*Chapter 11*

Kagome and Inu Yasha had made their way back to Kaede's house and the rest of the night went by like it normally does when nothing exciting happens. They ate dinner and then went to sleep in their normal places.

Kagome woke up to the sun pouring into her eyes, she groaned, then roled over and tried to get some more sleep. The more she tried the less it came to her, with a sigh she sat up and prepared herself for the new day. After rummaging through the contents of her bag for a couple of minutes she found what she was looking for. She pulled out the ramen, then quickly got up and started the fire to cook it; she wanted to have breakfast ready by the time everyone got up.

The smell of something tantalizing reached his nose, he stirred in his sleep. Slowly he opened his eyes, stretching his aching muscles, he realized what exactly the smell that teased him was. "RAMEN!!!!" he screamed at the tops of his lungs successfully waking everyone else as he ran from his corner of the room to where Kagome sat. "You letch!" Sango screamed, immediately following the scream was a loud thud as her Hiraikotsu made contact with the monk's head. It was followed by a softer thud of Miroku hitting the floor. Sango had awakened, to her horror, with the monk snuggled close to her with his hand resting on her rear. "Some things never change" Kagome giggled as she handed Inu Yasha his rather large bowl full of ramen.

After everyone had taken their seats to eat breakfast when a knock came from the door. Kaede got up and answered it, when she pulled back the door all the color drained from her face. Kagome noticed this "Kaede, what is wrong?" Before the old woman standing at the door had time to answer, the unexpected guest made his presence known. "I see you have made breakfast. Might you have enough for three more to join you?" The cool unemotional voice streamed through the hut like a seductive melody.

Inu Yasha jumped to his feet and unsheathed the Tetsusaiga, instinctually going into a fighting stance. "What do you want Sesshoumaru? If it is the sword you want, you can forget it. I will never hand it over to you, so leave before I tear you apart."

"I, Sesshoumaru, do not seek the sword at this time. I have simply come to offer my assistance with your search for the shards and to help with Naraku. Now if you don't mind, your actions are frightening Rin." Inu Yasha looked down and what he saw shocked him. There, clutching herself to the demon lord's leg in fear, was a human little girl; her eyes were glazed over with tears that threatened to spill over at any moment. "Keh" is all he said as he put away his sword, keeping an eye on his brother as he did so. 'Something is going on here. This just doesn't feel right, and I intend on finding out what it is' he thought to himself as he grabbed his food and headed over to a corner of the room.

Kagome looked over to the little girl and smiled 'I didn't know he had a child, a human child no less, following him'. "Are you hungry?" She asked the girl holding out a bowl full of ramen. Rin smiled, let go of the demon lord's leg, and took a step closer to the woman holding out the food for her. "My name is Kagome, what is yours?" "Rin" the girl said bashfully, blushing when her stomach growled. Kagome handed her the bowl "you can sit next to Shippo, I am sure he won't mind." Shippo looked up, smiled and patted the space next to him letting her know it was ok for her to sit next to him. Giggling the girl sat down with a plop next to the kitsune, almost spilling the contents of the bowl all over her.

Kagome smiled then turned her attention back to the food. She dished out another bowl then handed it to the ugly youkai she could only assume was that of the toad nature. He grumbled something about "not needing worthless human food" under his breath before taking the bowl and walking over to a wall that was furthest away from everyone before taking his seat to eat. She filled a third bowl, turned to Sesshoumaru and held it out for him. "Here" she said not looking into his eyes, she knew she would get lost in those beautiful golden orbs if she did. He took the bowl, nodded at her in thanks then took his seat next to her; which earned him a growl from Inu Yasha. Everyone ate their breakfast in silence except for the two kids, who were playing more than eating.

Kagome was just about finished with cleaning up the breakfast mess when she noticed Inu Yasha storm out the door. She put down the bowl she had been drying and asking Sango if she would finish for her. Sango smiled and nodded to the girl who was already heading for the door.

She found him in his favorite tree "what's wrong with you?" He looked down at her as if she had grown a third arm. "What do you mean what's wrong with me? Baka! Just in case you haven't noticed my half brother is here and he does not plan to leave. He could hurt any one of us while we sleep." "He is only here to help, and to be honest we could use it." "Keh, I still don't trust him. Which reminds me, what exactly did you two do when you fell into the well with him?"

"What we did is really none of your concern. Quit trying to change the subject, if he wants to help let him." Kagome was now getting pissed 'why can't he just accept help?' "Of course it is my concern, bitch. You still have to find the shards and I can't have you dying on me before it is completed." "So, Inu Yasha, the truth comes out. That is all I am good for to you, your little shard detector! Gods, why do you have to be such a jerk?" A wicked smile slowly started to form on her face, "Inu Yahsa?" "What do you want, wench?" "SIT!" He came crashing to the ground face first. Kagome could hear him mumbling some few choice words at her as she walked away from him.

She had gone back to her bag and grabbed her bathing stuff and had headed off the the lake near by. She sat her stuff on the ground and was just about to peel off her clothes when she noticed a presence near her. "Sesshoumaru you can come out now." She stated cooly. He came out of the shadows and smiled at her, "you know you should do that to him more often. It amusses me!" Her anger still not cooled from the earlier fight she turned to him, cooldly looking at him. "I did not do it to amuse you, now if you are here to do nothing but piss me off you can leave."
