Chapter 2
She was embraced tightly. Although Kagome is sure that he did it because he fears that she would run away, for a few seconds, she felt warm. No, what is she thinking? This is Sesshoumaru we are talking about here. He's enemy. She should be making a plan of how to get back to Inuyasha. But for what? Just to say goodbye? And knowing she'll never see him again. Why is this whole thing suddenly so damn complex!
They walk into the big palace of the Lord of Western land's. Much to Sesshoumaru's surprise, the little human female didn't even attempt to run away from him. Without knowing, his strong arm lets go of her. They are in his palace now, so there'll be no point getting her smell all over him.
"Ahh, Sesshoumaru-sama, you are back! Shall I prepare a bath for you.What is this? The hanyou's wench?" The old toad's eyes narrow down at the girl who's trying to gasp for more air.
"Why, do you want me to kill her, my lord?"
"Jaken, you will treat her well. Go get the room next to mine ready. She's for good use."
"But what about the shower, shall I."
"GO!"
The toad doesn't need to be shouted at twice, he runs straight to get the order done.
Seeing the ugly demon runs like hell, Kagome can't stop herself from giggling.
"Come." Sesshoumaru walks on without looking back.
"Damn Fluffy." Kagome whispers to herself. Shippou gave that name to him, in order to make fun of the fluff thing on his shoulder. "Thinks he can order me around like the old toad?" Still, to the fear of losing her life, she follows him while looking around the huge place.
After turning a few times, Kagome lost herself. 'Great, now I probably can't find a way to escape from this place!'
Sesshoumaru stops in front of a big slid door. Kagome gasps at the beautiful ancient drawing on it. This whole place is like Sesshoumaru himself. Graceful.
The room is huge, and beautiful, just like everything else in the palace. Kagome chuckles at the thought of how can the old Jaken open a huge door like this.
"Sit." Oh familiar word. The word that can make Inuyasha drop down on the ground, now it only makes Kagome to sit down on the floor with a cautious glance at the tall prince. Inuyasha.he wouldn't come for me this time, would he? He has Kikyou.
"Now woman, you shall tell me about your magic before I will let you leave. How you make Inuyasha listen to you."
Silence.
"I shall tell you, if you don't talk, I'll just hold you for hostage until Inuyasha gives me the sword."
"There's no need to try that." Kagome says, "He won't come for me. He loves Kikyou. So you might as well just kill me right away." Every word makes this more real to her. No, Inuyasha won't come for her. She's lost him to Kikyou.
'What's this expression? It's agony?' Sesshoumaru thought as he examines her closely. 'She is really hurt, isn't she?'
'Inuyasha is just foolish as ever. For human, this wench should be a much better choice than the other deadly miko. At least, she has much more spirit. And the smell of her, is like the aroma of a purple misty, though it's similar to that Kikyou, but Kikyou's has a smell of darkness. A smell of hatred.'
"Well, I guess I'll hold you then." Sesshoumaru called Jaken to take her to her room.
"Jaken, you will find human food for her. You head shall roll if anything happens to her." He goes to the other room to the shower Jaken prepared for him without saying another word to Kagome.
'At least I'm still alive.' Kagome thinks to herself silently.
The room is decent, even the bath Jaken prepared half-heartedly is much better than the ones she took when she was with Inuyasha. Hopefully the old ugly toad isn't watching. Kagome sighs as she wet her long dark hair in the water.
"Woman, get out of there, right now." Sesshoumaru's very cold voice travels through the door.
"Do you mind? I'm taking a bath." He doesn't care about others at least a bit, does he?
'Damn, the wench is making me wait.' He's getting very impatient.
It's after hardly 30 seconds, Kagome heard the old door slide open. The handsome prince stands straight in front her.
"AHHHHHHHHH!! YOU PERVERT! GET OUT!" She starts hitting him with the piece of cloth Jaken left for drying her.
Apparently her scream had little to no effect on the tall guy. He reaches into the water, and takes her out easily. In a single motion, he throws her on the futon with a kimono. "Get dressed. I'll watch you eat your meal." He turns out of the door to call for Jaken.
The same time Kagome is trying to cover herself unsuccessfully. 'He doesn't even pretend he didn't see me like Inuyasha would. At least that's new.' She sighs again while putting on the rather pretty kimono. She seems to sigh a lot these days.
Kagome climbs into the cover slowly. She is really tired. This was a very very long day. First, she went back into the well to see Inuyasha, then he and Sesshoumaru fought, next she's kidnapped. Oh gosh, this hurts her head. She drifts off to sleep with a confusing mind.
The tree is up ahead, the tree she met Inuyasha. Finally, something familiar. She walks toward it, but suddenly she sees two figures are already under it. NO!!! It's Inuyasha and Kikyou. They are kissing! No, I don't want to see it! She screams silently. I can't see it!
"We don't need you, Kagome, we have a much better one now. We have Kikyou! You are useless!" Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kaede, who are now marching toward her. She backs off step by step. Why are they doing this!
Kikyou turns toward her with a bow suddenly. With an arrow pointing at Kagome, she smiles darkly.
"Inuyasha! Don't let her do that to me!" But somehow she can't see his eyes, he didn't move at all.
The next things she knows, the arrow is flying through the air, right at her. Oh no, I'm going to die!
Somebody is rushing through the air, seems trying to save her from the arrow. But it's.it's Sesshoumaru. Hurry, he's not going to make it, hurry! In the horrible fear, she screams "Sesshoumaru!!!!!"
"Wake up, it's ok, I'm here." A strong hand shakes her lightly. "Wake up."
She opens her brilliant eyes slowly. "Where am I?"
The perfect face of Sesshoumaru makes it all real. But.is that a smile on his face? Oh it can't be. He doesn't smile.
His smile is so peaceful, she's never seen him like this before.
"It's ok, I'm here, nightmare?" He asks in the most comforting voice, not the usual tone at all.
"Oh it's horrible, Inuyasha was." She breaks down into sobs.
"I'll tug you in, you'll sleep just all right now." The smile is still there, Kagome can't help but wonder if it's the same fluffy. He was dressed in a white robe, the long silvery hair falls down from his back.
He pulls the blanket over her shoulders. And touch her face gently.
He walks over to the door.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?"
He turns back, with the light of the moon shines on his face.
"How did you know I was having a nightmare?"
Kagome thinks she almost heard a chuckle in his voice. "You screamed so loudly, you could've break the walls."
"Thanks."
She was embraced tightly. Although Kagome is sure that he did it because he fears that she would run away, for a few seconds, she felt warm. No, what is she thinking? This is Sesshoumaru we are talking about here. He's enemy. She should be making a plan of how to get back to Inuyasha. But for what? Just to say goodbye? And knowing she'll never see him again.
