This is a little fic that I started about the anime InuYasha. I really like
the anime, not to mention I have all the episodes from 1 to 79 o_O Yes.
Hehe, I love them and watch them a lot. Anyhow, back to the story. This
chapter concerns Kagome and Sesshoumaru for a little bit, but mostly it
favors Inuyasha and well himself, but I'm not sure what twist I'll give it
and who will end up with whom! I don't own anything from InuYasha although
I'm very very jealous of Rumiko. ^_^ She has the best guys around her all
the time, even though they are in her mind. :P
I really appreciated those of you who reviewed, and left such demands for me to write another chapter. I'm sorry that it took me so long, but time consumes a lot of what I have left of every day.
Shichan - I update as much as possible Shichan, I try to put one up every week or so. I'm not sure how long I'm going to draw this one out. I'd like it to go as far as it can. :) I'm not sure if it will be a Sess/Kag story or not.. as I said in the last chapter. :) I might make it something interesting. ^_~
SwtxLilAzngrl - I'm glad you thought my story was interesting. I like hearing comments like that. Don't think I will give up hope.. if anything time will consume me, and I will forget to write more. @_O Believe that as long as I can remember too, I will keep writing... so just keep checking back weekly or as much as you like for new updates or more information. :) I will put up an authors note when I'm about ready to post pretty soon. :) So check back is all I can say...
Without further Adieu, I present to you Chapter Three...
----------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha: Peek-A-Boo!
Kagome woke up the next morning, having fallen asleep on the enormously huge bed sitting off to the right side of the room. Draperies hung from hooks in the ceiling that went all the way around the bed. It had the look of a canopy bed, but without the canopy. The sheer fabric of the draperies would make it easy to spy inside at whom was sleeping.
She rubbed her eyes, to focus them so that she could see more. When they first focused, she had thought she was back in her time, sleeping in her own bed. Seeing that the room was very much different from hers, she suddenly remembered where she was and groaned slightly.
"How do I always seem to get myself into these things?" she spoke to herself, shoving the sheets down to the end of the bed.
She was startled by movement outside of her linen cocoon and froze. The movement came over to the side of the bed, but then she realized it was a very small silhouette. Kagome braced herself for what was behind the fabrics, when a small face appeared. It was that little girl he was housing. The girl looked up at Kagome with serious curiosity as her little mouth hung open i awe.
'The way she's looking at me, you'd think she's never seen another human before.' Kagome thought, before she spoke to the little girl.
"Yes?" she asked.
The girl went wide-eyed and pulled the curtains back to cover her face. Kagome smiled, and sat forward, and pulled the fabric back away so she could see the child again.
"Is there something you want?" she said, grinning at the girl.
The little child smiled up at Kagome, her trust deepening every second.
"Are you Rin's new mommy?" she whispered, as if she was afraid someone else would hear her. Probably she was worried Sesshoumaru would punish her for asking such a thing.
Kagome eyes went wide at hearing what the little girl said. "Your new.. what?!" she spouted, probably a little bit to loud.
The girl hid down by the edge of the bed, and sighed. "I'm sorry... Are you my new mommy?" she asked again, her voice a little higher this time.
Kagome laughed.
"No, I'm not your new mommy. Your caretaker has taken me prisoner!" she stated, folding her arms over her chest in a defiant gesture.
Rin laughed as well, and bounded up on the bed next to Kagome.
"That's okay! If your not my new mommy that is. I can still play with you though" she said, with a smile. "Right?" the girl questioned.
Kagome grinned, thinking she was really going to enjoy the presence of this cute little girl. It astonished her that someone as cold and frigid, as she has labeled him, could take care of such a cute, warm and bubbly girl as this one. 'Rin was her name...' she thought.
"Sure, I guess I could play with you if you want. Although, I'm not sure if Sesshoumaru would agree to such a thing. He's very cold hearted you know." Kagome stated, poking the little girls nose.
Rin looked up at her with confusion. "Sesshoumaru is cold-hearted?"
Kagome was a bit shocked, hearing the girl say this about the lord of the western lands. He was cold, frigid, mean, and cruel among many other things. Rin seemed to look at her as if she was crazy for saying such a thing about him.
'I wonder how he treats this little human girl?' she pondered. 'Does he treat her with equality, unlike the rest of us?'
Questions arose her mind, but about half of them were scattered into the winds, as the person they were talking about made his entrance into the room. She had not really noticed it at first, but he moved slowly towards the bed, and stood outside the fabric draperies that hung about the bed. Kagome couldn't really see him that well, but she was sure that with his enhanced eyesight, that he could see them perfectly.
"Rin..." he said.
The girl jumped up and happily bounded from the bed, and slipped through the fabrics to clasp herself to the demons leg. She pulled on the fabric of his kimono and looked up at him, as a child would when they begged for a cookie.
"Sesshoumaru has brought Rin a new friend?" she asked politely, her smile was like that of sunshine.
The demon looked down at the little girl holding onto his leg, his face showing no emotion at all. Kagome gulped upon seeing this, almost worried he would slash her into shreds at that very second. He did not, however, and looked up from the girl and over to her. She had pulled the fabrics out of the way and her face peaked out, looking over at them. Her eyes met his, and she looked back down to the girl to avoid his gaze.
"What did I tell you about saying that?" he said finally, as his head turned down to look at the girl once more.
Rin made a thoughtful look up at him, and then put her fore-finger to her lips. It seemed as if she was hard in thought, when she suddenly smiled and pulled on Sesshoumaru's clothing once more.
"I remember! I remember!" she said with much exhuberance and then giggled. "Have you brought me a new friend?" she repeated in the correct form.
Kagome giggled slightly, and looked up at the demon Lord. He was starring back at her again. It made her flinch slightly. His eyes narrowed at her, and he nodded to Rin, his eyes looking back down at the little girl. Rin was ecstatic and jumped around, pulling on his clothes, and then bounced over towards the bed and grabbed Kagome's hands.. shaking them about.
"I got it right this time!" she beamed. The little girl was so happy, she bounced her way from the bed, past Sesshoumaru, and right out the door. Kagome and Sesshoumaru could hear her gleeful cries coming down the hallway as they got farther and farther away.
It was silent after a moment, as Sesshoumaru then turned his eyes back upon Kagome. She shivered for a second, the cold chills ran down her spine, and back up into her chest. It felt as if his stare could freeze the very heart within her.
"It was very couragious of you to decide to accept my hospitality." he said flately, no emotion showing as usual. He made no move towards her, but his eyes bore through her.
Kagome swollowed, almost not wanting to reply. She didn't exactly know what to say. Her only reply was a small sigh. Again he narrowed his eyes at her, this time choosing to come closer. Kagome, still sitting upon the bed, instantly backed up inside the silky hideaway.
She knew it wouldn't hide her from him, but it was about the only thing she could think of to distance herself from him.
He was intriqued by her, slightly. Frankly, it was starting to annoy him. He didn't like being intriqued by things such as this. A human, no less, should never even had caught his attention. Althought, here he was, caught. He felt like he was being reeled in slowly, as a fisherman would if the fish took the bait. He flung open the curtains, and watched her clutch the bed post on the opposite side of the bed. There was fear in her eyes. He never intended to make her fear him as her eyes said she did. He stood still.
Kagome clutched the bedpost, near the head-board.
'If he's going to pull me out of here, he's got a fight on his hands. I hope he doesn't intend to hurt me?' she thought, her eyes never leaving his.
When he stopped, she only starred at him. There was something behind his eyes that seemed along the lines of curiosity. It was small, but it was there. His face still showed no emotion what so ever.
'Figures..' she thought.
He looked at her a moment longer, and then turned quietly and walked out of the room.
"Huh?" she whispered to herself. 'What was that for?' she thought inside her head.
She got up from the bed, and ran to the doorway. There was not a trace of him, but a linguering smell. It wasn't a bad smell, it was more fragerant. Like a husky perfume a man would wear for his girlfriend. Kagome inhaled the scent, and as it assulted her nostrals, she remembered exactly who's scent it belonged to. Feeling quite embaressed, Kagome closed the door, and backed up against it.
"Better watch yourself girl. He's got plans..." she whispered, sighing slightly.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru had disappeared down the hall, when he heard her steps towards the door, he ducked into the doorway of a room adjoining the hall. She stood there for what seemed like a few moments, and then took in a large amount of air, and let it all out. He watched her actions.
'Is she sniffing the air?' he thought. The question was "why?" she was doing it. There was a sort of happy look on her face, before she suddenly became startled and closed the door to her room. He cocked an eyebrow, and came back out of his hiding spot of the doorway.
"What was she doing?" he said aloud. He sniffed the air, and could find nothing wrong with it. The only things he could smell, was her own scent, Rin's still linguering scent, and his own.
"Was she picking up on my scent?" he asked himself quietly. That's when he slightly heard her own words....
"Better watch yourself girl. He's got plans..." he heard her say.
He stood there in retrospect for a moment. Trying to remember exactly what he had done to make her believe such a thing. His brows furrowed in confusion, as he turned about and continued on to his previous destination; towards his study.
