Title: The Blind Leading the Blind
Chapter: 3
"Hurry up Kagome, we don't have all –"Inuyasha paused once he stepped into the clearing. "day." He finished not bothering to close his slightly gaping mouth.
Sesshoumaru sighed. This was not good. If Inuyasha found out about his sudden handicap he would be forced into a fight. Really he wasn't in the mood to fight that half-breed anymore under the circumstances. Not that he couldn't defeat the brat, but it would merely be a hassle.
"What are you looking at you mutt!" Squawked Jaken from the sidelines somewhere.
"Hush Jaken." Said Sesshoumaru turning towards the sound of Jaken's voice as though he was really looking at him. His glazed eyes turned away from the party.
Kagome noted mutely that this was a problem. Inuyasha would eventually close his mouth only to open it again with an ingeniously stupid comment that would get them all killed.
"We were just leaving. Excuse us Lord Sesshoumaru, we apologize for the misunderstanding." Kagome bowed before Sesshoumaru. He nodded closing his eyes again as though to bored to bother.
Sesshoumaru for his part couldn't decide whether to be relieved or worried. Not that he should be worried, but still. Kagome turned and began to walk back to Inuyasha's side who, for the record seemed unusually quiet.
"Miko." Kagome froze in the middle of a step almost falling over at the sudden pause.
"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru?" Kagome replied turning back to face Sesshoumaru.
"What do you know about poisons?" he asked never turning to look at her.
"Some basics and herb remedies." Kagome said shrugging slightly.
"May I speak to you alone for a minute?" Asked Sesshoumaru scowling slightly. He hated asking things, and certainly it was worse because he was asking a human.
"Um sure. Inuyasha could you leave us for a moment?" Kagome asked glancing over her shoulder to the hanyou.
"Hurry up." He said turning and walking back into the dense forest. Kagome blinked once then turned back to the demon only to find him standing in front of her. His hand shot out latching around her neck, gripping it tightly. Kagome gasped for breath her hands lightly grasping her captures hand in a futile attempt to save herself.
"Speak of what I have to tell you to Absolutely No One." He growled out next to her ear.
Kagome nodded and nearly fell down the instant Sesshoumaru released her. Coughing lightly she rubbed her throat returning her gaze to the white statue in front of her.
Sesshoumaru sighed and returned to his spot beneath the tree nearby. When he didn't hear the crunching of shoes he assumed the girl had not moved from her spot.
"Come, sit." Said Sesshoumaru. Kagome blinked once more than slowly wandered over to the demon smoothing her skirt as she settled onto the ground.
"What do you know about my poison?" Asked Sesshoumaru his brows suddenly darkening his expression. Kagome gulped slightly.
"Um, it's green, melts the object upon contact, and the smell alone could kill someone." Replied Kagome shifting uncomfortably.
Sesshoumaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes, well if he could roll his eyes that is. "I seemed to have found myself in a minor predicament that I think you might be able to solve." Said Sesshoumaru his voice seeming slightly more hushed, as though he didn't want someone to overhear. Jaken for his part seemed about to bust at the seams to screech at her but he was obeying Sesshoumaru's orders and not speaking. It probably didn't help that Rin was forming a daisy crown for the poor youkai's head.
"Me?" Sesshoumaru nodded once before slowly opening his mouth as though trying to decide what to say.
"Yes you see I happened to have stumbled upon a curious discovery." Said Sesshoumaru rubbing at his eyes slightly with annoyance. They still hurt.
"It seems I've lost my ability to see." Said Sesshoumaru not bothering to remove his hand from his face.
"You're blind?" Asked Kagome in shock. Well this isn't what she expected. True she didn't know what to expect, but it was more realistic than Sesshoumaru declaring his undying love to Naraku.
Sesshoumaru said nothing but merely lowered his hands and opened his eyes.
They had a glazed, if not cloudy look and as she waved her hand in front of his face, was mildly surprised that his eyes didn't respond.
"How did this happen?" She asked not bothering to remove the awe out of her voice.
Sesshoumaru frowned and if Kagome didn't know better, since this was Sesshoumaru she could have swore he pouted.
"I'd rather not say." Said Sesshoumaru.
Kagome frowned. "Well then how do you expect me to help you?"
Sesshoumaru frowned more then gave up sighing again. "I accidentally got poison in my eyes." He mumbled.
Kagome blinked. "What?"
"I said I accidentally got poison in my eyes." Sesshoumaru state a bit louder out
Kagome had to bit her lip to keep from laughing out loud.
A very crappy chapter 3. I'm not happy with how this chapter turned out, but it'll do. Maybe my writing will improve if I stop writing at midnight and instead return to reasonable hours. Ah well, suggestions are still welcome along with your reviews.
