Chapter 2- Unwanted Feelings
InuYasha growled when he caught himself tapping his knee with an impatient claw again. He has expected Kagome to be back by now since it was close to sunset.
'Feh, she is probably at home pretending that we don't exist' he thought, half of him wanted to go after the girl and apologize but another part was still angry about what she said about Kikyo. InuYasha shook his head to clear his thoughts and saw Sango, Miroku, and Shippo looking at him with cold eyes.
"What?" he barked but the trio remained silent and turned their gazes to the ground.
"Damn it Kagome you had better get back here soon" he thought before taking refuge in a shaded oak tree.
The blush on Kagome's cheeks hadn't dimmed the very least since keeping the unconscious Sesshomaru warm with her own body. "I can't believe I'm doing this!" she screamed inside her head, "I don't even know why I'm doing this" that thought nudged her mind the most, she knew that she could easily dump him onto the ground and let him be dragged by the horse demon but some unknown part of her told her to keep the very heavy Lord warm and standing on his feet. She sighed and put her thoughts aside for now, she was beginning to lose energy and she didn't want to waste it on unanswerable questions at the moment.
Kagome almost jumped put of her skin when she heard Sesshomaru let out a pained moan and saw that he was gaining consciousness, 'What should I do?' she mentally panicked, if Sesshomaru saw that he was being practically held by her he would kill her for sure even if he was in a greatly weakened state.
"Human…" Kagome almost dropped him when she heard him speak in a raspy whisper. Sesshomaru must have felt her spine stiffen making him continue to speak in a slow but cold voice, "I don't think I am in any position to harm you at the moment"
'Yeah, at the moment' Kagome thought, she winced when she felt his hands press hard into her shoulders for balance when he tried to stand on his own two feet. When Sesshomaru gained his balance, he continued to slowly walk behind the horse, acting like nothing ever happened; after a while, Kagome decided to take this moment of silence for granted and tried to feed her curiosity. "What happened to you, Sesshomaru?" she instantly saw that that was not the smartest thing to ask when she saw his eyes darken and his expression turned cold and angry.
"That is none of your business miko" his crystallized blue orbs met with her brown irises, making herself turn to face the horse in front and not at her side. She couldn't help but wonder what happened to him since his armor was gone (Including the boa), he had deep wounds covering his upper-body and not to mention that he was human, she just shook her head and started to fool around with the ropes on her wrists to try and kill time.
The full moon was high in the sky, causing all objects under it to give off a luminous glow but the beauty did not change Kagome's bad mood.
Sesshomaru had passed out again around a half-hour ago and she was now carrying him on her back, her legs almost caving from the extra weight. 'If I keep this up I'm going to pass put myself' Kagome thought but she couldn't stop a smile when she heard Sesshomaru let out a small moan when she slightly bounced after stepping in a pothole. 'Whoa hold on Kagome, you can't go on smiling at Sesshomaru's actions!' she thought, slightly mortified that she had actually grinned at the human on her back 'He's a demon Lord and dangerous!' Kagome mentally kicked herself for her mistake and concentrated on her almost impossible task.
She jumped when she felt Sesshomaru move his head and nuzzled his soft nose into her neck, the feeling caused shivers to run down her spine but threw the feeling aide when she saw that she was doing the same crime over again but when a wind behind them picked up his hair and sent it flying into her face, she couldn't help but inhale the sweet scent.
For the fist time ever since she had gotten captured, Kagome felt safe and content.
