Please review, I need reviews to help me get up every morning (besides my job.). If I don't get some more reviews I'm going to eat my notebook in which I brainstorm in! (begging down on the ground and crying.) Why won't you guys review that should be one of my poll Q's instead of the one about the show.

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Inuyasha then I could quit my day job.

Chapter 2

Sesshoumaru stared at his brother's human wench with no interest in his eyes.

"State you purpose with this Sesshoumaru so that I may be on my way."

Kagome looked in Sesshoumaru's eyes and studied them. What saw was impatient being, that probably would sense any manipulation she could be planning. She would have to choose her words carefully so he wouldn't notice her need for revenge.

Sesshoumaru was becoming irritated at Kagome, for she still held her silence and didn't remove her gaze from him.

"Human why do you stare at this Sesshoumaru? You are scaring me and I do not scare at all." He said looking back at her with cold eyes.

Kagome knew that, that was meant as some kind of joke. She smiled sweetly up at him still gazing into those amber eyes of his. "I require your ward lord Sesshoumaru. I would like to speak with her."

"What business do you have with Rin?"

"I believe that's none of your concern lord Sesshoumaru." Kagome knew she was pushing her luck with Sesshoumaru. Every moment that past she thanked the gods she was alive, but she didn't let it show in her eyes.

Sesshoumaru was a little taken aback that she said something like that to him. She was talking boldly to him! The lord of the western lands! Surely she hadn't heard of his reputation of killing any man that dared talk back to him. He thought even more irritated than he was moments ago. What ever this woman wants it will not benefit him in the least. He should not let this human girl speak with his ward he knew, but what harm could come from her talking with Rin. Sesshoumaru contemplated the consequences of letting his ward talk with the girl. Rin was old enough to know when not listen to people now that she was in her teens he guessed.

Kagome almost smiled at the sight of Sesshoumaru's standing there in silence. She knew exactly, what he was thinking about too.

"You may speak with my ward as you wish," he said at long last

Kagome squealed in delight and jumped up and 'accidentally' hugged Sesshoumaru. She immediately noticed what she did and let him go. The look on his face was enough to freeze the sun from its coldness.

"I'm so s-sorry lord Sesshoumaru I…" she stammered looking down at her feet embarrassed.

It took a while for Sesshoumaru to recover his senses, "Rin and my servant are 3 days south of here you may travel with me for that time until you speak with my ward, then you will be off back to my brother, or where ever you are residing,"

She looked back up at him and was again smiling at him, "Thank-you lord Sesshoumaru!" she said with the sweetest imaginable voice.

Sesshoumaru's pov: she's up to something I just know it what ever it is I will not befall a victim to it or maybe I already have. The girl has been crying, she smells of tears, no person that has been crying that much in the course of a day could be as happy as she is trying to make her self out to be. End pov.

Kagome's pov: I wonder if he caught on that I'm up to something? I hope not if so I might be in more trouble than I intended. This decoy of me wanting to speak with Rin to get to Sesshoumaru is terrible I should have thought of something better. How could I though on such short notice if I'm going to do this I'm going to have to be more careful in the future. End pov.

Later that night

Sesshoumaru and Kagome hadn't spoken a word since he agreed to let Kagome go with him. Kagome couldn't stand the tension of sitting near him anymore. She had noticed a hot spring no far from where they were and decided to go take a bath.

"I shall return lord Sesshoumaru; I'm going to go bathe if that's ok with you."

Sesshoumaru barely glanced at her then said "Do as you wish, if you run into trouble there though do not expect me to come run to your rescue like my pathetic brother."

"Ok," Kagome said glumly at the mention of Inuyasha's name.

She walked away into the clearing where the hot spring was. She undressed completely for once, for she had become used to Inuyasha walking up on her when she was bathing. She gave a small squeal as the warm water touched her bare skin. She sat in the hot spring for a long time just thinking of how she was going to get her plan to work with out Sesshoumaru ever finding out that she was just using him and his ward to get back at Inuyasha. She didn't like the term 'using them' she wasn't in her eyes, she was just showing Inuyasha that he couldn't live without her. When Inuyasha came back to her what would she do? Would she accept him back into her life? Would she eject him? Would he go back to Kikyou if he did? Questions just kept forming in her head as she sat there with her eyes toward the sky.

Sesshoumaru sat near the camp site that they had made. He was now consumed in his own thoughts what could this human wench want with my ward! I can't figure her out! This human girl will drive me insane.

Kagome was getting irritated with the silence that surrounded her and started to hum a little. Moments later she started to sing and unknown song very loudly. As soon as she came to a high note Sesshoumaru came running into the clearing at top speed.

"What's wrong!" Sesshoumaru said in his usual cold tone but you could tell that he was worried.

Kagome who didn't notice Sesshoumaru kept on singing. Sesshoumaru

ran up to her in the hot spring and shook her furiously thinking a demon was trying to take over her body. When Kagome stared to scream for him get off of her, he noticed that there was no scent of an apposing demon.

"What the hell are you doing here Sesshoumaru!" Kagome yelled franticly trying to cover herself. "Get out of here!"

Sesshoumaru looked at her coldly "Don't worry I have no desire for your virginal, human flesh," he narrowed his eyes at her. "I thought demons were trying to take over your body."

"My singing is not that bad," Kagome mumbled under her breath. "Why did you come to my rescue I thought you said that you wouldn't save me?" Kagome was now curious as to why he did that.

"I didn't come to save you I merely came to see what was happening to you," he said lying. "Also if you call that singing you don't deserve to talk" At that he started walking away leaving Kagome to stand there in the clearing naked.

Kagome quickly got dressed and slowly walked back to where Sesshomaru was.

"My ears will never quite be the same ever again," he said into the silence.

"My singing wasn't that bad…" she finally noticed that he was teasing her and she couldn't believe it! The prince of ice actually was teasing her like a normal person. That was such a shock to her, she actually laughed after a moment.

Kagome's pov: so the destroyer of the circle of life (that's what Sesshoumaru means if you didn't know.) has a funny side eh? I wonder what else I will find out about Sesshoumaru while I'm with him…end pov.

TBC…
