A Mirror's Reflection

Lady Nefertiti

Last time: Hiko also sensed a female with Sesshomaru. There were rumors going around about Sesshomaru that a certain powerful Miko had caught his eye, the Miko of the Shikon-no-tama that is. Could this be her that he had gone to get? He wanted to meet this Miko that everyone respected and talked about. Hiko sat back down and waited for them to come into the study.


Chapter 7: Rules needn't apply part 2

-Sesshomaru and Kagome- (on their way west)

She was happy that Sesshomaru had let her accompany him on his way back home. Of course she'd never tell him that. He'd probably scoff and say something like, 'weak humans and their weak emotions.' Walking behind him a little, she stared at his back and the way his long silver hair swayed in the wind and she smiled softly. The comfortable calm and feeling of protection that he displayed without even knowing it. It was something that Kagome wanted to bask (relax) in and not have to worry about anything for a while. No demons attacking her left and right. No Inuyasha yelling at her face or insulting her and she didn't have to run home this time either. No heartbreak or accidently running into Kikyo and Inuyasha 'doing it.'

She grimaced. Life really wasn't fair sometimes. Boys that wanted her she didn't like and boys that she wanted… they didn't like her. Or they did but had another woman on the side. She didn't realize that she had stopped walking when Sesshomaru turned around suddenly to look at her. She gulped. He wasn't going to insult or use some rude remark to put her down was he? He narrowed his eyes and then looked past her shoulder saying, "We are being followed. And they're coming fast. Like they lost something special."

Kagome didn't respond but turned around to look into the distance where Sesshomaru was looking. If she didn't know any better he'd already figured out who was following them with him saying something like, 'Weak humans and their inferior human senses.' But Sesshomaru wasn't Inuyasha right? He'd never say anything like that would he? She didn't dare turn around to look at his face. She could already tell that he was irritated and angry by the sound of his voice. But what were they going to do to get away from this 'said' person? She knew that Sesshomaru wasn't one to run away from danger. But should she even ask him? Her body tensed when she felt his arm around her waist….

"Ummm…" Kagome began staring down at the striped arm.

-Miroku-

He hurried his way back to his dear and lovely Sango. He felt that he had the need to reassure her that he wasn't one to go running after village girls, now that he was a married man with a baby on the way no less! But those dear and lovely magazines! Those poor beautiful maidens! Burned into ashes! Looking at them wouldn't certainly hurt right? In any case they would give him future ideas….he-he... He was making his way towards the village when he saw a lovely lady sitting underneath the shade of a tree…and he turned his hentai radar back on.

-Sango-

How dare he run away from her? And at such a crucial time too? She gasped. Had she sent him away? Was he perhaps angry with her that she was seeking him out only because he wanted to see the magazines that Kagome brought?

Kagome…

How was she doing? Sango had said it was 'soo romantic' that Kagome was going off with Sesshomaru but that must have been her crazy hormones. Had it been a good idea that she'd sent Kagome on her way (well it was Kagome) who said that she wanted to go with Sesshomaru? Of course Sango would've stopped Kagome had she not been 100 percent sure that he wasn't going to just throw her in some dungeon once he got to his castle. But even now she wasn't so sure. Inuyasha was missing (had he gone after Kagome?) Maybe he got some sense knocked into him since Kagome 'sat' him and he left Kikyo here! GAH! Why couldn't he take her along as well? She had this bad vibe to her.

Kagome left her oversize yellow bag here with all her supplies and just took one little bottle which she called 'pepper spray.' Of course Sango had seen the bottle before and curiously picked it up to read what it said.

Pepper Spray:

Instructions: Hold bottle directly in front of you. Press button/lever down with finger. Spray directly at person, in the eyes.

Warning: Keep out of the reach of children. Use with Caution. Do not inhale or eat. This is NOT a food item.

She had asked Kagome what it was used for and Kagome said that it was a sort of protection for people.

-Flashback-

" For instance if you're attacked Sango then you spray it in the person's eyes and it causes a stinginess, well it burns like hell and then you have the chance to get away from the attacker." Kagome said.

"Wow. Can I have one? I can use that on Miroku." Sango said perhaps thinking that it would keep his wandering hands away.

'….'

"Sango...nothing you do is going to keep those hands away from you." Kagome said grinning at Sango's embarrassed face.

-End Flashback-

GASP! She wasn't going to use it on Sesshomaru was she? He'd kill her! Really! For really Real!

-Back to Kagome and Sesshomaru-

Kagome didn't know what to make of this situation. Here she was pulled against Sesshomaru, with his arm wrapped around her waist….what was he waiting for? She looked up at him and just blinked.

"Miko do you have more of that poison?" Sesshomaru asked her.

"Err..Yes?" Kagome said wondering what he was thinking.

"Good." He said finally looking down into her questioning blue eyes. No one would take her away from him. He couldn't believe the audacity of the intruder…he was coming back for Kagome? How dare he? Sesshomaru didn't like trespassers or lowly demons who needed to die on the western lands. These were his lands. This was his Miko. The Lords Miko. And no one would take away what was his. No one.

Sesshomaru was acting strange. Kagome thought. Was he planning to take down this demon? Then why was he holding onto her? Not that she was complaining or anything.

"This Sesshomaru hopes you're not afraid of heights Kagome."

Huh? He said her name? Kagome was too busy thinking over the fact that he said her name to actually comprehend what he said to her. Suddenly a cloud formed underneath the two and they took to the sky.

"Se-sho-Maruuu! I'm afraid of heights!" Kagome said latching onto him for dear life.

"Hn." Was all he said looking ahead of him. She shook her head and hoped that he wouldn't drop her. But hadn't she said earlier that it was so romantic 'When said, Miko of the Shikon ran off with the devilishly handsome aristocratic demon Lord of the western lands? Kagome was happy right where she was.

-Hiko-sama-

Sesshomaru was coming with that Shikon Miko. Good. It was about time. Of course he was a patient demon lord and could wait but when it had something to do with this...it was very important. He stood from where he was sitting and stared into the fireplace. Nothing else mattered. Not his lands, not his people, nothing.

Inuyasha: "Oi! Where have you been?! Everyone thought something bad happened to you?!"

Lady Nefertiti: "Law and classes in college aren't exactly easy you know!"

Inuyasha: "Everyone knows that Law!"

"First law: Get Jewel shards and Kill Naraku"

"Second law: Bring Kikyo back to life"

"Third Law: Kill Sesshomaru"

Lady Nefertiti: (eyebrow twitches) "I can't have you kill Sesshomaru."

Kagome: "How dare you even think of killing Sesshomaru baka hanyou!?"

SIT!

"$%%&^#$%#$%$%$#^%^%$^%&^&^"

Sesshomaru: (smirks into the Inuyasha crater) "The ladies love this Sesshomaru"
