Nothing Like Paradise by ShadowHaze

Chapter One

Chance didn't seem to be in his favor that day. Nothing had seemed to go right. Instead everything was tending to go wrong. At that moment Sesshoumaru would have traded his life for a break from the chaotic word around him. He had thought that he would get a break, but when he stepped out of the woods he knew that fate must have been sick today. Yes fate must be sick, or out on maternity leave. That was the only plausible excuse he could come up with.

He knew that things were definently not in his favor when he heard the dreadful sound of his half-brother, Inuyasha's, voice.

It was obvious that the events that followed were unpreventable. Inuyasha launched at Sesshomaru. They fought in a whirl of color. Cassious and Kagome were on the sidelines watching. In a split second both had made a decision. Cassious gathered his power and began to chant silently in his head. There was only one thing to do. Send Sesshoumaru away.

The second that Cassious released the blast of energy, Kagome hurled herself at Sesshoumaru. The burst of green energy caught Sesshoumaru and Kagome in it's path. In the next instant, they were gone...
