�Now what?� Kagome sighed, glaring at the wall of stone in their path. In fact, it appeared the wall of stone was their path.
�We go up,� InuYasha said, undaunted. They all stared up. The stone continued so high it disappeared into the clouds. �Maybe we�ll be able to get a better idea of where Naraku is from above.� Kirara transformed with a small roar and Sango walked to her, climbing on. Shippo hopped up next to her. Miroku turned and lifted Rin onto Ah-un and prepared to climb up behind her when Sesshomaru dropped Jaken behind her. Miroku gave him a questioning look, then was surprised when the youkai touched his waist lightly. He was about to ask what was going on when the strangest feeling of vertigo took hold of him. He grabbed Sesshomaru�s arm desperately, then realized he wasn�t falling. At least, not down. They were steadily rising up the mountain with nothing below their feet, despite the sensation that Miroku had, of standing on solid ground. Ah-un was rising next to them on the left and Kirara on the right. InuYasha was hopping from ledge to ledge with Kagome on his back. Miroku released his death-grip on Sesshomaru�s arm tentatively and when he didn�t fall, he let his arm drop to his side, enjoying the warmth of Sesshomaru pressed against his hip.
It took maybe an hour for them to break through the clouds and emerge to the brightness of the sun again. Miroku had to fight a wave of dizziness as the air became thinner. Finally, they were standing on the top of the wall, looking at a long walk down into a valley. The greenery had returned in full force and there were parts that looked almost impassable due to the thickness of the vegetation. Crystal lakes and streams sparkled in the sunlight, beautiful dots of blue, green and white spreading apart the darker green of the forested areas in favor of the lighter green grasses. The landscape rose and fell in soft waves and dips then climbed again to another mountain peak past the valley. He could hear a waterfall, though he didn�t see any. It looked to be a good moon�s worth of traveling.
�Wow,� Kagome breathed. Miroku looked over to her, smiling. He had never seen such a sight before. Few men had ever seen this sight, he knew.
�Mount Hakurei,� InuYasha said, suddenly.
�What?� Kagome asked.
�That�s what that woman back in the village with the hanyo kid said this place was called. There�s a shrine there, built by some priest or something.�
�I highly doubt Naraku would be there,� Miroku said. As evil as Naraku was, a holy shrine would most certainly be the last place anyone would find him, Miroku was certain.
�It�s so beautiful,� Kagome whispered. �I�ve never seen mountains without a city before.�
�A city in the mountains?� Sesshomaru scoffed.
�Yeah. Where I come from, there are cities everywhere. A few mountains have been preserved as national parks, but I�ve never been to one. And even so, you can still usually see the city and tons of people.� She frowned. �And I�m not sure that mountain�s still there in my time,� she added.
�Time?� Sesshomaru repeated. Kagome blushed.
�I suppose no one�s told you, huh?� Sesshomaru continued staring at her and she sighed. �I�m not from this era.�
�Kagome is from some time in the future,� Miroku admitted. Sesshomaru turned to him. �That�s why she dresses so strangely and has so many things we�ve never heard of in her pack.�
�I see.� Sesshomaru turned back to the view. Magnificent as it was, Miroku doubted that he was even thinking about it. �If the mountain is not there, where did it go? Have you learned to move entire mountains?�
�No. I think it erupted. A lot of the mountains have over the centuries. But I�ve never heard of a Mount Hakurei. I mean, there are hundreds of mountains, but one this big, I think I would remember. So I figure it probably blew up a long time before I was born.�
�Let us hope that it is not in the near future,� Sesshomaru stated, then began walking down the mountain, in the direction that appeared to offer the least resistance.
�
Sesshomaru didn�t participate in the battles against attacking demons, preferring to ignore the intrusions if they didn�t get in his way. More than once, he simply glared at the youkai in his way and they fell back in retreat. They were making tremendously good time, considering. Miroku lost himself, for a time, in the happiness that only being in love can bring. Sango�s coldness and sharp tongue diminished and Miroku couldn�t have expressed how relieved he was to see the bitterness leave her. He realized he treasured her every laugh, every smile. Sometimes it made him wonder if he had made the right decision in choosing Sesshomaru. But then he would have the private time they enjoyed after dinner, even on the nights they didn�t make love, and he wondered how he could ever question his choice.
Other times, he wouldn�t be able to see past the coldness in the youkai and longed for the heat of Sango�even if just in the form of her hand striking his face in response to his inappropriate groping. They celebrated Kagome�s birthday, which was apparently the anniversary of her first meeting with InuYasha, without Sesshomaru and Jaken, who left the group for almost two days without warning. Jaken came back first, muttering, and a few days later, some strange woman stole Tetsusaiga. Jaken railed at InuYasha for his clumsiness in losing it and it was another day before Jaken found his way back to them.
They found Sesshomaru standing alone, glaring at the sword.
�How the hell did you get it?� InuYasha demanded angrily. Sesshomaru spun, his eyes flashing crimson, grabbed his brother by the throat and lifted him from the ground.
�If I may not wield the sword, it will be used by our father�s blood. If you are ever clumsy enough to lose it again, I will simply kill you and find a way to destroy his barrier. I may not understand Father�s purpose in leaving the sword to one as worthless as you, but it was his final act and you will not disgrace his memory by being so pathetic as to have it taken from you by a mortal woman or anyone else. Am I clear?� Sesshomaru�s voice was as even and quiet as always, but his eyes showed his fury. Miroku shivered as a jolt of fear ran through him at the sight of the enraged taiyoukai. He had seen Sesshomaru like this few times, but each instance caused copious amounts of fear. InuYasha glared and dug his talons into his brother�s arm for a moment, locking gazes, but then nodded slightly (not an easy task considering the vice his neck was in). Sesshomaru�s hand opened, releasing the hanyo.
Everyone stared, frozen as Sesshomaru walked past tetsusaiga without offering it another glance. InuYasha lifted it and slid it into its sheath without another word. Both heads of silvery hair had disappeared into the woods before anyone else in the small clearing moved.

Every review I get is a bright spot in my day. But just seeing that the story is being read is just as important to me! So, also, a big Thank you to everyone who reads this story as well! I don't want you feeling left out! My reviewers are special to me, though, so here's my responses!
Shanna: You might want to look into a rehab clinic now. I should warn you, though, fanfiction addiction is believed to be incurable. I entered into a twelve step program back in 2002, but I relapsed rather hard and have become obssessed once again. Reading, writing... however I can get my fix. You should be careful because fanfiction is a gateway drug. Usually, by the time you're reading yaoi, it's too late. It can lead to other addictions such a fanart, series collectionsand cosplay. Those who reach the cosplay level of addiction aregenerally considered irrevokably lost. On the other hand, you won't get cancer, fanfiction is free (although the internet connection isn't, your dealer -AKA author/authoress- doesn't charge for updates) and fun can be had making up goffy stuff like this. Yes, it is a good thing Sesshoamru didn't hear the sunshine and flowers comment, as I think heonly puts up withthose from Rin. See my fanstrip joke about "When Fangirls Attack" at deviant art here: http/ it's nice and relevant, lol.
Lilly: Ahh, that's a good reflex! I enjoy them, too (well, obviously, since I keep up my side of them! LOL). I'm also very fond of those moments with Rin. He's so sweet with her, you know there's a heart in there. But then, who wouldn't love that kid? She's great, lol. And they have a very cute relationship. Yup, he gave her away like a puppy, lol. You'll get to see his thoughts on that later (and of course, his actions speaking louder than his words). I picked "Bodies" because that was the Anime Music Video I was downloading at the time andHanyou Slavehappened to use a line from it by accident that I read as I was listening to the song, sooo... and it got stuck in my head, too, rofl. But then, so many songs get stuck in my head writing this fic (since I use song lyrics for all the titles). Yes, I could almost see Sesshomaru singing that song. Actually, I do like fluff, I'm just rotten at writing it, lol. I may be the angst queen, but that's because that's what I write. I enjoy reading basically any type of story (angst, fluff, PWPs, comedy, etc.). Except AU. For some reason, with InuYasha fics, I don't like the AU ones (although there have been a couple I've read and enjoyed, don't get me wrong, but in general, I don't like them). I strive to write comedy occassionally and am almost always disappointed with myself, either because it's not that funny or I drove someone OOC with it. That's why there's not a lot of fluffy moments--I'm nervous writing them. Low self-esteem and all, lol.I'm glad that you noticed and enjoy them!And no, you didn't write too long, lol. It always seems longer in the comments box!
Kai: Yes, that was a tongue-in-cheek reference to mpreg, actually, lol. I have an online friend who pesters me to do one, but I don't know if I ever will. Rin just seemed like a good way to overcome that obstacle to their relationship.
YoukaiObsessed: Yes, a little confrontation seemed to be in order there. I'm glad you liked the banter. Though Sango has every right to be pissy, I know Sesshomaru can give as good as he gets. And now Miroku's a daddy... of sorts, lol. Yeah, I noticed you didn't see the fence coming before you ran into it ;D So it's a good obstacle.
Kira: Water? LOL, can't I drink some non-alcoholic fuzzy navel with mango syrup? -melts at the thought- Now I want a 'fuzzy mango' from the shaved ice place. But here's yet another update to keep me on your list, lol. My body would be happier with more water, but I don't like the taste. Isn't that weird? If I'm really thirsty, water will actually not stay down. I like thick drinks with pulp. -grabs some orange juice and pulls out the word file for 'Unforeseen Obstacles- Laters!
