Chapter 5: Intentions

Kagome went back to the camp walking in a daze of her second encounter with Sesshomaru. 'OH KAMI!!! That was my first kiss!!! How can I face Inuyasha after this???" she thought frantically.

*Admit it... you liked it... and he did too*

'Shut up!!! He's the cold-hearted Taiyoukai of the West!!!'

*Well... that didn't stop him from saying that he's yours... You could use that to your advantage*

'NO way!!! Besides... It will be all over in a month so there's no chance in hell for us to be ahem... together'

*Whatever you say... Just wait and see for your next meeting with him... * Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a loud yell could be heard from the other side.

"KKKKKKKKKKaaaaaagggooooommeeee!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I'm coming Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled back as she straightened her uniform and ran through the forest, when she came to the camp, she saw the entire shard hunting group ready to leave.

"Finally you arrived!!! Where were you?" Inuyasha demanded as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Nothing... I went out for a walk and I lost track of the time" Kagome lied.

"It is not like you to leave without notice... Besides I could have gone with you" Sango replied.

"Or me..." Miroku snickered before being hit with a boomerang on the back of his neck knocking him out.

"We have to leave... We need to find the rest of the shards and fight Naraku" Inuyasha ordered.

Inuyasha was about to turn before he rose his head in confusion. He sniffed along the way to Kagome. His eyes held anger in them.

"Why do you smell like Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha yelled.

"I don't know... maybe it's because we fought the other day and he fell ON me you baka!!!" Kagome said sarcastically at the hannyou.

"You were with Sesshomaru again weren't you?" Inuyasha questioned, "I never thought of you doing things like that..."

"Inuyasha..." Kagome said innocently, "SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!!!!!!!!"

It was a cloud of smoke and dirt before Inuyasha could be seen buried about 20 feet into the ground.

Sesshomaru's POV

Sesshomaru was flying across the area to his castle as he maintained a stern, serious face to the west. His hair flapped at the wind with its rich gray color. His amber eyes glistened in confusion and frustration.

'What was THIS SESSHOMARU thinking when I kissed the wench? It is against my ideals! A youkai and a human... disgusting'

*Then why did you admit that you were hers?*

'It was my demon instincts... who ordered her to bite me?'

*Apparently you did, as you didn't defend yourself as you always do... and now she owns you... and you like it*

'I do not!!'

*Pathetic! The Lord Taiyoukai of the West... denying that he is obsessed with a human...*

'Quiet or This Sesshomaru will-'

*You of all people should know... that no one can kill his own youkai self... Claim her... make her yours*

The voice finally faded into the abyss of his mind. Sesshomaru shook the thoughts that invaded his head as he saw the pinnacle of his white castle.

'Yes... I am home... but why do I feel that I have just left it in that meadow?' Sesshomaru thought as he saw the sun that rose in the sky. But his moment was suddenly interrupted by an annoying voice that made his ear throb in pain.

"Lord Sesshomaru!!!!" Jaken said exuberantly at his lord.

"Jaken... where is Rin?" Sesshomaru inquired as he rubbed his finger to his ear.

"She is inside... but she is being restless my Lord, perhaps a walk or something of the sort will come into order" Jaken opted.

"Inuyasha is close to coming to the borders of my land... I have to keep an eye on him" Sesshomaru said to himself.

"Prepare Ah-Un and Rin... we are going off to patrol the lands" Sesshomaru ordered as he entered his castle to change his clothes and rub off the scent of the woman-miko he has begun to grow an infatuation.

Kagome's POV

The group was walking through the forest. Sango was constantly bothered by Miroku's antics and her hits with her boomerang bone could be heard for miles. Kirara played along with Shippo as Inuyasha led the group, constantly bickering of how slow they were moving.

"We are close to Sesshomaru's lands," Inuyasha said aloud, "Kagome... don't run off like you are doing lately unless you are with someone"

"You are not the boss of me, Inuyasha! And what is up with you? You're suddenly all protective and jea-" Kagome stopped short as she realized that maybe Inuyasha held some feelings for her.

"What are you STARING at?" Inuyasha said as he grew impatient.

"Nothing, Inuyasha... you really care about what may happen to me?" Kagome said.

"Whatever... I just don't want you being close to our enemy... MY enemy" Inuyasha replied.

"He is not that bad... he just has some problems with expressing emotions..." Kagome said

"Don't you dare defend that jackass! He did tried to kill all of us more than once..." Inuyasha yelled angrily.

"I don't know... lately he has been sparing you... yet you can't bear to stand to look at him and not start a fight!! How can any of you get along if every time you meet you clash with swords?" Kagome explained.

"You better stop Kagome... or I'll-" Inuyasha warned.

"Or you'll what? SIT!!" Kagome yelled and Inuyasha's form fell to the ground again.

"Kagome, if you continue doing that, Inuyasha will be close to the center of the Earth" Miroku said kiddingly.

Meanwhile, on top of a tree nearby, Sesshomaru looked amused to the display in front of him. The miko was actually defending him and 'sat' Inuyasha to the ground. He continued to think that maybe this 'curse' wasn't so bad after all. His blood churned for blood the moment Inuyasha threatened the miko even though he didn't understand it. This protective aura upon me, this need to protect... is somehow taking over me... What is happening to me...

He was very into this thoughts that he missed the gust of wind going past him to the group.

"Koga! What the hell are you doing here!!!" Inuyasha yelled as he climbed out of the hole he made from his fall.

"Nothin' just to look at my Kagome!" Koga sneered in pride.

Koga took Kagome's hands in his and drew her into his arms.

"Koga... please I don't think you want to have me... I simply am not interested in you..." Kagome tried to explain.

"Let her go you bastard" Inuyasha warned as he prepared Tetsusaiga.

"Kagome, you ARE going to be my mate..." Koga said sternly completely ignoring the hannyou's warning.

"Koga let go!" Kagome said as she felt his sudden heat from him rather uncomfortable, not at all like Sesshomaru's. 'Wait... did I like being with Sesshomaru?'

"Did you not hear her, wolf-demon? Or are your ears as weak and stubborn as my younger brother?" Sesshomaru said non-chalantly as he glided from the tree to the ground. His eyes were crimson and hungry with jealousy, obsession and lust.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled as Sesshomaru neared them, "Now what do you want?"

"To claim what is mine" Sesshomaru said stoically before taking Kagome over his shoulder and taking off.

"Hey! Let me go you baka!" Kagome's voice could be heard as they flew off the distance.

"Damn Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha sweared under his breath.

"Are we going after them?" Miroku asked the hannyou and wolf-demon.

"I..." Inuyasha stood dumbfounded as he looked at the sky and saw one of Kikyo's soul-gatherers guiding him to their next meeting spot, "Later." He said as he ran off following the soul-gatherer.

"He is meeting with Kikyo so we might as well set up camp around here," Miroku sighed.

"That baka... if he doesn't make up his mind, Kagome's love will dissipate. I honestly don't blame her" Sango said in frustration.

"If you guys don't do anything to save MY mate-to-be then I am going" Koga yelled in promise as he ran of after the captor.

*********Meanwhile********************
"Sesshomaru you better let me go right now... or..." Kagome warned as she struggled against him as the flew towards his castle.

Sesshomaru grew exasperated from her antics and dropped next to a meadow. He dropped her to the ground and she quickly got up and dusted herself off.

"Damn... another school uniform ruined" she muttered to herself.

"What are you murmuring about?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Listen you... You can't just barge and take me out as you please... and what's with the crimson eyes... we were on an accord that you wouldn't come in a month and still... you're here the day after..." Kagome stopped as she looked into his golden eyes, filled with anger.

Sesshomaru grew mad from her scolding as he walked to her in a menacing way. Kagome fell back and was met by the bark of a tree-trunk. She was trapped. Sesshomaru rose his arms and blocked any means of escape by placing them on either side of her shoulders. He smelled her intoxicating scent of sakura-blossoms and looked at her face.
"How can you... quench this Sesshomaru's anger by your mere smell?" Sesshomaru said as he looked at her flushed face and ebony tresses that matched her sapphire eyes.

"How the hell should I know... You're the one who knows about this so- called ritual!" Kagome countered him trying to get out of their current position, "You say that you don't want anything with me... yet you arrived in jealousy by the mere touch of another man..."

"He was trying to take you... and also... This Sesshomaru cannot control what this 'mark' inquires him to do" Sesshomaru rebutted signaling her mating mark.

"So... what now?" Kagome asked.

"A choice... Either if you so desire to continue on your silly quest with the half-breed then allow me, Jaken and Rin to accompany you.." Sesshomaru offered as he took her again over his shoulder heading back to the group.

"Don't I have a say in this decision?" Kagome said.

"No" Sesshomaru replied simply as they continued their trek back.

A/N: I think I will stop here and let you guys offer more advice on the story... I am beginning to have writer's block since I want to extend the story a little bit without losing the essence of the story *sigh* I guess I have to think it over... Please review!
