A/N: Howdees again! Wow if I keep writing like this, my fic will be
finished in a week! Any way, thank you to all the peeps who are reviewing,
you have no freaking clue how good it feels for a person who wants to write
for a living. I know that sometimes my grammar isn't that great, the sad
thing is, that English is the only language I know. I've tried to learn
Spanish, but ::sweat drops:: let's just say that 2 years is an awful long
time to just learn how to say "hello". Well, on with the fic!
The Other Side of the Mirror
Chapter 4: Getting Back Into the Swing of Things
Sesshoumaru grabbed her again and smiled. "And where do you think I acquired these bad habits?"
Wow! This Sesshoumaru was so different. He was laughing and joking, even slurping his food! How could he be the feared terrible half-brother of Inu- Yasha? "You can't possibly be talking about me!" Once the words were out of her mouth, she knew that she would regret saying them. She was about to apologize but he spoke first.
"She speaks!" He laughed. "Of course not. You're a perfect lady," he leaned in, close enough to kiss her, "*my* lady." He picked up a few more noodles with his chopsticks and held them out for her. "At the very least, have a little," he wiggled them slightly, "for me?"
Kagome opened her mouth, she was hungry; Sesshoumaru brought the noodles to her mouth and fed her. She blushed slightly, she was being fed by one of the most feared demons in the world!
"That's more like it." There was a knock on the door, "Enter, Jaken," the inu-youkai laughed.
Jaken did, carrying a pile of cloth and armor bigger then he was. "The clothing you requested, milord."
Sesshoumaru jumped up and took the fabric from the tiny demon, "Thank you, Jaken, that will be all."
The little frog seemed flustered, "But, lord! You have matters of great urgency to attend to! You can *not* put the other lords off any longer! They have been growing distrustful of your lordship ever since your wi-"
"Jaken!" Sesshoumaru yelled, the compassion all but gone, "I have more pressing matters to attend to here! If I have the chance, I will get to them, if not, then I won't." He set the large pile on the bed.
Jaken sighed, "I will inform then milord." He bowed to each one in turn, and left the room.
Sesshoumaru sighed and shook his head, "I finally have you back," he stroked her cheek, "I don't know how they expect me not to stay by your side." Kagome was too busy staring at the large pile behind him to really pay attention to what he was saying. She had never seen so many pieces to one outfit before. And was that a *fur* shawl?!
"Oh! You must want to get out of that school uniform," he looked at what he was wearing, "I should also get something to wear."
Kagome just stared, "Uh.how would I put it on?"
Sesshoumaru smiled, "You mean to tell me, that after three months of wearing that, you still can't dress yourself?!"
Three months?! "I-I don't-" she was dumb-founded.
"Fine," he laughed, (a/n: he seems to be doing a lot of that doesn't he?) "Someone will just have to dress you."
Kagome thought about that for a moment. He was rich, it made since that he would have people to do those kinds of things for him.
Sesshoumaru walked up behind and gave her a quick hug. Kagome thought that it was his way of saying "bye", but it certainly didn't!
He took her arms and raised them above her head, and took the hem of her shirt and pulled it off! She barely had time to gasp before he unbuttoned and unzipped her skirt and let it fall to the floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up, only to stand her closer to the bed and out of the skirt that fell at her ankles.
He took one of the fabric pieces and wrapped it around her. It was pure white, and felt a lot like silk. Next he put on her something that had to be the world finest silk around her. It look a little like what she had seen Sesshoumaru wear in the battles he had had with Inu-Yasha, dazzling white with a little red, and white flowers on the collar and bottom hem. She wished she had a mirror, she bet she looked gorgeous!
He picked up one of the metal pieces. It resembled his own armor slightly. "Now, Kagome, he coaxed, "Breathe in deeply and close your eyes." She did as he told. "Now breath out." As soon as she had, he quickly snapped the armor into place. Kagome didn't like it anymore! It was tight and more then a little uncomfortable.
"I know you don't like that piece, but you must wear it," he said and kissed her cheek before he continued. He then retrieved a spiked piece and slid it into place over her shoulder. After the armor was completely on her, he took a yellow sash that had a beautiful splash of purple in it and tied it around her waist. He then set a pair of small black shoes on the ground, and motioned for her to step into them. She did so.
"And the final touch," he whispered. He took the white fur and attached it to the back of her armor. She noticed that the fur had little buttonholes through it. Sesshoumaru wrapped it over her shoulder, under her arm and let a little of it trail behind her. "Almost perfect," he said and took a jade comb and twisted it into her hair. (have you ever seen Mulan? He did what her dad did with that pretty blue comb) "There," he said hovering just above her lips.
He leaned down to kiss her, but someone burst through the door, ranting about an appointment; while Jaken followed, helplessly stating that his master did not wish to be disturbed.
"Sesshoumaru!" The demon yelled, but froze when he saw Kagome. "Milady? I-" he stammered,
I did not know, Lord Sesshoumaru. Lady Kagome, I am glad to see that you were safely returned to us," he bowed to Kagome. "I will make sure that no one disturbs you, lord. I beg both of you for forgiveness. If I had known you were home I would not have-"
"That is enough," Sesshoumaru said calmly as he stepped protectively in front of Kagome, "You may leave."
The demon bowed and left without another word. Jaken shamefully followed.
"What was that all about?" Kagome thought out loud.
"The clan leaders have grown restless. I was powerless when you were ripped away from me. I did nothing, for fear of that bastard, Inu-Yasha, and Naraku would hurt you. The thought of loosing you weighed so much on my shoulders I didn't know what to do. The lords repeatedly told me that I needed to stop acting so human." he sighed and wrapped his arms around her again, "I will never let anyone take you from me again!"
He was so sweet, her head was starting to hurt, "I don't understand. Why are you being so nice to me? The last three times I saw you, you tried to kill us."
Sesshoumaru shook his head, "No! I would never hurt you!" A sudden realization hit him, "I'll kill him! Gods! I'll find a cure for whatever he used to poison your mind; then I'll make him beg for death!"
"Poison? No! Inu-Yasha wouldn't! He-he."
"Kagome! Listen to me!" He begged, "Inu-Yasha and Naraku did something to your memories! Don't you remember me? Your mate?!"
A/N: I do believe that I shall be evil and end there. But don't worry, I'm posting the next chapter later tonight or tomorrow morning, so heehee.I have read the reviews and some say that my fic is confusing.well peeps, tell me what's confusing and I will fix it! Just tell me! Please! How do you like it so far?
Inu-Yasha: "How come I'm not in it more?"
Kitsune Hanyou: "Cause you don't matter that much right now, don't worry, your part will come."
Inu-Yasha: "Why does Sesshoumaru keep acting so weird? He isn't Kagome's mate!"
Kitsune's Sessy: "I'm not acting weird! And of course I am!"
::Kitsune's Sessy and Inu-Yasha start to growl at each other::
Kitsune Hanyou: "Whoa! Calm down guys! Don't worry all will be reveled in the next chapter! I promise! Please review! The story gets kinda serious now.I will update at least every 2 days, so check back often!
