Author's Note: Sesshoumaru knows something and he's not telling anyone.
After Lauren went to the feudal era every demon could since her.
Sesshoumaru got to her first, and now everyone is after her. What's going
to happen? Is Lauren ever going to see Kagome again?
Chapter 2: Hidden Secrets
"Please take me back to my friends." Lauren pleaded.
Sesshoumaru just shook his head and went faster. Lauren looked down slightly and shivered.
"Ooooooh Lord, are we really that high up?" Lauren whispered to herself.
After a few minutes Sesshoumaru went down into the woods. He landed and put Lauren down.
"There is a spring over there, go get a bath. I'll come and stand watch. I won't watch you!" Sesshoumaru said, seeing Lauren blush a little.
"Umm, ok. If you say so." Lauren said walking to a nearby spring. "And hurry up!" Sesshoumaru said, walking behind her.
Lauren sped up and got to the spring. She looked back at Sesshoumaru to see if he was looking. When she saw he was looking the other way, Lauren slipped off her clothes and got into the water.
"AH! This water's cold!" Lauren said ducking under. She came up after a minute and looked around. Sesshoumaru wasn't there.
"Wow, my first time here and I was captured, and by Lord Sesshoumaru." Lauren whispered to herself.
She went over to her bag that was sitting on the shore next to the spring. She took out her shampoo and soap and started to wash up.
"Wow, Lord Sesshoumaru is as good looking as Kagome said, but he's soo mean!" Lauren said with a grumpy face as she washed her hair.
"I wish he were nicer, then I'd like him even better." Lauren said, not realizing that Sesshoumaru was sitting up in a tree watching and listening to her.
'Father, you chose a good host. She is beautiful. But she's human and she's a friend of that half-breed brother of mine. She was the one that you chose to come and kill my brother---but how can she when she's his friend? Somehow I need to turn her against him.' Sesshoumaru thought as he watched Lauren and listened to their surroundings.
Lauren heard a noise behind her and jerked her head to see who it was. She quickly got dressed and put her stuff in her bag. "Lord Sesshoumaru? Is that you?" Lauren asked slowly.
At the call of his name Sesshoumaru snapped out of his thoughts and almost fell out of the tree he sat in. He jumped down in front of Lauren and looked around.
"Sorry I fell asleep." The Lord lied.
Lauren looked at him and put her hand on her hips. "Yea right. You just didn't hear anything. You're losing your touch, M'Lord." Lauren said with a smirk, she put her hands on her hips.
Sesshoumaru looked back at her and smirked. He liked her sarcasm. He reached for his sword and looked around. He listened to the silence.
"AAHH!" Lauren yelled ducking before something even had a chance to jump on her from behind.
Sesshoumaru turned and sliced through a frog demon that was after someone or something. 'Damn, everyone is ganna be after her now!' Sesshoumaru thought, seeing another demon.
"Umm, Lord Sesshoumaru you might wanna duck!" Lauren yelled as a fox demon jumped into the air and swung his sword at Sesshoumaru.
"You! Come here girl!" Someone whispered behind Lauren.
Lauren turned around to see another demon, sitting on the water. Not able to control her legs, Lauren started walking toward the demon in the water.
"She's now mine Sesshoumaru! The evil with in the girl will fuse together with my soul and I will kill Inu Yasha and that wench of his and take the shikon no tama!" The demon yelled as Lauren walked into the water. Her tennis shoes were now under the water and the demon gestured her forward.
"No! She's mine!" Sesshoumaru yelled as he ran to the water and grabbed Lauren's hand. Lauren tried to pull away from him and get to the demon in the water, but Sesshoumaru would not let go of his "prized possession."
Sesshoumaru grabbed Lauren with his tail and swiftly picked up her bag and flew off. Lauren awoke from the trance that the water demon had put on her. She was in Lord Sesshoumaru's arms and he was flying away from the spring as fast as possible.
"S-Sesshoumaru? What just happened?" Lauren asked surprised as though she was in a trance.
"Nothing---Get some rest." Sesshoumaru lied. Lauren took his advice and cuddled in his arms.
Meanwhile at Kaede's village, Kagome was freaking out.
"I can't believe this! My best friend kidnapped and she just got here. And she had to be kidnapped by YOUR brother! AAAHHH!" Kagome yelled pointing at Inu Yasha.
"Feh, one less person to worry about. She was annoying anyway." Inu Yasha said.
Kagome's mouth dropped. "Inu Yasha, 'SIT'" Kagome yelled and stomped away with Shippo right behind her, not bothering to watch Inu Yasha 'Kiss the Dirt.'
"Inu Yasha? What just happed? Who was that blond haired girl that Sesshoumaru kidnapped.
"Kagome's friend. But if you ask me there's something strange about her." Inu Yasha said spitting dirt out of his mouth and shaking it out of his hair.
"AAAHHH! Inu Yasha! I hate you! WE HAVE TO FIND LAUREN!" Kagome yelled.
"We'll do it in the morning." Inu Yasha said angrily.
"Really? Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Kagome yelled happily as she ran to Inu Yasha and hugged him.
Inu Yasha was surprised, but after a moment accepted the hug. "Let's get some sleep." He said jumping up into a tree.
Kagome nodded and went into Kaede's hut with Shippo.
While they were sleeping, Sesshoumaru was taking Lauren somewhere where no one could get to her, but him. He got to his castle and opened the door. Rin came running up to him but skidded to a halt when she saw Lauren in his arms.
"Oooo, who's the pretty lady.Sesshy-sama? Is she ganna stay with us? Will Rin finally have someone to play with other than mean old Jaken?" Rin asked, and she went on and on with questions.
"Not tonight Rin, she needs her rest. JAKEN!" Sesshoumaru said smiling down at Rin.
"Yes, My Lord?" Jaken said running to the front door.
"Take Rin to bed, it's past her bed time." Sessoumaru said walking to his room.
"Aw, but Sesshy-sama." Rin said upset. Rin looked at Sesshoumaru with a tear in her eye.
"Go on. Go to bed, for tonight. If you want to play with the pretty lady, then you need your sleep." Sesshoumaru said looking down at her.
Rin smiled and ran off in the direction of her room, with Jaken following behind her struggling to keep up, with the little girl.
Sesshoumaru watched as the little girl went to her room. The he slowly walked to his room. He looked at Lauren while he walked to his room. Her long blond hair was almost dry hung around her face. Her tennis shoes were still wet too. Sesshoumaru got to his room and leaned against the door to open it. He walked over to his bed and sat Lauren down. When he sat her down, she stirred a little and rolled over on her side. He covered her with his warm blanket and went to sit in a chair by the window. He read by the glow of the moonlight.
After about an hour he got bored of his book and sat it down on the table next to his chair. He sat there watching Lauren sleep and thought about how he was going to turn her against his half-breed of a brother.
'How am I going to turn her against him? Even more so, how am I going to keep her away from the other demons? Now that she's here everyone can since her and will come for her.' He thought as he watched Lauren roll onto her stomach.
'How can I be so kind to her? She isn't even a demon, yet as soon as I saw her I felt different. She somehow even got me to fight to protect her, and I'd NEVER protect a human---well unless you count Rin. But that's different.' He thought as he remembered the fight from earlier.
'You had to chose her, Father. Why? She's not afraid of me and she even kind of helped me during the fight. ---She thinks I'm------Good looking? What is---why do I feel so weird around her?' He thought through the night while Lauren slept.
