A Concert?


Chapter 3: The Questions


Sesshomaru waited impatiently for Kagome’s return with Inuyasha, although to the untrained eye, he just looked bored. But Rin, who saw Sesshomaru as her father, saw straight through his façade. She knew that her lord and Kagome liked each other. She had seen with her young eyes the times that Kagome would look back at her lord while pretending to check on everyone in the group. Little Rin had also seen how Sesshomaru would stay close to Kagome during battles and fiercely kill any enemy that dared come near her. Rin was happy to see her adopted father had finally found someone for himself.

Inuyasha suddenly jumped out of the well with the passed out Kagome in his arms. “What happened, did a demon attack you over there?” Sesshomaru demanded of Inuyasha even as his senses started searching Kagome for any injuries. “Nah, she said she was tired of climbing, then passed out on me…stupid ningen.”

“Inuyasha!! That is no way to speak of Kagome.” This time it was Kikyo who spoke up.

“Okaa-chan.” cried both Shippo and Rin in unison.

“Kagome-chan, oh no, I’ll go fetch her mother.” “I’ll help you my beloved.” This time
it was Sango and Miroku who spoke.

“Inuyasha, hand her to me, NOW.” Demanded Sesshomaru icily and once again his eyes coldly staring at his otou.

“Hai, I will put her bag up.” Inuyasha replied, not really wanting to fight his brother with the tone he just used. Inuyasha did not want to admit it, but he had also seen the changes in both Kagome’s and Sesshomaru’s attitudes towards each other. He had a suspicion that the two of them were starting to become friends and he did not like it at all.

Sesshomaru continued to look his beloved over for any sign of a wound, but found none. When Kagome’s mom rushed out to them, Kagome was already beginning to awaken. Hitomi gave Kagome a cool washcloth to wipe her face and it was then that Kagome realized she was not in Inuyasha’s arms and that something fluffy was wrapped around her legs. She looked into Sesshomaru’s molten gold eyes and for the first time saw true concern for her in them. Suddenly, Kagome blushed 5 shades of red and she tried to use the cloth to hide her face. But, with his keen eyesight, Sesshomaru saw her blush and for the first time thought that perhaps Kagome had meant him in her earlier conversation with Kikyo.

Inuyasha also saw Kagome’s blush and just had to open his mouth about it. "Oi, Wench, why the hell are you blushing at that no good, one armed freak of a youkai?”

“Inuyasha?”

“Hai.”, Inuyasha answered nervously.

“SIT!!!”

“Wenc…..”

A few minutes later when Inuyasha had come out of the hole he created, he ripped Kagome away from his brother’s embrace. Both Sesshomaru and Kagome growled in disapproval at Inuyasha. But Inuyasha ignored them because he wanted answers right then. He took her to the God Tree then holding her tightly, jumped about 50 feet up into the tree.

“Kagome, I wanna know what the hell is going on between you and my brother RIGHT NOW!”

“Nothing is ‘going on’ as you put it, but I do find him interesting to talk to.”

“WHAT, him INTERESTING???”

“Yes, now put my down onto the ground.”

“Not till you tell me you love me and not him.”

“I will not.”

“Say it.”

“No.”

“Okay, stay in the tree then.”

“Don’t you dare leave me here.”

“Then Say IT.”

“Okay.”

With that, Inuyasha sat her on the branch close to the tree and leaned back to look smugly at his brother, knowing he could here everything going on in the tree. When he looked back at Kagome, her eyes had a wicked gleam to them. Suddenly, she took a strong grip to her seat and yelled the word as loud as she could.

“SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“SIT!!!!!”

“And once more Inuyasha SIT!” With the first command, Inuyasha’s smug face turned to utter fear. He plummeted the entire 50 feet and with each new command, his speed to the ground increased. He could be heard by all screaming…."Kagome, you stupid wench!"

"Inuyasha, you are such a BAKA!", yelled Kagome hotly.

Kagome had only one problem, she was still in the tree, 50 feet up it. She thought for a minute then asked “Sesshomaru-sama, I hate to impose, but could you please help me down?” When she received no answer within 2 seconds, she started to climb down herself. She made it about a foot when she slipped and started to fall. Sesshomaru, who was fixing to jump up to her, to bring her down, saw her start to fall. He jumped and formed his cloud as he traveled fast to catch her. She had fallen only a couple of feet when she found herself on Sesshomaru’s arm.

“Miko, you are an impatient one, are you not?”

“Hai, I can be. Arigato for saving me, Sesshomaru-sama.”

“Miko, I insist that you alone call me Sesshomaru. I would prefer that title from you.”

“Hai Sesshomaru, but onegai, call me Kagome.”

“Hai Kagome.”

By the time they finished that little discussion, they were back on the ground at the base of the God Tree. Inuyasha, who was unconscious, lay face down only a few inches from where they stood. Everyone looked at Kagome to make sure she was fine. She looked back with a shy grin on her face.

“Well, that was entertaining. How about we all go in and I will fix us something to eat.”, said Hitomi to the group. They all turned and left Inuyasha where he lay. A few hours later, after everyone had eaten, Inuyasha stalked in. “Oi, Kagome where is my food?”

“Ah Inuyasha, awoken now have you, otou?”, Sesshomaru remarked snidely.

“Hai, no thanks to her.”

“Now now Inuyasha, how about I fix you some ramen and we all stop fighting. You know that I prefer no fighting in my house.”, said Hitomi said calmly.

“Hai, Mama Higurashi.”

Kagome was seeing to the sleeping arrangements, fetching spare blankets and sleeping bags from her room when suddenly, Sesshomaru was standing in front of her. He shut her room door with his tail while staring intently at her.

"Anou…Sesshomaru, is there something I could help you with?”, Kagome asked nervously.

“Kagome, there is no reason to be nervous here, I do wish to ask you a question although it is difficult for me to ask.”

“Sesshomaru, take a seat, onegai and we will talk.”

“Seat? I see no chairs in here?”

“Sit here on the bed with me.”

“Hai.”

“Now, what do you want to ask me?”

“Kagome, I have seen the power you have and I would like to ask a favor of you.”

“And that would be??”

“To fix my missing arm.”

“NANI??? How could I do that?”

“Kaede may be able to instruct you, but if possible, I would like to have it done before the concert.”

“Alright Sesshomaru, I will try my best.”

“I am most humbled Kagome.”

“You are welcome…I have kind of felt bad about it since we have started a friendship of sorts.”

“Actually, I believe we are more that that.”

“Nani?" To answer her, Sesshomaru quickly bent down and gave her a very chaste kiss, barely touching her lips. Kagome was shocked, but instantly returned the
kiss and tried to deepen it a little bit. Just as quick as he moved to her, he moved away.

“What was that for, Sesshomaru?”

“A sign of affection from me to you.”

“You mean….you like me as more than a friend??”

“Hai, my koi.” Kagome could only stare at him with shock. She was pulled from it when her mom came to the door.

“Kagome, where are the blan….oh pardon me, I did not know you were in here Sesshomaru-sama.”

“I was about to leave, I just needed to ask Kagome a simple question.”

After a few hours, it was bedtime for everyone. Kouga and Ayame wanted to stay outside. Ji-chan had insisted on Kaede take his bed, he slept in the recliner that was in his room. Souta had cried for Rin, Shippo, and Kirara to stay in his room with him. Sesshomaru had consented to allow Rin to sleep there, but only if Jaken was allowed to keep watch over them. Sesshomaru could already tell that Souta liked Rin and just wanted to make sure she was safe since she would not be where he could see her directly. Sango, Miroku, and Kikyo were to sleep in the living room. Inuyasha wanted his normal perch in the God Tree and Sesshomaru went into Kagome’s room after the children were asleep. Kagome had already spoke to Kaede about how to heal using her powers and she was meditating to prepare herself when Sesshomaru came in.

“Welcome Sesshomaru.”

“Are you ready?”

“Hai, but I know it will make me extremely weak. Will you look after me?”

“Hai, I will protect you.”

“Arigato. You must do everything I say with no questions to make this work correctly.”

“Hai. Where do you want to do this?”

“Lay on the bed, it is the most comfortable place.” Sesshomaru took his haori off and laid onto his back with his left arm closest to Kagome.

“Now, Sesshomaru, I want you to relax because this may cause some pain.”

“Hai, I leave my life into your hands, beloved, for I know you will not permit my death.”

“True Sesshomaru, I will not.”

Slowly, Kagome called her power to center into her hands. As her hands glowed a beautiful violet color, she placed her hands on the stump of his arm. She concentrated even more and sweat started to bead on her brow. She kneaded his stump and very slowly, it started to elongate. Sesshomaru gritted his teeth at the extreme pains in his arm and body from her purifying touch. Suddenly, his poison started to seep out a little, startling Kagome as it melted the corner of her comforter. Sesshomaru saw this had started to concentrate on holding the poison back. His arm had regrown to just past his elbow when the pain became so great, he did something he never thought he would do….he screamed in pure agony!

“Sesshomaru, do I need to stop. Is this too much?”, asked Kagome worriedly.

“Keep …. Going ….Please… Almost there.” Sesshomaru replied shakily through the pain.

By now, everyone was at Kagome’s room to see what had happened. Both Hitomi and Souta were shocked at what they saw Kagome doing and at the amount of power that was coming off of her. As everyone watched, Sesshomaru’s clawed fingers regrew one at a time. Once done, Sesshomaru released his mental hold onto his poison and allowed it to flow through his veins again. Kagome, with all of her energy expended, passed out the instant her task was completed. Sesshomaru got up and placed the now sleeping Kagome into her bed and then turned to the ones left at her door.

“Kagome has done me a great service this night and I will fight with ANYONE who dares disturb her till she awakens on her own. Inuyasha just looked dumbly at his brother and then said, “What service, all she did was restore the arm I chopped off your body, baka.” He then returned to his perch out in the God Tree. Hitomi went to get a bowl of water and a cloth for Kagome. Everyone else turned and quietly went back to bed and Sesshomaru sat the rest of the night, guarding Kagome.
