Hey guys. Thanks for the outstanding reviews. Here ya go. Really short chapter ahead! Lots of fluff, though!
What's This?
Sesshoumaru for the first time in ages, showed emotion on his face. His eyes became wide, and probably the first time ever, he was speechless. (That's somewhat of a pun.)
This miko, does she not fear me? Doesn't she know that I can rip her to shreds if she ever did something like this? Don't you know that you love every minute of this? This Sesshoumaru will not answer that. Your lips answer it all. Sesshoumaru thought, struggling with his inner demon.
Kagome pulled away from him slowly, with her hand still planted on his chest, where it had been when she started. One look at his expression, and her face took on a bright shade of red. What had she done? Was it merely an impulse that caused her to what she did? Or was it something else?
Taking one step back from him, her face became a dark red now. "I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that, Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru seemed to finally gain his composure back. "Yes miko, you shouldn't have. And I am not just Sesshoumaru, I am Lord Sesshoumaru."
Kagome forced a smile. "Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru." She replied, icily. "I'll be going to bed now. Have a good night." She said, starting to walk away and back towards the camp.
That is, until she felt an arm snake its way around her waist, and she gasped. Who's grabbing me like this? Does Sesshoumaru not see this person? She asked herself, panicking until she felt a certain aura.
"Sesshoumaru..."
"Meaning, you shouldn't have done that, without Lord Sesshoumaru's permission."
Kagome's eyes widened. Is this Sesshoumaru's way of saying he wants me to kiss him or something? Is he just toying with me? She thought, turning around in his grasp. She now faced him, and her cheeks took on a pretty shade of pink.
"I-I," She stuttered, and Sesshoumaru raised a silver brow. Does she fear me now? All of a sudden?
Should I do this? I've got nothing to loose, except maybe my dignity. She thought, as her eyes made direct contact with his amber ones. Laying one of her small hands on his chest like before, she kept her eyes on his.
When did I become like this? What's the word? Sprung! Kagome thought, as she opened her mouth to speak. "L-Lord Sesshoumaru, m-may I kiss you?" That Lord thing has seriously got to go, I think I'll die of embarresmant if I have to keep calling him that.
Sesshoumaru's hold around her waist tightened. And she was suddenly yanked even closer, if that were possible. "You may."
Kagome timidly reached up and while one hand stayed on his chest, another on his shoulder, to steady herself. Her lips hovered inches above his, briefly, before gluing themselves together. Kagome practically shook as she kissed the icy Taiyoukai. From pure nervouseness. She wasn't exactly a veteran at this kind of thing. Especially with someone as intimidating as Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru could sense the miko's nervouseness, radiating off of her in waves. He felt the urge to calm her, and stop her worrying. He did so, when he made a growl like noise from his chest. Kagome was instantly calmed, as she reached one hand up to put in the Taiyoukai's long silver tresses.
Kagome relaxed even more, when Sesshoumaru growled in a pleasurable way. Into her mouth, that is. She had to resist the strong urge to giggle at that time. Taking one hand off his chest, the other off his shoulder, she wrapped both arms around his neck, so she could toy with his hair a little more as they 'made-out'.
I'm enjoying this so much, it's ridiculous. Kagome thought, as she arched her back and moaned. To think, all this happened while they were standing up.
Sesshoumaru was enjoying himself as well, but you would just barely be able to tell by his facial expression. The furrowed brows, the half-open eyelids, and he not too mention, he was kissing her!
Before she enjoyed herself a little too much, Kagome pulled away from him with a pleasured shudder. Sesshoumaru stared at her, before taking his arm from around her waist, and speaking.
"Miko, you should-
"It's Kagome."
"Miko, you should rest now." He said, walking away from her and back to the hill/cliff thingy he was standing on.
Kagome sighed as she laid down next to Rin. But nonetheless, a goofy smile crossed her face as she did.
"Your time?" Sesshoumaru questioned, as he sat against a tree with Rin behind him playing with his fur, and Kagome in front of him balancing herself on her heels.
"Yes. I'm from a time much different than yours. And I go back often, because I have to keep up with my studies and gather supplies." Kagome said.
"Miko, you want this Sesshoumaru to allow you to go back?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Yeah."
"For how long?"
Kagome shrugged. "Three days? Four?"
Sesshoumaru stared at her before answering. He sighed. "Fine. You may go."
Rin giggled. "Lord Sesshoumaru, Kagome-chan is going on a trip?"
"I suppose."
Kagome turned to walk away from them, but then turned back around. "Um, Sesshoumaru?"
"Lord Sesshoumaru."
"Right, Lord Sesshoumaru, would it be alright if I took Ah-Un? I cant walk all the way back to Kaede's village." Kagome said, fiddling with a strand of her raven hair.
Sesshoumaru sent her his infamous bored look, and looked out into nowhere. "Do as you see fit, miko."
Kagome nodded, as she grabbed Ah-Un's reigns, and climbed on. "When will he start calling me Kagome?" She mumbled to herself, as Ah-Un took off into the sky.
"Bye, Kagome-chan!" Rin yelled, waving at the retreating figures of Ah-Un and Kagome.
Ah-Un landed a couple of feet from the well, and Kagome hopped off. She had to be quick. She couldn't bear to see him and have to talk to him, not now. What if she was with him?
She prepared herself to break off into a sprint towards the well, until something launched at her back, causing her to fall down.
"Agh!" She yelled, as she hit the ground with an audible THUMP.
"Kagome! You've come back to us!" Shippo yelled, getting off her back and bouncing around her head instead.
Kagome rolled on her back and chuckled. "Hello to you too, Shippo. How are you?"
"I'm great, now that you're here! Have you come to travel with us again?!"
Kagome disregarded the question as she smiled at the young fox kit. "How is everyone? Has anything changed?"
"Everyone's fine, I guess. Miroku is still a lecher, Sango is still beating him for being a lecher, I want pocky, and Inuyasha's all mopey."
Kagome frowned and sat up at the mention of Inuyasha. "Mopey?"
Shippo nodded. "Yeah, since you left us, he's been all mopey and isolated. Like when Tetsusiaga got broke."
Kagome quirked a brow. "Isn't Kikyou traveling with you guys or something? He might be mopey because of the lack of shards."
Shippo blinked. "Kikyou? We haven't seen her since you left."
Kagome nodded and stood up. "Interesting." She mumbled under her breath, as she walked more towards the well.
"Kagome! Will you bring me back some pocky?"
Kagome giggled, as she put her leg over the lip of the well. "Sure thing. As long as you don't tell Inuyasha I was here!"
"Will do!"
She heard Shippo yell, before she jumped into the time slip.
Kagome entered her home and kicked off her boots. "Tadaima!" She yelled, tiredly.
Kagome's mother entered the front room and smiled at her daughter. "Kagome, you were gone for quite a while this time. Anything new?"
Kagome smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I'm taking a break from Inuyasha and the gang, you could say. I'm traveling with a group of new friends." If you count feeling betrayed because he loves Kikyou, sure, that's a break.
Mrs. Higurashi nodded. "Well, you go take a nap or something, or are you hungry?"
"I'm fine, mom. I'm just gonna go study a little bit, I'll be so lost in school tomorrow." Kagome said.
"I see. Did one of your new friends give you that outfit?"
Kagome smiled. "Yeah. My uniform got messed up, so they gave me this. I'm gonna go upstairs now and..."
"Oh, wait! Kagome, I have something for you."
Kagome watched curiously as her mother went into a hall closet, and came back with an outfit.
"This is the priestess garb you brought home when you first started traveling with Inuyasha. I made a few alterations to it."
Kagome sweatdropped. "A few? Mom, you turned into a modern day outfit, practically." She said, taking in the full change of what used to be a miko's garb. The hakama of the outfit, had somehow been turned into a red version of her school uniform skirt. The haori was cut and the sleeves were a little less poofy, and had been turned into a short-sleeved shirt. Except, it still had the miko garb haori look to it.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "What do you think? Like it?"
"I like it, I'll wear it back. I'm gonna go study now, mom." She said, walking up the stairs.
Kagome sat at her desk, in her room. With a loud groan, she let her head hit the table and the algebra book fell to the floor.
"I so don't get this!" She yelled, in irritation. School would be a killer, tomorrow.
Kagome stood up from the desk and sighed. She walked over to her bed and plopped down on it. "I'll be able to think better when I'm less sleep-deprived." She thought, rolling over on her side and falling into a dreamless sleep.
"Kagome, hon, it'll be alright!" Eri said, patting the back of her sobbing friend.
Kagome sobbed even harder on the table. "Wah! I'm gonna have to repeat the tenth grade again! For being an idiot!"
Ayumi offered a small smile. "You are not an idiot. You just missed a lot. I don't think you'll have to repeat the grade, I just think you'll need summer school."
Kagome sobbed harder, if that were possible. "That's hardly any better!"
Yuka sighed. "Kagome, you probably didn't even do that bad!"
"I had to guess on every question!"
"You could've got them right!"
"He gave me detention when he saw the turnout! Detention!"
All three friends sweatdropped. "Kagome, people are staring..." Eri said.
Ayumi took a napkin out of the dispenser. "Here, dry your eyes." She said, handing it to Kagome.
Kagome nodded as she did so and hiccuped a bit. Her entire day was horrible. She woke up late, barely made it to school on time, with bed hair, mind you. She had no idea there would be a test in math today, and she couldn't be excused from it. Hojo kept bothering her about medicines, and she forgot her small purse so she didn't have money to spend at WacDonalds! Ayumi had to pay for her!
"Poor you." Yuka said.
Kagome nodded as she grabbed her backpack and slid out of the booth. "Yeah, poor me. Guys I'm gonna go home now. See ya later." She said, walking out of the restaurant .
All three girls sighed as she left. "Poor Kagome."
Kagome entered her home, and was heading for the stairs when her mother stopped her.
"Kagome! How was school today?"
Kagome sighed. "I don't even want to talk about it."
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "Well, tomorrow's another day!" She said, walking back into the kitchen.
Kagome sweatdropped and sighed as she headed up the stairs.
THUMP
Is what she heard on her way. Quickly, she bounded up the rest of the steps and opened her bedroom door.
What she saw, made her utter only one phrase.
"Oh Hell."
Cliffy? Who knows. Review, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'What Was Once Yours' Entitled: How Much I Love You. Can you guess what it's about? I can!
Question Of The Day: If you say no to this, you're either a guy, an ass, or normal. Would you have liked to be in Kagome's place with Sesshy?
With that said, Sayonara!
