Due to spacing issues and the fact that I can't keep track of my work, I am posting all my work. I will try to update them quickly all while fixing and updating my old ones.

How do you numb your skin after the warmest touch?

Blinded by anger and hurt Kagome tried running into battle unprepared. She was soaking wet from the cold rain, and her face was flush, and her bow was slippery. She slid on her feet through mud ready to bust through to the battlefield, and she would have made it to if he hadn't wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Miko," His fang showed at his bark at her,

"Ggg, let go!"

"You are angry and ill-prepared to fight the halfbreed, and I will not waste my time saving you again woman."

She was panting but slowly the heat from his skin against her bare tummy oddly began to calm her.

"Whatever the half breed has done this time, Miko, it is not worth dying for."

She shook her head and shivered, the cold now settling on her "I'm sorry," She said, and he felt her relax a bit, he loosened his hold but not fully trusting: he did let her go.

She looked up at the rain, and Sesshomaru followed suit and found the soul stealers flying away.

"She is cold; you are warm if you wish to stay that way I suggest you forget my brother."

Her power snapped at him "I'm not in love with him!" She yelled, gripping her bow tight. "I wish people would stop with the pity party!"

"You mistake my tone, to pity you would imply that I care about your feelings, I do not."

"Really, because you seem awfully worried whether I live or die right now?"

He released her "You are the Shikon Miko, it would benefit me for you to live."

Of course, after all, to her, at least it seemed her life was all about benefiting other people, and she was about sick of that too. He watched something flash in her eyes, and her fire was gone, and back was her sadness, he had said something that hit a nerve "What has the half breed done then?"

She looked at him, why did he want to know? "He looks at me with pity, he still sneaking around like he is cheating, we were not even ever together! I just want people to stop treating me like I'm some lovesick puppy."

She turned from him and pulled out an arrow, "And I'm sick of being here for everyone else benefit Sesshomaru, so screw you too!"

She marched through the bushes and out to the field were Naraku was waiting. Sesshomaru stood there with a raised eyebrow at her brave outburst. At least the Miko was being honest now; he hated fake. He looked down at the arm that had been wrapped around her waist. She had been so warm, and her power untrained tingled at his skin. He felt it as soon as he made contact with her and it was still lingering against his skin. He made a first and rose his aura trying to erase her holy power on his power but even as the tingling left him the warmth did not.

"What the fuck are you doing way over here a little out of realm ain't you?" Inuyasha voice spoke.

"Do you kiss your mate with that mouth half breed."

Inuyasha sputtered,

"Foolish, did you think to hide it from me, as if I would care?" He spoke,

"What are you doing here and where is Kagome, I smell her."

"Not that I must explain myself to you but I dropped my ward off with the elder Miko," He turned "Come Kagome is fighting Naraku with the slayer monk,"

But Inuyasha stood there as his brother walked away. That was the first time ever that his brother had spoken Kagome's name. Inuyasha though didn't make to much of it and followed his brother into battle, the one they really needed to win and now.

Miroku's hole was getting bigger. Sango's brother was dying. Kikyo was fading, and hearts were breaking.

It needed to be finished.

Kagome shivered as both bothers joined them on the field.

"Thanks for joining us Inuyasha," Miroku snapped,

"Yeah yeah," He said, pulling out his sword.

Kagome's eyes met Sesshomaru's, and he slightly narrowed his own at her, letting her know that he had not forgotten her little outburst.

She was going to pay for that later, but right now they had to focus on the task at hand. Of course, his aura was still sticking to her like the warmth of his arm had. She flexed her power letting him know but he just pushed back, unlike Inuyasha he was an alpha male, and she was nothing more than a human female who needed to learn how to control her power, or more of respect him.

Of course, she was stubborn; he was sure she had gotten that from being with his brother too long.

She was an alpha female, but she wasn't his alpha female, and as of an hour ago, this was not his pack, and she wasn't his mate.

He pushed again, so hard that he saw her sidestep.

He smirked and drew out his sword. Now that the bitch was in place it was time to put the evil half breed 6 feet under and into ash with no hopes of return, ever.
