A/N: god, to those who complemented me on fast updating, im so sorry...thats only true on weekends...and today when i finally had time to write, i came down with some kinda sickness...heacache and stomachache, kinda feverish, VERY PAINFUL....yea, sorry if my writing suffered a little from it...
oh yea, and to those who dont know why sesshoumaru did what he did, here are the reasons...
1. no matter how demony, hes still a MALE demon
2.kagome actually cared about him, to stop iy from killing him
3. during the time they traveled together, which was about a week(remember? we skipped some time), he grew fond of her, and he enjoyed talking to her
______________________________
Kagome trembled as she walked towards Sesshoumaru. Her body felt so weak.She had to talk to him after a while anyway, there was no reason why she couldn't ask him now, right? "Sesshoumaru, what is it?"she asked plainly. She didn't know how to phrase the question any better, and she didn't want to just come right up to him and ask him why he licked her lips. That was still stunning, just to think about it.
Sesshoumaru moved his head slowly up from the faint remains of the fire, and looked at her expressionlessly. "I thought I told you."
"Well, you told me you were confused, but that's not much, is it?" she asked, doing her best to act annoyed, when all she wanted to do is run into the forest, and hide from him, because she was so uncomfortable while looking him straight in the eye."Tell me what's on your mind, ok? You really don't have any reason to hold anything back, I'm just an insignificant human, what you tell me does not matter, because you can kill me anytime you want, and my opinion doesn't matter. We've been through this a couple of times."
An amused little smile came to Sesshoumaru's lips.
"What's so funny?"Kagome snapped, keeping up her brave act.
"I can smell your fear. Why do YOU feel like you have to hide that from me?"he asked.
Kagome didn't know how to answer to that. She thought her act was effective.And why was she hiding her fear? "Well, it's just natural..." She stated.
He nodded his head down for a second, then looked back at her."You want to know what's in my head, human? At first you must tell me what's inside yours."
The girl didn't like this fairness. But, what reason was there to lie? "I'm starting to feel that traveling with you is more natural than going back to Inu Yasha. I feel like a traitor, and I am confused because even though you hate me, and I'm scared of you, I'm getting attached to you...used to, I mean."She corrected herself quickly, no, attached might be a strong word. "It all makes no sense."
The demon surveyed her through narrow eyes, as if looking through her very being. Was she passing his test? She wasn't lying, and that made her feel strangely revealed.
"Attached?" he asked.
"Used to...I am getting used to you."she said quickly...too quickly. She really sounded like she was in denial.
"Of course." he said, his eyes glinting mockingly.
Kagome glared at him."So, what's on your mind?"
"For a human, you're fairly interesting." he said.
"You don't...you aren't..."ok, so she was EXTREMELY curious about the kiss. Well, it was a kind of a kiss, wasn't it? She didn't know what else to call it. She just had to ask. She had to! Even though her knees were giving away. She didn't even remember standing up. She only then realized that she was right in front of him, looking down at him. Somehow he still managed to make the impression that he was looking down on her."Why did you...kiss me...kind of."she spat out.
Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrows slightly."Instinct, reflex, call it what you want..."
Kagome felt red hot embarassment and anger creep up on her."What do you mean?" she snapped. She just wanted a straight out answer.
Sesshoumaru got up slowly, and walked right by her. Kagome was just about to turn back and yell at him when she felt his presence right behind her. She felt her shoulders grazing the armor on his chest.
"Why did you stop my brother?" He asked quietly.
Kagome wanted to turn around, but that would have meant bumping into him. She wanted to step forward to get away from him, but all of a sudden, she felt like she needed him behind her, as support. It was the first time his presence was something of a protection, instead of a threat. Even if she needed protection from the demon himself. That thought made her head ache. She still needed to answer his question, she realized. "I don't...want you to die...that's all. As I said, I've grown used to you."
"You really care about my well being? If I died, you could have went back to Inu Yasha." he said.
"I...maybe...maybe I am ok with that." she muttered, only to herself. She thought she gave up Inu Yasha when she thought he died. But really, she gave up Inu Yasha the first time she saw him in Kikyo's arms. It just hasn't stopped hurting until then. She still thought about that question Sesshoumaru asked her about a week ago.
'I really don't see what's so horrible. Am I treating you badly, human?'
No. She began to enjoy herself, traveling with Sesshoumaru and Rin. She definitely loved Rin. And Sesshoumaru? He wasn't that bad...Her fear of him developed into something a lot more uncomfortable, yet less distressing. And seeing Inu Yasha again...it really wasn't as wonderful as she thought it would be.
She felt Sesshoumarus move toward her, and press against her back. She leaned back against him, she didn't know what else to do. She felt faint with that uncomfortable and tense feeling again. She felt the demon's hand move on her arm, sliding around her. Her face felt hot and freezing at the same time. What did he want with her? What was he doing? He wasn't trying to kill her...he was too gentle. She let her head fall back against his chest, and felt like she would faint soon, for her lungs didn't seem to function properly.
But then she felt the hand on her shoulder tighten. Sesshoumaru grew tenser, and stepped away from her, smelling the air.
"Naraku" he muttered.
Kagome felt even stranger than before, like she was disappointed. What in the world was happening in his mind? Was he still just mocking her? ...wait...Naraku? "Why is he here?"she blurted out.
