Chapter two - Welcome..Home?

Kagome lied in an unknown room, asleep. She suddenly awoke, but kept her eyes closed, fearing what might await her once she opened him. 'Hey!' She thought. 'Maybe it was just a dream. Maybe I'm lying in my bed, at home!' Holding onto a tiny shred of hope, she opened her eyes.

She gasped. This DEFINATELY wasn't her room! A candleabra was placed on each of the four corners of the room, and the walls were designed in a beautiful mixture of sakuras, blossoms, roses, and blue skies. The room must of been atleast 25 feet wide!

'This can't be Sesshomaru's home..Can it?' Kagome thought. This certainly didn't look like the type of home she expected Sesshomaru to live in, therefore it must be someone elses. 'Maybe I got wounded somehow, and someone brought me here..By the looks of this room, I'd say I'm in good care.' She thought, smiling.

Sesshomaru entered the room, his eyes as emotionless as ever.

'Okay.' She thought. 'Maybe not.' Her thoughts drifted back to the scene and design of the room.

"Sesshomaru..Is this..Your house?" She asked.

Sesshomaru nodded. "Yes." He said rather flatly.

"This certainly isn't the type of house I thought you would live in. I thought it would -" She was cut off.

"You need to put on some new clothes. The clothing currently sport reak of filth. There are some clothes over there." He said, pointing to a closet.

Kagome was shocked. Did he just offer her come clothes? Maybe he does care for her...

Sesshomaru saw her expression, and immediately knew what she was thinking. "Please wench, I am not concerned for you. I just cannot stand the foul stench of your clothes." He growled.

Kagome huffed. "Fine." She said, and headed to the drawer. 'Gee, his cheeks must hurt from smiling so much.' She thought sarcastically as Sesshomaru left the room.

Sesshomaru sighed silently as he closed the door. 'Do I actually care for her? Is that why I gave her new clothing?' He thought, then, once again, mentally slapped himself. 'No. The smell of her clothes is trecherous. THAT is the reason. I care nothing for the baka-miko.' He thought, and continued down the long hall of rooms.

As he left, an entergetic Rin came around the corner, holding a boquet of flowers and smiling cheerfully, and headed in the direction of the room where Kagome was. She heard the conversation that had taken place. Her Sesshomaru-Sama wasn't all that nice to his new guests, so Rin decided that maybe she could make Kagome happy by bringing her some flowers. She merrily skipped her way to Kagome's door.

Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kilala sat outside at Kaede's in awkward silence.

Sango was fiddling with the letter Kagome left, Miroku was sitting silently, and surprisingly making no attempt to grope Sango. Kilala sat under a tree, curled up in mewing sadly, while Shippou clung to her, burying his face into her fur and crying softly.

"When I find Inuyasha..I swear!" Sango yelled angerly, deciding to break the silence. "I know exactly what he did to hurt Kagome so bad as to make her run away! He was with Kikyo! I just know it!" She began to cry uncontrollably, and Miroku embraced her, patting her back comfortingly.

"I know, Sango-Chan, but there is nothing we can do." Miroku said, and for once tears were threatening to spill from his eyes.

There was a sudden russling in the bushes, and everyone turned as Inuyasha emerged from them. "Where's Kagome?" He said in a shockingly calm tone.

"Oh, like YOU don't know Inuyasha!" Sango screamed.

Inuyasha growled. "What are you talking about!?"

"She ran away! All because you were with-" She stopped, unable to speak as Kikyo emerged from the bushes, wrapping her arms around Inuyasha's waiste. Inuyasha, surprisingly, smiled back, and made a move to kiss her.

"INUYASHA! What are you doing!? How can you be so calm when Kagome could be dead!" Sango screamed and collapsed on the ground. Not because of exhaustion, but because of shock. Tears were once again coming to the edges of her eyes.

"What in the world is wrong with you!?" Inuyasha said, though he knew exactly what it was for.

"Duh! You're standing there like nothing happened, with Kikyo!" Shippou screamed with surprising rage, abandoning his spot under the tree to kick Inuyasha in the leg.

"Ouch! What was that for!?" He yelled, now hopping on one foot, holding onto the one Shippou had kicked.

Miroku knelt down next Sango, patting her arm. "I think that is pretty obvious." He yelled angerly, turning to the hanyou, for he too was surprised at the actions Inuyasha was sporting. "You break Kagome's heart, stay with Kikyo all night most likely doing only the gods KNOWS what, then return with with her as if nothing ever happened!"

Inuyasha growled, now letting go of his foot to stare angerly at the group.

Kikyo put an arm on Inuyasha's shoulder, smiling. "Shouldn't we tell them our secret?" She purred innocently.

Inuyasha calmed, and nodded. "Kikyo is going to help us collect the jewel shards from now on." He said.

"WHAT!?" The group yelled. Shippou once again began to cry.

"Inuyasha! How could you do this!?" Sango yelled.

"It's insane! How could you be so emotionless! If it wasn't for your ears, I would I assume I was staring at Sesshomaru!" Miroku yelled, making Inuyasha growl.

"Atleast let me explain!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Fine. But you better have an unbelieveable reason for this. And we WILL find Kagome!" Sango growled. The group agreed and headed to the hut. And, much to everyone's displeasure, excluding Inuyasha of course, Kikyo followed them.
