Sesshomaru: You're talking too much again
Inuyasha: Yeah get with the story...
...okay... (sniffles) Well on with the story!!!
Chapter 6: Dealing with it
Before Sesshomaru could take another step, a gust of wind swirled around them. His silvery white hair rustled wildly as he looked at the demon who summoned it. Koga stopped abruptly in front of them as he smirked with pride.
"Hey! Let go of my woman, I don't care who you are or what if you're that mutt's brother but let me have her" Koga demanded.
'Whew! Thank goodness that Sesshomaru and I are bounded together, there's no way that he'd let me go...' Kagome thought in relief.
"This Sesshomaru has three things to say: Firstly that half-breed is my half-brother, secondly I am Lord Sesshomaru and this is my lands so do not order this Sesshomaru around and finally... I will grant your desire let go of this wench" he said plainly as he dropped Kagome to the ground. He smirked at the young woman in amusement as she slowly understood what he was intending to do.
"What the- Sesshomaru!!! What the hell are you doing?" Kagome yelled in confusion, "Aren't you supposed to be my bodyguard or something? Aren't you mine to command or-" Kagome stopped short as she got whirled around by no other than the wolf-demon.
"Kagome" Koga said as his blue eyes grew filled with excitement, "We can finally be mates! I will take you away from those mutts and live together"
Kagome was too shocked to reply. How can Sesshomaru let her go just like that as if she didn't matter... and after those dazes that he usually has of her memories, love and desires? She didn't know why but she was getting very angry and pissed about this situation.
"STOP!!!!" Kagome yelled, "Koga, please go away... I am simply NOT interested in you okay? And do not call me 'your woman'! I have not given that consent! So please can we just be friends?"
Koga looked saddened for a minute before he smiled at her. "I will wait for you Kagome! You may love that mutt but still I know that someday you will want me!" he said before taking off to his wolf-clan.
Kagome bent to her knees releasing a sigh of relief. 'Finally...' but her moment of peace was short after she caught a glance of a white hakama in front of her. She looked up at his unemotional face and glared daggers at him.
"You really are a jackass... Inuyasha is right..." Kagome murmured as she turned away from him. She couldn't bear to look at his face. Void of all emotion and cold as ice. It was beginning to bring her mad.
"If you value your life then do not call me that ever again miko and address me properly ningen" Sesshomaru warned.
Kagome turned to him and saw his eyes filled with rage and determination matching her rebellious glare.
"You cannot kill me... You Lord Sesshomaru are so cold!!! Why do you treat me like crap? And not just me but the entire human race!!! You delight yourself with killing sprees and treating others inferior to your own with disdain and contempt... Being with you is just UNBEARABLE!!!! This is a curse!!!" Kagome yelled.
"For once I agree with you... I too feel it is a curse... bearing your stench and yelling is more horrible than even hell" Sesshomaru said coolly.
"OH! Then you actually feel emotions Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked sarcastically.
"Hmph... The human finally sees with her eyes properly" Sesshomaru replied indifferently as he walked away.
"Don't walk away from me Sesshomaru!" Kagome ordered. Suddenly, she saw tears falling from her eyes. 'Why am I crying? Why do I feel so...inferior and battered with his remarks? I shouldn't even care what he thinks'
"Watch me..." Sesshomaru added as he continued walking away from her. Then, his mark began to burn with insupportable pain. He narrowed his focusing and trying to ignore it, just then, he smelled her tears. 'Why she is crying?' His mind urged him to turn and find out why but his proud side told him otherwise 'You would dare help a human... a miko no less?'
"Please..." Kagome whispered softly almost voiceless, "I don't want to handle this alone..."
Sesshomaru's golden eyes widened at her remark. He turned quickly at her to find her clutching her heart in sadness and despair. He walked a few steps towards her and bent to his knees.
'What is taking over this Sesshomaru? Why do I suddenly feel this desire to comfort her? Now I realize it is because I cannot deny her anything... Even if she is human or if she is Inuyasha's wench or even if my ice-cold heart is void of emotion... This mark that she has bestowed upon me, is changing my heart, slowly warming me inside... I am fighting in vain against it and I will surely lose if I continue on...'
Sesshomaru looked at her for the first time with guilt and a desire to end her sadness. 'I want to look at her' He rose her chin towards him and saw her tear-streaked face in the light. She started to feel nervous of their close contact and emotion that Sesshomaru didn't intend to mask. Their closeness brought a soothing feeling over his mark, like a balm, gently refreshing his soul and burning sensations caused by his unwillingness to submit. He slowly bent his head towards hers.
'Kami... Why is looking at me like that? I couldn't stop those words from being heard... I was suddenly alone without him... it felt even worse than Inuyasha betraying me with Kikyo. I didn't expect him to turn around, even less to look at me with unveiled emotion and desire to take my sadness away. Why is he being so nice after we just had a discussion? Wait...what is he intending to do? Why is his face suddenly nearing mine?' Kagome thought nervously.
Sesshomaru lowered his head next to her ear. "You are not fighting alone... remember that I carry the same burden as you... Even if we fight, or we share a lot of differences... we will get through this..." Sesshomaru whispered softly as he caressed her ebony hair soothingly and brushed his hand over her back lovingly.
"How can you be so sure?" Kagome asked fearfully, "And how can I trust you'll be arrogant and leave me again in a similar situation like Koga's"
"I am sure of this... I will not treat you as coldly as that hannyou or that wolf... For we share the same burden when we are alone... like this... But I will be void when we are in groups... this Sesshomaru promises you" Sesshomaru added in determination.
The sun began to disappear off the horizon nearing dusk.
"Come... Kagome... we head off to camp" Sesshomaru added. But this time he didn't slung her over his shoulder but led her with her following closely behind.
A/N: Whew! Another chapter good and done... At least the pairs are finally starting to get along... If only Kagome lets go of her platonic love for Inuyasha and Sesshomaru makes up his mind about whether he likes her or not-
Sesshomaru: I heard that... If you review a lot to her... then I'll probably get something on with that girl
Inuyasha: What!?! Who are you talking about?
Sesshomaru: (smirking) no one at all little half-brother...
(sigh) Well... See you soon!!! and I'll try to update soon!!!! Thanks again for all your reviews... They all helped me a lot!!! (
