Eden-

Okay, chapter six now. ON WITH THE FIC!!!

Previously

Kagome blushed but shook the feeling in her stomach away. "So, what time do we

have to be to this warehouse of yours?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru grinned as he saw a limo pull up at an alarmingly fast rate. "Now."

Now

Chapter Six

Kagome sat on a box correcting her students work. She flicked up her wrist and

looked at her watch. She frowned. It was a quarter till midnight!

Kagome sighed and put away her papers. She looked in to the office where Sesshomaru was at and smiled. He was probably in there having as bad (if not worse) a time as she was.

Kagome stood to stretch her legs. She reached up and breathed in deeply. She heard her back crack and laughed. A bunch of guys who had been staring at her looked confused at her laughter. She smiled.

"I guess that I am not as young as I used to be!" she said with a smile.

All of the boys sighed and looked back at the door that they were staring so intently at- the door to the office Sesshomaru was in. Kagome walked over to one of the boys with red hair and sat down.

"Why are we all waiting here like this?" Kagome whispered to the man in a few seconds. He looked back at her and smiled.

"Sesshomaru is talking to some guy who works for Naraku's gang."

Kagome gasped. "Naraku?!?"

The guy nodded. "Yeah, that guy who got you and Sesshomaru. He has his own gang now, and they are new to this town. Luckily, one of the guys who works for him was easily convinced by Benjamin Franklin to join our side." The guy said.

Kagome nodded. "Oh! And by the way, I am Kagome!" She said to the boy.

The boy nodded and smiled. "I know, you taught me about two years ago! My name is Guy, remember?"

Kagome smiled and nodded. "I thought that I reconized you! Hello Guy! Why did you get mixed up in this kind of crowd?"

Guy frowned. "Revenge."

Kagome nodded. Then she reached out and touched his arm. A soft blue light fell through her and in to his body. He loosened up.

"That's not a good reason to get yourself killed. I know more about revenge than you will ever know. I have been there before." Kagome looked in to the office. "I have fought his kind before."

Guy looked at Kagome and smiled. "You're the witch, aren't you?"

Kagome looked back at guy and nodded.

"You are the one that Naraku is looking for." Guy said with a frown.

Kagome nodded. Then, she remembered something that Naraku had said to Sesshomaru. "Do you know anything about a promise made by Lord Sesshomaru to his brother?"

Guy looked confused. "Lord? And Sesshomaru doesn't have a brother."

Kagome frowned. "Then you really don't know, do you?"

Guy looked at her questioningly. "How long have you known Sesshomaru?"

Kagome smiled. "Forever."

Sesshomaru watched Kagome move from his office. The entire time that he had been sitting there with Oniyushi, his spy on Naraku, he had been looking at her intently.

"Sesshomaru, Naraku only wishes for the girl. Why won't you just let him have her?" Oniyushi asked Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru took his eyes off of Kagome for the first time. "Don't ever question me."

Sesshomaru's eyes turned red. Just then Jaken ribbited.

"Jaken! Did you find out how she did it?" Sesshomaru asked as he picked up the tiny toad.

Jaken nodded. "R-i-i-i-b-b-b-i-i-i-t-t-t."

Sesshomaru sighed. "I really miss your voice." Sesshomaru pulled out a laptop and placed Jaken next to it. Jaken then hopped from letter to letter on the giant keypad that was specially made for him.

After he was finished, Sesshomaru read over it. It read:

Mistress Kagome has been living on a holy shrine since her birth. It is there that the sacred god tree still grows. And, she traveled to the past using an old well. The bone-eaters well. She came back to this time and has been living here ever since she saved the scared jewel of the four souls.

Sesshomaru nodded. "That would explain why she was never seen again... "

Oniyushi sighed. "What's going on? Who is Kagome? That whore that you brought..."

Sesshomaru barked loudly and let his eyes go red. "Do...not...ever...call... Kagome a whore..." Sesshomaru growled out at Oniyushi.

Oniyushi lifted his hands in defense. "I didn't mean to insult your new girl..."

Sesshomaru growled at him louder. "She is not my girl."

Oniyushi looked confused. "So, she's not your whore and she's not your girlfriend. Friend?"

Sesshomaru looked out at Kagome. "No, not a friend."

Oniyushi looked out the window at the girl who had just made everyone laugh. He looked confused. Family member?"

"No."

"Then, what?" Oniyushi asked, his attention on the girl.

Sesshomaru smiled. "I'm not sure."

Oniyushi looked at Sesshomaru and then jumped back. "GAHH!! YOU SMILED!!!" Oniyushi screamed.

Sesshomaru glared at him. "I did no such thing."

Oniyushi sighed. "That's the Sesshomaru I know. But seriously dude. What is that girl? Why are you two on such familiar terms if she isn't your woman?"

Sesshomaru sighed. "I have just known her for a long time."

"Then why haven't I ever met her?"

Sesshomaru glared at Oniyushi. "Because I have known her longer than you."

Oniyushi looked confused. "But I have known you since... whoa, how long have I known you? Three hundered years?"

Sesshomaru nodded. "It has been about that long."

"But... she's human! There is no way that you could have known her longer than me!" Oniyushi screamed. "How do you know her?"

Sesshomaru didn't take his gaze off of Kagome for a second. "I have known her

for over five hundered years. She is the protector of the shikon no tama."

Oniyushi gasped. "The jewel of four souls? I thought that the jewel was a legend." Oniyushi looked out at the girl who was now talking to Guy, one of the newest members of the team. And one of the few human members. He saw Guy smile and look at Kagome with loving eyes. He could understand why. Even from here, Oniyushi could tell that she was something special. If Sesshomaru didn't claim her, he just might.

"I thought that the miko was just a legend..." Oniyushi said as he gripped a fist at his waist. 'Sesshomaru is so lucky! He doesn't deserve all of this!'

Sesshomaru saw him grip a fist. "What's wrong, Oniyushi?"

Oniyushi loosened up. He smiled at Sesshomaru. "Nothings wrong."

Sesshomaru felt something was wrong. He looked at the clock. "Hmm... midnight already?" Sesshomaru decided they had been there for a long enough time. "Oniyushi, I am going to be staying with the miko for a while."

Oniyushi nodded. "It's probably better, with Naraku on yours and her trail. The closer you guys are, the better you can defend eachother."

Sesshomaru growled. "I don't need to be defended." Sesshomaru growled out as he slammed the door behind him, startling Kagome, who immediately stood at attention and stopped talking to Guy.

Sesshomaru looked at her confusedly. 'Why would she suddenly act like this?' Kagome blushed as she noticed that sh ewas treating him like he was her master or something. Suddenly she growled and glared at him.

"What took you so god damned long?!?" Kagome demanded as she threw her bag over her shoulder.

Sesshomaru growled. "Bitch."

Kagome growled back. "SIT BOY!!!"

Sesshomaru dropped to the floor. "Bitch."

Kagome smiled. "Don't be so mean to me and I won't have to do that."

Sesshomaru mumbled something or another about controlling women and Kagome lifted his head up.

"Just learn to smile every once in a while." Kagome said as she got up to leave. Sesshomaru pried himself off of the ground.

He growled lightly. Guy walked up to Sesshomaru and tapped him on the shoulder. "Sesshomaru, I don't know you as well as I know Kagome. I just get commands from you. I didn't even know that you had a brother. But Kagome is sweet. Please don't make her cry. She is the sweetest thing in the world. Don't make her cry."

Sesshomaru growled. "Don't try to tell me what to do!" He told Guy.

Guy smiled. "I wasn't. I was just giving advice from one guy to another. Use it well."

Sesshomaru opened his mouth to say some rude remark, but was stopped when he felt Kagome pulling on the barrier.

"Hurry up!" Kagome screamed out as she tried to walk some more.

Sesshomaru growled. "I'll be back to finish this talk tomorrow night."

Guy smiled. "Just don't make her cry till then."

Sesshomaru shrugged. "Whatever." then he trudged off towards Kagome, who smiled when she saw him coming.

"Hi! Did you have a... um... good time at work today?" Kagome asked with a smile. Sesshomaru looked at her confused.

"Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?" Sesshomaru asked queitly.

Kagome smiled. "You need someone to be nice to you. You have never had anyone beside Rin and your mother. You need more kindness in your life!"

Sesshomaru looked over at Kagome's smile and felt something inside him stir. He felt- almost secure. He forced a smile back. Kagome giggled and hugged his arm. Then she ran ahead of him, skipping as she went. As soon as she was out of sight, Sesshomaru smiled a real smile. The first one in many, many years.

Eden-
