Chapter 7: Misology

-With Kagome and Sesshomaru-

Kagome was busy contemplating where, what and whose pavilion she sat in. It probably belonged to someone important seeing that its decorations and furniture was more expensive than the others she'd seen in this castle. It was probably some high royal lady. Hmm she should go visit Sango soon. She wondered what she was up to. Sango had been assigned to be watched by that demon with green hair who Kagome knew that Sango took a liking to. She didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But it would probably be better if she didn't know what was going on in Sango's pavilion right now…..

There hadn't been any demon/soldier to watch over Kagome which was odd but maybe it was because Sesshomaru was with her? It had been kind of funny with Inuyasha yelling outside about the injustice of being left out and ignored by one of his tachi members since they knew each other for years etc….

She had seen Sesshomaru's expression which showed a glimpse of irritation when Inuyasha said that how dare his alpha female forget and ignore him. Or maybe it was that Sesshomaru knew how to control his emotions better than Inuyasha. She was sure Sesshomaru didn't hate Inuyasha but was rather irked of having such an embarrassing member to call part of his family.

He had humans in his palace and civil to some….she'd originally thought him to be a heartless human-hater. And had even yelled at him that he had no right to judge other people….well race for this matter. He hadn't liked it when she said he wasn't knowledgeable about humans and what they were like at all. Did she dare she assume that he was stupid?

She had apologized on Inuyasha's behalf-for causing such a ruckus (commotion, disturbance, uproar) in royal court but Sesshomaru casually brushed it off that it wasn't her place to do so. This had shocked her. Didn't he care if it destroyed his image in front of his subjects or not?

"Ah-ha!" Kagome said suddenly putting up one of her fingers. "….This Pavilion! I know who owns this. Or owned to at least…"

"Indeed?" he said. This would be quite interesting. He had to admit, she sure was an interesting human-when excited and fired up like that. It made her blue eyes sparkle. Her blue eyes….

"Sesshomaru! Are you paying attention to me?" Kagome said in an aggravated tone. She was being ignored! His mind was elsewhere at the moment. What? Was he thinking about a new battle strategy to take over some land? Declare war? Torture some new helpless rookie soldier? Maybe too many papers leftover to sign in his office?

He sighed inwardly saying that he was listening to her. He turned and blinked. Kagome was leaning forward from where she was sitting nose to nose, inches apart in 'kissing range' and was pouting like some unhappy baby who was denied some candy or present. She grabbed his collar and smiled with a mischievous look.

"Like I was saying this Pavilion belongs to a lady who is probably alive? but you kicked her out because she did something dishonorable and scandalous! She's going to come back with a vengeance and is already plotting evil against you! wait! You had a concubine and you never told me?!" Kagome asked. Then went on to ask if he had any 'pups' from them—and if yes did he have a crown prince?

Huh? As he'd always thought, Kagome Higurashi did have a vivid and very wild imagination.

"What? It's true then? Why aren't you saying anythin…Eehhh!" Kagome exclaimed as she fell…

(CRASH!)

"Oww…what happened?" Kagome said trying to get up and rubbed her bottom. Hmm something soft? Hard? She turned red as she saw what technically broke her fall and what was underneath her. Well now wasn't this interesting. She had fallen right on top of Sesshomaru. Great. He was going to behead her.

"Ahh—he-he…I was leaning in too much? Umm sorry?" Kagome said sheepishly sitting on his chest, tapping her chin and ignoring the fact that she should've gotten off the second she realized that she was sitting on top of him.

"Indeed." He said still not moving gazing up at her. She peered down at him thoughtfully. Well he hadn't sliced her head off yet. The start of a rocky relationship? Maybe?

Yes this was most awkward indeed…

-With Sango, General Taro and Miroku- (her pavilion)

"Sango's life in danger." Miroku repeated from where he was sitting. Indeed. The only danger here was this demon-which Sesshomaru had assigned to watch over his lovely Lady Sango but he, Miroku didn't like this Taro….and it seemed the feeling was vice versa. There was a foreboding aura in the room; tension thick in the air; although no one knew why it was present. After all, no words of hatred, no drama or death threats were spoken.

Sango sighed and crossed her arms-not knowing what to say to the pair. They looked like they were about to go 'at it' right about now for some unknown reason. Men…seriously. The whole lot of them. "Taro." She started. His attention turned towards her—his hostile aura evaporating-he addressed her with a pleasant voice.

Miroku frowned at this. He didn't like this feeling of competition? Was that the right word for it? Sango wouldn't….she wouldn't….never fall in love with the demon kind would she?! Surely not! Her job was to eliminate them not love them and GASP! Was she pregnant? How long had this bastard Taro been in here? She was blushing a red shade when he walked in and Taro had been casually standing there like he belonged there!

Inwardly he was shocked himself, why did he, Miroku hate this demon? This wasn't like his usual behavior even if this was the enemy. He had no real reason to hate him. He didn't even know him and was just jumping to conclusions and thinking that this Taro posed a real threat to him.

But still there was something odd about all this…..

Why would Sesshomaru assign her such a demon like him anyway? Didn't a high ranking general of the army-first division at that-have anything better to do than watch a mere human woman who it seemed to be a warrior of sorts?

Perhaps this Taro had too much time on his hands with a lot of free time to kill, literally speaking.

An invisible crackle of electricity between the two passed as they scowled at each other. Yes they really hated each other for some unknown reason. Sango coughed. How annoying. "Taro, what I was trying to say was…." she started suddenly.

"Sango-sama." Miroku said cutting in. She looked at him confused all of a sudden. He didn't want her to say something she didn't have to. You really couldn't trust the demon-kind. He ignored Taro's quite obvious glare of 'how dare you interrupt a lady' look.

This Taro fellow surely had some sketchy agenda up his sleeve, of this he was sure…

"What is it Miroku?" Sango said sighing. This 'dog-fight' between these guys was grating on her last nerves.

"Sango-sama are you pregnant by any chance?" he asked her in an innocent voice. He hadn't been expecting her violent flush of embarrassment or Taro who was about to pull out his katana in aggravation. Why had his lady let him into her pavilion in the first place? Were they close friends? Was this a feeling of jealousy?

But Sango-sama…His lady? When had that happened?

"WHAT?! YOU! YOU! HENTAI!" Sango said, eyes glaring daggers at him as she started to stand up.

(SLAP!)

(SLAP!)

(KICK!)

"Oww! Sango! I was just worried about you is all!" Miroku said rubbing his cheek then his shin/ankle. She humphed and sat back down looking elsewhere. She was so mortified! She wanted to sink into the ground and never emerge! That cute, sexy Taro had heard and saw Miroku and his hentai-ness ways. She was just used to it and knew he didn't mean anything by it.

She had seen Taro's expression when Miroku had rubbed her arse earlier. Geez! They were in a demon palace of all places! And they definitely didn't like their females being mistreated, violated or touched so casually for that matter.

"May I assassinate him to uphold your honor-in your name lady Sango?" Taro asked her as if he was asking her about today's weather and if it would be pleasant or not.

'…..'


Lady Nefertiti: Seems like Taro takes his job seriously lol...Please read and review! thanks.
