CHAPTER 2 A MARK
When Kagome awoke the next morning, to her surprise she found everyone staring at her. Inuyasha was a little too close for comfort as in he was only three inches away from her face. She pushed her self back until she couldn't any more. 'Why does this feel so familiar?'
"Umm Inuyasha why are you looking at me like that?" He pulled back finally and looked at her from an arm's length away.
"Kagome why is that mark on your neck?" She blinked.
"What mark?"
"That one." And with that he pointed to her right shoulder.
Her eyes widened a fraction. 'He didn't!' She sat up and pulled her yellow backpack towards her she undid the clasp and opened it up. Once open she dug in it for her compact. When she found it she opened it and faced it towards her neck, impatiently she brushed her hair back. Kagome gasped her eyes went wide. Right there where her neck met her shoulder was a HICKEY. "Oh my." She whispered. Inuyasha winced and covered his ears awaiting the outburst. "OH MY GOD OH MYGOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!"
"Enough Kagome you're hurting my ears!" Screamed Inuyasha above her yells. She calmed down, but still looked like she was gonna die.
'He gave me a hickey oh my god, I didn't realize he was sucking on my neck that long, and everyone else saw the mark, oh my god just kill me! Why did he suck on my neck anyway and why in the hell did I let him?' While Kagome kept going with her self interview she didn't hear what the others were saying, until
"Kagome what happened when you went for a walk yesterday?" She turned and looked at Sango who had asked the question, she looked slightly curious and afraid.
"N...nothing Sango" Sango looked at her as if in saying LIAR. In her head she was screaming. 'I'M A BLOODY LIAR, A LIAR, A HORRIBLE DECEITFUL LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, AND LIAR!!!!' As she went on with her angry tantrum, she didn't see how Inuyasha froze and stood, she didn't see him draw the Tetsusaiga; she didn't see Sango or Miroku stand and get in defensive mode until her problem arrived. She stopped and looked at him there he stood in all his royal glory.
"Sesshomaru?"
He couldn't stop himself from thinking of her; it was a problem he wished he was not dealing with. Over throughout the night he dreamt of the annoying girl, and when he woke he found himself utterly angered and frustrated. He was equally infuriated by not being able to get the way she had tasted out of his system. 'STUPID BITCH!' He mentally screamed, but no matter how much he thought of it he could not come up with a reason as to why he teased her or pinned her down or sucked on her neck. As to questions regarding the female he hatingly admitted to himself just how good she had tasted, he also was very impressed by how soft her skin was. 'Damn.' he thought. 'Why in the hell do I keep thinking of her?' He sighed and rubbed his temples. It was entirely too annoying. Sighing he stood from his chair and left his castle. He needed to think or do something to keep his mind from wandering to the damn infuriating girl. He stopped, noticing he had traveled quite a ways away. He completely froze when he heard voices. Further investigation he saw his brother and his group sitting there looking at the girl he had gotten a taste of.
"What mark?" she asked
"That one." His brother pointed to the place where he sucked her neck, her eyes widened, she got up grabbed her large bag and dug inside it, when she found what was inside he saw her open it and brush her hair back and look at her neck.
"Oh my." she whispered and to his utter surprise. "OH MYGOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!" He winced at her outburst.
'Ow,' he thought; 'My poor ears.' He watched her stunned face turn to angry to confused in under a few seconds. 'So expressional.' He watched the group talk about what could have happened.
"Kagome what happened when you went for a walk yesterday?" asked the Slayer. The girl looked frightened and answered
"N...nothing Sango" The Slayer looked at her disbelievingly and the miko's face turned slightly guilty. Having enough of their conversation and wanting to know more about the girl who tasted like cherries he allowed his aura and scent to permit the area and watched as everyone except the miko got into defensive stances, he walked into the clearing and saw the miko look up at him confusion, anger, and an emotion he could not name flash through her eyes. "Sesshomaru?"
Her voice came out breathy and utterly sweet and he found himself wishing they were alone so he could continue his exploration of her neck. Inwardly growling at his lost train of thoughts he walked closer.
"Sesshomaru get the hell away from here, I'm not giving you the Tetsusaiga!" If Sesshomaru had no self-control he would of rolled his eyes.
"Inuyasha I do not wish for the sword at the moment, I'm here for a different reason." And with that he turned his gaze over to Kagome. She blushed lightly and stood up.
"Ah hell no!" screamed Inuyasha snottily. "Kagome is going no where with you!" Kagome turned towards Inuyasha with a bittersweet smile on her face, immediately he knew what was coming.
"Inuyasha..." He winced. "SIT!" and with that he ate dirt. If Sesshomaru had no self-control he would of laughed so damn hard he would be literally rolling on the forest floor killing himself with laughter. After he calmed his inward screeching and taunting, he in a flash claimed the miko in his arms and ran off.
When they got out of hearing range Sesshomaru stopped and set her down. She looked at him warily and plopped down to the ground. He sat down near her, but kept some space there. After some time he could see she was getting a little uneasy, since no one was talking. After awhile Kagome couldn't take it anymore.
"So…Why am I here?" He looked at her for a second.
"I'm going to ask you some questions and in return you will answer them."
"WAIT A SECOND, THAT'S NOT FAIR!" He merely shrugged; she glared at him and than smiled. "I have an idea how about every question you ask I get to ask a question and each question of ours will be answered truthfully?" He looked thoughtful.
'This could be dangerous especially if she asks a really personal question, hmm I shall humor her.' "Fine I agree." She smiled brightly and he found himself slightly entranced, quickly shaking himself out of it (inwardly of course) he asked his first question. "Why is it you travel with my worthless half breed brother?" she glared at him slightly.
"For one he's not worthless and too because I want too." He looked skeptical. "Fine," she said exasperated. "I was the one who broke the jewel of four souls and since I broke it I find it my duty to help recover the shards and I want too, Happy?" He nodded. "Okay my turn." she stroked her hair thoughtfully. "Okay why is it you want the tetsusaiga so badly? I mean it can't help you, you can't hold or use it because your not half and half and it helps Inuyasha by keeping his demon blood at bay and I think your strong enough without it, so what's the use?" He smirked at her and she found herself slightly frightened and yet excited by the look.
"You wish too know, the reason is I enjoy bothering my dear little brother, I know I have no purpose with the sword, but I love the look on his face when I say it's mine and rightfully belongs to me." Her eyes widened and she gawked at him.
"How deceitful." she whispered, he merely smirked wider. She smiled.
"Now I know for a fact you did not originate from this era, your clothes are simply too different as well as your attitude."
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY ATTITUDE?!" He glared.
"That is wrong, your emotions change too much and you are more outspoken than the humans here." she shrugged, but nodded.
"You're right I live five hundred years in the future and the well in Inuyasha's forest, the bone eater's well is the passage to my time and back."
'Wow.' he thought. 'I knew she was different, but I had no idea she was that different.'
"So…my turn, okay, Do you have kids?" his eyes widened a fraction at that question.
"NO." he said slightly roughly, she smiled at him innocently. Smirking he asked,
"What about you?" he didn't get the rise he was anticipating.
"Nah no kids yet, I'm only seventeen so obviously not."
"It would not be strange for you to have children at your age, many people have kids before that age."
"Yes but that is here, not in my time it's considered dishonorable to have a child so soon." Again he was shocked.
'Dishonorable.' he chanted in his head. "So…Sesshomaru do you have a girlfriend?"
"A what?"
"Umm a wife." he still looked slightly questioning. "Um...well a...um a mate yeah do you have a mate?"
"No." he answered. "Do you?"
"Me nah no one to cozy with yet."
"Why would you cozy with a mate?"
"Is that your question?" "Yes." "Um well in my time when you mate or get married its forever, and because you love the person you're mating. Though sometimes people tend to go back on those vows or rituals."
"In this time to go back on the mating ritual or cheat, the other mate can kill you and the other who was your cheating partner. But it also depends on the type of demon. An Inuyoukai like myself mates for life."
"Wow." she whispered. 'Kind of harsh but awesome.' She was quiet for some time and Sesshomaru found himself wishing she was out of questions. "Sesshomaru why are you here?"
'No such luck.' "Meaning alive or here in this area with you?"
"With me."
'Why am I here am I going insane, I'm talking civilly with a human, a disgusting smelly human.' 'Now you know that's a lie.' said his blood beast. 'Not you.' 'Yes me, and the real reason is, I like this girl she's tasty.' 'She's a human.' 'Doesn't matter to me, she's perfect, she has a nice body, it seems that she's adopted that fox child and she's patient enough to hang around our half brother, that's got to mean something, also she did not argue when we hinted we wanted to talk to her, and she did not push us away when we were sucking her neck.' 'Means absolutely nothing, all of that.' 'Keep telling your self that. I know the truth and you know what, I want her!' 'You can't have her she belongs to my half brother, and I won't allow it.' 'Number one Inuyasha is going to mate that clay pot, and number two you can't stop me, because you are me and you can't deny she tastes delectable!'
"Ah Sesshomaru are you going to answer me?" He looked up to see the miko a lot closer than she had been before he started arguing with his beast, she looked slightly worried. He just kept looking at her as though he did not register her question. "Sesshomaru woo hoo any one home?" she waved her hand in front of his face, he caught it and she gasped, he was looking at her intensely. In an instant he had her pinned to the ground and was sucking hungrily on her right neck. "Sesshomaru!" she gasped, she moaned softly, just loud enough for him to hear. He felt his blood beast purr at being able to taste the female again.
'WHY AM I DOING THIS?'
'WHY IS HE DOING THIS?' Kagome's mind started to get foggy when she felt his hands begin to stroke her side's slightly. Sesshomaru's beast was thriving he could smell the woman's arousal and that just flamed his beast's want for her more. 'Mmm delicious, right?' "FUCK!" He pulled away quickly practically launching a meter away from the girl. She sat up and looked at him. Her eyes were slightly misty and confused; her hand was resting where he had tasted her. He was gone in a white flash, leaving the bewildered Kagome behind. Once her mind cleared, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
'What's wrong with me?' After some time she heard Sango and Miroku's voice calling her, she called back and when they entered the area, no one talked. Kagome mounted Kirara with Shippo, Sango, and Miroku and they all went back to camp.
Kagome laid silently in her sleeping bag, thinking. She did not know why Sesshomaru had acted the way he did, and vice versa.
What she did understand was, no matter how much she denied it; she liked it when he sucked on her neck. She sighed, 'Maybe it's because of me having depraved love syndrome?' That wasn't a real syndrome but it should have been one, especially since it happened to a lot of people. Including her. 'GAH my senses are so fried, EMOTIONAL OVERLOAD!!!!' She sighed again. 'I should get some sleep.' With that she nestled further into her sleeping bag and allowed sleep to claim her. Little did she know a certain monk watched her and contemplated the reason on why she had been so quiet after they found her.
AUTHORESS CORNER:
Okay hopefully none of you are confused. Cause my best friend KJMINAME was. Before Sesshomaru jumps(Snickers) Kagome, he's arguing with his blood beast. Which is the use of the Italics. Mainly the italics are Sesshomaru's beast talking. Again some of you are probably thinking that Sesshomaru is still OOC and that's the main idea and I don't really know if I explained too well in the chapter but, you see he's OOC because his beast wants Kagome, and even though he has steel walled control(Usually) his beast is stronger in it's desire for Kagome against Sesshomaru's resistance, and you're probably wondering about the swearing part too. Sorry but I imagine if Sesshomaru had less control in actions he'd have less control in words, and thoughts too. Hmm thoughts as well that's a clue for chapter three. That's Person Of A Strange Origin over and out.
