Chapter 15: FLUFFY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!
Previous:
He accepted the answer giving her curt nod dishing out the next question, " Where are you going and what are your plans?" Kagome's eyes widened her mind crashing with thoughts of her friends, Inuyasha, and how she was a shard hunter.. but what was she going to do and where was she going to go?
Continuing On:
Kagome mind swirled with thoughts produced by his double question. She had thought of it. She was in this time to shard hunt with her friends and Inuyasha.. But without them, how was she to fight the demons and gain the shards. Her eyes glazed over, tears unwillingly fighting their way to show her grief in this whole situation. She strained and pushed herself to keep her eyes facing him and her head up slowly losing will to care if she followed Sesshoumaru's rules . 'I want to continue this quest and complete the jewel. How will I do this without my friends.. even if I went back to my friends I would have to be with Inuyasha and I don't want to see him. He chose Kikyo!' She didn't have a straight answer to give and she wasn't able to answer. In anguish, heartache and maybe even disappointment for not being able to supply an answer to the youkai Lord she tore her head away. No sooner feeling his finger under her chin, she knew whose it was and why it was there, so in hopes of having her face pulled up to meet his she angrily answered, "I don't know". She didn't care at this point she wasn't going to look at Sesshoumaru crying her eyes out, letting him read through her saddened eyes into all her thoughts that pledged her with no answer to them.
Sesshoumaru was getting irritated and infuriated that the human wasn't obeying his wishes and had to restrain from growling at the displeasure and disapproval commencing her action. His finger lifted her head feeling her jaw clench, finally seeing her eyelids clasped together firmly trying to stop the uninvited tears from streaming down her cheeks. A futile gesture, the droplets of pain seeped through her eyelids, her eyes not able to contain them sending them down her soft pale cheeks. Sesshoumaru sensed this sorrow and had no reaction for it until a tear dropped onto his palm. His hand instantly recoiled, Kagome's head fell. Kagome fisting her hands in her lap at the weakness she was showing wanting no more then to get up and run. She knew he could tell she wanted. Also she knew somewhere deep inside her head his answer would be no. Sesshoumaru placed his hand in his lap the tear dried but still felt as though it burned within his skin and left a scar that would never leave. The air grew heavy around them, the silence pledging and beating at both of them giving a feeling of eternity.
Kagome lifted her head to meet his gaze still cold and unreadable. Her tears now silently strolled over her cheeks. " Please Lord Sesshoumaru, May I go now?", her body felt weak and her voice gave him that knowledge. His gaze never faulted or changed reassuring her thought, his answer not needed. 'No, of course not' was all that rung in her head. She sighed lowing her head her eyes turning empty staring off. Sesshoumaru controlled his anger. She may have not been following the rules he set but her ways wouldn't matter, she wasn't going to disobey him totally. Sesshoumaru was confused and surprised that he wasn't going to do anything about her disobedience, but nonetheless he kept his gaze upon her cruel and cold not showing his confusion to his own actions. "Where will you go?", he almost smirk knowing she had now where to go or anyone to go to. She was free for the moment to take his precious time. ( hehe ^_^ can you say Sesshoumaru is high on himself? lol I can and will try the best to keep him that way. I'm so ebil ^-^ hehehe)
Kagome realized his taunt and looked up her eyes in slight shock as her tears slowed. Her voice strong once again, " I don't know". Sesshoumaru eyes settled on hers making sure to keep her gaze, she'd try to read into his eyes only reassuring that. "Then you know the answer. As for where to go I will provide the answer.", Sesshoumaru now knew he had lost his mind. Uncaring to her answer or reaction he continued, "You shall stay with this Sesshoumaru and keep Rin company.", her eyes widened somewhat as he words continued, "You'll answer the rest of my questions without tears or disobeying me." Kagome nodded once ready for more questions her eyes dried settling her thoughts from the last question. "You collect pieces to the jewel. Where are they now?"( You know what? I just remembered kagome is shirtless. O.o;;;; How many of you all remembered that? ^_^;; now that I have pointed out Kagome is only in her bra and skirt back to the story)
Kagome was shocked, her mind that was once pondering who Rin was and why he invited her to stay with him now switched completely focused on why he would want to jewel shard and what he was planning. Kagome knew she couldn't lie, he would see right through it. " They're.. They are…", She fell silent not know weather she should answer or not.
Sesshoumaru's eyes thinned his glare intense, " Where are they?". Kagome stubbornly stayed quiet. Her cheek throbbed once reminding her of the chance she was taking by doing so, her glare matching his. Sesshoumaru growled low his anger building fast. His hand moved to her neck, his fingers sliding around it holding it. Still she wouldn't answer furthering his irritation. His grip tightened pulling her closer, her face mere inches from his. He refused to ask again. He just wanted to know where the jewel shards were. Kagome too refused to tell her own anger for protecting the jewel raising. (It is hard typing this story while listening to Whats your Fantasy by Ludacris XD " I wanna lick you from your head to your toes" hmm . I want my Ai O.o; And he is going to read this so I am so going to shut up. Ok now where was I ) Kagome too refused to tell her own anger for protecting the jewel raising. " I'm not saying if where they are if you want them.", she hissed out through gritted teeth. Sesshoumaru growled low throwing her back watching as she hit the base of the tree behind her. Kagome knew she messed up seeing him stand taking steps toward her. Her fear kicked in but she was determined not to tell him if he planed on taking them. She instinctively tried moving away only to have her back pressed against to tree. Sesshoumaru kneeled down, his fingers caressing her neck running his sharp claws over her soft weak skin. A grin made his way to his face when she pressed herself more against the tree, her chest raising and falling as her heart beat faster breathing erratic. She dug her fingers into the soil keeping her eyes on his while her fear amplified more, the feeling of his claws tracing her neck not helping knowing he could kill her any moment he pleased. Sesshoumaru smelt her fear, but had to admit she wasn't a normal human or she was just uncaring to losing her life. " Kagome, is it? This Sesshoumaru can kill you very easily but you persist in trying my patience and disobey me. Do you really want to die when this Sesshoumaru is trying to help you?" Kagome shuddered and closed her eyes as his claws raked harder against her neck. Sesshoumaru smirked smelling her fear mingle with excitement, admitting in his mind to enjoying this as well. Kagome quickly caught herself in her opening her eyes looking at his amused golden orbs as she took a deep breath getting a hold of all thoughts. She glared as his eyes glinted with more amusement reaching up taking his wrist in her hand, pushing it into chest removing it from her neck as she finally pushed all thoughts and feelings he caused to the back of her mind. Her voice turned serious, " Help? How is knowing where the shards are helping and why would you, my enemy, Inuyasha's brother, help me?" her glare showed her antagonism.
Sesshoumaru turned sadistic and cruel once more, void of anything swearing mentally he said he would be the one asking the questions. This time he would make a acceptation, if he was going to get any further with his questioning he would have to explain some elements of his reasoning. Thoughts had entered his mind since he found her alone, one just happened to stick within his mind and decide to follow through feeling it was the best choice.( So sorry got stuck had a friend type the beginning of this paragraph so if it sucks sorry ~_~ Now that I am on track let me get to typing )He sat down in front of her removing his hands over his legs looking at her ready to explain the reasons for knowing the location of the jewel shards. Kagome visibly relaxed diminutively (Definition: a small amount), keeping her eyes on his movements unsure of his motives. He understood her looks but didn't care as he begun stating his incentive, "This Sesshoumaru does not wish the jewel pieces for himself. Yet you and I have a common bond.. We both wish hurt upon the half breed though for our own reasons." His eyes thinned at her with annoyance dreading his own words he was about to share, "In spite of that, I know you can not inflict harm upon that disgrace lowly hanyou on your human strength, with that I will help you use the jewel shards along with some of my own powers to make you as this Sesshoumaru is. All I intend in this is harming him. If you decline in this offer I ,of your own accord, will send you to the edge of my lands and you shall leave. To accept this offer, you shall accompany Rin, Jaken, and I until our business is done."( wow generous offer but honestly what is Kagome going to think seeing how it is focused around his wants lol or is it? )
Kagome blink her eyes blank as her mind when to work, ' It all makes since..'. Tilting her head a little to the side, "But that doesn't explain your persistency on helping me..??". Sesshoumaru growled low provoked at having to say more then he wished. The plan would help out both of them in the end, he might not have liked the circumstances but they would both get what they want in the conclusion. "Do you really think you can inflict pain on my brother on your human strength, and if you are stronger you are free to protect yourself and do what you need on your own human." Kagome took this information in one more question on her mind. " Since when did you care to help a human?" Sesshoumaru's eyes flickered red, did this human listen to a word he said, "You won't be human if you wish to follow me in what I offer. We hate the same thing and both seek pain upon him. So where are the shards or shall I take my leave?"
Kagome stared blankly for a few minutes pondering his offer. Sesshoumaru corked a brow the silence giving his answer. He stood looking down at Kagome, " you are only a nights walk from my boarder. This Sesshoumaru will check to see you are off my territory come morning." He turned on his heel heading back to finish the caves where he left Rin with Jaken. His business was done here.
His words hardly heard by Kagome for she was to deep in thought on the offer. She quickly chose her answer returning to the world around her only to see Sesshoumaru's back moving away from her. Straight away, Kagome stood snapping from her consideration totally ready with her respond. She ran to him grabbing his arm making him almost instantly stop turning herself to look at him, " The shards… They're with my shirt over there!", eagerly pointing to her shirt at the lakes edge. Sesshoumaru looked at her, the excitement in all this written bluntly on her face and in her eyes, shifting his eyes to where she pointed before looking back at her raising his brow faintly. He sat down, his eyes unchanging sadistic as Kagome took the hint over enthusiastically ran to her shirt putting it on leaning down picking up the vile containing the jewel shards. Hastily returning to Sesshoumaru kneeling before him holding her arm out before him the vile of shards enclosed with in her hand. He brought his hand forth his hand from his lap placing it beneath hers, Kagome smiled brightly dropping the vile into his hand dropping her hand back into her lap watching his motions. Sesshoumaru carefully removed the lid with a claw, carefully tipping the vile so a single shard fell into his palm. Proceeding to put the lid back on the vile returning it to Kagome. She blinked a few times holding the vile in her hand looking at Sesshoumaru the confusion and bewilderment shining within her eyes. Sesshoumaru took the single shard holding it within two fingers peering at her. "Only one shard is required for this process with the aid of my youkai powers and your miko energy. If you are weak refuse now, this procedure involves pain and can not be undone.", he stated brusquely as facts. Kagome glanced between the shard and his eyes, noting his eyes cold but with a grimace of deep seriousness. " I wish to be stronger and will take the chance I get to do so. But what is going to happen to me and why will it be painful?", worry presented itself with in her voice though her gaze stayed strong.
His fingers pushed the shard within his hand resting his arm at his side once more. " You'll become as this Sesshoumaru is, a demon. A full youkai. As for the pain it will hurt for this Sesshoumaru has to place this.." , he raised his hand showing the shard, "..here." His hand closed holding the shard with in it once more placing a clawed finger over her heart. His look became more serious then cold , his finger still upon her heart, "Another element of this yet is this needs to wish become a youkai and stronger, or it will not work."
Kagome didn't flinch nor object to him touching her this time though he could still kill her just as easily if not more, instead she became more thrilled, " So I'll be stronger then Inuyasha?" Sesshoumaru's eyebrow rose slightly setting his hand back in his lap, "Yes, Maybe stronger then this Sesshoumaru with proper training since you hold miko power in the bounds of your being and protect the jewel shards." Kagome nodded fear taking over, she seen people and youkai alike all use the power of the shards for their wishes, only in the end being killed and the jewel shards collected by herself and Inuyasha, " Sesshoumaru, Will I be evil since I used the shard?". Sesshoumaru blinked showing his shock this time, " If calculations serve me right, you purify the jewel and that power to do so will leave you as now just as a youkai. The jewel shard will be removed after the complete change, so if all information doesn't deceive this Sesshoumaru. No you wont be evil although it would be better suited for what I ask for with this offer."
Kagome's become happier and giddy, hardly thinking moving to his being, wrapping her arms around him in a exultant hug, "He'll be sorry for all he said and done." She laughed quietly with drawing from the one sided embrace sitting down in front of him once more. (ano… does that even count as a embrace? I mean when people embrace one another they both do. O.o oh well.. One sided embrace now back to the story) Sesshoumaru eyes hardened with seriousness, slightly displeased at her child like volatility. Kagome recognized this and calmed herself turning serious, " Ok, I'm ready to become as you are. What do I do first?". Sesshoumaru smirked.
Good cliff hanger no? lol Anyways R&R love yas bye and night
