The Weird Swords

Chapter Six - Memories

Kagome woke up from her sleep, seeing that the flower was still in one piece and drank some of the water in the tube that it was in. Smiling, she brought up her left hand and rubbed the petals once again. ‘Sesshoumaru.......’ She sat up and touched her lips with her right hand. ‘That kiss........I can’t believe I did that.......’ Her mind replayed the moment yesterday.....

A finger landed on her lips, silencing her. “I know.” Sesshoumaru moved the tip of his nail over lips, which earned a squirm, and an amusing noise, from Kagome. “Don’t do that! That tickles!” Sesshoumaru let out a deep chuckle and did it again. Kagome groaned and batted his hand away, “Stop that!” The hand, the right, came back to her, only to trail the nail across her cheek, underneath her jaw, and then back up across the chin to her lips. “And...what if I don’t want to? What are you going to do about it Kagome?” A sly smirk appeared on the demon lord’s face, which earned a glare from the miko. “I’ll-” She kept her face scrunched up in anger while she thought to herself, ‘What will I do?’ Before she even thought about it, she leaned up and kissed the lips of the demon lord.

Big mistake.

Sesshoumaru was a taken back at her very bold action. But, the moment only lasted when she broke the kiss. The blush was now the color of ketchup, “I’m-sorry that-that wasn’t supposed to happen-” Kagome tried to pull away and run, but, Sesshoumaru kept her there. “Why are you running?”

“I just kissed you!” Kagome tried to get out of his grip once again, wanting to go and be on her own to over think why these things were happening. Sesshoumaru lifted up his right eyebrow, “Is that a bad thing?” He watched as she stopped struggling and looked up at him. Sesshoumaru brought down his head again to her left eye and licked the skin below her eye, chuckling when she shuddered. A moan came from her while he continued, “Please...stop...” Sesshoumaru did so and let go of her, watching her as she picked up that strange round device in her right hand. Before she went, she turned toward him and smiled, “I’ll see you later Sesshoumaru.” And with that, she ran off back to her friends.

Tears pricked her eyes, ‘I left him.......and he was being gentle.’ She looked back at the flower, watching as her tears landed on the blue blanket, darkening the areas when they landed. Turning toward Shippou, she nudged him awake, “Come on Shippou. Rin is waiting.” The small kitsune rubbed his eyes and looked up at her. “What’s wrong Kagome?” Kagome got up, “Nothing. Let’s go.” Shippou looked at her walking form before running up to jump on her shoulder. “Are you sure Kagome? I can smell your tears.”

Kagome nodded and wiped the said tears away with her right hand, “I’m fine.”

-------------------------------------------------

Rin giggled while chasing Jaken around, “Come on Lord Jaken! This piece of grass will look good with your hat!” Jaken kept running around the area, “No! I do not want that piece of grass on my hat! No, no, no! Get away from me!” Rin continued laughing while running after the poor toad. Sesshoumaru watched in amusement while his ward chased after his retainer.

“Rin!” Shippou burst through the forest and ran toward Rin. “Shippou! Ahh! Not it!” Rin giggled while she ran from Shippou, who groaned, “You got fast saying that!” Rin laughed while running from the kitsune. Sesshoumaru moved his amber gaze from the kitsune and ward toward the miko who walked out from the forest soon afterward. She wasn’t going to get it that easy. Shippou launched himself toward her and jumped on her, “Hahaha! You’re it Kagome!” He jumped from her and ran away from her with Rin. Kagome blinked, “Oh? Is that so?” Her hands went into fists playfully while she started running after them, “I’ll get you two!”

“No you won’t Kagome!” Rin giggled while running faster, Shippou trailing after her. Sesshoumaru felt a soft breeze against his right side, blowing his attire and silver-white locks to the left.

*See? Now, that is a family.*

#A really weird one-#

*You’re weird as well.*

~All of us are. Can it!~

*Never be normal!*

#Yay!#

~You two are so related......~

Kagome finally tagged Rin, who squealed in surprise and excitement. “Aww!” She giggled while running after Shippou and Kagome. Kagome, who was faster than both of them, went behind Sesshoumaru. “I’m not a shield.”

“Now you are.” Rin, who saw that Kagome went toward Sesshoumaru, laughed and ran toward them. “Kagome! You can’t hide behind Lord Sesshoumaru, that’s cheating.” Giggling she went to the right, which made Kagome move to Sesshoumaru’s right side. “No it’s not.” Rin ran toward her, which only made her start running again out in the field. “Awww! No fair! Kagome!” She ran after the miko while Sesshoumaru shook his head, but, a small smile was on his mouth.

-------------------------------------------------

“She’s gone again?!” Inuyasha’s right ear twitched along with his right eyebrow. “We’ll never get the jewel shards at this pace!”

“Now Inuyasha, remember what I said the other day?”

“Fuck that! She could wait at night!” Angered, the half-breed stomped away, following the scent. “I think we should go this time.” Sango nodded and both of them followed Inuyasha while Kirara stayed at the campsite.

-------------------------------------------------

Rin giggled while tackling Kagome’s leg, “This is so much fun!” Kagome smiled but shouted in surprise that Shippou tackled her neck, “Ah! Shippou!” Rin soon wrapped her arms around the poor miko’s waist, which made the three of them fall down. Rin giggled, “Hehehe, whoops.” She smiled, while Kagome laughed and Shippou rubbed the back of his head. Kagome looked up at the sky, seeing the puffy white clouds move slowly. Rin looked up at the clouds and looked back down at Kagome. Laughing, she laid down to Kagome’s left while Shippou followed suit on her right.

“That cloud looks like a dragon!”

“No it doesn’t, it looks like a shark!”

“Nuh uh!”

“Yeah huh!”

Kagome laughed at their argument, “Alright, it’s a mix between a dragon and a shark.” That made all of them three with the giggle fits. One caught Kagome’s eye. ‘Hey......that one looks like Sesshoumaru’s true form.’ Indeed it did. It was posed up, while its massive body followed suit with his head. It looked like he was posing for a painting, or, a picture. Another memory flowed into her mind, remembering seeing it again yesterday...

The dragon obeyed and flew off. Sesshoumaru walked toward Kagome, bending his muzzle down he licked Kagome’s wound, the poison only damaging the blood coming out from her wrist while some of it seemed to close up the flesh. Kagome moaned and cried out when she felt the poison merge her flesh back together. “Sess......hou......ah...maru.” She hugged the bridge of his nose, enjoying the soft fur against her bare skin. The demon lord stood there while the miko hugged his muzzle. To anyone walking in any moment they would think that the miko had tamed him. Without thinking, Kagome kissed the bridge of his nose and layed her right cheek back on it again.

A blush appeared on her face and brought up her hands, almost like she was crying, but, groaned. Rin and Shippou looked at her. “What’s wrong Kagome?” Taking her hands away, she looked back up at the sky, “Nothing, just a bit tired.”

“Ohh, you didn’t sleep good last night?”

“Mm, mm.” Kagome shook her head side to side while she kept looking at the sky-mostly the dog cloud. “Kagome!” Inuyasha burst through the trees, interrupting everyone. Sesshoumaru narrowed his amber gaze while Lord Jaken sighed. ‘Oh boy, here we go again.’ Ah-Un just snorted.

Kagome groaned, “I wish he would stop doing this.” She got up from the ground and looked at Inuyasha, “What now Inuyasha? I told you that-hey!” Inuyasha grabbed her hand, “Let’s go.” Huffing, she swiped her arm away, “Do you mind Inuyasha? I told you that I would come and play with Rin.”

“Keh.” Inuyasha’s right eyebrow twitched, “Do it at night then! We won’t be able to get the jewel shards at this rate!”

“Then why don’t you go by yourself?”

“I don’t want to.”

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, her sapphire eyes studying him while she frowned, “Why?”

“Because! I need you with me!”

Kagome crossed her arms, “Oh, because you want your shard detector with you?” Inuyasha kept quiet. “Thought so. I’m staying.” When she was about to turn, Inuyasha grabbed her arm, “No.....not because you can sense the jewel shards.” A blush appeared on his face, his silver bangs barely blocking it. Kagome looked at him, making sure she heard him right. “I-I want you with me because-because I love you.” Kagome’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Wha-what?’ She looked at him, “If you love me Inuyasha-if you really do then-” Inuyasha pulled her to him, embracing her softly.

Rin was shocked, and really hurt. She really wanted Kagome to be her mom. Without another thought, she ran toward Sesshoumaru. Shippou watched her go and looked back at the hugging couple. Sesshoumaru, who watched the scene, watched as his ward ran sadly to him. He heard a hiccup come from her and looked at her in question. Rin sniffed and hugged his leg, tears falling down from her chocolate eyes. “Lor-Lord Inuyasha said he loves Kagome Lord Sesshoumaru.”

His amber gaze kept on his ward, “What did she say back?”

“I-I don’t know. I couldn’t watch it anymore Lord Sesshoumaru. I-I want her as my mommy Lord Sesshoumaru.” Sesshoumaru looked at his half-breed and miko. ‘So.....she still loves him? Even after all those times?’ His right hand went toward Rin’s head and patted it. “It’s okay Rin. Let’s go.” Rin sniffed and nodded, following him not before looking back at Inuyasha and Kagome. Ah-Un pushed her gently to start moving, not wanting her to be left behind.

“Inuyasha......” Kagome hugged him back, snuggling her face in Inuyasha’s red haori. ‘He.....he loves me.’ A smile appeared on her mouth while she hugged Inuyasha tighter.

And what about the demon lord?

Kagome blinked. ‘Sesshoumaru....?’ Another scene flashed into her mind, following along with many others...

“Thank you Sesshoumaru!” Kagome launched herself to his figure and hugged him. She received a small scratch on her right cheek from one of the points on Sesshoumaru’s armor. The scent of her blood almost made the thread of his demon control snap. Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around her, the raven locks being tangled in his slender claws. Kagome was enjoying the feel of him against her which made her burry her nose more into him very disappointed that the armor was in the way.

-~-

The demon lord’s eyes looked at the flowers below him, his amber eyes showing a flicker of one emotion: sadness. “She was...but, she got sick and didn’t get better. She soon died.” A small breeze passed through, whipping their hair, it was in the middle of being hot and cold in the sunlight.

Kagome walked up to him silently and hugged him, offering him her comfort. He wrapped his arms around her gently. They stood like that until she pulled away, “I’m going to play with Shippou and Rin.” A nod was given to her from him, so she turned on her heel and ran toward the two children, her hair and outfit being blown by the force of her running.

-~-

"I'm going back."

"Why?"

"You know the reason why!" Turning toward where Shippou and Rin were playing and was about to shout Shippou's name so they would leave, but something stopped her. That something was a chest. A damn well built chest against her back. Her blush appeared once again.

"Is this the reason why?" His voice was now low, like a whisper, while he put his right hand on her hip with his left hand splayed on her neck, almost like a possessive movement. Kagome's breathing was loud and short while her heart sped up. 'I wish he-wait, why is he doing this? And why is my body tingling? This is Inuyasha's brother for crying out loud!' Kagome closed her sapphire eyes hard, while she wrenched her body away from him. "Don't do that!" Whirling around, she faced him, who had his arms on his sides, his amber eyes as casual as if nothing happened.

"Don't do what?" Kagome groaned and stomped off and sat down on the slope of the hill.

-~-

“I see.” Sesshoumaru looked at the field, seeing the flowers making a wave effect by the wind, “It's what happens when you spend time with her. She gets attached, and once she is attached, she won't let go. Although, on my hand, I saved her life, and she chose on her own to follow me. I didn't seem to care, even though I wanted to. Plus,” Sesshoumaru knelt down to her level, his amber gaze now holding her sapphire one, “she's a child and doesn't know what would happen. She wouldn't even take the sight of so many others dying by the rampage of other demons to come and attack my lands.”

Kagome sighed, knowing he was right, “So, you're saying you'll be willing to deal with her while the days wear on when I am gone and she won't have me or Shippou to come and play with her?”

A smile appeared on his lips, “Very smart.” Sesshoumaru brought his hand up to a strand of hair on the left side of her face, rubbing it between his fingers...

-~-

“You’re protecting her!”

“From you.” Sesshoumaru’s right hand let out the whip of light, which hit Inuyasha on the left cheek, a shout of pain coming from him. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha still had red eyes, but Sesshoumaru was still in control with his half-way demon self than Inuyasha. “But it’s you! You’re fucking protecting her!” Inuyasha had landed on the ground in a skid while Sesshoumaru looked at his brother in silence.

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, waiting for his answer.

Poison dripped from the demon lord’s right claw, the ground hissing when it melted it away. Finally, his voice came out in a hiss and a lower octave, “So what if I am?” His form was nothing until he dug his claws into Inuyasha’s right shoulder, “There’s no law against that, is there?” He dug more and more, the poison hissing when coming in contact with the half-breed bone, melting it, “Is there?!” His voice was now a shout when a wind source out of no where picked up his bangs and hair while he pushed the half-breed away.

-~-

Sesshoumaru walked toward Kagome, bending his muzzle down he licked Kagome’s wound, the poison only damaging the blood coming out from her wrist while some of it seemed to close up the flesh. Kagome moaned and cried out when she felt the poison merge her flesh back together. “Sess...hou...ah...maru.” She hugged the bridge of his nose, enjoying the soft fur against her bare skin. The demon lord stood there while the miko hugged his muzzle. To anyone walking in any moment would think that the miko had tamed him. Without thinking, Kagome kissed the bridge of his nose and layed her right cheek back on it again.

‘She-what is she-’ Wincing, his red eyes closed and pulled away from her. Shimmering down to his humanoid form he untied his obi and took off his armor. The outer haori was in his hands now and he walked over to Kagome giving it to her. “Wear this.”

“A-are you sure?”

“Would you rather walk around like that?”

Kagome blushed, “No.”

-~-

Sesshoumaru went to her eyes and licked the tears. The movements made Kagome close her eyes while another blush came upon the bridge of nose while she felt the soft tongue of the demon lord lick her tears away. When he accidentally licked the skin below her eyebrow, she gasped and shuddered. Pulling her head down fast while Sesshoumaru let his right hand release her left, letting it go forward underneath her chin and pushing it up. Glassy sapphire eyes locked with soft amber ones.

“Sesshoumaru...” Kagome breathed out his name while he let go of her chin, going to her bangs running his fingers through her hair. His left arm pulled her closer to him, his tall and slim form now against her soft and petite. Kagome’s sapphire eyes widened while her breath hitched when she saw the emotions in the demon lord’s amber eyes. Before she knew it, he put his forehead on hers, his silver bangs merging with her black ones. “Kagome...” He pulled her closer to him, feeling her fit perfectly with his body. His right hand went to the base of her neck, above her headphones, “What...have you done to me?”

Amber eyes closed themselves in contentment while sapphire eyes looked up at the demon lord in awe of his beauty. “Done...to you?” She shifted against him, now wishing she hadn’t since she enjoyed the feeling down below her hips. Closing her eyes, she bit back a moan surfacing in her. While doing so, she bent down and her body moved against him again.. ‘Ah! Stop that!’ A growl, a soft one, made her look up at the demon lord, who still had his eyes closed and looked like he was enjoying it. “What...” A breath came out from the demon lord while he felt his fangs lengthen and looked down at her, “...are you trying to do?” The words slipped through his teeth, almost like a hiss and a whisper combined. Kagome blushed, “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t-what I mean is-” Making a frustrated groan she let her head fall, “I mean-I do not know...” Her forehead rested itself on cloth. White cloth, which was worn by the demon lord. ‘Oops...’ Kagome immediately pulled her head up, the blush reappearing and getting darker. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to-”

A finger landed on her lips, silencing her. “I know.” Sesshoumaru moved the tip of his nail over lips, which earned a squirm, and an amusing noise, from Kagome. “Don’t do that! That tickles!” Sesshoumaru let out a deep chuckle and did it again. Kagome groaned and batted his hand away, “Stop that!” The hand, the right, came back to her, only to trail the nail across her cheek, underneath her jaw, and then back up across the chin to her lips. “And...what if I don’t want to? What are you going to do about it Kagome?” A sly smirk appeared on the demon lord’s face, which earned a glare from the miko. “I’ll-” She kept her face scrunched up in anger while she though to herself, ‘What will I do?’ Before she even thought about it, she leaned up and kissed the lips of the demon lord.

Big mistake.

Sesshoumaru was taken back at her very bold action. But, the moment only lasted until she broke the kiss. The blush was now the color of ketchup, “I’m-sorry that-that wasn’t supposed to happen-” Kagome tried to pull away and run, but, Sesshoumaru kept her there. “Why are you running?”

“I just kissed you!” Kagome tried to get out of his grip once again, wanting to go and be on her own to over think why these things were happening. Sesshoumaru lifted up his right eyebrow, “Is that a bad thing?” He watched as she stopped struggling and looked up at him. Sesshoumaru brought down his head again to her left eye and licked the skin below her eye, chuckling when she shuddered. A moan came from her while he continued, “Please...stop...” Sesshoumaru did so and let go of her, watching her as she picked up that strange round device in her right hand. Before she went, she turned toward him and smiled, “I’ll see you later Sesshoumaru.” And with that, she ran off back to her friends.

‘Sesshoumaru.............’ Kagome closed her eyes and wrenched herself away from Inuyasha, who now is looking at her in surprise. “Ka-Kagome?” Kagome looked at him with tears running down her cheeks. Inuyasha blinked and walked toward her. “No! Stay back!” Kagome backed away while she put her hands onto her face. ‘Why is this happening to me? I love Inuyasha! Not his brother!’

“Kagome?” Inuyasha went up to her, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing is wrong!” But, he didn’t listen. He came up to her and pulled her into his embrace. “Kagome......” Inuyasha put his chin on top of her head, but, this only made it worse.

Kagome..........

‘That voice.......it sounds like............Sesshoumaru’s.’

I will always save you........no matter what....... The image of the demon lord entered her mind from the dream, his silver white hair blowing in the wind while his amber gaze pierced through the night with it’s color and softness. His face, kami, is what shocked her! Looked so loving toward her. Only toward her. Just for her. ‘No!’ Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha, “No!” Inuyasha blinked at her while watching her, his heart swelling. “Ka-Kagome?”

“I’m sorry Inuyasha-but....I don’t love you anymore.” Kagome looked down at the ground. Inuyasha blinked again and growled, his hands turning into fists. “Kagome....don’t tell me that you love my brother.” He went toward her, holding her shoulders, “Not him.” Kagome looked up at him, her sapphire eyes now filled with new tears,

“Inuyasha.........I-I’m sorry.”

“No.” He shook her, “No Kagome! You’re mine! You’ll always be mine!”

“Stop it Inuyasha!” She pushed him away, “Don’t make this any harder!”

“Me?! Making it harder?! You’re making it harder! I love you Kagome! I. Love. You!” Kagome closed her eyes, the tears now spilling down her cheeks, “You’re too late to say that Inuyasha.” Inuyasha groaned in frustration, “He gets everything! How can you love him already?!”

Kagome glared at him, tears still running down her cheeks, while she vented her anger out, “Like I would know!”

“Sure you do! You fell in love with him! I don’t think he even loves you back for that matter! I do! I said it to you, he hasn’t!”

Kagome looked at Inuyasha sadly, “You-You really don’t know what love really is Inuyasha.....you don’t have to say it to tell them. He showed it to me! He was nice to me! He saved me twice! He did everything that you didn’t do at all!”

“I did too!”

“You were a jerk!”

“Not my problem that you don’t like my fucking attitude now, do you?” Inuyasha went up to her again, grabbing her shoulders gently, “Please Kagome.....you are all that I have of-”

“-seeing Kikyou.”

“What? No! No, no, no! Stop doing that Kagome! She’s dead!”

“You kissed her.”

“Aaagghh! Kagome!” Kagome had had enough and pulled away from him, “Just forget it Inuyasha and let’s go. You made them leave anyways.” Inuyasha growled, ‘Damnit! Whatever that bastard did, it made her fall for him.’

-------------------------------------------------

Crickets chirped into the night, being interrupted by a low rumble in the clouds. Rin walked sadly, not in the mood to be happy. Ah-Un was walking lazily while Lord Jaken kept waddling. Rin started crying again-softly-and looked at Sesshoumaru. Her savior. The low rumble sounded once again in the sky, letting out the rain to fall down fast. It dripped on the earth below it was a garden being watered forever and ever.

Sesshoumaru was having more trouble than Rin.

*Damn rain........*

#At least your hilt is nice and neat-mine’s horrible!#

~Oh shut up. You don’t have a damn ribbon on your damn hilt you freak.~

#Huh? What’s up with-#

*Rain. He hates it. Heheh.....*

Sesshoumaru looked up at the sky while he kept walking, ‘Are they against me or what?’

*Ehh, probably not. Your brother just is.*

‘Heh.’ His black shoes landed in a big puddle, which muddied up his shoes and pants a bit. ‘I bet she’s having fun with him right now.’

*Didn’t know you were so-perverted.*

#He’s a dog........what do you expect?#

~You’re a sword, keep your damn mouth shut!~

#Fine........#

Rin let out a sneeze, “Ahhh, Lord Sesshoumaru.” Sesshoumaru stopped and turned toward her. “I think I got a cold Lord Sesshoumaru.” Rin sniffed and wiped her left hand across her nose. She did have a red nose, which wasn’t very good. “Wait here. I’ll go find a cave.” In a blur, he used his demon speed to find the said shelter, unaware of being close to a certain group nearby.

-------------------------------------------------

‘Agh, I forgot my umbrella once again! Well......it’s good that it’s not cold.’

“Kagome.” Shippou hopped onto her shoulder, his wet form now adding more weight on her shoulders. “Yes Shippou?” He leaned his mouth to her ear, his left hand covering it, like he was telling her a secret, “Rin really, really wants you to be her mommy.” Kagome sighed and looked at Shippou, “I know Shippou.” Shippou frowned, “Do you want her to be her mommy?” Kagome looked at Inuyasha and then back at Shippou, bringing up her right hand, whispering the word, “Yes.”

Shippou smiled and almost shouted out for joy but was stopped by Kagome’s right hand, “Shh!” Shippou giggled and hugged her neck, “She’ll be happy when we get there later on.” Kagome smiled, “I sure hope so.”

‘And, maybe I can talk with Sesshoumaru.......’ She looked up at the cloudy, dark sky, ‘I really want to see him........’ The image of him before appeared once again in her mind, which made her smile.

‘Sesshoumaru..........I love you.......’

“Come on! I can see a small shack below this damned hill.” They followed Inuyasha, who went ahead of anyone, tired of being in the rain while the others followed slowly.

-------------------------------------------------

Sesshoumaru finally found a cave for them to stay. Rin started to shiver, “Lor-Lord Sess-Sesshoum-ma-maru, I’m ca-ca-cold.” Sesshoumaru looked over at Rin, “Come over here then.” Rin did so, running toward him. He picked her up in his lap and guided his tail around her, watching her snuggle into it while she fell asleep.

Rin sniffed and hugged his leg, tears falling down from her chocolate eyes. “Lor-Lord Inuyasha said he loves Kagome Lord Sesshoumaru.”

His amber gaze kept on his ward, “What did she say back?”

“I-I don’t know. I couldn’t watch it anymore Lord Sesshoumaru. I-I want her as my mommy Lord Sesshoumaru.” Sesshoumaru looked at his half-breed and miko. ‘So.....she still loves him? Even after all those times?’ His right hand went toward Rin’s head and patted it. “It’s okay Rin. Let’s go.” Rin sniffed and nodded, following him not before looking back at Inuyasha and Kagome.

‘Why does this scene keep coming up?’

*Gee, I don’t know, maybe because-you love her?*

#Love can give you headaches........major ones, especially when images keep running on and on-#

~Shut. The. Hell. Up. I think we all know.~

#Grouchy.#

~Whiny.~

#Bitchy.#

~Loud mouth.~

#Jackass.#

~Loser.~

#Ah-eh-a-arg! Damn you!#

Lightning flashed brightly, its light almost blinding them, while thunder clapped in the sky loudly afterward. Rin winced and snuggled more into the demon lord’s lap. “I hate it when there’s thunder.”

“Why is that?” Oh, he knew why...

“Because.....it’s loud!”

“What about lightning?”

“It’s fine-it doesn’t make any sound.”

“Mmm, but, it can kill you.”

“It can?” Rin sat up in his lap and looked up at him, her nose still red.

“Indeed.”

“Oh...” And right then, lightning flashed again while the thunder came over it. Rin flinched at it but, didn’t whine this time. “Can it hurt us here?”

“No.”

“That’s good.” Rin smiled up at Sesshoumaru, who looked down at her, seeing that same smile that he saw when she saw him wounded after Inuyasha used the Wind Scar. ‘Although.....it’s not the same that Kagome gives....’

-------------------------------------------------

“Finally.” Inuyasha went toward the opening of the shack, or, what seemed like one. “It’s abandoned. We can use it.” He walked in, the others following inside. “We need some wood.”

“Great....I’ll go-ahhchoo!”

“Uh oh, he’s getting sick.”

“No shit Sherlo-ah ah ahchoo!” Inuyasha sniffed and growled, “Damnit! I don’t see why I get sick while you all don’t!”

“Well......we have these.”

“Kagome doesn’t though!”

“Yeah, I don’t have them.”

Shippou smirked, “And, she takes good care of herself, unlike you.” He closed his eyes while smiling, Inuyasha looking at him with a deadly glare. “Shiiiiipou!”


“Sit.”

Wham!

“The hell?! I didn’t do-ahchoo-anything! Arrrg!”

“Sure you didn’t. I know you too well that after you say his name like that, you’re about to hit him.”

“Gah!” Inuyasha stayed in his crater, since it acted like a bed for him. “Whatever. Someone just needs to go and get some firewood.”

“It’s raining. I doubt any of the wood will be useful.”

“Actually, there is a tree to the west of here.”
Kagome’s heart rate sped up from the mention of the word “west” and without thinking, she shouted, “I’ll go!” Everyone looked at her while she sweatdropped. “I’ll be fine.”

“I guess you’re right. Lord Sesshoumaru wouldn’t like any of us to be in his lands.”

“Keh. She just wants to see him.”

Kagome, and the others, ignored him. “Shippou, want to come?”

“Ah-ah. I want to stay here.”

“Alright. I’ll be back soon!”

-------------------------------------------------

Sesshoumaru decided to walk around in his lands, leaving the others in the cave. There were a few demons trying to challenge him, but, he killed them. The thought of such weaklings challenging him was quite amusing but, a waste of time. It was either fight them, or loose his lands.

*Boooriiinnnng. We need more powerful ones. Heheh, let’s fight each other. I’m up first!*

#......um.....are you okay Tenseiga?#

~She’s into the dark side.~

*Don’t worry, I have a lantern to find my way to the hot fudge sundae at the end.*

#The what?#

*It’s a type of desert. Come on people!*

#Never-oh yes, yes I have. Hahaha.#

~.......yup, you two are really related.~

*Bored. It happens. Plus, there’s nothing else to do but hang on for dear life on this obi. Heheh.*

~True......but, I have a more square one.~

#Lucky bastard. We have round ones.#

*At least there’s pressure to hold us up.*

#True that.#

Sesshoumaru felt a massive headache coming but, soon disappeared when he sensed someone. ‘What is she doing here?’

*She? Oh ho-she wants to see you.*

#And here comes her -romantic- mode.#

*Shut up. At least it’s not the -idiot- mode.*

~Heheheheh.~

#Damnit! Why can’t I ever have the good line?!#

-------------------------------------------------

“Ah!” Kagome jumped down from a rock that was in her way, landing on the low ground below, some of the mud splashing to the side while she balanced herself so not to fall. She still had Sesshoumaru’s haori and obi on, since she never got the chance to go back home and it was raining calmly now. “I wonder how faaarrr whoa!” Kagome grabbed a trunk of a tree nearby and straightened herself up. “Phew.....that was close.” Kagome sighed and looked up at the canopy of the trees she was surrounded by, seeing the cloudy sky and feeling the cold raindrops fall onto her.

“I hope it’s-eh ah-closer now.” Kagome soon fell upon a clearing, full of grass, and was happy to find it. Her feet were happy too, but, were even happier when she took off her shoes. “Ahhh, that feels good.” The rain made the grass stick to her a bit, but, she didn’t mind. Sitting down, she sprawled out her legs and looked up at the sky, the sky all nice and cloudy. She heard the rain pelt the grass gently, creating a soothing mood. “I wish I had my camera. It’s so beautiful.” Leaning back, she put her hands on the ground, feeling the grass tickle her with their wet tips while the wind brushed against her softly.

She watched the cloudy, gray clouds move to the west slowly, wishing she were a cloud. Being able to go around the world freely, but, soon disappearing and then being made over and over again. But, she was made for a reason. As well as a purpose. What purpose? She has yet to find out. With a long sigh she sat up and wiped her hands, a couple of wet blades falling from her hands and to her kimono. Sesshoumaru’s haori. Kagome blushed while wiping them off to the side and got back up. “I’ll just walk through without shoes and when I get to the end.”

The grass squished below her feet, feeling them caressing her ankles like slimy snakes while she walked across the field. Grasshoppers twitched their antennae in the air, searching for their friends while hopping on the plants. The clouds moved slowly up above, like a traffic jam during the busy hour of a weekday. Shoes were slipped on her feet while she reached the end of the grassy field. With a sigh, she started walking into the forest once again, her feet a bit unhappy when the shoe connected with the ground. 'I just have to find that tree, get the wood and then go back.'

“Why, hello there. I believe I haven't seen you before.”

Kagome moved her head to the left and the to the right, trying to find who had spoken. A chuckle came out, words following it, “To your far left.”
Kagome looked to the left more and saw-a tree with a head in it's bark! “Eh?” Turning toward it, and walking toward it so she could stand in front of her. “You-”

“Before you freak out, I am Bokusenou. I'm a magical tree.”

'That's obvious...’ thought Kagome. “Are you the tree who doesn't get wet?”

The head tried to give her a nod, “Indeed, I am. You need some wood?” Kagome nodded while smiling, “Yeah. My group does.” The head let out a sound of what seemed something had vibrated in his throat-trunk in his case. “Ahh, do you have something to cut them with?”

“No. Not really.”

“Hmm-that's not good. I don't think there's nothing, or someone, around to help you-”

“Is that so Bokusenou?”

Bokusenou's eyes rolled to the left, while Kagome turned her head to the familiar calm voice. The same voice that belonged to the one who had haunting her. The demon lord walked out from the trees to reveal himself, his hair damp, as well as his attire and tail, but, still looked beautiful. 'I bet if he had mud on him, he would look beautiful as well.' A smile appeared on her lips, “Hello Sesshoumaru.” He gave a nod to her while he walked to her far right. “So....what branch should I cut?”

“This one.” Bokusenou wiggled the branch, some of the leaves hanging on it falling to the earth below in a swaying action. Sesshoumaru brought up his right arm, letting the whip used to kill so many people in the past years, cut down small parts, to be firewood, for the woman he had met six days ago. Without realizing it, he was slowly falling...

“Thank you Sesshoumaru.” Kagome went to the pieces of wood that were cut perfectly by the demon lord's whip and put them in her arms one by one. She did have difficulty at first to bend down to get the others but, finally got them to be in her arms without a fuss. “I'm going to go back. My group is probably getting worried.”

“Sesshoumaru, you should probably go with her.”

“Hmm?” The demon lord looked at Bokusenou.

“Oh no, he doesn't have to.”

“Afraid?”

“Eh?” Kagome blinked her sapphire eyes at the demon lord, who seemed to be......teasing her? “Afraid? Now, why would I be afraid?”

“Afraid I might have something else I need to do?”

“Ohh.....no-well-yeah. You don't have to come with me if you don't want-”

Sesshoumaru just walked toward her, passing her, “Come. I have nothing else to do.” Kagome sighed, “You know, I can take care of myself-” She started walking behind him but, stopped when he stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder. “I didn't say you couldn't Kagome. I just want to take you back to the group.”

“You-you do?”

He let a small smile appear on his lips, “Now, you know I do not lie.” With a frustrated and playful groan, Kagome rolled her eyes, “Yes. I. Know.” Sesshoumaru smirked, “Good.” Turning his back forward, he started walking again, Kagome behind him. Oh, he loved to tease her, enjoying that fiery glow in her sapphire eyes-making them enchanting and wanting to get lost in them forever.

When they got close to the shack that Kagome and her group were staying in, Sesshoumaru stopped and looked at her, “Here you are.” Kagome smiled, “Thanks again Sesshoumaru.” While she walked by him, he caught her left arm gently, which made sparks of pleasure surge through the both of them. “Before you go Kagome...” His eyes met hers, who were in question. “Meet me here tonight. I want to show you something.” Kagome smiled tenderly, “Alright. Thanks again for helping me, as well as coming with me.” Sesshoumaru watched her walk down the path before transforming once again to his true form to go back to his lands.

“Hey guys! I'm back and have the firewood!” Kagome came in the shack with a smile on her face. Sango looked up and smiled, “Welcome back-oh my-that's a lot.” Sango got up and helped Kagome while Miroku made a square hole in the middle of the floor so they could put the firewood there without the shack catching on fire. Shippou sent a foxfire toward it, lighting the firewood into flames, which sent warm waves in the shack.

Inuyasha had smelt the scent of his brother on Kagome right when she walked in. 'They probably hugged again.' Growling mentally, he shifted his laying position so he was facing the wall while he layed on his right side.

“How did you get these so cut perfectly Kagome?”

“I-I had some help.”

“By who?”

“Keh, isn't it obvious? That bastard of a half-brother of mine did. After all, it was in his lands.”

“He actually helped you Kagome?”

“He didn't attack you?”

“Yes Miroku he did. No Sango, we're friends.”

'Heh, friends my ass.' Inuyasha grumbled. “And, um-I'm going to meet him later on.” Now, that made him even more mad, “Why?” Shifting into a sitting position facing her, his amber eyes looked at her like she was a disgrace. “He has something to show me.” Everyone's eyebrows lifted, eyes were widened while gasps filled the room.

“W-what?!”

“Show you something?”

“Do you trust him that much?”

“I wonder what it is.”

Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha turned at Shippou, “Shippou!”

“What? I'm just wondering.”

“Yes, he wants to show me something. Why wouldn't I trust him? He's done a lot. He's saved me and been very nice to me the past six days.” Inuyasha growled, jumping up, “There's no way in hell that you're going!” Kagome glared at Inuyasha, “You can't order me to do anything.” Inuyasha went toward her, grabbing her right arm and dragged her out in the forest so he talk to her alone.

“What is the matter with you Inuyasha?”

“Did anything I say to you in that field mean anything to you?!” Kagome blinked her sapphire eyes and glared at him, “I told you that I didn't love you anymore! What part can you not get?!” Her hands were now in fists by her hips while she shouted back. “Why don't you love me anymore?”

“Because you had so many chances! You hurt me by seeing Kikyou all the time!”

“I'm sorry. You would've done the-”

“No I wouldn't Inuyasha! I would never, ever, do that!”

“But, why him Kagome?”

“I'm not-”

“Yes you are! You told me today that you did! You're still wearing his haori for kami's sake!”

“That's because I haven't had any time because you just want to keep finding the jewel shards.”

“You still had those other times, like, going at night? Oh yeah! You saw him that time as well!”

“Sit.”

Wham!

“I can't believe you're jealous over your brother. You had Kikyou before and he had no one. But, this is not pity for him. I love him Inuyasha. If you were me, then you would understand, but, since you're not, I'm sorry. Find someone else to share your life with.” Inuyasha grunted when he got up from the small crater and walked up to her. “Kagome.....please-”

'Does he not get it?!'

“-be careful.” Inuyasha took her in a hug-tightly-and let her go. He soon ran into the forest before Kagome could say anything back. Wanting time to think, she went to the area where she was to meet Sesshoumaru later on. 'Inuyasha is jealous of his brother.' She sighed mentally while she kept walking. 'Why does life get harder? I still do have feelings for Inuyasha but, the ones for Sesshoumaru are far greater.' She stopped walking and looked at the ground. 'Come to think of it, it's even greater when I loved Inuyasha.'

-------------------------------------------------

“Ah! Lord Sesshoumaru, you're back!” Rin got up and ran to her savior happily, clinging to his left leg as always. Looking up, she caught the lord's amber gaze with her brown ones, “I'm all better now Lord Sesshoumaru. See? No sneezing.” Her smile appeared on her mouth while he patted the top of her head. “Let's go.” Rin climbed up on Ah-Un and sat on the saddle specially made for the dragon mix. They all followed Sesshoumaru who led the way.

-------------------------------------------------

Night soon came slowly over the land, the fire still crackling in the middle of the shack while everyone surrounded it, watching the dancing flames in silence. It has been that way since after they ate. The fire spit some of the wood out to the ground but went out in five milliseconds after it was airborne. Shippou picked up a stick and poked the fire without much effort. Kagome soon got an idea to break the odd silence, “I'm going to go take a bath.”

Sango blinked her brown eyes and sat up, “I'll go with you.” Kagome gave her friend a smile while the two of them got their things and went to go find the small pool of water that Kagome found while going to the Western lands.

“Wow. This is a pretty good sized one to take a bath in.” Sango and Kagome put their things beside the edge while stripping out of their clothes. “Yup, sure is.” Both of them got in the water's depths. “Ahhh. Sure feels good in a humid day.”

“Humid?”

“This type of weather is called humid in my time.”

“Ohh, I see. Yes, it sure is.” Sango brushed some hair behind her ears and looked at her friend, “So, Kagome.....do you still love Inuyasha?” Kagome sighed while getting up a bit to walk around the small parameter of water, “A little bit.” Kagome trailed her finger in the water, making odd designs in it. Sango put up her right hand on her chin, “I wonder who you love now,” she said playfully.

Kagome stopped her finger in the water and looked over at Sango, a small blush on the bridge of her nose. Sango saw it none of the less and giggled. “You know Kagome, you're probably the luckiest woman to have that demon lord save you and be kind to you.”

That only made Kagome blush more while she turned her body toward Sango and sinking back in the water until the water almost went in her ears. Her hair was like black silk swarming above and in the water. “I-I guess I am. The only problem is-what if he doesn't love me back?”

Sango dropped her hand back in the water while she looked at Kagome in question, “Now why would he reject you?” Kagome moved only her sapphire eyes to look at her, “I'm human Sango. He's a demon. We can never be together.” Sango almost replied but, decided for the demon lord to tell her the real truth instead of her. “Maybe, but-you may never know what he will say back to you.”

“I know, I'm just nervous.”

“Don't be. Now, let's wash ourselves before Inuyasha gets on us about taking to long.” Both of them giggled while they started to run the soap across their bodies while the shampoo was applied on their hair. Both of them helped out with each other's back and the back of the hair, as well as washing the shampoo off to make sure that they got all the shampoo off.

Kagome got out and dried herself and once again put on Sesshoumaru's haori. If she didn't know any better, her body dried even more than the towel would've done when the material was on her once again. It was silky, soft and still held the scent of Sesshoumaru. Sango put on her daily outfit and the both of them went back to the shack with their belongings.

When they got back, Inuyasha didn't even look at Kagome. She knew that he was still jealous and thinking that looking, or speaking, to her would keep him from getting onto her about his half-brother not deserving her. “I'm going to go now.”

“Have fun Kagome.”

“And, what is that supposed to mean Miroku?”

“Eh? I meant have a great time.” Miroku smiled nervously while he was getting a glare from Sango, as well as Inuyasha. Kagome only shook her head while laughing at Miroku's bad choice of words. A soft breeze blew against her, making the haori and her hair dance with it while she walked to the place where the demon lord was supposed to meet her. 'I wonder what he wants to show me....' The night was surely beautiful tonight, high up above the Earth was the moon, a crescent moon, glowing brightly as ever before while the stars surrounded it, enjoying the beautiful white and blue glow in the sky.

“I see my haori is still on you.”

Kagome saw the figure of the demon lord in front of her and stopped three feet from him, “Yeah, I didn't have time to go to my own time to get more clothes.” She smiled in embarrassment, her arms going behind her while the wind once again blew against them, making her appear more beautiful to the demon lord. Getting out of the trance, Sesshoumaru started walking to the right, “Follow me.” Kagome opened her eyes and followed him into the forest once again that day. The trees seemed to be appearing older when they kept walking in the same direction. She almost ran into a firefly that was crossing in front of her.

Kagome stopped in time so not to hit the insect, “Whoops, sorry.” As if the firefly understood her, its light blinked twice and flew to the direction it was going before. 'I wonder where that came from, fireflies don't just go-' Before she could finish, she was met with a beautiful scene.

A waterfall was in the far area of, what it seemed a secret place in the lands, while a tunnel was seen just below the top of where the water fell down into a big, pool of water. The mist from the water created a rainbow effect while some sakura trees were growing randomly by the water's edge. A lot of fireflies were flying around the area in groups, creating the effect of the place being enchanted. She even swore she would expect to see unicorns running underneath the waterfall for kami's sake! It was just too beautiful.

Sesshoumaru had stopped by a sakura tree that was ahead of them and smiled at her while she looked around in awe. Kagome walked forward while she looked more into the area, seeing that it was surrounded by very big, and tall, trees full of rich, green leaves. When she stopped in front of Sesshoumaru, she looked up at him with a smile of happiness on her face. “This is beautiful Sesshoumaru. Although, it looks a bit familiar-” 'That one night when I kissed him!' Sesshoumaru smiled even more when she opened her eyes in surprise, “It may look like the one where I heard you sing Kagome, but, this one....reminds me of you even more.” Kagome blushed when he wrapped his right hand around her waist to pull her close to him. “What about your armor, I might-oh-” Her sapphire eyes met with only white cloth with no armor in the way. A chuckle came from him, “No need to wear it tonight.”

He took her right hand in his left hand to bring it up to his left shoulder. Kagome blushed even more while she felt his right hand curl around her petite waist, like a snake protecting its treasure, to make her body mesh with his. “Sesshoumaru....” The demon lord moved to switch his left hand with his right, so he could cup her cheek with his right hand, rubbing it with his thumb gently, “This used to be where my mother went to relax. I only came here once and that was when I had a day off training. The fireflies knew her very well and even made her dance with them when she brought me that one day.” He moved his forehead so it would be against hers, his amber eyes closing while she did the same, both of them enjoying the feelings that were surfacing inside of them. “Kagome.....,” he whispered her name so softly and tenderly that it made a tear run down her right cheek. He licked the tear with his velvet tongue and licked her eyelid-knowing that that was a sensitive area.
Kagome let out a squeak when she felt his tongue run itself across her right eyelid, “Don't-do that!”

Sesshoumaru only gave her a chuckle and trailed his tongue to the left, outlining her jaw now and when he got to her chin, he stopped. Bringing his right hand behind her head, cupping it gently, his breath tickled her lips, “You, Kagome, have made this Sesshoumaru fall.....hard.” Without waiting for her to move, or respond, he gave her a soft and slow kiss. It seemed as if their souls woke up and started flying and swaying upward. Twisting. Turning. Demon and miko merging with each other slowly, not wanting this to go too fast for it would disappear before they knew it. Kagome's legs felt like liquid, thankful that Sesshoumaru wrapped his left arm around her tight so she wouldn't fall.

Sesshoumaru broke the kiss, wanting to see the miko that made him fall even more in the past few days slowly. Her lips were bruised while her blush was to it's fullest on the bridge of her nose, “Oh.....my....” She loved his kiss! It was better than she would ever imagine-and it almost felt like it was the only kiss that it would make her feel this wonderful!

Sesshoumaru nipped her lips and licked them, making her shudder and moan in pleasure. Kagome brought up her right hand to his left, pointed ear to scratch it at the base. This earned a small growl and a shudder from the demon lord, which made her giggle. “I found your sensitive spot.” Another chuckle came from him, “One of the few.” Now, this made our little Kagome even more curious-very. “But, the other places cannot be reached now.” Kagome's heart rate sped up while she felt something wet between her legs.

Sesshoumaru smirked at her and rested his forehead against hers once again, “Of course-we won't go to that-just now, now would we?” Oh, he was teasing her! She needed him-and now! “Sesshoumaru!” She practically lunched herself onto him, knocking him back a bit, only to regain footing. “Anxious are we?” A inhuman growl escaped from her, “Stop that! You're teasing me!” Sesshoumaru let out another soft growl while he looked at her face, “Which I love to do to you. You're face that you make when you're mad is beautiful.” A groan escaped from her when he brushed his left hand across the tip of her left breast, “A-ahhh....Sess-Sesshoumaru.” Kagome clung to him even closer, wanting his whole body to press against hers. Sesshoumaru's body was rock hard, as well as a certain place down south, which was prodding against the bottom of her stomach. Both of them felt the beautiful feeling from their sexes growing in height, wanting to have more and more of each other.

“Kagome?” The moment broke when Inuyasha interrupted the beautiful moment. “Inuyasha.” The half-breed looked over at his half-brother, who only looked back at him. He let a smirk appear on his face, “And you once said humans were weak?” Sesshoumaru looked at his half-brother in a bored way, “Why are you here?”

“Just to tell you something of course.”

“And what might that be?”

The smirk came back to Inuyasha's lips while he looked at them both, “Just tell me when the pups come of course.” Now, that had made Kagome's blush appear once again to its extreme when it made Sesshoumaru think-well-not very himself. Inuyasha waved a goodbye to them and leaped back into the forest before Kagome had time to sit him. “Why that-arg!” Kagome's hands were in fists angrily while she brought them up.

Sesshoumaru walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her petite waist, “Is there a problem with bearing our pups?”

Kagome calmed down and dropped her fists, which were now back to regular, “Eh?” She turned toward him, “But-they would be half-breeds-” She was stopped by a finger on her lips, “I will love anything that you will bare Kagome....,” he whispered and nuzzled the left side of her neck, swirling his tongue around a spot and nipped it a few time. Kagome smiled happily and hugged him, loving the feeling she got when she was with him, as well the feel of his fangs nipping her. “I love you Sesshoumaru.” When he pulled his head away from her neck, she quickly leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed him.
