Chapter 3 Surprises
Hey you people things! I've finally updated YAY! Miroku and Vash were playing cards for a box of donuts
last time I peeked in that closet. Inuyasha refused to play. He is so stubborn! So I played with his doggie
ears and he yelled at me, so I did it some more. Then he made fun of me because I was human. So when it
was time to feed them, he had to eat from a doggy dish. Hehehe He should not make fun of me!
While Miroku watched in amusement meanwhile, Vash ate the whole box of donuts, therefore ending their
game of cards.
Vash: I was hungry!
Miroku: There were twenty-four in that box! Do you know how many calories they have? It's amazing
you're still as thin as a twig!
Vash: I know. HaHaHa. I'm the only one who could pull that off! (Sam pokes her head out from behind a
lamp, eyeing me evilly. dun dun dun)
Sorry bout the ranting. I'm really bored. Anyways, onto the fic. **************************************************************************** *************
The next morning Kagome awoke to find herself in the cold, dark castle. Immediately she walked
over to the doors leading to the balcony and heaved them open. A wave of warm sunlight washed over her.
She loved the outdoors. She had to, with the adventurous life she led. She looked over the ledge, leaning on
the short railing. Below was a pair of ebony gates, shut tight and guarded by burly-looking demons.
Beyond that was a field of wildflowers, lined with blossoming Sakura trees. It was stunning, and she
wondered how something so delicate and beautiful could flourish beside something so bleak and
melancholic. The wind blew a soft breeze, and she could see the rain clouds in the distance, heading in the
opposite direction. She sighed deeply, and her thoughts strayed to Inuyasha. She prayed he would come
soon, she knew he'd try. He was probably frantic now, yelling at everyone to keep up. Yep, that was
Inuyasha. But for now, she had to wait. She was supposed to get dressed because she had an "appointment"
with Rin at who knows what time. She didn't want to upset her, for she knew the girl had very little
playmates. She started to change into the Kimono she had received when the door began to open.
She screeched and knocked Jaken on the head, causing him to pass out. She took this time to get
dressed. He awoke, seeming a little dazed.
"Why did you hit me?" he asked.
"You saw me dressing! Knock first!" she growled. She glared daggers at him, muttering under her
breath, "Stupid toad."
"I just came to announce that you shall be accompanying Rin in ten minutes, and I will be
escorting you to her. Come now," he ordered. Kagome hurriedly ran a brush through her hair and followed.
Her steps echoed loudly, bouncing from wall to wall. At the bottom of a flight of stairs stood Rin, a smile
plastered upon her face. Sesshoumaru loomed over her, but remained silent.
Rin took Kagome by the hand, "Come Kagome! We are going to pick some flowers to give to
Sesshoumaru-sama!" She looked so excited and happy that Kagome had to smile too. The small child
pulled Kagome by the hand, waving to Sesshoumaru and Jaken. She skipped along, and hurried her past the
sentry, flashing them her cocky smile. She led her through the magnificent iron gates into the field of
wildflowers. The two sat and began to choose among the flora. Unbeknownst to them, Sesshoumaru sat in a
tree, ever watchful. Kagome explained to Rin about the flowers and how they grew, while Rin looked at
her interested in what she had to say. The great demon lord looked at the two below, listening to the
lesson being taught, for he was also interested in what the girl had to say.
"Kagome," Rin asked suddenly, "How do you know if you're in love?" Sesshoumaru listened
more attentively, surprised at the question.
"Well, Rin, when your in love your heartbeat quickens every time you think about that person.
When you're in love you want to laugh and cry at the same time. When you are in love the only reason you
breathe is to see that special someone smile, or whisper your name. When you are in love, you are devoted
to that person and you give your heart to them." Her mind wandered to Inuyasha. She looked at Rin, who
didn't seem to follow. "You probably don't understand a word I'm saying, do
you?"
"Nope, not really," said Rin.
Kagome laughed, "I'll tell you when you are older," Once they had gathered the flowers, they
walked back to the gates, where Sesshoumaru was waiting. Rin handed the flowers she had gathered to
Sesshoumaru, giving him a warm smile. He took the flowers, but did not smile back. Kagome wondered if
he actually kept the flowers or if he discarded them. She watched the hand that held the flowers intently as
they entered, and surprisingly, they remained in his grasp. He placed them in a vase and told Rin to say
goodbye. Rin pulled Kagome down so they were eye to eye. She pulled a daisy out of Kagome's hand and
placed it in the teenager's hair. She said nothing, and only waved, still smiling. Sesshoumaru accompanied
Kagome to her quarters. As he pulled the key from his pocket, Kagome stared at him quizzically. He felt
her stares and met her eyes.
"What is it?" he asked coldly.
"You kept the flowers, the ones Rin gave you," she said softly, and grinned slightly. He looked at
her questioningly, and hesitated before replying.
"Dinner is at six," he said finally, slamming the door. She continued to smile knowingly, for what
she saw behind that cold stare surprised her even more. She saw love. Not for her, but for Rin. (A/N NO
THIS IS NOT A SESS/RIN STORY. Those are weird. I mean, she's just a kid!!!) **************************************************************************** ******************
That evening Sesshoumaru was back to his normal emotionless personality. Kagome did not speak
at all; she felt his cold aura and it scared her. Rin chatted away merrily, unaware of the cold feeling
Kagome could sense coming from Sesshoumaru. He glanced at her in wonder, making sure not to stare. He
could smell her fear and worry on the air. Was she afraid of him? 'She's right to be scared,' he thought, 'for
I am the Lord of the Western Lands and she is but a human.' She was no ordinary mortal he knew, for he
could sense the Miko powers within her.
Dinner was finished and Kagome was escorted back to her accommodations. She was disgusted
again with Sesshoumaru. He completely ignored Rin, not listening to a word she said. Maybe she was
wrong. If he truly loved her, he would take better care of her. 'He is but a heartless beast!' she thought.
Then she pondered on another reason. 'Maybe he doesn't know how to love, or how to be kind. Until
recently, he has no one that he truly cares about. I could possibly help him, without his realization of
course. I wonder.' She began to think of ways to secretly aide him in becoming a better father figure for
Rin. **************************************************************************** ************************ Hey everyone I finally updated! YAY! *throws confetti* I'm so so so sorry for the wait! Please forgive me!
