Chapter 2 – Homesick

The sun shone through the shoji screen, warming the room which contained a young miko beneath a certain tai-inuyoukai's arm. That said inuyoukai opened his eyes awakening at the moment of sunrise as he always did. Looking around he felt the miko wrapped around him and unfortunately he could not escape without waking her from her slumber. Poor Sesshoumaru was trapped and had no way of escaping without awakening Kagome. Sighing he decided that resting longer than normal would not harm him the slightest bit. Closing his eyes he fell asleep encased by the miko, her aura brushing against him like a mother stroking her child's arm.

~ ~ - Sesshoumaru's Dream - ~ ~

Sesshoumaru stood beneath a tree in the depths of a damp and frosty forest. Suddenly his feet shifted towards a frozen waterfall. Once he stood near the edge he stopped and peered down expecting to see his reflection but it wasn't there. Instead a reflection of the miko appeared. Sesshoumaru watched closely feeling a smile adorn his face. As he heard a familiar voice calling the miko's name, he rolled his eyes. Facing down at his hands he realized where he was or to be more exact, who he was.

Picking up a strange bag, Sesshoumaru allowed his dream to control the miko's body he was currently within. Once the strange bag was set upon his shoulder, he felt his legs sprint through the forest, coming to a clearing where he met his brother Inuyasha, smiling friendly towards him. Feeling his lips once again twist up into a smile he waved.

"Hey Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru greeted.

"Hey." replied the hanyou before walking towards the miko's body and embracing her. Sesshoumaru was appalled that he had to be within this memory of the miko yet knowing it would end soon he decided to relax and try to understand what was happening.

"Inuyasha." he whispered tenderly before removing the rosary from the hanyou's neck.

"I've set you..." Sesshoumaru felt himself pushed hard onto the ground, the bag falling from his shoulder. Looking up in shock he saw his brother laughing in amusement.

"Why thank you Kagome. You finally set me free and I intend to repay you by taking the shikon jewel from your hands now." the hanyou grinned evilly.

Sesshoumaru felt shocked and then immensely scared, was this is what had happened to the miko; he pondered before realizing the situation he was in. Quickly eroding a barrier around himself he scrambled backwards, stood up and sprinted. Where he was going he did not know but all that repeated in his mind was 'run'.

Branches swept across his face yet he still ran- Inuyasha kept attempting to break through the barrier yet failed every attempt. Feeling mortified Sesshoumaru changed directions and started to head west. If he could make it to his lands then surely the hanyou would leave him alone. This thought assured him it was the best strategy he could think of so he fastened his pace's velocity, the snow crunching beneath his soaked feet. Using all of his strength he strained to keep his barrier, breathing in deeply he pushed against his limits and ran faster. Soon he'd reached the border to the Western lands as he passed the familiar jinja of kami which guarded the West. Sighing sadly he draped his feet further into the lands before collapsing. Feeling tired and sore his eyelids fluttered and his body shivered in fear.

"Why...Inuyasha...," Sesshoumaru felt himself whisper before finally shutting his eyes, entering the sweet stage of unconsciousness.

~ ~ - End Of Sesshoumaru's Dream - ~ ~

Sesshoumaru awoke suddenly, his body drenched in sweat, his eyes watery from tears. Glancing to his left he recognized his surroundings and was glad to see the miko still asleep and safe within his arms. Sighing in relief he sat up, bringing the miko's body with him so her head rested beneath his chin. Breathing in her scent deeply, he became intoxicated as a smile tugged at his lips. The miko pressed her body further into Sesshoumaru's, trying to become warmer after all it was winter and even with a fireplace the indoors of a palace were still fairly cool. Finally allowing the smile to appear Sesshoumaru nuzzled the miko's temple, in truth he didn't care that she was a human, she was to prevent him dying and therefore he would do the same. Besides he liked the miko, she was gentle, kind and believed in herself despite the harsh words said by others. In an unexplainable way Sesshoumaru somehow felt attracted to the young miko beneath his arm; and it wasn't the way he loved Rin either, it was more than such caring love, more like the love of a mate than daughter.

The miko's eyes fluttered and Sesshoumaru prayed that she would stay asleep just for a little while longer but it seemed his luck wasn't as fateful as he seemed to believe. Kagome's eyes snapped open as her breath hitched in her throat; she happened to notice that she was not alone as she first thought to believe. Releasing the person she had hold of she sat up cautiously, feeling the same person let go of her. When she saw who'd held her she became a mixture of emotions, mainly shocked at the fact that he, Sesshoumaru, had held her despite the fact that she was human. Staring at the half-naked inuyoukai, Kagome started to lose herself between reality and her perverted thoughts, smelling the miko's arousal Sesshoumaru smirked.

"Good morning Kagome." greeted Sesshoumaru as Kagome fell back down to reality, realizing she was staring, she looked away, a blush clearly visible upon her cheeks.

It was then Sesshoumaru chuckled, amusement seen within the depths of his golden eyes, his face vibrant and cheerful, and his was voice musky and low. Kagome smiled shyly at the lord before once again looking away, her embarrassment evading from her shaking form. Sesshoumaru then leaned forward so his mouth was near her ear: "Tell me Kagome what was it that made you blush so beautifully?" asked Sesshoumaru huskily, Kagome's skin tingling from where his breath once fell. "Hmm...No answer. Would you mind explaining to me why you can't answer this Sesshoumaru's question?" Kagome almost melted when she felt Sesshoumaru nuzzle her neck after he'd whispered in her ear.

"I..." Kagome never finished her sentence for the annoying imp was the one to break it.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, where are you my lord? Lord...eh.", "Jaken what is it that you wish to tell this Sesshoumaru?" asked the inuyoukai who'd once sat near the miko and was now outside, addressing his highest servant.

"Milord an urgent message has come forth from Totosai. He says to watch closely for there is a trespasser entering your lands and that the very same trespasser is after whom you protect. What could this mean my lord?" asked the imp yet Sesshoumaru merely ignored the question and frowned.

"Jaken."

"Yes milord."

"Prepare Ah-Un and take the clothing of the miko to the far North-West of these lands, stop every few moments and rub the cloth on an occasional tree or bush but be quick. We must stall the trespasser away from the palace. Is what this Sesshoumaru said understood?", "Hai Sesshoumaru sama, I'll leave now and do it immediately.", "Good, now go.", "Yes milord." replied Jaken before scurrying off into the direction of the bathing rooms where he would take Kagome's previous attire from its place on a stone.

Sesshoumaru walking back into the room met a half-naked miko changing behind the thin paper wall used for when dressing. Seeing her shadowed figure's breasts bounce as she slid her yukata sleeves on, proved to be an arousing site for the inuyoukai as he felt himself harden in agreement. Noticing what was happening he quickly walked into his own room to change.

Soon he was dressed into a different kimono mainly because he was traveling outside all day so instead of his usual white and red, Sesshoumaru wore a silver and blue kimono, made out of silk with cotton embroideries of sakura and flower petals with crescent moons behind them. Once he'd smoothed out its fabric he swiftly moved from his room into the miko's. When he slid open the shoji what he saw was quite a gift from kami indeed. There stood Kagome, her hair elegantly pulled back with a silver comb, her lips painted with a glossy substance yet what made her look beautiful the most was the gorgeous apparel she wore, her yukata was a thick cotton and baby blue, her kimono was silk and also a baby blue yet it had a light pink embroidering of sakura and its petals which danced around her sleeves and hems, her feet were dressed in plain white socks yet her sandals had baby blue straps which were a cotton material.

It was a beautiful sight indeed, Sesshoumaru felt himself harden once again and unfortunately he could not walk away, he'd in the past tried to kill her and had behaved how should he say it- farfetched from the meaning of cruel, as big of a bastard as possible, impudent and an ass? There were many ways to describe how much of a selfish, ego-filled asshole he'd been; and he most certainly was not going to ruin his chance with her again especially since he knew of his attraction towards the miko and the fact that he'd accepted it was also pointless in denying. Sesshoumaru eventually came to his senses as he smelt her beautiful scent of being aroused, smiling he walked towards her until he was a mere inch away from her, his tall frame towering over hers.

"Good morning to you too Sesshoumaru sama." addressed Kagome politely yet Sesshoumaru knew better, she was playing with him and he liked it, a lot. Sesshoumaru just couldn't help himself when around her, she was addictive, her scent, her voice, her form, all of it was addictive and everything about her he liked a lot.

"Yes I believe I already said that to you Kagome. But on to further matters we will be leaving to take you home, I'm sure you enjoy this news." inquired Sesshoumaru as Kagome beamed.

"Hai but what about...," "Inuyasha has been taken care of, Jaken's stalling him off and putting up a fake track as a decoy by using you attire from yesterday due to it is still very strong and whilst this happens I will personally take you home so you may quickly discuss things with your family and gather whatever you need before we come back. This Sesshoumaru also will send a letter to Totosai who will contact your friends for you so that if they wish they may come seek you out here." explained Sesshoumaru before Kagome embraced him, tears of joy pouring down her face.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you Sesshoumaru! This means," "A lot?", "Hai a lot to me, this means a lot to me." ended Kagome before Sesshoumaru picked her up bridal style.

"Then if it pleases you more we will leave now, this Sesshoumaru assumes that Kyoto left you the attire and breakfast?", "Hai Sesshoumaru sama." replied Kagome as the inuyoukai nodded before rising into the cold atmosphere, mokomoko rising into the air and automatically attaching itself to Kagome.

Sesshoumaru definitely would enjoy today a lot!
