say.

Chapter five: Encounter in the Dark
He slept fitfully that night, Kagome's face more than once turned up in his dreams. Her face was almost always tear streaked, as it had been when he had comforted her. He tossed and turned, trying to get away from her face. Her scent still lingered in his nose, intoxicating him. 'But why a human?' asked the voice. The words rolled around in his head, echoing. "Get away," he moaned.
Suddenly, he shot up, his eyes wide and panting. He held his head in his hands for a second and then pulled off the blankets and placed his feet on the floor. Slowly, he stood up and walked out the door, following Kagome's scent to the room where she slept in.
Carefully, he opened the door to her room to watch her as she slept. Her chest rose and fell rhythmically as she breathed; her hair was sprawled across the pillows. 'What am I doing here?' He thought. 'She means nothing to me, so why am I here?'
~*~*~*~
Inu-Yasha stood before her, his face stoic, his voice stern, yet sorrowful. "Gomen, Kagome," he said, "but I've chosen Kikyo."
Kagome's eyes widened with shock and betrayal, then filled with anger. "So, you've chosen Kikyo, Inu-Yasha?" she asked bitterly. Seeing him nod in response, she continued. "And what have I been to you, these past two years, Inu-Yasha? Was I only a shard detector to you?" Inu-Yasha winced at the biting words. "Well, you apparently don't need me anymore, so - "
"But, I - "
"SO," she said firmly, glaring at him for cutting her off, "I'm leaving, and I promise that you'll never see or hear from me again," she said, her voice trailing off.
Turning, she picked up her only possessions, a bow and quiver of arrows, both commissioned to be made a season ago by Kaede, they were meant to work with her miko powers. Calmly, she walked away from him until she was certain that he could no longer see or hear her before she let the tears flow. 'I trusted him and he abandoned me.' She thought. 'I don't think I can ever love again.'
Her eyes flew open and she found that she was breathing heavily. She placed her hand on her forehead. "Was it a dream?" she whispered to herself. "It seemed so real."
She sat up, suddenly feeling as though someone was watching her. Kagome looked to the door and saw a dark silhouette in it. Forgetting where she was, and thinking first of Miroku, she grabbed a pillow and threw it at the figure. "Hentai!" Hearing the figure growl, she realized her mistake. "Gomen nasai, Sesshoumaru-sama. I didn't know it was you."
His anger unleashed, he could not hear her apology or control himself. Before she knew it, Sesshoumaru held both her arms firmly and had pinned her to the bed. His eyes had dialated in his rage. His breath was hot on her face. Sesshoumaru's silver-white hair fell in a curtain around their faces.
"Gomen, Sesshoumaru! Gomen nasai! Please, you're hurting me!" she pleaded with him.
Looking deep into her large sapphire eyes, his rage turned to lust as he thought about the position they were in. Bringing his face lower, he put his lips by her ear. "If you EVER do that to me again, you will regret it," he whispered harshly in her ear.
Losing control of himself once more, he kissed the side of her face, traced the inside of her ear with his tongue. He felt her shiver beneath his touch. He nibbled her ear lobe, the tickle the sensitive skin behind her ear. Trailing rough kisses down her jaw line, he reached her chin and moved up to her lips, forcing his tongue inside her mouth.
Realizing what he was doing, Sesshoumaru sat up and released the girl. Her breathing was ragged and she shook slightly from the encounter. 'What am I doing here?' Sesshoumaru wondered.
Kagome watched Sesshoumaru stand and leave the room 'What was THAT all about?'
~*~*~*~
The sun rose a couple hours later; neither of the two getting much sleep after what had happened. The morning meal was a quiet affair, save for the prattling if Rin. After they were done eating, Rin took both of their hands and then pulled them to the garden to pick flowers with her. When they arrived at their destination, Rin let go their hands and ran off to pick flowers for 'Kagome nee-chan', as she now referred to her.
Kagome walked placidly through the garden, exploring, yet not really seeing. Sesshoumaru walked closely behind her, a troubled look on his face, his mind a torrent of thoughts, most of them focusing on what had happened very early that morning. His train of thought was broken at the sound of Kagome crying out in pain. She had fallen to the ground and was holding her ankle gingerly, her face contorted in pain.
He was at her side in a second, not a thought spent on his changed demeanor. "What happened?" he asked, worried.
"I - I twisted my ankle."
He held out his hand. "Can you stand?" he asked.
Kagome nodded. "I think so," she said. Taking his hand, she tried to stand and fell, her ankle refusing to support her weight. She grimaced. Sighing, Sesshoumaru picked Kagome up and started to carry her up to the castle.
Halfway there, he looked down at her girl that he carried in his arms and saw the rosy color her face had turned.
~*~*~*~
An hour later, her ankle had been splinted and wrapped to keep her from moving it and she sat in her bed, reading a book Sesshoumaru had provided for her. Hearing a strange noise from outside her window, she looked up from her book. Kouga sat on her windowsill, looking at her.

BWA HA HA HA HA! Densetsu is evil! She stopped at a horrible place, didn't she? Tee hee. Well, her dad is definitely working on the computer ALL of tomorrow and most likely the day after as well. Being the lazy person that she is, Densetsu will not be responding to any new reviews until chapter six. Considering that she typed two chapters today, that should be enough. Well, as always, reviews for this chapter are highly appreciated! Ja ne!
