Love and Ice
Chapter 10
Loves Bites!
GASP! I've updated again! It's been like a week since the last one dude! Well, turns out I'm not going to North Carolina! THANK YOU GLORIOUS GOD! Um, and my really bad cold.

It was around 10am or so when Kagome woke up. She shifted over to her stomach and looked out her window. Beams of bright yellow light peered through her open window. When she had run away from the school, she didn't want her family see her cry... she opened her window with a branch and just crawled in her bed. She didn't care if she fell asleep in her dress, in her make-up or in her shoes. She just conked out and let the cool breeze sooth her hurting heart and mind.
When she finally got the strength to sit up, she realized what time it was. She looked out her window and saw her mom sweeping the outside steps. She leaned out and called out to her, "Mama!"
The elder female Higurshi looked out, "Oh, Kagome!" she smiled sweetly and waved, "Good morning!"
"Mama!" she said in panicky attire, "it's 10! Why didn't you wake me up?!"
"Well, when I didn't hear you come home, I looked out and saw you weren't on the steps or anything. Then I heard a noise and went up to your bedroom, and saw you on your bed already asleep... I decided not to wake you, plus you were exhausted, it was nearly midnight when you came back."
She gasped, I stayed that long? She put her hand to her still smudged make-up, and saw mascara stains upon her pillow and cheek, I guess the dance was good for me, well, for one thing. "I made some breakfast downstairs!" called her mother, "I'll be at the store with Jii-chan! Take good care of the shrine!" With that, she put down her broom and walked up to the stairs to where grandpa was sitting, "Let's go hon."
----
Kagome sat in her kitchen, eating some fruit they bought at the market that no one else liked in her family. She munched on it and walked out to the very bright morning. It was already heating up, around 80 degrees or so. She decided that she shouldn't even go to school, so she wore only a simple white tee and light blue skirt.
She sighed, I've been away for two days, why do I feel so sad? Is because of Inuyasha? Is it because of my home beyond the well? She sat on a stone pillar and stared at her feet, no. It's not that, I know its not. Its because I love him…
Her lips formed a smile, wait why was she smiling?! Its because I love him…
"I love Inuyasha…"
She said aloud, not caring if anyone hard, but if she did, she'd be mortified.
But he heard it. Just like the night before, he heard it all. And now he had heard her say the words he so constantly wondered were true… and he was happy. His heart leapt and he just wanted to embrace her forever. Kagome loves me!
Kagome actually loves me!
Of course she does you idiot, she has ever since she set her pretty brown eyes on you!
But he wasn't listening to the little voice in his head; he was too overjoyed with the young girl sitting below him.
She walked back into her home. She wanted to go back to the feudal era, not to collect shards, not to see the taiyoukai who had a sudden interest in her, to see the wonderful hanyou she loved. And the hanyou was in the same mood to see her.
----
She walked out onto the soft, green grass beneath her feet. Its so good to be back, so good to see the sakura fields and cherry blossom trees…
"Neechan!"
Kagome turned to see little Rin running out of the bushes with her arms open ready for a hug. "Neechan! You're back!"
She hugged the little girl, "Yep!" was all she said. Rin took her hand and led her into the forest where she memorized where Sesshoumaru had camped. She told Kagome everything that happened while she was gone, which bored her a little, but she was happy to see Rin talking more.
Sesshouamaru smelt Kagome and Rin's scent walking toward him. He was still a shocked too hear she left, but what surprised him more was what Rin told him while she was gone.
----Flashback----
"Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"Yes, Rin?"
"Where is Kagome-neechan?"
"She has gone back to her family for a bit, Rin. She will return shortly."
"Oh,"
There was a silence between the three for a while, it was late and the sky was dark with stars all around.
"Uhm… Sesshoumaru-sama?" she sounded embarrassed and a little imtimitated.
He looked at her, "Yes, Rin?"
"Umm… Rin saw something that happened to Kagome-oneechan…"
His eyes squinted, "What did you see Rin?"
"Uhm…"
"...Rin?"
"You stupid girl! Answer Sesshoumaru-sama!!" that was Jaken, who got a pound on the head from Sesshoumaru.
"Go on Rin,"
"Well, remember a while back, when Kagome-oneechan went to stream to get some water to cook us a meal…?"
"Yes,"
"Well, after she left, Rin went to go find her and Rin saw something happen…"
"What was it?" he was started to get a little impatient, but seeing as Rin was just a little girl, he had to give her a little credit.
"Kagome-oneechan was getting water… When big wind came and out came a man, a man Sesshoumaru-sama! He had long black hair and brown tail! He called Kagome-oneechan by her first name and, how would she say… flirted with her?"
He nodded, this seems a little odd, but I don't think Kagome got hurt, or was near un-wanted mating so, why is this so hard?
"Well, Kagome didn't want him around, she even looked scared Sesshoumaru-sama!" that made his eyes bulge out, "But, a man with white hair and gold eyes came out of the forest…"
Now that just riled him, Inuyasha! Rin continued her story, just getting up to the part where Kagome sped into Inuyasha's arms.
"She cried Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin could tell! But man made her feel better! And then…" she stopped and looked at her feet.
"Then, what Rin?"
"Then…" she looked up to him and smiled the brightest smile she had, "Then he kissed her Sesshoumaru-sama! The man kissed her! On the mouth! It was so sweet!"
Sesshouamru didn't hear the rest of her story, even until the end, he only thought of what happened between Kagome and Inuyasha. They kissed! No, Inuyasha kissed her! She would know better than to kiss a taken man, especially if the mate is still alive! That… that… that BASTARD!
----End----
Kagome and Rin's steps got closer to the group. Jaken heard their footsteps and bombarred up to them, "Human! You have returned!"
"Hai!" she smiled sweetly, not caring if the toad still didn't like her, she looked at Sesshoumaru, "Hello, Sesshoumaru-sama! Did Rin bare well?"
He gave her the same, emotionless face, "Yes. All was well."
Jaken interuptted them, "We have kept your strange way of transportation is tact! It is over there!" he said, pointing over to a nearby tree, where her bike was leaning against it.
"Arigato, Jaken! Thank you!" she walked toward her bike and picked it up, "Hai! I am ready! Let's go on!"
Sesshoumaru stood up and started to walk eastward, away from his home. He decided to make one more trip around his lands, then he would decide if he should to his home or just stall. But he couldn't stall, why would he? The Sacred Jewel had shards probably all over Japan, and he couldn't just stall and wait 'til he came across ever single one. Finding the shards was her job, not HIS. So, why was it his problem?
Cause you got involved, you moron.
Wait just a darn minute! How did I get involved anyway?
Well, 1. You asked her to come with you, 2. You…
No I didn't! I took her in!
No! No! No!
Yes I did!
No!
Yes!
No!
Yes!
No!
Yes!
Do you like her?
Yes!
He stopped, did I just…?
Hah! You said it! You can't deny it! There's no escape! Admit it! Admit it!
I admit it?
He looked at her.
I can't deny it?
I like her?
You idiot! There's more!
----
He watched her come through the well again. Good, she's coming back… it'll be easier to talk to her. He realized a human child was coming toward Kagome, and heard faint yells for her. "Oh, Kagome! Kagome! Okaasan!"
Mother? Some kid is calling my Kagome mother? He stopped, ah! Why do I keep saying my Kagome?! She's not mine! Kikyou is mine! …Although, I wouldn't object to have Kagome to myself…
He saw a young girl with chocolate eyes run out from the forest, some of her hair was pulled into a ponytail. He saw her come and hug Kagome and pull her toward, what he thought, was probably Sesshoumaru's camp. That bastard better not try to do anything she doesn't want! He clenched his claws, if he does… I'll kill him. For sure…
He jumped toward them. He kept his footsteps light and kept his scent shallow, not wanting to let his half-brother find him so soon. He had to watch her for just a little longer, than he would leave.
His brother's image soon came into view, and he saw his stupid brother's squire run up to her and tell her something he didn't bother to decipher. She mumbled something and asked his brother something, but he gave her the same, emotionless face. He was glad that his brother was paying her no mind more than just a girl on a journey, who couldn't go back to people she needed more than anything to finish it. That nagged on him through every fiber of his being. He wanted to see her, to talk to her, to be near her, to kiss her…
He couldn't help but know that every piece of him wanted to kiss her. He knew it deep in his heart that he wanted to hug her, and deep down in the bottom pit of his soul, there was a new thought waiting to thought of…
…he wanted to love her…
