Chapter Three

Inuyasha gritted his teeth as he was dragged to Sesshomaru's castle. His head thrown back, and his feet gathering a good amount of dirt as he was dragged very unwillingly made him a non-too-happy camper. Kagome didn't seem at all distraught over her 'friend's' irritation. She had other things to worry about. Her very disturbing dreams were defiantly something she wasn't too happy about. She'd given many poor unsuspecting bushes evil glares every time she woke from said dreams.

"Good Kagome, just keep thinking about them and they'll surly go away. You're what hell of a smart cookie…" Kagome thought to herself. Sango looked at her friend with worry. She'd been acting like this for…a while now.

"Kagome?" Sango asked, her voice calm, yet some concern was obvious. Kagome took a few seconds to register.

"Wha-huh?" She mumbled. Sango walked closer to her friend and bent to her level.

"Is everything alright?" she asked. Kagome didn't even get to answer before Inuyasha's piercing scream let them know that they had arrived at their destination. He really seemed…happy about this little field trip.

Miroku was the first to gather the courage to walk up to the huge doors and knock, but his work was cut out for him…the door swung open and a very irate looking demon stood steaming at the doorway. Inuyasha had been gagged, tied up, beaten, shoved, insulted, 'sat', soaked, and tortured, but nothing seemed to influence the boy to behave in front of his brother. But, the site of what it did do was all too amusing to said brother. Sesshomaru's anger was somewhat extinguished.

"Sesshomaru," Miroku started, "As you probably know, there is a huge storm coming that will surly strip any man of his skin if not properly protected. We ask you of shelter, for the night would be quite a horror for us. And, if we were to survive it, God knows that our Inuyasha's ego at having survived it would be inflated to a horrendous level. We ask please to form at least a tempararty alliance, or…perhaps permanent?" Miroku suggested.

As this was a bit of a shock, Sesshomaru took some time to think about the request. He came to a conclusion, trying his best not to think about the infuriatingly gorgeous Miko not three feet away from him…grr. Needless to say, having a beautiful woman whom he'd had many wet dreams about and often day dreamed about within his company was every man's worst nightmare to be sure.

He gathered what small amount of composure he could muster and pointed at Inuyasha.

"All but him." He said coolly. Despite having just been denied safety from certain death, Inuyasha seemed to yell a shrill scream of delight which just sounded like a muffled yawn. Miroku sighed and walked toward Inuyasha.

"Then, I'll stay with him. Please, treat the women as if they were your dearest guests." He asked. Kagome and Sango were not too pleased with being left alone with Sesshomaru, but it was better then the alternative.

Ooo

When everyone had been properly taken care of, Sesshomaru promptly locked himself in his room, NOT to be disturbed. Kagome was too tired to do much, so Sango took wandering around the castle aimlessly into her own hands. She finally came to a room which was rather warm. It was unlike the rest of the other rooms. This room was filled with steam! It was a sort of hot spring room! She whirled around to find Kagome when she ran strait into a man with green hair. Unfortunatly, said man was hard as a brick wall when hit, so it sent her tumbling down to the hot spring. The man clumsily tried to catch her, but failed and Sango was soaked.

While trying to help her, Korugane could not help but let out the slightest of chuckles.

"I-I'm so sorry, are you…phskk…a-halright?" He asked, trying hard to hold back his laughter. For some reason, Sango felt it impossible to be angry at this man. His huge eyes seemed completely innocent in every way. The emerald gleam from them sent her into a strange stupor. She took a while to answer. Korugane waited as the woman seemed to stare right through him. He wondered if that was possible. Was he invisible? What would be pretty cool…

He then looked up at the ceiling. There was a little green blob he had yet to identify. He didn't want to fly up there and see, for that would be too simple, he wanted his mind to wander! He crossed his arms, almost forgetting the woman entirely.

Maybe it was a sign from aliens, that little green blob on the ceiling, and maybe he was the only one to see it! Maybe they wanted to take him with them to see other planets and stuff so that he could be all knowing of the universe and own a planet of his own and call it some absurd name! But then again, they could be there to probe him and do weird experiments on him and even steal his favorite shoes! Everyone was trying to take his shoes! Damn them! Damn them all!

"Those Bastards…" Korugane said softly to himself. Sango couldn't help but think she'd come in at the wrong time…

Hehe, he's special…
