hanyouxmiko990: Wow, everyone seems to have a lot of enthusiasm…
WaterFire: Haha, Sesshomaru is shy I think, see? There isn't much difference between him and Inuyasha after all, they are both shy about their feelings. And for all who want to know kageyoukai is a title for demons. Kage is Japanese for Shadow and Youkai is Demon. Similar titles are Hanyou and Inuyoukai, Hanyou being Inuyasha/Naraku types, and Inuyoukai being like Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru's father. Wow, long comment, NEXT!

Now for some news! I have created a new email for the purpose of my Fanfic writing. If you have an idea for a writing or anything else that involves my writings, feel free to email me at Also, I have purchased a jump drive so I can work on my writing at school when I have nothing better to do! That means faster completions! Anyway, here comes chapter 6!
Chapter 6: Changed So Much
"Sesshomaru, why are you here?" Kagome asked curiously. Sesshomaru was reluctant to tell her exactly why he had come to find them, but after a moment of silence, he didn't need to tell her anything, Yuuku did it for him.
"We came because we need Inuyasha's help, but Sesshomaru here is too proud to ask" Yuuku said aloud, appearing behind Sesshomaru who proceeded to slash his claw behind him at her, but she disappeared and reappeared behind Kagome.
"Jeez, you're touchy!" Yuuku yelled at him.
"Who're you anyway?" Kagome asked Yuuku as she turned to see her.
"I'm Yuuku of the Kageyoukai, nice ta meetcha!" Yuuku beamed, bowing a greeting to Kagome.
"Uh…Likewise Yuuku, I'm Kagome" Kagome introduced herself, awkwardly bowing back to Yuuku. All this time, Sesshomaru waited patiently for Inuyasha to return to the top of the cliff. His patience paid off a minute later when Inuyasha came running up the cliff and jumped, landing next to Kagome.
"So, what do YOU want?" Inuyasha snapped at Sesshomaru.
"That's not your problem, but you are coming with me." Sesshomaru demanded.
"Like hell I will!" Inuyasha growled back. Both of them were ready to fight each other until Yuuku stepped in between them.
"Whoa! Calm down! You two are definitely related, you are both hot-blooded!" Yuuku commented, "Now sit down and lets talk this over!"
"I agree with her Inuyasha, let's hear them out at least." Kagome said. Inuyasha scoffed at Sesshomaru and sat down on the ground near Kagome with a childish pout. The three of them sat down as well and Yuuku explained the situation to them.
"That Naraku! How many times is he going to involve innocent people in his plots!" Inuyasha yelled.
"No kidding!" yelled a familiar voice from a distance away, in a bush, "OOPS!"
Sesshomaru stood and walked towards the bush, drawing the Tokijin as he did. Right before he struck, a man, woman and child jumped out of the bush.
"Hey hey, it's only us!" said the man in a panic. Sesshomaru recognized them instantly as friends of Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango and Shippou. He sheathed the Tokijin and walked back to the others.
"What you say sounds like a trap…" Inuyasha said after thinking for a moment.
"I don't care, I will kill Naraku as soon as I see him, so he won't get the chance to pull anything" Sesshomaru said cooly.
"No way, I will be the one to kill him" Inuyasha yelled.
"Don't fool yourself, you don't have the power to kill Naraku, I will do it." Sesshomaru replied.
The two half-brothers were on the brink of a conflict again when Miroku spoke up.
"It doesn't matter who defeats Naraku, just as long as he is stopped." Miroku said after moving to near Kagome and Yuuku where it was safe.
"That's right" Yuuku agreed, unaware of what would soon occur. Miroku loomed closer to the unexpecting youkai when he pulled his infamous butt rub on her.
"YAHHHH!" Yuuku yelled, "What the hell do you think you're doing!"
"I'm sorry, it's just that a pretty girl such as yourself is too much and I couldn't control myself" Miroku made up an excuse, "By the way, I would like to ask you a question. Would you consider bearing my children?"
Sesshomaru heard this and ran past Inuyasha and grabbed Miroku by the collar.
"What makes you think a kagetaiyoukai such as her would bear the children of a weak human such as you?" Sesshomaru asked coldly as he held Miroku suspended in the air.
"She is a youkai?" Shippou and Sango asked in unison.
"Uh, Sesshomaru, I don't think they will help if you kill their friend…" Yuuku said, embarrassed. Sesshomaru released Miroku, dropping him to the ground and turning away from them.
"What's with him, I've never seen him act like that towards anyone. About anyone for that matter…" Inuyasha whispered to Kagome, which gave her an idea.
"Think he…y'know, has feelings for her?" Kagome whispered back to him.
"Sesshomaru? Not likely…" Inuyasha replied.
"I don't know, did you see how quickly and intensely he reacted towards Miroku when he asked her to bear his children? That seemed like jealousy more than rage…" Kagome whispered as she glanced at Sesshomaru.
"Hm." Inuyasha grunted as he thought to himself.
For the next few hours, the group discussed how they were going to find Naraku and save Rin. Eventually they began to get tired, and one by one they fell asleep in a camp they had set up on the cliff, with the exception of Sesshomaru and Yuuku who where both near the edge of the cliff. The two of them were in complete silence until Yuuku spoke.
"Thank you for earlier…Sesshomaru" Yuuku said, but she did not receive a reply, "Sesshomaru?"
"I just don't want to see any more hanyou in the world, my brother and Naraku are bad enough." Sesshomaru said to her simply.
After hearing that line, Yuuku's heart seemed to become gloomy and her face sunk.
"Is that really all?" Yuuku asked him.
"I hate Hanyou and Humans…" Sesshomaru said coldly.
"What about Rin?" Yuuku asked, pulling her legs to her chest. She hadn't realized how cold it was up on the cliff, and with each passing moment it was getting colder.
"Rin is the only exception, she is different from other humans" Sesshomaru said. Yuuku looked down the cliff, shivering from the cold crosswind. She was thinking when she felt something wrap around her. She looked up to see Sesshomaru standing above her, bare chested. He had his kimono-top wrapped around Yuuku's shoulders to shield her from the cold.
"Get some sleep, I need to think to myself for a while." Sesshomaru said as he walked away from her, toward the forest they came from. Yuuku smiled warmly to herself, that one act of kindness from Sesshomaru made her feel that he cared about her. She stood and walked back to where Inuyasha and the others slept. She lay on the ground and fell asleep, smiling and holding the kimono top around her tightly, the last thing she remembered was the smell of Sesshomaru lingering on the kimono.
Sesshomaru stood in the forest, looking at the full moon above his head, wondering how he could have changed so much since the time when his father died. Before then, he was a cold, harsh, heartless Inutaiyoukai who wanted power and nothing more, and despised humans above anything else. Now after all that time, he was no longer as heartless as he thought, and he was beginning to hate humans less and less.
"I wonder if that is for the better or worse.." Sesshomaru said quietly to himself. He stood quietly in the forest for quite some time until he returned to the camp and sat next to where Yuuku lay and fell asleep sitting up with his hand resting on the top of her head.
