"I am going to get Kagome."

"We'll go with you." Miroku said.

"No…" Inuyasha looked at them sadly. "I have to do this on my own…"

Miroku smiled and nodded.

"Understood. Send us word if you decide you need help."

And with that Inuyasha jumped into the air and glided off towards the West.

"Damn! It's like going around in circles…" Inuyasha cursed, as he landed onto a willow tree branch.

The Western Lands were not like the normal lands he normally traveled out. There weren't many human villages and more youkai in it. However, if you were on the Lord's bad side, which Inuyasha is always the thorn in Sesshomaru's side. You would find yourself lost and confused. Everything will end up smelling the same; every direction will look the same. You end up just running around for nothing.

"Having trouble Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked down to see a familiar face.

He jumped down and landed beside Kikyo. Inuyasha's face softened and he approached her.

"Kikyo…have you walk these lands before?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever been to Sesshomaru's palace?"

Kikyo blinked and tilted her head to the side.

"I know where it is. But I have never been in there, why?"

Inuyasha took Kikyo's hands in his and stared into her eyes.

"Please take me there."

"I thought you hated your brother." Kikyo looked up at him giving him no emotion or care.

"Kagome is missing…" Inuyasha started to back down, but he then forced himself to speak. "The last scent next to Kagome's was Sesshomaru. I must reach him."

"What is so special about Kagome?" Kikyo asked, looking curious.

Inuyasha looked away from Kikyo and he started to think real hard.

"Everything…her smile…her laugh. She is more powerful than anyone gives her credit for. She cares for everyone…even if they are youkai or human." Inuyasha looked back at Kikyo and let go of her hands. "She means a lot to me."

Kikyo's eyes widen. She studied his pose. There was no denying it. She never seen Inuyasha be this head of heels for someone. Kikyo knew she fail to have her life back, she knew she fail of always keeping Inuyasha. She could see the love he had for Kagome.

"Do you just love her because she is alive? If you can get Kagome-"

"We already had this discussion…Your no longer the Kikyo I remember. Kikyo died, a long time ago. I have grown, and I am moving on…"

Kikyo couldn't believe the words Inuyasha was saying. Kagome had did more than Kikyo could ever do for Inuyasha. Inuyasha was now proud being a hanyou. He gave up the chance of being a full fledge youkai. Inuyasha was a full youkai, inside.

"I shall take you…"

Episode Two:

The Glowing Gates

In the eyes of Sesshomaru Kagome was being treated properly. Everyone bowed gracefully, treating her as if she was already Sesshomaru's Queen. But the moment Sesshomaru had turned his head Kagome would get nasty looks from the servants and even got spat at. Kagome was even scared to even eat her dinner, scared that they might poison it. Kagome had skipped breakfast entirely, locking herself away in her chambers, staring at a mannequin that stood at the edge of her bed. On it was a several layered Kimono. Kagome's Wedding kimono.

It was beautiful, kagome had to admit it. But she glared at it with hatred. The words of last night's dinner still stung in her head.

"This is nothing more than a business arrangement Onna. Rin is eight years old. You are here to be her mother, to train her as a lady. You will also train her in your art. Once Rin is 16 and can handle her own in battle I will then mark her."

"Mark her?"

"She will carry my mark, my scent. Making her a youkai. She will not be full blooded, but she will carry certain traits of mine. Only then she'll be my real daughter. After becoming a youkai she and I will have no use of you. I will then settle and divorce and you are free to do whatever you wish."

'Hmph!' Kagome snorted. 'And here I thought he wanted to marrying me because I am pretty…'

Kagome continued to glare at the kimono, wishing she could just tear it to pieces and throw it into Sesshomaru's face.

All morning her chamber maids begged for Kagome to try on the kimono but Kagome refused. When Kayede got Jedzebel, it was like adding flue to the fire. Jedzebel reached to grab Kagome and pulled her up from bed when a bright glow threw Jedzebel across the room. When Jedzebel inquired where Kagome would get such powers.

"If it hasn't been my training in search for the jewel shards I wouldn't be picking a fight with you."

Then Jedzebel and the chambers maids knew what was around Kagome's neck.

The Shikon no Tama.

The girls didn't know if they should attempt to grab it or run for it. Since they heard of the legend, of the Girl from the Future who had gathered the Shikon no Tama and destroyed Naraku with her own hands, they were scared. Why would there Lord bring a Youkai Killer in his home? Was he mad? The witch could touch them and purify them in an instant. The girls left in a hurry and cried to their Lord, scared and telling him Kagome's angry outburst. Sesshomaru only shrugged it off and said:

"My future wife has power. Power she will add to this Land."

It wasn't until noon, where Kagome sent the servants away with the food, again not trusting them, is when Sesshomaru appeared. He didn't bother knocking. He turned the door knob just enough to break the lock and walk inside as if nothing was wrong. He shut the door and walked over to Kagome's bed.

Kagome had fallen asleep. She had made her nest with all the down feathered blankets and pillows. She was still in her lacey white nightgown. Sesshomaru may not look it, but eyed along her curves and thinking to himself:

'She is a beautiful; Inuyasha was not mistaken for falling for such a tennya.'

But as Sesshomaru was reaching down to touch Kagome, her eyes flew open and she winced tightly into a ball, casting a barrier around her. It hit Sesshomaru's hand with a shock and he stepped back.

"Teme!" Sesshomaru cursed, growling at her. "What are you trying to do?"

Kagome's barrier then slowly faded and she sat up, blinking.

"Oh…I thought you were one of them."

"'Them'?" Sesshomaru questioned, shaking his right hand, trying to get rid of the purifying feeling.

"Your servants. They know I have the jewel and their not fond of the new member of the house hold."

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru, who looked at her as if she spoke another language.

"Never mind…" Kagome went to look away but noticed Sesshomaru's hand still slightly glowing and irrating him.

Without question Kagome got up and grabbed his hand. She looked at it then she closed her eyes and the glow faded away. A cooling sensation then ran Sesshomaru's arm, melting any evidence of pain away.

"Gomen-ne…Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru pulled his hand away and glared down at her.

"You shall call me 'Lord Sesshomaru' or you may use the added –sama suffix."

Kagome turned her back to him.

"I wasn't brought here to serve under you Sesshomaru."

"Demo…you work for me…" Sesshomaru reached out and grabbed a handful of her hair. "So until Rin turns 16, you are mine."

Sesshomaru run his fingers deeper into her hair and he pulled her back, forcing her to look up at him. Kagome yelped and grabbed his wrists then applying the electrical shock.

At first Sesshomaru wasn't letting go, he was use to the short pain so it didn't bother him. Sesshomaru knows she doesn't want to hurt him, she has too much power. However he then let go on his own terms. Kagome then kept her hands around his wrist and she took back the attack like she did before. Once done Sesshomaru pulled away.

"If you're done playing childish pranks we can move on to better things." Sesshomaru turned to see the Wedding Kimono, Kagome got in front of him.

"What are you doing! You can see that yet!"

"And why not? Have you tried it on?" Kagome jumped in front of Sesshomaru, trying to keep him from seeing it.

"Iie…" Kagome mumbled.

"Then put it on."

"You can't see the wedding dress!"

"Why not? This Sesshomaru had picked it out for you to wear."

Then Sesshomaru sensed the miko's aura, fade, and her strength to protect the kimono lost. Kagome turned around and looked at the kimono.

"It's bad luck…for the groom to see the wedding dress…until the Wedding Day." Kagome felt tears in her eyes, but she closed her eyes to keep them from falling. "But I guess it does not matter…this marriage has doom written all over it…"

Sesshomaru, annoyed at her believing such things, but as he watched her aura fade. Where is her normal liveliness she always had with Inuyasha? That fiery passion that kept her fighting no matter what happened around her. Was it because Inuyasha was her passion? A growl began in his throat, making Kagome to turn to him, wincing at his sound.

'I will not let that filthy half-breed win this. He took what was mine…I will take what was his.'

The growl then faded and Sesshomaru looked away from her and the dress, as if bored with it.

"I have important guests over tonight. You will show up, dressed in Japanese fashion. You will not be needed to speak unless you're spoken too. You will be at tonight's dinner, understood Onna?"

Kagome didn't answer.

Sesshomaru then could smell the salt from her tears.

'Why is she crying?' Sesshomaru turned around and saw a single tear falling down her cheek.

He then reached out for her, grabbing her left arm, pulling her towards him. His left hand cradled the back of her head, and his right hand then moved to the center of her back. He made her lean back a bit and he bent down and lick the tear off her cheek. The tip of his tongue followed the tear's path and stopped right at her eye. Both eyes closed, as he placed a soft kissed on her eye.

"There shall be no tears here, Kagome."

And as quickly as that happened he had let hr go and left the room, ordering her chamber maids to come in and dress her for dinner.

"And presenting, Sesshomaru-sama's fiancé, Kagome no Miko-sama, the Destroyer of Naraku!" Jaken screeched, tapping the bottom of his staff on the marble floor.

Kagome walked in, wearing a deep purple kimono with red sew-in sakura blossoms on the sleeves and train of the gown. Her hair was all up, being held by for golden hair-sticks, with a red see through veil, covering the back of her neck and stopping at the center of her back. Youkai, old, young, ugly and deathly beautiful, watched her enter the room. None of them bowed, but they did move out of her way, making sure they left enough space between her and them. She walked to the center of the room where Sesshomaru waited for her. He held out his hand, his face, grinning, loving the fact that they were scared of her as much as they were scared of him. Kagome, without thinking, placed her hand gently in his. Sesshomaru then clasps his hand around her's, gently, knowing she is human, and he turned back to the person he was talking too.

It was a lady, about the same age of Sesshomaru, but the same as Kagome's height. She had golden sunlit hair that passed her behind, with blood red tips. She had a mix of golden/brown eyes, with glared down at Kagome with completely hatred. She wore a golden kimono with a red phoenix sewn into the train and up around her stomach, to her chest. She had blue stripes, two of them, coming down her forehead, circling around her eyes by going down her nose but then following the cheek bone.

"And like I said, Aiteru, I am sorry to break off my Father's agreement but I simply cannot give up this divine creature." Sesshomaru turned to Kagome, taking her hand to his mouth, kissing it gently.

Kagome blushed but she noticed in his eyes.

Play along…

Kagome glared at him, but he returned the glare for a quick moment. Kagome sighed and just moved closer to him.

"You are too kind…Sesshomaru-sama…" Kagome said, through her teeth.

But just Sesshomaru holding Kagome's hand was enough to anger Aiteru. The woman started to plan Kagome's death.

"Kagome, this is Aiteru, Lady of the Northern Lands. My Father promised my hand to her if I did not find a more suitable wife for myself. But this Sesshomaru had found the most perfect wife." Sesshomaru looked back at Aiteru, not caring that Aiteru was tearing at the seams.

Aiteru, started to growl, Kagome then guess she was a dog demon, like Sesshomaru.

"But she human!" Aiteru spat, causing the party to quiet down again.

"Then it must be awful for you then…" Kagome pulled out her red fan from her sleeve and opened it, placing it over her mouth. "…to lose to a human."

Sesshomaru murred with laughter at Kagome's comment. He noticed her flame being lit; he knew his kiss woke her up.

Two other youkai laughed along with Sesshomaru, from behind him. Kagome turned to see two men, about the same age and height as Sesshomaru. One was a bat demon, his wings' thumb resting on his shoulders. He had light blue skin and wore a black kimono with the kanji character, 無運(moon), sewn in the train in white. He had short wavy white hair, and a gentler friendlier face than Sesshomaru's.

"Got you a lively one Sesshomaru." He said, bowing to Kagome, taking her hand from Sesshomaru and kisses it gently.

"And a beauty at that. Sesshomaru no fair, I thought you were the beauty of them all." The other was a tan fox demon, having the same puffy like tail has Shippou, but having several.

He had long yellowish, white hair that stopped at his shoulders. He wore light green battling kimono and gear.

Both of them cracked up, Sesshomaru's grin disappeared from his face.

"Kagome…this is Nyakutomoto, the Lord of the Southern Lands." Sesshomaru motioned to the bat demon, then to the fox demon. "And this is Shitipou, Lord of the Eastern Lands. As you can see, they are children compare to this Sesshomaru."

Liking their warm laughter she giggled along with them.

"I don't know Sesshomaru, maybe it's you who should lighten up a little."

Aiteru and Sesshomaru glared at Kagome but the other two demons laughed even harder.

"I love her! Sesshomaru go and marry Aiteru instead!" Nyakutomoto pulled Kagome closer to him. "She is not your type, she's mine."

Sesshomaru then started to growl, the same death growl he gave Kagome earlier.

Kagome turned away from Nyakutomoto and walked to Sesshomaru. She smiled, knowing it was the word 'mine' that upset him.

"It's a joke Sesshomaru." Kagome placed her hands on his chest.

Sesshomaru stopped and looked down at her.

"I was not growling about you." He whispered.

Yes you were.

Kagome looked back up at him.

"Oh? Really?" Kagome narrowed her eyes at him.

She then turned away and walked over to Nyakutomoto. She bowed gracefully.

"Would you like to dance Nyakutomoto-sama?"

"Please call me Kuto!" He took Kagome's hand and they started to walk onto the dance floor.

Sesshomaru then growled again but it was quickly interrupted by a slap on his back by Shitipou.

"So…you are serious about this? She is human after all."

"So you are going to breed and have a hanyou heir? How disgusting." Aiteru moved in closer, to whisper, knowing if Kagome heard or other youkai heard it would get ugly.

Sesshomaru then blinked and he just watched Kagome dance and laugh with Nyakutomoto.

"Our breeding will do as plan, Aiteru. My marriage to Kagome is an arrangement. She not only destroyed Naraku, she also has the Shikon no tama. Our marriage has nothing to do with love. She is he strongest woman, and I must have the strongest."

Shitipou glared at Sesshomaru.

"But was Kagome not with your brother, Inuyasha? He traveled with her for the shards."

Sesshomaru grinned.

"He left her for someone who is already dead. Inuyasha lives by blindingly trusting his heart."

"So…you are going to marry her not for power, but to piss off your brother?"

Sesshomaru looked over to Shitipou, giving him an unreadable expression.

"I am not that childish."

Yes you are.

"It is an agreement Kagome and I have, nothing more."

"She is not so strong. I think you should reconsider." Aiteru hissed, glaring at Kagome dancing.

Sesshomaru grinned, liking to see foolish emotion troubling someone else.

"Why not test her power?" Sesshomaru said simply.

And with that Aiteru started to walk forward.

Kagome quickly turned around, shielding Nyakutomoto, from the attack. Kagome had placed a shield around herself and him. She started up at what hit her shield. It was Aiteru, her sword being thrown back by the shield.

"So this is how you fight? Just placing a stupid barrier up?"

Kagome glared as the barrier disappeared.

"Iie, I can fight but you are disturbing Sesshomaru's party."

"Sesshomaru suggested for me to test your power." Aiteru grinned, showing off her fangs.

Kagome's eyes then shoot bullets at Sesshomaru, who just stood there, grinning.

'So I am just entertainment, eh? Go figures.' Kagome looked back at Aiteru and looked away.

"I don't wish to fight you, it's meaningless."

"Then let's have a meaning. Let's fight for Sesshomaru's hand in marriage. You win, you can keep him. If I win I'll keep him."

Kagome sighed and walked over to Aiteru.

"Kagome-chan that's a bad-"Nyakutomoto tried to stop her but Kagome then darted and grabbed hold of Aiteru's neck.

Aiteru then was paralyzed by Kagome's touch. She couldn't move, it's as if her powers were draining from her.

"As I said, this battle would be meaningless…unless you want me to turn you human stop threaten me." She then threw Aiteru at Nyakutomoto's feet.

Kagome then headed her way to Sesshomaru.

"You have gotten stronger." Sesshomaru said, but before continuing Kagome slapped him across the face once she reached him.

"I am not here to entertain you Sesshomaru!" Kagome snapped and with that she turned and stormed out of the room.

Everyone was quiet, Sesshomaru didn't even know how to react to such an attack, and no one dare to do that besides Inuyasha.

"Now I really like her!" The silence was broken by Nyakutomoto's laughter.

Kikyo looked up at the moon then continued on their path, through the forest. She had been to the palace, all too many times because of being called on by Sesshomaru himself.

Before the battle with Naraku, Sesshomaru started staying more at his palace, because of Rin. She needed great protection. He called on Kikyo to help him with this problem.

"I am cannot guarantee her safety Sesshomaru-sama. After all, you say I am a youkai yourself." Kikyo looked up at him, when he caught her walking around in his domain. "But I can get rid of her scent."

"Hmm? How?" Sesshomaru asked.

Kikyo then came to the palace and ordered Sesshomaru's workers to build a wall. The wall was about 20 feet high and between each 15 feet was a pillar and in the center of the pillar was a hole that cast a purple flame.

"This fire is forever burning. It will burn out the human scent, not even Inuyasha could tell any humans ever lived here. It will also destroy a human's scent at least 50 yards from the gates." Kikyo explained as she cast the last two fire spells in the front gates.

The main gates where craved out of demon bone, giving a stencile shape of a dog demon on the front. The fire was cast in the eyes of the shape, giving live to the creature within the gate.

Sesshomaru looked over at the gate and nodded with approval.

"Sesshomaru." Kikyo got the Lord Dog Demon to look at her. "Who will raise her?"

"This Sesshomaru."

"But you are a man, but a child also needs a mother."

"Then I will marry a youkai woman-"

"Iie. She is human. She needs a human Mother. A youkai mother would kill her because she is not her offspring."

Sesshomaru looked down at her, studying her carefully.

"Then who do you suggest?"

"Why not Kagome? She may not seem it now, but she is stronger than me. Once destroying Naraku, she'll have he jewel and it will return to her, giving her more strength."

"But she is Inuyasha's wrench."

Kikyo glared at him.

"As long as I am here, he will never be her's. And besides, why not take something that was his? He took your sword, take his girl."

Sesshomaru turned away, thinking for a moment, then walked back into his palace.

"If you can make sure you win Inuyasha, then I will take the miko from him."

Kikyo stopped to look up again to see Inuyasha jumping tree from tree, trying to spot the palace.

'I cannot let Inuyasha know…' She thought. 'But why is he searching for her? He cannot be truly in love with her…'

Inuyasha stopped moving and looked down from the branches to see Kikyo looking sadly at him. He sighed and looked away.

'I am sorry Kikyo…my heart is for Kagome now…'

"Okaa-sama! Okaa-sama!" Rin giggled as she pounced onto Kagome's bed.

"Ah! Rin-chan…" Kagome opened one eye to see her adopted daughter nuzzling into the blankets with me. "…it's early."

"You're going to be late for breakfast. You did not eat all day yesterday. Are you sick?" Rin leaned over and let her forehead touches Kagome's.

"Iie, Rin-chan. I am fine. I could go for something…as long as the servants do not try and poison it."

"Never, Otou-sama always checks my food. He does the same to yours, I know, I watched him."

Kagome sat up and hugged Rin to her.

"Why would he do that?"

"He doesn't want to see you hurt, Okaa-sama. He knows the servants don't like you because you killed Naraku. They are scared because they think you might kill them."

Kagome couldn't believe what Rin was saying, how could she? She was speaking about the Cold-blooded Prince. The only answer she could give herself was that Rin never spoke ill about her Lord.

Kagome got up to see Kayede, laying out her gown for today on the Kimono rack. It was another renaissance gown, this time light purple.

"It is about time you got up. I though we lost you to the Sand man."

"Sandman?" Kagome blinked and looked down at Rin.

"Yeah! I said the Sandman had put you under a deep spell because he wanted you all to himself. And that's why you wouldn't wake up when Otou-sama tried to wake you."

"Sesshomaru was here!" Kagome gasped.

"Hai! I told him the only way to awake you from the spell was to kiss you!" Rin giggled.

Kagome's face got suddenly warm. Did he kiss her again?

"Did he?"

"Iie, I happened to walk in at that moment." Kayede explained, smiling. "He then got pink in the face and left, while Rin tried to cheer him on. You have some affect on him, Kagome-sama."

"'Affect'? Me?" Kagome got off the bed, picking up Rin and setting her on the floor.

"Aye, I've taken care of Sesshomaru since he was a wee pup. He was a lot like Rin at her age. Bouncing around, always asking so many questions. Making of stories of horror able demons and him and his Father would pretend to go in and destroy to save Sesshomaru's Mother." Kayede then lead Kagome to the bath and help Kagome undress.

"What was his Mother like?" Kagome asked, helping Rin untie the sash that kept Rin's night robe closed.

Kagome finished helping Rin undress and they both got into the bath as Kayede kneeled behind kagome, rinsing her hair and placing oils and scents in it.

"She was very much like you. She would never let Inutaisho-sama order her around. But she was sweet to everyone, but she wouldn't take negativity from anyone. She was powerful but so very gentle. Their marriage was an arrangement. Inutaisho-sama never wanted to marry her, nor she didn't want to marry him. She would tell me everyday how much she hated him. She would never go to his bed saying she'll never touch such a disgusting man. But one day, both of them got a little drunk and finally had it out against each other. They fought for hours until there was no more alcohol to take in. Then in the morning I found them, in her room, sleeping the day away. Soon after Sesshomaru was born and that woman was in love with that boy." Kayede started to rinse out Kagome's hair again then wrapped a towel around it to dry it.

She pin Kagome's hair up in a bun to keep it from falling back into the water.

"She told me she was in love with Inutaisho-sama but she knew where Inutaisho-sama's heart truly lies. But she was happy when he did return home to her."

"You're talking about Izaori, Inuyasha's Mother?" Kagome turned to look up at Kayede.

She nodded then continued.

"Lady Inutaisho-sama, went to see this Izaori to kill her for touching her husband. Izaori was 16 at the time she first meet Inutaisho-sama. She caught them together, while he was walking Izaori along Izaori's estate. But Lady Inutaisho-sama stopped herself once she found her moment to kill Izaori. She had watched how Inutaisho-sama stumbled and talked funny while around her. He made no moments to Izaori, but she could see he liked her. When Lady Inutaisho-sama fell ill while Sesshomaru was around 18, she told Inutaisho-sama to go to Izaori. But he stayed by her side until the moment she died, but she made him promise he would marry Izaori and to be truly happy. Sesshomaru, who didn't understand the true reasons of his Mother's death, blames it on Izaori, so another reason his hatred towards his brother."

Kagome then got out of the tub, Rin following, and they both dressed, Kagome noticed Rin wore a matching dress to her's.

"Kagome-sama…Sesshomaru had closed up since his Mother's death. Do not blame him for his out-bursts against you. Like I said, you have a strong affect on him. Now both of you go! He is waiting for you downstairs." Kayede hurried them out the door.

Inuyasha sniffed the air, as he stood before the gates.

"Nothing…Kagome scent isn't here." Inuyasha said.

"The guards are fetching your brother, let's just wait and ask him."

Inuyasha looked around through the gates to see servants hurrying around setting up for a party. And fancy guests stroll around the grounds, whispering excitedly about the upcoming event.

"Inuyasha." A cold voice hissed, as the gates open and Sesshomaru walked out to greet his younger brother.

Inuyasha's for instinct was to put out his sword and attack but he didn't have time for that. If he had Kagome…he would have to be nice to get her back.

"Sesshomaru…have you seen Kagome? The last time I picked up her scent was at the Bone Eater's well. I picked up yours, so this is the reason why I am here."

"Ah, so it seems you lost her? I did go to her, for advice. Rin was ill, and I had her come to tend her. She left shortly yesterday. I let her take AhUn to where she needed to be." Sesshomaru looked boredly at him and Kikyo.

"She didn't mention where she was going?" Inuyasha asked, his ears back, to Sesshomaru, he seemed almost wounded.

"Iie. I have been too busy preparing for my wedding. This Sesshomaru is getting married tomorrow."

"Inuyasha…" Kikyo then reached out and took Inuyasha's hand in her's. "…let's not worry. She is safe. Let's us leave Sesshomaru to attend his business."

Kikyo then bowed to him.

"Congratulations Sesshomaru-sama. Best wishes for you and your bride."

Inuyasha looked down sadly.

'Damn it Kagome…'

"Yeah…congratulations Sesshomaru. Hope you're happy." Inuyasha looks to Kikyo, tighten his grip on her hand.

Kikyo looked up at him and smiled.

"Arigato…even thought I am surprised to hear, it means…a great deal to hear it from you Inuyasha. I hope things go for you, for the best."

Inuyasha nodded and turned to leave, in hand in hand with Kikyo.

Kagome and Rin were directed to the entrance to the palace, to where Sesshomaru was. The girls skipped along the hallway, through the front door but Rin stopped and frozen to her spot.

"What's wrong Rin-chan?" Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru outside the main gates, talking to Inuyasha.

'Inuyasha!' Kagome's heart leaped with joy. 'He came for me! He wants me back!'

"….I have been to busy preparing for my Wedding. This Sesshomaru is getting married tomorrow." Sesshomaru said coldly to Inuyasha.

Kikyo then came from the other side of Inuyasha and held hands with him. Kagome's heart stopped.

Kikyo bowed to Sesshomaru.

"Inuyasha….let not worry. She is safe. Let's us Sesshomaru to attend his business. Congratulations Sesshomaru-sama. Best wishes for you and your bride."

Inuyasha lowered his head, in a bad bow? But he looked back up at Sesshomaru.

"Yeah…Congratulations Sesshomaru…hope you're happy."

And with that Sesshomaru gave his finally words, happy with Inuyasha's blessing. And with that Inuyasha walked away, in hands with Kikyo. Sesshomaru turned around and walked back into the gates. They closed and he looked up to see Kagome standing there. He stopped.

"Kagome…" He breathed softly, then started to walk quickly towards her.

"He…he…didn't come…for…me…" Kagome let go of Rin's hand and started to back away from her.

"Okaa-sama…don't cry…" Rin reached back out for Kagome.

But Kagome's eyes were blinded by tears, Kagome could barely see that Sesshomaru was now only right in front of her.

"Inuyasha…"

Sesshomaru quickly scooped her into his arms and he looked down at Rin.

"Go and eat breakfast. I will join you later in the court yard." And with that he left into the palace.
