Im back! Im sorry it took so long to update! I had an utterly Completely
AMAZINGLY busy week, add a little writers block to that, mix it up, and you
have a formula for a slow update. Anyway, I was going to have a different
ending, but that would make this a lot shorter that I want it to be. So
here is chapter 6!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha! Poop on you stupid lawyers!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 6
Kagome woke up slowly, keeping her eyes closed. She could tell she was moving; the wind was whipping at her hair, and it ran through her clothes, making her cold. She shivered and opened her eyes. She was on Sesshoumaru's back, riding him like she used to ride Inuyasha.
Something caught her eye. She looked to her right, seeing Sesshoumaru's tail (like I said before, in this fic, it IS a tail) She averted her gaze to Sesshoumaru's head again.
"Sesshoumaru?" She whispered into his ear.
He glanced back slightly. "So youre awake."
"Sesshoumaru, can I use your tail to cover me? Im really cold."
"Hn. Weak humans." he said, even though he would admit that the wind was very strong. He wrapped his tail around her, and she snuggled into the warmth. Sesshoumaru continued ahead, focusing on the horizon. Suddenly he stiffened as he felt Kagome rub her face against his tail.
"Sesshoumaru, did you know your tail is really soft?" she said quietly.
There was no response.
"We are approaching my castle." He announced.
"Wow! You really have a castle! That's just so cool!" Kagome exclaimed. "I've never seen a real castle before!" A big gust of wind came up and almost blew Kagome off Sesshoumaru, which would have happened had Sesshoumaru not had his tail wrapped around the small human. Kagome shrieked as she was almost pulled off Sesshoumaru, which made Sesshoumaru cringe on account of his sensitive hearing. He was glad to see his castle appear on the horizon. Kagome was snuggled in Sesshoumaru's tail again. He approached the magnificent architecture and landed at the front door. Kagome hopped off.
"Wow!" She said, looking up, to the top of the castle. This left her in a rather awkward position, leaning back. She fell over, landing on her butt. She looked up at Sesshoumaru, smiling. He had gone inside, his tail just disappearing inside the door.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Kagome yelled after him, running inside just before the giant heavy doors slammed behind her. She ran and caught up with Sesshoumaru.
Jaken came out of a nearby room. "Sesshoumaru-sama! You have returned!" The ugly toad suddenly saw Kagome.
"Master?! Why have you brought her here?! Isnt she Inuyasha's bitch?!" Suddenly Kagome appeared behind Jaken and bonked him on the head.
'Couldn't have handled it better myself.'
Sesshoumaru turned and summoned a servant. "Take her to the room next to mine." He said quietly to the servant. Turning to Kagome, he noticed that she was already halfway down the hallway.
"Girl!" He said sharply.
Kagome turned around. "My name is not Girl!!! Its KAGOME!"
"Follow this servant. He will lead you to your room."
"What about you-"
"I have my own matters to attend to." He snapped, turning and striding down the hallway. Kagome watched him, slightly hurt. "You don't have to be so mean about it." She said softly, not intending for Sesshoumaru to hear. But of course, on account of his superior hearing, he did. He turned back around, but she was already gone. Around the next corner. He knew she would always be around the next corner. Like tomorrow. Always anticipated, never happening. He went to his room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
Kagome was led to her room. She stood in awe at the magnificent furnishing that decorated the room. She spotted a new kimono lying on the beautiful bed. She walked over to it and picked it up. It looked even more expensive than the one that she was currently wearing. She put it on, thinking of how incredibly nice it was to have clean clothes. She walked over to the window, looking out on the flower garden. It was magnificent. Then she went into the bathroom, finding (to her great pleasure) many perfumes. She opened each and every one up and smelled it. She laughed, finding herself happy in the great accommodations.
'Wait a second' She thought suddenly to herself. 'I'm having FUN?! I am, number one, a hostage to say the very least, and number two, Inuyasha is all alone. He has no one to help him find the shards. But wait again....isn't he looking for me?????I feel so guilty! Im taking away from his time and energy...'
Kagome walked glumly to the bed and sat down, feeling terrible. Her eyes stung, and there was a lump in her throat.
Sesshoumaru touched the handle of the door that adjoined his and Kagome's rooms. He didn't need to see her, he didn't have to tell her any plans, but the fact was that he wanted to. He had never been so....close to someone so cheerful, so generous, so....beautiful. Yes, beautiful. Never before would he find beauty in such a simple emotional creature, but there really was something special about her. She was different. He turned the knob and opened the door silently. She was sitting with her back to him, so of course she was not aware of him. 'Humans depend too much on sight.' Sesshoumaru thought to himself. He was standing almost directly behind her. Her smell began to get to him. It was infused with the room. He knew that he would never be able to get the smell out of this room. His mind began to get fuzzy; it was difficult to think. Kagome suddenly stood up and turned around, about to get ready for bed. She bumped into Sesshoumaru, startling her profusely. She stumbled backwards. Sesshoumaru took a step forward and put his arm around her back. He pulled her to him, so close that their thighs were touching. Sesshoumaru suddenly leaned down and kissed her. It was a lot sweeter than he expected. He found himself profusely enjoying the taste of her. Kagome's eyes widened. She suddenly realized how gentle Sesshoumaru was being. She relaxed into his arm. She kissed him back. Her arms were trapped between her chest and Sesshoumaru's chest. The powerful youkai felt her relax and was comforted. Suddenly Kagome realized what she was doing and tried to pull away. Sesshoumaru picked up on this and although reluctantly, let her go. Kagome took a step back, looking at Sesshoumaru in fear. She shook her head.
'I have to stay loyal to Inuyasha, but Sesshoumaru just kissed me! Why is this so complicated! I mean, isn't the guy supposed to be cold hearted! That would be a lot easier! If he didn't like me this much, I mean. But still, I have Inuyasha. He trusted me! Man, what am I going to do!?' Kagome sat down, her head in her hands. She felt the tears coming on.
Sesshoumaru smelled salt. Was she....crying??? He leaned in to her. He took her had away from her head, forcing her to look up at her. Kagome did have tears in her eyes.
"Tell me what you're thinking" He demanded.
Kagome pulled away, going to the window seat. She curled up, facing away from Sesshoumaru. "I feel really bad about Inuyasha. And now...this makes things a lot more complicated. Inuyasha trusted me, and now he dosent have anyone to find the jewel shards...you know, I feel bad that I was off my guard and was kidnapped." She looked out the window, at the flower garden.
Sesshoumaru stood behind her. "It was not your fault that you were kidnapped. You were obviously put to sleep by the sleep enchantress. You could not have prevented falling asleep-"
"No." Kagome interrupted. "I was not put to sleep by the sleep enchantress. I killed her with my arrow, then I sat down, intending to watch over you guys that were sleeping. But I, I, fell asleep later that night. Then you..."
Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm. "What good would you have been against me anyways?"
Kagome looked up at him slowly. She stood up and, taking a step toward him, hugged him.
There is chapter 6 (wow, six chapters!!) Anyway, I spent 2 days on this, which isn't normal for me. I think it's a good chapter, but if its confusing at all, then tell me in a review. A flame would be accepted. (-- I hate to say that. *cringes*
Again, sorry it took so long!!
