They all sat around the fire in the middle of the day. The watched the slow simmering of packaged noodles. It still amazed them, even though they've seen the noodles cooked many times before, that such a delicious food could come in a cup. The future held so many promises.

"Is it ready yet?"

"No Inuyasha. It still has about five minutes left to cook." Kagome sighed at her hanyou friend.

"Make it hurry up! I'm starving!" Inuyasha whined.

"I'm sorry, but I can't. If only I had a portable microwave, then the ramen would of been ten minutes ago."

"What is this microwave you speak of Kagome?" Miroku asked.

"Well, a microwave it a machine that was invented to cook food faster than a fire." Kagome explained without giving the who scientific reasoning behind the microwave. If she did, they would be confused beyond hell and back.

"So this microwave is a better version of a fire?" Myoga asked from atop of Inuyasha's head.

"I guess you could say that..."

"Oh, how I wish we could live in your time Kagome!" Miruko sighed. "With all these machines you talk about, there must be some very good ones to help out a man."

"Miruko! You really are a --" Sango started but stopped when she felt her ass received a nice squeeze. She whipped around to face Miruko and slap him across the face. "Like I was saying, you are a very perverted monk!"

"I cannot help what my hands do! They're cursed, I swear!"

"Ah, it's done!" Kagome exclaimed, pouring a portion for each member of the gang into five different bowls. "Be careful, it will be extemely hot."

"AHH! IT BURNS!" Inuyasha's tongue stuck out of his mouth while he waved a clawed hand at it.

"I told you so."

"But it burns!" Inuyasha whined, but soon stopped. His ears perked up and he started to sniff at the air.

"What is it Master Inuyasha?" Myoga asked. "Is it a demon? Should I go..."

"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha growled while cutting off Myoga.

"I see... Then I must be off!" Myoga hopped off of Inuyasha's head and Inuyasha tried to stop him but to no avail.

"You little scum! Running away when danger is near."

"Who said I ran away. I'm right here!" Myoga called from Kagome's shoulder.

"Who is this Sesshoumaru you speak of Inuyasha?" Miruko asked.

"Sesshoumaru is a fowl and evil demon." Inuyasha stated while he ran off in the direction he smelt the demon come from. The gang followed behind him to the best of their abilities. They stopped running once they came to a clearing in the forest they ran through. There on the other side was the demon Inuyasha called "Sesshoumaru." He had long silver hair and wore a white, fluffy boa. That was all Kagome could tell of him from the distance between them.

"Hello, Inuyahsa." The demon coldly said. His heartless voice made shivers go down Kagome's spine. There was something about him that just wasn't right, but Kagome couldn't put her finger on it.

"What do yo want, Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha spat as he said the demon's name. Sesshoumaru slowly walked forward revealing the toad-like demon following behind him. He came into range for Kagome to see what his face looked like. His eyes were a bright golden hue, while his face supported a blue cressent moon upon his forhead and two red strips on either side of his face. Kagome thought he could of had the face of an angel if it wasn't contorted with an evil mask.

"I came to kill you, Inuyasha." the demon stated without a care in the world.

"I would like to see you try!" Inuyasha growled, pulling out his sword, the Tetssaiga. He lunged at Sesshoumaru and the battle between them began. (A.N. - like I said, different... as you can see, he already has the tetssaiga!) The large sword came crashing to the ground, completely missing Sesshoumaru as he easily dodged the blow.

"You will not be able to defeat me, Inuyasha! How can you when your weilding of the Tetssaiga is pathetic! You cannot access its hidden powers and you will die because of it! You are a disgrace to the demon heritage!" Sesshoumaru snarled at the hanyou.

"Wait, how does he know about the Tetssaiga!" Kagome exclaimed after Sesshoumaru's short speech.

"I do not know Kagome. I have never even heard of a demon named Sesshoumaru before, have you Sango?"

"No. I have never heard of him."

"It is unlikely that you ever would." Myoga began. "He is the Lord of the Western lands. He is Lord Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's older half-brother!"

The true identity of Sesshoumaru shocked the group. They continued to watch the battle that Inuyasha was clearly losing. Sesshoumaru was faster than Inuyasha, plus the heavy sword was slowing him down.

"Give up halfling! Hand over the Tetssaiga to a more qualified demon of stature!"

"I will never hand over father's gift given to me!" Inuyasha screamed lunging at Sesshoumaru once more.

"You have no chance of beating me! I am ashamed to share my blood with you!" Sesshoumaru growled.

"I'm soo sorry my existance is bothering you." Inuyasha snarled, sweat dotting his brow.

"Your existance was unwanted. Now die, you fool!" Sesshoumaru began his offensive, attacking Inuyasha with his sharp, clawed hands.

"We have to help him!" Sango cried out. She would of attacked, if her weapon was not broken in their last encounter with Naraku.

"I would use wind tunnel, but I am afriad it would suck Inuyasha in along with his brother."

"Got ya!" Kagome picked up her bow and strung an arrow on it. "Please, hit your target."

Kagome let the arrow fly, her target was Sesshoumaru's heart. The arrow struck with a painful yell. She had missed his heart, but at least she had hit him. Sesshoumaru backed away from them in a giant leap, holding his left arm with his other hand. The arrow struck him in the upper arm, blood pouring out of the wound and stainging his white sleeve.

"You truly are pathetic. Relying on a human girl to save you, my brother." Sesshoumaru glared at Inuyasha, giving Kagome a part of the glare when he said "human girl."

"My Lord! Are you all right?" the toad-like demon ran up to his master.

"Jaken, we leave!" Sesshoumaru hissed at his servant. "Until we meet again, brother. Next time you will die for we will be alone!"

"Well, that was certainly interesting." Miruko commented, sitting by the stream. They had quickly moved from the clearing once Sesshoumaru left to find water to clean Inuyasha's wounds.

"It was. So Inuyasha, he really was your brother?" Kagome asked, wrapping clothe around his chest wound.

"Yes." Inuyasha growled. "He thinks he is better just because he is a full-blooded demon. He despises humans, which is why he despises me."

"He seemed completely cold and heartless to me." Sango said. "He will be a tough apponent in the future, but we will stick by you all the way Inuyasha."

"Let's just hope he doesn't find me alone, like he claimed he would." Inuyasha pulled up his shirt once Kagome finished her job. He was really lucky to have such good friends. He sighed, thinking of why Sesshoumaru truly hated him. He looked over at Kagome, who was the only other one awake. She was stroking Shippo's hair while he slept in her lap. He sniffed the air, and sighed again.

"What is it?" Kagome looked up from Shippo's sleeping face.

"I know how much you like taking baths everyday." Inuyasha stated.

"I'm alright. It's only been about two days from my last one. I'll live."

"I'm used to your clean scent."

"Well, I'm completely sorry that I hate bathing in cold water!" Kagome softly yelled at her hanyou friend.

"I was just saying that I smelt a hot spring up the river. Go take a bath. I don't think we'll be leaving anytime soon." Inuyasha said, gesturing towards the sleeping Sango, Miroku, and Shippo.

"Well, thank you for the kind thought." Kagome gently put Shippo on the ground and gathered her things to go to the hot spring. She walked along the river in the direction Inuyasha sent her.

"My Lord, this will hurt, but please bear with Jaken." Jaken shakily said to Sesshoumaru. He grabbed a hold of the arrow and pulled it out of Sesshoumaru's flesh. Blood squirted out of the open wound. Jaken quickly pressed a clean clothe against the wound and began to wrap it tightly to help stop the bleeding. "There my Lord. I am finished."

"Jaken, do you know who was traveling with my brother?" Sesshoumaru asked of Jaken.

"I do not know my Lord. If you wish to for me to find out, I will." Jaken made a low bow.

"Yes, that would be..." Sesshoumaru began. A scent came to his nose, one that he recognized from earlier. "No Jaken. I don't think that will be necessary."

Sesshoumaru pushed himself up from off the ground with his good hand, not bothering to put his shirt back on. He walked towards where the scent was coming from. He quickly came upon it, but stayed out of site so the creature would not notice him. He smirked, it was the girl who shot him in the arm. He looked at the surroundings, a hot spring. 'So she came her to bathe.' Sesshoumaru thought to himself. 'How interesting...'

He watched as she stripped down to nothing and slowly walked into the steamy water of the spring. Her body was amusing to him. He had seen so many naked female demonesses before, but never a naked human girl. Well, he couldn't exactly call her a girl, with her perky breast and curly hair. He was angry to admit to himself that she looked good, but she really did. He licked his lips, this was the perfect chance to exact his revenge.

He quietly made his way around to the other side of the spring, so he had the girl's back to him. He walked up behind and reached outward. He yanked her from the water and held her tightly around the waist with his good arm while he used he weak arm to cover her mouth.

"I would not struggle, if I were you human." he whispered into the girl's ear. She tensed when he spoke into her ear. The voice sounded familar to her, but from where? She continued to struggle, not heeding the warning her captor gave her. All she received for her efforts was the man's deep, cold laugh. "You amuse me human. More than I would like to admit."

She gasped as he pulled her tighter against him. She could feel a buldge at the middle of her lower back. She tried even harder to get away, she did not want to be raped by a man or demon she did not know. Hell, she didn't want to be raped period.

"Your struggling bores me." Sesshoumaru said into her ear before knocking her out. Sesshoumaru carried the naked form of the girl back to his camp where Jaken awaited for his arrivial.

"My Lord!" Jaken called out once he saw Sesshoumaru enter the camp. "What is that you're holding?"

"This, Jaken, is the human girl who shot me with that arrow. She'll be our prisoner for now." Sesshoumaru smirked at the girl in his arms.

"Jaken, get Ah-Un ready. We must leave before my unworthy brother finds this wench is missing."

"Yes my Lord! Right away my Lord!" Jaken scurried about getting Ah-Un ready and taking down what little of a camp they had set up. Once all was ready, Sesshoumaru got onto Ah-Un's back with Kagome still in his arms while Jaken followed suit.

"Ah-Un, to my castle!" Sesshoumaru ordered the two headed beast. The beast lifted off from the ground and headed west. While flying towards the castle, Kagome began to stir. Her eye lids slowly opened and glanced up at the body keeping her warm in the chilly air. Her gasp brought the gaze of the Demon Lord down upon her.

"So, you're awake human?" Sesshoumaru chuckled at his prisoner, especially when she tried to escape and realized they were in the air.
