Sesshoumaru's Biggest Challenge
Sesshoumaru went back downstairs after change his kimono since it was soak from taking Kagura a bath. He saw Kagura and Rin playing tag in the main hall once he got down.
Kagura was clumsy and tripped and fell and then Rin tripped over her and fell on top of Kagura. Sesshoumaru shook heads head and wondered how much longer he would have to deal with this.
He walked over to the two girls who smiled at him. " It's time for you to go to sleep."
" But Sesshoumaru-sama, I'm not sleepy. Can't we stay up and play some more?"
" No. You both need your rest. You've been playing since Kagura had first arrived here."
" We'll be quiet."
" Rin. Go to your room. Jaken in waiting for you." The little girl sighed. She knew hse wouldn't be able to win in an argument against Sesshoumaru. She nodded her head and looked over at Kagura.
" Good night, Kagura. See ya in the morning." She ran up the stairs and went to her room.
Kagura stood up and looked at Sesshoumaru. He looked down at her. " You have t go to sleep to. Come."
Sesshoumaru walked up the stairs with Kagura following close behind. He led her to her room and shut the screen once he saw her laying down. He entered his room and laid down on his futon and watched the rainfall outside his window. He watched as a flash of lighting came from the clouds and then it was followed by a crash of thunder. He looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes.
After about two hours of resting Sesshoumaru heard whimpering coming from next door in Kagura's room. He got out of his of his futon and went to check on her.
He stepped into her room and saw the girl tossing and turning in her sleep. It seemed like she was having a nightmare. Sesshoumaru walked beside her and shook her awake. Kagura got up and was scared. Sesshoumaru figured that it was probably a memory from Naraku's castle.
Kagura wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's neck and cried. " I tought you were my father. I was scwared." He slightly blushed as he gently pushed her away. Se looked at him and smiled.
The thunder crashed louder and Kagura jumped. She wrapped her arms around herself and shook hoping the thunder would go away. Sesshoumaru picked her up and carried her to his room. He laid her down and sat next to her. " You can stay here for tonight."
" Aren't you gonna sleep?"
" No. I rarely sleep anyway. Just go to sleep already Kagura."
" How come I have to sleep, but you don't? That's not fair."
" Kagura…what are you doing?" He looked puzzled at the Sorceress who was now sticking her head out the window. Her head was getting soaked from the rain. Sesshoumaru pulled hr back before she fell out the window. " Are you crazy? You could have gotten yourself killed."
" Wat? It's only water. It can't hurt anyone." She blinked in confusion because she didn't understand why she got in trouble.
Sesshoumaru sighed. " Just lay back down, Kagura and don't do that again."
Kagura walked back into the futon and covered herself with the blanket. The thunder crashed again and she held on tightly to Sesshoumaru. " When is ta thunder gonna stop? It's scwaring me."
" Soon. It would end faster if you go to sleep."
" I don't wanna go to sleep cause then I'll have that scwary dream again."
" It's just a dream. It can't hurt you."
" But what if it comes true. If good dreams can come true ten bad dreams can come true too, right."
" Dreams are foolish. I don't believe in good or bad dreams."
" No wonder your so seriwous all of ta time."
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagura. She had crawled up closer to him. He laid down next to her. She smiled. " Dreams make people happy swome times because it gives them someting to look forward to. If you don't have them then it will make lwife seem not worth living." Sesshoumaru was surprised that she knew so much even though her mind was only at a child's level.
" Kagura go to sleep."
" No"
"Yes"
" No"
" Yes" He put his hand to her mouth before she could answer him back. " It's late and if you don't go to sleep now then you'll be to tired t play with Rin tomorrow."
Kagura thought about this and finally agreed to go to sleep. She grabbed Sesshoumaru's kimono tightly and cuddled closer to him. She looked at his face and giggled. " I still tink you look like a girl."
" Good night Kagura." Sesshoumaru replied annoyed. Kagra yawned and closed her eyes and fell asleep. Sesshoumaru looked at her and then back outside to watch the rain fall once again

Author's Note:
Ha another chapter. This one didn't have as much humor. In fact, I don't think it had any humor in it. Whatever, I hope you like this chapter. I did it while trying to finish my math homework. I hate math. It's so hard. Anyway the next chapter is Chapter 5: Why? Why? Why? Heh, my friend's sister gave me the idea while me and my friend was babysitting her. So I hope I have it soon. Bye-Bye for now.
