Doom's corner:
Okay, this is chapter five. Yes, chapter five. I am not really sure what will happen this chapter, so I can't really give you any preview. I haven't really thought about it. But I think that Jaken (and that is actually how you spell it, I checked.) appear. I may also have a little glimpse at the eastern castle, including a look at Kaede and Souta (and that is how you spell that, too) Well, as always, (you are probably getting sick of this) ON WITH THE FIC!!!
Love Always,
Pirate Maiden of Doom
Chapter Five
Previously
"Kagome..." He whispered as he felt her fall asleep in his arms. As soon as she was asleep, he picked her up and started to carry her back to his castle. "I love you."
Now
Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She felt arms wrapped around her. She sighed as she slipped farther in to the embrace. 'Mmm.... This feels... nice.' Kagome thought as she wrapped her arms around the arms that held her. Then it hit her. 'Arms are attached to a person. The person is holding me. I am being held by a person.' Kagome looked down. 'A boy probably. Wait a minute!' (A/N: Yeah, Kagome is just that slow)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome's scream could be heard for miles. And, of course, with Sesshomaru having very sensitive hearing, yeah. Put two and two together.
"What's wrong? Is he back?! That bastard!!!" Sesshomaru screamed as he jumped out of the bed.
Now Kagome had taken this time to jump out of bed and move in to the corner of the room that had the most stuff. "YOU STUPID INSOLENT BASTARD!!!!" Kagome screamed as she preceded to throw random objects (mostly glass) at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru ducked behind the bed. "HEY! IT'S ME! THE GUY WHO SAVED YOU!! SESSHOMARU!!!" He screamed as he covered his head to keep from being hit by the assortment of flying breakable items.
"Sesshomaru? What were you doing holding me?" Kagome asked as she lowered her weapons. (A/N: OH DEAR GOD SHE IS DENSE!!!)
Sesshomaru, being the experienced lord that he was, had already came up with an excuse in case this happened. "You had a cold. I figured that it would be better if you shared body heat with me."
Now Kagome, being the experienced healer she was, knew that this wasn't true. She could tell by two reasons. One, she hadn't been sick in almost fifteen years. Second, she could read auras. And his aura said that he was lying. But, being grateful that he had saved her life, she let it slide. "Oh, my forgiveness, my lord Sesshomaru-sama." Kagome said as she lowered her head so that she was bowed to the waist.
This is the inner Sesshomaru 'Yeah! She called you her lord! I bet you she would call you that if you were to...'
Sesshomaru shook his head quickly to keep away the 'slightly' perverted thought that had just entered his head.
Inner Sesshomaru again 'Or if you were to...'
"Okay! That's all right, Lady Kagome. I would have probably done the same thing if I was in, um, your position. Just please, refrain from throwing too many items in this castle. Some of the things in here are rare and..."
"Oh! Did I break anything valuable? I promise that I will pay it off." Kagome bowed again.
"It's all right. You didn't break anything important. It was an understandable mistake. Just don't let it happen again." Sesshomaru didn't mention that the vase she had thrown was worth more money than most people make in a year. (PS That's a lot of money.)
"Yes, my Lord." Kagome said, bowing again.
Yes, it's that voice in his head again. Don't you love it? 'Yeah, she'll bow down to you after you're done...'
"Er... Lady Kagome, there is no need for you to bow down to anyone in this kingdom, including me. Please, refrain from that also." Sesshomaru said.
"Yes, my lord." She said, not bowing but still lowering her head.
Okay, from now on, I will just say that the voice in Sesshomaru's head talks in these - - okay? -Yeah, you know that she will still be bowing when you...-
Sesshomaru snapped his head up and mentally lectured himself for such impure thoughts. Kagome looked at him confused.
"Is there anything wrong, my lord?" Kagome questioned.
Sesshomaru put on the best fake smile he could muster. It looked pretty bad. "I am fine. Let us go down to breakfast. I will have Jaken show you to your corridors after that."
"Yes, my lord." Kgaome said as she followed him in silence, wondering what he was really thinking.
Okay, this is the thing for Kagome's inner voice He was thinking about you! You, you, you!!! Kagome shook the thought away. She wasn't even sure what had brought it on. 'Silly me.' She thought to herself. 'Mother would be appalled.'
Now this was ironic because she had just broken every major rule her mother had set out for her. Actually, the only major rule her mother had set out for her. Never leave the castle grounds alone.
Sesshomaru felt her thoughts on him, but he didn't say anything. How could he? What would he say, "Hey, Kagome. I want to know what you are thinking about." Well, he could, but no self-respecting lord would address a woman that was not his mate so unformally. Or talk about such personal matters. So he let it be.
"This is the dining hall." Sesshomaru said as he parted two very large oak doors. Yeah, they were huge. Kagome looked on in shock. "This is where you and I will be eating. You will meet me here in the mornings at nine and again in the evening at seven. If you get hungry any time other than that, seek out a servant and they will prepare you any food you request."
"Thank you, my lord. This is greatly appreciated, but, I can cook for myself. Just show me the way to the kitchen and..." Kagome was cut off short by a 'slightly' angry Sesshomaru.
"YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING WHILE YOU ARE A GUEST IN THIS SESSHOMARU'S HOME! Did they have you cook at your castle as well?" Sesshomaru said in a slightly calmer voice when the look on her face showed him that she got the point.
"Umm, well, you see... When father leaves, he takes almost the whole castle with him. He only leaves me guardian, she is my best friend." Kagome said as she sat down in he chair that Sesshomaru had pulled out for her.
"Mistress Sango?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome looked shocked. "Why, yes. How did you know?"
Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks. 'Why didn't I think of the answer to this one?' "Umm... well you see..."
"Lord Sesshomaru!" a high squeaky voice said suddenly.
'Phew, saved by the Jaken.' Sesshomaru thought as he planned on giving Jaken a bonus.
"Lord Sesshomaru! I heard that my Lady Kagome is here! Is she here?" Jaken asked as he looked around. Then he spotted her. "Ah! Lady Kagome! You're back! It's been ten years since I last saw you!" Jaken said as he bowed down to Kagome.
Sesshomaru's eyes twitched. 'Did I say bonus?!'
"I am sorry, but I can't say that I remember who you are." Kagome said apologetically as she lend down to get a better look at this toad-like creature. "Have we met?"
"Oh! My lady Kagome! How can you not remember this Jaken? I used to watch over you and Lord... umff!!" Jaken said as Sesshomaru quickly covered his mouth.
"When who and I played together?" Kagome asked as more to Sesshomaru than to Jaken.
"Lord Sesshomaru? Why would you stop me from reminiscing about yours and my Lady Kagome's childhood together?" Jaken asked questioningly as he looked between Kagome and Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru looked like he was ready to run. Kagome looked like she was ready to run after him. Jaken looked confused. And then he remembered the spell that was put on Kagome. "Oh my!" He screamed.
As if matters couldn't get any worse, Kaede and Sango pushed their way through the large oak doors at that exact moment.
"SESSHOMARU!!!" Kaede screamed.
-Yep, you're busted now!- the inner Sesshomaru told him.
All Sesshomaru could do was stand there and hold Jaken's mouth shut. "He told her! Not me!"
Doom's corner:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Isn't that good stuff? I think that I am going to write another chapter. That was great! Now, remember, Kagome still doesn't remember her childhood. And Jaken... Well, let's just say he's not the sharpest tool in the fridge. Okay, Let's go on to the next chapter!
Love forever,
