Let Your Heart Speak

A small tug interrupted Kagome's wallowing in grief.

"Kagome-nee-chan... daijoubu ka?" asked the innocent Rin.

With a heart-wrenching sigh, Kagome turned towards the girl and her eyes bulged out of their sockets. She fell back, only to land against Sesshoumaru's muscular chest. She turned around slowly and almost fainted. The poor traumatized girl collapsed to the ground and looked up at the dog demon and the girl that clung to his side.

"A-Ano? What are you two doing here? You're not supposed to be in this world!" she screamed in complete denial.

Ch. 3 - Guests at the Higurashi Residence

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sesshoumaru mentally winced at the decibels the girl's voice reached. He rolled his eyes and spoke passively,

"Then let us go back, wench."

Kagome opened her mouth to respond but paused hesitantly.

"Uh... I don't really know how to unseal the well..." she muttered embarrassingly.

There was an inevitable tic that popped up in Sesshoumaru's eye but he still responded smoothly.

"And why not?"

Kagome rubbed the back of her neck and choked out a laugh.

"I dunno... it was a spur of the moment kind of thing, I guess."

The dog demon glared at the girl and she stared back fearfully. The vibes that were released frightened even Rin. Suddenly, they were interrupted by a loud cough.

"Ahem. Kagome-chan, who are these two guests?"

The mentioned girl quickly pivoted to her left to see her mother that was curiously looking at the two people while Souta stood behind her, peering beyond his mother's leg to see the same group.

"A-Ano.. E-Eto.. This is Sesshoumaru and Rin. They're friends of mine from Sengoku Jidai."

A snort came from Sesshoumaru and he said,

"Friends? I'm your enemy you fool."

Kagome glared at him and growled. Her mother then clapped happily.

"Okay! We have two guests so I'll go make some more food!"

She hopped back to her house and began making more food. Rin and Souta sweat-dropped slightly at her enthusiasm. Souta then went to Rin and invited her to some games. She agreed and they rushed like tornadoes into the house. Now.. that left Kagome and Sesshoumaru. She looked at him and nodded her head.

"Okay. We're going to have to go get some clothes for you. My little brother's won't fit you nor will my grandpa's so I guess I must buy some. Tomorrow we'll go shopping for clothes and you will wear those instead of.. that."

He narrowed his eyes and inquired,

"What's wrong with my clothes wench?"

"Well, they're kind of out of date... by a couple centuries." she replied. "Anyway, you can't kill anyone here nor will you eat anything gross."

"I'm a demon, not a barbarian." said Sesshoumaru.

"Sure, Mr. I-Poked-Out-My-Brother's-Eye-With-My-Finger."

"Half-brother." he interrupted her with.

Kagome rolled her eyes and continued.

"Whatever. Don't kill anyone, don't hurt anyone, don't do anything magical, and we're going to have to hide those stripes on your face."

Sesshoumaru snorted and replied,

"And why do you expect that I'm actually going to listen to you?"

Kagome looked thoughtful for a second and said,

"If you get in trouble, Rin will have to stay with us and you really don't want that to happen do you?"

"You evil wench." he bit out.

"No, I'm just telling you the truth. You love Rin as much as I love Souta. It's a sibling thing that you and Inuyasha obviously didn't have."

There was a gap of silence and Sesshoumaru stated rather than asked.

"You still love him, don't you."

A slap echoed in the distance as Kagome covered her mouth, holding in her choked sobs and leaving the demon lord with a shadow of a bruise forming on his face.

What's his problem? He's so mean just like... Inuyasha... Kagome stopped at the side of her house and leaned against the cold wall as she lowered herself and brought her knees up to her chin. It's my fault. I said I would stay by his side even if he chose Kikyo... but deep in my heart, I hoped that he would grow to like me with each battle, each find of a shard, each moment together... IT ISN'T FAIR!

What's her problem? That wench has personalities that are more opposite than day and night. One moment angry, another sad, and another... sweet. He mentally slapped himself. Sweet? That'll be when there's a green moon... What the hell am I supposed to do? This world is foreign to me and I can't leave because of Rin... Shit.

Sesshoumaru walked to the house reluctantly and picked of the scent of the ocean. No wait, it was tears. He silently strolled to the girl that was huddled by the wall.

~Dudunk~ The demon lord suddenly felt a pang and clutched the material where the pain originated. The girl didn't even notice his presence, she could have been dead already if he wanted. She was asleep. What an idiot.

~Dudunk~ That damn pain again. Then, in some sympathetic moment he had, he pulled the outer layer of his clothing off and dropped it on Kagome. He turned to leave but that pain jumped back. Rolling his eyes, he turned back around and picked up the girl gently, taking her inside to the warmth and love.

That's it for this chapter! Dum dum dum DUM!!!! heehee please review! Ja Ne!
