Chapter 25: GAH!!! KAGOME… WTF? Part one

Last time: "You reckon we're in trouble Rin?" Shippo asked her but Rin just gave him a blank look as if saying 'How should I know?' she just hoped Kagome was okay and didn't fall off a palace balcony…

Lady Nefertiti: As always…beast talking in bold and conscious in italics…and the fact that I don't own Inuyasha…

Enjoy reading!

"Jaken indeed." Sesshomaru thought a bit amused that Kagome would call him that. If it had been anyone else calling him that worthless name or even suggesting that notion they'd be dead before they even finished their sentence. But what made Kagome, a human so special? What was it about her that didn't make him want to hurt her or have her hurt by someone else? She was a human! a Miko at that too! And why was his bloody inner demon accepting that it wanted Kagome? This was lunacy! If Kagome hadn't gotten drunk in the first place than this never would've happened.

'Well nothing DID happen sherlock….' His conscious said rolling its eyes.

"Kagome I think it's best if we clean you up…." He said.

'We…he-he….' His beast said.

"EEEHH???? Jaken can I kiss tat moon o' your'z? hey no fair! I want a moon too!" Kagome said poking him and then looking at him with sparkling eyes.

'She wanted a moon too? Did she know what she was implying?'

Sesshomaru sighed. He wasn't a low-class demon to take advantage of her. He was just glad that the real Jaken wasn't here to hear this. And after this was done he had some children to discipline, even if it was a mistake. Boy was Kagome going to be embarrassed when she got sober and found out what she'd been up to. Come to think of it wasn't she supposed to be sober anytime soon? It wasn't a lot of Sake she drank….

-Shippo and Rin- (somewhere in the castle)

"Ah-choo!" Shippo sneezed.

"Ah-choo!" Rin sneezed. She looked at him and then said, "You think someone's talking or thinking about us?" Shippo looked at her and then knew that they'd have to run away from here and disappear otherwise Sesshomaru would poison them… 'Even if Kagome-mama does look funny drunk' he thought and then shook his head and cleared his throat.

"I don't know Rin."

-With Inuyasha- (in his room)

"Leave it to Kagome to throw-up all over me…" he said aloud to no one. He looked around and smirked. So his 'big brother' had assigned him to his 'old room' which still happened to be red and could possibly be the only red thing left in this castle. And by god! There was still a painting of a baby Inuyasha and his mother hanging on the wall. Perhaps that only painting Sesshomaru missed and hadn't burned….

He looked around in a wardrobe and picked out a red haori and black hakama's and headed towards the hotsprings. He peeled off his clothes and jumped into the springs, as undignified as ever. He hated bathes! But he couldn't stay smelly like this….After he got clean he'd go searching for Kagome and hoped that she wouldn't take long, knowing that Kagome loved baths…..

He hoped that Sango wouldn't take her time helping Kagome get clean…

-With Jaken- (somewhere in the castle)

"Why haven't the enemy attacked us yet?!" he yelled to no one. "I've go to inform Sesshomaru-sama right away that maybe the enemy are waiting for us to attack them first! Why would the enemy be courteous to us? Why…."

(BOOM!)

Katsu, one of the palace guards, one who couldn't take Jaken's ranting hit him with the hilt of his sword and then said, "I really can't stand that toad. Sesshomaru-sama needs a new servant." And the other one who was patrolling the hallways with Katsu nodded.

"Where does he get off saying that the enemy are attacking us? Doesn't he know that Lord Sesshomaru would know right away?"

-Sango and Miroku-

"No Houshi! I don't need assistance or help in any way in taking a bath!" With that she shut the door in his face. Then she opened the door and sighed, "And sorry for being so rude…" she kissed his cheek and then shut the door again.

Miroku just stood there frozen to the spot and touched his cheek. He had clearly been sent to heaven! His Sango had kissed him! He was one step closer into her being his woman! He turned around and then went on his way to his room and then later perhaps he'd go meditate.

-Back to Sesshomaru and Kagome-

He stepped out of his chambers for a second and scented that everyone was in their respected rooms and Shippo and Rin were running amok the castle, scared. 'Good they should be.' He thought. They needed to be disciplined, not punished. He couldn't punish Rin….and now Shippo. Gads he was going soft!

'Yes. Tell those pups that they can't ever do that to our mate again!' his beast said.

He saw one of the maids passing by and then said in his indifferent voice, "Mai." She whipped around and then bowed, she'd been shocked. Her lord had never addressed her before and by name too! She didn't even think he knew her name!

"Hai…Sesshomaru-sama?" she stuttered. He smirked. Leave it to his servant to be so scared of him.

"This Sesshomaru needs a kimono, a silk one for one of his guests." He said regally.

"Hai Sesshomaru-sama." And with that she ran off. She came back so quickly that one would think that she'd had it in her arms all along. But of course everyone knew that Sesshomaru didn't like to be kept waiting. Then she bowed and then ran off to do whatever she was assigned to do. Sesshomaru walked back towards his room and shut the door. He scooped up Kagome in his arms as Kagome squealed and 'wheee!!!' in her childish voice. He took her clothes off and then put her in the springs. Sighing he picked up her 'school-girl' clothes and burned them with his poison. She wouldn't need those anymore besides she wouldn't even notice they were gone.

"SESSMRU?" Kagome said. He turned around and then narrowed his eyes. Was she perhaps now sober? Why was she calling him by his proper name? Well as proper as it sounded anyway….she got the person right. Anyway, She….huh? Then he found himself being pulled into the springs, courtesy of Kagome.

"YAY!! NOW SESSMRU GETS CLEEN TOO!!!" Kagome exclaimed happily. Sesshomaru was too shocked to even muster a response, angry or not. Well at least he was dressed.

'but not for much longer…' his conscious said leering at Kagome's body. 'besides now that you're wet….you're clothes are practically see-through…you dumb-bell…..'

'This Sesshomaru will never resort to loving or even touching a human female!' he said inwardly. Kagome took this opportunity, while Sesshomaru seemed to be deep in thought, to trace circles on his wet chest.

"Stop.that.right.now…" Sesshomaru said trying to restrain himself from kissing her senseless. Kagome pouted and then turned away.

"BAHH!!! SESSHMRU Doesn't like me!!!" Then she accidentally, of course, kicked him 'there.'

"Kagome…" Sesshomaru growled and then he pulled her closer.

Lady Nefertiti: chapter 25! Please read and review everyone! The next chapter should be out sooner!

Inuyasha: Do I get to kick Sesshomaru to kingdom come next chapter? (looks hopeful)

Lady Nefertiti: I thought I GAVE you a script Inuyasha…

Inuyasha: (looking at Nefertiti sheepishly) "I kinda used it for the fire."

Lady Nefertiti: '………'
