Third Warrior



So for another week, Kagome spent her time with Kurama and Sesshoumaru. Though

Sesshoumaru did this out of duty, but what did you expect of him? "Sesshoumaru, can't you

lighten up?" pleaded Kagome.

"No." replied Sesshoumaru, as Kagome sighed. She grabbed Kurama's hand and pulled

him to a stand selling fresh roses.

Kurama picked up a rose and sniffed it. "Freshly picked." he stated. He paid for some,

and handed it to Kagome. Kagome smiled, while Sesshoumaru looked totally bored.

***

~At the palace~

Kagome, Kurama, and Sesshoumaru were summoned by Emperor Enma, and quicky

arrived back. The emperor took a seat on his throne, and began to explain things. "The priestess

of Suzaku, and Seiryuu are headed toward Genbu's area to get the shinzapo. Go help the one that

will not attack my empire."

"Which one would that be?" asked Kagome.

"I don't know, you have to find out for yourself. I don't want war, and I do not wish to

lose my empire either. Side with the peaceful one. If both want war, then don't side with either."

finished the emperor. "You may also want to collect your remaining warrior during this trip."

"Yes." replied Kagome, as the three of them got ready.

~Next day~

Kagome was having problems getting onto the horse. Kurama chuckled from behind, as

Sesshoumaru just smirked, and looking very amused. "Humph." sighed Kagome. "It's not my

fault we don't travel by horses in my..." Kurama had lifted Kagome onto the horse before she

could finish.

Then he lifted himself up, and sat behind Kagome, and grabbed the reigns. Sesshoumaru

got onto his own horse, and they were off. Kagome and Kurama chatted the whole way, while

Sesshoumaru remained quiet.

"Watch it!" yelled a girl, as she was almost run over by Sesshoumaru.

"Then you should have looked." replied Sesshoumaru coldly.

"Hey, you bastard! Apologize!" yelled the girl.

"Wen..." Sesshoumaru was cut off, when Kagome jumped off the horse and ran to the

girl. Kurama quickly got off and followed.

"Sango!" cried Kagome.

"Kagome, you got away! That's great!" cried Sango.

"You know her?" asked Kurama calmly.

"Yeah, she saved me before." replied Kagome, as Kurama smiled. Sesshoumaru glared at

Sango angrily, but didn't say anything. Not long later, everyone was siting in a restaurant. (Is this

what you called them? I only know the Chinese term.)

"Sango, it's so good to see you again." stated Kagome happily. Then they went on and

discussed other things. Kurama just listened patiently, as he sipped on his tea, and ate some

snacks. Sesshoumaru spent his time glaring a hole through Sango's head.

"I think Sesshoumaru likes you." whispered Kagome, as she giggled.

"What!" yelled Sango, as both Sesshoumaru and her jumped up. Kagome giggled even

harder.

"Sesshoumaru never stared at one girl this long!" joked Kagome, knowing full well that

Sesshoumaru was glaring.

"Your right." added Kurama, who had also caught on. "In all the years I've spent with

Sesshoumaru, he has never spent this much time staring at one girl!" Sesshoumaru turned his

glare on Kurama, and clenched his fist.

"It would be wise to keep your mouth shut." whispered Sesshoumaru menacingly.

Kurama smiled, and took another sip of tea. Kagome just shook her head, and tried to clam the

hysterical Sango down. "Listen wench." murmured Sesshoumaru. "I do not like you, at all!"

"As if I like you!" retorted Sango, as she slammed her fist down on the table, and

cracking it in half. Kurama acted as if nothing happened, and continued sipping his tea.

Sesshoumaru continued t glare at Sango, and Sango glared back. No one noticed that Kagome

had left.

~Kagome's POV~

Wow. It's heating up in there, better get away. This is definitely more interesting that

going to school everyday. I smiled, as another loud crash was heard. "Please stop wreaking my

restaurant!" came the loud whine of the owner.

I quickly covered my ears, as another loud crashed echoed out. Suddenly I felt a pair of

hands cover my mouth. I struggled, but it only tightened it's grasps. "What is a pretty girl like

yourself doing all alone?"

I bit down on his hand, and screamed. "HELP!" He quickly slapped me, and my mouth

began bleeding. Soon his gang appeared, and started pushing me against the wall.

"Hirakotsu!" yelled Sango, as she threw a really huge boomerang.

"Rose whip!" yelled Kurama, as he slashed with his whip of thorns. Sesshoumaru had

drawn his sword, and was easily slicing though everyone. My eyes caught sight of Sango, as a

white Chinese symbol glowed on her neck.

When they took care of all the thugs, they came toward me. "Are you okay?" asked

Kurama, laced with worry, as he began checking for wounds. Sesshoumaru remained stoic, but

his eyes shone with worry. Sango bit her lips, and kept apologizing.

"You're the third warrior?" I asked, pointing to her sign.

"I am?" asked Sango.

"Yes, you are." confirmed Sesshoumaru. "Guess I'll have to put up with her." Kurama

smiled, after seeing that I was fine.

"What do I do?" asked Sango.

"You come with us." I replied. "And help us find the remaining four warriors."

"Sure, since their isn't anything better to do anyway." replied Sango, as she smiled. "Now

we can spend more time together!"

"We didn't give you a choice." added Sesshoumaru coldly. "You had to come." Sango

rolled her eyes, and chose to ignore Sesshoumaru.

When we were ready to leave, we had a problem. "Guess you can share a horse with

Sesshoumaru." stated Kurama innocently.

"Hey!" yelled Sango. "Why him?"

"Easy." I stated, as I smiled. "One, it would look weird to have to guys share a horse.

Two, I enjoy Kurama's company. Three, you two can argue better!"

"WHAT!" yelled Sango, as Kurama and I quickly took off. Kurama and I laughed as

Sango grudgingly got onto Sesshoumaru's horse.

"So does this mean you like Kurama?" taunted Sango. She just had to get me back,

doesn't she? Kurama and I blushed a dark crimson, and chose to ignore that question. "Hey!

Answer me!"

"I will!" I replied. "The day Sesshoumaru proposes to you!"

"Why you!" yelled Sango. So the group of three changed to four. The appearance of

Sango really made the group much more fun.
