Prologue: Coral Sensations

The red sunset burst into the sky as the sun descended behind the clouds creating a coral colour that splashed beyond the horizon. Kagome's brown eyes reflecting the site before her; she gave a soft sigh and spared a glance to her silent companion. His long silver hair blew silently in the breeze as his amber eyes stared off into the distance. Kagome brought a hand up and slowly tucked a black strand of hair behind her ear. She frowned slightly, her companion's eyes seemed unfocused, his lips seemed tense, and he appeared to be thinking, a rarity she amusingly noted. She suddenly had the urge to ask him what were his thoughts, but she already knew that answer. It was simply too obvious. A cold feeling of despair swept into Kagome's heart and she softly sighed then tensed her hands and scrunched them into a ball. She raised it and looked at the broken tips of grass. The wind caught them and she watched as they danced. She once again turned to her companion. His nose twitched and his ears swivelled, she felt a small giggle about to erupt altering her state of melancholy. She saw his eyes turn to look at her. His stare was intense, a crimson colour spread out on her cheeks. She always blushed when he looked at her like that; luckily for her it was very rare occurrence.

"What!" he bit out feeling the tense atmosphere while blushing himself, Kagome winced slightly at his tone.

"Nothing Inuyasha," Kagome softly replied.

She turned her head back to the fading sky; she closed her eyes and took in the soft breeze. Slowly, ever so sneakily, she dropped her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. He tensed only for a moment before he relaxed into her. Kagome took a small amount of pride in knowing that Inuyasha was probably blushing like a fool. A small smirk graced her ruby lips. She felt his hand rise and flop on her shoulder roughly. He made a small cough sound. Her smirk grew. It reminded her of those shows when a couple went to the movies and the guy would make that silly "cool" attempt to wrap his arm around his date. Perhaps even in her abnormal state in the past the future always kept up to her.

Kagome sighed again, as she realized that all good moments are often invaded, and ruined by dark deep thoughts of truth and reality. The thought occurred to Kagome that this may be the last time her and Inuyasha would ever sit like this. Kagome's smirk faded, and sorrow filled her dark eyes. Naraku, that name was all what was needed to be said to bring down any conversation. All the jewel shards were collected; the only people who had them were Kouga, Kohaku, Naraku, and herself. The final battle was approaching, it was something that everyone seemed to acknowledge, even Sesshoumaru. He had come to them weeks ago; a truce had finally been made after a few "sits" and constant jealous ego brother comments. Which seemingly were still coming more and more. Since Sesshoumaru decided he would camp not too far from the village, just in case Naraku decided to attack. He of course insisted that "the weak" humans should train. A scowl formed on her lips.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha gruffly said interrupting her musings.

"Yes?" Kagome looked up and realized that Inuyasha had been staring at her. She felt that familiar warmth spread across her cheeks, as well as a familiar smirk across Inuyasha's lips. Oh, how he loved to make her blush. He always stared at her when she was thinking; she supposed it had to do with her emotions reflecting across her face. She bowed her head in embarrassment, and flattened out her short red skirt.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said softly.

"Yeah?"Inuyasha replied with his ears flattened on his head.

Kagome's question hung on her lips. It was a question she always asked, and Inuyasha never could answer. "What do you think will happen, when we finally have the jewel?"

"I don't know Kagome. I suppose we'll find out."

Kagome sighed again. It seemed to be her new and constant habit. Inuyasha suddenly tensed and Kagome looked up at him. He was looking at something. She turned her gaze to the direction of the sky. Kikyo's serpent snakes glided elegantly across the sunset. "That's Kikyo, I have to talk with her about joining us." he swiftly returned to his feed and turned to Kagome "Do you think you can get back to the village safely?" He gazed softly at her.

Kagome nodded silently, ignoring the burning itch of jealous and frustration in the back of her heart. She watched Inuyasha go after the flying serpent. Kagome gazed one last time at the darkened sky, she lifted herself up and began walking back to camp. She wrapped her arms around herself as a shiver went up her back. She sighed one last time and stopped suddenly while gazing up at the God Tree. Her hand lifted and stroked the scarred bark. Familiar tears pricked her eyes. A tingle suddenly tickled her nerves, and she halted her hand. Kagome swiftly turned around and gazed directly at the demon lord. His clothes and hair drifted in an unknown wind. Kagome couldn't help but notice how beautiful he truly was. His hair could have been the envy of any girl, his skin looked milky and fresh, and his eyes emitted an ominous glow.

"Miko, it is not safe for you to be roaming out here alone. Where is my foolish brother?" His question burrowed smoothly against the forest. It only seemed to make her feel worse making the burning in her heart rage.

"Why Lord Sesshoumaru, if didn't know any better I'd say you were concerned. As for Inuyasha well..." She trailed off and lowered her head "He is a bit busy." She knew it wasn't a good idea to take her disdain out on Sesshoumaru. He could cut her throat in mere seconds, but she couldn't stop the words as they spewed from her mouth.

"Do not mistake my words for concern wench; I am only pointing out your stupidity for walking alone in the dark. And I'm assuming that my brother is off with his dead bitch no less. I thought I smelled her rotten corpse." His voice sounded harsh, she had quite obviously offended him with her tone. Kagome's head remained bent as a silence settled between them. It unnerved Sesshoumaru highly. Usually Kagome never stopped talking. She even successfully out spoke Rin.

"Come girl," Sesshoumaru turned and started walking to the village, "I will escort you back to your village."

He could hear her silent steps behind him. His eyes drifted to the sky as he felt her walk beside him. Sesshoumaru took deep sniff, and took in her vanilla. It was rare to find an actual human who bathed.
