Chapter 14: Castle sleepover!!!
"What are we going to do?" Kagome asked.
"Get to your camp and pack everything up....quickly." Leon said.
"Why?" Inu Yasha asked.
"We're going to stay somewhere safe tonight and tomorrow. No shard hunting for a few days." Leon said.
"But..." Kagome tried to protest.
"Hurry up!" Leon said and everyone ran back to the camp and packed up.
"Where are we going?" Miroku asked.
"You'll find out, monk." Leon said lifting his sister into his arms.
Inu Yasha put Kagome on his back and Shippo held onto her. Miroku and Sango both got on Kirara when she transformed. They followed Leon for a while.
"Why are we trusting this guy, Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked while they followed him.
"He's Lauren's brother and he's one of the good guys." Kagome said.
"But he's friends with both Naraku and Sesshoumaru...doesn't that mean he's a bad guy?" Shippo asked.
"I agree with the fox." Inu Yasha said.
After a while they began to fly over familiar territory. Inu Yasha looked down when they started to land.
"Oh no." He said.
"Where are we?" Sango asked.
Miroku looked around. He knew something about this land was familiar but he wasn't sure what it was.
"Just over that hill..." Leon said.
"Seeshoumaru's castle?" Lauren whispered.
Leon nodded.
"We must stay there for a few days. Sesshoumaru knows we're coming. He said he'd have a servant girl take you to his room to say hello if he wasn't already at the door to meet us." He said.
"I know where his room is...I've been there enough." Lauren smirked.
They got to the castle and the door opened. A servant girl stood waiting for them. "Good evening m'lady." She said looking at Lauren.
"Hi."
"I shall take you to M'lord's room." The servant girl said.
"No, it's ok. Find them a place to sleep. I know where to go." Lauren said.
Leon didn't wait for the servant girl to find him a room. He apparently had one since he flew off in the opposite direction of where the servant girl was taking the others.
Lauren said goodnight to everyone. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Be careful Lauren. Sesshoumaru isn't the best guy to be around." Kagome said and Lauren smiled.
"Goodnight."
They went their separate ways and Lauren got to Sesshoumaru's room in no time. She was glad she remembered where it was or she would have gotten lost again.
She knocked on the door. It was already opened a little so she walked in. Sesshoumaru was sitting in the same chair he had been sitting in that one morning when Lauren was fist brought to his castle.
"Hi." She said putting her bag down by the door.
Sesshoumaru srood up and gave her a small smirk. She knew he never smiled so she was glad that she at least got a smirk. She walked over to him and hugged his neck.
"I missed you." She said with a smile.
Sesshoumaru just looked at her. He noticed that she still had the necklace around her neck and hadn't lost it. He was happy about that. Lauren looked at him for a moment then started toward the bed. Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm before she got out of reach and pulled her back to him.
"You won't leave this castle again." He said kissing her.
Lauren was totally surprised. She wasn't expecting him to kiss her or demand that she stay with him forever. He pulled away from her and she looked at him a little confused.
"But what about...my friends...and family? And school?" She asked.
"I don't care anything about those things. I want you to stay here. I don't want you to leave my sight again. Do you know how much sleep I lose not being around you?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I..."
"I haven't been able to sleep for a while. But before I knew you I was able to sleep just fine all night every night."
"I'm...sorry."
"Naraku cannot have you. You are mine and always will be."
"That's a little demanding don't you think?" She asked.
Sesshoumaru's golden eyes gleamed in the moonlight that came through the window. He looked at her. She thought for a moment that his eyes were sad and wished that she stay there.
"I'm tired...can I sleep on it?" She asked.
"No." He said simply.
"But..."
"No."
She looked at him angrily. "I'm not something for someone to fight over."
Sesshoumaru didn't respond to that. Lauren sighed and looked out the window. She walked over to the window and watched all the demons in Sesshoumaru's land. They were fighting off demons that were not welcome in the western lands.
"Why..." she asked.
Sesshoumaru walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Do you not want to be mine?"
"Never said that...but...what about...my home?" Lauren asked.
Sesshoumaru kissed her neck. Lauren smiled. "Please..."
Lauren's eyes widened. She had never heard him say please before. Did he really want her that bad?
Without another word he let go of her and went to the bed and lay down. She stayed looking out of the window for a while thinking then she lay in bed and they both fell asleep.
"What are we going to do?" Kagome asked.
"Get to your camp and pack everything up....quickly." Leon said.
"Why?" Inu Yasha asked.
