Me and Kc: Enjoy the chapter! ^_^

Disclaimer: I soo totally own Inuyasha!! I'm soo totally rich!! *wakes up from dream* Dammit! Well, wishful thinking. v_v I'll never own Inuyasha or n/e of the characters.

Weird feelings

Kagome sighed happily as she settled herself into the steamy water of the hot-spring. It relaxed her so to feel her tense and aching muscles melt away in a soft bliss.

"This is paradise. I think I'm gonna like it here."

Kagome turned her thoughts towards other things. It confused her so to know that Sesshoumaru was being so…so gentle to her.

"Why is Sesshoumaru being so kind to me? I know he told me earlier it was because I restored back his arm, but I don't think that's completely it."

She sat there thinking of the possibilities. He could want me to take care of Rin. I just met her and she is already attached to me. She is so kawaii! She sighed and decided to get out. Kagome dried her hair and body and put on the beautiful kimono that was put out for her. As soon as she finished tying the obi around her waist, Kaze-Kokoro walked in.

"Lord Sesshoumaru wishes to see you in his study."

"Alright then. Lead the way!"

They walked out of the bathing room and down a long hallway. So many doors. I wonder where each leads to.

"Enter here Lady Kagome. Lord Sesshoumaru should be inside."

"Domo arigato Kaze-Kokoro."

Kagome knocked on the door before entering when she heard a faint come in. She sighed and walked into the large room which was supposed to be the study.

"You wanted to see me Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"Hai I did Kagome. You don't have to be so formal around me. It's not like you are a servant here."

"But you are a lord and I must treat you as such."

In the back of her mind, Kagome was shocked. He's treating me as if we have been old pals. What has gotten over you Sesshoumaru? Why are you being so kind and not trying to kill me? Sesshoumaru read her mind. 'I just don't get it. When I was human he tried to kill me. Now that I'm demon, he's treating me with respect. I'm so confused.' Dear Kagome, you really have nothing to worry about.

"Now then. Kagome, something has been troubling me for quite a while."

Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and stared at Sesshoumaru with wide eyes.

"Uh…And what would that be might I ask?"

"Why are you not with my baka half brother?"

The reaction that she had given him was no surprise since she had already said earlier that he had a dead woman with him. Kagome glared him and started a low growl.

"That issue is none of your concern. There is no need for me to tell you at all. I would really appreciate it if you weren't so nosy."

"Just because you are a guest here doesn't mean that you can order me around. Although you do not need to address me formally, that doesn't mean that you can command things around here."

"I wasn't trying to order you around. I just don't like the fact that you are asking me subjects that really don't concern you. I will tell you later when I am in a better mood."

With that said Kagome turned on heel and walked out of the study. Sesshoumaru stared at the door and just went back to the papers he was working on. She didn't care if he grabbed her back to talk to him. Now that I'm in his watch gives him the right to be so nosy? So…so rude? While in her thoughts, she didn't notice herself getting lost in the rather large palace. Well, if he was being rude, he wouldn't have given me a room to stay in now would he. He was so kind before, what has brought this change? She stopped in her tracks when she finally noticed.

"Where in the worlds am I!?"

Kagome looked around the large hall she in. None of the doors looked the same to her…well actually they all looked the same but she wasn't in the same place she figured.

"Wonderful! I was so angered at Sesshoumaru I had to go and get myself lost. Kagome you need to learn how to control your anger."

Mental kicking herself, she sighed and decided she would just go and explore. Who knows? Maybe she will find her way back if she was lucky. While walking, Kagome took in all the sites she was seeing –pictures of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha when they were younger, others of the lord and lady of the lands. The ceiling which held beautiful emerald chandeliers and paintings of the heavens. - it was all a wonderful site to her.

"Lady Kagome? What are you doing here?"

Kagome turned and noticed Rin that was behind her. Instead of her side ponytail and the orange and yellow checkered kimono that she had before, Rin now had her hair straight down and a black kimono with a white obi.

"Oh…ano, I got lost while I was deep in thought."

"Really? That's not good." She giggled. "I don't think Lord Sesshoumaru would like it if you were wondering about."

"Care to help me out Rin? I would really appreciate it."

"Sure. Lets go over to the gardens!"

Rin grabbed Kagome's hand and ran. Kagome had a hard time keeping up with her with her long dress and all. They finally made it to the outside gardens. Oh my! This is spectacular! Flowers of every kind were there and plenty of trees as well. The grass was a lush green while the sun shined off of the dew. The smells were also just as great with the nose that Kagome had.

"I like to come here to relax sometimes. You might like it as well Lady Kagome."

"Rin, you don't need to address me that way. Just Kagome will be perfect."

Kagome smiled sweetly at her and she nodded. They both picked flowers and played around the open field for a while.

"Geez this kid has a lot of energy."

Kagome sat under a tree to rest. She watched as Rin ran around doing one thing and changing to another. She reminds so much of Shippo. Then it hit. Where IS Shippo? I didn't see him when I awoke.

"Hey Rin! Do you know where Shippo is?"

"Oh yeah! He is still inside. My room to be exact. Come on. I'll take you there."

Once back inside the castle, Rin broke out into a run again. She laughed gleefully.

"Catch me if you can Kagome!"

"Hey come back you!"

Kagome chased Rin throughout the hall. They finally made it to Rin's room when Kagome had caught her.

"Hey! No fair that you can run faster than me!"

"You should have thought about that before you challenged me."

They both laughed and walking into the room. Toys were mostly everywhere. Aside from that, a small bed was located in the corner under a window.

"Okaa-san I thought you would never awake!"

"Shippo you're alright! Sorry it took so long for me to get you. I was…busy."

"It's alright. I was playing with Rin and some toys the whole time."

The three of them stayed in the room a bit longer until Kaze-Kokoro came in.

"It's now time for dinner Lady Kagome. Miss Rin and Shippo must come along as well."

"Alright." The three said together.

They followed Kaze-Kokoro to the dinning room. When finally reached, Kagome noticed that Sesshoumaru was already there. Nothing fazes this guy does it? Oh well! She mentally shrugged and sat down in the seat two chairs away from him. They all ate oden as their meal. Shippo and Rin finished early and asked to be excused, leaving Kagome and Sesshoumaru alone. Should I apologize? I mean he didn't know why I left Inuyasha and I guess it would be okay if he knew.

"Ne Sesshoumaru?"

He didn't acknowledge her but she continued anyway.

"I want to apologize for before. You didn't know why I left and I really didn't have the right to accuse you. So basically I'm just trying to say-"

"It's alright."

"N-nani?"

"I shouldn't have asked such an intimate question. You had every right to be mad."

Kagome blinked and stared at Sesshoumaru. This is way past weird. Is Sesshoumaru apologizing to me? That's it! I'm going to get some answers now!

"That does it! Sesshoumaru, I just don't get it. Why are you acting this way? This is so not like you. I'm trying to get used to this new side of you but I just cant seem to hmpf!"

Sesshoumaru thought that now would be a perfect time to make her shut up. So he did that by…kissing her. (plz don't kill me!! ^_^ I'm sorry but I had to put this here. I'm cracking up at this very moment.) Wha-what in the world is he doing?!...He is a pretty good kisser. She leaned in the kiss but Sesshoumaru stopped.

"I already told you that I wanted to know you. Inside and out. Try to get used to it because you are going to have to deal with it for a while."

He left soon after he said that. Kagome stood there baffled. She couldn't move. All she did was blink and stare at the spot where he stood.

"This is so totally way past weird."

She walked back to her room, put on a sleeping kimono, and got into the bed.

"This is all just a freaked out dream."

She kept on telling herself that but didn't believe it. A small part of her didn't want it to be a dream. She wanted it to be real so she could finally experience love.

"Maybe Sesshoumaru could love me." She yawned. "Any thing is possible."

*blinks* Well…I uh…hope you like it?

Kc: I am also equally confused.

Me: I cant really say much. I freak myself out by making this chapter.

Kc: Um…plz review and don't flame us. It wasn't that short like we thought. It's two whole pages.

Me: Stay tuned for the next chapter. This is new but I will give you the title for it. Meeting again That's all you will know.

Kc and Me: Ja ne!
