Chapter 13:
Previously:
Sesshoumaru halted only to give orders before he left again. "Jaken, Rin is to sleep in the cave with you." Rin looked up with teary eyes. He momentary looked down, "Rin stay here. Jaken don't leave this her side till I return." With that he turned and left the cave bounding for the spring again. 'Now to deal with a nuisance. But why is she here alone? I'll ask her before I kill her for trespassing.'
Now continuing:
Sesshoumaru made it back to the spring in no time. He had to know why she was so deep in his lands and alone yet this time he would confront her instead of spying like a scared child! It wasn't his way nonetheless he had to smirk at the attempt the human girl to find him in the forest……. 'Did she expect someone to spy on her where they could be seen. Hmph, honestly the human race have no intelligence and me lowing myself to watch a human wench, my brother women at that, …..grrrrr it is a family curse, That has to be the reasons for such foolish actions!'
Noticing her sleeping form, he moved to the side of the spring, sitting down to awaiting her awake and taking in her features with keen details. 'I could drown her, but then this visit would be in vain He continue to look upon her' Her body moved signaling her welcoming back into the world or reality. Sesshoumaru move immediately into a secure location of hiding, mentally cursing himself for reacting in such a way. 'I am cursed for wanted a human body in such a way! What could my father have done to get such an obscene curse placed upon his heirs!' Kagome awoke sitting up stretching causing Sesshoumaru's eyed to fixate on her more examining her curves of her being longing to do a physical examination on her. He smirked at the thought of her reaction of his examination.
Kagome came to blinking to grip her surrounds. Taking in that she was in water and trees and rocks claimed the area she quick realized she fell asleep, taking a deep sigh she sat up stretching letting a yawn escape her body yet some thing disturbed her. Immediately stopping see gazed the area for someone. Unconsciously she moved to the middle of the spring continuing her search feeling the presents of eyes still upon her. Mental she growled knowing that someone was out there watching her and she had no clue to whom it was. That is when she saw it. A patch of grass was pressed down around nice dew touched grass near the shore where the person or demon had full view of her. She became more agitated moving to the shore and pressing down on a spot of up sprung grass and removed her hand. Glancing back and forth from the larger spot and her own proving further someone had been there watching her just who! Kagome looked further noting the footsteps that led in to the spot and then no more indicating the figure had to be able to jump a distance to hide….meaning her spy was a demon. Her mind filed through what demon could watch her instead of waking her only finding two that would do so. Kouga wouldn't leave for his ignorance would make him continue to gaze upon her body plus he would stay and protect her seeing how she was alone and nude. Leaving only one that would do so and it fit him to hide when caught doing wrong. She ducked in the water covering her chest with her arms glaring into the darkness. 'How could he. He had Kikyo and left before I could sit him! Well maybe not left…' Her eyes moved to the nearest patch of trees. '…maybe he is still here.' She looked down making sure he couldn't see her body before looking back to the trees smiling or more so smirking. "I know you are there, come out you pervert! I swear you've been around the monk too long!" Her tone was angry and chiding, but now she was beyond steamed at Inuyasha's actions. 'I swear he'll never be able to stand straight again. That damn hanyou doesn't know what will hit him. Chasing Kikyo then staring at me for god knows how long !' She couldn't help but imagine the dog demon plastered to the ground making a crater with each passing sit. Her smirk transformed into a evil grin as she waited for his comply.
Sesshoumaru was snapped from his daydream of the examination (^_^*) and his stare on her as he realized what she had said. 'Well she knows I am here..no point in hiding like my half breed brother would. But who is this monk she speaks of?' He sniffed the air almost unnoticeably catching the smell of anger and sadness emit from her. He shrugged and leapt from the tree branch the concealed him.
All she saw was something jump out to fast to get details but something come out none the less. Her smirked widen. 'Humph, see how he enjoys this!' She stood up closing her eyes and let the word vibrate from her with all her voice behind it, her hands fisted at her sides adding more force to it. "SIT!". In taking a breath she opened her eyes waiting for the figure to smash into the ground beneath him. It never came shocking her, even more disbelieve entered her being when Sesshoumaru landed gracefully on the springs border. The side of Sesshoumaru's lips tugged upward as she gasped and took a step back.
Kagome flustered as her world spun around her, "Sess…Sesshou…maru?!?!"
Sesshoumaru sat in the same spot looking at her shock stricken body sake lightly with confusion. Raising a brow slightly at her slightly he questioned her, "Sit?". Kagome took it as a order sitting in the shallow waters that merely came up to her breast. Kagome covered herself more tightly, hugging herself while keeping her eyes glued on the western lord causing him to chuckle lightly if at all.
Kagome herself was taken aback and more dazed at why she complied but she didn't really know what to do. He would kill attack her if she didn't right? Her mind didn't know what to think but the tone he said it in wasn't stern or commanding. 'I have had to hear it wrong! He wasn't actually asking why I said sit? Why would he? And he was the one watching me? Oh gods! He was! But why when he tried killing me and Inuyasha so many other times?'
"What- what do you want?" Her voice strained to sound mad and strong but with no luck. Shock stayed plaster to her in every way and shone perfectly with confusion upon her face. Sesshoumaru on the other hand was calm and collected, his face the usual slate of nothing. He came here to ask her questions and needed her to answer not that he inwardly wasn't having fun. He in took a breath through his nose finding her scent had change and she was now confused and worried only increasing with his unmoving eyes on her. Kagome's eyes never left his waiting for a attack or something to come and her mind scream to run but she was planted, frozen still and open to anything Sesshoumaru had planed for her which worried her all the more. This didn't go unnoticed by the demon sitting in front of her, actually he was quite amused at her attempts at standing to him but he had enough of the games.
He turned serious thinning his eyes ignoring her question not one to talk much even to the other demon lords he was quite and mindful keeping things short and to the point. "What are you doing my, Lord Sesshoumaru's, lands and why is my brother's bitch here alone?" His tone was cold cut and slapped down with a tone that he would be answered.
Unluckily Kagome was one with her own mind from another time taught not the respectability for demons of any kind. Why did she have to learn after all, she had Inuyasha on a rosary and Kouga head over hills for her. Those to factors put to strong demons behind her giving her safety …….Just one problem, they weren't here now. Her mind raged and all confusion slipped away leaving a wild ire in its spot. 'oooo Inuyasha's bitch! Inuyasha's bitch! I am NOT Inuyasha's bitch!!! I am not his AT ALL and wont be insulted by his brother in such a manner!' Kagome growled mental at the intolerable demon that would piss her off more on top of what his BROTHER did. She stood uncaring storming to her cloths fisting her hands and clenching her jaw, her mind running rapid on her thoughts of the two brothers comparing them far to closely for her well being but her mind couldn't process that now. No, the two had ticked her off and were acting so similar in doing so. She put on her underwear and bra following her skirt holding her tongue from the 'Al mighty' Sesshoumaru but to no avail. Her rage boiled over not even allowing the presents of her shirt on her being before she moved to venting on the offender. She marched over to him standing at his side leaning so her words went straight in his ears. Sesshoumaru looked at the girl from the corners daring her to do so with his same mask upon his face void of any emotions. "Inuyasha's bitch!?!?!", she hissed clenching her fist, glaring into him as if he were nothing. But he was nothing to her but a royal pain in the ass as he thought the same of her. (a/n: awww mutual feelings! -sigh I see the love blooming already. Ok, back to the story) " I. AM. NOT. INUYASH'S. BITCH.", Her voice strained and shaped each syllable gritting out the words with a loud pitch resembling a growl. " How dare you eve…" She was cut short by a rather peeved Sesshoumaru grabbing her throat, slamming her against a tree and sustaining her there by her throat at eye level with him in less then a mere millisecond shocking her into disarray.
Kagome's hands shot up to his wrist trying to pry his hand from her throat while clenching her eyes shut and her muscles tensed. Salty beads seeped from her closed eyes unable to hold them knowing that this was a fruitless try to escape his hold though she wasn't going to give up only plucking at Sesshoumaru's bearings. His grip tighten causing her to gasp more for what life she had left. " You dare speak to me as if this Lord Sesshoumaru were no more than a servant." He rumbled from low in his throat. Kagome automatically shook her head clasping his wrist cracking her eyes letting more tears free and her eyes shining with apologetic bases. Sesshoumaru loosened his hold on her throat purely holding her there. Kagome in took a breath of well needed oxygen loosing her hold on his wrist as well. Sesshoumaru now having thinks under control at measurable cost masked his face showing no sign of anything proceeding for his answers again. "This Sesshoumaru wont ask you again. Answer wench I grow weary of your games." His hand clenched causing her to wince. Kagome teared more not wanting to address such a matter or speak of it. That is why she came out to the middle of now where, to forget it. Her fear changed to that of grieve and sadness knowing well enough she had to tell him or die. His hand clenched and loosened again bring her attention back to his dark golden orbs of coldness not letting anything read into him demanding answers from her. Their eyes locked onto one another's before Kagome looked down more tears threatening her, something she didn't want Sesshoumaru to see while explaining this knowing he would read every thought and emotion that fled through he mind. Kagome braced herself clasping her hands tighter over his wrist preparing herself to start the intriguing tail in as few words as possible.
Sesshoumaru understood this action and waited patiently. He draw in her scent unobtrusively finding her appealing sweet scent lingered with that of a salty water. His eyes still gazed as if she was looking up. Her lip quivered for a couple second before her weak voice made its presents. It was so low that humans would not hear the inaudible speech but Sesshoumaru's keen hearing heard it clearly, down to the cracks in her voice like a static rumble laced at the edges of it.
