Chapter 5: A Secret Untold
"Inu Yasha! You left Lauren behind!" Kagome yelled in Inu Yasha's arms.
"She's fine. If my brother didn't kill her before, he wont kill her now. Besides, she gets in the way!" Inu Yasha said.
"WHAT! Inu Yasha! SIT!" Kagome yelled, and the three of them went plummeting toward the ground.
*~*WHAM*~*
Inu Yasha landed first. Then Kagome landed on top of him and Shippo laded in her arms. (Inu Yasha landed like usual, Kagome landed as though she was sitting on him and Shippo landed in her arms). Kagome got up, off Inu Yasha and sat on a tree root nearby.
"Inu Yasha, I don't want to leave Lauren by herself with your brother." Kagome said putting her head in her hands.
"My brother always treats a guest with kindness, no matter who it is. She'll be fine." Inu Yasha said finally off the ground, and kneeling next to Kagome. She looked at him worried.
"She'll be fine, I promise." Inu Yasha said, getting close to Kagome.
"Okay! No more of this! No mushy stuff in front of the kitsune!" Shippo yelled covering his eyes. "Oh shut up, Shippo." Inu Yasha said, seeing Kagome smile a little.
Kagome looked up at Inu Yasha. "Inu Yasha, I sense another shard." She said quietly.
"3 in one day? That's the best we've done since Sango and Miroku joined us. I hope they're doing ok with shard rumors." Inu Yasha said smirking and getting ready to fight.
Meanwhile, back with Lauren and Sesshoumaru, they get ready to go back to the demon lord's palace.
"Well, he left you here. I guess that means, back to my castle." Sesshoumaru said, lifting Lauren.
"Ah!" Lauren said looking at her arm.
"We'll get that fixed when we get there." Sesshoumaru said looking at the cut on Lauren's arm.
He jumped into the air and flew back to the castle. While they flew Lauren fiddled with the little glass ball around her neck. It was about the size of a pearl. She thought about how she saw the faint glow when she was attacked and the explosion from earlier. Finally, Sesshoumaru landed in front of the castle door and put Lauren on her feet. They went inside. Lauren looked around, like she'd never been there before.
"Well come on, there's nothing you haven't already seen. Go get a hot bath and clean that up. I'll send a servant to dress it for you." Sesshoumaru said walking toward his room. Lauren followed him, because the bath was three doors down from his room.
She was still looking around. 'Something's missing.' She thought.
"Sesshoumaru? Where are Jaken and Rin?" Lauren asked realizing what was missing.
"Jaken is not to disturb me and Rin is sleeping." Sesshoumaru said walking to his bedroom door. Lauren stopped at the bath door.
"A servant will be there shortly to dress your cut and when you finish come to my room." Sesshoumaru said in a slightly demanding voice.
"Yes, sir." Lauren said clinching her fist and walked into the bath. 'Ah! He's turned back to the not so nice Sesshoumaru I met the other day. I hate it when he's like that.' Lauren thought as she undressed and got into the hot bath. She put her arm in the water, forgetting about the cut.
"Owch." She said as the door slid open to show one of Sesshoumaru's servants.
"Hello, My Lady. Allow me to fix that up for you." The servant said bowing and saw the cut on Lauren's arm.
"Thanks." Lauren said as the servant walked over and bent down to dress Lauren's cut.
"My Lady is lucky." The servant said. "Oh, why is that?" Lauren asked watching the servant fix her cut.
"My Lord is in love with you. He won't admit it, but I can tell. My Lord goes, ---weak in the knees, I guess you could say. Every time he's around you he always wants to get closer to you. He never likes to show it, but I can see that he would do anything for you. He'd protect you with his life. He just doesn't know how to say it." The servant said with a smile.
Lauren looked at her surprised. 'In love with ME!' She thought.
"Does My Lady love him in return?" The servant asked. "-I don't know" Lauren said looking down at the water and slightly blushed.
The servant smiled. "Well if you do, My Lady, then show it. My Lord won't admit to loving a human. I know about the other day. He tried to kiss you, but Jaken interrupted. My Lord was thankful, but not too thankful. As the days go by I can tell he grows even, more fond of you. The other day he wouldn't come out of his room. He didn't eat. I don't even think he slept. But I think you should either say something or do something, or My Lord will die from missing you." The servant said finishing fixing Lauren's cut.
Lauren was quiet for a long time. "Well, My Lady, that should do it." The servant said getting up and bowing. "Thanks." Lauren said and was quiet again.
The servant walked to the door and stopped. "My lady?" The servant said. Lauren looked over at her. "My Lord might even want you to stay with him. Consider the thought, do you love him or not." The servant said and walked out of the bath.
Lauren stared at the spot that the servant had been standing. 'In love with me?' Lauren asked herself again. 'A demon-a demon LORD-in love with me? How?'
After a few minutes Lauren peaked through Sesshoumaru's bedroom door.
"Finished? Did you enjoy it?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Yes, thank you." Lauren said.
"Well, come in, you're no stranger in this house." Sesshoumaru said getting out of his chair and came to the door.
Lauren came into the room and sat down on the end of the bed. "What's wrong? Did my servant not treat you properly?" Sesshoumaru asked getting ready to yell at his servant.
"No! No, she was very nice." Lauren said smiling.
"Then what's wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Tired, I guess. Mad too." Lauren said with a little chuckle.
"Then lay down and rest." Sesshoumaru said sitting next to her. "Mad at what?"
"Inu Yasha. I hate him so much! He almost let me die out there! If it hadn't been for Kagome, he wouldn't have saved me. He said 'The only reason I'm saving you is because you're a friend of Kagome's.' Ah! I wish he would just go off and die! Maybe rot in some corner of this damn planet!" Lauren yelled jumping up and pointing out the window toward the battlefield of dead demon corpses.
"Now, come on. I'm sure he didn't mean-" "Didn't mean anything? Yea right! He doesn't care if I die or not! I just get in his damn way all the time! He could care less!" Lauren yelled.
Sesshoumaru stared at her. 'Wow! She really hates him.' He thought.
"I seriously want him to just-Ah! I would kill him myself if I could! I swear, he's such an ass!" Lauren yelled.
"Calm down! Lay down and get some sleep." Sesshoumaru said pulling Lauren to the bed.
"Sleep! Yea right! I can't sleep, I can't even close my eyes!" Lauren said, allowing herself to be pulled to the bed.
Sesshoumaru sat on the bed holding Lauren's hands and he looked up at her. She looked down at him and looked quite angry. But when she looked into Sesshoumaru's golden eyes she calmed down and just stood there.
"Lauren, calm down ok. You'll probably end up killing something later. 'Probably Jaken' But right now you need your sleep." Sesshoumaru said and pulled Lauren onto the bed.
"But I-" Lauren stopped when Sesshoumaru's hand went over her mouth. They lay next to each other. Lauren rolled over on her side and made Sesshoumaru her pillow.
Sesshoumaru watched her as she slowly fell asleep. He could smell her sweet smell. He thought about a lot of things while he watched her sleep.
'Did you HAVE to make her human, Father? But human or not-am I-in love with this girl?' He thought looking at Lauren. Her wet hair lay over her neck and spread over her bath robe.
After a while he fell asleep with all those thought flying around in his head.
