Kagome walked silently down the path, lost in thought. It had already been five days since Shippou and herself had left the villlage.. and had only retrieved one shikon shard in the whole time. They were in the midsts of a dark forest, traveling down an narrow overgrown road and any confortation with a youkai might turn dangerous. But she was sure of herself, and Shippou depended on her now.
"Kagome..." Shippou said looking up at her from his cradled spot in her arms.
"Yes Shippou?" She said looking down at him. His nose wrinkled involuntarily as he said,
"I smell something coming towards us... a youkai.. and a human..."
Kagome nodded. She set the pup on her shoulder, and readied her bow and arrows. Only she wasn't ready to shoot so quick as she used to have been.
She was still watching out for her guardian.
Kagome was so intent on the oncoming danger, she didn't notice the snake youkai in the trees following her, until it was to late.
"Diiiee!!!" It hissed, as it lunged at her. She turned, wide-eyed....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru sensed an aurora ahead of them with strong spiritual powers, but wasn't worried about it. Rin walked beside him, with Jaken behind her on foot. The monk wouldn't stand a chance even against Jaken so their was nothing to worry about.
They kept walking in silence, when suddenly an familiar cry reached their ears.
"AAAIIIEE!!!!!!"
A girl?
They rounded the corner and revealed a girl standing in a glowing dome of blue power, a snake youkai circling it hungrily.
The snake turned to him, seemily surpised at the way it suddenly bowed its head.
"L-lord Sssessshoumaruuu!!" It hissed.
"Leave." He ordered coldly.
The snake hissed, licking at the girl once before slithering in to the bushes.
Sesshoumaru turned his gaze back to the girl.
She hadn't dropped her sheild.
She had turned to him, as he noticed she held a small youkai in her arms.
"Lord Sesshoumaru." She said evenly in respectful tones.
His eyes narrowed.
"Do you know me?"
The sheild blocked her scent and it was beginning to annoy him.
"Yes."
He resisted the urge to growl at her vagueness.
"How."
It wasn't a question.
It was a command.
One that Kagome had every intention of ignoring.
"I've battled you before."
Kagome grinned as his eyes narrowed. She was deffiantely pushing her luck, but she had to let off some of her steam.
And this was the absoulute perfect way.
She thanked her lucky stars for the sheild to protect her from his wrath.
"I've been in many battles wench. Be more pacific." He stated.
"Why do you wish to know?" She shot back.
He growled, but before he could say anything Jaken cut in.
"Do not be impertant wench your speaking to a lord!!"
She snorted.
"I know full well to whom I talk to toad."
"You--!!" He began but a youmg girl suddenly raised her elbows on the toads head, smiling happily at the glowing woman in the dome, brown eyes shining.
"Wow that is pretty!! Rin likes the blue thing around the pretty lady!!" She giggled.
Kagome stared at the girl, smiling as well.
"Thank you Rin-chan."
The girl gasped, slamming her hands down on the toads head now. Hopping back and forth on her feet in a small jig.
"Pretty lady know Rin's name!! Do Rin know you? Does Sesshoumaru-sama know pretty lady? Are you Rin's new okaa-san?"
Kagome's eyes widened.
Her...? and Sesshoumaru....?
Her sheild faultered, as Shippou grinned at Kagome's blush.
"Uh.. no Rin-chan. I'm just passsing through." She said in embarassment.
Sesshoumaru noticed the sheild faulter, and without hesitation, slashed at it with his claws.
The sheild shivered, then became still..
Before it shattered like glass.
The girl didn't flinch, only grinned.
"So you figured how to break it. Took you longer than I expected.. But broke it nonetheless." She said. The sheild dissapeared, and all of them finally got to see her face.
She had long waist length raven hair with sparkling blue eyes.
"Kagome!! Onee-san!!" Rin shouted.
Kagome laughed. nodding.
"Yes.. That's me."
Seshoumaru glared at her coldly. How was this GIRL able to create such a feild of magical power?! Inu yasha's wench for that matter. It did explain how she knew him though.
"What are you doing her wench and where is my half-breed brother?" He asked coldly.
Her smiled faded slightly, as her back straightened in tension.
"I am not traveling withthem at the moment." She said stiffly.
Sessshoumaru just look past her in boredom.
"Well it is not matter to me. Rin, Jaken lets go we still have a important mission to complete.."
He breezed past the girl, Rin skipping behind him when suddenly he felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked down at the girl that had clutched his shirt roughly.
"Let go." He said harshly. Her eyes only became more determined.
"Wait have you met anyone else on the road here?" She asked quietly. Maybe Sesshoumaru had seen her guardian!
Sesshoumaru's gaze hardened.
"Why do you ask wench..:?"
"W-well... um..." she stuttered, blushing. He snorted.
"If I met anyone on this road.. he is most likely dead."
She looked up at him in horror.
"What?! No you couldn't have!" She cried, her grip tightening on his shirt. A small kitsune floped across her shoulder sleeping.
He growled, shoving her to the ground, as her hands fell free from his sleeve.
She felt hard on her buttocks, letting out a short gasp of shock.
"I have no time for you wailing girl. I am in a hurry. You are lucky you still live." He hissed coldly.
She didn't get up, her head was lowered, and his nose picked up the faint smell of salty tears.
She was crying.
Sesshoumaru moved hie gaze to her hands to where she was gripping something tightly between her fists.
"What is that you hold?" He said. She shook her head, standing up. Why'd she even bother trying? She was SURE he still lived! He had to be!
She sniveled, and turned her back bravely on him.
"Why do you care? I'm in a hurry so farewell!" She said loudly, still not releasing her grip of the object.
She got some distance staring down at the thing in her hands, before she felt a sharp pull on her shoulder, swing her around to face a angry youkai lord.
~~
Sesshoumaru was appalled at her behavior. Either she was incredibly brave.. or incredibly stupid. Either way she was dead.
He swung her around. Not immediately clawing her for the sake of Rin, until she faced him fully, fear evident in her face. He looked down at the what she was holding in the palms of her hands. Attached to a silver chain was a small single pendant with a sapphire heart attached to it.
Wait..
That pendant looked familiar..
it looked like his own earring the girl from his dream gave.. him.
His eyes almost widened in surpirse.
"This.. girl was the one from his dreams?
After all this time, he had known her all along.
It was ironic.
All the things she had said, so baffling to him earler all fit together now. Her adoptive pup still asleep on her shoulders. Her friends might be dead. That was why she wasn't traveling with them right now...
Suddenly she closed her hands around the jewel, as if protecting it from him.
He growled.
"Who is it your looking for?" He managed out.
She looked surprised, but gave no insults only,
"A-a man I met a few times.. I don't know his name, only that he had the most beautiful golden eyes.." She sighed in despair.
As Sesshoumaru was taken aback.
'Beautiful eyes?' She though he had beautiful eyes?! Who did this girl think she was?!
Only.. she didn't know who HE was....
He snorted.
"Stupid wench.." He muttered
"I heard that.." She growled.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin voice said quietly. They both turned to look at her. Her feet were turned in, wiggling her toes, as she stared down at them shyly.
"Yes Rin?"
"Um... can onee-san comw with us until her friends come back?"
Sesshoumaru thought about it. Then shook his head.
"No..."
Rin sighed defeated, before he finished his sentence
".... there is no need. We are going back to the castle now." He turned and started walking away, only with a breif,
"Come."
Kagome stood still confused until a small hand slipped in to hers.
"Onee-san lets go! Sesshoumaru-sama gets mad at Rin when she falls behind!"
Rin started tugging at Kagome's hand.
Kagome stuttered.
"B-But I can't go! i have to--"
she felt something warm and fluffy wrap around her waist lifting her off her feet. She gasped realizing it was the Western lord's tail.
"Hey put me down you--" She said angrily. But Sesshoumaru didn't bother looking at her when he cut in smoothly.
"You will come with us."
Kagome knew there was no room for argument but couldn't help muttering,
"An inu with a stick up his ass.. great.."
Sesshoumaru heard. He didn't know what the phrase meant, but he had a feeling it was meant as an insult. He had enough dignity to ignore it though and continued walking.
The girl shifted the kitsune into her arms, cradling it comforting as Rin danced around her humming some meaningless song.
She sighed. There was no way of getting out of this so she might as well get the best out of it. She smirked.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"Yes..?" He said after a minute of hesitation. Her grin widened.
"Can I call you fluffy?"
Jaken's face turned a sickly orange in horror, as Rin squealing singing "Fluffy-sama! Fluffy-sama!" over and over again. Sesshoumaru only replied with a deffinant
"No."
She held back a laugh.
"Spoil sport."
