AN: Um . . . wow that was a close voting. But in the end after many
recounts and emails the winner is Sess/Kag!!!
Sess/Kag: 13 votes
Nar/Kag: 12 votes
Inu/Kag 6 votes
But because the Naraku/Kagome votes were soooo close, I'm gonna agree to make a Nar/Kag fic when I finish one of the two fics I'm working on right now. So please give me ideas for a Nar/Kag fic if you wanna see it in the future.
Ok on with the fic.
CH: 3 Changing Hands
"Um...Naraku?" Kagome was incredibly nervous seeing at how close he was to her. He was leaning closer and Kagome turned her head just in time so that his lips came in contact with her cheek rather than her mouth. Her eyes were brimming with tears. 'No I can't cry. Not in front of him.'
Naraku realized that his advance had obviously been rejected. 'Stupid girl. Did she lie? Does she still love the stupid hanyou? I guess I'll just have to kill him, then I'll get what I want.' Naraku grabbed Kagome's chin so that she faced him. He then crushed his lips to hers, holding her still so that she couldn't turn away.
The kiss was interrupted as the wall across from them literally exploded open. Naraku let go of Kagome and she covered her head and ducked as splinters of wood went flying everywhere. Naraku stood and stared at the figure that was standing across from him when the dust cleared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The scent was getting stronger. 'I'm close.' Sesshoumaru could see a small mansion in view. Using his finely tuned senses he could tell which room Naraku was in. 'Well, better make a good entrance.' With that decided Sesshoumaru used his whip and destroyed the wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The dust cleared and Kagome looked to see who was there. 'Sesshoumaru? This is just great. Was there some evil youkai convention and some forgot to tell me.' Kagome got and up and scrambled to the far corner.
Naraku sneered when he saw the demon lord. 'That girl must be affecting me more than I noticed for me not to sense he was near.' "You really know how to ruin a moment. So, what brings you to one of my humble homes, Sesshoumaru?"
"I've come to kill you." With that said, Sesshoumaru lunged at Naraku with his incredible speed. He slammed Naraku into the back wall and stood in the middle of the room looking down on him. "Hmph, I would have thought you would be more of a challenge." Sesshoumaru raised his claws dripping with poison and lunged again. This time Naraku was waiting and erected a barrier that sent Sesshoumaru flying back.
Sesshoumaru got up in time to dodge Naraku who had jumped him. Instead he used his tail to wrap around Naraku and throw him outside through the lack of wall. Naraku knew when he was outmatched and decided that this would be a good time to take his leave. "This is not over Sesshoumaru." Then he turned his attention to the girl huddled in the corner. "Don't worry my dear I shall return for you." With that said he let loose his miasma and by the time it cleared he was gone.
"Coward. Makes even hanyous look bad." Then Sesshouamru turned around and approached the girl in the corner. He stood before her and looked down at her terrified form. For some reason he actually felt bad for the girl. 'What am I thinking? She is just another worthless human.' Kagome looked up to see the demon lord standing before her.
"Arigatou, Sesshoumaru-sama."
"What are you talking about girl? If I did not plan to use you to get the Tetsusaiga you would be dead now."
"I would rather be dead than back in that situation." Kagome stated as she stood up.
'This human is very strange.' Sesshoumaru picked Kagome and was surprised to see that she weighed almost nothing. 'No wonder my brother never seemed bothered by having to carry her around.' Sesshoumaru smelled Inu Yasha and his group approaching and decided it was time to leave. He took off into the forest to return to his companions.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"I let you guys have your rest, can't you move any faster." Inu Yasha ran in front of his companions seeing the mansion ahead.
"We're doing our best Inu Yasha" Miroku yelled at the hanyou as he gasped for breath. Finally they stood in front of a mansion with a giant hole in the wall. "Where's Kagome?"
Inu Yasha sniffed around. "She was here and so was Naraku and ... Sesshoumaru." Inu Yasha snarled. "I can't smell where Naraku went, but seems like Sesshoumaru and Kagome went that ...that way." Inu Yasha stood pointing.
"Why do you think Sesshoumaru took Kagome?" Sango asked after catching her breath.
"Why else? They probably want Tetsusaiga." Miroku answered as Inu Yasha growled.
"You had better give up your sword for Kagome." Shippou whined. "I don't want Kagome to get hurt."
"She won't." Inu Yasha and the gang went in the direction that Sesshoumaru had taken. 'I don't know if I can give up the Tetsusaiga, but I know I can't let Sesshoumaru hurt Kagome.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome was falling asleep in Sesshoumaru's arms. 'So soft.' Kagome began to cuddle into Sesshoumaru's tail.
Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl in his arms. 'What is wrong with this girl? No one has ever dared to do that.'
'But it feels good doesn't it.'
'No, it's annoying.'
'No one's around you don't have to act like the heartless demon lord.'
'Someone is always around.'
'Can't you just feel for once? You took in Rin, maybe this girl could teach you more about the heart.'
Sesshoumaru stopped and studied the girl. Her hair was tousled and she looked as if she had cried earlier, but she still looked beautiful. 'Wait did I just think that? Stupid human girl.'
'Just admit it you like her.'
'I do not have any feeling for this human. I could kill her now.' He started his journey again.
'Then why haven't you killed her already, and don't blame it on the Tetsusaiga. You have had multiple chances to kill the girl.'
'She's in love with the hanyou.'
'So you at least admit your feeling for her.'
'I admit nothing.' He came to the clearing to stop dead at the sight that greeted him. Rin was dancing around Jaken who was wearing flowers almost everywhere. Rin turned and noticed Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!!!" Rin ran and latched onto the demon lord's leg. "Rin missed you." Then Rin noticed the girl that Sesshoumaru was carrying. "You brought Kagome-neechan!"
Sesshoumaru set Kagome gently on the ground. She stirred and awakened. The first thing to greet her was a very enthusiastic girl. "Kagome- neechan! Now that you're here you can play with Rin." Kagome smiled at the little girl.
"If it's okay with Sesshoumaru-sama, I would love to play with you Rin." Rin cheered and grabbed Kagome's hand and went to gather more flowers. Sesshoumaru went over to Jaken.
"Jaken."
"Hai Sesshoumaru-sama." Jaken had finally gotten rid of all the flowers that had been covering him.
"Wait here for Inu Yasha. He is following my trail. When he gets here tell him that if he wishes to reclaim his wench that he must give up the Tetsusaiga, then return to the castle."
"H-hai Sesshoumaru-sama."
"Do not fail me Jaken." Sesshoumaru walked up to the two girls sitting in the field of flowers and stood there for a moment listening to their conversation.
"Nee Kagome-neechan, are you going to marry Sesshoumaru-sama." Kagome blushed at the girl's directness.
"I don't think Sesshoumaru-sama would be very interested in that Rin-chan."
'If only she knew,' thought Sesshoumaru.
"How come?"
"Sesshoumaru-sama does not act like he likes me very much Rin. In order to get married both of the people have to love each other very much."
"Oh I see." Rin looked down at the flower in her hand. "If Sesshoumaru- sama fell in love with Kagome-neechan then would she love him and get married."
Kagome could see the hope in the girl's eyes and did not want to crush her dreams. "I suppose anything is possible."
Rin's eyes lit up. "Yay, then Kagome-neechan could be Rin's okaasan." Kagome laughed as the girl ran around saying all the things that they could all do together after she and Sesshoumaru were married.
Sesshoumaru watched fairly amused. His heart has actually been lightened when he heard Kagome say that he had a chance even though he knew she was just humoring Rin. 'We should take our leave. I do not wish for the hanyou to get here.' He walked up to Rin and scooped her into his arms. He extended a hand to Kagome and was surprised when she took it without hesitation. He then flew off with the two girls in his arms towards the Western Lands.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Rin had already fallen asleep in his arms and it seemed as if Kagome was about to slip out of consciousness as well so Sesshoumaru landed in a clearing. Kagome looked up at him with her sleepy eyes. "We shall camp here." He handed Rin to Kagome and went in search for something to eat. 'No doubt the humans are hungry.'
Kagome sat down with Rin in her arms and thought about her situation. 'First I get taken by Naraku and sexually assaulted (keep in mind he only kissed her nothing else, don't worry), then I get captured by Sesshoumaru. This is a great day for you Kagome. Maybe it won't be so bad, I mean Sesshoumaru hasn't made any move to attack me or anything. He's actually been kind of nice, but remember what that led to with Naraku.' Then Kagome remembered what Rin had been saying earlier. 'I doubt that Sesshoumaru could ever love a human. Anyway I think it's about time I give up on love. Everyone seems to want something from me instead of actually wanting me.' Kagome soon was lulled to sleep by the sounds of the night.
Sesshoumaru walked back into the clearing to see Kagome holding Rin in her lap fast asleep. He looked at the girl who at this moment looked barely human. The moonlight filtering in from the trees above and made her look more like a creature of the forest such as a wood sprite than the human girl she was. Sesshoumaru dropped the dead rabbit he was holding, he could always hunt again in the morning. He doubted either of them wanted to get up and eat at the moment. He sat down next to Kagome and watched her intently. 'She would make a good mother. Rin seems to love her. Perhaps I should keep her around.'
'Keep her around because Rin loves her or because you do.'
'Not you again.'
'Yep, me again. Just admit it you want the girl.'
'Fine. I want her, but she loves the hanyou.'
'Then make her love you. She already said it was possible.'
'She was humoring the child.'
'Perhaps, then again she did not flinch when you offered her your hand and she hasn't fought you since you took her.' Kagome mumbled something unintelligible and leaned her head on Sesshoumaru's shoulder. Her scent surrounded him and he found himself getting light headed. He leaned closer to her to smell her better. 'She smells like a field of wildflowers and sakura blossoms.' Kagome wiggled a bit and ended up in Sesshoumaru's lap. She sighed and nuzzled his neck. Sesshoumaru blushed.
'Perhaps, I could allow myself to feel around her.' Sesshoumaru nuzzled the top of her head and fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naraku watched Kagome and Sesshoumaru in Kanna's mirror. "So you think that you can take what is mine. Just you wait, I shall reclaim the girl." Naraku gave a menacing laugh.
Kagura was standing around the corner seeing what was going on. 'He's not willing to hurt the girl. Perhaps that means she can defeat him and then I can be free.'
~~~~~~~~~~~
Inu Yasha and the gang had set up camp for the night. "I hope we find Kagome soon." Shippou seemed to be complaining more every moment that passed that they hadn't found Kagome. Inu Yasha sighed. He had been doing that a lot lately. Then a noise caught his attention. There was someone watching him. He left his weary companions to check it out.
He came to a small clearing and saw a figure staring back at him. "Kikyou..." 'I can't do this anymore. I have to find Kagome. I love Kagome!' "What do you want Kikyou?"
"I want to help." Kikyou took a step towards Inu Yasha. "I understand that you love my reincarnation, I want to help you rescue her."
'She might be helpful.' "Okay Kikyou, but don't come till tomorrow. I don't think the other would be able to handle the news of you joining us just yet."
"Okay I'll wait here till morning." Inu Yasha walked off back towards his friends.
'I'll work with Kikyou if it means that I can help Kagome.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay, there's another chapter. Congrats to all those that voted for Sess/Kag
Sesshy: I knew I would win
Naraku: Curse you. I almost won.
Inu : Wait if Sesshoumaru gets Kagome, then what happens to me?
Shichan: That's a good question. To tell you truth I have no idea. Maybe some nice reviewer will come up with some good idea for me.
Inu: Please review, I don't wanna be stuck with Kikyou
Shichan: ...Or you could kill Sesshoumaru, but that wouldn't be good.
Inu: I like that idea *lunges at Sesshoumaru*
Kagome: Osuwari!
Inu: @_@
Kagome: Hey Sesshou, looks like we get three fics together. We haven't kissed in this fic yet maybe we should practice.
Sesshy: I like the way you think. *grabs Kagome*
Shichan: Um...I think I'll go now. *sees Kagome and Sesshy making out* Yeah I'll definitely leave now *drags out Inu Yasha and Naraku*
Okay please review because I really don't know what to do with Inu. I guess I could make some weird alternate pairing with Inu and Kagura or something. Suggestions anyone?
~*Shichan
But because the Naraku/Kagome votes were soooo close, I'm gonna agree to make a Nar/Kag fic when I finish one of the two fics I'm working on right now. So please give me ideas for a Nar/Kag fic if you wanna see it in the future.
Ok on with the fic.
