Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
My dream was going fine till I rolled over and smacked into a rock. It all went down hill from there.
Sesshomaru shot up at my cry and tried to un-sheath his sword in the very small cave. This was responded by him hitting his hand on the roof of the shelter and letting out a yelp. I rolled over to ask if he was ok at the same time he did to ask me the same question. Needless to say, we both ended up on the floor cradling out heads.
That is about the time Kikyo and InuYasha found us. My sister sailed in and grabbed me around my waist, hugging me and laughing hysterically into my stomach.
"I thought you had died! Thank god you are ok!" She sat up and grabbed my shoulders before a frown marred her happy mood. "What happened to your shirt?"
My eyes flashed over to where I had thrown it last night when the cave had become stifling hot due to the humidity and our...activities. I could feel myself blushing.
"I had a...fever! And I needed to be cooled right away!" My voice came out squeaky and to quiet. They all looked over at me, even Sesshomaru wearing a look of annoyance.
"She was overheating so I did what had to be done." He said monotony and Kikyo just nodded, excepting what she believed was the truth. I quickly grabbed my yellow shirt and slid it over my body. I refused to blush at the thought of the two brothers seeing me so exposed.
"Well lets get out of this dingy little cave!" She laughed and made little shooing motions to InuYasha, who had taken up residence at the mouth of our little shelter.
We all shuffled out after her and Sesshomaru's finger brushed mine before tracing its way up to my elbow. I swatted it away before the other two noticed, I shot him a glare over my shoulder and he just smirked before leaning in, letting his breath brush over my lips.
"This will be fun." I could feel his mouth curl into a soft sneer. "You want to hide the fact you like me because, why?"
I snorted and planted my hands firmly on my hips and took one stop back, staring at him dead in the eye.
"I'm not hiding it, I just don't want my sister to find out- ok so I kinda sounds like I'm trying to hide it- you know what, stop it!" He smiled and I could feel my vulgar comments slipping out of my mind. He looked so much handsomer when he smiled.
"Don't get to worked up Princess." Sesshomaru muttered under his breath as he walked past me, heading over to Kikyo and InuYasha who were racing back to camp with their hands interlocked.
"I'm not worked up! And don't call me princess!" I yelled at his back but he just waved at me over his shoulders while calmly strolling along the beach.
I let out an angry huff and stomped after him. When I finally caught up, I crossed my arms over my chest and brooded till we got back to camp. The stewing meats smell had covered the whole campground and both of our stomachs started rumbling.
"I made food!" InuYasha said and blushed when Kikyo started explaining how hard he had worked to make it. We looked around and wanted to sigh at how much work we would have to put into fixing the camp, since the storm threw things around.
I scarfed down the food, broth and all, before excusing myself to clean up. I grabbed clean clothing and waddled into the waterfall. The boys looked at me like I had gone senile.
"I'm not exposing myself you pigs!" I splashed water at them and they both picked up there little chairs and the pot of stew before cairing it out the entranceway.
"We will be at the watchtower with the soup! Get clean!" InuYasha said with a spoon in his mouth, making his words sound jumbled. They walked out and I wasted no time throwing my soggy shirt at Kikyo.
She was facing toward the place the boys had just been so she didn't notice the flying clothing I had thrown at her. It made a loud smacking sound as it hit her head.
"You...You little...rascal!" I raised an eyebrow and sunk below the water so only my eyes could be seen. I bobbed my eyebrows up and down and she laughed before undoing her pant ties and shirt covers before taking a running jump into the water, trying to land on me.
We cleaned ourselves while giggling about nothing and whatnot. By the time the boys had screamed to let us now they were coming in, we had gotten clean clothing on and sat around the campfire with a bundle of berries we had planed on using to make tarts.
"Dessert, yes!" InuYasha yelled and planted a large kiss on Kikyo's left cheek. She blushed madly while mumbling about it being my idea to make them.
We had gathered the only fruit on the island that we had all deemed safe; the berries had a beautiful blue skin that was really pretty.
We finished them by the time we all wanted to settle down for bed. I blew the fire down and sat the metal sheet over the glowing coals, the low heat would slowly cook the desserts and make them taste all the better!
I stood up and grabbed a blanket from the pile on the two lovebirds nest. I curled up into a ball at the foot of Sesshomaru's hammock and shifted slightly when he slid in and his cold feet pressed between my shoulder blades. I elbowed his calf.
It was about halfway through the night when I felt Sesshomaru get up. I assumed he wanted to use the restroom or get a glass of water, but when he failed to return and snuggle his now warm toes to my back, I cracked an eye and looked around. I sat up and rubbed at my face.
Sesshomaru sat with his back to me, facing the fire. I shuffled over to him and sat down on the log next to him. His face was concentrated on the flames and i almost felt bad to ask him what was wrong. Almost.
"What is the matter?" I asked, watching the coals flicker and looking for whatever Sesshomarus was looking at.
"Did you know my father is known for his ability to wield three swords at the same time?" Only then did he look up to me, and his eyes seemed to be asking me a question. "They call him the Lord of the Seas."
"I don't see why your upset." I muttered, might as well be blunt.
"I need to make a name for myself, but what should it be?" I laughed silently, as not to wake the two people sleeping a few feet away. "I don't see how you find this situation humorous."
"I though your 'Identity' would be obvious, Sesshomaru, the Demon who kills with a Single Sword!" I whispered loudly and made lunge and parry movements. He chuckled.
"The Demon, I like that. It's scary and ferocious." He said and I could feel his eyes on me even though I was looking at my feet.
"And not just any demon either, a dog demon because your loyal to only your pack." I smirked and picked up a stick, drawing pictures in the dirt.
"Your a strange one, Kagome." He said and I smiled and looked up at him.
"I know!" I said and grabbed one of the cooling cakes. I split it in half and handed it to Sesshomaru. I licked the sweet filling off my fingers. The heat had turned the blue berries a light purple. I munched on our treats when inspiration struck.
I dipped my finger into my tart and drug it across the side of Sesshomaru's face. He went still beside me and let me finish my little art project before sighing and looking over at me.
"When we get off this island I thing we should get tattoos. I think you should get stripes." I muttered and quickly made another slash on the other side of his face.
"Are you done?" He looked annoyed, but in an amused sort of way. I nodded.
"I'll get the tattoos with you." He just smirked and nodded. I licked the left over filling off my finger.
"But they will have to be stripes too, because you know what they all say, behind all great male pirates there is a woman pirate who can kick his ass." He said when he finished his dessert and licked his fingers before wiping the filling onto his hands and eating that too.
We both walked back to bed and I welcomed his cold feet onto my warm back. I tried not to look to deep into this revelation.
