Well here is chapter 4 nothing much to say except i loved the reviews and it encouraged me to write the nest chapter. ENJOY!!
Sesshomaru came to the solid gate of the abandoned church and had found it to be locked. He gazed up to the open window and cautiously looked around him before jumping onto ledge and stepping through the broken window. He went up the tower of stairs before coming to a balcony that over looked the large alter below. Sesshomaru easily balanced himself upon a broken statue and sat, placing his sketch book on his lap, he quietly drew.
Just who does my mother think I am? He flawlessly moved his pencil against the white paper, he just let his fingers flow and whatever came to thought he drew. Although right about now he wouldn't mind drawing a knife in his mother's throat. Does she think I am not strong enough or smart enough to be an Alpha male? He couldn't let himself think that her decision had not affected on him because t did. For the past 2 years his mother pestered him to take a mate shoving girls into his hand. Some were beautiful yes but the females he attracted were either after his money or lusted after him, which he didn't complain about. Nights he would have his fun and leave them.
One rule that he promised to himself was to never touch a human. They were weak creatures that let their emotions run astray, preying on each other live a vicious parasite. His silver eyebrows burrowed deeper on his fore head. Humans were too trusting and yet they can be the most deceiving. Sesshomaru took his paper he was currently drawing on and crumpled it in his hands. "Useless" he muttered.
He tossed the paper on the floor along with his other crumpled pieces of paper that he had left days ago throughout his visits. Just when his pencil touched his paper, a loud creaking noise was heard below him. He leaned over brushing his silver hair over his shoulders to see what animal was creeping into the church.
I think it might be going the wrong way. Kagome thought nibbling her lip. She looked all around her to find no one on the street. Daniel is going to kill me.
Kagome walked a little bit towards south near the large church. The beautiful structure captivated her, the torn paint and weak bricks evidently told her that it was very old and no one had used it in a while. Then her curiosity got the best of her. Quickly glancing down at her watch it was just 7:30 and it wasn't quite dark yet. Excited that she decided to look internally at the historical landmark she crept up to the gate finding a lock just above around. "Crap" she mumbled.
She looked around for any openings behind the gate and found the door with a small hole in it, small enough for her to crawl through. But how can I jump over this gate. The gate reached just about two inches over her head and nothing supported it to crawl over. Then a thought popped. If she was a werewolf then she was equipped with their strength. She could jump over this; she just needed a bit of a boost. Kagome ran away from the gate and turned crouching in a running stance. I hope this works. She burst into a run, mentally timing her jump, and then she did it her foot barely missing the thick wire laced above the metal gate. She landed unsteadily on her feet.
She squealed with happiness and crawled in through the hole, watching for any spiders along the way. She definitely hated those things. As she made her way through the hole a big piece of wood was blocking the way and Kagome pushed it out of the way. Her ears throbbed from the loud noise and she crawled through, swinging the dust from her face. "Wow" was all she could say.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as a woman crawled in through a hole in the front door. Just how did she get over that gate? He could have jumped but apparently the hole was too small for him. He was not worried that she would see him because he was so far up the shadows cast a mist of black over him and no amount of light could touch him. He breathed deep and could smell that she was human and he let out a slight growl. She was not supposed to be here, this church had celebrated only their kind, and humans were fed as sacrifices to the strongest of packs. He saw the girl face curl in the look of disgust as she began to wipe the thick strands of webs from her shirts and shorts. She was oblivious to the large spider caught wiggling in her curly mass of hair.
Kagome was staring in awe at the large alter in front of her. The old carpet was dark and covered in dust. The chairs were eaten away by termites, the half melted candles sat still in their place just rotting away with the rest of the church. Kagome noticed that she was basically covered in spider webs and frantically tried to brush them off. Then she went suddenly still, wherever there was a spider web there was a spider. She felt weight on the side of her head and she touched it. Small hairy legs wrapped about her finger.
Sesshomaru winced as the wench let out a deafening scream, arms flailing and running about. He could hardly hear her muffled words as she tossed her long and curly hair aside, the ponytail coming loose and her hair swung about in black waves. So black. He thought. He had never seen a woman possess such dark hair. He almost jumped off his statue as the girl ran smack into a chair and fell. Why had he moved? Sesshomaru sat back down to see if the girl hadn't knocked herself out.
Kagome let out a loud groan as she pulled herself up. The perpetrator of her cause ran away from her, silently laughing at her clumsiness. Kagome took one of the broken legs of the chair she ran into and with a mean force brought it down on the spider.
"Let's see how you like that" She said.
She got up to her feet, cursing at the chair then set her sights again on the church. The light from within the city glowed through the stained glass, giving her enough light to maneuver around. With all her 'good genes' she couldn't see any clearer than she should have. She figured that she was not up to her full strength because of her refusal to eat meat. And she wasn't going too not even if someone forced it upon her.
Sesshomaru continued staring at the human woman. Why hadn't she left yet? She truly couldn't be that interested in this place, women never held a sense of knowledge about such things they would rather spend their time shopping or whining. When she neared the stained glass that had mostly lost its coloring, she peered at it her fingers tracing the intricate design of a two wolves howling at the moon. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes in curiosity. He thought as he stared down at the woman. She had the most vivid blue eyes he had ever saw before. They were almost as blue as the sea but something about them made them glow, radiating light from her eyes.
This creature is indeed amusing. He stiffened. What was he doing? He should be gone by now yet he was wasting his time eyeing a stupid human woman that he should be feeding on. His eyes ran down the back of her white tank top. He couldn't see much because of her raven hair. But he could just imagine the deep arch in her back running down till he came to the perk firmness of her ass. He knew just the spot to tear into her. Stop this now He commanded himself. Sesshomaru knew that he was becoming somewhat attracted to this weak being and he decided to end the ridiculous feeling now.
"What are you doing here" His voice boomed through the church.
Kagome slightly yelped in fear clutching her heart. "What the hell… are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
Sesshomaru narrowed to dangerous slits. What right does she has to talk to me like that? He chose between the decision to rip out her throat and ask questions later.
"Hello" She asked in a delicate voice.
"I asked you a question"
Kagome could detect where the voice was coming from but she couldn't see anyone up above. "ummm I was just looking at the church when I was passing by and decided to come in and have a look" She silently hoped that the guy wasn't a policeman. She did break into a locked church.
Sesshomaru fingered the pencil in his hands. She was looking right up at him but he knew she couldn't see him.
"And how did you get across the locked gate"
Kagome got nervous when he asked her how she got in. She had to come up with an idea quick.
"I jumped over it-
"That gate is 3 inches taller than you, I seriously doubt it you jumped" Sesshomaru said angrily. He knew she was lying to him.
Kagome fixed her hands on her hips. "If you would have let me finished, I used a wooden bin from nearby and used it to jump over the gate"
"The barbed wire refuses anyone to climb over it"
Kagome burrowed her eyebrows in anger, quickly remembering about her eyes she turned around. What is this twenty one questions? She was willingly answering this guy's questions and she didn't know whether or not he was a policeman.
"The wire is ages old, it broke very easily…are you a policeman" Kagome turned back around to the pitch black wall.
Sesshomaru didn't quite believe her but he was too far away to sense if she was lying. He watched her as she stared up, her fore head slightly collected sweat, and she was unusually pale. Was she sick? Humans were attracted to sickness to anything else on the earth. Was her sickness so severe that she would die? Sesshomaru assumed by her youthful face that she was at least in her early twenties. So young. He didn't have the benefit of aging; yes he had been alive for more than 897 years and honestly it was getting quite boring. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he had almost forgot that the girl had asked him a question.
"No I'm not a policeman…where are you from" those bright blue eyes couldn't have come from Romanian. Most women here eyes were brown, green or hazel. So she had to be a tourist.
"You're not a policeman! then why are you asking me questions like I'm the culprit…How did you get in here and get up that high" Kagome asked ignoring his question.
The pencil in Sesshomaru's hands snapped. This girl was too feisty for her own good. It would definitely get her killed in Romania. Sesshomaru growled before moving off the statue and standing at his own exit.
"If I were you little girl, I would watch my tongue. You obviously do not know the ways of Romania, talking as such will get you killed…or worse"
Kagome folded her arms. "Are you threatening me? Wow that's coming from a guy who's cowering in the shadows"
Sesshomaru let out a fierce roar and Kagome fell to the floor, her mouth hung open and her heart beat hard against her chest. She watched in awe and fear as the stranger dropped from the shadows landing silently on the worn concrete floor. Sesshomaru slowly made quiet footsteps towards the woman, who was crawling backwards to the front door. In a flash quicker than any human she tried to crawl through the hole but Sesshomaru had caught her leg. Kagome winced in pain as her nails dug through the wood and the nails of her assailant on her ankle. He flipped her around and Kagome noticed the flicker in his eyes.
He's a werewolf. Kagome thought. She also noticed the long silver flowing hair and piercing golden eyes. He was part of the silver clan Daniel had told her about. The same clan that would kill her if they found out about her heritage. Kagome gasped for air as his rough clawed hand gripped her neck and held her in the air.
"It is best that you keep your tongue, human. This Sesshomaru does not tolerate such disrespect from your kind" He brought her red face close to his. ""If you know what is best for you, you should leave this place"
Kagome hit the floor gasping for air. She tearfully looked up at Sesshomaru as he glared down at her. Not wasting a second chance she crawled to the hole nearby and went through. Once she was on the other side near the gate she jumped over that and ran down the street not once looking back. Sesshomaru jumped down the ledge just in time to see Kagome turn the corner. He could smell her fear in the air as he sniffed.
Sesshomaru walked in the opposite direction, his eyes downcast in thought. Why hadn't I killed her? Could it be that he was going soft for humans or was it something about her that made him hesitate? He never hesitated before…not once, Now that he did so made him livid yet curious. He wanted to know how a weak being like her had had a hold on him. He breathed deep in the air finding her scent.
Interesting…she smells like chocolate. He never minded such human creations but the smell coming from the young woman was alluring. He mentally remembered her smell; he was not going to let her slip from his fingertips. Sesshomaru wanted to know why he hesitated.

After fifteen minutes of running Kagome finally found Daniels home, she knocked on the door and waited cautiously looking behind her for Sesshomaru. The door opened and Inuyasha stood there with a bowl of bacon. Why is he eating bacon in the middle of the night? Kagome shook her head and pushed pass him. Inuyasha yelled up the stairs after.
"You better learn some manners around here, human!"
Kagome bounded through the hall and came to her door. She locked it behind her and sat on her bed biting her fingernails. I should have just kept my mouth shut she said mentally. "No I had every right to say what I had to say"
Kagome thought back to that guy Sesshomaru, He acted nothing like Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked more like the puppy next door with his warm eyes and doggy ears. Sesshomaru on the other hand looked more dangerous, His eyes were colder and he had an animalistic air about him. The weirdest thing was that she actually thought he was very attractive and his voice had a deep smooth baritone to it that she could listen to for hours. A shiver ran down Kagome's back and she moved closer to her pillows.
Welcome to reality Kagome She was so tired that she didn't even want to get up and take a shower before she slept. As she nodded her head and pulled the pillows closer to her. She fell asleep.
The next morning the sun was well up when Kagome felt the hot rays in her eyes. She moaned and dragged herself up. It took a lot of effort to even get up out of the bed to the shower. She washed herself without moving her arms around much and her eyes constantly closed before she would snap them open. Kagome treaded out of the shower wrapping a towel on her and went to the fogged mirror.
Daniel was downstairs eating some chips watching television when he heard a scream sound from upstairs. He sat his bowl on the table sighing. He hoped the guys weren't playing pranks on the girls with their toys. He bounded up the stairs to find Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha pounding at Kagome's door. He went to the door to find it unlocked.
"What's going on" He asked them.
Sango spoke up. "We were in Inuyasha's room when we heard Kagome scream, we came and knocked but we heard a loud thud and she hasn't come to the door yet"
Daniel knocked on the door. "Kagome?" There was nothing but silence. "You all stand back"
Daniel broke down the door in one move and Sango gasped as Kagome was laid out on the floor shaking. There was a thin trail of blood that was leaking from her nose. Sango also noticed the black and blue marks on her neck. Daniel went over to Kagome touching her forehead with the back of his hand and he felt her pulse. His eyes narrowed on the mark on her neck before picking her up bridal style and placing her on the soft bed.
Daniel fixed her towel tighter on her body so it wouldn't show any of her body. He quickly treated her severe shaking and cold skin as her continuing neglect of meat.
"Sango go down stairs and bring me the sliced meat in the bowl" Sango nodded before rushing downstairs. Inuyasha and Miroku were standing in the doorway. "Close the door behind you"
Kagome breathed deep between her hard breathing. "What is wrong with me?"
Daniel barely could make out her words. "I told you Kagome, you need meat to survive psychically. I'm surprised that your body has been going on this long without shutting down on you. Meat is essential to the werewolves' habit of eating. It provides a strong healthy body, other types of food will do but only for a while" Inuyasha was talking in the back ground but he paid him no mind.
Kagome tried to lean up but Daniel pushed her back down. She saw Sango come in with a bowl of meat…raw. She turned her eyes to Daniel before clutching his hand. "I told you no meat"
Daniel shook his head. "Sorry your body has started taking action. It will begin to feed on your muscle and bone for the nutrients it need."
Inuyasha was looking at Daniel like he was insane. Could he not smell that Kagome was human? Whatever was wrong with her was human related. She was not one of them.
When Daniel took a piece of warm meat in his hands Inuyasha stepped forward. "Daniel she's human can you not smell her and see. She's sick with a disease or something"
Daniel was annoyed with Inuyasha and Kagome's stubbornness. "Shut up Inuyasha"
When Daniel neared the meat to Kagome's mouth she turned her head and stubbornly looked away. Daniel tried again and she gave him an icy look her eyes flickering. Inuyasha stopped talking. He and Miroku looked at each other before turning back. Kagome glared at Daniel for trying to feed her the meat when he told her she didn't want it. But it smelled so delicious… she shook her head. I'm not going to eat that!
"Get that thing-
Daniel shoved the meat in her mouth then clamped his hand over it. Kagome shook her head wildly but Daniel never let his hand loose. She was going to swallow that piece of meat. He had all the time in the world to make sure she did. He had a responsibility now. Daniel promised himself that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. He was quite curious to know how she got that bruise.
Kagome finally swallowed the meat and she slowly began to feel better. Her shaking was slowing down and a bit of warmth filled her body.
"Now I can do this all day. You will finish this bowl of meat by yourself or I can force you" Daniel fixed his glasses with one hand.
For two minutes Kagome glared at him before snatching another piece of meat and cramming it in her mouth biting away. If this is going to make me not act all funny again I'll be glad to eat a whole fridge of it" Kagome didn't like the feeling of being helpless she had enough of that last night. After Daniel ushered everyone out the room, he came back with a glass of water handing it to her.
"How did you get that bruise" pointing to her neck.
I forgot about that… "Ummmm I went to the abandoned church last night, I had forgotten my way a bit and decided to take a look. There was a guy there but I couldn't see him, he threatened me and I said something. It was Sesshomaru"
Daniel eyes widened. "You should be dead. Don't you know that?"
"yea I know but you don't have to worry I learned my lesson, no night ventures away from the house" Kagome stuck another piece of meat in her mouth.
Daniel nodded and was happy with the results of her eating properly. Her skin had pinkened and had a natural blush to her cheeks. Her normally dull lips were full and slightly red. She no longer looked like a sick patient but a healthy young woman.
"I think he wanted to kill me though" He heard Kagome say. "There was something in his eyes before he let me go"
"Sesshomaru never let the one's he intends to kill live. In fact anyone that shows him disrespect go about walking without a head, you are just lucky to be alive"
Kagome nodded. Maybe it was more than luck.
"Go to sleep Kagome, I can still sense you are tired" Daniel patted her feet before walking out the door.
He never hesitated to kill someone before? Kagome wondered. Maybe I am just lucky but I can't help but think that he let me go for some other reason. Kagome reached down for another piece of meat her fingers meeting the bottom. I ate it all. She put the bowl away before curling in her covers. Not long after she fell asleep.
WELL i had to make their meeting not so happy going. although Sesshomaru is a bit curious about Kagome and plans on seeing her again. Kagome on the other hand will look different to him when he sees her that is why i put the last part inn about her eating the meat. maybe sparks will fly next time?? So tell me what ya think and i'll be working on the next chapter.
Sesshomaru's Miko
