Disclaimer- Once again...I do not own InuYasha nor any of the songs I may put into this fic.
Ok... so this is chapter 2 of Creative Undoing. I'm sorry for the pretty short chapter one but I couldn't find a way to continue the story where it was without making it kind of cliche in a way that always happens with Kagome/Sesshomaru fanfictions.
Amari- Oh get on with the stupid chapter already! No one wants to hear you babble!
Luna- I was going to do it...eventually. I just wanted readers to know a little about the chapter before they read it!
Amari- Keyword...EVENTUALLY! People want to read...not listen to you talk. And besides...I wouldn't piss me off if I were you.
Luna- And why not?
Amari- Because, I'm your muse...I could decide to stop doing my job just ruin your writing career on this site...if you call this a career...
Luna- Oh just shut up! Lets get on with the freakin' chapter.
Amari- Finally!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Waling into camp, Kagome was faced with the scene of InuYasha trying to attack Nyx. It was kind of funny...seeing as how she knocked him through a few trees just for the insult to her person.
"Ah... Kagome, just the person I wanted to see." Nyx turned to her with delight. The goddess had always taken a morbid delight in torturing the divine woman in many ways, though she had never actually tortured her physically. It was simply that she took amusment in making the girl frustrated and angry, Kagome was known for a legendary temper.
"Yes... and you...one of the last people I wanted to see. What do you want this time?" Nyx simply laughed and walked toward her, playing with her hair when she was close enough to the young miko.
"All I wanted was to see how you were doing with your little Eldunari problem." The snarl that burst from Kagome shocked everyone, including Sango (who knew what Nyx was talking about) and Sesshomaru (who wasn't usually shocked about anything).
"I have no Eldunari, nor will I ever!" Nyx simply raised an eyebrow and the growling Kagome and walked away, batting her eyelashes innocently. The miko bristled at the beautiful goddess that seemed to piss her off with every visit she decided to make. Before the miko decided to stalk off to blow off some steam, Midori, an old friend (if you could call her that) of Kagome's decided to drop into the clearing they were in.
"Hey Kagome!" Said female simply groaned and placed her head on that bark of a near by tree in frustration. Why couldn't anyone just leave her alone? Ever since she had revealed who she really was, no one ever left her to be by her self...nooo instead they had to constantly bug her about little insignificant things that had to do with absolutely nothing of consequence.
"Ok... I know your not that happy at seeing my pretty face but I actually have a reason for being here, unlike the goddess here. I have a message from the Red Phoenix. And Sango's supposed to hear it too. Cause it has to do with a certain person whose name is unmentionable in certain company." This statement cause raised eyebrows from both females in question, being that Midori ususally never came to them bearing messages and if Red wanted to tell them something, she came to them herself. Though Kagome knew who the person Midori was talking about, she knew that Sango didn't being that Kagome nevertalked about this certain person. The person was known as Victor, king of vampires. He was a monstrosity and the most hated person in all the worlds. He was even worse then Naraku on his bad days. Kagome clenched and unclenched her fists, trying to keep her temper in check and more importantly, her aura. No one but Sango and Midori knew just how powerful Kagome really was and she'd really like to keep it that way.
"Is this a dire situation or something that Red just wants to make me speak about?"
"Its really important. Its also got to do Arte, she had her own little experience with him." The miko's eyes flashed several different colors, alarming everyone and making several people take a few steps back from her. Sango, though was still confused and having no clue as to what they might be talking about.
"Who is 'him'?" Midori looked at Kagome and shook her head, clearifying that she would not be one to tell of who the person they were talking of. Kagome was silent for a few moments while Sango looked between the two women and finally Kagome's shoulders sagged a bit, showing that she was giving in the other woman's request for knowledge.
" His name is Victor. He is known as the king of all vampires, no person is made a vampire without his approval. Victor is tyrant and the most cruel, hated person alive. he is even more hated than Naraku himself. Do you know he killed his own daughter? Victor had two of them and in the end he killed both for their trasngressions. All they ever did was fall in love. When Iwas five and still in Ithrea, I was in a clearing with Arte and Komora, we were near Ingo's borders and he dicided to make a visit... he tried to grab Arte's Eldanari." Kagome was silent after this revelation, deciding to focus her attention on making ramen noodles for dinner, since none had eaten anything in a while and it was almost sunset. Sango simply gaped at her, never knowing that it was possible for others to get one's Eldanari. Midori herself was silent for a few moments in respect for the past. That is, untill she recited the last bit of her message to the two women and left.
" Queen Red wants you two to meet her tomorrow and that she also have 5 shards for you, so your hanyou friend can't complain at you all going." With that the odd girl soluted to Kagome and flew off, her wings stirring up some of the loose dust on the road. The goddess that was still currently in the clearing, though most had fogotten she was even there, chose that moment to disperse and leave the still doubly pissed miko to deal with things on her own. The female in which chaos seemed to rule around was silent and forced herself into the work of making sure everyone was fed and there were no wounds from an earlier battle. The children had finally calmed down and settled into their own sleeping bag that Kagome had gotten for them. It was laid down next to Ah-Uh, not only for warmth, but also because the two headed dragon could protect them if Naraku or someone else decided to attack them during the night.
"Kagome-sama, can you tell us a story before we go to bed?" It was Rin, who was currently yawning, that asked her this. It had become a tradition between the children and Kagome. Every night they would already be half asleep, but still ask her to come over to them and tell them a story. About half way through, they would fall alseep on her and she would have to gently pry herself from their grip to go over to her own bag. Kagome looked at them thoughtfully.
"How 'bout instead I sing you a song to help you sleep?" Both children's eyes lit up like small christmas lights. It was a known fact that divine had the most beautiful voices, for music was a very big part of their lifestyles and most divine loved to sing. Kagome began to sing sweetly.
Its amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without sayin' a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
Theres a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of you hands says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best...When you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
Whats being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
Theres a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of you hands says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best...When you say nothing at all
The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
Theres a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of you hands says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best...When you say nothing at all
Kagome smiled at the sight of the two children curled up, sleeping fitfully near the two headed dragon that seemed to completely adore the children and protected them at all costs. It was sweet really, how the dragon who didn't like very many people protected two small children that normally covered the beast head to toe in flowers. After tucking the small children in more securely, Kagome went over to her own bed and wrapping the blanket around herself, got out her laptop and began to work on some of her english projects.
SKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSK
It was near midnight when Kagome finally finished most of her english and some of her science homework. While normally she didn't mind her english, at this point she was getting tired of it. After all, who really used grammer in real life anymore? The little onna sighed and continued to work on the stupid projects that her teachers continually gave her to make up for all the missed work because she had to spend all her time in the feudal era chasing down an evil bastard who wanted to rule the world. Sesshomaru looked thoughtfully at the girl across the fire who was still clicking away on her odd deivce that she called a 'laptop'. What an odd thing, though she seemed to like it. Sesshomaru couldn't quite understand why she was attached to the thing. He silently wondered at why she sat up late so many nights using the deivce. Sometimes she clicked away on the keys and other times all she did was stare at the top part of the thing, which glowed with an eerie, unnatural light.
"Miko why do you stay up so late almost every single night with that thing on your lap?" Kagome's head snapped up in surprise, not expecting anyone to be awake at this time of night. She flushed lightly when she recognized the voice of the person.
"Well being that I'm always here and I can't do my school work when we're traveling and stuff, I do it at night when no one bothers me. And besides I have trouble sleeping a lot of times so I figure that I might as well do something useful to myself." Kagome shut the laptop off and shifted so her back was leaned against the tree she put her bed by. Sesshomaru looked at the girl closely and noticed how exhausted she looked, almost as if she hadn't slept in months.
"Perhaps you would be able to sleep over here, with this Sesshomaru?" Kagome blinked in surprise at the offer the large inu made, but decided it was worth a try. Gathering her blanket and wrapping in around her, she walked over the where the big inu sat, propped against a tree similar to her own. Sitting next to him she tried to lean on his arm, but he didn't let her, instead he leaned an arm around her waist and pulled her into his lap, facing him. Kagome looked up at him in shock. Sesshomaru looked down at the small onna in his lap with a raised eye brow.
"Did you not say you weren't sleeping well?" Kagome smiled softly and reached her hand up to trace the edge of one of the maroon stripes on his left cheek. Looking Sesshomaru's eyes Kagome realized how different he acted around her. Currently his eyes were half-lidded but soft as they watched her. Now normally his eyes looked warm, but were the hardest of ice. He was a cold calculating killer, though he was this Kagome wouldn't change a thing about him. Sesshomaru hid behind a mask most of the time, but if one knew how to look, they could tell how much he really cared. Kagomecontinued tracing his marking, shivering lightly when she felt his purr-like growl reverberate through her. Watching the miko, Sesshomaru leaned down and kissed her softly. Breaking away from her, he nuzzeled her cheek and told her to go to sleep. Laughing slightly, Kagome burriedher head into the crook of his neck and shifted slightly, making herself more comfortable. Within minuets she was asleep in his lap. There would be hell to pay in the morning when InuYasha found them, but both couldn't find the energy to care.
