Chapter 10: Her Heart

Last time: "It's good news to know you aren't his woman..." Sesshomaru said in a teasing voice. Kagome blinked, he remembered that?! Something between them sparked......and they felt it.

Lady Nefertiti: I'm so happy that people like reading this fic, surprisingly. If you all knew where this idea originated from....and anyway, enjoy reading chapter 10.

-Kagome-

Her heart fluttered with some unknown emotion. What was Sesshomaru doing? Teasing her like she was his...his...his...and even then he never teased anyone! Was he experiencing brain failure? maybe his assassin side was a cover-up and he was really a warm, fuzzball demon? 'Ha Kagome, girl you are going to get yourself killed if you ask him that....' she thought. But even then he never did say things like that to Rin or Jaken....oh wait...never mind who would say things like that to a toad like creature?

Did he? Could he actually want her for a mate?! No that was thinking to hard. But why would he say things....say something like that to her?! Normal people DID NOT go around saying things like that if they didn't have an underlying meaning to it! right?!

-Flashback-

"It's good news to know you aren't his woman..."

-End Flashback-

Sesshomaru you're such a gorgeous JERK! Why?!' Kagome thought angrily fisting her hands. She wanted to....She wanted to....on impulse of course....Kiss him. Right on the mouth and didn't care if he killed her. She'd die happy. She gritted her teeth and then shifted her feet in contemplation. It would be dangerous, right in front of her friends too but it'd be worth it, at least for her. She'd probably have to sit Inuyasha but really she didn't want to hurt him anymore. A hanyou's injuries took longer to heal and that's why they were headed to Sesshomaru's castle.

'Can't you wait to jump the guy at his palace? Where you can corner him in a dark corridor then kiss him and do whatever you want to him?' her conscious said.

Uhm No.....

GAD! She was going to have a heart attack right now! Hey did Sesshomaru know the Heimlich Manouver? Mouth to mouth baby! and she didn't even have to do any effort! It'd be his fault and then Inuyasha would attack him, Miroku would have that hentai smirk of his and Sango would just shake her head (because she knew that Sesshomaru would never kill Kagome anymore).

Okay, Okay deep breaths 1....2....3....She was just going to keep her distance from him until the Palace. Maybe she'd ride on Kir......Oh HELL!!! Bad images.....she violently shook her head and then Sesshomaru had to give her a concerned look.

"Kagome. Are you well?" Sesshomaru said softly.

"I can gladly help! I know just the right touch!" Miroku said happily.

Everyone glared at him, Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red and he said, "I'd best keep my distance from Kagome from now on Monk."

"I'm just fine! Let's go to your palace now Sesshomaru-sama!" Kagome said happily like nothing was wrong and started moving back towards Sango, away from her problem, that western lord, Sesshomaru.

"You know you can call me Sesshomaru." he whispered as he grabbed her by the back of her shirt. "And I'd prefer if you'd walk by my side instead of behind me like a servant."

"Eh-heh...." Kagome stuttered, face flaming red. 'Help!' she inwardly said. She was falling. Falling fast.....in love. She knew that once she fell there would be no other male that would hold her heart.

-Sango-

She smiled happily and walked behind the both of them. It was like a sappy love story or book and so romantic. When would the dirty things begin then? At the palace? In the dark in a forest when no one was looking? Boy the monk was rubbing off on her wasn't he? Maybe it was time for her to speak her mind too and then tell him what was in her heart. Her monk. Her Miroku.

"Oi! What the two of you up front muttering about?" Inuyasha said.

"Oh Inuyasha." Kagome said snapping out of her daze. "Nothing important really. So umm...is everyone ready to travel west?" They all nodded and then the group packed up and headed to the western domain.

-The Walk west-

She was in deep thought, a finger under her chin which amused Sesshomaru because he had pulled her out of the way of a tree, not even noticing that it was going to hit her like it hit Inuyasha. But of course this was Kagome, he had strange feelings for her and wanted them out of the way. He had to deal with this and deal with this his way.

-With Kagome-

'I'm so happy and impressed that Sesshomaru considers himself powerful enough that he doesn't need useless shards to make him better. Normally demons and humans alike are influenced, so bent on the jewels tainted will to make them better that they'd kill for it. I admire him. How could I not see it before?'

She could always search the shards with Sesshomaru. Why hadn't she thought of that one before? She enjoyed his company and it had many more benefits for her too. Alone with him, plenty of make-out time, as well as other things. She wouldn't even be two-timing Inuyasha because he'd know of their relationship....oh wait she had to come up with a relationship first. No matter. She was the Shikon Miko! She could do anything! even woo a demon lor....Huh?

Kagome felt the presence of two shards. Great. Just when the going was getting good with her. If it was Kouga then Kagome had a plan and Kouga wasn't going to like it. "Sesshomaru...." Kagome began uncertainly as she watched Sesshomaru and Inuyasha exchange glances, both looking equally angry, both flexing their claws.

Well she was certain about one thing though......both Taisho brother's thought along the same lines when it came to what was theirs.......

Lady Nefertiti: Please read and review!
