Chapter 11: Love in in the air part 1 (Sango and Sanji's tale)
Last time: Sesshomaru wasn't about to take everything and everyone away from him. Personally he'd never admit it out loud but he liked having demons in his employ, most of them his slaves who'd do his bidding at his beck and call. And why shouldn't he have the best of the best? Kagome did not belong in the arms of a vile and evil demon lord. She should be his and with her miko powers maybe they'd be powerful enough to finally overthrow the damn demon lord and take over the western lands.
After all, he was the most powerful and influential Daimyo of the Feudal era...
Lady Nefertiti: enjoy reading everyone.
-Kagome and Sesshomaru- (study)
"You owe me my mate and I saw the look you threw your friend Sango and Sanji. I hope that you aren't getting ideas of how to put them together." Sesshomaru said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Kagome said innocently and giggled as Sesshoamru tickled her stomach. "Hey wanna know where else I'm ticklish?" Kagome said.
"Do tell." Sesshomaru said but before Kagome got a chance to open her mouth they heard a loud BOOM!! and both sighed. They'd never get any alone time would they? Well as Sesshomaru's duty as being a 'lord' he had to go and see what the chaos was so he reluctently got up and told Kagome that they'd continue this later, earning a blush from Kagome (cause she was still sitting on his (ahem) desk.) Kagome was a little more than pissed that she wasn't getting any alone time with her Sesshy...what to do...
Sesshomaru turned a corner and was prepered to kill whatever had caused this mess...perhaps he and Kagome could get some alone time if they weren't at home...like going to his ' private cave'...just a thought.
But really, what could have caused this...this...
"WHAT did this Jaken tell everyone?! We are indeed being attacked! but NOOO...no one wants to listen to this Jaken!" Jaken yelled at the incompetent guards. "Milord! Milord!" Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched as the thought occured to him that if it was Jaken's fault then he was going to kill him, no questions or explanations asked. Well anyway...
"Jaken." Sesshomaru said coldly as he observed the chaos. Why must everyone decide to destroy and disturb the peace of his castle and now too?
-Miroku-
He-he...he was going to follow the pair as he watched them walk away. How dare his lovely lady Sango, no...how could she decide to spend time with that vile and nasty demon? He would not take his lovely Sango away from him! cursed demon of the netherworld!! He had to make sure that this nasty demon didn't do anything bad to her.
-Insert creeping, following music- (da-dum-da-dum-da-dumm-da-dum-da-dummm...)
-Sango and Sanji-
"So how is it that you first pick out your guards Sanji? I mean what are you really looking for? Stamina? Courage? The fact that they can survive all the training and do it properly too?" Sango asked him. She was still a little nervous, being in a palace with surrounded by demon guards, and could she call this time she was spending with Sanji a date? Kagome had told her what 'dates' were and no they weren't food. and not to mention Sanji was so totally gorgeous! She wanted to squeal like a schoolgirl...it was like geez Sango calm down!
(A/N: see author's note at end)
Sure she'd spent time with Miroku (on their travels) but those weren't dates, they were on a mission and that was to find the shards, besides Sango didn't think of Miroku that way anyways. She smiled sadly to herself, he was a good guy but he wasn't just for her. She was looking for danger...erm...dangerous men maybe? Besides wasn't there a girl they'd met on their travels who wanted to bear Miroku a son? and was hell bent on doing it too? They'd left her in a village to be taken care of maybe she'd be good for him. 'Oh mom...Dad...what would you say if I told you that I liked a demon? Would you be shamed of me?' Sango thought staring at the ceiling now like she was staring at the heavens asking them, expecting an answer.
"Yes. That and many other things as well." Sanji said looking over at her odd look. "We also make sure that they're not enemies or just doing it to get close enough to kill the Royal court...make sure their intentions are honorable so that's why we have a couple of assassins who watch them...like a trial period..."
Sango sweatdropped and gulped. Right...Assassin's...heh-heh...
"Oh but not to worry. They won't do anything to you. You are one of Sesshomaru-sama's honored guests and Kagome-sama's friends, there's not a person/demon in the world that could harm you." he said. 'And I won't let anyone.' he thought grimly. Both arrived on the grounds where all the rookies were as they all gave Sango a questioning look. They knew she was the last demon-slayer (she had quite the reputation) and all wondered what she was doing among their ranks. Thinking of ways to Trying to kill them? No doubt. Sango took a deep breath and knew that the only way to earn their respect and their confidence was to be firm and yet kind with them. It was really a shame that demons and humans hated each other. They were really kind of the same 'minus the powers and the poison claws...' Sango thought giggling inwardly. Marriage/mating, having kids, living, dying (etc). Boy would Sesshomaru love to hear that... 'Sesshomaru you're just as ordinary as a human.' ha-ha...she amused herself sometimes.
"Is there a problem?" She asked them firmly. The demons shook their heads. Death wasn't on thier wish list. It wasn't their place to question thier superiors...perhaps this was Sanji-san's girlfriend? yup something was strange about the western lands, demon lord taking on human miko mate, demon guard taking a human demon slayer as a girlfriend...
Sanji looked among them with a frown on his face. Ryou survived Sesshomaru-sama's wrath. The boy was as lucky as hell that Sesshomaru had such a kind mate. "Seeing that most of you have looks of confused and worry looks on your faces..." Sanji started. Ryou shuffled his feet sighing. Why didn't anyone like him. Perhaps because they were still wary of him.
-Rin and Shippo-
"Are you sure that what we did was okay Rin?" Shipo asked her still a bit uncertain that what they were doing was okay. After that Boom! was heard and both heard the running of footsteps and confusion of others everywhere. Both him and Rin were running for their lives to find a place to hide. At least for right now anyway.
"Are you a man or a mouse Shippo!! You are helping me okay? Whether you want to or not!" Rin said/asked angrily.
"I think that being royal, rich and important is going to her head." Shippo muttered and followed her.
-Hojo- (500 years away-the future)
Dammit! Why didn't anyone know where Kagome was? her friends didn't know and Kagome's mother seemed to be keeping it all hush-hush and it was irritating him to no end. Suddenly a thought came to him and he thought the next best place to search was the Library in the history section. He remembered one day that he was coming over to Kagome's house with an ailment he overheard Kagome sigh something about that 'Inuyasha being such a jerk all the time...' and 'Why if he lived in this time I'd never even turn my head...'
Time...
and Hojo made his way over to the Library.
-Miroku- (who was stalking Sango and Sanji)
Well nothing happened betweeen the pair yet. All he had to do was stick a couple of sutra's to that 'vile demon' or use his wind tunnel and he'd be gone. Both were laughing about something Sango said and Miroku saw her blush then. 'GRR...he's taking away my woman!' Miroku thought.
Sanji had felt his aura a long time ago but didn't say anything about it. Why was that monk following them? If he had any thoughts to take Sango from him he had another thing coming. Sango had told him brief tales of their travels and how he groped her all the time...so dishonorable...He should've been killed a long time ago.
"So tell me Sango-sama..." Sanji began.
"You can call me Sango." she said smiling at him. Miroku frowned. My but weren't they getting familiar...
"Do you know anything about sparring with swords Sango?" Sanji asked her and she shook her head no.
"Well then I guess I'm going to have to teach/train you too..." he said softly smiling down at her.
Lady Nefertiti: ooh...we've got some tension...what's going to happen between Miroku and Sanji and what is Kagome planning to do to Sesshomaru because he ditched her?
please read and review!
'Dates:' (for those who don't know dates are:) A 100 gram portion of fresh dates is a premium source of vitamin and supplies 230 kcal of energy. Since dates contain relatively little water, they do not become much more concentrated upon drying, although the vitamin C is lost in the process. Dates ripen in four stages, which are known throughout the world by their Arabic language names kimri (unripe), khalal (full-size, crunchy), rutab (ripe, soft), tamr (ripe, sun-dried).
By the way...try some...they're very yummy! (grin)
