Ahh.Chapter three. I'm having some problems formatting (as you can probably
tell) When I upload a document, all the formatting screws up. Anyone have
any tricks? Oh yea, when I say kits, I mean babies/young 'uns (^.^) But I
should perhaps say kit and pup, or whatever.
I don't own Inuyasha, so don't sue me! *Randomly falls asleep* Wha?
Kagome trudged behind the two kits, pondering several questions. Would she ever find Sesshoumaru? What would happen if she did? What if Naraku found her first? Kagome knew the answer to that question. She was pretty confident that she would be able to protect herself and the two kits from Naraku. And she was also very confident that he wouldn't come in the first place. He seemed to be...afraid of her. He hadn't attacked her and Inuyasha in at least two years. Despite their efforts to find him, Inuyasha and Kagome couldn't seem to locate him.
Kagome sighed. It wasn't worth her time to ponder such futile questions. She averted her eyes from the path ahead of her to her daughter. Sesshoumaru's daughter
~Flashback (continued)~
Kagome followed behind Sesshoumaru, watching his silver hair sway back and forth as he walked. She tried to think of something to say, but nothing came to her. This uncomfortable silence continued until the sun set and it became too chilly for Kagome to bear...Not to mention the fact that she was starving.
"Sesshoumaru?"
He turned his head slightly, but continued walking.
"Can we please stop? It's really cold and I'm hungry."
He muttered something that sounded something like "stupid weak humans," but he stopped at the next clearing and sat on a log. Kagome tried to make a fire with sticks, but she failed miserably many times before she decided to try something different. She placed her hand on a stick and closed her eyes, concentrating all her energy through her hand and on to the stick. She felt the stick getting warmer and warmer and, just as she thought that she couldn't bear it anymore, it burst into flames. Kagome dropped the stick and cradled her hand, which had been burnt by the flames. She looked at the stick then back at her hand. Had she done that?
Sesshoumaru stared at the girl. This "weak" normal girl had just made a stick burst in flames before his eyes. She couldn't be normal. He moved over to Kagome and took her hand in his own. He observed it carefully, and not until he was fully convinced that it was not burnt did he look up. Kagome felt his eyes on her and hesitantly brought her own to his.
"What?" She asked nervously, very aware of his close proximity to her.
"You smell."
Her eyebrows furrowed and she wrenched her hand from his grip. "I can't believe you. Stupid dog demons are all alike." She spat.
"Stupid girl, I merely mean that you reek of Inuyasha."
"Well! Its not like I can help it. I HAVE been traveling with him, now have I?"
"Well, bathe then."
Kagome glared at him before turning in the other direction and taking off her backpack. Crouching over it, she pulled out shampoo, soap, a towel, and lotion, then turned back around to face Sesshoumaru.
"I'm only bathing because I feel dirty...not because you told me to, I'll have you know. I don't appreciate being ordered around, either." With that she tossed her head and headed off in search of a spring.
Sesshoumaru silently pondered the strange human girl. She was certainly unlike any other human girl that he had ever encountered. He could see why Inuyasha allowed her to hang around with him all the time. But were they not romantically involved? He had not seen a mark on her neck. So she hadn't mated with him...she was still available. She would be a perfect match for him. Sesshoumaru caught himself thinking such things and averted to another track of mind. Why was she so different than any other human girl? He had always wondered why she wore such strange clothes and talked in such a strange manner.
Sesshoumaru was surprised when she came back. Had the time slipped past him so quickly?
He watched her as she took out a strange cup and disappeared when she came back, he saw that she had filled it with water. She placed it by the fire and took out another, even stranger, cup. When the water in the first cup was boiling, she opened the strange paper lid of the other halfway and poured in the boiling water. She closed the paper lid again and set it aside.
Kagome felt Sesshoumaru's gaze on her again. She looked at him.
"What now?"
"What is that you are making?"
"Ramen." She answered. "It's from my time."
"Your...time?"
"Yeah...Don't you know? I'm from the future, sort of."
"Who rules the lands in the future? Which demon?"
"Well, there aren't any demons in the future, well, none that I know of. If there are, they keep themselves in secretion."
Kagome stood up, grabbing the cup of Ramen and a pair of chopsticks that were in her bag. She ate it silence, as Sesshoumaru asked her nothing else about her time. Should she have told him about it in the first place?
After completing the Ramen, she stood up and brushed off her skirt. Rubbing her face, she walked to her bag, which was on the other side of the fire. As she stepped, her foot caught in a twig and she began to fall. Her hands flew out in front of her and stopped her face from ramming into the ground, but her hands had not landed in the cool grass, they landed in a much hotter place. She quickly retracted her hands from the fire and scrambled away from the fire, cradling her hand. Kagome squeezed her eyes shut and tears began leaking out of them.
Suddenly she opened her eyes as Sesshoumaru took her hand. She watched him examine her hand warily. Then he looked up.
Those eyes... "Why do you not have a mark on your neck?" He asked.
Kagome stared at him for a moment before gracefully responding: "huh?" (^.^)
"Is Inuyasha not your mate?" Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome turned red.
"No way! I mean...he's in love with Kikyou, not me." Kagome eyed Sesshoumaru, who was still holding her hand. What was he getting at?
Sesshoumaru reached up and swiped the tears off her face. Kagome's eyes widened as he leaned in to kiss her...
~End Flashback~
"Kagome, can we rest?" Shippou prodded.
"Oh. Of course we can." Kagome said as she looked at the sky. It was getting slightly dark out. And they still had...Kagome checked her watch...5 hours left before Inuyasha woke up. "But not too long." She added. "We need to get as far away from the village as we can. We should be getting to the Western Lands before nightfall tomorrow." Kagome inwardly cursed herself for slipping and hoped that Shippou wouldn't notice.
"The Western lands? Isn't that where Sesshoumaru lives? What if he finds us in his lands?" Shippou asked worriedly.
"Oh, I'm sure we can protect ourselves from him." She covered cheerfully.
"I don't know Kagome...He's pretty strong-"
"Oh, you two should bathe while you have the chance!" Kagome interrupted. "Go on, you two can bathe now. See, there's a spring right there!" Kagome pointed and watched the two jump into the cold water. She wiped the perspiration off her head and let out a big gust of air. Nightfall tomorrow. Would she find him there?
A/N: Okay then.welly welly welly.what did you think? I'm hoping to have an encounter with Sesshoumaru in the next chapter...once I get done with these damn flashbacks! Anyway, stick around, because there is a significant reason that Sesshoumaru left Kagome...I'm sure you're all just ITCHING to find out! So Review please!
