall then turned and shut the door to his master's chamber and went to wake up Rin. "I wish master would get rid of that child!"

~Inuyasha's Camp~

Kagome woke up before anyone else. She unzipped her sleeping bag and eased out so she would not awaken Shippou or the others. Once she was out of the confines of her sleeping bag she walked over and rekindled the campfire and put more wood on the fire. Then, she picked up the bowls and the cooking pot and quietly slipped out of camp to wash them and the chopsticks and get some water to once again make everyone's favorite breakfast which is a hot cooking pot full of beef ramen. While thinking "When I go home I'm going to buy some other stuff to cook for breakfast along with more ramen." She was so into washing the bowls and things as well as getting the water that she almost did not notice that the wind picked up and to notice a certain wolf prince leaning against a tree until he spoke up. "What a beautiful sight to behold in the morning!"

Kagome looked up "Good morning, Kouga!" Kagome smiled.

"Good morning, Kagome. What are you doing out here alone? Where is that worthless, mutt face, Inu-trasha?" Kouga asked looking around.

"I came out to wash these bowls and things and get water to make breakfast and his name is Inuyasha not Inu-trasha! You know you really should go before Inuyasha comes and..." Kagome was not able to finish before a very loud mouth cut in.

"Fucking, wimpy wolf, what are you doing here? Get away from Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled pulling out tetsusaiga.

"Make me mutt face!" Kouga taunted.

Kagome, come here!" Inuyasha demanded.

Kouga wrapped his arm around Kagome "That is no way to speak to a woman, you many mutt!"

Inuyasha ran over and yanked Kagome out of Kouga's arm and pushing her behind him roughly and falling to her hands knees skinning them. "Oww" Kagome said as she looked at her hands and knees.

Kagome stood up eyeing the two "INUYASHA SIT!"

"Oww, you wench." Inuyasha mumbled from the ground, as he ate dirt.

Kagome walked past Inuyasha and up to Kouga "Kouga, you better go! Thanks for stopping by." Kouga reached for her hands and squeezed them while bringing them to his lips. "Oww!" Kagome cried.

Kouga looked down at her hands and turned the palms to were the scratched were facing up to see them not bad but were bleeding. His eyes turned red and headed towards Inuyasha "Mutt, what's the big idea on hurting, my Kagome? Hmmm?"

"Kouga, please don't! Just go. I don't want any trouble please. These are just tiny scratches they will heal." Kagome pleaded.

"Feh! If you had not of come or wrapped your arm around her then it would not of happened." Inuyasha yelled inching closer.

"Inuyasha SIT!" She looked at Inuyasha and then back to Kouga. "Please Kouga, if you stay the more he'll get mad."

"Alright Kagome, I'll go but I be checking up on you!" Kouga leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead before turning to run off towards his tribe. At this moment and time Inuyasha got up and came over to Kagome and spun her around to face him. "Why did you let him leave?"

"Because he's my friend and he did not do anything wrong!" Kagome glared at him. Inuyasha raised his hand to strike her across the cheek when Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kirara showed up, and Miroku ran over and held Inuyasha's hand where he could not strike his friend, as Sango moved Kagome back away from Inuyasha and stood between them.

"Inuyasha, I don't know what went on here my friend but let's all of us head back to camp and have breakfast!" Miroku said letting go of Inuyasha's hand.

"Feh! Whatever." Inuyasha said heading back to camp. With Miroku following. Kagome turned and looked at the stream. While Sango watched the retreating backs of Miroku and the hanyou. Then she heard Shippou speak up.

"Kagome, look at your hands and knees their bleeding! What happened?" Shippou had tears of concern in his eyes.

"It's nothing, Shippou. I just tripped is all when Inuyasha jerked me away from Kouga and pushed me roughly behind him.There just scratches, they will heal. No big deal." She said trying to smile at Shippo. Sango turned and saw what Shippou saw.

"Shippou dear, would you watch over Kagome while I'll go and get a change of clothes and the first aid box?"

"Sure, Sango-chan!" Shippou cheerfully said. Sango picked up the cooking pot went and filled it with water then came back and picked up the bowls and chopsticks and headed back to camp. Getting back to camp Sango handed the cooking pot and bowls and chopsticks to Miroku. Miroku took them as Sango continued to the yellow bag. She pulled out 8 bags of ramen and tossed them to the monk for him to cook as she pulled out a lavender dress that would stop five inches above the knees and she grabbed the first aid box, towels, body soap, and hair soap. Then turned to go back but stopped by the trees.

"You two, better stay far away from the stream or you'll be sorry!" Sango said tapping her boomerang on her back. Then left. When Sango got back to the stream she set the stuff down. "Shippou, would you go and help Miroku cook the breakfast while Kagome bathes and I dress her scratches?"

"But, Sango, I wanted to stay but oh alright! I'll meet you both back at camp?" Shippou said.

Kagome took off her clothes and walked into the stream and dived into the deep part and came up to wash. She looked at Sango and saw her eyes have that look to them that said she had questions to what happened. After washing she came out of the stream and sat by Sango. While Sango was treating the scratches Kagome talked. "There was nothing wrong. We were talking. Kouga showed up while I was washing the dishes. Then, Inuyasha showed up and everything went down hill fast. I just wish I knew why he tried to strike me. He never tried to do that before. So why is he now?"

Shippou showed up when they were talking "Sorry, Kagome, Sango. But Miroku sent me to tell you that breakfast is ready and if you want any before Inuyasha eats it all to come and get it now!" Shippou said.

"Go ahead, Sango go eat and take Shippou with you. I would like to be alone right now please, and when you get back to camp tell Inuyasha not to came after me at all. I need time away to think without him breathing down my neck." She stated.

"But Kagome, you need to eat as well!" Sango protested.

"I'll be fine. Now you, better go before all the food is gone!" Kagome hugged both Sango and Shippou.

"Alright, if your sure!" With that Sango left taking Shippou. Kagome watched both Sango and Shippou walk back into the woods and headed back to camp. Kagome then spoke to herself "Well since, Inuyasha was being a jerk and I don't want to be around him just yet I'm going to make the best of it and explore." She walked diagonally along the stream into the compound and to her right was a rickety old bridge that was discolored from the fire long ago. The bridge lead to a open field that reached to the stone wall. It looked to have statues and fountains. Then, she looked to her left and saw the outline of foundation of a huge building. Kagome decided she was going to walk the field and look at the statues and fountains. So, she turned to her right and timidly stepped up to the bridge to test it, and seeing it was ok she walked over it. Little did Kagome know she had two pairs of little eyes watching her before turning back to head to camp to let Sango know where she was.

Many hours had pass when Kagome came to a bench and sat down and looked at her watch "Wow, it's about time for lunch, and Inuyasha will be getting impatient for the food to get cooked. I should let him suffer a while but no if I do I'll won't here the end of it." So she stood up and headed back to camp.

~Back at Camp~

Inuyasha was pacing back and forth with his arms crossed over his chest "Where is that wench? Does she even know it's time for her to be here cooking lunch already!"

"My friend, Kagome will be here." Miroku said trying to get Inuyasha to calm down.

"Half Breed, why are you still on my lands?!" Sesshoumaru said while he looked around eyeing everyone and noticed that their group was minus one person.

"So, we are still fucking here, you arrogant bastard!" Inuyasha yelled. That's when Rin came out from behind Sesshoumaru and stopped and looked around, and drooped her head down then looked up at Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, where's Kagome-chan? Rin wants to see Kagome-chan!" Rin said puffing out her bottom lip.

"Where is your miko?" Sesshoumaru demanded the hanyou.

"Feh, I don't have to tell you any damned thing!" Inuyasha barked out. "Well apparently, she's not here, so why don't you do all of us a favor by leaving!"

Miroku walked up and laid a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder "Ah Inuyasha, Do you think that is wise seeing as we are on his lands!" Inuyasha brushed the monk's hand off.

Sango spoke up "Sesshoumaru-sama, may I speak?" Sesshoumaru looked her way and gave her the slightest of a nod for her to speak. "You see, Kagome has not been back to camp since we walked in on a heated argument where Inuyasha was going to strike her. She has not even come back to eat anything and the argument was early this morning."

"That's alright, Sango, I'm here now!" Kagome said as she walked into the campsite.

"Kagome-chan!" A happy Rin said running up to Kagome and wrapped her arms around her waist.

"Hello Rin! Have you been a good girl?" Kagome asked.

"Yep Rin's been good." Rin smiled.

"About time wench! Start cooking our lunch!" Inuyasha said in an impolite way.

"Or what you'll do what you did to me when Kouga stopped by to see me?" Kagome pointed to her bandaged knee's and raised her hands. Inuyasha growled and took a step forward when Sango grabbed her boomerang and came in front of him. Kagome looked down at Rin and Shippou "Rin, Shippou would you like to come with me to get the water and help me to get the food started?" Sesshoumaru just stood there and looked from the miko to the hanyou and back again with a emotionless face.  

"Sure Kagome!" They both said. As Kagome got her trusted cooking pot and nine packs of ramen since Rin, and Sesshoumaru were there. Then turned and headed to the stream.

"Kagome-chan can Rin carry that?" Rin pointed to the pot. Kagome nodded and handed it to Rin as they walked back to camp.

Well, they came back to camp and cooked the ramen. Everyone ate except Sesshoumaru and Jaken whom now was sitting by his master. After lunch was ate and everything was washed Kagome took Rin and Shippou to where Kagome saw the fountains. While there, they played hide and go seek and also tag and now they were laying down on the grass and had fallen asleep.  

Back at camp Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were glaring at each other. Sango and Miroku were sitting there shaking their heads at the two brothers.

Sango stood up and said "Miroku, I'm going to go check on Kagome and the children." Sango said and she left but not more that ten minutes passed when she came running back into camp and ran over to Kagome's yellow bag and pulled out Kagome's camera and said "Everyone come quick but make no sound. Hurry!" Everyone jumped to their feet and ran after Sango. Sesshoumaru drew tokijin to be ready to use it if need be.

When they all got to where Sango lead them they saw Kagome and the children laying in the grass with Shippou and Rin laying in each of Kagome's arms. Each child had their heads on Kagome's chest and arms laying on her stomach and her arms around them. Upon seeing the picture laid out before them Sango clicked the button on the camera and took a picture. Sesshoumaru put away tokijin and stared at how peaceful the children and miko looked in each other's arms.

Inuyasha crossed his arms and said "Yea, so, what's the big deal?" Then turned and walked back to camp. Miroku smiled and suggested that they let them sleep a little longer as he and Sango walked back to camp as well.

Sesshoumaru and Jaken as well turned and started walking but Sesshoumaru stopped and looked back then called Jaken. "Jaken! I want you to stay here and keep your eye open for any danger!" Then he continued on back to his half brother's camp.

"Yes, Milord!" Jaken said as he walked closer to the sleeping trio.

Back at the camp Sango and Miroku was trying to get Inuyasha to go out and catch some wild game for dinner and was proving rather difficult.

"Look, Inuyasha, if you want to eat then you'll go out and catch something! Besides I want to give Kagome a night off from cooking for us and surprise her with dinner for a change! A deer or a few rabbits would be very nice." Sango said.

"Well, feel free to look yourselves. Why should we give her a night off? The only thing she's good for is Jewel detecting and cooking!" Inuyasha continued to sit by a tree.

"My friend, she is good at detecting shards yes and she's a wonderful cook but have you clouded your mind of all those times she's faced demons that had shards and that we as well as you have gotten our asses kicked by them and she comes and uses her arrows and defeated them and we can't forget how loyal she is to give up her era, and family to help us! Along with putting up daily with you always putting her down, and how jealous you get when she talks to Kouga-sama or any guy or person other than you or us, being compared to a dead miko that you still love and see almost every night, as well as hurting her physically sometimes! No, my friend, I and Sango believe she needs time off!" Miroku rambled off how he felt.

"Well if, Kagome had not of..." Inuyasha was cut off from speaking when two fairly good sized dead rabbit's were thrown on the ground in front of the monk and the exterminator and hanyou. The trio looked to see that the rabbit's were gutted but not skinned and turned to see Sesshoumaru give them a icy glare before he sat back down. Sango took and skinned the rabbit's as Miroku speared them and set them over the fire. When a load "AAAAAAHHH" came through the trees coming from the direction that Kagome and the children were. Everyone jumped up and bolted to the field to see Kagome laying down frozen in fear with the two headed dragon Ah-Un looking down into the eyes of Kagome and Shippou. Shippou's fur was sticking up everywhere like a porcupine. They could now hear what was being said.

"Kagome-chan, this is Ah-Un. You would not hurt Kagome-chan or Shippou-chan." Rin said nuzzling Ah-Un's neck and giving them hugs.

"Yea well, I'd rather wake up with Sesshoumaru in his huge white dog form showing his fangs and growling when I woke up and not this dragon. At least with the dog form I would know somewhat of what to expect since I've seen him up close like that before but I know not of this dragon like you do Rin!" Kagome said still laying there. While Rin walked Ah-Un a little ways away and came back to Kagome.

"Ah-Un wakes Rin up like this all the time. Kagome-chan and Shippou-chan come pet Ah-Un." Rin pulled the older girl and put Kagome's hand out so Ah-Un could smell her hand. They in turn licked her hand and nuzzled their noses to her side.

"We better get back to camp before Sesshoumaru gets worried about you and the others over Shippou and I." Kagome took ahold of Rin's hand as Rin grabbed the reins of Ah-Un. When they turned they saw everyone their. Sango and Miroku were snickering.

"What are you two laughing at may I ask?" Kagome looked at Sango and Miroku but stopped walking as she looked and saw Sesshoumaru. "Rin, don't you want to walk back to camp with Sesshoumaru?" She looked to see the girl nod so she pointed to Sesshoumaru then walked over to Sango

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin had fun with Kagome-chan and Shippou-chan. But, Kagome-chan did not like Ah-Un waking her and Shippou. I think, they're afraid of Ah-Un but they would not hurt Kagome-chan or Shippou-chan would they, Sesshoumaru-sama? But Kagome-chan speaks weird saying that she'd rather wake up with Sesshoumaru-sama in a huge white dog form showing her your fangs and growling that then she would know what to expect because she'd seen you that way before. Kagome-chan is so funny because Sesshoumaru-sama can't turn into a huge dog can you, Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin said in a big long breath. Sesshoumaru just looked at his ward from the corner of his eye and walked to the camp of his half brother's.
