--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8

"Leila, I'm going into my room. Will you come with me?" Kagome said blankly.

"I'm sorry, but I have to greet Sesshoumaru-Sama. Its customary for servants."

"Oh" Was all Kagome's response.

"Kagome-chan, he'll be arriving in about five minutes. You sure you don't want to greet him?"

Kagome's face brightened a little. "No. I'll stay in my room, then I can come out when hes here. I'll just stay in the kitchens with you, he dosent go in there, right?"

"Right." Leila smiled.



Sesshoumaru came silently, and the servants who were there to greet him were dismissed to their daily tasks.

Kagome sat on her bed. She had to avoid Sesshoumaru. She felt herself falling for him. For HIM? She would have never thought it before, but..staying with him...lets just say all her views have changed about him.

She felt that she needed to stay loyal to Inuyasha, on the other hand. She felt so guilty about breaking the jewel, and she...she liked him too. Staying away from Sesshoumaru was probably the best choice, considering that Sesshoumaru and herself could NEVER be together, on account of his pride. (or other things)

Kagome peeked out of her room. She walked quickly and silently to the kitchen. Leila was waiting for her. "You didn't see him?"

"No." Kagome smiled. Suddenly she noticed another servant approaching her.

"Lady Kagome," The young man said. "Lord Sesshoumaru has requested your presence for dinner."

Kagome stiffened. Looking to Leila, she gulped.

"Follow me." The servant said, beconing to her. He led her to a large dining room adorned with a chandelier and rich furnishings. Sesshoumaru was awaiting her, sitting at the head chair of the table.

"You weren't there to greet me today." He said.

"I was taking a bath." Kagome said.

Sesshoumaru stood up. "Youre lying." He smirked, approaching her. She took a step back, looking at the door. The damn servant had shut the door.

Sesshoumaru moved close to her, so that he was just inches from her. He leaned down. "Are you afraid of me?"

Kagome straightened. "No."

Sesshoumaru took a deep breath of her scent. (Did that make sense?)

Kagome took a deep breath. "Sesshoumaru, when are you returning me to Inuyasha?"

Sesshoumaru's eyes turned cold. 'Inuyasha.'

"Is there something wrong with staying with me?!" He spat at her.

"It was just a question!" Kagome retorted. "I want to know when I can go back to my own time and see Inuyasha and Miroku and Shippo again!"

"I will tell you when the time comes." He raised his voice a little. He was beginning to get angry. "For the time being you will not speak the name of my idiot half-brother!! Sesshoumaru's face was just inches from Kagome's.

Kagome suddenly reached up and stroked his hair. It was irresistible to touch, and it was as soft as it looked.

The powerful demon lord grabbed her hand, causing Kagome to gasp slightly. He leaned in suddenly and kissed her. Her eyes widened, and she pulled away, remembering her plan to avoid him. She detached herself from him and walked to the door with her eyes on the ground.

Sesshoumaru's eyes followed her of the room. His goal to have the girl was getting closer. He touched his own hair, where the girl had touched him. He could sense her feelings, see what she saw, felt what she felt.



Kagome lay in her bed, tossing and turning. She was suffering from a nightmare, Sesshoumaru noticed. He was, as always, watching her as she slept. He had no need for sleep himself, so, In the darkness of the night, he sat and watched over her. She turned to face him, her sweat glistening on her forehead. She flipped over again, then started mumbling, "no!, No!"

~~In Kagome's dreams~~

Kikyou leaned and over and kissed Inuyasha, and pulled him deeper and deeper into the depths of hell.

Kagome reached for him. "No!!!"

Kikyou looked up. Her icy cold gaze pierced through Kagome. She stepped away from Inuyasha, grabbing her bow and arrow. She shot an arrow at Kagome before Kagome could dodge, and the arrow pierced her shoulder. She screamed out in pain. She fell into infinite darkness, reaching a hand out to the last image she saw....Inuyasha. She fell into the cold, screaming. Suddenly she was caught in a warm embrace. The pain disappeared. She looked up in the darkness.

Sesshoumaru was holding kagome. She had fallen off the bed, and he had caught her just before her head would have hit the hard floor. She blinked a couple of times, still caught in her dream. She pulled herself up and kissed him gently.

Sesshoumaru was surprised by the feel of her gentle lips on hers before he could return the embrace, she slumped into his lap, asleep.











Why do all my chapters end with Kagome sleeping? I dunno. I just like sleeping. (even though I never get to do it. I'm up all night writing these stupid fics. Lol) Review, you know the drill!!
