----------------------------------------------------------Chapter 9
Sesshoumaru looked at the sleeping girl in his lap in shock. She had just KISSED him. His lips tingled as he watched upon her. She was now sleeping peacefully, lips slightly parted. He picked her up gently and placed her back on her bed. With one final glance of her, he left the room.
Kagome opened her eyes slowly. She rose from her bed, finding a new kimono for her. The color suited her well, she thought as she looked in the mirror. 'when am I ever going to get out of here?' Silently she told herself that she would miss this place when she left.
Kagome walked down the lavishly decorated corridors to the Kitchen, greeting servants that she had met along the way.
Sesshoumaru followed her, watching her as she ambled her way along. She had made friends so quickly with his servants. He didn't even know his servants to be on name terms.
Kagome reached the kitchens. She greeted Leila warmly, and the servant girl welcomed her into the kitchens, handing her a rag to scrub pots and pans.
"Leila, I'm gonna miss you when I leave." Kagome said.
"Oh, Please don't leave Kagome!!! Stay here with us!" Leila said earnestly.
"Leila, you know I cant!"
"Arent you happy here though?"
"Yes, I like it a lot. I have so many friends, and I like helping out in the kitchens too...If I had a choice, I would stay!"
"But what about Sesshoumaru-sama?"
Kagome paused. "He-he isnt so bad," she concluded.
Later that night, Sesshoumaru sat in his study, staring at the fire. He remained still as he heard a servant enter the room to change the oil of the lamps. Glancing to the side, he realized that the servant was the girl that appeared to be his hostage's friend.
"Girl." He said sharply, turning to the side.
Leila froze. Gulping nervously, she rushed up to the great demon lord, kneeling in front of him.
"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama?" She mumbled.
"Are you a friend of the girl?"
"Kagome?" Leila looked up.
"Is that her name?" Sesshoumaru asked, looking down at the girl.
"Mm-hm" the girl mumbled, shielding her eyes again.
"Does she speak of me?"
Leila looked up at her lord in puzzlement. "yes."
"What does she say." The statement wasn't a question, it was more of a command.
"She told me this morning that you weren't that bad."
Sesshoumaru glared at the girl. "You may leave now."
Kagome woke up in the middle of the night, her mouth dry. She put a hand to her throat. She decided to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Walking barefooted down the stone hallway, she saw the crack of Sesshoumaru's study door glowing, meaning that he was up. She stopped. The last thing she wanted was her and Sesshoumaru to be alone in the middle of the night. She tiptoed past the door, taking a deep breath once she passed it.
She proceeded to the kitchen. She filled a glass with water from the barrel of spring water that took residence in the kitchen. After taking a deep gulp, she turned around, and suddenly she was pinned against a wall. The glass of water in her hand fell to the floor and shattered. She was enveloped by someone who she could not see. She waited for her eyes to adjust, or for the figure to speak, which ever came first. Her heart raced in fear, thinking it was some servant that was trying to assault her.
She saw a flash of silvery-white hair. Realizing that it was Sesshoumaru, she breathed a sigh of relief. He would never hurt her. Sesshoumaru could smell the fear disappearing, and her true scent came back to him. Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru. She now knew, being so close to him, that she actually did love this demon lord. He leaned down to her to smell the sweet scent that radiated from her, and much to his surprise, she lifted her head and pressed her mouth on his. He responded quickly, wrapping his arms around her small form, bringing her closer to him. It was the first real kiss that either of them had.
It was Sesshoumaru who broke the kiss. He pulled his lips away from hers, but his arms remained around her waist. "why did you do that?" was all he said.
"I-I don't know...." Kagome said. She couldn't possibly tell him that she loved him...could she? She opened her mouth again to apologize, but her apology was stopped when he kissed her gently. Kagome didn't know that something so gentle as that kiss could come from Sesshoumaru. Suddenly she thought of Inuyasha. No! She had to stay loyal. This couldn't happen to her now!! She pulled away and ran towards her bedroom.
Sesshoumaru watched her retreating figure. He almost had her..
MEANWHILE....
Inuyasha whispered Kikyou's name softly. He took a step towards her...suddenly he remembered the promise he had made to Kagome...that he would always protect her.
He tore his gaze away from Kikyou and looked at the ground. "Kikyou...I will come back to you...but I made a promise to Kagome, and I don't break my promises." Kikyou tilted her head to the side, not saying a word.
"I'm leaving now." He said quietly before he began running towards the western lands again.
Kikyou watched him retreat and summoned her snake-demons to carry her. She followed him silently, never saying a word or letting her presence be known.
Kagome walked down the ever-so-familiar hallway to the kitchen. Suddenly Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist harshly.
"Today." He whispered in her ear.
She pulled away, looking at him questioningly.
"Today I will return you to Inuyasha."
Me happy that I got chappy 9 finshed!!!! Yay! NO school tomorrow! You know the drill.....R&R!!!!!!!!
