HEARTLESS

CHAP17 Get Away

“Wait…you didn’t say anything about flying.” Kagura blubber nervously, looking at the private jet looming on the tarmac.

Sesshomaru turned to look at her; noticing her worried face. “Have you ever been on an airplane before?”

Kagura gave him a nervous laugh before saying. “Well my father’s Lear jet has been on the fritz lately…of course I have never been on an airplane before!” she finished angrily rolling her eyes at him.

Sesshomaru frowned before arching a delicate eyebrow at her temper tantrum. “Don’t worry, after all I'm the hero here I’ll make sure no harm comes to you.” He told her taking her into his arms.

Kagura gave him a hard look before putting her head on his chest, inhaling his scent; she squeezed him tightly before saying softly. “You promise?”

Sesshomaru moved slightly grabbing her shin forcing her to look at him. “I promise.” He said before kissing her softly on her forehead.

Kagura blinked then shriek when she found herself being lifted bridal style by Sesshomaru. “Well my lady your carriage to the western lands awaits.” He said taking her up the G-4 stairs. Neither of them noticed the people around them, most of them employed by the Tashiotaka family for years; looked on in surprise and shock at the way the always cold and stoic Sesshomaru was behaving.

If Yura was here she would have shrugged her shoulders before muttering a. “who knew he had it in him?!”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha sat in the stands watching the archers take there places. He was here even thought he had told her he was not going to come see her compete. He frowned to himself placing his hands inside the pockets of his pullover. He was trying to be inconspicuous by wearing a baseball hat but his hair did not give him that option. “Stupid wench…” he muttered to himself wondering why he was here. ‘Maybe because you like her…’ said a voice inside his head.
“I do not like that stupid wench!” he yell back at himself.

“Are you ok young man?” asked an older woman.

Inuyasha frowned at her before saying. “Yeah,” then muttering to himself. “Meddlesome old bat mind your business!”

(WACK) An umbrella hit him on the head. “I heard that you little brat.”

“Hey! What the hel--” (WACK) she hit him again before he could finish.

“Apologies to grandma right now you hoodlum!” someone yelled.

“Yeah!” said another.

“Kids these days have no shame!” said a man.

“I feel sorry for his mother, the shame of it all.” said another old woman.

Inuyasha found himself surrounded by an angry mob of spectators; he quickly got up and left yelling. “Sorry… you old bat!”

He was about to go home when he heard. “Up next is Higurashi, Kagome.” Inuyasha stopped turning around to get a glimpse of her.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagura opened her eyes to see a little girl staring at her in wonder. Kagura smiled at her before saying. “You must be Rin.”
“You’re pretty.” Rin told her.

Kagura could not help the blush that stained her cheeks. “You think?” she asked the little girl.

Rin nodded her head up and down in a “yes.”

“But not as pretty as you.” Kagura told her.

Rin giggled. “Rin is pretty!”

Kagura smiled as the little girl lay down on the seat hugging a teddy bear and placing her thumb in her mouth, she stared at Kagura in wonder. Kagura looked out the window, she most have dowsed off. She smiled remembering him calming her fear of being on an airplane, he was a very different person away from the academy, Yura was so wrong about him. Kagura frowned looking around. ‘Where was he?’

As if Rin read her mind she said. “He’s flying the plane.”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naraku yawn lazily while sitting on the kitchen table drinking a cup of
Tea. He tried to contain the smile that came to his face when Muso entered the kitchen.

“Morning...” grumbled Muso.

“Morning little brother.” answered Naraku.

Muso pored himself a cup of tea and sat across from his brother. Naraku gave him a questionable look.

"What?" asked Muso frowning.

Naraku laughed. "Nothing."

Muso dismissed his brother’s laughter, "Kagura and Kanna still sleep?"

"No and yes." said Naraku

"Well?" said Muso expecting more from his brother.

Naraku took a slow sip of his tea before answering his brother. Kanna is and Kagura is not."

"Hiding in her room is she?” Muso smirked. “Serves her right!"

Naraku looked at Muso. "Hiding from whom? You?...sorry bro Kagura is gone."

"What do you mean gone?"

"She and Yura went out of town to do girl stuff." Naraku shrugged his shoulders in explanation.

"WHAT! And you let her GO?" he asked Naraku raising his voice.

"Yes I did!" said Naraku getting angry. "Do you have a problem with it?"

"You damn right I got a problem with it!" he retorted. "I told Kagura to stay away from that girl and after she attacked me last night, you stilled allowed her to go? Whose side are you on?"

"I’m not taking sides here Muso and if I was I would have to take Yura’s on this."

"You were out of line Muso, plus she Kagura’s friend not yours. Kagura is old enough to

hang with whoever she wants."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This place is beautiful..."
"You like it?" he asked pleased with her reaction.

"Yes I do." She said smiling out the window.

He sat across from her in the limo, Rin sat next to her chatting away about everything. Kagura seemed genuinely interested in his sister’s chatter answering her back. Kagura and Rin had been laughing for most of the ride. Sesshomaru was surprised that Rin took to Kagura so easily. It was hard to tell who the child was and who the young adult was. Kagura looked his way briefly giving him a smile before returning to the conversation her and Rin were having. Sesshomaru blinked at her smile feeling like someone had kicked him in the chest taking all the air out of his lungs.

‘Get a hold of yourself man! She is just a nobody.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome needed a bull’s-eye to win the competition. “Come on! You can do it!” he muttered nervously. Inuyasha watched as Kagome place her last arrow on the bull’s-eye. He let out the breath he was holding letting out a yell “YES! WAY TO GO KAGOME!” Kagome heard him; she turned and waved at him excitedly “Inuyasha!” He found himself waving back enthusiastically with a big smile on his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The limo finally came to a stop in front of a massive castle. Kagura look towards the entrance and was surprised to see servants lined up waiting to greet them. Sesshomaru got out the limo first then turned to offer her his hand. Kagura took it coming out of the limo she turned and like wise she offered Rin her hand. “Welcome lord Sesshomaru, lady Rin.” they all said in unison. Sesshomaru nodded back acknowledging their greeting. Kagura blinked at this her face in awe at all the attention. Sesshomaru played lord of the manor to a tee. Kagura found herself guided up the pathway; the servants looked at her curiously they wonders who she was and why she was here with the stoic lord.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome closed her eyes enjoying the warmth of Inuyasha’s back, she leaned closer breathing in his scent. “What are you doing?” he asked looking back at her.
“Nothing.” She replied.

“Keh”

“You can put me down you know, I'm too heavy!” she protested.

“No” he said

“Why do you always insist on carrying me on your back?”

Inuyasha frowned at her question but had no answer. “Well?” she persisted.

“Because I want too.” He told her. “Are you hungry?” he said changing the conversation.

“Hmmm a little.”

“Good lets get something to eat.” He told her.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A feminine hand toggled through the pictures she had taken of Kagura. “Hmmm…” she mused admiring her handy work.
“She’s hot; I see why he wants revenge…” said the female behind her.

The girl with the camera licked her lips. “To bad he didn’t want her deflowered… I would have enjoyed having a go at her.”

“Ha aha.” Her companioned laughed without humor.

“Are you jealous?” said the other girl putting the camera down before turning to look at her companion.

Her companion shrouded her shoulder as an answer.
