Chapter 11

The Need to get Away and the Need for Love.

The next couple days was spent with Kagome going completly crazy with bordom! She couldn't talk so she couldn't even tell everyone who made sure she stayed in her room at all times in bed as nicely as possible, to fuck off and let her do something! Anything! But as she woke up on the third day and streatched with a big yawn she noticed that not only did it not hurt near as much as it used to, but she was alone in the room. It was probually time for breakfast, Shoji usually took Shippo to eat and she was forced to wait there for her own to get there.

Not today! Quickly she hopped out of bed and made her way to her wardrobe where she quickly changed into a nice simple kimono, it was green and blue, mostly blue with green leaves falling down it and gathering at the bottom and around the openings of the sleaves. Okay, maybe it wasen't super simple, but it was the simplest in the bunch.

Once dressed she made her way to the door, opening it only enough to peek her head out and look down both ends of the hall and couldn't help but smile at the fact that there was no one. Everyone seemed to be busy or eating so she quickly stepped out, shutting the door behind her and quietly made her way down the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~In the dining room~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was again rather quiet, the only talking coming from Shippo and Rin, but even they was shushed, it would seem everyone there had gotten used to Kagome coming in and talking to everyone and her group at least seemed to still be worried that if they so much a breathed to hard Sesshomaru would rip their heads off. And he had to say, he didn't care, let them think what they wanted, it just gave him more quiet time, or at least it would if his beast would just shut up. Every since that night that he had watched over Kagome, he couldn't get it to just leave him be, and didn't know what it's probblem was!

And as if that wasen't enough as the door opened he looked over to see the woman who was the cause of it all, followed by her personal servent. "Lady Kagome, you should be in your room, your breakfast is already in there." She said to her and then noticed that she had followed her right into the dining room and bowwed to him and everyone else. "I'm sorry my lord, she left her room before I got there." She told him, expecting to be punished but instead they was all a little suprised when they heard a hoarse voice speak up.

"I'm tired of being in there, and if I have to eat more broth I'll be sick!" She pouted crossing her arms ovver her chest. And Sesshomaru almost smiled, almost. Now this was more like her! Defiant and active. "Your dissmissed." Sesshomaru said and the servent quickly got up and hurried out of the room and as soon as the door was closed again he waved to the only free seat to his right and watched as she smiled and walked over and took a seat.

"Kagome, you should still be resting." Came the voice of Shoji and he just watched as she glared at him, effectivly shutting him up to look at her friends who just shrugged their shoulders. But his attention was completly on her and he thought of the fact that he should just get rid of her as his beast started to become more active, wanting him to act on something he didn't really understand.

But he really couldn't just kick her out with no place to go, and he did have more things he needed answered. He had been thinking on it for the past couple days, and he not only wanted her gone so his beast would shut up, but to get Shoji away from her. He simply chalked that up to the fact his idea had been a bad one and if they got to close he could loose his head guard to a filthy human. "I'm glad you're feeling better miko, we need to discuss your living arrangments." He told her simply, looking back to his meal so he wouldn't have to see the look on her face, though he could still smell the worry on her.

Shoji was ready to jump up and demand what he meant by that, he could also smell the worry on her and didn't blame her, she had no place to go and with Inuyasha out there no place but here was safe. "I'm not really hungry, so we can talk as soon as you're done." She told him and he looked to her, her head was down and had a look on her face that he hated to see on her, he wanted his miko to be happy.

Kagome didn't really know what this was about but she wouldn't blame him for wanting her to leave, after all, she was sure she had over stayed her welcome, even if he had said she could stay while she and Shippo trained he had the right to chang his mind, so as he stood she did as well and followed him out, but she did notice that Shoji was right behind her. And as they made it to the study she took a seat and Shoji stayed near the door as Sesshomaru took his place on the other side of the desk.

He was silent for awhile, fighting with his beast over what he was doing. He would show his inner beast that he was the one in control, not it. "Miko, I understand that I told you that you could stay here while training, but some things have come to my attention and I feel that it might be best if the training was postponed. I've contacted a shrine and the miko there agreed that she would train you with your spirtral powers, I even have a place near there where you can stay. Once you are able to better use your powers, then we will figure out about the rest of your training." He told her and watched her, she looked crushed and he clearly heard the growl that came from Shoji.

But she quickly hid her feeling about this with a smile. "Thank you Lord Sesshomaru. I will train hard so that your work to make this happen isen't in vain... I'll go and get my things ready." She said quickly before standing and leaving, closing the door behing her without her little fox demon shaddow behind her.

Shoji waited till he knew she wouldn't hear anything before he let another, louder growl come from him as his eyes narrowed on his freind. "Why would you do that? You know just as well as I do that there is no reason she would have to leave." He told him, he wanted to just cut him down right now.

"You mean besides the fact that she keeps my hands tied when it comes to you?" He asked and he had no idea what he was talking about so he sighed and started to explain it. "Your job was to protect her from people who would get to close to her and try to mate her, and yet you are doing just that, getting to close to her. I can't even get you to go and do other things without having to smell your disspleasue of having to do something else other then play with that filthy human miko." He said coldly and didn't finch when Shoji growled at him again.

"Your dissmissed, go and say goodbye to the miko." He stated before directing his attention to a scroll and pretending to read it. It wasen't until Shoji left, slamming the door behind him did he let his mask drop with a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. what was he doing? Why should he care that Shoji seemed to be close to the girl, he had wanted that at first after all, but the closer they got, the more his own beast raged and tried to break out of its cage to get what it wanted. It was just to bad what it wanted was her, and there was no way he was going to follow in his fathers foot steps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kagome's Room~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome had just finished packing her last items when the door opened and before she could even turn to look at who it was the door closed and a hand on her shoulder turned her around and pulled her into a hard chest. She could feel him press his nose to the top of her head and breath in deeply. He had been getting more and more bold and she couldn't say that she didn't like it really. She needed to be comforted right now. He let out a sigh, tickling the top of her head when he did and though she couldn't see him she just knew that his eyes was closed. She just wrapped her arms around him as well.

"I'm going with you and giving my possition to someone else." He told her in a husky voice that sent chills down her spine and only made him hold her a little tighter. Why would he quit just to go with her to train, was he that worried about her. Something told her that wasen't the whole reason, that he knew something she didn't but she still shook her head.

"No, I'll be fine, really. I'll go and do my training and I'll see you again soon. After all, he said my training would be postponed, not Shippo's. You still have to train him." She told him, trying to reasure him of something she wasen't even sure of. "Besides, I'm sure Lord Sesshomaru has a good reas..."

She was cut off when he growled. "He dosen't." He said in clipped tones. He hated this, how dare he try and take her away from him. He didn't have a problem with her, just that he was getting close to her and that was none of his busness. If he didn't know better he would belive his inner beast right when it felt like Sesshomaru wanted her for himself. But Sesshomaru hated humans, all but little Rin and from what he was told Rin was the only reason he had even helped Kagome, and she was still here because of her information about her time.

She pulled away from him, but becuase he wasen't ready to let her go she only got far enough to look up at him with a little smile and those shining blue eyes. "Shoji..." Her voice was no more then a little whisper and he knew what she was going to say before she even did. She was going to tell him it was okay again and that she would be fine. He didn't want to hear that though, so without even a little thought he suddenly found his lips crushed to hers with one hand behind her head in her hair to hold her there, and he knew right away that it was a little to hard but he couldn't help himself as he closed his eyes.

Kagome was more then a little suprised when he gave her the second kiss in only a few days. It wasen't really gentle like it had been the first time, it was rough and needy. And as he started to move his lips she found herself doing the same and kissing him back as her own eyes closed. The growl he let out rumbbled though his chest under her hands where they rested on it and she felt dizzy. So as his tounge ran along her lips she gasped, giving him his way in and he took it. His tounge darted in and right away started to explore her mouth.

His grip on her tightened even more on the back of her head and his other hand found its way to the small of her back and pressed her against him. He just coulden't control himself anymore, she tasted just like she smelled and so much more. And as a spicy sent wafted up to his nose he let out another growl and nipped at her lower lip before moving to the side of her mouth and starting to trail kisses down her jaw and to her neck. "Shoji..." She sounded raspy and breathless and again a growl was pulled from him. It was like there was nothing else in the world and he wanted her right then and there. If he made her his right now he would have to ether go with her, or she would have to stay.

"Shoji... Stop." She said and he froze. Her sent told him that she wanted him, even the way she spoke told him that. But it was then that he noticed that she had been pushing him to try and get him to stop. He lifted his head to look at her and could even see the lust in her hazy blue eyes, but there was also a worry there. He gave her a little reasuring smile. He needed her, he and his beast was both in agreeance of this.

"Kagome." He said as he looked down into her eyes. "I need you." He said and his head dipped back down to her neck where he started kissing her again and pulling her against him, only pausing in his kisses to whisper huskly in her ear. "Please, I can't just let you go..." He was begging her to just let him take her, he would mate her right there and march into Sesshomaru's office and demand that he let his new mate stay, or he would quit. But she continued to push at him.

"Sho, your a sweet guy, but I'm just not that type of girl, I've only known you for a few days." She tried to explain to him and get away from him so that he and she could both actually think right without the lust effecting them. But it was clear he wasen't going to give up that easy as he held her to him tighter and along with his kisses started to nip at her neck every so often saying something to her like, 'please', 'I need you', and how he would take care of her and how he would never hurt her. And she belived him, but she just wasen't ready for this, and had she known that it wasen't just sex he wanted, but to actually mate her, and what it meant to mate with a demon, she would have been fighting him even more then what she already was.

Nether of then had heard the door slide open so Sesshomaru got a good show of what was going on, at first he had been infuriated at both of them, but as he realized that she was gently trying to calm him down and telling him no, that turned to him just being plain discusted at Shoji. He smelled no intent to harm her, or take her without her wanting it, but he was trying his best to get her to accept him. A loud growl left him as he spoke up. "The miko told you no, act like the man you are, not the animal." That got him to stop, but not to let her go. He only held her to him and looked to Sesshomaru and he saw the fash of red eyes before they faded to normal. And as Kagome pat his chest he looked to her and seemed to see just how uncomfortable she was for the first time and reluctantly let her go.

Kagome coulden't take the blush off her face, she was so uncomfortable with what he had been doing and trying to do, and it only changed to embarassment when Sesshomaru had caught them... Or had he saved her? She was so confused and light headed right now. "I'm sorry Kagome..." She looked back to Shoji and almost felt bad for telling him no, the poor guy looked like he was scared to death she would hate him for trying so hard to get her. So she gave him a smile and a quick hug. "I'll see you later." She promissed him before picking up her bag and heading towards Sesshomaru. As she walked by him and into the hall he turned aswell and placed a hand on her shoulder to lead her.

Shoji could only watch and hate Sesshomaru a little more. He was taking her away from him, and he had stopped him from convencing her to be his. As they got farther away he growled in anger and knew that Sesshomaru had heard him. With a sigh all he could do was let his legs give out and sit on her bed. The room smelled like her and probually would for quite a long time. He didn't know when he would get to see her again, but he would see her again, even if Sesshomaru didn't know about it.

AN:

Hmm, Sesshomaru is not taking his feeling very well, and so is trying to be distructive and punish Shoji becuase he's actually accepting the feeling. It's not a verry good thing for freinds to fight over a girl, this story just got even more drama filled.

Well, Be sure to review and let know know what you think!
