Chapter 14: It hurts to remember.

…

Sesshomaru leads Icis back to the village both followed by an unhappy InuYasha who watches Icis closely. "Why don't you train your pup Sesshomaru?"

"This Sesshomaru will be doing such." Sesshomaru says softly looking to Icis who doesn't even look at him her eyes remaining on the forest around her sadly. "Icis." Sesshomaru calls and Icis snaps to attention looking to him curiously, "Yes?"

"What is so interesting?"

"Nothing." Icis says quietly her eyes turning to the road before them uninterested but Sesshomaru glances in the direction she was looking and sees a male youkai watching her in return.

"A male? That is what caught your interest?"

"No." Icis says her cheeks going pink at the accusation and InuYasha 'feh's making Icis glance to him.

"So much like a girl, daydreaming about boys." Icis's cheeks darken and she pouts upset, "I was not daydreaming about some smelly brat male!" Icis snarls out annoyed.

"You probably want to go meet him behind a tree and do a quick rut right?" InuYasha says making Icis look to him glaring with death in her eyes.

"I-."

"Leave my pup alone mutt." Sesshomaru says coldly but InuYasha looks to Sesshomaru seeing anger.

"Has she rutted any males?" InuYasha asks but is suddenly facing Icis who stares into his eyes lifelessly, "Keep your mouth shut, why does it concern you? Do you have an interest in my sex life?" Icis asks softly her lips curling into an evil smirk.

"Why would I have an interest in your love life? You're just a brat anyway!" InuYasha yells being the one whose cheeks go red this time with embarrassment.

"You're a male, you only think about rutting women and eating." Icis says mockingly then walks away giggling amused when InuYasha's blush deepens with what she said.

The others were surprised to say the least when InuYasha was following after Icis giving a flustered argument. Sesshomaru was following slowly after a smirk on his face as he watches the two silently.

"Boys aren't at all like you say! We don't just think of stuff like that!" Icis gives InuYasha a bemused look then looks to Sesshomaru, "And you are related to him?"

"What is that supposed to mean?" InuYasha yells angrily grabbing Icis by the ear making her yank away giving a displeased growl.

"Watch your place hanyou." Sesshomaru warns and gets glared at by InuYasha huffily, "Tell your brat to mind her own business and take back what she said."

"I am not his brat." Icis informs seriously, "You are a brat." InuYasha says making Icis turn to him then her arm moves making InuYasha flinch but she only pushes him out of her way walking passed him.

Stopping in front of the group Icis looks at Kagome coldly making the human fidget nervously, "You wish for my training?" Icis asks coldly and Kagome nods weakly looking frightened by Icis. "What kind?" Icis inquires none to nicely.

"Um, well, I wanted to learn how to fight better…" Kagome says quietly making Icis look her over wondering what in her right mind possessed her to do such a thing.

"You do understand I can hurt you without meaning to right?" Icis asks curiously seeing Kagome brighten and nod happily, "Okay, what do you need help with?" Kagome smiles widely and throws her arms around Icis excitedly, "Thank you!" Kagome yells then freezes realizing what she had done the others watching wide-eyed for what Icis will do.

"I'm sorry!" Kagome cries snatching herself away from Icis only seeing amusement in the female's eyes at her actions, "You act as if I will kill you." Icis says amused her fangs showing brightly in her smirk making all shudder with the darkness she possesses.

"I guess…you're not like you're father then…" Kagome says sheepishly looking to Sesshomaru his face a bit tighter than usual then looks to Icis seeing confusion. "Did I say something wrong?" Kagome asks looking between the two confused but Icis only shakes her head, "I won't kill you but I will get you back during training…just a warning." Icis says a wicked smirk covering her lips and Kagome sweat drops groaning, "You are Sesshomaru's kid, you even have those scary, dark eyes!" Icis only laughs amused being looked at by the humans appalled their eyes nearly popping from their heads.

Later that night after Icis had fought with Kagome she sits beside the river listening to the humans talking amongst one another. Sesshomaru sits at Icis's side suddenly making her look to him briefly then go back to playing with the fish in the river. "This Sesshomaru was surprised you did not correct the miko." Sesshomaru says watching Icis who only looks at him with a small smile, "I was tempted but I did not know if you would want me to so I held my tongue." Icis says softly then turns back to the river, "This Sesshomaru is very pleased with your actions."

"Thank you." Icis says happily then her attention turn to Kagome as she approaches shyly.

"Um, Icis-sama…I was wondering if I could brush your hair." Sesshomaru saw a vein pop in Icis's jaw when the human asked that question but awaited her answer.

"Why do you want to do that?" Icis asks confused by the question.

"Because it looks really pretty." Icis just gives a look and Kagome plops down at her rear and grabs the band in Icis's hair pulling making Icis's eyes widen fractionally making Sesshomaru smirk. A curtain of hair flows down Icis's back like black satin framing her face accentuating her eyes and lips sensually.

"Kagome-."

"I'll put it back up, I promise." Icis sighs but turns her face to stare out at the river while Kagome brushes and pets her hair excitedly. "Wow…I wish my hair looked like this." Kagome says.

Icis was relaxing into Kagome's touch when suddenly pictures race through her mind of her with a younger child who was jumping on a bed and she was brushing their hair gently. Kagome felt Icis tense and stops what she was doing sensing stress in Icis's aura and races to Icis's front.
