I do not own Inuyasha


Day2 part 2

Benten and Aizen-Myoo was in the forest. Benten looked at Aizen "What is taking Sukuna-Biko so long he should have been here before us?"

Aizen-Myoo "Maybe he got tied up with something. He will be here as soon as he can. Sukuna-Biko never misses a chance to enjoy one of his springs."

Benten laughed "You are right. I really hope we get the chance to use the spring before the girl comes."

Aizen-Myoo looked up and saw Sesshoumaru flying by the forest. "I think we probably have plenty of time considering that Sesshoumaru has Kagome."

"What! He isn't suppose to take her until the Blue Moon we still have 9 days left." Benten looked at Aizen-Myoo concern in her eyes. "Are her companions coming?"

"They are about an hour away so I don't think he will manage to keep her." Aizen-Myoo was laughing now. "These creatures never do what we expect them too. They really are a lot of fun to watch. Besides he seems to be landing in the clearing up ahead."

"I am glad you find this so funny. What happens if he doesn't turn Kagome loose? How will we finish our project if she is with him? It is suppose to be a surprise for him anyway and how on earth can he be surprised if he stays around her?" Benten was pacing so lost in thought that she suddenly bumped into someone.

Sukuna-Biko grabbed her arms to steady her "Sorry if I am late. It took Sarutahiko Ohkami longer to finish the potion than he thought. So have I missed anything?"

"Only Kagome getting taken by Sesshoumaru" Benten replied.

"My hot springs are just on the other side of the clearing up ahead. They are in the forest and very secluded. I am sure that she will find them. We should go and prepare them." He waited for his friends nod and they disappeared.


Kagome was getting sick. Looking at the ground from this height and traveling as fast as he was made the scenery become a blur. Definitely not a good thing to be doing and being slung across Sesshoumaru's shoulder was not helping at all. I don't care what Uzume said about us being mates this is not looking good. "Can we please stop now Fluffy I really don't feel so good?"

Sesshoumaru couldn't believe what she just called him. The audacity of this human was amazing. First she had the nerve to strike him and then she calls him names. Her courage was unbelievable. How in the world did she come up with the name Fluffy. And stranger than anything he could sense no fear in her. Everybody is afraid of this Sesshoumaru well everybody but this miko and of course Rin it would seem. The sooner this Sesshoumaru got rid of her the better. Too bad he had told her he was not going to hurt her now he was honor bound not too. "We will be stopping shortly."

Kagome closed her eyes hoping that it would stop her from getting sick. It seemed to help a little although if he didn't stop soon she was afraid that he would kill her if she got sick on him.

Sesshoumaru looked down and saw a clearing. It will take that half-breed a little while to get here. It shouldn't take me long to get the answers I want. He landed on the ground and took Kagome off his shoulder and set her down. "Now ningen you will tell this Sesshoumaru why I can't sense any fear in you?"

Kagome sighed I know my name isn't hard to say so why does he not call me by it. Oh well "Why would I fear you? Other than the time that I drew Tetsusaiga out you have never really tried to harm me."

He looked at the human in shock. "I have attacked you all countless times." The nerve of this girl.

"No you have attacked Inuyasha many times and the times you did come after me you really didn't do me any harm. In fact I have come to the conclusion that you intentionally diverted most of your major attacks so as not to harm me." Kagome saw the shock on Sesshoumaru's face before his mask was put back in place. Good I think that I am getting to him. Serves him right for kidnapping me.

Sesshoumaru had enough of this miko and before Kagome could blink he had her against a tree with his claws around her throat. "This Sesshoumaru has had enough of your insults miko." He closed his hand a little more and watched small drops of her blood slide down her throat. His youki smelled the blood and started fighting him. You will not win this battle I will have my answers. He closed his eyes and fought his youki for control.

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru somewhat worried when she saw him close his eyes. She felt his tail wrap around her and his hand released its grip from her throat. Kagome leaned her head back against the tree and took a deep breath through her sore throat. She gasped when he opened his eyes and she saw that his eyes had turned red. Just like Inuyasha's when his demon blood took over his body. I am in so much trouble now his youki is free. "Eep" Kagome froze when she felt Sesshoumaru's tongue slide over her throat lapping at the blood his claws had spilt. She moaned when she felt his fangs glaze over her skin. Oh kami he made me moan. Kagome tried to move her neck out of the way but stopped when she heard him growl.

Sesshoumaru let his youki lap up the blood and as soon as it was done he won control over it. Why did you make us stop it felt so good? Even she enjoyed it I heard her moan. I know and maybe another time I will let you have her but right now I need questions answered. Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome and watched her almost pant trying to get her breathing back in control. He could hear her heartbeat slowly settle back down. "Now wench you will answer my questions. " He saw Kagome nod and he released her and walked a little distance away from her. "Why do you have Inu-youkai ears?"

"I don't know when I woke up this morning my ears were like this. I don't know why or how." Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru took this information almost like he was determining if she told the truth or not.

"You no longer smell like a ningen, you don't smell like a youkai either though why is this?" Sesshoumaru waited for his answer but before Kagome could talk he smelled his brother. It was faint but he would be here soon. "We will continue this again miko."

Kagome watched as his cloud formed at his feet and he rose into the air and was soon out of site. Before she could think over what had happened Inuyasha and the rest of her friends landed in the clearing.

"Kagome" Shippou hollered and he jumped from Kirara and ran to Kagome's arms. "What did that taiyoukai do to you?"

"He just asked me some questions is all." Kagome watched as everyone stared at her in shock.

Inuyasha walked up to Kagome and jumped back "You smell like him."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and yelled "Of course I smell like him. He did carry me here after all."

"I've carried you before but my scent was never that strong on you." Inuyasha looked at Kagome and grimaced when he saw Kagome's face take on a red tint.

"Sit boy. And while your down there you might want to (sit) consider that his tail was wrapped around me so of course since you don't have a tail (sit) to wrap around me that is why his scent is stronger than yours. (sit)" With that said Kagome turned to look at Sango "When you were flying did you happen to see a hot spring or lake around this area?"

"I saw a hot spring. It is not far from here." Sango pointed to the forest behind Kagome and watched her grab her pack and take off in search of the spring. "I will join you as soon as I set up camp Kagome" She saw Kagome nod her head as she disappeared into the forest.

I don't know who he thinks he is questioning me that way. I don't question him when he comes back to camp smelling of clay and rotting flesh. If I can smell it I feel sorry for Shippou and Kirara it must be really bad to them. After all they are full blooded youki and their sense of smell is much stronger than mine. At least I bathe and soon Sesshoumaru's scent will be off me. Kagome walked around a tree and stopped. Her mouth dropped open in wonder at the scene before her. There stood the hot spring but this one had a waterfall feeding into it and flowers of all different sorts were scattered around the edges of the spring. It is beautiful. Kagome knelt down beside the spring and took her bathing supplies out and laid them on the edge of the spring. She undressed and laid her clothes by her backpack and waded into the spring. Oh this feels wonderful. She sank into the water and sighed. She swam under water to get her hair wet and swam back to retrieve her shampoo. Once she was thoroughly clean and scrubbed. She dived under the water again to rinse the soap from her skin. She settled down to have a nice soak and to wait for Sango. Before long the spring relaxed her enough that she fell asleep.

Sango sent Miroku off to gather wood and water for the night and made sure Inuyasha would not leave Shippou alone while he waited for Miroku to return. She then grabbed her towel and headed off to the spring to find Kagome. She walked in the direction that she had saw the spring when Kirara had been flying in search of Kagome. After quite a few minutes she found herself back at the edge of the clearing. I know I didn't make a circle so how did I end back up here. Maybe I did get my sense of direction confused. She turned back into the forest and walked some more but she once again found herself back at the camp. "Inuyasha something weird is going on." She waited for Inuyasha to get to her side. "Every time I go into the forest I end up back here at camp. I can't find the hot springs that Kagome went to."

Inuyasha looked at her like she had lost her mind or something "What do you mean you keep ending up here?"

Just then Miroku ran up to them out of breath "A strange thing happened to me when I went to gather wood. No matter which direction I went I always ended up back at camp."

Inuyasha looked at the monk and the taijiya and ran into the woods. Sango and Miroku looked at each other shook their heads. A short time later Inuyasha was back at camp. "I ran straight ahead how could I be back here?"

Sango looked at the guys "Keep your voices down we don't want to wake Shippou and get him worried for what will probably be nothing, So what can we do?"

Inuyasha turned a furious glance to Sango "What do you mean probably nothing. Kagome is in that forest and we have no way of getting
to her."

"Sango may be right Inuyasha, so far everything that has happened to Kagome has not caused her harm." Miroku turned to look at the forest "I have never heard of anything like this happening before either. Its just like the rest of Kagomes adventures and I use that word because I can't think of what else to call them. I suggest waiting a little longer before we start panicking." With that Miroku went off to build a fire.

"What do you mean panicking. I never panic." Inuyasha huffed and jumped back onto his tree. His eyes never leaving the spot where Kagome had disappeared.

Kagome awoke a short time later much refreshed and looked around her. Sango was not there maybe she had came and gone already not wanting to disturb my rest. She gathered up her supplies and headed back to camp. It only took a few minutes to return to camp and was some what startled when Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha rushed to her side."What?"

"How do you like that? She goes into a forest that the rest of us can't enter and then she calmly stands there and ask "What" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome.

"Sit boy" She watched as he ate dirt then turned to Sango and Miroku "Can someone please tell me what he is talking about preferably
without yelling at me?"

"Well it seems that whenever we went into the forest we always ended back here and it didn't matter which direction we took either." Sango watched as Kagomes eyes opened wider after hearing their story.

"Well Kagome where you whisked into the air again or something simular to that?" Miroku asked

"Nothing happened other than I found the most wonderful hot springs it had a waterfall and the prettiest flowers I have ever seen." Kagome looked up at her friends "It was so peaceful there."

"Will you stop doing that" Inuyasha stood up and dusted the dirt from his clothes.

"Then stop yelling at me and making mad." Kagome walked over to the fire and pulled out the Ramen and bowls and put the water on to boil for supper. Soon after they were fed they went to sleep. Each one with different questions on their mind.
