Title: Surely My Lord, You Jest ?
((A/N: Hope you all enjoy the chapter. ))
Chapter Two: Riddle Me This
A cold, delicate smile touched Kagomes face.
"Surely my Lord, you jest." She said icily as she let her aura flare, becoming visible to him for the first time. The turquoise and purple energy swirled around her like a beautiful black hole. Immediately he was bombarded by her power, the surrounding reiki singeing the ends of his silken hair. She was far more powerful than he had first thought, and he had no intention of hurting her. He concluded a battle at his time was not in his best interest.
"Hn." He relented. She reigned in her purifying aura and eyed him suspiciously.
"So, now that you know you cannot take me by force, do you care to tell me who you are?" She questioned. Sesshomaru tilted his head to the side.
"Do not doubt my ability Miko. I merely do not wish to cause you harm." Once again she narrowed her eyes. "Do you really not remember?" He stepped closer. "How did you know I was a Lord?"
"Your robes carry traditional demon royalty marks. If I had to guess I'd say Inu demon. And the silks you wear are very expensive." She replied. He stepped closer again, mildly curious. What else did she not remember?
"Interesting. What else can you tell?"
"You're from the west. I can tell from the hemmed patterns on your robes, but thats about it." She was beginning to grow impatient. "Are you going to-"
"Funny how you know so much about a land you are not from." He interjected. His baffling words in combination with his cold tone sent shivers down her spine.
"I…don't understand." She replied, feeling her head begin to throb.
"You are not from this land. Your era is not here." Kagome whimpered slightly as the pain in her head began to worsen. She brought her hand up to touch her fingertips to her temple.
"What are you doing to me?" She ground out through clenched teeth. Sesshomaru merely inclined his head.
"I have done nothing." He said indignantly. Kagome tried to shake out the pain, to no avail.
"How do you know me? Why did you call me Kagome?" She questioned.
"Why did you answer?" He returned. Kagome growled lowly and he cocked an eyebrow. She was growing tired of his riddles and questions, and the longer they watched each other, the worse her head hurt. She massaged her forehead, blinking the bleariness out of her eyes.
"You're not going to leave are you?" She asked, and received her answer when he remained in the same spot like a statue. She sighed. Taking a moment to organize her thoughts she realized three things were inevitably true.
1.) He was from her past, and her only connection to it.
2.) He knew more about her than she did.
3.) And finally…he was one hell of a powerful Demon Lord that had no intentions of leaving her.
"Fine…come with me." Kagome relented before turning and walking back towards the village, all the while hoping to not invoke panic with the demon lord in tow.
