Chapter 2: Comfort From an Unlikely Person
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Inuyasha watched for a moment as Kagome ran into the forest, trying to get away from him. His heart was racing. How could he decided between Kikyo and Kagome? Taking a few steps forward, he made up his mind to follow Kagome but something stopped him.
"Where are you going Inuyasha? Your not going after the little girl, are you?" Whispered the young woman from behind him as she reached up and touched his shoulder. Kikyo had stood by and watched the whole thing with a smile on her face. She did care at all about Kagome. In fact, if she had it her way, the girl would already be dead but for some strange reason, Inuyasha hadn't aloud her to kill the girl.
Inuyasha lowered his head and turned to Kikyo, "Kikyo," he whispered, "I love you. But I can't let her go. I'm sorry." For the first time in years, his harsh yellow eyes softened and filled with tears. He left Kikyo standing alone by the stream as he took off towards the camp, hoping Kagome would head back there.
Kikyo watched silently as her half demon lover chased after another woman. All she could think about was getting revenge on the young girl. Kagome had gotten in her way for the last time. She was sick of Inuyasha picking Kagome over herself. "I'll just get rid of her," She said to herself, a slight smirk on her face.
Sango stood up and looked towards the forest where Kagome and Inuyasha had disappeared over an hour ago. "Where are they?" she asked Miroku who was hardly paying any attention.
The monk yawned and looked up at Sango, "Like I said before, they'll be fine. There probably just off doing." He cut off by Shippo before he could finish his sentence.
"Inuyasha! Your back! Where's Kagome?" Shippo yelled happily as Inuyasha walked slowly out of the forest from the opposite direction. The little Fox ran up to him and sat happily on his head.
Sango and Miroku looked over at him. 'Something is different.' Sango thought to herself. She sat down next to Miroku and watched Inuyasha as he looked around the camp, beginning to look a bit frantic.
"Where's Kagome?" He asked, his eyes still quickly scanning the area. 'Oh know,' He though, 'She's still out there. What was she thinking, running off like that? But then again. I can't blame her. I really hurt her this time.' He thought.
"We were going to ask you the same thing," Miroku said as he joined Inuyasha in his search, "You didn't see her? She went after you a little bit after you left."
Inuyasha sighed and sat down at the fire. He assumed Kagome would be close by. She knew better than to go off on her own where there were demons around. She was probably just mad at him and for once, he agreed that she had a reason to be.
Kagome could hardly see. The sky was pitch black and her eyes were filled with tears but she kept running, only barley missing the trees and logs she kept running into. She didn't even stop when her sleeve caught on a tree branch and ripped half way off.
Her arms and legs had small cuts all over them. Streams of blood and sap ran down her shredded stockings. Her lungs hurt from running. She had run at least two miles by now but what she was unaware of is that she was running in the wrong direction. Yet, she continued on, further into forest, with no plans of stopping.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Lord Sesshoumaru," Rin asked cheerfully, "Where are we going?" The little girl was dancing around Jaken as she usually did. The little toad-like creature still didn't understand why his master insisted on letting the girl follow him.
The girl's master didn't say a word. He hardly ever spoke. His lips remained sealed, letting no expressions onto his face. But tonight, he was feeling especially kind towards the little girl, "We're going after Inuyasha Rin but it is late. You and Jaken stay here and follow me in the morning. I will go on ahead."
Run nodded and sat down immediately, "Yes milord." The little girl was very esily amused and quickly found entertainment with a little bug she found in a small patch of grass near where she was sitting.
Jaken looked up at his master, "But Lord Sesshoumaru, why must we stay here?! You can't leave me with that human child! She'll tare me apart!" Jaken jumped form one leg to the other, shaking the scepter in the air, whining at the top of his lungs.
Sesshoumaru looked from Rin who was sitting happily on the ground to Jaken who was jumping up and down in front of him. "Rin," he said in his usual expressionless tone, "I trust you will keep an eye on Jaken for me?"
Rin smiled, "Yes milord. See you in the morning!" And she went back to playing with a small pebble that she found after she had squished the bug and had gotten bored again.
Sesshoumaru nodded to Jaken and walked off into the forest alone. He wasn't really going to find his brother. He needed to get Jaken and Rin off his back so he could find the other person he was looking for. Inuyasha's little companion, Kagome. She was near by, her scent was getting closer.
Kagome was finally beginning to wear herself out. Her head was pounding as was the rest of her body. She had already lost a lot of blood and was beginning to get dizzy form it. She continued running as best she could. Although her body told her to stop, her mind told her to keep moving.
She ran into a small clearing where a small amount of light from the moon shone in. She looked down and continued to run across it. Her mind had gone completely numb by now. She hardly noticed when she ran directly into a tree and fell backwards onto the ground.
Rubbing her head a bit, Kagome looked up at the tree, the tears in her eyes slowly coming to a stop and allowing her to see clearly. When her eyes were clear, she was able to see that what she had run into was not a tree at all, but Inuyasha's brother, Sesshoumaru. She gasped slightly and backed up a bit, using her hands to pull herself backwards.
"Watch where you're going little girl." He said softly as he put his hand out to help her up. His harsh golden eyes were fixed on the girl lying on the ground before him. He doubted she would accept his hand but to his surprise, she did.
Kagome looked at him, her eyes wide. She didn't know what to think of this. Sesshoumaru hated her. At least that's what she though. But he hadn't reached for his sword and he didn't look at all threatening at the moment so she took his hand and let him pull her to her feet. Besides, if he did kill her, she would be gone so Inuyasha and Kikyo could be happy.
"What did that mutt do you to you now Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked softly as he let go of the girl's hand. He could tell the girl was scared of him. Her eyes hadn't left him and she hadn't blinked at all.
"H. How do you know my name?" She whispered as she took a step away from him. Kagome couldn't remember him ever being told her name or any of others name. She though he only knew Inuyasha's.
Sesshoumaru ignored this comment, as he looked the girl over. She was but in numerous places and was in serious need of bandages. He reached out for her but she jumped back in surprise. Sesshoumaru sighed and reached out for her again, this time he succeeded. He pulled her into the woods a bit and to his surprise, she followed without must resistance.
He set her down next to a tree and knelt down next to her, "Here," He said softly, "let me see." He took her arm in his hand and looked at the cut she had gotten from the tree that tore her shirt. The girl was shaking. He looked up at her. "Are you scared?" He whispered to her.
Kagome shook her head. She had started to get used to Sesshomaru already. He wasn't trying to hurt her. In fact, he had never tired to hurt her. Only Inuyasha. "Just a bit cold." She said softly as she watched Sesshoumaru clean her cut with his sleeve.
The young man looked up at her again then sat down next to her and put his arm around her. "Mind if I warm you up a bit?" He asked. It wasn't like he cared if she answered but he thought maybe she wouldn't mind as much as long as he asked.
Kagome thought about it for a moment but during that moment, she began to warm up so she decided to let him. She doubted she had a choice any way.
"So, tell me, what did Inuyasha do to make you run away form him?" Sesshoumaru asked when Kagome rested her head on his shoulder.
"He ran off to find Kikyo again. I know he loves her and everything but he didn't have to lie to me. He said he was going to get firewood. He's just so immature sometimes." Kagome answered, a slight amount of rage in her voice.
Sesshoumaru scoffed a bit, "Sometimes is a bit of an understatement. But don't worry, I'll look after you until that woman dies or he comes to get you."
Kagome really didn't want to stay with Sesshoumaru but once again, she doubted she had a choice so she nodded and thanked him.
After talking with Sesshoumaru for a while, she found that he was really not that bad a person. He was a good listener and gave her advice on what to do when Inuyasha was being a jerk, like he usually was. When the sun rose in the sky, she was actually happy that she had found comfort in the most unlikely place.
