Chapter 5
Sesshoumaru's Excuse
The day had passed for Sesshoumaru. He had gotten to his territory and placed the unconscious Kagome in one of the guest rooms. He now stood on the balcony of his quarters. Looking out into the distance. Looking over his fields of flowers, and meadows, watching as his servants watered the plants and etc.
He took a deep breath of the new morning air, before looking down the balcony to see one of his servants cleaning up the destroyed plant pots. He turned around without a word and headed out of his room, soon to hear the low singing of a small child, a young girl. Who he knew right off it was Rin. He had just walked out of his room and closed the door behind him to see Rin skip from around the corner, and see him. A joyful smile appeared on her face as she skipped over to him, and wrapped her small arms around his leg. "HELLO SESSHOUMARU!!! HOW ARE YOU DOING!?" shouted the little human girl. Sesshoumaru looked down at her his expression was blank; which didn't surprise Rin. She just smiled anyways. "Well?" she asked in a cheerful voice. ".I'm Fine." He replied in a shady voice, that began to walk again as she released his leg, but skipped along side him. "So where are you going, Sesshoumaru?" She asked ever so happily. Sesshoumaru glanced down at the human girl beside him, once than looked back up. "I am going to see someone." He answered. "Oh! Can I come?" she asked him.
".If you wish too." He answered once again. Rin didn't answer instead she ran ahead of him with a big smile on her face, and stopped just at the corner. Sesshoumaru stopped along side of her, and watched as she ran up ahead, and stopped just outside of a guest room. Rin smiled and looked up at him. "Is the person in here, Sesshoumaru!?" she grinned. Sesshoumaru blinked down at her, and looks at the room, smelling Kagome's scent inside then nodded down at the little girl. Lately Rin had been guessing randomly about things he had not yet told her and been getting them right. He didn't quite understand how she already knew what he was about to tell her, unless Jaken had told her, but he doubted that. He had specifically told Jaken not to tell anyone what he had told him, or he had witnessed it. And if he had, well, Jaken already knew, but little Rin did not. The toad demon would just not simply show up the next day, or for the week, or ever. Sesshoumaru soon snapped back into reality when Rin had tugged onto his pant leg. "Um Sesshoumaru? Are you okay? You're not answering me." Little Rin asked. He looked down at her and blinked. "What did you ask?"
".Um. What ever happened to Miss Kalesha?" Sesshoumaru only wore his blank expression, and did not reply as he opened the door to the guest room and stepped in. Rin blinked and followed shortly behind him. As the two entered, they both could see a female figure on the bed, wrapped up in the sheets. Sesshoumaru silently walked over to it and placed a hand onto its side, slightly shaking it. The figure moaned lowly, and soon sat up quickly and turned to see Sesshoumaru. Kagome gasped, and jumped back off the bed away from Sesshoumaru. "What! Sesshoumaru! How did I get here! Why am I here! Where is Inuyasha!?" she demanded to know in a high pitch yell. Sesshoumaru growled slightly, the yell disturbing his ears, narrowing his eyes at Kagome he slowly walked towards her. "Miss Kagome, Please, ask one question at a time. And do not yell. It disturbs my ears. And Please. Be calm, I am not going to hurt you."
Kagome's face reddened; now with anger, looked at Sesshoumaru and stomped her foot onto the ground, "I CAN YELL IF I WANT TOO! YOU BROUGHT ME HERE! AND I WANT ANSWERS!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, a near by flower vase on a small table shattering by the scream. Sesshoumaru watched the teenaged miko infront of him, a deep ground sounding in his chest, as he hand quickly swooped in the air, and clutched Kagome around the neck and pinned her to the wall. His emotionless eyes watched her, as she went silent and squirmed in his grasp, his voice; now suddenly sounding slightly angry as he spoke. "Miss Kagome. I tried to be calm and kind to you as best I could and this is how you react. I will not tolerate it. Either you listen to me or -."he stopped talking remembering that Rin was still in the room. He glanced over to the little girl to see her watching him and Kagome wide eyed, her small hand clutching onto her necklace. He slowly turned his gaze back to Kagome before he released her neck, watching as she had fallen to the ground onto her knees infront of him. "Or be punished. You are mine now. So respect me as if you did my foolish brother. It is his fault you are here in my chambers instead of being with him." Kagome's eyes went wide and her head shot up to look at Sesshoumaru. "What do you mean it's his fault?" Sesshoumaru watched Kagome silently, and lowered his hands to his sides. "Inuyasha, and I had made a deal, miko. The deal was either I get the sword or he keeps the sword." Kagome watched Sesshoumaru. "I do not understand."
Sesshoumaru sighed deeply, and placed his hands into the sleeves of his kimono. "Of course you wouldn't your small human brain couldn't possibly understand what I am saying." he said. "Miss Kagome. What I mean is either Inuyasha gets the sword or he gets you, because in this cause I had you, because he could not protect you against a monster in his state. But I could. So I made the deal in either he gets you or the sword. And he apparently, as you can see, chosen the sword. I apologize for breaking the bad news to you, I truly do. But it was his decisions. So do not hate me. Hate him for giving you this fate. Now if you want anything please. Ask the servants, and they will fetch it for you. I must retire. Goodbye Miss Kagome." He said before deporting out of the room. Rin watched as Sesshoumaru left the room and looked over to the now sobbing Kagome as she covered her face with her hands, and cried. The little girl walked over to her and kneeled down infront of her. "Hey.Lady? Whats wrong? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" asked the little girl. Kagome looked up at Rin from her hands as she separated them from her face. "Who.are you?" she asked, her voice tainted with tears. Rin smiled cheerfully and placed a tiny hand onto her waist. "MY NAME IS RIN!!! Who are you? Are you my new mommy?"
Kagome looked at the little girl stunned, and surprised, thinking how rude the girl was to ask that, but simply closed her eyes and sighed. "No.sweetie. I am not, your mother." Rin blinked, as tears began to fill her eyes, forming into pools as they slowly began to drip from her eyes, flowing freely down her cheek and onto the ground beneath her feet. Kagome looked at the small child, and frowned slightly with sadness and the girl began to cry infront of her whipping her tears onto her kimono. Kagome sighed deeply as she reached out to the girl and pulled her into a small hug. "Shh. Do not cry, sweetie. Don't cry. I'm sorry. I'll be your mother, all right? So please do not cry." She said in a low caring voice as she wiped away the tears on Rin's small face, and pulled her into a gentle hug. Rin began to sniffle softly then soon returned the hug and smiled. "Yay!" she cheered. "I have a mommy again!" she announced and hugged onto Kagome tighter. -Meanwhile- Sesshoumaru had walked silently back to his quarters silently, as he sat down in one of his chairs, and cracked open a book from the small table infront of him, a book mark in place. The book was old and falling apart, but what caught Sesshoumaru's attention was the book was originally an old demon's journal that he had found after slaying the demon who lived here before. Sesshoumaru remained like this for the past 5 minutes his eyes scanning the small demon writing, till the door to his chambers opened and in came Jaken followed by the miko, Kagome. Sesshoumaru glanced over to them, then had noticed that Kagome was not following him but lifting him up by the back of his kimono and dragging him in. Kagome suddenly dropped Jaken before coming up next to Sesshoumaru and frowned down at him. Jaken looked up to Sesshoumaru, his eyes filled with fear as he watched his master infront of him. "Lord Sesshoumaru, I tired to stop her from coming here! But she did not listen to me! Please forgive me, sire!" Sesshoumaru looked down at the demon toad, as he then laid his book down onto his own lap and pushed his bangs away from his eyes. "Jaken." "Sesshoumaru! We need to talk!" interrupted Kagome, as she placed her hands onto her hips, watching as Sesshoumaru's eyes focused over to her. "Oh? About what if I may ask?" Kagome slightly narrowed her eyes and sat in the only other chair that was in the room, which was infront of Sesshoumaru. She placed her hands onto her lap and glared at him. "Tell me why have you brought me here instead of killing me?" she asked. Sesshoumaru watched Kagome with an emotionless face, and did not reply, instead he placed the book onto the small table next to him and looked at Jaken shooting a look at him, causing the Demon Toad to suddenly stand and walk out the room in a fast pace, closing the door behind him. Sesshoumaru looked back to the Miko, and put his hands into the sleeves into his kimono, and replied to Kagome's question. "I believe it is really none of your concern why I have brought you here, instead of slaying you." He said in a cold but calm voice. Kagome blinked a few times as she watched Sesshoumaru with a slightly disappointed expression on her face but soon turned her head and closed her eyes. "Please, Sesshoumaru. This is all I ask. This is the only question I wish to ask of you. Tell me why you have not killed me yet? Am I bait to lour Inuyasha here so you can kill him and take the Tetsusaiga?" she asked softly. Sesshoumaru watched the miko infront of him and couldn't help but smirk slightly, but in an evil way, and stood. The smirk soon fading quicker then it had appeared. "It may very well be why I have not killed you. And maybe it may not be it. But like I said before. It is none of your concern, if I tell you or not." He said again. Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru and stood up straight and walked over to him, and suddenly grabbed a hold of his arm and pinned him against the wall with strength not her own. Sesshoumaru's eye went wide with surprise just for a second, not expecting the human girl to do such a thing or even be this strong. She was almost as strong as him. And she was nothing but a human. How could she have possibly gotten this much strength? Kagome narrowed her eyes at him, and looked straight into his, her eyes dark brown and glaring daggers at him. Sesshoumaru let out a snarl before trying to yank his arms free. Nothing. Her hands wouldn't budge from their spot, like a statue. Sesshoumaru growled, and looked at her. "What are you thinking, miko? Get your hands off me at once before I'll have not other choice but to kill you." He hissed. Kagome let a small smirk spread across her sweet face not was now twisted into an insane grin as of now. Sesshoumaru certainly did not expect anything like this. "I don't think so, Lord Sesshoumaru. You've been very mean to my friends and me. I think you deserve a punishment for all the trouble you have caused us." She said lowly, as if a whisper, her face coming closer to his. So close that Sesshoumaru could fell her warm breath on his cheek. Sesshoumaru let out another growl as he tried to pry free again. Still nothing. Kagome giggled at his attempt, smirked at him, her face an inch away from his. "You know what, Lord Sesshoumaru?" she asked. Sesshoumaru wore a blank expression as he watched Kagome, but his mind was in anger but did not allow it to show. "What?" he asked. "I always wondered why you were so mean to us, and if you have ever been kissed before by a girl? Hm?" she asked him. Sesshoumaru blinked not quite knowing what she met by that, but soon found out what she meant as she pressed her lips against his. Sesshoumaru gagged, as her tongue slid into his mouth. His stomach twisted, he felt as if he needed to vomit, as the human girl did this. It tasted as if someone was sliding the most horrible thing into his mouth that he could think off. The human girl soon broke the kiss and grinned at him. "Aw. you're a bad kisser, you know." Sesshoumaru now glared down at the miko. ".As soon as you let me go. I'm going to kill you." She smirked. "And why not kill me now? If you so much stronger then me, huh?" Sesshoumaru continued to glare at her and growled. She smirked and opened her mouth, but Sesshoumaru soon heard a voice that was not her own. In fact in sounded like the Demon Toad Jaken, which it was quite surprising for him to hear it come for the miko. "Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru! Wake up!" called the voice. - Sesshoumaru's eyes suddenly snapped open, and lifted his head up, and looked to his right to see Jaken standing there, watching at him. "What? What is it, Jaken?" Jaken blinked at him, and stepped back. "I apologize, sire. But I had to wake you up because. Well you were yelling in your. sleep." He said. Sesshoumaru blinked, and wore a blank expression. In my sleep, so then it was just a dream, only a dream. "Oh? Is that so. Well, Jaken do forget about it. It was only once. Do not worry." He said as he stood and looked around. He was still in his chambers, the demon's journal's book on the small table next to him. Jaken watched his master and nodded quickly and turned around and went out the room. Sesshoumaru watched as the toad demon departed, and then looked at the ground, closing his eyes and rubbing his temple of the right side of his head, then soon departed from the room himself.
Sesshoumaru's Excuse
The day had passed for Sesshoumaru. He had gotten to his territory and placed the unconscious Kagome in one of the guest rooms. He now stood on the balcony of his quarters. Looking out into the distance. Looking over his fields of flowers, and meadows, watching as his servants watered the plants and etc.

Kagome sighed deeply as she reached out to the girl and pulled her into a small hug. "Shh. Do not cry, sweetie. Don't cry. I'm sorry. I'll be your mother, all right? So please do not cry." She said in a low caring voice as she wiped away the tears on Rin's small face, and pulled her into a gentle hug. Rin began to sniffle softly then soon returned the hug and smiled. "Yay!" she cheered. "I have a mommy again!" she announced and hugged onto Kagome tighter. -Meanwhile- Sesshoumaru had walked silently back to his quarters silently, as he sat down in one of his chairs, and cracked open a book from the small table infront of him, a book mark in place.

"And why not kill me now? If you so much stronger then me, huh?" Sesshoumaru continued to glare at her and growled. She smirked and opened her mouth, but Sesshoumaru soon heard a voice that was not her own. In fact in sounded like the Demon Toad Jaken, which it was quite surprising for him to hear it come for the miko. "Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru! Wake up!" called the voice. - Sesshoumaru's eyes suddenly snapped open, and lifted his head up, and looked to his right to see Jaken standing there, watching at him. "What? What is it, Jaken?" Jaken blinked at him, and stepped back. "I apologize, sire. But I had to wake you up because. Well you were yelling in your. sleep." He said. Sesshoumaru blinked, and wore a blank expression. In my sleep, so then it was just a dream, only a dream. "Oh? Is that so. Well, Jaken do forget about it. It was only once. Do not worry." He said as he stood and looked around. He was still in his chambers, the demon's journal's book on the small table next to him. Jaken watched his master and nodded quickly and turned around and went out the room. Sesshoumaru watched as the toad demon departed, and then looked at the ground, closing his eyes and rubbing his temple of the right side of his head, then soon departed from the room himself.
