Chapter 5: Flowers, pillow fight and no purification?.
On the next morning Kagome was rudely woken up at the early sun-rise. Sleepy she turned over and opened her amber eyes only to meet herself some inches from her face. She screamed and tossed the pillow at the person in front of her. That knocked Sesshomaru on the floor. Then she remembered who she was and made a mental note to get used to it in order to prevent any mistakes in the future. She gasped when she heard muffled sound coming from the floor. She moved closer to the edge of the bed and looked down. There lay her body under the heave pillow.
"I'm terribly sorry. I totally forgot." She helped him to get up.
"Woman." He jerked away from her touch in instinct. – "You need to remember all the time who you are right now, so we won't end up in these bodies forever." At the thought he shuddered.
"I'm sorry." When she bowed her head she was hit by the pillow.
"HEY! What was that for?"
"Never apologize."
"You could have just told me." – She spit angrily, throwing the pillow back.
"Wench!" – Sesshomaru hissed and the pillow fight began, together with bickering and insults. They were so engrossed in getting at each other with pillows that they didn't notice that they were making quite a rack in the usual quite household. Rin and Jaken curious what the noise was crept to their masters doors and peaked inside. What they saw made their mouths open in shock and surprise. The room was a mess. Covers were lying everywhere. Some of the pillows were lying on the floor, some – were shred in pieces, because Kagome in accident tried to catch it with her hand forgetting about claws, so the first pillow was gone. Feathers were flying everywhere. On the bed Sesshomaru on his knees glad only in navy blue shorts and unbuttoned shirt with pillow in his hand ready to defend himself. Next to him a very pissed off Kagome in short pale orange kimono with another pillow with killing gleam in her eyes was ready to strike the hell out of Sesshomaru who was slowly backing away from her as far as possible also trying not to fall from the bed in the process. Kagome was breathing hard. 'Damn the body' – She thought for the thousand times this day. They were so busy staring daggers at each other that they missed when someone coughed. Now they were both breathing hard together. "Wench" "Bastard" escaped their lips at the same time.
Jaken saw that to distract them he needed to do something very soon before anything bad happens.
"SESSHOMARU-SAMA!!!" – He shouted.
"WHAT!!!" – Snapped a very angry woman next to Sesshomaru, turning with look promising a very slow and painful death to whoever dared to come in his quarters without permission and dared to interrupt whatever he was doing. Seeing who they were Sesshomaru tried to calm his nerves already shaken in the early morning and turned to Kagome giving her silent look to do something. She also calmed down enough to understand his silent sign. She put the pillow down and sat on the edge of the bed facing the two. Trying to imitate Sesshomaru as best as she could she concentrated on looking as cool and calm as possible, while muttering under her breath so that only Sesshomaru could hear. "Speaking of remembering all the time about our current situation." She would have received a smack on her head, but Sesshomaru decided to leave it for later. He also put his pillow aside and sat near Kagome, ignoring the shock on Jake's face. When everything calmed down a heavy silence hung in the room.
"Sesshomaru-sama." – Jaken asked with caution. He didn't want his master angry more than he already was.
"What." – She tried her best to look arrogant.
"Forgive this humble servant for his actions but we heard the strange noise and thought you would need our assistance."
"I don't need any assistance. Go and order the food to be prepared."
"As you wish." – Jaken hurried out of the room, leaving Rin alone standing near the door.
"Good morning Rin." – Her voice softened. How hard she didn't try she couldn't be too strict with small girl it just was totally against her nature, although she tried her best to low her motherly instincts to the minimum.
"Good morning Sesshomaru-sama, Kagome-oneechan." – She came closer to them and gently attached herself to his leg.
"Sesshomaru-sama?" – She asked in a small voice.
"What Rin?"
"Is Pretty Lady going to stay and live with us?"
This question caught both of them off guard. Sesshomaru been referred as 'Pretty Lady' was hard to bear, but receiving a warning glare from Kagome, he tried to remember their night conversation about her behavior. He braced himself and smiled looking at the girl on the floor, finally decided he picked her up and placed her on his lap.
"I'm not so sure Rin." – He tried to sound more gentle and soft, the even thought about it made him cringe. – "For now Ka… I'm going to stay in the castle for about 2 weeks and then we'll leave, but not for too long."
As Sesshomaru was occupied she had an idea of repaying him for the rough waking up. 'He is going to love this one I'm sure.' – She smirked inside.
"Rin. Do you want to go to the gardens? I'm sure Kagome would love to see it and play with you." – She looked at him with look that said don't-even-think-of-backing-out-of-this-one.
"WOW!!!!! THAT'S SO COOL, I CAN'T WAIT. NOW HURRY UP." – Rin was happy.
At the thought Sesshomaru winced and glared at Kagome, promising her nothing but hell in nearby future.
Happily Rin tugged at woman's kimono motioning for her to hurry and come with her. After several minutes when Kagome and Sesshomaru were ready they strode after the small girl out of the castle.
The day was warm and sunny. In front of the gloomy castle gorgeous garden spread for miles in every direction. A lot of flowers could be seen everywhere. Rin skipped happily through them and picked the better ones. Then she ran back to the walking couple and gave each of them a small bouquet. Kagome gladly took one but Sesshomaru was reminded that he need to take one also with smile on his lips. He took one but from the look on his face it was a torture to him. They came near the huge old tree and Sesshomaru sat under the shade of the tree. Kagome told him that he needed to relax and enjoy life, always smile and play with Rin and ALSO take as many flowers she would give him. Before he could protest she jumped on the lower branch on the tree as she saw Inu Yasha did every time when they stopped for camp. There she made herself comfortable as she listened to his growling and Rin's happy chatter that finally her protector brought home someone who is willing to stay and play with her in the fields. She smirked. She knew exactly as he felt and the discomfort of the Great Lord Of the Western Lands made her satisfied. 'That should teach him a lesson of being the arrogant one.'
After two hours he had enough. He stood up and brushed all the grass and flowers on the ground. He looked up and saw Kagome sleeping above him. He greeted his teeth in frustration. He was playing with Rin, tried to be nice and Kagome was napping staying out of every hardship he endured during past hours. It was really unfair. Looking around he spotted a bouquet lying near his left foot and smirked. He picked it up and aiming carefully with all his force sent it up toward the person on the branch. It hit Kagome exactly on her nose which made her jerk up quite suddenly and thus caused her to lost her balance falling down on the waiting Sesshomaru below. They made quite a cute heap on the ground Sesshomaru with Kagome on top of him. It would be not so awful if during her sudden fall she didn't end up kissing him full on the lips from the shock she received when been hit. Both of their eyes widened making Kagome blush a deep red. She quickly got up and scrambled away from squished Sesshomaru. She tried to calm her hart beat and her flaming face.
"Gomene, I didn't mean to." – She looked away toward the happy Rin who was standing not far away and was grinning. It looked like she saw everything what happened and was enjoying the very moment of it.
Sesshomaru got on his feet trying to brush away a sudden feeling which invaded his body during the accident kiss. He also looked at Rin and paled. 'I hope she doesn't get any weird ideas about what happened.' – He thought with panic in his usual calm self.
Rin jumped up and down and ran to the standing couple taking Kagome's hand and squeezing it in her small ones.
"Kagome-oneechan are you going to be Sesshomaru-sama's mate? Are you going to become my mother? I hope you like him, he is so kind and it is always safe when he is around, ne?" – She looked at the girl with hope in her eyes and a smile of pure happiness on her face. Both of them after hearing her blushed. Sesshomaru stared at the girl holding his arm half pleased that she had a high opinion about him, but the other was in shock. 'Me and this brainless, stupid human?' He shook the thought away. No way is he going to end up like his father mating with some worthless human. He gave her a small smile.
"No Rin I don't think so, we are together because we have some business with each other but when it is done I'm going to return home." At this the small girl looked sad.
"It's a pity. I hoped you liked him because he like's you."
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome with surprise on his face, she turned around not wanting for him to notice her scarlet face.
"Rin. It's dinner time. Go call Jaken to prepare everything we would be there shortly."
"As you wish Sesshomaru-sama." She hurried toward the castle and the doors closed after her leaving the silent couple under the tree each thinking their own thoughts.
"After dinner we are going to train. So be ready do begin as soon as we finish. And be a little stricter. I won't tolerate any airy behavior."
"Sorry." – She whispered.
He signed. 'She never gonna learn.'
And with that together they went inside and ate dinner in total silence. After it was finished they went to the dojo to begin their training.
They stood in the center facing each other.
"Ok. First take the sword and get in to the fighting stance. – She did as she was told. – Then concentrate on our surroundings and find out if you could sense any youkai's nearby."
"I can sense three not far from the castle."
"Good. Choose one and sent a call for it to come."
She tried her best and succeeded.
"Now it's my turn." He picked up a bow and arrows. "I'll try to stop and purify it. Get ready."
They prepared for whatever was coming to them. Through the huge doors a large youkai step through. He was huge with three heads, one was a fox, another – a dog and the third one was a mixture between birds and dragons heads. It was covered with green fur and black stripes coming along the back. He had four legs with massive claws. It roared when he saw his pray. Sesshomaru took an arrow and aimed at one of his heads. 'Of all the youkai's only the most dangerous one decided to come.' He fired his arrow. It flew with bright pink light but when it neared the beast the color faded and became deep purple. It hit the creature in the fox's head but instead of purification it gave him more strength.
Sesshomaru stood there with his mouth slightly open not believing he had failed on such an easy task.
"SESSHY NO BAKA HOW COULD YOU REVERSE YOUR POWERS AND INSTEAD OF KILLING IT GIVING HIM MORE STRENGH!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs. Not waiting for his reply she lunged at the beast with her sword ready but unfortunately for her it was her first time holding a sword so her first attack was clumsy which led her sword flying at the far end of the training area. She jumped and tried to hide behind Sesshomaru.
"IDIOT. YOU ARE STRONGER, GO AND KILL IT BEFOE IT KILLS US!!!!" A very pissed Sesshomaru screamed at her in return.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, YOU BAKA!!!" She screamed back. While they were arguing, they totally forgot about the youkai standing there and growling at them.
Suddenly the temperature dropped and they saw two tall cloaked figures walking past them and out of the dojo all the while quietly talking about something and not paying attention around them. They stared at the door from which they just left.
"Have you just seen any out of the ordinary while we were arguing?" – Kagome asked quietly.
"You mean two tall cloaked figures that just went through that door?" He pointed left.
"Yep. That's the ones." All the while summoned youkai totally ignored.
"You know them?" – She inquired.
"No. You?"
"Nope…. I wonder…."
Together they went out of the same door but once outside they didn't see anyone. They stood there and pondered about it for a couple of minutes when they heard a shriek coming from where they just came from. They looked at each other thinking that they must have forgotten something.
"SESSHOMARY-SAMA. THERE IS A BIG, HUNGRY YOUKAI OUT HERE. WOULD YOU CARE TO TAKE CARE OF IT WHILE I'M HOLDING HIM DOWN?" – Screamed Jaken who was pinned to the wall with one claw of the beast.
Both sweat dropped. How could they have forgotten about the creature they didn't know and now hurried back before it would do any damage to the area and Jaken. Sesshomaru managed to distract the beast while Kagome sliced it with her claws and the creature fled back to the woods howling with deep wounds.
'Next time' Kagome made a note. 'No more calling beasts with big auras.'
They dusted themselves and returned inside the castle to freshen up, have evening meal and them to retire. They were exhausted from the day's events as they were still getting used to their new bodies and after they ate their food they fell asleep before their heads touched the pillows.
End.
Ok. That was long one. I do hope you all like it as I'm. Enjoy it.
Thanks for reviews.
