Sesshoumaru watched an older Rin weave together necklaces of flowers, her fingers a great deal more nimble than when she was younger.
At fourteen, she was a much calmer girl, and easier to deal with. She had less endless energy.
The woman sitting next to Sesshoumaru in the grass smiled as she followed his gaze. Sesshoumaru looked at her instead. Her black hair shined in the sunlight, this beautiful woman beside him. "It's so beautiful here," she said, "It's nothing like Tokyo."
Sesshoumaru knew all about Tokyo, for she had told him many stories. "How could you live in such a horrid place?" Sesshoumaru asked for what seemed like the hundreth time.
Kagome snuggled into Sessoumaru's shoulder. "I've told you before, it has it's good points. Modern toilets being one of them. You've seen my home before."
Sesshoumaru brought his face inches from hers. "I thought you said here was your home."
Kagome sighed happily. "Wherever you are is home."
Sesshoumaru bolted upright. Another dream. This one was less racier than some of the others, but still just as revolting. Inuyasha's wench was in all of them, but she never really mentioned Inuyasha. In fact, in most of the dreams, she didn't speak much at all. In several of the dreams she was much more intimate in speaking to him than any human had the right to.
He glanced over at the girl who had fallen asleep against him, but sometime throughout the warm night she had moved away to keep cool.
They had slept long enough, dawn was already here. Sesshoumaru called her name, but Rin only stirred and mumbled, she did not wake. Sesshoumaru sighed and picked her up. She was light enough to carry for a short while.
"Come, Jaken. We're leaving." He nudged the servant awake with his foot and started to leave, unable to really believe he agreed to this trip. But Rin could be so adorable, and he would like to know why that witch was sending him dreams.
Kagome left her clothes by a tree and stepped into the cool watter. The summertime heat made the water feel pleasant against her sweat-sticky skin. Strong arms wrapped around her from behind. "You take so many baths."
"It's hot today. The water feels nice."
The man behind her nuzzled her neck, his long white hair wrapped around her shoulder.
"I wasn't complaining. You smell good." The man practically purred as one clawed hand slid up her stomach, while the other slid down it, under the water. Sesshoumaru kissed her earlobe and whispered, "You smell very good."
Kagome mumbled her dissapointment as the dream faded into wakefulness. She had been having these, well, nightmares for several weeks now. Inuyasha had been looking at her strangely the entire time as well.
He was looking at her again right now, as a matter of fact. "What is it?" she asked, irritated by the constant staring.
Inuyasha blushed. "Nothing." he said, and looked away.
"Annoying. Staring at people is rude and annoying, Inuyasha."
"So?"
"I give up. I'm going to take a bath before we leave. Don't look." She glanced over at the others, who were in various stages of waking. "You don't look either!" She said to Miroku and Shippo, who exchanged puzzled looks, neither being awake enough to understand what she was talking about.
Kagome grabbed her bag and went off to the water. As she stepped into the water, clothes folded neatly by the riverside, she blushed recalling the night-, no the dream.
That was no nightmare. The Sesshoumaru in the dream hadn't been the self-righteous snob that he had seemed to be since she met him.
Then again, she never expected he would be taking care of a small human girl, but he clearly was. And he clearly cared about her.
The dream Sesshoumaru had been passionate and strong, yet less ready to prove his superiority over humans and hanyou. He had been content to be perfectly close to her.
She scrubbed her back while she wondered why the dream Sesshoumaru was so much more desirable, and why she was not dreaming about Inuyasha. After all, she loved him right?
Maybe. She wasn't so sure. It's impossible to keep loving someone who clearly loves someone else, and sees them in you. She didn't want to be Kikyo for him. She was Kagome. Reincarnation or not, she was still a seperate person.
Did that mean she wanted to be with Sesshoumaru? Hell no! That creature wasn't the thing she was dreaming of. It just looked like him.
It was like this that a now awake Rin found Kagome. "Big sister Kagome!!!" Rin yelled from the water's edge.
Kagome froze, and turned around slowly. If Rin was here...
Sesshoumaru stood a few feet behind Rin, and he watched with his usual icy gaze.
"PERVERT!" Kagome screamed and hid under the water. "down..Down...DOWN!!!" While Sesshoumaru pulled his face out of the grass Kagome ran for her clothes. "Spying on girls is...OOH! DOWN!"
Rin looked puzzled, but leaned over Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru-sama is okay right?"
Kagome straightened her shirt, and glared at the offending white haired youkai.
Sesshoumaru glared back, and Rin clung to the side of his kimono.
"Don't you have any sense of decency?" Kagome asked. "As if a human girl had anything to interest me." Sesshoumaru frowned down at Rin. "We're here. Hang on her."
Rin practically bounced to Kagome. "Sesshoumaru-sama said we could visit!! Can we play a game?"
Kagome smiled. "What game would you like to play?"
Rin touched Kagome's arm. "Can't catch me!" She ran off.
"Rin! Don't go too far!" Sesshoumaru said, then, at Kagome's gaze, held his head a little higher in the air with his mask of indifference completely in place. "You really care about her." Kagome said. "I will not even dignify such silliness with an answer." Sesshoumaru said.
Kagome grabbed her bag and ran after Rin, and stopped for a second to turn back to Sesshoumaru. "Aren't you coming?"
"I suppose." Sesshoumaru looked extremely bored.
When Kagome caught up to Rin. she was talking with Shippo, having completely lost interest in tag. She had found a new friend. Shippo was making illusions excitedly. Bouncing from one form to another. Rin applauded.
Kagome stepped backwards a bit, and was surprised to hit solidness. There wasn't a tree there. She turned around. Sesshoumaru looked at her like she was something he scraped off of his shoe. "I will talk with you now."
"Talk?" Kagome was puzzled. What could he possibly want with her. "Look I'm not getting the Tetsusaiga for you. You can just give that up!" "Why are you sending me dreams?"
Kagome stared. "Sending you ...what? I don't know how to do that...and i'd never want anything to do with you!"
Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm. "You must be lying. You have to be the one doing this, you're the miko witch that supposedly hurt Naraku, dreams would be easy."
Kagome tried to shake off his hand. "I. Said. I. Don't. Know. How! Let me go or I'll say it!"
"I dare you, human."
"Down." She actually did it... Sesshoumaru stood back up. "A mere shove to the ground doesn't harm I, Sesshoumaru. You should know this." "Well I make it a point not to know about you." Kagome said. "You're a heartless cold demon, who's so insecure of himself he has to pick on his little brother! Really, just because your father liked Inuyasha best is no reason to hate him! I hate y-" Kagome stopped talking as the hand collided with her face.
Sesshoumaru didn't hit the girl hard, just enough to get her to stop yelling, yet she stared stunned. She was standing so close to him too, and smelled just like she did in the dreams.
Kagome rubbed the side of her face. Stupid youkai..he didn't have to hit me...
Sesshoumaru examined her face. She wasn't that repulsive, for a human. I wonder... He kissed her, tasting her mouth. She even tasted right.
Kagome pushed him away. "Just who do you think you are?!"
"It was an experiment, nothing more." Sesshoumaru turned away. "Come, Rin, it's time to go. Kagome doesn't want me to fight with the stupid hanyou."
Inuyasha watched the girl playing with Shippo from his perch in the tree. She was bright and happy, and Shippo probably needed a playmate, being around adults all the time. When Kagome got to the clearing, he smiled. She probably found the girl by the river and sent her back to them. He got ready to jump down, but Kagome turned around and into the last person Inuyasha expected to see.
You couldn't help but hear their arguement. Kagome had told Inuyasha about the beads on Sesshoumaru, so he wasn't particularly worried he would hurt her. They had no idea what would happen if they killed the caster after all.
He prepared to jump down when Sesshoumaru had slapped her, but just as quickly he kissed her, and Inuyasha froze.
Sesshoumaru...
.....kissing.....
HIS Kagome?!
He jumped down and ran to them, claws ready for his half brother's throat.
Sesshoumaru dodged easily, acting like he knew Inuyasha was there the whole time and he had nothing better to do than ignore him.
Kagome stepped backward, away from the extremely angry Inuyasha and his prey.
"Don't you ever touch her again!" Inuyasha screamed, tried to attack again, and once again... missed.
"Inuyasha! Stop!" Kagome yelled. Rin was staring at Inuyasha in horror, her new playmate forgotten.
Inuyasha turned back to look at Kagome. "What? Crazy woman!" He tried to attack again.
"Sit!"
Kagome stepped over Inuyasha and went to comfort Rin. "It'll be okay. Boys, especially brothers, always fight, you know?" She hugged the girl, who calmed down a little at this, and Sesshoumaru lifted her into his arm and walked away, his back to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha sat up and started tapping Kagome on the head. "What are you doing?"
"Maybe you hit your head?"
Kagome sitted him again. "You're the crazy one Inuyasha, you must have been dreaming if you saw me hit my head."
