A/N: I totally forgot what I was gonna write. But anyway I'm about to see
The Hulk. My bestfriend (who is perverted like Miroku, but he doesn't go
around groping any girl. JUST ME!) Anyway, oh yeah, the chapter Traitor!
has been corrected!!
~ * ~ Chapter Eleven: Truth Hurts ~ * ~
Inuyasha and Kikyou arrived at Kaede's but two days before Miroku and Sango did. No one dared to say anything to Inuyasha; they just kept their mouths shut and minded their own business. It was dusk and Inuyasha and Kikyou went on their 'stroll', while Kaede, Sango, and Miroku were left in the hut by themselves.
All of them looked at the corner where Kagome and Shippo used to sleep.
"I can't believe he would do that to Kagome," Miroku nodded in agreement to Sango's statement. "No disrespect to your sister, Kaede-sama, but Kikyou is NOT Kagome," Miroku pointed out. "I loved my sister dearly, but the Kikyou of today is not the Kikyou of yesterday. She is also nothing compared to the happiness Kagome has brought us. I know she is still alive somewhere."
Both Miroku and Sango looked at each other guiltily.
"That's also what Shippo said," they quietly both acknowledged.
The tired trio retired into their little corners. Sango wasn't surprised that there weren't any more gropings. For they all were trying to ignore the sounds of Inuyasha and Kikyou making love in the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshoumaru came home earlier than expected. He couldn't wait to start training Kagome again. It gave him an excuse to touch her and her an excuse to let him. He remembered how happy he felt when she asked if she could sleep with him. But whenever she was in heat, she would either sleep in her room or with Rin.
Sesshoumaru was thinking all of that when he smelled something familiar. He couldn't place it, but he remembered it from somewhere. He followed the smell all the way to the bathing room that Kagome had been looking for that night.
'So, she found it after all.' He cracked the door open to find Kagome, Rin, and that kitsune taking a bath. The kitsune wasn't awake, but he was alive. There were tears spilling out of Kagome's eyes, so he decided to stay quiet. 'I never liked that little rascal that much.'
"Can you hand me a towel?" Kagome asked Sesshoumaru. He gladly handed her a towel. She climbed up the stairs and he wrapped it around her wet, shaking body. Afterwards, she ran into his arms and started to sob.
"It's alright Kagome, he's not dead."
:: sob:: "But I was ::hick:: supposed to take ::hick:: care of him. He was ::hick:: like my son!"
Sesshoumaru had to cover his ears, she was wailing like a banshee. He had to surpress the urge to chuckle, "Relax, he's a demon. He can heal himself."
Kagome stopped sobbing. 'Now I feel really stupid.' She looked up. "Oh yeah."
He wiped her tears away and told Rin and Kagome to get dressed.

Rin was in charge of watching over Shippo while Kagome finished her "training lessons". Today, she was to learning the Zankoku technique ( A/N: I don't know, I couldn't think of anything else so I picked Zankoku. You know from that song Zankoku no Tenshi no TE-ZE. It means The Cruel Angel Thesis. Anyway, Zankoku means cruel).
It involved a slow movement of the hips with a swift downward arc of the katana. The feel of light claws caressing intimate places, and hot breath on your neck.
Actually, Kagome learned all that she needed to learn from him. Or more precisely, all he would teach her. This was just their time together because Rin was always following them. They were hugging now, dancing to some unheard music. He rested his head on the top of her head.
She smells so, so soothing... Mmm, flowers and thunderstorms."
Sesshoumaru was having some sort of mental battle on whether to tell her or not. 'I would give my life for her, whether she would need it or not. I wonder if she feels the same.' He buried his nose deep insider her raven tresses.
Kagome got a big doofy grin that indicated she was in heaven.
'What's wrong with him?'
He decided he would tell her, "Kagome, I love you."
'Did I just hear right?' "Sesshoumaru, I-"
Her sentence was cut off, "Kagoomeeee!" A big fluffy red thingy jumped on her and knocked her out of Sesshoumaru's arms, and onto the grass.
"Shippo, you're ok!" Kagome didn't know if she should laugh or cry. So she did both.
"Where is everyone else?" she asked.
Sesshoumaru got a little flustered to see the anxious look on her face, but then his heart broke when Kagome's face was shattered.
"They left me here, all by myself." he quietly said.
She felt like her heart broke in two. "Well, then tell me all about it." Shippo looked over Kagome's shoulder, and for the first time, seeing Sesshoumaru.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey look out Kagome! Sesshoumaru's gonna kill you!" Shippo jumped on Sesshoumaru's head and began to nibble on his left ear. Kagome couldn't help but chuckle at how pissed off Sesshoumaru looked. He looked at her and said, "You think it's funny?" She nodded her head, but got up. "Come in Shippo, it's ok. He's not gonna hurt me."
Shippo looked at her in an uncertain way, but jumped in Kagome's arms, and settled for a low growl. Sesshoumaru just stared at Shippo and gave him one last look before saying, "Follow me and tell us all about it."
Kagome had been comfortable sitting in Sesshoumaru's lap, but when Shippo told her that he knew about Inuyasha visiting Kikyou the whole time; she felt the need to cry. Sesshoumaru could sense the change in her feelings, but didn't say anything about it. He just tried to be a comfort to her. He knew that what she needed was a pillar of strength.
'I'll be that pillar Kagome. Even if you don't want it.'
He also noticed that the kitsune, named Shippo, didn't fully trust him.
'Well, he'll just have to deal with it!' Shippo also explained to them that Sango and Miroku didn't want to go, but they had no choice. It was a heart breaking story, but she refused to cry.
"Shippo-chan, have you met Rin-chan yet?" Shippo nodded his head. Her cute face made up for how much she talked. "Yes, I did meet her. She's really nice."
Kagome got up to stand, "You must be really hungry, do you think you can find her and tell her to come here?" Shippo dashed out of the room before you could say kami-sama. "Woah, I've never seen him act like that before." She shook her head and sat back down in Sesshoumaru's lap. He gladly accepted the warmth of her body.
"Hey, I got an idea! How 'bout Shippo stay out and help us look for the shards? It'll be fun! Please." She gave him a sad puppy-dog look. He kissed her and nodded yes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shippo and Sesshoumaru were walking down the halls in silence. Sometimes Shippo would look in Sesshoumaru's direction, hoping it would go unnoticed. But it didn't. He was well aware of the kitsune looking at him.
"You're not using Kagome are you?"
" No"
" Then why do you have her here?"
".."
"Well?"
"That is none of your business, little one. But if you would like to know, she's here because I want her here, also because she wants to be."
Shippo thought about the information that was just given to him. 'Wait a minute, so he.' Sesshoumaru observed the kitsune, but he wasn't surprised when he asked:
"Do you love Kagome?"
"Hai."
There was a moment of silence, but Shippo broke it, "Well you better not break her heart like that stupid brother of yours did. If you do, I'll. I'll gnaw your ears off, understand?"
Sesshoumaru couldn't help but smile. ' So, the young one has something in him.' He stopped at a door,
"I assure you, no harm will be done. Here's your room. Rin is next door. Oyasami nasai."
After bathing, he retired to his bedroom to find Kagome fast asleep, adorning one of his yukatas and hugging his pillow. He replaced himself for the pillow, then quietly fell asleep in the arms of his love.
'She never responded to my confession.'
