Demon in my View
If you want a bloody disclaimer, look at Chapter One.
A/N: Hey all -::happy you're reading my story:: You guys, sorry a/b this, but I'm afraid there's gonna be a little oochiness on this chapter. I can't make a Sesshou/Kagome without it, sorry. But don't worry, it won't be that much. Also, sorry about the lack of updates. Lazy bum here.
Chapter Three: Destroying the World
Sesshoumaru blinked as he went outside. It had been four days since he'd seen the light of day. He sniffed once. "There are many mortals here."
Kagome nodded and gave Sesshoumaru a once over. "You know, I think with a few changes, you can pass off as human."
Sesshoumaru looked absolutely repulsed.
"Kagome!" Sota ran over to his older sister. "Where have you - gaa-"
Sesshoumaru picked up Sota by the scruff of his neck. While the boy whimpered, Sesshoumaru hissed, "Oh, what fun. Another human." He dropped Sota, who scrambled to hide behind his sister. Kagome glared. "Sesshoumaru!"
Sesshoumaru shrugged. "Anything with a human taint deserves to die." Another whimper from Sota.
Kagome shooed her brother away. "How dare you. In this world, there are things -" She stopped. She never thought to think what would happen if a modern human met a demon. A war, obviously, with technology and weapons on the human side versus the demon's natural abilities. Maybe a never-ending war."-that can defeat any demon."
Sesshoumaru scoffed, disbelieving.
Kagome, irritated, whispered loudly, "Don't you get it? The world today is awful. There's no sympathy, no diversity, no mercy-" *Kind of like you* "- You would have to completely annihilate the world in order to survive!"
Sesshoumaru started to get annoyed. This was taking far too long, as if this girl actually though destroying the world would be a trouble for him.
Kagome's eyes grew. "How can you not care!" she gasped. Her face showed complete- disgust. "Ugh!" She ran into the house.
Her expression surprised Sesshoumaru. *What does she think I am? A human?* he sounded annoyed in his mind, yet her reaction still-perplexed him.
Sesshoumaru went inside the strange abode of hers, and sniffing, he found his way to her. She was filing through an attic, searching for clothes for him. She held up a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. "Here." She threw them to him, with certain stiffness in her voice.
"Hey," she pointed to his bandage, "Do you want me to change that?"
"No." He unwound the bandage and when it was off, there was no more cut, not even a scratch. "I heal quickly," he told her, admiring how perfectly his arm healed.
"Oh." Kagome felt stupid for a second. So, her putting on his bandage did nothing whatsoever. What a waste of time.
Sesshoumaru saw her expression. "Don't think bad of yourself, human," he said. "Your medicine helped some."
Kagome gave a small smile. *Well, that's as sweet as Sesshoumaru is going to get.* she knew.
Then he turned back to the clothes. "What are these?" he asked.
"Clothes." She winced at his current apparel. "Those aren't.normal anymore."
He glared at her. "How do you put them on?"
Kagome gave a small laugh. "Look at mine. How do you think I put mine on?"
Sesshoumaru stared at her shirt. Kagome immediately felt blood rush to her head. *Eep..*
"Alright, I think I know how now."
Kagome turned around and heard the clank as his accessories hit the floor.
Sesshoumaru quickly put on the shirt. *This is so simple,* he thought. *Much more simpler than my normal clothes.* After shuffling around putting on the jeans, he stood upright. *Interesting.. how comfortable these are.*
Kagome turned around and gave a huge grin. "Wow! You look great!" she squealed. "Hold on." She shuffled through more stuff and pulled out a ponytail holder. "Come here."
She took all of his long, white hair and wound it into a ponytail. She noticed how nice his hair smelled, full of nature, water, and sun. She quickly caught herself before she drifted away in another daydream. *Wake up, Kagome. What about Inu Yasha?* She smiled weakly, remembering the time that he had become mortal, and she got a chance to run her fingers through his hair. But Sesshoumaru wasn't a mortal, just pure demon.
*That's right. Forever a demon.*
She stepped back and smiled. He truly did look human except for his marking and his pointy ears, which could be taken as tattoos and abnormal ears, nothing more. Nevertheless, she said, "You look awesome."
Sesshoumaru sneered. "I look human."
Kagome shrugged. "So, what do you want to do until the well opens again?"
Sesshoumaru shrugged as well. "I don't know, human. Remember, you're the one how 'commanded' me to get out of the well house." His comment had a sarcastic snide about it.
Kagome sat down, thinking. *What is there to do..* Then she realized something. If Sesshoumaru had not wanted to get out of the well house, he wouldn't have. They both knew who was the commanding officer here. So that means he really did want to go out..
Disregarding that, she asked, "Can you eat human food? You must be hungry."
Sesshoumaru gave a thoughtful glance. "I could if I wanted to, but most human food smell repulsive, and they wouldn't sustain me." He gave a breathy laugh. "I don't need to eat, human. I'm not you."
Ignoring his last remark, she said, "Trust me. Here, there are some great places to eat. We can go there now."
Sesshoumaru shrugged.
Kagome looked at her school uniform and sighed. "Come," she said, walking up the stairs into her room. She pulled out some of her clothes. "I'm going to change. There are some sneakers over there for you. You could look around if you want."
She disappeared into the bathroom.
Inside, Kagome sighed. Her body wasn't as perfect as Sesshoumaru's. And, also, he was a demon who absolutely hated humans. So, trying to snatch him would be futile. She sighed again and reached for her t-shirt instead of a slinky top. *Nothing sexy for Sesshoumaru,* she thought, trying to cheer herself up.
Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru looked around. There was something like a thick rug perched on wooden beams. There was a table with several bound pieces of parchment with odd markings on them. Also, a large box with several buttons along the bottom.
Kagome got out of her bathroom as Sesshoumaru was flipping though her algebra book. She grinned. "Hey, let's go."
They walked along a path to the city. Kagome glanced to Sesshoumaru. While he looked all calm and collected, she felt so awkward and clumsy. She stumbled along while he seemingly glided across the floor. *Curse his perfectness!*
"Kagome!" Kagome turned around to see a school friend, Sadako, running towards her. "Hey girl! How you feel-" The girl stopped shortly when she spotted Sesshoumaru. "Who's your friend?"
Kagome wanted to smack Sadako when she saw how repulsed Sesshoumaru looked. "This is Sesshoumaru, Sadako," Kagome replied bitterly.
Sadako's eyes showed no recognition. "Sesshoumaru," she repeated. "Well, nice to meet you." She gave a small bow. Sesshoumaru looked at her with amusement until he noticed Kagome's piercing glare telling him to bow back. Sesshoumaru, disgruntled, bowed and said, "Nice to meet you, too."
As Sadako left, muttering to herself, "I wonder what Hojo would think!", Kagome and Sesshoumaru kept walking. "Is that how you get my brother to do everything for you, by glaring at him?" Sesshoumaru asked, smiling.
Kagome, now completely irritated, spun on her heel. She started yelling, "Listen you.!"
She tripped and started falling. But Sesshoumaru grabbed her arms and pulled her up close to him before she could hit the floor.
Kagome looked at his yellow eyes with certain disdain, but then softened when she saw how, for the first time since she had met Sesshoumaru, they didn't look evil or calculating. "Thank you," she said, dreamily.
Sesshoumaru was shocked by her expression yet again; so surprised, he almost dropped her. She looked so sweet, like she wasn't just saying that to save her skin, which is something most mortals do to him.. but then he saw how pretty she looked without her usual clothes and with makeup on. She had grey eyes, and he'd never seen any of those before.
"You look much prettier now than you usually do," he said, letting go of her.
Kagome looked at him suspiciously. She wasn't sure whether or not to believe him: this was Sesshoumaru. Then she noticed how he hadn't said it as a compliment, really; just a fact. And since it was Sesshoumaru, Inu Yasha's evil half-brother, she didn't really want to be going all googly- eyed, like Sadako had.
But still, she said, "Thank you," and kept walking.
"Why can't we fly there?" asked Sesshoumaru. "It'd be quicker."
"I told you," Kagome growled. "The world today.doesn't see many thing flying around. You're just going have to be accustomed with walking to get everywhere here."
After a moment of awkward silence, Kagome cleared her throat. She pointed to an orange building and said, "Well, the restaurant is right there, anyways," and rushed to the place. Sesshoumaru, aggravated of the thought of being pushed around by a mortal, followed.
Kagome opened the door, and Sesshoumaru took a sniff. The smells were really nice to his nose. He'd never smelled good human food before.
"Come on," Kagome called.
Sesshoumaru took off his shoes, as did Kagome. They entered a room, colored yellow and orange, with transparent orange curtains guarding the door. The middle of the room had a brown table and colorful cushions for them to sit on.
They sat, and Kagome grinned. "What would you like?"
Sesshoumaru looked around the bright room. "This is so strange.. I've never seen one of these before. It smells very good, though."
"Yeah," Kagome beamed. Her happiness was contagious. Sesshoumaru couldn't help but crack a small smile, too. Kagome, so glad that he looked happy, started laughing.
Sesshoumaru was bewildered. How in the heavens did he make her laugh..?
They ordered food, and as it was being prepared, Kagome tried to teach Sesshoumaru how to use chopsticks. He attempted to pick up a straw, but instead knocked over the glass and spilled water everywhere. Kagome giggled, and he glared at her menacingly. But she wasn't looking at him; she was cleaning up the mess he had made.
The food came, and Kagome started eating her meal. She saw the difficulty Sesshoumaru was having. He looked up at her. "What?"
She sighed. Kagome grabbed his hands and his chopsticks and placed them correctly. "This is how you pick up things," she guided his fingers with hers. Sesshoumaru learned, and tried picking up some of his food. He chuckled. "This isn't so hard."
Kagome smiled softly. That was as much of a thank you as she could ever hope from him.
~
That night, Kagome pulled out a giant shirt and sweatpants from the attic. She handed them and a sleeping bag to Sesshoumaru. "Here. You can sleep in the well house, if you'd like."
Sesshoumaru laughed quietly. "Don't worry, human, I don't sleep."
Kagome gave him a puzzled look. "Alright," she shrugged, taking back the stuff. "Okay. Um.. you can go into the woods. But be careful that no one catches you."
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. "Fine." He went outside to leave.
"Wait," Kagome grabbed his elbow. "You mean.. those four days.. you stayed in the well house with nothing to do?"
Sesshoumaru looked indifferent, but said under his breath, "Stupid mortal." He disappeared into the dark forest.
Kagome heard. "Hey! My name's Kagome! Ka-go-me!" she yelled, but didn't get a backwards glance from him.
Kagome sighed with a look of sadness in her face. She clutched the clothes and sleeping bag which still smelled like Sesshoumaru, and went inside to sleep.
~
Sesshoumaru stood, perched on a branch. That human..he'd never met a human like this before.
She had fed him that night..*and I let her. I even made her laugh.* He jumped to another tree. Before that, she had fallen into his arms..*and I caught her,* he scolded himself. He ran his fingers through his hair and broke the ponytail holder. He looked at his clothes. *How odd these apparels are.* He sighed. *I left my normal clothes with her.*
Then he remembered the most unnerving part of the day.
*So what if I destroy the world?* he asked himself. *Survival of the fittest.* He remember how disgusted she looked, like she could never see his face again because of what he said. It was such a shocking look. *I'd never had that look before.* He shuddered. *And never want to see it again.* He stopped his thoughts in amazement. *Is the great Sesshoumaru becoming weak? Of course I'd destroy the world.* He remember years ago.. Many in mortal terms..was it around half a century ago? *Inu Yasha was once strong, too* Sesshoumaru recalled, *But he fell in love with mortals..
That must never happen to me.*
