Sheer Luck

Sesshoumaru stared at the blank air before him, his eyes wide. * What happened? *

His mind in shock, he stood there, thinking, or at least trying to. * Shimatta! I can't

believe what I just did! I pushed the thing that matters to me the most on this retched

earth away with my own hand. I have to find her! * With that, he dashed out the door

to find Kagome.

********************************************************************

The rain began to pour. You would've thought that a GIANT thing took an equally large bucket that never empties, and dumped it on the world. Even with Inu-Yasha's yokai sense of sight and hearing, it was hard to make out something-even 3 feet from him. Forget smelling! He couldn't even smell himself, and he was right there! Inu-Yasha stopped in a cave nearby to wait out the storm.

********************************************************************

Kagome wandered around, hoping to find shelter. * Jeez, less than a week and already I lost all that really matters to me. One dies, and the other doesn't really return the feelings. Life is wonderful, isn't it? * Suddenly, she spotted a cave. The only reason she was able to tell what it was was because that she saw a very, very faint glow. She moved as fast as her worn legs would allow.

*********************************************************************

Sesshoumaru was his full demon self, so that he wouldn't run into any lower yokai. It would just cause a holdup in his search for Kagome, which he couldn't afford.

The rain greatly reduced his senses, which he had depended on to find her. Finally, he

changed into his "human demon" form so that he could seek shelter till the blasted rain

ceased.

*********************************************************************

Inu-Yasha was drying himself off, when he heard a noise. * Who in their right

mind would be out here right now? * He hid in the shadows waiting. What he saw made

his heart leap.

**********************************************************************

Kagome saw the fire once she got in, and hoped whoever was here wouldn't mind

her being there too. " Ano, if anyone's here, and you don't want me to be here, please tell

Me now before I get too comfortable." As no one answered, she assumed that they were either gone, or that they didn't mind. She began to carefully dry her hair, when she got a very nasty chill. This didn't even half rival the one that she had when a low voice said,

"Kagome."

Sooooooooo, did you like it?
