Hi peoples! I kinda got stuck in the middle of chapter 4 of LMP sorryt I t I did get the idea for this. I'm going to try and make them longer chapters but I can't promise any thing. My muse Aoi abandoned me but BA-AH-chan is here. It's a voice (dunno any thing about it, it just tells me to do stuff and I usually listen.) And it's here to help me with this 'un. By the way, countenance is another word for accept and

Infallible is another word for definiteness or never wrong.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha, I never will okay?

Countenance for the Fallible Infallible
Chapter 1
The Wish, The Fight, The Arrangement

~*~~~*~~~*~

Kagome trudged through the forest. Her eyes were dry. She had finished with her tears many miles. Sh. She did not know how far or how long she had been going just that she could not stop. It was over, she had nothing left. The well had been destroyed; she was cut off from her family. Sango and Miroku were staying in Keade's village with Shippou�and Inuyasha. Inuyasha had finally made up his mind. He had chosen Kikyo. He had chosen the corpse, a shadow of a living being over her. The complete Shikon no Tama hung from her neck, nothing more than a useless piece of glass. Her heart had shattered when Inuyasha told her his wish. He wanted he to use the jewel to bring Kikyo back. He wanted her to give up her own soul to the undead miko. His selfishness angered every one. Her friends had remained loyal to her.

~*~Flashback~*~

"Kagome, I know what I want to wish for." He said not looking her in the eyes. The bushes behind him shook as Kikyo stepped into the clearing, a wicked smile plastered on her face.

"I want to bring Kikyo back." He said pulling Kikyo into his chest. Kagome's knees buckled and she fell to the ground in shock. Why? How could he do this to me? He told me he loved me damn it!

"I-Inuyasha�d-do you realize what will happen if I make that wish?" Inuyasha looked down at the ground determined not to look at her. "Inuyasha, if I make that wish, I'll�" she paused not wanting to finish her sentence. Finally she whispered, "I'll die."

Nothing, he just continued to stare at the ground. Absolutely nothing. No embarrassment. No guilt. No apology. He just stood there, wrapped around his dead bitch. "You hate me enough to wish I would die." Her tone was bitter and dripped with malice.

"No Kagome, I don�t hate you, it's just�I love Kikyo." Loves Kikyo? Loves KIKYO? LOVES KIKYO! God damn him! "Very well Inuyasha," she spat out his name like it was poison. "I am prepared to make the wish."

"No! Kagome don�t do it please!" Shippou cried out as he sobbed into Kirara's fur. She was his mother. She couldn't leave him. This was all Inuyasha's fault. "I hate you!" he screeched. "Inuyasha you bastard!"

"Shippou." She said it quietly, so quietly that he almost missed it. "You're to young to be using such foul language. Don�t let Inuyasharuptrupt you."

"B-but Kagome�" he said softly tears streaming down his face. Kagome stood again. She looked around at all of her friends. Sango, the girl she considered her sister was sobbing into Miroku's chest. He was crying too, this surprised Kagome. He was always the calm strong-hearted one, the pillar of strength, voice of wisdom. He never showed his pain, emotional that is. Shippou still on a transformed Kirara's back, sobbing openly. Inuyasha standing with Kikyo. Keade's grave, the body of Kohaku, unburied as of yet. Her eyes went back to Sango her mind made up.

Kagome took a few steps back and clasped the jewel in her right hand. Sango watched as her eyes closed and the jewel began to glow a soft pink, the light surrounding her dear friend. She shouted an anguished no. It seemed as if she hadn't heard her. She had lost her entire family now, except Miroku. When had she started thing of the houshi as family? But that didn't matter now, Kagome mattered now.

Kagome finished the last word of her prayer the pink light burst out and filled the village. Slowly the light faded and Kagome dropped to her knees. She felt weak and strong at the same time. All her friends were looking at her, but Inuyasha was looking at Kikyo. Kikyo was frowning, she didn't feel any different and it seemed that her reincarnation was still living. Every one turned around as the grave sites glowed pink again.

Sango gasped and ran over to her brother's prone form. Nothing had happened to his body. She was glad, she could still bury him properly, and his body wasn�t destroyed from that strange light. But why was his body so warm. She laid her head against his chest. She began to sob again. This time is was out of joy. "Oh gods, thank you Kagome, thank you." She cried while clutching her brother's body. A heart beat. He had a heart beat.

Kagome smiled weakly at her friend. She stood on shaky legs. A strange new feeling coursed through her veins, her very being. Power, she was more powerful than Kikyo ever was. She didn't know exactly where the power came from, just that it was her's. The jewel had released Kagome's miko powers.

Kikyo took Inuyasha's claws in her left hand and slit the back of her arm. Dust and dirt escaped from the wound before it slowly began to close over. The stupid wretch had made the wrong wish.

"Kagome�" Inuyasha said softly. "Why�why don�t you want me to be happy." Kagome glared at him, her aura flaring. "How dare you say that!" she screamed. "How dare you ask me that when your wish is for me to die! Did you ever stop to think WHY Kikyo was obsessed with you becoming human? She just wanted you to wish on the jewel! Then she could be normal, and live a normal life! She never really loved you for who you were she loved you for what you could be! What you could do for her! Open your eyes you idiot!" with that finally off her chest she ran back to the village.

"T-that�s not true, right Kikyo? Kikyo?" he said sounding desperate when she did not answer him. Kikyo was staring at the retreating form of Kagome. The girl would pay. Once again she was robbed of her chance at a normal life. "Inuyasha she has robbed us of our chance at happiness. Are you going to let her get away with that?" she said quietly in a controlled voice.

Am I going to let her get away with it? I can't kill her, I just can't�there has to be something I could do� "The well." What�? "Inuyasha the well!" he looked at Kikyo with confusion etched on his face. "What?"

What a moron, how many times will I have to say it! "the well Inuyasha, destroy it, It's the perfect revenge!" I can kill her myself later. "The well�?"

But could I really do that to her�for Kikyo. For Kikyo I can. "Okay Kikyo I'll do it."

~*~End Flashback~*~

Kagome paused just out side of a clearing. Moonlight filtered through the over head branches making eerie patterns on the forest floor. She whirled around, her bow drawn, arrow at the ready. Someone's there. They can't be after me already. She thought with urgency. "Come out of hiding." She said steadily. Silence gnawed at her resolve. With a small noise almost like a growl she shouted, "I know you're there, so come out already! If you're after the jewel you can have it; it's worthless now! And if not, stop being a fucking coward hiding in the shadows of the trees!" she whirled again as her target jumped high over her head and landed in the clearing ahead. "Sesshoumaru." She said as she tightened her grip on the bow.

Sesshoumaru looked at the woman-child in front of him with mild distaste. She was a strange creature, with those odd and indecent clothes. For a human she seemed slightly intelligent, and powerful. Now she had sparked his interest. Standing before him with a barley detectable amount of fear. Her eyes were angry. They swam with a multitude of emotion, the most prominent one betrayal. Her aura flared when she saw him. "You called me a coward." He stated calmly.

Great, just great. Now I've made him mad. But Kami help me if he calls me Inuyasha's women. "You were hiding in the bushes Lord Sesshoumaru." She said this just as calmly as the demon standing befher.her. "That is irrelevant." He stated looking her in the eyes. "Actually it is quite relevant. You were hiding from a human, at night, in the bushes." Her bow creaked and she stared at him knowing full well that those words would cause him to attack her. The only thing was, he didn't.

Sesshoumaru stared at the girl who dared to insult him. He stood still contemplating what the change that had overcome this young woman. She held no fear; he sensed a grim determination radiating from her. She began to look apprehensive as time slowly ticked on. Not willing to attack but not willing to let her guard down.

Why hasn't he attacked me yet? She shifted her weight slightly. "What do you want." She looked strait into his cold amber eyes. He remained silent and looked as if he was studying her.

"Where is the half breed ." ." He stated coldly. "I don�t know." She replied stonily. The demon lord searched her face for any trace of falsehood. He found none, but wasn�t ready to drop the matter. "He is your constant travelling companion. He is too protective of you to let you wander off on your own." She looked ready to burst with anger. "Perhaps in the past he was but recently he has sought my demise along with his lover." Now he was slightly confused. My brother has always seemed to love this girl and he is now after her blood? I was sure his brother would take this girl for his mate. She was strong, intelligent, loyal, brave and rather attractive for a human. Wait a moment where did that come from. There must be a way to use this against him. He smiled wickedly a plan formulated in his mind.

Ok now I'm worried, he smiling. I've only seen him smile just before he did something horrible to Inuyasha. He resolve was slowly crumbling and fear was catching in the back of her throat. "So he has betrayed you Miko." She eyed him carefully. "Yes." She could barley get the word out. Saying it out loud made it seem more real. I can't run forever. They'll catch me eventually. That is if I don�t die for some other reason before hand. The fact that one possible reason of that stood in front of her wasn�t helping anything. He keeps calling me Miko� "My name is Kagome, not Miko, wench, human, or girl. Kagome."

Yes she is assuredly brave, or a death craving fool. It was time to initiate his plan; he could smell her fear. "You will come to my palace and teach my ward the ways of the Miko. You will stay within the grounds at all times. In return you will be protected from the half breed." She seemed started by his proposition.

His palace? He lives in a palace? Well, duh Kagome! He has to live some where. Wait he's going to protect me from Inuyasha? That's a switch�he has a ward!? "I'm not trained." Was all she could come up with. Sesshoumaru seemed unaffected by this news.

She's this powerful and she's not even trained. The rumors, could they be true? It seems I've come at just the right time. If trained she could become extremely powerful. She will make a strong ally even if she is just a human. "I will arrange your training. If you accept my offer."

Kagome felt torn. She needed protection from Inuyasha but the lingering sense of loyalty kept her from being fully decisive. He's willing to protect me, have me trained and give me a place to stay if I go with him and teach this 'ward' of his? She relaxed her hold on the bow. She knew what she had to do. "I accept."

~*~~~*~~~*~

In this story its four years later so Kagome's out of high school. And yes Sesshy has two arms. It grew back, nyah! I know Sesshoumaru seems slightly OOC in this chapter, but do you really know what he's thinking? Of course you don�t. Besides it's his plan 'member? He's planning something. I'm not sure what quite yet but I'm gonna start the next chapter real soon. I want to finish it before I go to California in like two weeks. PLEASE REVIEW!!! 'Cause if you don�t I wont post it before I go and you'll have to wait till I get back. (roughly four or five weeks from now)

Ja ne!
