I don't own Inuyasha
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's group were in the midst of battling Kagura, Kanna and a hoard of demons. Kagome had yet to return from her trip and somewhere in the battle Rin had gotten taken. Sesshomaru had no success so far in trying to find her but he had been successful in planning Jaken's death.
"Damnit they just keep on coming!" Sesshomaru heard his brother curse
"We can't stop for a minute Inuyasha so stop whining." Sango said as she threw Hiraikotsu. Sesshomaru noted the sky started to clear up of the demons and Kagura and Kanna had left.
"Kukuku." Naraku's dark aura entered the small clearing; he hovered over the edge of s dangerous cliff.
"Naraku!" His brother yelled
"Such a pleasent greeting ne?" Naraku asked smirking
"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha demanded
"No reason." Naraku said, and soon in front of him Rin appeared in his arms. Sesshomaru eyes narrowed
"Ah I see you are displeased Sesshomaru." Naraku pointed out
"Stating the obvious." Sesshomaru growled
"Well let's see if she can fly." Naraku said, Sesshomaru knew what was coming and ran forward just as Naraku dropped her. He slid off the cliff but gripped the edge as he caught Rin; the back of her kimono was in his mouth on account of his lost arm.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin cried she turned out of his grip and clinged to his neck. Naraku sent more demons, most of which in Sesshomaru's direction.
"Rin jump up and run towards a safe area." Sesshomaru commanded
"But Rin doesn't know anywhere safe." Rin said, Sesshomaru hated to admit that it was true.
"The stay with my half brother's pathetic group." Sesshomaru told her deeply regretting the choice but he could not do anything yet. Rin nodded and climbed up onto the cliff and ran towards Sango. Sesshomaru was about to get back up but something was thrown at him causing him to let go of the edge and slid down. Sure he could get back up but the thing was attached to his only arm and demons were attacking him so his only form of defence would be to try and kick the offending demons. Inuyasha got through the last demon when he saw Rin jump up and run towards Sango, he saw Naraku throw kagome at Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru fall down the cliff.
"Naraku! What did you do!" Inuyasha yelled, Naraku didn't answer instead he turned towards a wall that no one had noticed before and made all the wall crash into large rocks that fell towards the way Sesshomaru and Kagome had fallen. They had been buried underneath it.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled
"She is still very much alive Inuyasha." Naraku said as he faded away. Inuyasha growled.
"What happened Inuyasha?" Miroku asked
"Naraku threw Kagome down there with Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled pointing to the cliff full of heavy rocks.
"What! Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin wailed and started to cry
"What's she doing here?" Inuyasha asked rudely, this caused Rin to cry louder.
"Good going doofus." Shippo commented
"Shh, its ok sweetie Inuyasha's just being an idiot." Sango said kneeling down next to Rin. Rin tried to stop crying.
"Are you ok Rin?" Shippo asked, Rin didn't say or do anything .
"Maybe we should talk about this later." Miroku wisely suggested. Sango and Shippo nodded, Inuyasha just scoffed.
After Sesshomaru had killed all the demons that had followed him down the cliff he took a look at what was attacked to him. Kagome, unconscious, was stuck to him. They were stuck by the hand but it simply looked like he was holding hands with her. He growled and narrowed his eyes. He tried to yank his arm away from her but nothing seemed to work. Growling in annoyance he sat down, there was no way he would carry a human around. Without knowing it he dozed off into the realm of sleep.
An hour later Kagome woke up.
"Ngh how did I get here?" She asked aloud and searched for her bag, luckily it was on her back, she pulled out a flash light and lit up the cave type area she was in. she finally noticed a hand attached to her own hand. She nearly shrieked but instead chose to look at who it was. She gulped and shone the torch revealing Sesshomaru. She gasped as he caught her wrist that held her torch, the torch rolled across the ground.
"What is that offending thing." Sesshomaru growled
"W-what?" She stuttered
"That thing that disturbed this ones relaxation." Sesshomaru growled directing his eyes toward the torch.
"It's a torch! I can't see in the dark." Kagome yelled
"Hn." He said and let go of her wrist.
"Um Sesshomaru how did we get stuck together?" Kagome asked
"It is not in this Sesshomaru's knowledge of how or why." Sesshomaru told her standing up. Kagome was brought up as well, just as Sesshomaru started walking she picked up her bag then her torch quickly. She followed not wanting to get killed.
"So Naraku had Kagome and threw her down the cliff Sesshomaru had fallen down?" Miroku asked
"Yea, then he covered the area so no one could enter." Inuyasha said staring into the fire, Rin gave a little whimper and Inuyasha turned to her. She flinched afraid of what he might do, Inuyasha was shocked and his eyes widened.
"What?" He asked shocked
"She afraid of you dummy." Shippo pointed out.
"I know that! But why?" Inuyasha asked
"Maybe because you yelled at her you idiot." Sango said glaring
"Oh." He said "Rin?" He asked
"Y-yes?" She asked visibly afraid
"I'm sorry for yelling at you." He said bowing his head. Sango, Shippo and Miroku were shocked beyond words.
"That's ok Inuyasha-sama." Rin said and smiled brightly
"Really?" He asked. He hated it when kids cried and were frightened of him.
"Uh huh!" Rin nodded and hugged him.
"Inuyasha may be growing into a man." Miroku said unable to help himself
"What do you mean growing into a man!" Inuyasha yelled, everyone laughed. Inuyasha put Rin down and jumped into a tree.
"Not that I mind but why are you here Rin?" Shippo asked
"Sesshomaru-sama told me to find somewhere safe to hide but Rin didn't know anywhere so he told her to go to you so Rin climbed up and ran." Rin explained
"Oh." Shippo said
"I never thought Sesshomaru cared about humans." Sango said shocked
"Me neither, but what worried me more is that Kagome is with him, he hates and wants to kill her." Miroku said in a grave tone.
"I see what you mean." Sango said worried
After what seemed to be an hour of walking Kagome was fed up.
"Where are we!" She demanded, when she received no reply she sighed "You're not going to answer are you?" She asked
"No." He said
"Well I can make you." Kagome said smirking, Sesshomaru briefly wondered how a human wench could make him answer a question until she opened her mouth.
"This is the song that doesn't end, it just goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because, it is the song that doesn't end." She kept singing and singing until Sesshomaru got fed up and growled dangerously at her.
"Well are you going to answer?" She asked hotly
"I don't know where we are, but we are underground!" He snapped
"Jeez. Chill man." Kagome said
"Hn." He grunted "I don't care for your pathetic human sayings." Sesshomaru said
"Well I don't care for your stupid way of talking." Kagome said getting angrier by the minute.
"This one has no stupid way of talking." He replied
"It sounds extremely moronic." Kagome said glaring at him
"Says the one who always need rescuing." Sesshomaru said knowing how much it would piss her off.
"I do not!" She denied
"Do too." He countered. Kagome could already see where this was going.
"Shut up you jerk." She said
"Make me." He said rather childishly, something about arguing with her made him have fun.
"Oh you are such a, a moron!" She yelled
"Is that all your feeble brain can come up with?" He asked. Kagome was fuming
"What ever!" She snorted. They walked in silence once more. Sesshomaru was thinking of why he had been so childish and Kagome was wondering if she could purify his arm off. The wall next to her blew up, a demon had crashed through and ran into Kagome. Kagome was rammed into Sesshomaru. Extremely pissed at the demon she punched it which surprisingly purified it.
"Well that was the easiest thing I've ever killed." Kagome said smirking
"Hn." Sesshomaru said as he continued walking.
"I hope I can purify that stupid arm of his off." Kagome said under her breath
"Most unlikely." Sesshomaru said
"Bleh." Kagome said sticking her tongue out at him.
"Hn."
"Is that the only fricken thing you can say?" Kagome asked
"Hn." He said to piss her off more
"Why you-" she started then realised what he was doing. She started to take deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. 'Just keep breathing, calm down.' She told herself. She relaxed and slipped into a meditative state but was still aware of where she was going.
For a long time it was quiet only the foot pattern of Sesshomaru and Kagome was heard. The quiet stretched eerily long. Sesshomaru looked at Kagome for a brief moment, she had her eyes closed.
'Hn, meditation?' he thought silently
'Never thought a human could meditate could you?' his beast asked
'Shut up.' Sesshomaru told it, in the distance of his mind he could hear it laughing at him.
"This is quite a strange sight. The great fearful lord of the west holding hands with a ningen." A voice said. Sesshomaru stopped Kagome did as well but said nothing.
"We are not holding hands I'm stuck to this ningen trash." Sesshomaru said coldly, he expected some retort from Kagome but she was silent.
"My apologies then milord." The voice said, Sesshomaru turned and found a small demon with blueish grey eyes, long brown hair and pointed ears.
"Hn." Sesshomaru said starting to walk again.
"Be ware of the road ahead." The demon said closing its eyes. Sesshomaru took no note of even listening to the demon. Kagome seemed to be in her own little world where she didn't think about a certain annoying dog demon, but her meditation was wrecked when everything in her mind went dark. She opened her eyes and she couldn't see. She began to panic. In her mind there was a small blackish purple dot, it grew bigger and bigger until there was nothing but the large impure aura in her mind. She was sucked in and Naraku was inside.
"Naraku." She breathed
"Are you having a pleasant time?" He asked smirking
"No. But how the hell did you get in my mind?" She asked outraged
"I have my ways Kagome." He told her, soon everything was dark. She didn't realise she had stopped walking until Sesshomaru had slapped her. She screamed in pain.
"OUCH! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
"You were unresponsive." Sesshomaru stated
"Stupid, idiot, jerk, inconsiderate dog demon." She mumbled, Sesshomaru ignored her and kept walking.
"Hey I can see again." She noted
"What do you mean?" Sesshomaru asked unable to control his curiosity
"Like you give a crap." Kagome said glaring, he growled. She sighed. "I was meditating and then everything grew dark, I opened my eyes, if you were watching you could see that, and I couldn't see a thing." Kagome said.
"Hn."
"God this is gonna suck." Kagome groaned, then her stomach growled. "Hey Sesshomaru can I eat or do you want me to annoy you?" Kagome asked, he gave no reply but sat down. Kagome taking this as a signal to eat got out a packet of ramen and her small portable stove. Kagome grabbed one of her bottles of water and a pot and started preparing food. Finding it only a little difficult when she had to move stuff around
"Not that I think you would want any but would you like some food Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked
"I don't eat ningen food." Was his bored reply
"What ever." Kagome said turning back to her cooking when it was done she felt bad about being mean to him.
"Sesshomaru." She said
"sama." He replied 'Why that arrogant piece of-' she thought angrily
"Sesshomaru-sama I apologise for being mean to you." Kagome said
"Hn. Your apology is wasted." He said
"Well I don't care." Kagome said and started eating.
After she finished Sesshomaru didn't move.
"I thought we would keep moving." Kagome said
"I do not wish to have you whining about sleep." Was all he said
"Oh ok." She said getting her sleeping bag and unzipping it, she couldn't get in it so she draped it over herself.
"Goodnight." She said, before she entered the land of sleep she thought. 'Why hasn't he killed me yet?'
