Miroku smirked as he watched Kagome take the lead. 'Sesshomaru, she is as good as yours.'

Now

Chapter Nine

Kagome felt exhausted. She hadn't walked this long in... ever! But the monk wasn't stopping, so she didn't want to look weak. She swallowed her pain and trudged on.

Miroku felt her energy slowly deteriorating. He knew that he couldn't have her get sick. And he also knew that she wasn't going to stop walking as long as he walked on. So...

Miroku 'tripped' on a root. "OW! I hurt my ankle!" He said as he grabbed his ankle in 'pain.'

"Oh! Monk! Are you all right?" Kagome asked with sincere concern as she grabbed his ankle for a quick inspection. As soon as she grabbed the ankle, she knew that it was just fine.

Miroku tried to pull his ankle away, but he wasn't fast enough. "I will be all right Lady Kagoru, please don't fret."

Kagome knew that he was trying to stop. However, she thought that he was trying to stop because he was tired. Kagome knelt down before him. 'Might as well ruin his testosterone while I have the opportunity.'

"Get on my back, Miroku." Kagome said as she put her back next to him. Now, if you know Miroku, he couldn't resist an opportunity like this for a good grope. So...

Rubby Rub Rub Kagome face faulted. SMACK POUND PUMMEL WITH VARIOUS SHARP OBJECT FROM MAGICAL BACKPACK. "PERVERT!" CONTINUES TO PUMMEL AFTER REALIZING THAT BACKPACK IS A BETTER WEAPON THAN A SWORD "DON'T SMASH EVER CRACK DO THUMP THAT CRASH AGAIN!!!" POUND POUND POUND stops after realizing that Miroku is unconscious, and perhaps dead.

Kagome smiled. 'Hmm, not even a day and I escaped him.' Kagome thought as she walked off away from the scene of the crime.

Sesshomaru paced his library 'slightly' angry. He didn't even want to have that girl come to his castle, and now she was not showing up. It really irked him. It irked him to no end.

"Why the hell isn't she here yet!" Sesshomaru screamed as he slammed his fist down on to the table.

Sesshomaru smelt Jaken outside of his door, so he quickly composed himself. He wasn't really sure why, but he had hated Jaken a lot more than usual ever since the day that he had received news that he was going to have Kagome of the Eastern Lands train at his castle. He couldn't understand why, though. He also didn't fully understand why kagome was going to train there either. He just figured that it was the eastern lands way of trying to shove Kagome under him just in time for mating season.

"Come in..." Sesshomaru said as he rubbed his temple. 'Maybe I can let some of this anger out on Jaken. '

Jaken of course realized that this was coming, so he planned on making this quick. "Lord Sesshomaru, the Lady Kagome has ran away from her castle. That is why she is not present, er... presently." Jaken said with a bow.

Sesshomaru was slightly grateful for this information, mainly because now the spoiled little pretty princess would probably be kidnapped, rapped, and murdered. All the while he would be completely free from her! He was in a slightly better mood.

"Well, where was she last seen?" Sesshomaru asked, mostly for politeness. He didn't really give a damn.

"With...er... the monk." Jaken said, realizing that he had now caught the lord's attention. Maybe he could even sneak in a few good words about Kagome.

"The... Monk? Miroku? Miroku the pervert monk?" Sesshomaru said with a slight tone of amusement in his voice. "How, quaint."

Jaken knew that he had to work quickly. "She ran away from him too. After..."

Sesshomaru smiled lightly. "After what?"

Jaken looked at him mischievously. "After putting him in a coma."

Sesshomaru looked a little impressed. "Well, what a wonderfully amusing story. So when will she be arriving?" 'I would like to have a closer look at this Kagome.'

Jaken wasn't expecting that. "Um... we don't even know where she is at."

Sesshomaru's smile grew bigger. "I am going for a walk out in the garden. Please, find that out. She sounds... interesting."

Jaken didn't like the way that that had went. He gulped loudly as he wondered whether or not Kagome should come there. He feared for her safety.

Kagome walked on through the next day. At last she smelt the salt water. Her face lite up brightly.

She walked over a final ridge and looked at the wide blue sea. "The Ocean!" Kagome screamed as she ran out on to the waves. She raced through the water and splashed and splashed, not caring that she was soaking her silk kimono through. She didn't care that it was freezing. All she knew was that she was finally in a place she could call home.

And after her kimono was dripping and her nose was running and she was shaking from exhaustion, she finally lay down in the sand, feeling completely whole.

"Home..." she whispered.

Doom's section

Okay, I could stop there, but what fun would that be? Okay, on with the fic.

PMOD

Sesshomaru walked outside of his garden and on to his beach. He was about to sit down on a small landing when he noticed the small footprints of a girl. He sniffed the air in a very 'dog-like' fashion. 'She smells... familiar.'

Sesshomaru snaked his way through the sand, walking quietly until he heard humming. He looked out to the ocean and saw a young black-haired girl that smelt like heaven reaching in to the water, obviously trying to catch some fish. He heard her humming the spell of attraction, and despite the fact that he was about 20 yards away from her, he could feel her spell dragging him in. He felt so... warm. Safe. And happy. He wanted to be with her, right then. 'Hmm. She smells so good.'

In only a matter of seconds, Sesshomaru was touching the water's edge, nearly a foot away from her. As soon as he stepped in to the water, he felt her tenson and drop her spell. She continued to hum, but she was just doing it so that she wouldn't seem like she knew that he was there. But he knew she knew.

Sesshomaru didn't move. He knew that he was caught, but he didn't know why he didn't just demand this strange girl to just leave his beach and go back to where she came from. Yes, that's what he should do. But... why couldn't he bring himself to say anything.

The girl just stood there for a few more seconds before she took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Who the hell are you?"

Sesshomaru didn't know what to say. He was stunned on the spot.

"Get the hell away from me." Kagome said as she slowly turned around. Immedately she wished that she had thought a little bit harder about a disguise. Or about smelling to see who was behind her. She saw the crescent moon on his forehead and knew immedately who he was. And she still had her star on her forehead. And Sesshomaru didn't miss that.

Sesshomaru smiled a soft half smile. "Hello, Kagome."

Doom's little box square-like thing:

That's it for chapter nine! No more! Vamoose! So, R&R!
