Okay, so just a little warning there is a slight lime in this chapter.no lemon yet, but soon!!! I am trying my hardest to make chapters longer, but you have to understand, that I can't just make this really long chapter that goes on and on, there needs to be some where to stop it and sometimes that means it is a little short.
Well, any way.here is another chapter.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Okay, a little thing you should know, even though it seems like she has only been there a day, in the castle time is different, because of unknown forces. (hehehe!) Moving on, in the outside world she has actually been there for a month. Just a little information for this chappie!!!!
A heart of ice, Is like the glass, That contains this fragile rose.
For if you love, You will be free, If not always this way you will be.
Last Time: Kagome laughed at his energy. She was excited to start the day; she was going to invite them all to the festival.
~Forbidden Forest~
Chapter 8
They all sat down at the dinning room table together. Even though Sesshomaru didn't show it on his cold expressionless face he was quite pleased that Kagome was dinning with them this morning. It caused him to be a little more reasonable then most mornings.
*Flash Back*
When Kagome had first left the Kitchen and reentered the dinning room she looked around it with a curious manner. The young woman took in all the dark wood and dark colors, pausing to think a moment she turned to Sesshomaru.
"Why do you keep every thing so dark?" the lord just looked at her, she continued, "I mean, open the curtains, they block out all the light and the beautiful view of the rose garden. If I am going to be staying here, there are going to be some changes."
She stood, hands on hip looking the majestic, powerful demon right in the face with the questioning look. With the flick of his wrist almost as though were blowing her off he muttered, "do what you wish."
Kagome smiled brightly jumping towards him and placing a death tightening grip around his shoulders, it was an innocent hug, but Sesshomaru felt a heat rising to his cheeks and in other places. He couldn't help but let a smirk cross his face as he slowly raised his arms to make the hug whole by embracing her as well.
After their short "hug", Kagome lept off around the room throwing curtains open letting light shine through the dark room. As she opened the last one, she threw one of her award winning smiles over her shoulder at Sesshomaru, who felt himself give her a small smile in return.
Being surprised at his action Kagome has turned quickly, when she spun to retreat back to the table he realized that a slight blush was still evident on her creamy cheeks. Smiling to him self he felt a wave of emotion rush over his body, being proud that he had caused such a reaction out of her. He was the cause of something other then pain for her.
*End Flash Back*
The demon lord was roused from his thoughts when he felt something small and warm rest itself on his arm. Looking up he saw Kagome looking at him with warmth in her eyes. He gave her questioning look.
"I wanted to ask you all if you would like to come to a festival that my village is having. I didn't realize that it was going to be today. I thought there was more time, but never the less; would you all like to come?"
Sango and Shippo looked as though their eyes would pop out of their heads. Shippo was wearing a look of pure excitement where as Sango had astonishment written across hers. In the back of both their minds they were asking what had led her to be so bold.
Sesshomaru picking up on their underlying question threw out a quick flat remark, "Kagome and I came to an agreement, if you wish to go with her feel free, I will join you this afternoon."
Shippo jumped out of his seat and ran to Kagome, Sango in hot pursuit. "We need to find something to wear!" Sango yelled grabbing Kagome and flying up the stairs with her.
Kagome gave Sesshomaru a quick glance before she was pulled completely out of view; in her eyes there lay three significant emotions, happiness, trust, and love? The demon lord of the Western Lands sat there, for the first time in a long time with a look of happiness, pure happiness.
~*~
Sango called out to Sesshomaru, but there was no reply. She turned to Kagome, "He is probably of sulking somewhere." Kagome laughed, "No I think he is more the type that broods some where dark."
At that Sango and Shippo laughed in unison, "It seems like you know him pretty good!" Sango exclaimed hinting at some thing that Kagome completely brushed off.
"What ever," the raven haired beauty nudged her friend, "I think what we need to do is get going to that festival before it's over." Kagome knew that indeed it did actually last for a week, but they didn't have to know that.
She ushered the two out of the front door and down the stairs, looking back at the castle as they walked down the entrance wishing that Sesshomaru could have come with them then, she wanted to be with him, to show him her home, what she was really like.
Unbeknownst to them, a demon stood looking out his window at the girl he thought he loved and his two best friends walking away from him. A slight pang of hurt flooded through his body before he reminded him self he would be joining them and that he had been invited. Turning away from the window, he walked to his closet.
~*~
The trio reached the village and their senses were over taken by smells and things that were new to them, well two of them to be exact. Sango looked at Kagome, "Sango, take Shippo and go, have a good time, I know this is new for you!"
Sango and Shippo rushed off together, they looked like two children in a candy store, well one of them was a child, kind of..what ever Kagome shook her head and went off in search of people and neighbors that she knew.
"Kagome!" a young man came up to her, "Hojou." Kagome had a slight tone of annoyance in her voice.
"Where have you been?"
Kagome cringed at the question, was he really this stupid. This boy Hojou had "liked" her since they were children he had always followed her around, knowing a scary amount about her, but he was a little slow, okay really slow she admitted to her self, for being so stupid it was really hard to get rid of him though, not really wanting to talk she brushed him off.
"You know I am here with my friends from a village farther west, I need to find them, they have not attended a festival like this before." Kagome said hinting at him to go away through the whole sentence.
"Really, well we could show them around together."
"No!...I mean I promised them I would do it so, see you later okay!"
With that she made a mad dash to get away from him, getting lost in the crowd she let out a sigh and continued on her way to see the village, where she had grown up, she missed it, but didn't wanted to hit herself, she had only been gone one day.
Then she thought about what Hojou has said, where have you been? He wouldn't have asked that if she had been gone a day would he? But, he was pretty dense, oh stop, she scolded her self she was here to have fun.
~*~
The skies had started to grey when she ran into Shippo and Sango; they looked as though they were ready to pass out from exhaustion. Kagome smiled at them, they had really worn them selves out running around and looking at every thing.
"If you want to go back feel free!" Kagome chirped at the duo.
"Okay." The young woman laughed at them, they sounded like drones.
"See you guys later, I am going to hang around in case Sesshomaru comes." she trailed off thinking of him.
"He's here!" Shippo shouted coming to life for a minute, "We saw him just a little while ago."
"Good luck finding him in this crowd." Sango laughed. "See you later Kagome, have fun."
With that the two of them disappeared off into the sea of people on their way home. After walking through the crowded streets searching, Kagome finally gave up. She decided that she was tired as well and would see Sesshomaru when she got back.
She soon disappeared into the sea of people as well.
~*~
It started raining, so he left the village, the smell had become too great for him with his sensitive nose. Leaving the village is when he saw her ahead of him. Her black tresses waving in the light breeze with the water running down her creamy skin and her white dress slowing around her.
Once again the demon lord was reminded of a fallen angel. He stopped as she turned and ran off into the field had she seem him. Speeding up to see what she was doing, he ran in a light jog up to the bend where she had seemed to vanish.
He stopped abruptly when he saw her, dancing, spinning laughing alone in the rain. He thought for a moment if it had been any one else he would have though them to be loony, but with her it was some what intoxicating.
Before Sesshomaru knew what he was doing he called out to her, she stopped spinning her hair landing over one shoulder her skirt continuing to flow around her for a moment before falling at her legs. A smile across her face, with slightly pink cheeks from her athletic excursion moments before.
"Sesshomaru," she ran towards him. Suddenly he felt a fear rise over him, not knowing what to do he ran, in the direction of a small woods. What first started as fear, turned into game to tag or chase to be more exact.
Running through the woods they laughed and yelled, he felt like a child. He stopped suddenly upon finding a beautiful spring. Not being able to stop as fast as the demon lord Kagome ran right into him causing him to fall off the rock and into the water.
As he fell he thought of a mean trick. He plunged into the water, but as Kagome waited he didn't come up. Growing frightened she jumped in herself; searching for him. Finally giving up she came to the surface with tears running down her cheeks.
She felt the water around her splash a little and opened her eyes to Sesshomaru before her. Growing angry at his game she hit him the chest. He took on an expression of mock hurt and put on a face of a hurt puppy.
Kagome no longer being mad at him couldn't help but laugh, he looked so cute! They continued with a game of splashing and dunking. The rain beat down causing a curtain of bead around them, before they knew what their bodies where doing that had tangled them selves in a tight embrace.
Sesshomaru looked into Kagome's eyes with such a trance that a heat began to rise in Kagome. A want a need, she slowly raised her hands to either side of his face, letting her body take control over her mind, her lips brushed against his, causing something to rage through her body, causing her to shutter slightly.
Pulling away she saw Sesshomaru has closed his eyes, a look of ecstasy apparent on his face. He opened his golden eyes slightly looking through a haze to see Kagome cheeks pink, lip slightly swollen, and two eyes full of love and lust.
Answering her bodies call he leaned into her for a passion filled kiss.
