AN: Hey there everyone! Yay! I got way more reviews than I asked for. You
guys are great! I_m so glad you enjoy the story...what_s wrong with you?
Well, I really don_t know what this chapter is going to be about, but I
think it will focus more on other characters besides Kagome and
Sesshoumaru. I know, I know, I_m sorry, but, if I type this right, (I never
have a plan when I type, except for a little foreshadowing in this story)
it will be an important chapter. Ok, please review and send any suggestions
to me at cloverX@cs.com that_d be great. Thanks! Enjoy! Please R+R!
A Twist of Fate*~CHAPTER 6
"Yes, I agree.....no, he_s definitely not the smartest....yes, what do you think he could have done? Hmm....you don_t think so, really.....you say they talked?..well, he is stupid enough to do something like that...I wouldn_t put it past him.....um hm...very dense. I don_t know how she can tolerate him...but that_s not the point...hasn_t come back....where do you think?..." Shippo lay on the floor of Kaede_s hut, drifting in and out of sleep, catching words, clips, and phrases of the conversation taking place across the room from him.
Where was she?
"Yes, I agree...what do you believe we should do, Lady Sango?" "I believe we should wait for Inu Yasha to return. but, first I think you should remove your hand from my leg."
"Oh. I was merely-"
*Bonk*
"Right. We_ll wait for the return of Inu Yasha.
Where_d Kagome go?! What should I do?! Shippo turned his body away from the arguing couple.
"Yes...Inu Yasha, the densest-"
"You better can it, monk!" Inu Yasha walked into the hut. Kaede had not really needed anything of great importance, but Kikyo had found the location of a shard, so they had gone hunting after it. In the end, their trip hadn_t been a successful one.
"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like I_m some criminal? What the hell_s wrong with you guys?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What? She didn_t go down the well?"
"No, Shippo could not sense her ever being near it."
"And she didn_t come back.."
"No."
Inu Yasha jumped into the air, leaving a bewildered Miroku and Sango to watch his form disappear over the trees.
Damn it, Kagome! Why do you always run away! I didn't say anything wrong this time! I wanted to talk to you! What did I say?!
Inu Yasha caught a wisp of a familiar scent.
Maybe she didn't run away..
Inu Yasha increased his speed and arrived at the river, where he had last talked to Kagome, in two seconds flat.
Shippo was right. She had never went down the well. But she was here.
Inu Yasha scanned the ground. Evidence of a slight struggle. Nothing much, just a few shoeprints...shoeprints....and a smell too. A smell that he never liked to smell. A smell that meant bad news for Kagome. Sesshoumaru.
Inu Yasha immediately took to the air.
Stupid! I_m an idiot! No, Kagome_s an idiot! Hell, we_re both not too bright, she washing clothes all by herself, and me, not watching over her. Damn Sesshoumaru! Why the hell is he so bent on destroying me and my friends? Kagome...I hafta find her, before he does anything to her!
He took off, in the general direction of his brother_s scent.
Down below, watching in the grass, Kikyo smiled and sighed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was true. He had been the one watching her. Not Inu Yasha, as the woman had assumed. No, it was him. Lately, he had marked her every move, been wherever she was, her walking, breathing shadow. She hadn_t even noticed anything unusual until a couple months ago and, even then, she had only glimpsed a snag of white from his clothing. Then she had been attacked by that wolf demon. There was somewhat of, what he would only admit subconsciously, a "sick fascination" with the young reincarnated miko. She was more powerful than she looked and she was unlike any other demonesses he had ever seen. She was similar to the old miko but, yet very different. She was.....fascinating to say the least.
He cursed himself for being fascinated with a mere human. He damned himself for letting it go this far. This was a sign of weakness. He could not afford to be thought weak by others. But none else knew of his little "hobby". Plus, he would do away with her after he was done.
She didn_t need to know that he watched her, although he had strong suspicions that she could sense him subconsciously. She didn_t need to know that he still watched her, even now. She was so unaware of her surroundings to a degree that sometimes it was stupid. Yet, other times, she seemed a step ahead of Inu Yasha. He would just wait. She was bound to find out some way or another. Wait. He was patient. Except for when he wanted something.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"He went this direction." Sesshoumaru was walking East. He had given up on the idea of carrying the girl. It put him too close to her. "Come."
"Yes...Fluffy-sama!"
Kagome could see him flinch from there. "How do you know he went this way? I can_t sense his shards."
"I can smell his stench."
"Oh. One of those big bad demon things. Inu Yasha had a great sense of smell too." Kagome was mumbling to herself now. "So, I guess, since you_re a full demon, it would only make sense that you have a really, really, good sense of smell." She really had been mumbling to herself for, the demon with incredibly good smell also had an incredible walking pace and was now at least a hundred yards away.
"Hey! What was that for?!"
"You were lagging behind."
"That doesn_t mean you can just leave me there! You need me!"
"But I do not need you relating myself to that half-wit half demon."
"Come off it, you stiff!!"
Again, the demon lord stiffened, proving her right. He turned to the girl and...was that a smile?!!! That wasn_t a smile!
"You know.."
That was a freakin smile!
"Ok, what_s wrong? What village was burned? Was Inu Yasha killed? Did you find the tetsusaiga? Is Rin here? Why the hell did you smile?"
The demon lord turned away. Why would she refer to Rin?!
"...there was another human woman with Inu Yasha. Perhaps your exterminator friend, but it is not her scent."
Kikyo.
"However, their scent leads up here, then ends."
"They doubled back."
"It would seem so."
"But they weren_t at Kaede_s village."
"No. Inu Yasha had been gone for a time."
"Then-well- what next?" Kagome was too prepared for a we-go-back-and-kill- him-mercilessly-then-take-the-tetsusaiga-plan. But...
"We will return to my castle."
"Hicka?!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AN: Sesshy and Kagome are so cute when they argue. Well, I know, it was kinda boring, but it was important in some plans I have. I hope you guys liked it a little bit, at least. Well, sorry this chapter took so long for me to put out. I had to spread it over three days. Please review and send any suggestions to cloverX@cs.com. Thanks, have a good week. PS. review responses will come when I have time, but for now, I want to get some chapters done.
