Hullo and welcome to our story! This story is going to be different in its
layout. This story is composed of many nights of role playing with friend,
Kelly, over the internet. So each paragraph has a different author. Kelly
is Kagome and I, Legolas, am Sesshoumaru. Please keep this in mind while
reading this story! I had all of our idle chat stuck in here too, but
Kelly didn't think that you guys wanted to read it! So I took them
out....maybe some of you would like to read them? I thought that they were
funny...maybe it's one of those you-had-to-be-there-to-get-it type deals...
Chance Meetings
Warnings! OOC Sesshoumaru lies ahead! I'm just a funny person and it comes out in my role playing...sorry Sesshy fans! Disclaimer! I do not own Sesshoumaru, Kagome, Inuyasha, Grampa, or Sota...or anyone else for that matter...
~~~~~~
Kagome walks through the forest as she clenches her fists tightly. She had just returned from her time to find that Inuyasha had left without her again. She was fuming mad as she stomped angrily through the forest.
Sesshoumaru sat quietly beside the lake as he watched leaves fall from the trees onto the water. He watched and counted the ripples that each fallen leaf made. He was bored as nothing exciting had happened of late. He sat with his back towards the towering trees of the forest.
Kagome walked out into a clearing to find someone sitting at the edge of the lake. Curiously, she walked closer before realizing who it was. Now fully aware of what danger she could be in, she took a step backwards and stiffened as a loud snap of a stick rang loudly through the silent forest.
He turns his head and sees her standing there. He slowly gets up and turns and faces her. There is no expression of his face as he walks towards her...his gaze never leaving Kagome's.
She started slowly taking several steps back as she started to bite her lower lip nervously. Her first thought was to run but she knew she couldn't out run him, so instead she settled with her small steps backing away from him.
He ever so slightly smiles as he backs her up against a tree. "...all alone? I was under the impression that my half-breed brother was in love with you...perhaps I was mistaken?"
Hurt flashed across her face as she stared at him. "Inuyasha never loved me. His heart belongs to somebody else." She put on her best poker face, to try to look like she wasn't scared of him, though she failed miserably when her eyes seemed to show it even if her face didn't.
He quirks an eyebrow and stares at her harder. "...then perhaps you are wasting your feelings on the whelp. He's much too ignorant to understand what you are feeling anyway."
She moved her head a bit to the side as she looked at him. "And you would? You seem like you would be a lot worse than him when it comes to those kinds of feelings." Her curiousness seemed to override the fear for now as she studied him.
He leans closer and glares at her. "..And why do you say that, girl? Is it because the only time you have seen me is when I am fighting Inuyasha? You think I do nothing but kill, do you not? If I did that, wouldn't you think that you would be dead by now?" He brings his hand up to her face and slowly rakes his claws against it.
With her eyes wide she flattened herself against the tree, the harsh bark of it rubbing painfully against her back as she closed her eyes and turned her head away from Sesshoumaru. "No, more like how you're so cold." Her shaky voice answered back, even though she knew she shouldn't have said that.
He blinks then rubs his hands together quickly and blows on them, trying to warm them up. He places his hands against Kagome's cheek. "...how is that? I did not think my hands were that cold..."
A huge smile started to spread across her face as she tried so hard not to laugh or smile but was failing. In the end, she ended up bursting out laughing, thinking it was incredibly funny. She never thought she would have ever seen him act like that.
He jumped back a little as she started to laugh and blinked. "...why are you laughing? I have done nothing." He just stares as he listens to her laughter and hopes no one hears it and stumbles across them.
His words made her laugh even more. It took several moments but she finally got herself under control, but a huge smile was still on her face. "I'm sorry...you just took that so literally...I didn't meant it like that." Another small giggle escaped from her mouth before she could stop herself but she got herself under control before she could start another laugh attack.
He lifts a brow as he stares at her with a confused look on his face before tapping on her head with a single finger and asking in the mister-know-it- all voice. "...well then, child, please enlighten me for I was brought up thinking that cold was the opposite of hot."
She shook her head a bit. "When I said you're cold, I didn't mean your body temperature; I meant your personality...but..." She wrinkled her nose a bit confused. "Now I'm not too sure if you're cold or not. You're acting completely different from what I imagined you to be."
He lets it sink in for a moment and ponders on it. "...I am assuming that a cold personality is not a good one." He taps his chin thoughtfully for a moment. "...and you had my personality all imagined up, huh? That is not a wise thing to do, if you do not mind me saying."
"Not all of your personality, just from what I've seen of you, I mean, you have to admit, I didn't really have a great first impression of you, and they do say that first impressions are the most important, those are the ones that tend to stay with you the most."
He smirks as he remembers the first time they met. "...ah yes...I do not suppose that was a very good first impression. Desperate times call for desperate measures...you should thank me anyway. If it was not for me, the little whelp would not have gotten the sword that father left for him." He crosses his arms victoriously and waits for the showers of "Thank You"-s to begin.
Her mouth fell open as she realized he expected her to say thank you to him. "He only got it because you were trying to steal it from him. Plus, who was the one who actually pulled it out of the rock when you couldn't?" A smug smile lit up her face at that. "Plus, that's not a very good thing to say considering you're still trying to take his sword away."
He turned away from her as he slouched down a bit in defeat. He unconsciously pouted as he remembered her pulling the sword out without even trying. "...well...that was just because Inuyasha and I had already loosened it for you..."
She couldn't stop the small laugh that escaped as she saw him pout. "Suuurreeee you did." She said in a not so convincingly voice as she patted him lightly on the shoulder.
He stiffened slightly at her touch and looked at her from the corner of his eye. "...why are you so different from everyone else, girl? You have not screamed once through this entire conversation...wait a minute. You are having a conversation with me. No one ever does that." He turns and looks at her curiously. "Not to mention the fact that you just touched me."
"Well, I was wrong about you. I don't think you're cold at all. I guess I just wanted to see what you're really like since my impressions of you were so wrong. I thought I should have a fair chance to get to know you since I never could before because of Inuyasha. Plus, I like your company." Her pale cheeks blushed a bit. "You're fun to be around."
He blinked as he felt his cheeks get increasingly warmer as a solid blush settled across his face. "...a-are..." He frowned at himself before calming himself and trying again. "...are you saying...that you like me as your companion?"
A smile lit up her face at his reaction and she nodded her head. "I do. But, do you like me as a companion?" Her head tilted to the side, watching him. She couldn't help but think of Inuyasha's reaction if he ever knew about how she thought of Sesshoumaru as a friend, but she really didn't care too much, he would just have to deal with it.
He was about to answer but the scary voice spoke up... ~Sesshy...no one likes you...It's always Inu! Inu! Inu! ~ He quickly shook his head and mentally kicks the voice. He looks at Kagome as a slight smile appears on his face. "...yes. I do like you as a companion...Kagome." His smile got a little bigger as he said her name. He like the way it rolled off his tongue.
Her eyes lit up and a huge smile spread across her face. She felt like giving him a huge hug because she was so excited but she restrained herself, not knowing how he would react to that. So instead she acted like a little girl and let a small squeal escape her mouth. "That's great, Sesshoumaru!" She seemed sincerely happy that he thought of her as a companion.
He let a small chuckle escape as he watched her practically scream with joy. He definitely wasn't prepared for this kind of reaction from her but he enjoyed it none the less. "...is my brother depriving you of good companionship that much? You are acting like he locks you in a hut every night and lead you around on a leash by day." He shakes his head in disbelief as he smirks at the thought of Kagome on a leash.
"No, it's just Inuyasha isn't always that easy to be around. We always seem to be fighting about something or another." She shrugged her shoulders. "I guess it's just nice to finally meet somebody new. It's refreshing from the normal fights. He can be quite stubborn at times."
"What do you expect? He is only a half-breed." He too, shrugs his shoulders. "...it is common knowledge that half-breeds make lousy conversation with others. They are always too defensive...always thinking someone is out to get them. They really do have overly sized egos, if you ask me." He nods his head knowingly.
She shook her head. "It's not his fault that he's on the defensive a lot. Some people do not like him because he is not full demon, which I think is crazy. It's not like it's his fault. But, he shouldn't take it out on me; I've never done or said anything to make him defensive." She sighed a bit. "But I guess I can't be totally mad at him. It is because of him that I came into the forest today and saw you. Not for the best reason though..." She wrinkled her nose a bit. "He left without me..." ::sweatdrop::
He tried to hold it in but found it impossible...he started laughing and was finding it difficult to stop. Soon, he was bent over clutching his stomach, not really enjoying this new experience of laughter as pain shot through his system. He managed to calm himself and plopped onto the ground wiping tears away. "...oh...my. That was different. Your expression was quite comical. Inuyasha left without you, you say? There must be another demon on a rampage somewhere." He rolls his eyes and sighs.
Her eyes widened in surprise as he had one of his own laughing fits. She got over the shock fairly quickly though and ended up smiling, happy to see him laughing. She sat down beside him on the ground, folding her legs Indian style. "Maybe, but he tends to leave me behind sometimes. He mostly just thinks of me as a jewel shard finder, really."
He suddenly frowns and sighs as he stands up. "...I do believe Inuyasha is looking for you now. Perhaps we will meet again soon." He pauses for a moment before continuing. "...and you should take that as a command, not an option."
