Chapter 2
Getting to know you
The look on Inuyasha's face was priceless. His jaw dangled like some one just broke it. I heard Kikyo come up to him and sat something but to tell you the truth I really could care less.
"Are you ok miko?" Sesshomru asked studying my face for any sign if sadness.
"Oh, no I'm ok I just… never thought I would leave them"
"I'm glad we left that mean dog Inuyasha I can't stand him" Shippo said stretching and letting out a big yawn.
Me and Sesshomaru laughed.
"Thank you miko"
I looked up at him and his eyes were glued to the ground.
Say something Kagome anything… ask him why he is being so nice SOMETHING
I yelled at myself
"My Lord" I said in almost a whisper
"Just Sesshomaru" he replied
"Oh, Sesshomaru then. You don't as for help often do you?"
"No I don't. And I wasn't until Rin drove me to yell at her the other day and she hasn't talked to me since. I care for that young human and between me and you (shippo is sleeping in Kagome's bag) I can't stand to have her not talk to me."
I was in shock! He saw Rin as his child and he loved her. This is a side of Sesshomaru I had never seen.
"Well I'm happy to help."
Another awaked silence set between us. I want to know why he threatened Inuyasha when he called me a wench. Should I ask? YES…NO…ok I'll ask
"Sesshomaru why did you tell Inuyasha not to speak harshly to me, I am just a human like you pointed out many times? It seems that you have changed"
"There are matters you will not understand about me until you have lived with me. I have changed and I do still hate humans… other then you and Rin"
He doesn't hate me? Wow
Chills ran up my side. I could live with him he was not as rude as I thought he was. Was he ever as mean as I thought he was? Or was I just looking at it one sided?
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Sesshomaru.
"Lost in thought Mik- Um Kagome?"
"Oh, uh yea"
"You are still wondering why I am being so nice." He said stopping and looking down at me. Our eyes lock and I turn my head and blush cherry red
"You don't have to hide your face from me. You only have seen the wild demon, never the tame one. I am not that beast all the time. I do have a heart."
At the comment my head whipped around and looked at him. His eyes were the most stunning shade of purple I have ever seen.
"I know you have a heart; I never thought that you didn't. We were just on different sides and I'm just trying to adapt to the real you."
Not knowing, we were stopped standing still and looking into each others eyes. It was like we couldn't pull away from each other.
Then all my hairs stood up on the back of my neck and Sesshomaru looked at me
"Do you feel that?" I said looking at him and shaking
"Yes, go hide I'll handle the demon" he swung around looking and waiting for the demon to come out. I put the bag that had my dear Shippo in it behind a big bolder
"I'm fighting with you"
He looked at me and was about to object until he saw me draw my bow.
A big weasel demon appeared out of thin air. It was larger then others of its kind and it was pure black. I sensed that it had jewel shards in its chest.
"Sesshomaru it has four jewel shards in it chest. Don't underestimate I-"
But before I could finish he had attacked the battle was horrid. Sesshomaru would never let the demon come my way so I could help and if I got a clear shot Sesshomaru would always block it but then something unexpected happened the weasel demon shot poison darts from its mouth that ripped and cut Sesshomaru and he fell to the ground.
"NO" I yelped
I pulled my bow up and shot it with all the force I had in me. The arrow went through the weasel's chest and killed it. Not even worrying about the shards I ran to Sesshomaru. He was badly hurt with cuts and gashes all over his body. I smelt the poison and know it was the type of poison that would kill a demon if it was allowed to flow through their blood system long enough. I tried to hold back my tears but I couldn't. I started crying and trying to think what Kaede would do if this happened to Inuyasha. I Remembered Kaede saying that the white jade plant was a cure for any poison, so I woke up Shippo and told him to watch Sesshomaru as I searched for the plant.
What am I going to do? I can't let him die! I..I ugh I don't know where this plant grows
Lost in thought I didn't realize that there was a thorn branch in front of me and of course I tripped over it. "DAMN IT" I yelled
I got up and dusted my self off, I looked over to the right and saw a white flower with a red middle and I throne stem. It was the flower I was looking for. I rushed to pick it while still being careful. I rushed back to where Shippo and the others were. I grinded the petals up so that he could swallow. I feel his face and he is burning up. I open his mouth and put the flowers in his mouth, and like I did with my dog at home I rubbed his neck to make him swallow. Then I sat and waited. After sundown I started to worry. I built a fire and put Shippo to sleep. I noticed that I couldn't hear him breathing.
" Oh no, I was to late" I said starting to shake and then I started to cry, I pulled my knees into my body and started to cry harder,
" Why are you crying miko?" I heard a smooth voice say. I look um and see the man that I thought I killed sitting up looking as brand new.
"SESSHOMARE" I scream jumping on him and hugging his neck
"Um…" he said uncomfortably
"OH" I said removing my hands from around his neck and moving off his lap
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine thanks to you. You saved my life"
"Just repaying you for all your kindness" he looked at me confused.
"What do you mean repaying me for my kindness"
" For all the kindness you have shown me. For all you have done." He thought about it for awhile and then looked up at me and smiled.
"Tell me your story, I want to know about you" I said at him
" I've never told any one my story " he said looking at me and thinking really hard
She wants to know my story? She is a very strange human. But there is something about her that draws me to her.
"Where do you want me to start?" he asked
"The beginning" I said scooting closer to him.
We stayed up almost to sun rise talking about his life and how sometimes it was easy and sometimes he thought he was not going to make it through the day, which today was one of those days.
I looked at him wide eyed and interested.
"Wow, my life is nothing like that. All I've been through is bad hair days and bad grades." I said with a dry laugh.
The last thing I remember talking about was his mother.
When the sun finally came up I woke up and the ground was rising and falling, well that is what I thought until I figured out that I fell asleep on sesshomaru's chest. I jump up and blush cherry red.
"Good morning Kagome. We must get ready to leave. I am sure Rin has almost killed Jaken several time already." I laughed and got my stuff together. Then before I knew it me, Shippo, and Lord Sesshomaru were on out way to the castle of the west.
