Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, if I did, I'd be laughing at all the
fanfics out there, but I don't, so I can't laugh, unless they are meant to
be funny, in which case I will laugh, so there!....I need to lay off the
sake.....
~*~Last time: "That bastard brother of mine! Stealing Kagome like that!" "It's your fault Inuyasha! Making Kagome-chan so upset in the first place!""You'd be dead Kagome." "Sure....maybe I could help take out the youkai?" "PERVERT!" ~*~
~*~Chapter 7: Patrollings and Meetings~*~
"Here you are Rin-chan." Kagome handed the little girl a worksheet with some math problems.
"What is it Kagome-chan?" Rin asked, looking at all the math problems.
"It's a worksheet. You do the problems and write them down on the paper and I'll check your answer when you're done." Rin nodded and ran down the hallway, right into Sesshoumaru's leg.
"Rin, no running in the halls, how many times have I told you?" The Taiyoukai looked down at the human child. Rin counted on her fingers and held up four of them.
"Four times Sesshoumaru-sama!" With that she ran off and Kagome heard a string of curses from Jaken, who appeared around the corner with little dirty footprints on his face.
While Rin was doing math, Kagome was in the dojo again with Sesshoumaru. Instead of sword fighting, today's lesson was hand-to-hand combat. Even with one arm, Sesshoumaru was sill a formidable opponent.
"Ouch!" Kagome yelped as one of Sesshoumaru's kicks hit her in the side. "I still don't see why we can't use the swords...."
"What if you were without your bow or a sword?" Sesshoumaru asked, blocking her punch.
"I'd pick up a stick and use it for a weapon." Kagome answered, attempting to punch him again.
"Real swords can cut through bone without much effort, you really think a stick would hold up against one?" He said, blocking her fist again.
"Still, I-ouch!" Kagome yelped again as another one of his kicks landed on her side. 'And he's being gentle too!'
"Kagome-chan! Kagome-chan! Rin finished her math Kagome-chan!" The girl came bounding into the dojo. Sesshoumaru held onto Kagome, keeping her from doubling over from his kick. Kagome looked over the worksheet and handed it back to Rin.
"Very good Rin-chan, you got them all right." Kagome patted Rin on the head. Rin beamed and raced off to show Jaken, who couldn't care less.
"We shall leave for the Southern Borders." Sesshoumaru said.
"Sure....just let me make sure I can still walk."
~*~Meanwhile~*~
Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kirara walked through the woods, Kirara sleeping in Sango's arms, tired from flying for so long.
"How far do you think we are from Sesshoumaru's lands?" Shippou asked from atop his perch on Miroku's shoulder.
"I'm not sure, but I hope we find them rather than Sesshoumaru finding us, he can be very unpredictable." Miroku said, keeping an eye for any sigh of danger.
"I hope Kagome is alright." Shippou said sadly.
"Me too." Miroku agreed.
"I as well, I really miss Kagome-chan. If he hurt her in anyway...." Sango growled, ready to tear the Taiyoukai of the West in half.
"I don't think he would, Sesshoumaru has a bit more honor than Inuyasha." Miroku said, trying to calm the huntress down.
"Still....." Sango replied, growling.
~*~Back with Sesshoumaru and Kagome~*~
Kagome yawned, stumbling while she was walking. She and Sesshoumaru had been walking for hours, Sesshoumaru checking a couple of the villages and finding that they were still unharmed from the youkai that was attacking villages.
"Tired?" Sesshoumaru asked, smirking. "You humans."
"It's not my fault you decided to wake up so early to train...." Kagome said sleepily.
"But it is not my fault you can't defend yourself." Sesshoumaru countered. They continued walking for some time, Kagome watched the sky as it turned from a clear blue to a bunch of oranges, reds, pinks and purples.
"Sesshoumaru...when are we stopping for the night?"
"Right now." With that, he wrapped his tail around her and jumped into a tree and rested against the tree.
"Ummm....this probably isn't good for my fear of heights...." Kagome said, trying not to look down. Even thought the feeling in her stomach wasn't from her fear of heights.
"I won't have you sleeping on the ground with a rampant youkai running around. Focus on something else." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome found something to focus on, the sunset. It was beautiful. Soon the sun set and the stars started to come out, Kagome pointed out a couple starts she knew.
"I can never see the stars like this at home." Kagome said, talking about all the lights around her home.
"Your home?" Sesshoumaru asked. A sudden gust of breeze made Kagome shiver, Sesshoumaru wrapped his tail around her tighter and brought her to rest against his chest.
"My home is far away." Kagome said, she suddenly wasn't tired and decided to explain that she lived 500 years in the future. Before she could even start to describe some of the things in her time she yawned and snuggled into his tail, falling into a deep sleep. ~*~Next Morning~*~
Shippou and Kirara awoke to a beautiful dawn, the morning light painted the skies, while tiny drops of dew clung to every flower petal. Sango had been woken up and now Miroku beared a red hand-print of his foolishness.
Five miles away, Sesshoumaru and Kagome awoke to the same sunrise.
"Did you sleep well miko?" Sesshoumaru asked, his tail still wrapped around her.
"Yup." Kagome said, then she 'eeped' when Sesshoumaru jumped from the tree and let her go from his tail.
"Shall we then?" Sesshoumaru said, walking, Kagome caught up to him and happily walked next to the Taiyoukai.
The finally arrived at the village that had been attacked by the youkai. Kagome gasped at the extent of the damage, houses were totally destroyed and the crop fields had been torn up. There were still some loose chickens and horses who's sables had been destroyed.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! Thank you for coming Sesshoumaru-sama." Kagome looked at the eldery man bowing at the Taiyoukai. He had a wound on his shoulder which looked pretty bad, Kagome also noticed many of the other villagers had wounds.
"I would like to help bandage the villager's wounds." Kagome said, looking from the old man to Sesshoumaru, who nodded. Kagome first went to check the village's supply and found them low, after convicing another girl to help her pick plants that helped with wounds, Kagome was off helping people.
"What kind of youkai attacked the village?" Sesshoumaru asked the old man while walking through the village, survaning the damage.
"We are not altogether sure, we know it was some kind of rodent....maybe a badger youkai or a weasel youkai...." The old man said, then he turned to the Taiyoukai with a worried look.
"Ummm....Sesshoumaru-sama, I'm afriad we won't be able to pay you as much....because all of our crops were destroyed and-"
"Sesshoumaru! I finished bandaging the villagers but I want to do more..." Kagome looked at the old man's worried face with concern "...what's the matter?"
"We may not be able to pay Sesshoumaru-sama because all our crops were destroyed by the youkai and most of the livestock were killed." The old man said.
"I'm sure we can work something out." Sesshoumaru said. "Come Kagome, we are going to hunt down the youkai that destroys what is mine." Kagome bowed to the man and followed Sesshoumaru out of the village.
"Wow...I didn't know people had to pay you." Kagome said.
"All Taiyoukai's have taxes, most of the yen goes back to the village in the form of livestock or land." Sesshoumaru explained.
~*~Back with Sango and co.~*~
"I'm hungry." Shippou whined from on top of Miroku's head.
"We could stop for a quick break, I'm somewhat hungry myself." The monk said. Sango nodded and sat down, Kirara mewed and started playing with Shippou. Miroku leaned against a tree while Sango looked through her pack.
"All we have left is some of Kagome's food." Sango said, pulling out a container of Ramen
"It says we need to bring a pot of water to boil, Shippou, could you and Kirara go find some water?" The fox and cat nodded and ran off.
Sango leaned over to pick up a stick. "We're going to need a fir..." The huntress whipped around and slapped the monk, his hand wandering again.
~*~
"What was that?" Kagome asked, having heard something that was oddly familiar....
"Sounded like someone getting slapped." Sesshoumaru said, Kagome's face lit up.
"I bet it's Sango and Miroku, can we....please?" Kagome asked, giving Sesshoumaru puppy eyes. Kagome was sure Rin used that look on him, so what could it hurt to try. Sesshoumaru finally gave in and walked towards the sound.
~*~
"PERVERT!" Sango yelled.
"It's no my fault Sango, my hand is cursed." Sango scowled and turned away, looking in the opposite direction of the monk, who was rubbing his cheek. Something caught Sango's eye and she turned, gasping.
"Sesshou-Sesshoumaru!" Sango said, grabbing her boomerang, Miroku grabbed his staff and turned to face the Taiyoukai, Sesshoumaru held his hand up and sighed.
"Put your weapons down. It would be a waste of my time to fight you." The Taiyoukai said, glaring at the humans.
"Where's Kagome?" Shippou growled.
"Shippou-chan!" Suddenly the fox kit was picked up and hugged like a favorite stuffed animal.
"Kagome-chan!" Sango and Miroku joined the group hug, squeezing Shippou until he turned blue. Then Miroku let his hand wander and the monk was rewarded with another handprint on his face.
For awhile the group sat and talked, Sango sat between Kagome and Miroku, Shippou was in Kagome's lap while Sesshoumaru was watching the clouds pass overhead. Miroku got the job of telling Kagome about Inuyasha and Kikyo.
"Would you all like some dinner?" Kagome asked, wanting to get off the subject of Inuyasha. Shippou nodded and ran off with Kirara to get some water while Kagome re-read the instuctions on the Ramen package.
"That smells yummy!" Shippou chirped while the noodles cooked.
"Another couple minutes." Kagome replied, stirring the noodles. When the noodles were done she served everyone and looked at Sesshoumaru. "Would you like some?" She asked.
"I don't eat human food." Sesshoumaru answered, having smelled the noodles a long time ago.
"But I've never seen you eat anything!" Kagome said.
"You wake up to late in the morning." The Taiyoukai replied, then he turned back and continued to watch the clouds. After everyone was done Kagome cleaned up, even though Sango said she would. "We must hunt down that youkai that has attacked what is mine." Sesshoumaru said, interrupting the peace.
"Can the others come too? Please Sesshoumaru?" Kagome gave him another puppy dog eye look. "Sango's a youkai hunter, she could help."
"The huntress' family hunted on my lands once. I am well aware of what she is." Sesshoumaru said.
"Can they come?" Kagome asked again. Sesshoumaru finally nodded and headed South, Kirara changed into her bigger form and everyone climbed aboard the cat youkai and followed the Taiyoukai.
"When did Sesshoumaru tolerate humans?" Miroku asked, Sesshoumaru gave him a glare, able to hear the monk's question. Sango just shrugged her shoulders.
