Chapter 19: Hello? Naraku? Part I.

The morning was chilly. Everybody were having their last pleasant dreams when the shout woke them up with loud crush. When everybody had their eyes open they say a very pissed of Inu Yasha and Kouga standing over the fallen Sesshoumaru with Kagome in his arms and tail. As one could see Sessho and Kagome had sleepy eyes not understanding what's going on. Well Kagome didn't but Sesshoumaru was wide awake thanks to the not so soft landing.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING YOU BASTARD." Yelled Inu Yasha.

"I was sleeping idiot can't you see?" Sesshoumaru snapped angrily. He stopped when he felt Kagome snuggling deeper in his tail never waking up. 'Lucky fluffy and I'm the only one left to deal with those arrogant fools early in the morning.' Kagome looked at the standing boys before her. She wanted nothing but to kill them herself to ease her irritation. 'Must be youkai blood is affecting my actions. Well for the moment I agree wholeheartedly and gladly follow my instincs' When she prepared to launch at the annoying pair she stopped. 'Damn. I can't fight them with Sesshoumaru in my hands.' So with angry growl Kagome settled back on the ground eyeing the early troublemakers with irritation.

"Lucky for you my hands are full now so you may live through this morning." She grumbled making herself comfortable leaning against the tree and adjusted sleeping Sesshoumaru in her arms. Inu Yasha and Kouga just stood there with their mouths open and one thought flying through their heads. 'How Kagome could sleep in the arms of her enemy? He must have put some spell on her.' As they didn't want to wake up Kagome and feel her warth upon themselves they huffed and went to pack their things before they continue their journey to Naraku's castle. Azamuku, Sango and Miroku followed the morning dialoge with curiosity. When all the commotion was over they quitely continued packing up and depart. When everything was ready they looked at Sesshoumaru.

"Ok. As you are all ready let's go." Without any further interruptions Sesshoumaru stood up and started walking with sleeping Kagome in his arms. Everybody was dumbfounded but followed him anyway. They continued walking for one hour in silence then Sesshoumaru stopped. Wide river spread before him. A whicked gleam could be seen in his eyes.

"And now for the morning ritual." With a heavy sing he shook Kagome.

"Wake up ... human."

"Mmmm." Was the only reply he got. He tried to shake Kagome harder but the result was the same. With a snort he neared the river and dumped the still sleeping human girl in the water. The effect was overhelming.

"AAAAAAAAA!!! COLD!!! IT'S COLD!!! IDIOT!!! NOW YOU ARE DEAD FOR SURE!!!" With rage Kagome launched herself at leaping away Sessoumaru.

"COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD!!!"

"IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT. YOU SHOULD HAVE WOKEN UP WHEN I SHOOK YOU!!!" He shouted back over his shoulder.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER!!!"

"I DID BUT THE WATER IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY!"

"Grrrr ... I TOLD YOU NEVER DO IT AGAIN OR HAVE YOU GOT A SHORT MEMORY?!!!" Kagome stopped to catch her breath. 'Damn pant human pant body.' Kagome stopped seing Sesshoumaru wasn't chasing after her anymore and singed in reliefe. Sesshoumaru sent her a deathglare.

"Ok. I won't kill you today but now as you made me wet ..." Sesshoumjaru shot Kagome a wicked smile. 'Oh-oh. I'm in deep trouble.' Kagome thought looking at a smile Sesshoumaru was giving her. "Give me your haori as i will need to wait for my clothes to dry." He exctended his hand waiting with a look tha said if-you-don't-then-i'm-going-to-purify-you-this-instant-even-if-it-will-prevent-me-from-returning-back. Kagome gulped nerviously and handed him her haori. He took it and went to change. When he dissapeared Kagome singed in reliefe and bowed his head.

"Nice" Miroku comented. Kagome jumped up from surprise. During their argument she forgot about her friends who stood behind her and saw everything. Her cheeks warmed. 'Baka. From this moment not a trick on Sesshoumaru. I'm not at home where no one knows him. Damn. I'm sooo unlucky.'

"Shut up monk." She growled deep in her throat.

"You already knew how to wake her up with effect." Sango looked at the Sesshoumaru's form standing ahead of them. Kagome tensed. 'Crap. If I would be a real Sesshoumaru I would have left my body on the ground but sniff that was MY body I couldn't just left it on the cold ground. Better find a safe way so no one find out about our curse. What should I do?' She was interrupted in her thoughts when Kagome showed from the bushes. the sight was quite comical and Kagome would have laughed if Sesshoumaru's deathglare wasn't thrown her way.

"Just try to say it and you are all toasts." Sesshouamru looked at the entire group with warning in his beautiful blue eyes. As Sesshoumaru was in Kagome's petite body the white haori he put on was too big for him. it looked like an over large bathrobe. He handed his wet clothes to Sango who put them away in the bag. Then he stumbled toward Sesshoumaru.

"Damn." He cursed when he almost fell when he tripped over haori's hem. Taking a deep breath he faced Kagome.

"No you must carry me untilmy clothes are dry." He came nearer. "Try to say'no' and you'll be sorry." He snapped at Kagome as she opened her mouth to speak. She quickly closed it and with a nervious gulp he turned around and kneeled.

"That's better." Kagome smirked and climbed on Sesshoumaru's back. "Now let's go." Cheerfully she patted his shoulder. He stood up grumbling.

"I'm not your transport."

"Shut up and let's go." Kagome turned around and faced her friends. "Come on or we'll never get there in time."

Everybody had their mouths on the ground and their eyes wide open. They never saw Sesshoumaru acting so obedient. 'What were they talking about yesterday?' Inu Yasha and Kouga thought together. In silence the group followed.

End

Sorry for a very short one but I'm leaving for a summer job and I don't know if I would be able to up-date any time soon. I hope I would be able to find any computer there. If I'm unlucky this story would be delayed for three months. I hope not.(crossing my fingers.)

Wish me luck.

Thank you all for reviews.
