CHAPTER 10
It had been an hour now, an hour Kagome spend looking over everything there was to see in the elevator well almost everything. By now she was bored feeling uneasy and afraid that if some one wouldn't come the elevator would solve it's own problem by falling the rest of the way down, a thought that made Kagome's stomach do a flip-flop.
Now that her mind was no longer preoccupied she started to notice the soft swinging motion the elevator was making and suddenly Kagome decided that she needed to talk and since there was only one other person available to her.
"Don't you think someone should have been send to fix the elevator by now? Kagome tried to make her voice sound lighthearted but didn't succeed to well as her voice held a tremor in it. Sesshô maru how ever paid no attention.
That's when Kagome directed her full attention on him. The dog demon was sitting opposite her Indian style his arm folded before his chest and looking at the door was such intensity it should start to melt.
Kagome decided to try again to start a conversation. "Why don't you just use your ki to get us out of here? This time Kagome got more than she bargained for, Sesshô maru's head slowly turned to face her and his golden eyes were now staring at here with the same intensity as he had used on the door it gave Kagome a feeling of forewarn about his answer.
"Naraku has placed a barrier around this room any ki or attack in random I use will be reflected and come back at me, silly girl just use that head of yours and your mystical powers by know you must have noticed that you can see more than others." The curtness in his voice should have stopped Kagome from asking any other questions but then he did have to say Naraku.
Kagome's whole being just went in override at the mention of that name. "What- what do you mean with Naraku put a shield around this room, why would he do that and. I. I don't understand." The last was said in the voice of a scared little girl making Sesshô maru's lip crawl up in disgust human were so easily frightened and when that happened they usually were useless not thinking clearly at all.
But Kagome wasn't as far gone as Sesshô maru had expected as her next words proofed. "Don't you snub at me you told me Naraku did this and you damn well can tell me more than that, so start explaining or I will really go human on your sorry ass! Sesshô maru had to admit he was a bit impressed not because she got angry no but that she was not acting like he had calculated she acted that was what new to him nobody pulled than one on him before.
First it didn't look like he was going to answer her and Kagome didn't really feel like talking anymore anyway. Looking at her basket she remembered the book she had in her basket up until now she had forgotten, carefully shifting through the basket she retrieved the thick vollium this was good enough to take her mind of the swinging elevator and it didn't involve getting friendly with that prick.
Placing the book on her lap she opened it up and a waft of old parchment reached her nose making her nose tickle and her eyes water but Kagome refused to make any more sound. She didn't knew how he did it but somehow he seemed to make her made he irritated her with something he said or just with how he did and she got angry just like that night he informed her she wouldn't be leaving his house.
Brushing the thought out of her head Kagome went to reading the book and after the first page she was completely absorbed. The piece was very well written and the writer had made sure to use easy terms so not to confuse the readers and it was written in such a way that it was interesting, real interesting.
Still a bit flabbergasted by Kagome's not behaving like he had thought she would Sesshô maru just watched her from the corner of his eyes so not to let her know that he was watching her. He would of course never admit it but the conversation even not pleasant and with this girl who of all people had kicked him out of his own bed had taken his mind of the fact that he was locked up in a very small room.
Sesshô maru disliked small places and especially small rooms ever since the age of five and his uncle who was his guardian when his father wasn't around had locked him up in a closet as punishment. Sesshô maru had been locked up for three days before his father found him after that he couldn't stay in small rooms for long and the first few nights he couldn't leave his father out of his side the experience of being locked up in a all black room were he had been folded up because he couldn't lie or stand had left a deep impression with the young boy.
Now after being locked up in the elevator for about an hour Sesshô maru began to feel more and more uncomfortable and worse was he couldn't do a single thing about it because of the barrier Naraku had put ten up, damn that half-breed to hell and back.
But when the girl had started talking she made him forget and Sesshô maru had felt a bit better, but know she was reading a book about miko's (about time she started to find out how to work her powers) and the feeling of dread was once again creeping back in his system and he damn well wouldn't allow it so Sesshô maru decided to answer her questions anything was better than this feeling of helplessness.
"I told you last time that Naraku would find out soon enough about you and then would try to get to you, but no you had to go back with you human friends." Slowly Kagome looked up from her book so now it was all her fault but then again she reasoned he did say that Naraku would like to get his hands on her so in a way he had warned her about this. She just couldn't understand what was so important about herself to get Naraku personally involved.
When he was sure he had her full attention Sesshô maru continued. "you might even now not realize what you are but clearly your subconscious now all to well it is no coincidence you got that book because it will explain what you are and even teach you the basis of your powers of course at home I have fare wider collection, but you didn't stay around to find out." The smugness in his tone did Kagome in.
"what you- you just demanded from me to not go back home without even a proper explanation what did you expect that I would just jump an do your bidding, but then I think that is exactly what you were expecting weren't you? Kagome was getting angry again and her voice was now shaking with suppressed emotions.
Sesshô maru quirked one of his silver brows. "I remember telling you that Naraku would love to get his hands on a girl like you I would think that sufficient reason to do as I told you, but you human decided you knew better and go of not totally without some delight from my part even it mend that I would have to shadow you."
"Well that's just great blame it all on me, if you had just explained I would have been more than happy to hang around for a few days-- and what did you just say you're shadowing me! Now did Kagome most of the times get so easily upset but the thought of someone watching her every move without her knowledge and especially by him.
"You're watching me, that's why you're here also isn't. Isn't." Sesshô maru was in fact rather enjoying there little squabble because it indeed made him forget about being locked up in a small room was almost no light since a few seconds.
"Yes that is why I'm here and woman would you decease whit this annoying shrieking it is hurting my ears." By the end of his line a few more lights had given up so both were now in a dark just bearably able to see one another.
Kagome noticed know what was going on and it scared her. "What's going on is- is he- coming? Then the last two lights gave out and darkness consumed them.
:::: Sango was sitting up in the living room on the kitchen table banging her head against the wooded surface from the door Miroku watched her his mouth in a half smile while he watched her doing some damage to her own head for a change.
"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid how could I forget I'm such a baka, but then we did have this little problem with Kagura coming by but still. Stupid. Bang. Stupid. Bang. Stupid. Bang. By now Miroku thought it well advised to interrupt Sango's current train of thought and activity.
"Sango dear we all forgot about the old bird club coming by this afternoon and you have nothing to worry about Shippô is having a great time keeping them busy with his tricks and the old bags seem to enjoy it they think it's part of the program but I'm not sure about this Keade I think she might be upon us." This last was said more to himself than Sango not that Sango had been really listening.
"Houshi Sama I failed to remember this and all you care about is if one of those woman is figuring out what we are, we are talking about the reputation of the tavern who cares about this Keade." and for good measures Sango banged her head on the wooden table once more then stood up in search of some Advil she suddenly found herself with quite a nasty headache. (Now who hadn't seen that one coming)
Shaking his head Miroku went to the small closet standing next to the fridge and pulled out the Advil took one of the yellow pills out of its strip and handed it to Sango who besides suffering a headache was probably not thinking to clearly at the moment also.
"Sango of course I care about the reputation about the tavern and I didn't mean she was finding out what we are I mend it more like she knows we forgot that we they were coming." probably this was the wrong thing to say as Sango almost shocked on her pill. Quickly going to here Miroku rubbed her back until the coughing stopped and Sango's breathing returned somewhat normal.
"She knows great now we're done for, that's just great we mite as well hang all the dirty laundry out and be done with it." During her speaking her voice had gone from angry to tearful and Miroku was running out of ideas what could possible be wrong with Sango until his eye fell on the calendar, now he felt stupid himself.
"You know what Sango why don't I go down and get Mrs. Kitsune up I think you will feel so much better after talking with her." With that he backed out of the room he was good on many fields but still there were a few things that guys would just never be able to thoroughly understand and this was one of them.
Making hast at getting to Mrs. Kitsune Miroku suddenly also understood what had gotten into Sango yesterday while cleaning and why Kagome had sneaked out of the room, he really should pay more attention to this kind of thing even if it only was to make sure when he had to keep his head low.
Coming into the tavern itself Miroku was met by the side of about twenty old females all busy talking to each other or watching the show the young kitsune cup was putting op using the bar as his stage a few of the old birds were positively delighted by the small red haired boy and were cheering him on.
Walking through the crowed he caught up on some of the conversations who all revolved about stitches needle work and yarn his sense was so dulled at the end that he was easy prey for Yilla.
Almost through the crowded when Miroku felt someone grabbing his but naturally Miroku was quite shocked and when he turned to see who the offender was he wished he could sink trait through the floor and not stop until he reached the other side of the earth.
"hay there handsome how about you and me get something to do in that nice big room of yours preferably in your bed." she wiggled suggestively with her brows next to her Keade rolled her eyes but watching the monk turn ash white and then tomato red was fun also so Keade didn't interrupt immediately.
Now everybody who knows Miroku also knows what a pervert he is but even in Miroku's eyes he would have to sink quite a few levels lower before he would reach Yilla's kind of pervertedness.
"Speechless aren't you boy I bet you never had such an attempting offer before, don't you boy. But then again they don't make them like me now a days." The wrinkled old female turned towards her friend. "You see that Keade I told you I still had it in me my beauty still makes all the boys swoon."
Happy for his change of getting away Miroku didn't hesitate and went for the kitchen praying Mrs. Kitsune wouldn't chop his head of for coming inside. "Hé boy where you going, o I know you getting ready for Yilla well boy you're never going to be ready for me I'm something special." At the sound of her smokers voice Miroku had gone into a full out run.
Panting heavily Miroku closed the door behind him still hearing the laughter of delight from Yilla. That woman had to be the scariest thing walking this earth and for some reason the gods had sent her to Miroku he wondered what he could have ever done to deserve this.
"Well Miroku you better start explaining yourself or you'll be introduced to the egg chopper." Miroku's eyes sprang wide open his violet eyes looking around franticly before resting on Mrs. Kitsune's form he could only chook out a few words. "Sango. Needs. A drink. Yilla." At that point Miroku slowly sunk on the ground still in shock.
At the mention of the name Yilla Mrs. Kitsune smiled knowingly untying her apron she went to the door. "Just watch the pots and I'll go to Sango I'll be back before you know it and then you get to serve all those old woman." Miroku's eyes widen in horror at her last words, this day was so not going to be fun for him. He really must have done something horrible to deserve this.
Instead of going to Sango Mrs. Kitsune went to her bedroom first pulling a small metal box from underneath her bed. Opening it she took out a plastic sack with grey powder it contained some herbs to stabilize Sango's hormones and so her moods.
Coming into the living room she found the young woman lying sprawled over the couch staring up at the ceiling mumbling about what she was going to do to Miroku for not telling her in time about the old woman coming by.
Throwing the powder in a glass of water Mrs. Kitsune went to Sango. "Now, now dear you weren't the only one who forgot, we all did. Now drink this it will help you relax and then you cane go down and safe Miroku from the unwanted attention of one very hentai old bird."
Gulping the sweet tasting stuff down Sango listened only half to what she was told but at the mention of Miroku needed saving she was more interested. "Miroku needs saving? For some reason Sango couldn't quite believe that. "What did he do this time; don't tell me he hit on one of the old lady's? The herbs took immediate effect and Sango was already feeling her old self.
"To tell you the truth dear I think that Yilla came up with it all by herself." She gave Sango a huge wink when telling her Yilla's name. hearing that Sango's whole face split up in a smile if it was Yilla they were talking about Miroku needed saving indeed, but first she was going to enjoy the situation after all it was only once in a bleu moon that you found someone more perverted than Miroku and again the monk had this one coming for him a long time and no one ever said payback wasn't a bitch.
Both women went down wearing identical smug expressions on there face in the tavern Sango went for the bar to get hr notebook and pencil to take the orders and Mrs. Kitsune went for her kitchen, Kagome had no idea what she was missing out on but then she wasn't expected back for a few more hours.
:::: the moment the last lights gave out all Sesshô maru's senses went on sharp but he almost relaxed instantly. "No need to panic he's not coming for you not know anymore anyway his loses would be too big with me here."
For once Kagome didn't mind his high handiness because now it made her feel protected and she could even forgive him for following her for now she was not alone in this situation and for that she was thankful.
Fidgeting a bit Kagome stared in the direction where Sesshô maru would be. "You would like to tell me why Naraku wants me would you? Kagome felt really weird talking into the darkness like this. It was like talking to a wall and it felt pretty stupid.
"That I don't entirely know girl all I have been told is that he graves your powers and there for you must remain out of his grasp." Sesshô maru had some trouble breathing the situation was beginning to look more and more like the small closet from his childhood.
"Sesshô maru when are they going to get us out? Kagome's voice was merely a whisper and if it wasn't for Sesshô maru being a demon with advanced hearing he probably would have mist it, but he did hear and for once the proud Inu youkai was unable to gave any information at all.
"They will be coming- I don't know Kagome." Changing mitt sentence and unable to keep his voice completely frosted Sesshô maru had decided to be honest to her. "I don't think they're realizing that this elevator is stuck, I don't know when they'll figure it out."
He waited for accusations or a tantrum but Kagome did non of that and again Sesshô maru was surprised at her not behaving like he had suspected, but then he couldn't see her so maybe she had gone into a shock or something humans liked to do that a lot.
Figuring he would like some light himself he made a couple of energy balls to drift through the elevator giving the feeling the place was lighten by candles. The first think Sesshô maru saw was that Kagome most certainly wasn't in shock instead she was staring at him with this odd look on her face giving him the feeling she knew something he didn't also something he hadn't experienced before.
"What woman! For one second Sesshô maru's tight rain snapped but he recover almost immediately. "I would like you explain what is so funny about this."
Kagome's smile grew a bit. "Nothing Sesshô maru Sama it's just that I figured out you don't like small spaces don't you and you just called me by my name." the moment these words left Kagome's mouth she regretted them and with good reason someone as proud as Sesshô maru wouldn't like for anyone to know about there weakness.
"why don't you mind your own business like think about what you're going to do when we get out, its hardly advisable for you to go back to your tavern especially now you have seen that Naraku is indeed after you, I don't think you would like your friends to get hurt."
Tears sprung into Kagome's eyes he did have to go of like that by now she had the picture he didn't need to tell her over and over again. And she already thought of a place to stay, Inu yasha's place in the country would be just perfect it had barriers and everything she would be perfectly safe there and Miroku and Sango would be able to manage the tavern with just the two of them for a few months. Then they would pay there debt of bit by bit end they would be free to go where they pleased with mend they could get as far away from Naraku that he could search his whole live and still not find them it was a big world after all.
Slowly time past by and Sesshô maru felt himself getting more and more stressed with his situating an the mocking Kagome didn't help maybe it was time for drastic matters. "Woman cease your sulking and come over here the temperature has dropped considerably." Well it wasn't a lie it had been getting colder.
Kagome wanted to tell him what he could do but one look brought here on other thoughts the dog demon looked like he was going to go bananas any moment and in his eyes she could see as sliver of fear, he really didn't like being locked up in this small room. She made up her mind and went to sit beside him after all it had indeed been growing colder and she could use his warmth and what did his reason really matter this closeness did kinda feel nice.
Not content with her merely sitting next to him Sesshô maru wrapped his tail around her and pulled her close cradling her against his chest. "I will not be accused of letting you die Kagome so you might as well be given full advantage."
Kagome couldn't help but give a little smile she felt herself warming up even if this situation was beyond weird it didn't stop her from feeling great not to mention he really smelled good. After that Kagome's thoughts slowly became sporadic as she fell into a light slumber.
As soon as she was of Sesshô maru pulled her even closer making himself more comfortable. Placing his chin on the top of her head he inhaled her sweet fragrance his last thought before going into a very light slumber himself was that this slip of a girl must really be different for her to be able to calm him and feel so.... good.
:::: standing before the door he would be braking open in a few minutes Kouga gave the elevator a nasty glare, why had the stupid thing had to break down with his female in it and his business partner. He really hoped that Ginta and Hakaku had reached the do it your self panel by now.
After a few minutes of intense listening Kouga could indeed hear the elevator coming down ever so slowly cussing under his breath Kouga paced up and down a few times to walk his frustration of why was it when you really wanted something to happen it was like taking forever.
Finally the damn thing stopped before the opening and Kouga went for the brass door digging his talons in the gap between the doors. Mussels bulging he began to put pressure on them pushing them apart.
Suddenly the doors gave a sickening crack and Kouga could push them open with no problem at all. Whipping some sweat from his brow he looked into the elevator that was illuminated by Sesshô maru's energy balls his Safire eyes went strait fir the couple sleeping in each others arms liked they had done it all there live.
Feeling his demon rage coming to surface Kouga was only barley able to suppress it but he apparently made his presence know because he found himself to be the center of attention of Sesshô maru's golden eyes that when he looked more carefully actually had a red rim never a good sign.
Coming to alertness the first thing to enter Sesshô maru's mind was to protect nut when he noticed Kouga standing in the entrance of a now open elevator Sesshô maru reset his priorities. Still holding Kagome he stood up and walked out giving Kouga a silent comment to grab the girl's basket. He was finally getting out of this awful place and he was taking Kagome to his own house and make sure that neither was going to end up in a similar situation, one was bad enough.
:::: back at the tavern Miroku and Sango where just started to get worried about Kagome when Inu yasha stormed in. "I have got some bad news and I've some good news."
A/n: I can't help but be cheerful especially after hearing that song from maroon. "This love has taken lift of, goodbye to many times I cried." You should have seen me dancing on the other hand maybe it was a good thing you didn't see me dancing you all would have laugh to death but anyway just press that nice little button next to the submit review and you'll make me even more happy I need it after being unable to use my right arm for two days. ( got stung by a bee, death to all bee's)
To the reviewers (I really appreciate you guy's for reviewing me it means a lot to me)
Onnie: thank you so much for the lovely compliment I really appreciate it and as for the chapter length I'm afraid I can't really shorten them in they just kinda end up this long and I don't really want to because as a reader I enjoy nice long chapter and I like to do the same for my own readers.
I took an I.Q test and it came back negative: first I like to congratulate you with being my first ever flame (really no sarcasm mend) as for the rest I will let Vladimir explain come on up Vladimir. Vladimir: Pan how do I work this thing? (Pan Show's use of keyboard) o that's how it works!! "Okay dear... Vlad blinked couple of times then turns to pan and whispers "is it a boy or a girl" pan: whatever you want, just go for it." Vladimir: okay dear whatever you are if you know that witches use the fraise blesses be I can also tell you that not only females are called witches but that term is also used for the males and I might look a bit weird but I am a witch and quite proud of it. Panthera is silently applauding Vladimir's performance then says goodbye since Vladimir really needs to get back to his job.
KagomeXlegolas-rox: my friend Debby congratulates you on your name and all I can say is here's the update hope you enjoyed it.
Patrick87: well little brother I'm speechless.
Hinoke: is it okay if I call you Hinoke chan because I can't help but think about you that way as a friend. liked the poem the last sentence sounded a bit Shakespeare and here was the fluff Kagome and Sesshô maru sleeping safely in each others arms just picture them like that together with the candle light illumination it really is an adoring picture isn't it. Anyway I hope you liked it.
Disclaimer: I can at least say that I own some copy's of the manga, yeah for me.

Now after being locked up in the elevator for about an hour Sesshô maru began to feel more and more uncomfortable and worse was he couldn't do a single thing about it because of the barrier Naraku had put ten up, damn that half-breed to hell and back.
But when the girl had started talking she made him forget and Sesshô maru had felt a bit better, but know she was reading a book about miko's (about time she started to find out how to work her powers) and the feeling of dread was once again creeping back in his system and he damn well wouldn't allow it so Sesshô maru decided to answer her questions anything was better than this feeling of helplessness.

"Sango of course I care about the reputation about the tavern and I didn't mean she was finding out what we are I mend it more like she knows we forgot that we they were coming." probably this was the wrong thing to say as Sango almost shocked on her pill. Quickly going to here Miroku rubbed her back until the coughing stopped and Sango's breathing returned somewhat normal.
"She knows great now we're done for, that's just great we mite as well hang all the dirty laundry out and be done with it." During her speaking her voice had gone from angry to tearful and Miroku was running out of ideas what could possible be wrong with Sango until his eye fell on the calendar, now he felt stupid himself.
"You know what Sango why don't I go down and get Mrs. Kitsune up I think you will feel so much better after talking with her." With that he backed out of the room he was good on many fields but still there were a few things that guys would just never be able to thoroughly understand and this was one of them.
Making hast at getting to Mrs. Kitsune Miroku suddenly also understood what had gotten into Sango yesterday while cleaning and why Kagome had sneaked out of the room, he really should pay more attention to this kind of thing even if it only was to make sure when he had to keep his head low.
Coming into the tavern itself Miroku was met by the side of about twenty old females all busy talking to each other or watching the show the young kitsune cup was putting op using the bar as his stage a few of the old birds were positively delighted by the small red haired boy and were cheering him on.
Walking through the crowed he caught up on some of the conversations who all revolved about stitches needle work and yarn his sense was so dulled at the end that he was easy prey for Yilla.
Almost through the crowded when Miroku felt someone grabbing his but naturally Miroku was quite shocked and when he turned to see who the offender was he wished he could sink trait through the floor and not stop until he reached the other side of the earth.
"hay there handsome how about you and me get something to do in that nice big room of yours preferably in your bed." she wiggled suggestively with her brows next to her Keade rolled her eyes but watching the monk turn ash white and then tomato red was fun also so Keade didn't interrupt immediately.
Now everybody who knows Miroku also knows what a pervert he is but even in Miroku's eyes he would have to sink quite a few levels lower before he would reach Yilla's kind of pervertedness.
"Speechless aren't you boy I bet you never had such an attempting offer before, don't you boy. But then again they don't make them like me now a days." The wrinkled old female turned towards her friend. "You see that Keade I told you I still had it in me my beauty still makes all the boys swoon."
Happy for his change of getting away Miroku didn't hesitate and went for the kitchen praying Mrs. Kitsune wouldn't chop his head of for coming inside. "Hé boy where you going, o I know you getting ready for Yilla well boy you're never going to be ready for me I'm something special." At the sound of her smokers voice Miroku had gone into a full out run.
Panting heavily Miroku closed the door behind him still hearing the laughter of delight from Yilla. That woman had to be the scariest thing walking this earth and for some reason the gods had sent her to Miroku he wondered what he could have ever done to deserve this.
"Well Miroku you better start explaining yourself or you'll be introduced to the egg chopper." Miroku's eyes sprang wide open his violet eyes looking around franticly before resting on Mrs. Kitsune's form he could only chook out a few words. "Sango. Needs. A drink. Yilla." At that point Miroku slowly sunk on the ground still in shock.
At the mention of the name Yilla Mrs. Kitsune smiled knowingly untying her apron she went to the door. "Just watch the pots and I'll go to Sango I'll be back before you know it and then you get to serve all those old woman." Miroku's eyes widen in horror at her last words, this day was so not going to be fun for him. He really must have done something horrible to deserve this.
Instead of going to Sango Mrs. Kitsune went to her bedroom first pulling a small metal box from underneath her bed. Opening it she took out a plastic sack with grey powder it contained some herbs to stabilize Sango's hormones and so her moods.
Coming into the living room she found the young woman lying sprawled over the couch staring up at the ceiling mumbling about what she was going to do to Miroku for not telling her in time about the old woman coming by.
Throwing the powder in a glass of water Mrs. Kitsune went to Sango. "Now, now dear you weren't the only one who forgot, we all did. Now drink this it will help you relax and then you cane go down and safe Miroku from the unwanted attention of one very hentai old bird."
Gulping the sweet tasting stuff down Sango listened only half to what she was told but at the mention of Miroku needed saving she was more interested. "Miroku needs saving? For some reason Sango couldn't quite believe that. "What did he do this time; don't tell me he hit on one of the old lady's? The herbs took immediate effect and Sango was already feeling her old self.
"To tell you the truth dear I think that Yilla came up with it all by herself." She gave Sango a huge wink when telling her Yilla's name. hearing that Sango's whole face split up in a smile if it was Yilla they were talking about Miroku needed saving indeed, but first she was going to enjoy the situation after all it was only once in a bleu moon that you found someone more perverted than Miroku and again the monk had this one coming for him a long time and no one ever said payback wasn't a bitch.
Both women went down wearing identical smug expressions on there face in the tavern Sango went for the bar to get hr notebook and pencil to take the orders and Mrs. Kitsune went for her kitchen, Kagome had no idea what she was missing out on but then she wasn't expected back for a few more hours.
:::: the moment the last lights gave out all Sesshô maru's senses went on sharp but he almost relaxed instantly. "No need to panic he's not coming for you not know anymore anyway his loses would be too big with me here."
For once Kagome didn't mind his high handiness because now it made her feel protected and she could even forgive him for following her for now she was not alone in this situation and for that she was thankful.
Fidgeting a bit Kagome stared in the direction where Sesshô maru would be. "You would like to tell me why Naraku wants me would you? Kagome felt really weird talking into the darkness like this. It was like talking to a wall and it felt pretty stupid.
"That I don't entirely know girl all I have been told is that he graves your powers and there for you must remain out of his grasp." Sesshô maru had some trouble breathing the situation was beginning to look more and more like the small closet from his childhood.
"Sesshô maru when are they going to get us out? Kagome's voice was merely a whisper and if it wasn't for Sesshô maru being a demon with advanced hearing he probably would have mist it, but he did hear and for once the proud Inu youkai was unable to gave any information at all.
"They will be coming- I don't know Kagome." Changing mitt sentence and unable to keep his voice completely frosted Sesshô maru had decided to be honest to her. "I don't think they're realizing that this elevator is stuck, I don't know when they'll figure it out."
He waited for accusations or a tantrum but Kagome did non of that and again Sesshô maru was surprised at her not behaving like he had suspected, but then he couldn't see her so maybe she had gone into a shock or something humans liked to do that a lot.
Figuring he would like some light himself he made a couple of energy balls to drift through the elevator giving the feeling the place was lighten by candles. The first think Sesshô maru saw was that Kagome most certainly wasn't in shock instead she was staring at him with this odd look on her face giving him the feeling she knew something he didn't also something he hadn't experienced before.
"What woman! For one second Sesshô maru's tight rain snapped but he recover almost immediately. "I would like you explain what is so funny about this."
Kagome's smile grew a bit. "Nothing Sesshô maru Sama it's just that I figured out you don't like small spaces don't you and you just called me by my name." the moment these words left Kagome's mouth she regretted them and with good reason someone as proud as Sesshô maru wouldn't like for anyone to know about there weakness.
"why don't you mind your own business like think about what you're going to do when we get out, its hardly advisable for you to go back to your tavern especially now you have seen that Naraku is indeed after you, I don't think you would like your friends to get hurt."
Tears sprung into Kagome's eyes he did have to go of like that by now she had the picture he didn't need to tell her over and over again. And she already thought of a place to stay, Inu yasha's place in the country would be just perfect it had barriers and everything she would be perfectly safe there and Miroku and Sango would be able to manage the tavern with just the two of them for a few months. Then they would pay there debt of bit by bit end they would be free to go where they pleased with mend they could get as far away from Naraku that he could search his whole live and still not find them it was a big world after all.
Slowly time past by and Sesshô maru felt himself getting more and more stressed with his situating an the mocking Kagome didn't help maybe it was time for drastic matters. "Woman cease your sulking and come over here the temperature has dropped considerably." Well it wasn't a lie it had been getting colder.
Kagome wanted to tell him what he could do but one look brought here on other thoughts the dog demon looked like he was going to go bananas any moment and in his eyes she could see as sliver of fear, he really didn't like being locked up in this small room. She made up her mind and went to sit beside him after all it had indeed been growing colder and she could use his warmth and what did his reason really matter this closeness did kinda feel nice.
Not content with her merely sitting next to him Sesshô maru wrapped his tail around her and pulled her close cradling her against his chest. "I will not be accused of letting you die Kagome so you might as well be given full advantage."
Kagome couldn't help but give a little smile she felt herself warming up even if this situation was beyond weird it didn't stop her from feeling great not to mention he really smelled good. After that Kagome's thoughts slowly became sporadic as she fell into a light slumber.
As soon as she was of Sesshô maru pulled her even closer making himself more comfortable. Placing his chin on the top of her head he inhaled her sweet fragrance his last thought before going into a very light slumber himself was that this slip of a girl must really be different for her to be able to calm him and feel so.... good.
:::: standing before the door he would be braking open in a few minutes Kouga gave the elevator a nasty glare, why had the stupid thing had to break down with his female in it and his business partner. He really hoped that Ginta and Hakaku had reached the do it your self panel by now.
After a few minutes of intense listening Kouga could indeed hear the elevator coming down ever so slowly cussing under his breath Kouga paced up and down a few times to walk his frustration of why was it when you really wanted something to happen it was like taking forever.
Finally the damn thing stopped before the opening and Kouga went for the brass door digging his talons in the gap between the doors. Mussels bulging he began to put pressure on them pushing them apart.
Suddenly the doors gave a sickening crack and Kouga could push them open with no problem at all. Whipping some sweat from his brow he looked into the elevator that was illuminated by Sesshô maru's energy balls his Safire eyes went strait fir the couple sleeping in each others arms liked they had done it all there live.
Feeling his demon rage coming to surface Kouga was only barley able to suppress it but he apparently made his presence know because he found himself to be the center of attention of Sesshô maru's golden eyes that when he looked more carefully actually had a red rim never a good sign.
Coming to alertness the first thing to enter Sesshô maru's mind was to protect nut when he noticed Kouga standing in the entrance of a now open elevator Sesshô maru reset his priorities. Still holding Kagome he stood up and walked out giving Kouga a silent comment to grab the girl's basket. He was finally getting out of this awful place and he was taking Kagome to his own house and make sure that neither was going to end up in a similar situation, one was bad enough.
:::: back at the tavern Miroku and Sango where just started to get worried about Kagome when Inu yasha stormed in. "I have got some bad news and I've some good news."
A/n: I can't help but be cheerful especially after hearing that song from maroon. "This love has taken lift of, goodbye to many times I cried." You should have seen me dancing on the other hand maybe it was a good thing you didn't see me dancing you all would have laugh to death but anyway just press that nice little button next to the submit review and you'll make me even more happy I need it after being unable to use my right arm for two days. ( got stung by a bee, death to all bee's)
To the reviewers (I really appreciate you guy's for reviewing me it means a lot to me)
Onnie: thank you so much for the lovely compliment I really appreciate it and as for the chapter length I'm afraid I can't really shorten them in they just kinda end up this long and I don't really want to because as a reader I enjoy nice long chapter and I like to do the same for my own readers.
I took an I.Q test and it came back negative: first I like to congratulate you with being my first ever flame (really no sarcasm mend) as for the rest I will let Vladimir explain come on up Vladimir. Vladimir: Pan how do I work this thing? (Pan Show's use of keyboard) o that's how it works!! "Okay dear... Vlad blinked couple of times then turns to pan and whispers "is it a boy or a girl" pan: whatever you want, just go for it." Vladimir: okay dear whatever you are if you know that witches use the fraise blesses be I can also tell you that not only females are called witches but that term is also used for the males and I might look a bit weird but I am a witch and quite proud of it. Panthera is silently applauding Vladimir's performance then says goodbye since Vladimir really needs to get back to his job.

Hinoke: is it okay if I call you Hinoke chan because I can't help but think about you that way as a friend. liked the poem the last sentence sounded a bit Shakespeare and here was the fluff Kagome and Sesshô maru sleeping safely in each others arms just picture them like that together with the candle light illumination it really is an adoring picture isn't it. Anyway I hope you liked it.
