Before Pride Life and Honor
Hello again!!! Thank all of you for the reviews!!! And I have to explain something: In my story, Sesshomaru got in the cave before Kagome did, and then she came in and sealed the cave. If you are reading this, that means that you like the way I write and you want to know what is going to happen next!!! Anyway, I'll try not to keep you from the chapter...^_^
YokaiYuki-Nice presentation!
Wicca-What is that supposed to mean?
YokaiYuki-Nothing, nothing. I just never liked lectures
Wicca-Whatever
YokaiYuki-....Well, it's not like you had a lecture or something, right?
Wicca-Yeah...Ok, let's get back to business: didn't you promise me to help me with this story?
YokaiYuki-Yes, so why not get started?
Chapter 3-A new friendship
Kagome woke up and realized that Sesshomaru was holding her in his arms.
"I see that you are awake" Sesshomaru said coldly, but tightened his embrace of her.
"How long have you been up, and why are you holding me like this?" Kagome asked.
"It doesn't matter of how long I've been up, human. You fainted after you finished healing my arm. I have to thank you for this, human, so I will give you the piece of the Shikon no Tama," Sesshomaru said. He loosened his grip of her, but didn't let go.
"It's Kagome," Kagome said sleepily, "Not human, wench, bitch or something else. Please call me nothing else except that-Kagome," she said and cuddled against Sesshomaru and went back to sleep. 'That human girl has a lot of guts. She even dared to raise her voice at me. Maybe I should kill her, every human that did something like that paid me with it's life.' Then, Sesshomaru looked down at the sleeping miko 'I don't think that I could do it. She looks so peaceful. This feels so right. Maybe I should get to know her more. Maybe she's different from all of the other humans? No, every human is the same. But her....' Sesshomaru's thoughts ended when Kagome started to stir.
"I'm sorry Sesshomaru-sama. I guess I fell asleep on you yet again" Kagome said, and looked at him and smiled happily. Sesshomaru just raised his brow, and showed no expression. Then, Kagome's stomach growled.
"I guess I should go and get me some food. Anything for you Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked?
"I don't eat human food." Sesshomaru said coldly. Then, he gently put Kagome in a comfortable position, and started walking out of the cave.
"Stay here," he said coldly and went out hunting.
'Like I have anything else to do. Oh no! I almost forgot! I should get back to the gang! But, I barely know this place. Maybe I should ask Sesshomaru to help me find the group? What if he will refuse? No, he must help me. I gave him his arm back. But he promised the piece of the jewel shard as a thank you... What if he'll kill me for asking??? No, if he wanted to kill me, he would have done that a long time ago." Kagome's thoughts ended when Sesshomaru came back with bread and dry meat (I don't know what kind of food they ate in the Feudal era).
"Eat" Sesshomaru ordered.
"Why, Sesshomaru-sama?"
"Why what, Kagome?"
"You said my name! Why are you doing this to me? I mean helping me?"
"I believe I should return the favor to you after you gave me my arm back." Sesshomaru answered coldly.
"But I thought that you were giving me the piece of the Shikon Jewel?"
"I think that my arm is worth much more than some piece of a jewel... Here" Sesshomaru hands Kagome the piece of the jewel.
"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama." Kagome attaches the piece of the jewel with the rest of the pieces. 'Why is he so nice to me? I guess there's more to him than a "cold-hearted demon" after all. Maybe we can become friends. It seems that he doesn't have any, except for Rin and Jaken. Maybe I should offer my friendship to him. What if he refuses? Well, I guess there will be nothing to lose...' Kagome thought.
"Um, Sesshomaru-sama?"
"What?" he asked coldly.
"Can I ask you a question or a favor?"
"Such as what?"
"Well, if you and I met under different circumstances and in the right time, could we have been friends?"
"Probably, why?" Sesshomaru raised his brow.
"Well, can't we start to be friends now? Get to know each other? Please?"
Kagome looked at Sesshomaru with her puppy dog eyes, and Sesshomaru almost smiled. "Sesshomaru-sama, I know that you don't get friends so easily and that you don't trust many people, but, can you at least give me a chance? I want to prove to you that there is more to me than some helpless stupid human, and I know that there is more to you also. Can you at least give it a try? Please?"
"This Sesshomaru had many people who wanted to be friends with him, just because of his power, but to me it seems that you want to be friends with me just for who this Sesshomaru is?"
"Well, yes, but not exactly. You see, I don't like it when you kill innocent people or even demons. I like it when you help people... This is so hard to explain. I like you for who you are, but not with the killing the innocent part. Are you getting this, Sesshomaru-sama?"
Sesshomaru thought for a while... 'So, she does like me for who I am, except for killing part'
Kagome kept going when she got no response. "It was very generous of you for saving Rin. This shows that there, there is more to you than a cold-blooded demon. This shows that you have a heart, and that is why I want to get to know you better and to be friends with you. I swear that I will never betray you. I am not like the other people who tried to be your friends just because of your power. Please give me a chance, Sesshomaru-sama."
"This Sesshomaru had came to a decision and this Sesshomaru will give you a chance in this friendship" Sesshomaru said with a little warmth.
Instantly, Kagome's expression brightened. "Thank you, Sesshomaru-sama!!! So, do I call you Sesshomaru? Sesshomaru-sama?"
"Sesshomaru will do just fine," Sesshomaru said. Then, he did the most uncommon thing everyone thought he could do, he: smiled. And not the cold-hearted smile, it was the sincere smile, a warm smile.
After the smile, Kagome hugged Sesshomaru and smiled warmly at him. "Then, I guess you can call me Kagome!"
Sesshomaru couldn't help but smile. 'I feel so content, is this what happiness feels like? This doesn't feel disgusting to be holding a human. This feels so right, so why not enjoy it while I can?'
"Kagome?" Kagome instantly pulled back. "What is it Sesshomaru?"
"Shouldn't you be joining your group? I am pretty sure that they are worried about you." Sesshomaru said with some kind of sadness.
Kagome's expression grew sadder. "I guess you're right Sesshomaru...But, can't you join me for a while? Please Sesshomaru? Maybe you could take Rin, so that she could play with Shippo?" Kagome asked.
Sesshomaru thought about that for a little. "Why not?"
Kagome stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Sesshomaru on his cheek. "Thank you Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru, holding Kagome with his left arm leapt into the air. 'Now all I need to do is find the scent of my stupid half-brother.' Then, he sensed Inuyasha's scent and the scent of the group and someone new. 'Speak of the devil'
"Sesshomaru, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. It seems that your friends are here."
"K-A-G-O-M-E!!!!!! K-A-G-O-M-E!!!!!! K-A-G-O-M-E!!!!!! K-A-G-O-M-E!!!!!! K-A-G-O-M-E!!!!!! K-A-G-O-M-E!!!!!!" Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo yelled.
"Wait," said Inuyasha, "I sense Kagome's scent nearby...and it's with...Sesshomaru...."
"Oh, boy," said Kagome.
"Sesshomaru, you bloody bastard! Come out here and fight!!!" screamed Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome. "Please come down and let me explain, and please don't kill anyone Sesshomaru," Kagome asked.
"As you wish," Sesshomaru said and went down.
"Sesshomaru!!!! Let go of MY Kagome!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha drew the Teutsaiga.
"Inuyasha!!!! SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Inuyasha instantly crushed on the floor. "What did you do that for, wench?"
"Inuyasha, let me explain: Sesshomaru is NOT an enemy, he's my friend. If you even try to hurt him, I will *it you so much that you would wish that you never met me..."
Inuyasha sat up and just said "Feh, whatever..."
Sesshomaru let go of Kagome. "I'll go and find Rin, and bring her here."
"Okay, Sesshomaru. Just, be careful." With this, Sesshomaru left for the Western Lands. Inuyasha, Sango, Shippo, Miroku and even Kilala looked at Kagome dumbfounded. Inuyasha was the first to break the silence.
"I've been wanting to tell you guys this a long time ago, but when you were together. We will have a new member in our group. Kikiyo, come here"
Kikiyo went out from the bushes, walked to Inuyasha and took his clawed hand. "Kikiyo is going to join our group and she is my mate, so treat her with respect." Inuyasha said, and walked away with Kikiyo by his side.
'Inuyasha,' Kagome thought, 'How could you do this? Why?'
YokaiYuki-this got to do it!!!!
Wicca-*YAWNS* Yeah, now I got to get some sleep. Don't you think that this was very long? Like TOO long?
YokaiYuki-Fine, next time it'll be shorter...But you wanted my help after all, so next time if you don't want me to help, I won't.
Wicca-Don't be like this......I'm even tired to argue with you....
YokaiYuki-Whatever...But I know that you think that I'm a very TALANTED writer.....
Wicca-As if...all of your ideas were simply implied of killing...And you can't even spell 'Inuyasha' right...
YokaiYuki-I can it's I-N-U-A-S-H-A!!!
Wicca-Oh boy, if you want to enter the spelling bee, you should check out a dictionary...because, you'll be the 1st one to loose...
YokaiYuki-No, I'm not
Wicca-Yes you are
YokaiYuki-NOT!
Wicca-Are!
YokaiYuki-NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wicca-NOT!!!!
YokaiYuki-ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wicca-fine, fine...you won..
YokaiYuki-*smiles to himself*
