Unexpected Problems

Chapter Six: One more Mishap

Two weeks had passed and he was no closer to figuring out who his mate was. Sesshoumaru was starting to lose control of his inner beast but he had been lucky enough to have been alone both time and was quick to regain control. Still that was too many times for him. He really needed to find out who she was. Sesshoumaru found him self out in the forest surrounding his Castle watching the fog drift through the trees. While watching the fog Sesshoumaru was remembering the day he found his mate and what had happened before hand hoping that there was some clue there that would help him find her.

Sesshoumaru remembered he had still been hunting Naraku when he had caught scent of his brother. He decided that he may as well burn a little energy by fighting his brother. It was as he got closer that Naraku scent had reached his nose making him move a little fast feeling that the day was finally looking up. Sesshoumaru had reached the clearing just as the battle started, Inuyasha and his human friends already fighting while the little neko was in her battle form carrying the fox child fighting a few low level demons. Sesshoumaru had left Rin with Ah-Un at the edge of the clearing where she was eventually joined by the fox child and the neko. It was after that the memories began to blur, he remember attacking Naraku and slicing him in half. He had an image of Inuyasha bent over his arm with his hand sticking out of the boy’s back. After that the memories became flashes of bare female skin and sexual sensation.

Sesshoumaru was roused from his scattered memories but the annoying voice of his retainer.

“Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord Sesshoumaru that nasty little human will not listen to me.” Jaken screeched as he ran toward the Lord of the West.

Sesshoumaru brought Jaken’s head long flight to a stop with his foot firmly planted in the toad’s face.

“Jaken, what happend to you and Rin during the battle against Naraku?” Sesshoumaru commanded not even looking door at Jaken laid out on the forest floor.

It was Rin that answered as she came skipping up cradling a bunch of flowers in her arms to present them to the demon she thought of as her father.

“It was amazing Lord Sesshoumaru, Naraku attacked us but Kagome got this shield up and attacked him. Lord Sesshoumaru you slice him in half, he went up in a cloud of purple. Kagome put Shippou Jaken and Rin of the back of Ah-Uh and told us to go. Ah-Uh took us to this field and it had all this pretty flowers for Rin to pick. Rin played with Shippou and Jaken . It was fun can I go play with Shippou again Lord Sesshoumaru?”

Jaken lay on the ground glaring at Rin, and Rin was happy to sit at Lord Sesshoumaru side playing with her flowers. Lord Sesshoumaru sat there thinking, going over what Rin had rattled of before coming to a decision. He started to walk further into the forest before stoping and looking over his shoulder.

“Come Rin. Jaken get Ah-Uh and catch up.” With that he was of walking again with Rin running and playing around him.

“What is wrong Kagome?” Asked Shippou as he watched Kagome straighten up from behind a bush where she had been emptying her stomach.

“Nothing wrong with her she is just a weak human holding up the search for the shards once again.” Inuyasha grumbled from his perch high in the trees surrounding their current camp sight.

“SIT” the world echo through the camp along with the thud of Inuyasha kissing dirt after falling from his tree branch.

“What was that for you bitch? You have been in a bad mood for two weeks now.” Inuyasha screamed when he was finally able to jump to his feet again.

Kagome could only look at him not believing his stupidity. For all his supposed superiority he had not once asked about her shift in scent. She had been fielding question from Shippou as soon as she had returned to two weeks ago. Nor had he noticed that since she had returned from home four days after their battle with Naraku her clothes leaned toward the baggy and concealing variety.

Kagome was still staring at Inuyasha as he continued to rant about her bad moods succeeding in making her only madder. The only thing she could think of was how good it must feel for Sesshoumaru to use his energy whip on Inuyasha. In the next instant a pink purity energy whip had extended from Kagome’s finger tips and was flicked at Inuyasha connecting with his Shoulder leaving a smoking wound in its wake.

“Wow! Kagome how did you do that?” asked an excited Shippou jumping up looking at Kagome with his usual love and admiration.

“I don’t Know Shippou.” Whispered Kagome staring with sickening horror at the wound she had inflected on her friend.
