Chapter 1

The leaves swayed lightly in the calm summer breeze. The clouds overhead rolled by gently as the sun peeked over them, and the morning dew slowly rolled of the grass. It was another beautiful day in the feudal era. That was the thought on anyone's mind. Well, everyone except for a very angry hanyou.

"Inuyasha," Kagome pleaded. "We need a break, even if we do find Naraku, there is no way we could fight him if we haven't had the proper rest." Inuyasha didn't seem to hear, or he did hear but just wasn't listening. "Inuyasha, Kagome is right" said Miroku. "Us weak mortals are no match for your demonic strength." Inuyasha just continued walking. Kagome had had it. "Inuyasha....SIT!" Inuyasha managed to raise his head from the life size crater he had just created in the ground. "What the hell was that for Kagome?!" Kagome merely set down her backpack and sat on a nearby boulder. She sighed and looked up at the clouds. Inuyasha by then had picked himself out of the crater and huffed. "Fine, but in a few minutes we are off again." and he then jumped into the nearest tree.

Kagome fingered the Shikon Jewel hanging around her neck. She glanced down at the shards they had managed to gather and sighed. I wonder how many more of the shards there are yet? she thought. She knew that Kouga possessed two and there was also the one planted in Kohaku's back, as well as the numerous amounts that Naraku had, but did he have all of them? Or were there some still remaining that even Naraku had yet to find?

For two years I have been here, and I am still on the same quest. Will we ever find them all? she sighed again. I guess I have no room to complain, after all, I am the one who broke it. So it is my duty to gather them all up again.

Kagome took out her water bottle and took a sip. Right after that, they were off again. They walked right till sundown, and after that did not move another step. They all sat around the campfire for a few minutes till Kagome had finished cooking the ramen. She then poured equal amounts into separate bowls, and before she handed them out, Inuyasha had already snatched his and almost had it all eaten too.

She shook her head then handed the remaining bowls out to Shippo, Sango, Miroku and herself. They quietly ate their meal and shortly after, Shippo curled up with Kirara and fell asleep. Sango was getting ready to head for the hot springs and have a bath. Soon after she left, Kagome noticed Miroku was no where to be seen. Soon after, a loud slap was heard and she laughed quietly to herself.

Inuyasha leapt up into a high tree and closed his eyes. Kagome sat and watched the fire for a few minutes then she rolled out her sleeping bag and soon she was lost in the immediate darkness that surrounded her.

The next morning she lay there waiting for Inuyasha to start yelling and demand she get up and make breakfast, but this morning was different. She awoke not to Inuyasha's rude awakening, but the sound of swords clashing. She peeked open one eye and seen Inuyasha's red robe and another familiar attire. After looking it over a few more times, she recognized it as Sesshoumaru's. She slowly sat up and shook her head. Here we go again. Over the past two years, the battles exchanged between the half brothers had got less interesting every time.

Now no one really cared anymore and acted as if it was nothing. She looked over at Sango and Miroku and seen that they were still sleeping. She laughed quietly, lucky. She then got up and straightened her pj's. She got out her school uniform and then went and changed behind a tree. Inuyasha's too busy to even think of looking now.

After she was changed she went and put her pj's back into the bag and then decided to make breakfast to avoid the yelling from Inuyasha that would surely come after he supposedly won his battle with Sesshoumaru. As she waited for the water in the pot to boil she decided to watch the battle. Sesshoumaru had just swung his Tokijin at Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga and another clash was heard, then Inuyasha released a Wind Scar attack and missed the target horribly. Sesshoumaru retaliated with a Dragon Strike, but his attack slightly grazed Inuyasha's shoulder. Kagome returned to making the ramen and set it in the bowls again and let them cool off.

She watched the battle yet again with the smallest amount of interest. They repeated the same process over and over. Inuyasha and Wind Scar, Sesshoumaru dodged it then he attacks and wounds Inuyasha slightly. She grew more tired as she watched the battle more. That was until the repeated process was broken.

Sesshoumaru had sent out a Dragon Strike attack which Inuyasha had dodged but then Sesshoumaru brought out his whip and slashed Inuyasha right across his chest. Inuyasha groaned in pain, and was on his knees. Sesshoumaru whipped Inuyasha's hand and Inuyasha let go of Tetsusaiga. The sword flew to Inuyasha's right and landed a few feet away from Kagome. Kagome, seeing that Inuyasha might lose or even possibly change into his full demon, ran to his sword and picked it up. Sesshoumaru however seen this and turned the whip to Kagome. She turned just to see it coming her way and prepared herself for the pain.

The whip slashed her right across her torso. She screamed in pain and fell backwards onto the ground letting go of Tetsusaiga in the process. " Kagome!" screamed Inuyasha as he stood up. He ran towards Sesshoumaru and yelled "Get away from her you bastard!" and he then shot out a Blades of Blood attack. Sesshoumaru easily side stepped it and ran towards where the Tetsusaiga lay on the ground. He picked it up and then ran into the forest. Inuyasha was stunned "Damnit! He has my Tetsusaiga!" he stood there for a moment then thought of something disturbing. Tetsusaiga's barrier didn't reject him!
