Chapter four - Second thoughts
Kagome woke up to find herself lying in her bedroom, and bolted up. 'How did I get in here?' She thought. She recalled wandering around the castle last night and falling asleep in a chair. She shrugged it off and got up, stretching.
There was a knock at the door, and then some kind of green toad entered the room.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Ahh! It's another human!" It yelled.
"Aiek!" Kagome shrieked. "Atleast I'm not some green blob!" She smacked him upside the head, leaving him unconious and walked out of the room. (A/N Ahem..To those who didn't already guess, the green blob was Jaken. -_-')
As she headed down a random hall, she bumped into death itself.
"Sesshomaru.." Kagome said to the towering youkai in front of her. She shuddered. "Gomen." 'Okay, why did I just apologize to Sesshomaru!? Oh well. Must be my fear.'
Sesshomaru was amused at her nervousness, trying to stop a smile from playing across his face. "Just make sure it doesn't happen again." He said cooly.
"Umm..Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, rubbing the back of her neck. She laughed nervously, causing the Western Lord to arch an elegant eyebrow. "How do I get to the courtyard?"
Sesshomaru restrained another chuckle. The way she stood there, her eyes pleading, she looked like a little girl lost in a candy store.
"Follow me." He said, and began to walk down a hallway, Kagome following nervously behind.
'Why is he being so..Nice?' She wondered.
They entered the quartyard that she had seen the previous night a few minutes later. Kagome gasped. 'It's even more beautiful in the day time.' She thought.
She turned to thank Sesshomaru, but he was already headed inside. She sighed. 'Oh well.' She thought. 'Atleast I'm not inside that stuffy castle anymore.' She made a mental note to memorize the way in which to get to the courtyard, for she feared if she asked Sesshomaru again he might just go ahead and finish her off.
She stared in awe at the courtyard. She hadn't gotten a good look at it last time. There were all kinds of roses, fountains, and several lakes. In the far distance, she could see a fence.
'That must be where it ends..This place is huge!' She exclaimed to herself.
She stopped at a lake, staring at it with awe. It was nearly dawn, and the sun was beginning to peak over the mountain tops in the distance, making the lake sparkle.
She sighed. To her surprise, she hadn't thought about Inuyasha at all. Not that this bothered her, in a way it sort of made her proud. She proved to herself that she didn't need him to go on.
Kagome squeaked as two arms wrapped around her legs, fearing it was a snake. She looked down and smiled at Rin, who was staring up at her with big brown eyes.
"Ohayou, Kagome-sama!" Rin said happily.
"Konichiwa and ohayou, Rin-chan." Kagome replied, bending down to the girls level and patting her head softly.
Rin giggled. "Fluffy-sama said Rin could come to visit Kagome-sama while he does his work!" She exclaimed.
Kagome sweatdropped. "Did you say..Fluffy-sama?" She asked.
Rin nodded her head rapidly. "That's Sesshomaru-sama's nickname that Rin calls him!"
Kagome couldn't help but collapse to the ground in a fit of giggles, and Rin began to laugh soon after.
Kagome suddenly sat up, gasping. 'Jewel shards.' She thought to herself. 'Three of them! And they're coming FAST!'
Rin abandoned her laughter and looked up at Kagome with curious eyes. "Kagome-sama, what's wrong?"
Kagome turned to the young girl. "Rin-chan," She said sternly. "I want you to run into the castle, tell Sesshomaru to get out here quick, and hide."
Rin nodded and ran to get Sesshomaru.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru sat inside his office, trying to establish some type of work to do. But his thoughts kept drifting back to the heart broken miko he had known for a long time, yet known her for only a short period of time.
He rubbed his temples and growled in annoyance. 'I must just need to rest. There is no WAY I care for that miko.' He told himself confidently.
A voice in his head kept nagging him. 'Oh really?' It said. 'If you don't care for her, why did you carry her back to her bedroom last night?'
Sesshomaru growled. 'Shut up.' He told it. 'I didn't ask for your opinion, so just go away.'
'Ha, telling yourself to go away. Not all that simple.' It laughed and then faded away.
Rin ran in, gasping for breath. "Sesshomaru-sama!" She breathed. "Kagome-chan told Rin to go inside and get you, and for Rin to hide as soon as possible!"
Sesshomaru's eyes widened ever so slightly.
'A youkai.' He thought, picking up a scent of a demon, heading in the direction of his castle at surprising speed.
Sesshomaru turned to Rin and nodded. Rin then quickly went to look for a place to hide as Sesshomaru grabbed Toukijin and headed outside.
He chuckled under his breath. 'Even if it does have agility,' He told himself. 'It's still no match for me.' And with that, he was off, bounding into the fields where Kagome was currently waiting.
