Well, first off, I hope that all of you liked the first chapter. Hope you didn't think that it was too bad, I mean, I DID write it really late at night the other day. My best friend in the whole world, InuERIKO thought it was good when I showed her my first draft at the pool, so I really hope that you feel the same way. If you didn't like it, and you're reading the second chapter, you're total a screw-ball, but I've got no problem with that, 'cuz almost all of my friend s are that way. Oh, yeah, and when, and if you review, send a hello to my good friend George, a rock from a construction site that I found in the middle of a busy road whilst I was crossing. I know it was stupid, but I made sure to look both ways before I crossed the street.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the second chapter! There's a little more action in this chapter, although not much because I suck at writing fight scenes, and so I weaseled my way out of this one. And remember:
Beans, beans the magical fruit
The more you eat the more you toot!
Bwahahahaha *Evil laughing sound effects playing in my head* Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Coming Closer
"What is it, wench?" he growled. " I was quite enjoying the silence."
"Well... Um... Well..."
"Spit it OUT, wench!" he yelled. She made him furious, and so easily. What is it about this woman that could make him so frustrated?
I will not do anything. I will not yell, or scream, or in any way make him angry, so that he has a reason to murder me, she thought. "There are two demons coming very quickly."
"How do YOU know this, and I do not?"
"They're about twenty miles away from us, but moving very quickly and moving straight for us. They will be here in just a matter of minutes. They carry Shikon no Tama shards. Five of the, from what I can sense, maybe more."
"Which direction?" his senses had heightened at the coming promise of a somewhat dangerous situation, ear ears listened for even the slightest sound that would indicate that the enemy was near. All the while, his eye searched around the outside of the grove of trees for even the smallest hint of movement. His eyes were golden, not unlike Inu-Yasha's, but different, colder, no emotion showed in them, except, maybe, anticipation for the coming fight, Kagome noted. Sesshoumaru had drawn the Ukijin and was now at a fighting stance. "From which direction are they coming, wench?" he repeated his earlier stated question. "I cannot yet hear them."
She pointed northeast. "That way. They are coming quickly. They've covered at least fifteen miles in under a few minutes. The presence of the shards is getting stronger as the second pass."
"Take your bow and arrows," he said, looking at her for the first time with a face that didn't give her the impression that he was imagining the pleasure of killing her. The sort of face that Inu-Yasha usually gets when he's bent on protecting something. They are over there; behind that boulder. Get behind the trees and make yourself scarce..."
"But..."
"There is no time for your silly questions, woman! How far are they from us now?"
"Only about a half of a mile, now, Sesshoumaru."
"I can smell them..." he sniffed the air, baring his teeth, "Trolls" he growled. Turning his head, he looked at Kagome." Stay behind the trees and don't get yourself killed," he told her. "They're close."
"I know," Kagome whispered. The presence of the corrupted shards was getting to her. There were too many of them. Their evil powers...What had these demons done... the powers; they were making her nauseous... What's going on... Why is this happening...? It's never happened before... and then, everything was black.
"Here are your shards, wench," he said, throwing them on the ground next to her.
What happened? Why am I here? She thought. Her head was in turmoil. Why do I feel so sick? "The... The fight..." she said weakly. "What happened? Where am I? Why am I here?" she asked Sesshoumaru, giving voice to her reeling questions. Now that she had a chance to look around her, she saw that she was quite a ways from camp. She could see the fire through the trees, but it was not the raging fire that she remembered seeing when she had awoken in what seemed to have been such a very long time, but was, in fact, no more than three hours ago.
"You wandered into the forest," Sesshoumaru explained. "Unwise for a priestess that isn't welcome here, who never was, in the first place, and never will be," he looked down at the ground about a foot away from where Kagome's head rested before he found her. "From the looks of it, you were very ill," he kneeled down to pick up her weapon and shards, then he picked up Kagome.
"Wh-What are you doing?" she asked, more than a little alarmed at how things were now transpiring. Who did he think he was, anyway? Picking her up like a little baby?
"WE are going to my castle," he informed her. "You need to see a healer about your wounds and illness."
Is it just me, or did it just sound like he was worried? She thought.
"You will be of no use to me dead," Sesshoumaru finished.
Wow, Kagome thought, I'm so glad that he's the insensitive jerk that I thought he was. *sigh* That makes things a lot less complicated.
"Wait..." She started.
"Wait, WHAT, woman?" he growled at her, his eyes had a threatening look in them, as though he was daring her to say something foolish to give him a reason to kill her. The woman's corpse would, of course, still be bait enough, but her being alive would at least double how careless his brother became. "Well, what is it?" he asked impatiently. Apparently, she had already said what she wanted to, but he had missed it in his contemplation.
"I ASKED you why you didn't keep the shards for yourself to become more powerful."
"I need not give you any explanation."
Well, hope that you guys liked my story! It was lots of fun to write, and I PROMISE it will get more interesting! I just need some suggestions from you guys... and I plan to have a lot more stories, in fact, I have this great idea for one, but I'm saving it for when I finish "An Unexpected Loss" I think that you'll like it. My idea so far is that Kagome gets caught in an alternate dimension where she finds that she and Inu-Yasha had a son and that she also had one with Koga, and they are both trying to kill her. I'm planning to eventually turn this into an IY/KG romance. Should be lots of fun!
Well, c-ya next chapter! Peace out and jellybeans aren't a cousin to the magical fruit we call beans!
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the second chapter! There's a little more action in this chapter, although not much because I suck at writing fight scenes, and so I weaseled my way out of this one. And remember:
