Eden-
Okay, I decided that, no matter what any of you say, there will be a Naraku Kikyo scene. C'mon, they would make a good couple! They are both evil and conniving, but deep down Naraku loves Kikyo. If you don't like it... well, I don't think that anyone liked this story to begin with. What if I had made it a one shot? Then I would be getting flames up the yin-yang! So, just bare with me and read it! I promise that it will turn out okay. This story is turning out okay so far, right? Well, I value your opinions. However, I will have a small Naraku Kikyo scene, mostly so that I can get these two out of the way. IT WILL NOT BE THIS CHAPTER! IT WILL BE NEAR CHAPTER TWENTY! Anyway, just read and review! I love you all! Big kisses,
Earth Priestess Eden :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):P
Previously on look at my Reflection
Content with the knowledge that the two couldn't stand each other, Kaede went to bed, unaware of the fact that she should have kept a better eye on the two. Because a watched pot never boils. But how was she to know that they would boil over so quickly?
Now
Chapter Eleven
Kagome and Sesshomaru glared at each other some more, and then they were at the castle.
Sesshomaru spit out his words like poison at Kagome, making sure to avoid eye contact. "This is your room. I hope you find your accommodations to your liking."
Kagome glared death-daggers at him as she answered. "Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru. I am sure that I will find this... room to my liking." Kagome took on her regal princess voice and acted as stotic as Sesshomaru usually does. "Thank you, and good night, my lord." Kagome said as she was tempted to slam the heavy oak door in his cocky smug face, hoping to break his stupid cocky nose. But, a good princess knows how to resist temptation. However, she immedately ran to her bed, threw the pillow in her face, and screamed.
Sesshomaru heard Kagome screaming in to her pillow from the other side of the door and was shocked that he felt remorse for being so cruel to her. (A/N: Thanks for the constructive criticism, I will now have their inner thoughts in italics. Thanx!)
You know why you feel remorse. She smells good. Familiar. Sesshomaru nodded to himself as he leaned against the door, taking in Kagome's scent. 'It does seem familiar... Why can't I remember?' Sesshomaru thought. On the other side of the door, he heard Kagome slipping in to her bed, so he reluctantly walked away. 'Why does she smell so familiar? And her scent... I have smelt it in my castle over the last two weeks... I didn't know whose it was, and when ever I would inquire Jaken would go running. What am I not remembering?!?' Sesshomaru demanded himself to remember. "What don't I remember!"
Sesshomaru pounded his fist against a wall and tried his hardest to get his memories to come back. He knew that he wasn't remembering... He had been through this many times. Mostly when he would anger Kikyo, the family advisor. But it would usually come back as soon as he realized what was going on. But now...
The spell was much to powerful. So Sesshomaru did what he did every time that he didn't know the answers. He went to find them in his library.
He sighed as he looked up the long rows of books upon books of spells. "This could take a while."
Kagome was awoken the next morning by a gentle rapping at her door. She was so comfortable that she didn't remember where she was for the first few seconds. She just felt so contented.
"Kagome... Lady Kagome... It's time to wake up!" A small voice cried from the other side of the door.
Kagome rolled over and sighed. "Yes, I am awake. Thank you for the call." Kagome said as she stood and threw her night gown over her head. (A/N: Yes she sleeps in the nude. Hehehe... I hope you pervert boys out there like the image...) She slowly walked to her door and opened it, just to find a small black haired girl about ten years old looking up at her. She was wearing a cotton kimono that had pink and orange plaids. When she smiled, Kagome saw that she had beautiful teeth, still baby teeth. She was adorable!
"Lady Kagome, you need to eat breakfast. Do you know where your clothes are?" The little girl asked politely.
"Umm..." Kagome looked around her room. "I didn't bring any clothes." Kagome said bashfully as she looked down slyly.
The little girl smile. "Don't worry. Sesshomaru has some clothes here from a girl that was staying here while I was on a camping trip. They are really pretty, and they smell nice. Lady Kagome should wear them."
Kagome smiled. "Thank you, but are you sure that the girl won't mind?" kagome asked as she grabbed the little girls hands.
The little girl nodded. "She won't mind. Jaken says that she wouldn't care if you wore it. He says that he wouldn't let anyone else wear it."
Kagome looked shocked. "Why would he say that?"
The little girl looked around before leaning up to her. "Can you keep a secret?"
Kagome nodded.
"I tried them on. They were so pretty I couldn't resist! I hope that the girl won't mind..."
Kagome smiled. "I don't think that she would mind at all... Anyway, we should probably go get it. I am very cold in this night gown. It is a little to see-through and short for my liking." (A/N: Miroku bought it. Big surprise, yeah?)
The little girl smiled as she pulled Kagome down the hallway. "My name is Rin. And I think that we are going to be good friends, Lady Kagome."
Kagome smiled. "You can call me Kagome, if may call you Rin-chan!" Kagome said smiling.
Rin took Kagome through a series of intricate hallways and finally they showed up at a small closet door. "This is where we keep the guest sheets, but we put the kimono in here so that we wouldn't lose it."
Rin pulled out the kimono, leaving kagome to stare at it in shock.
Rin saw the look on Kagome's face and was slightly afraid for her. "What is wrong, Kagome-chan?"
Kagome looked down at her pale faced. "This is my kimono..."
Eden-
I could stop there, but why should I? On with the fic.
Sesshomaru was woken up a few minutes later by a small green toad. Sesshomaru looked around groggily with what appeared to be sand in his eyes. His gaze landed on Jaken.
"I fell asleep in the library again?" Sesshomaru asked as he rubbed his eyes.
Jaken nodded. "You rarely even sleep in your room any more. Why don't we just put a futon in here?"
Sesshomaru stood up and straightened his clothes. "There is no need."
Jaken looked over to see what book Sesshomaru had been reading and gasped. "Why are you looking up memory spells?" Jaken asked as his heart raced. 'If Sesshomaru brakes the agreement... Lady kagome won't be able to stay!'
Sesshomaru felt his heart race. "Why should you care, Jaken? Or, perhaps you know something that I do not recall." Sesshomaru used the most menacing voice he could muster.
Jaken knew that lying would be pointless. Still, he couldn't tell the truth. So, he improvised. "I have done a spell of the late that I believe back fired and hit you. I was trying to remember something and the spell went wrong. My apologies, Lord Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru knew that his little friend didn't speak the truth, but he had other ways of finding out. If Jaken would lie to him, then it had to be serious.
"Very well, Jaken. Let's just try to leave the magic to Kikyo-sama."
Jaken nodded. "Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken sighed mentally. 'I can't believe he bought that.'
Sesshomaru picked up the book again so that he could finish his reading.
"Lord Sesshomaru, Lady Kagome awaits your presence in the dining hall so that she can begin her meal, my lord." Jaken bowed humbly.
At the word Kagome, Sesshomaru's heart skipped a beat. He looked up from his book. "And why exactly should I grace her with my presence." Sesshomaru said, still angry with the fiery little demon-witch.
Jaken sighed. 'I can't believe she fell in love with him.' "Lord Sesshomaru, you do wish to strengthen the bonds between our lands, do you not?"
Sesshomaru nodded and sighed. "I shall be down in a few moments. Please do not start with out me."
Jaken nodded. "Yes milord."
Jaken ran down the stairs. He stopped to catch his breath for a moment before he entered the dining area. Kagome was not present at the moment. But as he listened for her, he heard her laughter spilling out of the kitchen. "Oh no!" Jaken screamed, as he remembered the last time that Kagome had offered to make her own meal. He rushed in and saw Kagome covered head to toe with flower in her kimono that she had accidentally left behind.
"Lady Kagome! What on earth are you doing?!?" Jaken screamed as he grabbed her to pull her out of the kitchen. However, she was much stronger than him and simply lifted him off of the ground.
"And who are you?" She asked politely as she sat him down.
"Do not worry about that! Lord Sesshomaru is..." Jaken never got to finish his warning. For he was cut off by a very annoyed Sesshomaru.
"What the hell are you doing cooking?!?" Sesshomaru demanded as he grabbed her by the arm, forcing her a good two inches off the ground.
"Let me go!" Kagome screamed as she tried to jerk away. He released her and she fell to the floor on her butt.
"Didn't anyone teach you how to behave?" Sesshomaru asked as he picked her up with one hand, forcing her on her feet again. The servants all gasped at their employers sudden change in personality.
"Please... Let me go..." Kagome cried out as she tried to pull away. Jaken stepped up.
"Lord Sesshomaru, please step away from Lady Kagome." Jaken glared up at him. Sesshomaru was in shock. 'She's here one day and already they are on her side?' The servants all nodded and pulled Kagome over to them.
Sesshomaru glared down at Jaken, who wasn't paying attention. He was looking at the grip mark Sesshomaru had left on Kagome's arm. 'This isn't how it's supposed to happen! They are supposed to fall in love!' Jaken thought.
Sesshomaru glared at Kagome who was massaging her swollen wrist and glaring right back at him.
"Now, you will eat breakfast with me. If you do not, I will be forced to punish you." Sesshomaru said as he maintained his stotic voice.
Kagome glared. "You can't tell me what to do!" She screamed.
Sesshomaru shrugged. "My house, my rules."
Kagome shrugged as well. "Then I am leaving." She started out towards an opened door in the kitchen.
"Oh no you don't!" Sesshomaru screamed as he lunged at her at inhuman speed. As soon as he touched her, they both felt a shock wave circuit through both of them, temporarily causing them to stop breathing.
"What was that?" Kagome asked meekly.
Sesshomaru looked away. "You will eat breakfast with me now..." He said in a demanding tone, but Kagome felt like he was asking her.
She frowned meekly, trying to figure out what that shock was. "Yes, milord."
Eden-
whohoo! So ends chapter eleven. Sesshomaru may seem like a jackass now, but I have my reasons for this behavior. Anyway, I will see you next chapter!
Love,
Earth Priestess Eden
