Hi my name is cyberkittten#13 and this is my story....
******************************************************************************
*Part 2*
How did I get in this mess?
How long had it been since that stupid stone cursed him here? Sesshoumaru glowered at this as he sat on top of a tall tree branch.
It was ironic how the fact that though he didn't mind owning his brother's sword he had never asked to have his brother's life, he grimaced at this as he closed his eyes.
Two days was it now? It felt like an eternity that he had been stuck in his hanyou brother's form.
Not to mention the stench of those stupid humans that followed him around, though the Kagome girl didn't smell like the others she had her own unique smell that reminded him of the calm breeze during spring time around his castle.
Cursing once again at the stone and his brother and cursing whatever gods had done this to him Sesshoumaru sat content to be far away from the group so that he could think over this ordeal, obviously it had been harder than what he imagined in the beginning, sometimes his brother's memories would come to him in a flash and other times they would come to him at very awkward times...like those of the human girl Kagome...
Sesshoumaru tried not to blush as he remembered the dream he had while sleeping near the human woman.
**
A full moon and stars fill the sky as he is content to be sitting on top of a hill as pink flower blossoms float by him, content and not alone. Beside him is Kagome rapped in a beautiful Kimono both of them are sitting and laughing with each other conversing merrily . He than gets up the courage to tell her that he loves her and wants to protect her always. There is silence between the two until she kisses him sweetly and they stay in that embrace for awhile.
**
After that dream he had refused to even go in 10 meters of Kagome mumbling something about needing time alone. The monk and youkai hunter seemed to buy it but he wasn't sure about the human girl she seemed silent and removed when he told them in his best masked face why he was leaving.
Could it possibly be that she new something was different? Of coarse not she was like the rest of them believing him to be his brother, but wasn't she supposed to be the reincarnation of a miko? Didn't she sense these kind of things?
Sesshoumaru frowned inwardly at the thought, if she was suspicious of him he would have to act more like his brother would, something that made his stomach lurch at the thought of having to act the ignorant fool to appease his doubts on the miko's senses.
Another thing that bothered him was the way he reacted when being with her, he seemed to have mixed feelings all the time it wasn't like him at all, he was always calm and business like around other youkai even sometimes with Rin, but never had he had the chance to meet a young human woman being a great youkai lord and all so words never did come to him, especially when she would pry him with questions on their next mission for shards, or if there was any sign of Naraku close by. It didn't help either when the one called Miroku would nudge him and wink ever time he was close to her, Sesshoumaru wondered if his brother had ever seriously considered commiting homicide on a certain houshi.
Sesshoumaru shook his head in disarray at how things were turning out for him, but where would self-pity lead him too? Though he would never admit it to anyone or anything that dream he had stirred the most turmoil out of him, though he decided to blame it on his stupid half-youkai body, it still made him ponder deeply.
Was it just Inu-yasha's memory or was it truly his dream that he had, had?
"Ku, Ku, Ku..."
Naraku stood near by the tree where Sesshoumaru sat a sarcastic grin reaching his cold features.
He had been watching Inu-yasha's party for awhile now waiting for a chance to strike when Sesshomaru had decided to fight the half-youkai for that sword.
Naraku felt evil glee when they fought if the two could kill each other off there would be no stopping him from reaching the human girl. But now that glee was heightened when both entered the others bodies, he doubted they even knew others could sense who they really were.
With Sesshoumaru in the body of his half-brother things would become very interesting indeed, since he does not care for the humans Naraku could maybe make a compromise of sorts.
Cackling to himself Naraku swooped down with his baboon costume as he came close enough to Sesshoumaru that the half-youkai could sense him.
He watched as the figure stiffened.
"What do you want Naraku?" Came an annoyed voice.
"To make a deal with you."
Sesshoumaru raised his brow becoming more annoyed with what the evil villain had to say, he had enough problems as it was.
"I don't make deals with you're kind." He snarled trying to do what he thought was a good Inu-yasha impression.
"Oh, but I think you'd like this deal Sesshoumaru or should I say 'you're lord' Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru's features looked bored. "So you know, what of it?"
Naraku was surprised he had hoped to shock the cold youkai lord into consideration.
"Haven't you thought of using this to you're advantage? With you're skill and you're brother's sword you could easily kill him and his comrades."
Fool
Sesshoumaru thought.
If only it could be that easy
Owning the sword was what he had truly wanted from his brother, but the thought of having to slaughter the girl..irked him.
Why are you listening to him? It would be better if you found your own way to gaining the sword from Inu-yasha.
Naraku watched him intently waiting for his reply.
"Leave me, I need not you're help to obtain my brother's sword I will find my own way."
Naraku's face was stone as he began to creep away from the once youkai lord, but not before he rebutted him.
"You will come to regret that answer, yes indeed, the human you've become so interested in should watch herself..."
Sesshoumaru growled, so he knew of his feelings for the girl? What of it?
A sinking feeling filled Sesshoumaru as he dreaded what would happen next that would turn his already twisted life upside down.
Naraku laughed wickedly as he left the confused demon for his hidden castle.
Things were becoming very interesting, very interesting indeed.
******************************************************************************
Inu-yasha fell into a heap of sore bones as he sighed in pain.
Who knew how painful being a youkai lord of the west lands could be?
All this preparation and work to keep this stupid castle sustained and elegant was just too much for him to handle. The servants always needed to be ordered around, and this had to be worked on and so and so from the south was coming cover, not to mention the fact that the paper work was just unbearable!
The worst of it though was the toad following him around everywhere he went, Inu-yasha wondered how Sesshoumaru could put up with the annoying toad following him around all the time, though while he was young Inu-yasha was told that Jaken was the servant of Sesshoumaru's birth mother, other than this reason Inu-yasha couldn't think of anything else for keeping the vile toad around.
Sighing deeply Inu-yasha began to wonder where the young girl had gone too.
What was her name again? Rin was it? She too could be annoying sometimes always asking questions about everything and everyone around her. She could be trouble too but she was a bright little girl, though she did carry many bruises on her, at first he had suspected his brother, but later on Inu-yasha noticed the way Jaken expressed jealousy whenever he would pay attention to Rin. Thoughts of Jaken hurting the innocent young girl disturbed Inu-yasha greatly, he would have to teach the toad a lesson.
How did his brother have the patients? Oh well best not to ask, Inu-yasha decided.
Using his new found senses Inu-yasha wandered outside of his castle into the forest, but still no sign of her.
Becoming worried for the little girl Inu-yasha began to call her name, yet no answer.
More distressed than before he tried once more.
"INU-YASHA-SAMA!"
Finding her scent again, he arrived right in time to watch as a large snake demon tightly squeezed the life out of his Rin.
Growling Inu-yasha unshed Toukijin his brother's sword.
The large snake demon looked frightened when it saw Inu-yasha and the angry expression on his face.
"Forgivenesssss please O great lord Inu-yasha I did not know the girl wassss yoursssss."
Letting the tiny girl go the snake demon began slithering away only to shrink back as the expression on it's captor hardened.
"Feh, I'm no idiot snake any one could have smelled me on the girl, but you fool snake have made a fatal mistake."
With one swoop the snake was no more, as being cut into tiny pieces can do that to you.
When seeing Rin lying pale on the ground his anger subsided to worry for her unmoving body.
Gathering the small bundle in his arms Inu-yasha decided he would have to teach a very long lesson to Jaken on what happens when little toads don't take care of their master's little girl's.
A warm breeze passed by and Inu-yasha began to remember.
A young girl tending to his wounds, offering him food he refusing her offer.
The same young girl now only bruised and killed by Kouga's wolves.
Using the Tenseiga to bring her back.
Pondering at why now he was having this memory, Inu-yasha gave it up, there was no way he would ever come to understand this curse on him, no way he would ever see Kagome again either.
If their ever was an answer to why Sesshoumaru was Sesshoumaru Inu-yasha would have jumped to it, but that was impossible, what he did for Rin would only be understood by him and him alone.
Miserable Inu-yasha changed his thoughts to that of the wolves who had killed Rin, how could Kouga let them ravage villages like that was unseen by him.
Feh, another hard nut to crack, that lunatic is just impossible as Sesshoumaru.
Inu-yasha chuckled to himself as he began to walk back to his brother's castle cursing Kouga all the way back.
******************************************************************************
Somewhere in Inu-yasha's forest Kouga began to have a sneezing fit. He found himself on the ground and clutching himself as he sneezed.
Strange..He thought, I'm not or nothin but I've never sneezed like this before.
Panting behind him his two comrades sat beside him trying to catch their breath.
Breathing the hardest the one with the patch over his eye spoke.
"Kouga*gasp* please tell us*gasp* why we are in Sesshoumaru's territory?"
Leaning himself on a rock Kouga looked up to the sky.
"Where going to give ol' dog-turd a visit Tekkou and then were going to see Kagome.."
Kouga seemed to have a far off look in his eye when he said her name.
The other wolf youkai looked shocked.
"But Kouga what about Sesshoumaru, I don't think he'd like you going near her."
In a daze Kouga looked strangely at him.
"Hmmmmm, owe Chiri that dumb mutt can't stop me Kagome's my woman and I'm going to prove it to him by taking him on once and for all!"
With this in mind Kouga chased after the scent of Kagome leaving a trail of smoke behind for his poor friends to follow as they tried to keep up with him.
******************************************************************************
That's all folks!
Next chapter
*Let's All Jump Through The Well*
hmmm two weeks have passed by and Kagome's on her period and becomes angry with Sess-chan for saying she smells. Telling him not to follow her he follows her any way into the well and it seems so does Kouga as well!
Naraku is lurking in the shadows the whole time.
See ya and R&R
