Inuyasha crossover Saiunkoku Monogatari

Chapter 2: Golden Eyes

"Do you live here alone?" he asked her with a smile upon his crimson purple lips curling up in a radiant smile that could charm the soul of anyone, but it was a pity that she was not looking at him as she worked busily.

"Not really, there is Sensei," Kagome replied him vaguely as she raised her arm to wipe her sweat away on her sleeves.

Sakujun played the pity card as he looked towards of Kagome who was busy tending to her medicinal garden carefully whilst he stood beside of her to help out as he carried the basket full of herbs whilst in the other he helped carry the bucket of water that she used to water the plants with.

Admittedly there is nowhere that he could really go at the moment, at least not until things have cooled down and he is able to navigate himself out of here. These few days, he had finally been able to fully stay awake as per normal and do simple things that did not cause much stress to his body.

"Oh? Is he not here?" Sakujun casually asked as he followed after her despite how Kagome had walked away from him, and brushing his hands away from her hair so easily.

When Kagome did not answer him, Sakujun frown but quickly a smile replaces the look on his face again as he approached Kagome again, softening his voice into a gentle mellow voice as he loosely wrapped and arm around of her waist, leaning his head down against the side of her as she seemed not bothered at all by his action.

"Don't be angry Kagome, I will not ask that of you again," he promised her to pacify her current mood as he looked down at her through honey golden eyes to see her reaction.

Kagome turned as she took the basket away from him, placing those herbs that she had picked into the basket before meeting eyes with him.

"You should go back in to rest," she told him, already hinted to him that he was not wanted around of her.

"Don't be so harsh Kagome, I'm sorry if my earlier question had offended you," he pleaded softly with an earnest smile on his lips as reached out to hold onto her hand.

"You should go back in and rest," Kagome told him as she looked at him for a moment longer before drawing her hand away from him and turned to walk towards the other patches that needed her to do some tending after she had took the bucket of water away from him.

He watches her walk away in a flurry of pink and white layered on dress as she tended to the garden, ignoring the male to do as he please whilst she does her daily errand.

She remembered the end of the battle and taking a long rest after everything had finally come to an end, however when she next opened her eyes, she was in this weird place, just as throw back and ancient as when she was in Sengoku Jidai, to make things worse, she woke up all battered up and heavily injured, and in the body of weak and younger than she had expected.

It was a good thing though that her face did not change much, except for the fact that perhaps there is a little more change to her than she had expected, and at first she was unable to control it but later because of her Sensei, he had helped her control it, and guided her through most part of her growth.

Looking up at the scorching afternoon sun, Kagome looked around to see just about everything is done, she slowly took her time to make her way back into the house that she shared with her Sensei, and now her patient.

"Ka-go-me," the only person staying with her now called out to her just as she entered the bamboo house. "I've made us lunch," he told her with a smile upon his face as he went up to her to take the basket and bucket from her hands.

Kagome looked at the table full of food as she allowed Sakujun to take the two items away from her. "I need to tend to the herbs and vegetables first,"

"Are you still angry with me?" he asked with a pout in his voice as he turned to look at her almost pitifully, with grievance in his eyes.

"I need to tend to the herbs first," Kagome persisted as she went towards her workstation where the basket full of herbs, and vegetables are as she sorted through them and handled the herbs with practiced ease.

"The food will get cold," Sakujun said as went over to lead her back to the table full of food as he watched her work.

"You should eat first," Kagome said as she worked diligently to process the herbs and do what is needed to preserve them whilst they are still fresh.

"I want to eat with you," he told her, saying it into her ears as he leaned his head over her shoulder to watch her work, glancing at her expression from the corner of his eyes as he watched for any of the change in her expression.

"You need to eat proper meals," Kagome told him with a glance at him before turning her attention back to the herbs at hand as she sorted them up, treating some of them in cold bath of water that she had placed in a bowl whilst others she bundled them up and placed them to the side ready to be hung later.

He could smell how the scent of medicine clinging onto her, and had since gotten used to it and taken a liking to it even, especially with the way that it would mix with her natural sweet scent. Kagome was perhaps the first few that aside from Shuurei was not easily affected by his good looks or his charms, and unlike Shuurei, Kagome more or less practically ignore his existence.

Kagome sighed inwardly as she tired not to be bothered by the fact that there is someone scrutinizing her every move as she worked. It is uncomfortable, but there is nothing that she can do about it, not especially when the other is not often easily cooperative or listen much to her, and almost always insist on just about everything.

She has lived two lives, and though she had first arrived her and was somehow taken in by her current Sensei, but it did not stop her from constantly trying to find a way back home. She had tried every secret entrance or forbidden areas that opened once in a while or in a rare time period, she had ventured forth without hesitation. Though the risk is that she might die in there somewhere, but at least one thing she knows is that she had tried.

There was once when her teacher had to even save her from her recklessness as well, and had been reprimanded rather strictly for it, after which, she was forbidden to leave easily until her punishment is over. She had closed herself off for about nearly a year under orders, to reflect, and cultivate her powers and skills. It was nearly torturing, but it helped elevated her abilities to another level.

Now though she has to stay where she is, to tend to Sakujun, and also where they are in, is a place under magic hidden from the view of normal and most people unless they are like her Sensei and herself and knows how to get in, another is if their capabilities is far above that of her Sensei.

"Please have your meal first, I'll eat after I'm done," Kagome told him through grounded teeth as she felt the annoyance of his eyes looking at her for so long, making her feel uncomfortable under those gaze.

"If you don't eat, then who will take care of my health," Senya asked innocently with a devilish smile tugging on the edge of his lips as he asked her in a gentle tone.

When Kagome turn her head to regard him seriously, she did not see the devilishly mischievous look upon his lips but instead saw a sad pitiful look upon his face with charmingly seductive pleading eyes that looked and studied her with a soft look in them. Any female would have drowned in them, but for her it saddens her, especially how similarly the color of his eyes looks exactly like that of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, but the spirit in it is different.

There was really much wish for her to return to her World, to her family, and to that of Inuyasha and the rest of the team, but so far as of now, she was still unable to find the right way of getting herself home. There was once she had thought that she had found the way home, but instead, she found it to be an illusion and had nearly been in great danger of it had she not been able to wake up earlier from it.

"Kagome?" he called out to her, seeing that far away look in her eyes again.

It happened rather often when they eyes meet and like always, Kagome would turn her head away sharply, hiding that pretty peach blush that spread across of her face. He smiled in coy at her reaction, though he enjoyed knowing that she can be affected by him, but he was also displeased by the fact that she was not exactly looking at him and it made him narrowed his eyes in thought of it, and that want to know who that person is.

"Come, we should eat," he urged her gently pulling her towards the table, "We can hang those up later once they are properly dried," Sakujun said as he finally led her to take a seat.

"The food is nearly cold now, I should warm them up again," Sakujun says as he reached out ease to grab a few of the plates, planning to do what he said as he took a peak at Kagome from beneath his lashes, but she did not reply or show much indication on her face.

When he left, Kagome stood to continue what she was doing, her mind plunging into her memories as her body moved with practice, already knowing what to do with the herbs and allowed her mind to wander a little.
