Awakening Love
It was morningwith the sun just peeking over Kouga's mountains. Poor Sango, she felt very violated when she woke up that morning. As you can guess, a certain pervert-of-a-monk, was lying right next to her with his arm drapped around her and his face buried deep within her black hair. She turned a bit red...Okay, really red but red none the less. No matter how much she denied it to herself, she liked him there. She felt so sercure in his arms. Sango turned around to face him, still in his arms, and snuggled up to him, closing his eyes and breathing in his scent. Well, now is when things get really awkward, because he started chuckling. Sango felt him chuckling and looked up at Miroku with wide eyes and a crimson face.
"Y-y-you're awake!" Surprising herself, she did not try and move away from Miroku when she saw he was awake.
"Good morning to you too, my dearest Sango." Miroku smiled down at her as he started sliding his hand down her back.
"W-w-why are you here, in my bed, with me?" Sango asked as she stopped his hand at the very bottom of her back.
"Well this is acutally my bed. When I woke up and found you sleeping next to me. You came here on your own Sango so don't blame me. You can ask Kaede if you don't beleive me." Miroku replied with a smile.
"T-t-then do y-you mind letting me go?" Sango said while starting to get up.
"Why should I? You seem to be liking being close to me." Miroku pulled her back down and under him. Taking her wrist he pinned them above her.
"M-miroku, what are you doing?" He begain to lower his face to her and stopped it right by her ear.
"Whatever you want." Miroku began to leave a trail of kisses along her jaw line up to lead up to her mouth.
"W-w-w-w-we should really start looking for Kagome and the others." Sango said at the last moment unsure whether she could take kissing him and keeping herself together at the same time.
Miroku seemed very dissapointed but let her go knowing he would have plenty of other oppertunities out in the wilderness. "If you say so." He got up and off her and went out of the room to go get some breakfast. Poor Sango was left in a daze, half of her wanted him to stay and kiss her more, while the other half of her was scared and just wanted to run away. This was just so confusing to her now so she decided getting breakfast was good idea, because she did not want to be on that bed when he got back.
She slowly got up went out to get some breakfast. As she got out Kaede looked up. "Did ye sleep well?"
"Yes I did. Thank you for letting us stay the night here." Sango replied looking around for Miroku suddenly wanting to keep track of him.
"No trouble at all my child. I heard ye plans to go search for Kagome and the others today."
"Oh yes, we are. I won't be able to stop worrying about them until we find them."
There was a creaking sound from the wood behind Sango near the enterance to the hut. As Sango looked back she saw Miroku leaning against the side of the door frame looking straight at her. "I think we should leave soon if we want to get a good days start on looking for them. We should go back to where Naroku died in the north."
"You're right. I guess we will be leaving now. If you don't mind, can I pack some of your food for the trip?" Sango looked back to Kaede.
"Of course, my child. Take anything you will need. I have a feeling you will be gone for a long time." Kaede started gathering some food for them. After she got down, Kaede gave supplies to them, bid them farewell, and saw them flying in the distance on Kirara, already a good distance away.
Once they were in the air, Miroku decied to play with Sango's mind a little and was suddenly vary tired. So, naturally, since he was behind Sango, she would make a great pillow. "Hey Sango, I am a little tired. You don't mind if I take a nap do you?"
"Oh no, not at all. We are going to be flying all day, so now is the best time to sleep I guess." But what Sango was really thinking was this, 'Oh thank goodness he is going to sleep. Now I won't have to deal with him being so close to me and him breathing down my neck...Wait, we just woke up an hour ago, how could he be sleepy now?'
So Miroku, seeing the opening created for him, he just had to take it. Miroku slid his arms around Sango's small slim waist and rested his head on her shoulder, his face buried in her neck. Sango turned bright red and was having a internal battle with her other half that went some thing like this:
'Oh my Lord. What is he doing?'
'Flirting with you obviously. What else could he be doing?'
'Sleeping?'
'You know he is not sleeping, and since I am you we both know he is not sleeping.'
'Yeah but it feels really awkward. I am just wondering how I am supposed to get him off me.'
'Oh really now. You do realise that since I am you I know that you like him there leaning against you.'
'I do not!'
'Do too!'
'Do not!'
'Do too!'
'Do not!'
'Okay, this is getting us nowhere. But I can tell he likes me, which means you also know he likes you.'
'No he doesn't! Why would he like a girl like me?'
'Okay, then just to prove my point, try relaxing into him and giving him a quick kiss on his forehead or something.'
'No!'
'Oh, just do it. You have nothing to lose.'
'Fine.'
So Sango, now having come to terms with her inner self, relaxed which made him automatically hold her tighter.
'Are you sure this will work?'
'Yes, now just finish it.'
Sango sighed innerly, still unsure if it would work. She bent her head down and gave him a light kiss on his forehead. She could feel him smile into her neck and give her a not so kiss on her neck befor pretendiing to sleep again. Now Sango was really freaked out because never had a guy ever given her the time of day, as far as she knew. Now here Miroku was flirting with her, and not just grobing her but actually being serious and not just trying to use her. Her heart started raising at the thought that she did not realize he had lifted his head until he murmurred softly in her ear. "I thought you didn't like me this close."
"I never said that." Sango said back.
"You acted like it." He said absently while nibbling on her ear playfully.
"N-n-n-no, w-w-w-well..." Sango growled, "Can you stop messing with my ear? It's too distracting."
"But you like it."
"J-j-j-just stop."
"Fine." Miroku made a sound of annoyance, but he still had his arms around her holding her to him, so he was content with that.
'I think this day is going to be a very long one.' Sango though to herself.
It was not as long as Sango thought it would be, it went kinda fast to be truthful. When they got down on the ground they made camp, had some dinner then went straight to bed because they would be getting up early the next day. Only, Sango could not sleep that night. She could always go to sleep fast, but tonight she just would not sleep. Everything was the same. Miroku was lying across the fire and Kirara was curled up next to her in her little kitten form, so why could she not sleep? She decided, for some odd reason, to see if Miroku was still awake.
Before she could fully think through her plan, she was saying. "Hey, Miroku, are you awake?"
Miroku turned over to look at her, "Yeah. Aren't you normally asleep by now?"
"Yeah, but tonight I just can't get to sleep." Sango looked at him, wondering why she had said anything.
"I think I might be able to help you there." A mischievious grin spread across his face as he got up and walked over to where Sango was lying.
"Miroku? What are you doing?" Sango asked, very confused.
Miroku slid down under the covers next to then put his arm around her. "Helping you get to sleep."
"B-b-but..." Yawn. "How is this supposed to get me to sleep?"
"Just relax." He said as he scooted closer to Sango.
So Sango did just that, and within a few minutes she was fast asleep with Miroku sleeping soundly next to her.
Sesshomaru took Kagome to his palace in the west along the shore. It was a magical sight to Kogome. It was hidden in the fog and all around except for the entrance where sheer cliffs. Once they had gotten there, Sesshomaru had shown Kagome and Shippo to there room and had left to his room, which was right across the hall.
Once they had gotten up, Sesshomaru saw that Kogame was still wearing those strange clothes of hers and actually how much skin was showing. So after breakfast he decided to change that.
"Kagome, don't you have any other clothes to wear?" Sesshomaru said while walking to her room.
"No, what's wrong with these clothes?" Kagome looked up innocently knowing good and well what was wrong with them.
"It is too short for you be wearing around these other demons." For some strange reason it bothered him to think about another demon looking at her with lust filled eyes, which a lot of them did. "Why don't you change into some clothes that are in your closet."
"But I am not going to be staying her very long, so why should I?" Kagome replied.
"W-w-w-well it's um, uh...Too dangerous! It's to dangerous for you to be outside alone in the wilderness, and if that half breed wants you that badly he can come here for you." Sesshomaru smiled, he felt so clever.
"What would you do if I tried to then?" Said Kagome as she thought 'I wonder how much I can make him blush?'
"I-I-I-I'll uh try, and...stop you?" Sesshomaru said getting really nervous at the thought of trying to get her to stay with out making her mad.
"Then let's see you stop me now." She said, and slipped behind him and tried to hit his butt, though with Sesshomaru's demon speed he dodged it gracefully, wondering just what was she was up to. Kagome lunged again and he dodged again. This happened repeatedly until, from him being destracted, they hit a dead end. Sesshomaru was forced to go on the offence. This time when Kagome lunged at him again he caught her wrist, spun her around with her back against the wall, and pinned her wrist to the wall. She tried to grab him with her other hand, but he caught that wrist too, and pinned next to the other above the other, his face dangerously close to her's.
"I think I have stopped you now. Since you're pinned up there I need to ask you a question. Why is it that when I am close to you I start to get a fever? I don't smell any magic on you so I know it be some sought of spell." Sesshomaru really was ignorant.
"I might explain later, but right now, I am having too much fun." Kagome smirked.
"Tell me now." Sesshomaru got closer to her face.
"If you let me kiss you, I might." Kagome was really having to much fun with this.
"Kiss me? Why would you do that?" Sesshomaru was throughly confused.
Kagome sighed. "Sesshomaru, do you know anything about love or liking a special some one?"
"Um, no. It does not concern me so why should I?"
"You know what, how about I go change, then try and explain it to you."
"Um, okay." He let her go and was more confused then ever.
Kagome went to her room and checked her closest. Sure enought it was full of kimonos of all colors. She choose a beautiful kimono that was black with red roses and silver roses all linked together. When she put it on it fit her form perfectly and showed all the right curves in all the right places. Though, she had a slight problem with it. The way it was sercured in the back was by those little loopy things and those button looking things. Kagome "sadly" could not reach all of them, so she decided Sesshomaru could fasten all of them for her.
Kagome walked out of her room and found Sesshomaru in his room with the door wide open and Shippo on his shoulder almost completely covered by Sesshomaru's tail. "Hey Sesshomaru, " Kagome said as she walked. "would you mind getting the back for me? I can't quiet reach them." She asked it so innocently.
Sesshomaru gazed at her back wondering what it would feel like if he touched it. Maybe he would since he was curious, though he didn't want to make her mad or give her any reason to distrust him. So he decided to wait to touch her because he had no idea what it would cause him to do and if she would get mad or not. Sesshomaru carefully fastened each loop around the button across from it, careful to avoid any skin contact.
Once all the loops were fastened, Kagome turned around to thank him but "accidently" got tangled in the floor length dress and fell on to Sesshomaru who instictivly caught her. "Oh, um, thanks again." Kagome said as she looked up smiling.
"N-no problem." Poor Sesshomaru was suddenly suffering from that fever again. He paused to study this feeling when he felt Kagome stand up on her own. He looked down into her smiling face and some thing funny started happing to his tummy. Now this feeling was new to him, and he was unsure whether it was an attack of some form from her, or something else. He really needed to talk to the little fox demon as soon as possible.
"Um, Sesshomaru, would you mind letting me go? I need to go find Rin, because I promised her I would go play with her this afternoon." Kagome started to untangle herself from Sesshomaru.
"She is in the gardens." He said as he released her. Now was a really good chance to talk to Shippo.
"Thanks." Kagome called back as she left to go find Rin.
Now that Kagome was out of the room Sesshomaru could talk to Shippo. He took Shippo off his shoulder and sat him on his bed and he laid down next to Shippo. "Shippo, I need to talk to you about something."
Inuyasha had started early that day since heading torward a lake to refill their water supplies before they started out. It was a days journey there, so they had to stay at the village on the lake side. As they were in there room, Kikyou begone to wonder if Inuyasha would really kill Kagome for her. She thought Inuyasha loved Kagome, which was why she hated Kagome so much. Kagome had uncouncily stolen her guy and a girl is a girl whether from the past or the future, there was no greater insult to a girl then stealing her guy and claiming less love then she had claimed. She knew Inuyasha would have been better off if he had never had meet the stupid reincarnation. She was just a copy of herself, not the real thing as Kikyou put it. She had no right to even live, much less even to attempt to steal her guy without even trying and treating him like she had. Kagome was the only thing that separated her from Inuyasha, that is why she hated Kagome as much as she did. But she was still unsure, so she had to ask Inuyasha.
"Hey, Inuyasha, are you really going to do it?" Kikyou asked tentativly, unsure whether she wanted the answer or not.
"Kill who?" Inuyasha asked, slow as ever.
"Kagome. Are you really going to kill Kagome for me?" Kikyou looked up from her soup so she could see his eyes.
"Of course I am. If I don't, then you will never be able to have your true body and soul back. You do want that, right?" Inuyasha looked a little confused as to why she would ask that.
"Yes, I do. It's just, you seemed to love that girl and..." Kikyou looked away, suddenly very nervous.
"And what? That I would love her more than you? She is just a copy after all, and I want the real thing, not just some knock off. How could I ever love her more than you?" Inuyasha put his arm around her to prove his point.
Kikyou leaned aganst Inuyasha now feeling more secure than ever. "Thank you, Inuyasha."
Just as they where about to drift to sleep one of the village men came in. "Lady Kikyou, would you like me to escort the half breed to his room now?"
Kikyou and Inuyasha looked at him like he was crazy. "Why would I ask for that?"
"Because it is not proper for a high priestess, such as your self, to sleep in the same house with some one who is so unclean." The village man was now very confused.
Inuyasha was really annoyed. "Are you saying I don't take a bath enough you moron?"
"Um, no, no, not at all." He started backing up. "I just don't want Lady Kikyou's power to be defiled. That is all I am worried about."
Kikyou scoffed at him. "If I was not so tired, I would teach you a lesson here and now. But know this, if Inuyasha is not by my side when I wake up tomorrow, you will be the first to die a very painful death. Do you understand?"
"Y-y-y-yes Lady Kikyou, Inuyasha shall be by your side when you wake up. " He bowed and went to leave but Kikyou's voice stopped him at the door.
"You shall address him as Lord Inuyasha."
"Y-y-yes Lady Kikyou. L-l-lord Inuyasha shall be by your side when you wake up." He bowed and got away from there as fast as he could.
"Let's get some sleep." Kikyou said as she laid down on the mat on the ground. "We have a village to destroy in the morning."
Inuyash went and laid down beside her, put his arm around her, and was soon asleep.
