Can you see me? Of course not…

Surprise for life

Chapter 6

When Sesshoumaru awoke….(yeah he fell asleep) Kagome wasn't there in the clearing but Rin was still sound asleep. He rustled and stood up slowly looking about. He could still smell her close by so he didn't worry much. Settling back down he slowly dozed off once more, now next to Rin.

Kagome was relaxing in a hot spring. All her tense muscles slowly began to relax and she closed her eyes, leaning her head back. Her clothes were folded into a neat pile beside the hot spring and her hair hung to the water, already soaked. She heaves a sigh. Everything would be alright when she met up with Inuyasha and the gang. Her and Sesshoumaru would MAKE it right.

Inuyasha opened his eyes and they narrowed as he sniffed the air, tensing. Sango, Miroku and Shippou, along with none other than Kikyou all tense up, watching him. "What is it Inuyasha?" His nose twitches at Sango's words and he jumps from that tree, looking to his right. "There is two demons out there…Sesshoumaru is one of them…" He growls and he shoots off, with Kikyou in quick tow.

Kagome leans back further, stirring the foggy water and sniffs the air, smelling both Kikyou and Inuyasha getting closer and closer. Grinning she closes her eyes and sinks further into the water just as a disgruntled Inuyasha and a equally confused Kikyou come crashing into the area, both pointing their weapons at her. She opens those dark eyes of hers and both take a pause. Inuyasha was the first to speak. "You reek of my brothers scent. Who are you Demon? I've never seen you, or smelt you before? Why is that?" Kagome gives a sharp fanged captive grin and her ears twitch foreward, causing Inuyasha to go slightly limp for a second and then back defensive. "Answer me woman!" She gives a wider grin and sits up, the water slowly getting lower and lower down her chest, showing more and more of her naked skin. "And why should I answer a Half-breed like yourself?" That thick voice rolls out and Inuyasha's eyes flash. "Because I tell you to!" He pushes the Tetsuiaga closer to her and she leans back again.

"Very well then. I am Panthera. The Demon Sesshoumaru's mate. You could not smell me because you are to weak…and absorbed with your living-dead miko that you could never smell a Demon as powerful as me. Any more insolent questions?"

There was a long pause…a startled one and there was a shutter of leaves and Sesshoumaru emerged, looking irritated. "Well half-breed. I see you have met my mate…." Inuyasha jumps and gets in a fighting stance, Kikyou loads an arrow into her bow. Sesshoumaru just boredly looks down at Kagome and gives a small smile. "You know better m'love. Inuyasha is quite a perv….he could've easily just started harassing you……" Kagome smiles at Inuyasha's small pathetic excuse for a growl. "Don't worry about me Sesshy, even if I am in the nude, I could easily take them both on…" She was silenced as Sesshoumaru gives her a sarcastic cluck and hands her a towel.

None of them could miss the look Inuyasha gave her as she climbed out of the pool, Kikyou gave him a smack to the back of his head as Kagome, not worrying about concealing her perfectly shaped body until after she had gotten out and wrapped the towel firmly around her body, turning to face them all. "I am going to get dressed, ya'll don't leave me, you hear?" And they all stood in the exact same spot until she came back, her wet hair pouring over her shoulders and down her back.

"Good. Now, Inuyasha it's time we settle a little score." And before Inuyasha could even question as to what she was talking about, Sesshoumaru had appeared behind Kikyou, knocking her out and Kagome had lunged at Inuyasha, avoiding his pathetic attempt to catch her with the Tetsuiga.
