chapter 2: Stow away

--Sess's pov---

after dinner, I thanked Mrs. Higurashi. her cooking was always a delight. and so was Kagome's company. Kagome had that something that could always make me smile. I still haven't figured it out yet. after a year of being her best friend, the answers where srtill nowhere to be found.

I thanked Kagome and and ruffled Sota's hair. that boy was energetic no matter what. and he also loved his sister very much. and her grand-father? how truly interesting a person he was. he would talk all about the ancient times when yokais and hanyous lived. he was a crazy old coot. funny none-the-less.

truly, it didn't take me a year to understand that Kagome was the light of the family. she was the one that brought the smiles to their faces. i just wonder what made her so fragile to get sick almost 50 times a year. i mean, wouldn't that put you... in the hospital or something. but everytime she gets better. she acts as if she didn't get sick at all!

"aw, do you really have to leave Sessho-sama?" Sota whined. indeed he has raken a liking of me. and so have I.

"hai. it'll be night time soon. and there is school tomorrow." he nodded sadly and I looked at Kagome. she smiled and I nodded as I turned and left the Higurashi shrine. bye, Higurashi shrine. Bye....Kagome... until next time.

I watched as the human boy who looked finely like me walked out of the shrines and into a shiny red, hard cloud that made a loud, annoying sounds and left. I returned my gaze to the one he visited. Inu-yasha's wench! that Kagome. that human, who had broken my armor once, trying to peirce the arrow through my heart.

but I didn't have a heart.

I followed her into the well. the answers are still unknown to me as to why. as much as i hate to admit it. but i kept telling myself that i would know as soon as i got out of the well. i was surprised to see that i was teleported to another place. but this place was like no other. this place...reaked of smelly humans. all except for

her.

she was different, I could tell. just from the way she smelled, and the color of her eyes... I could tell... she was different. I decided to give her a little scare and ask a little about my look-alike. so I jumped down from my purch up in the Goshinboku tree and knocked on her door.

when she opened the door... the sight was such a delight. she was shocked. very much so that her eyes widenned and her lips parted. she was frozen to the spot. good.

then a boy about 10 ran out of his chambers and hugged my leg. he was so much like Rin. but he was a boy and a disgusting human. wait... Rin was human too...

"oooh! I knew you'd come back and play with me some more!" he said in delight. I however kept my neutral face on.

"Sota..." the onna said not taking her eyes away from me like I was some threat who would pounce when she would look away.

"get away from him..." she said in a stern voice. whoever knew a human would possess such a voice of strength.

"he's not the Sesshomaru we know..." what was she talking about? of course I'm Sesshomaru! the great lord of the West!

"no? but he looks so much like Sessho-sama." the boy reasoned as the onna pulled him away from me and stepped back.

"onna..." I started. but before I could say more, she had already made a run for it while saying, "Sota run! don't follow me!" she ran past me in incredible speed i'd never thought a human possessed and out of the shrine. I followed in persuit. it wasn't very long until i caught her my the wrist and pulled her to a stop.

she turned her head and faced me difiantly. really. an interesting human indeed. "if you think that he'll exchange me for Tetsusaiga, you got it all wrong, Sesshumaru!"

"who says I'm here to kidnap you?" I don't know why I said. but she was in such a panic that I just wanted something to say to calm her down. what the?!

"y-you're....you're not?" well atleast she calmed. but now her fear was replaced by confussion and bewilderment.

"I'm here to ask you questions. and I will get answers." i said sternly. she faced me again defiantly, her once bewildered expression changed to a proud and diligent one. how she amazed me...

"and then what? are you going to kill me?" she said like she was daring fate! was she mad?! or was she just foolish.

"it relies on your answers." a long silence covered the bothe of us like a thick blanket and then she nodded her agreement. good.

"who was that human? the one who looked like I, the great lord, Sesshomaru."

"he's...he's... a f-friend of mine." he answered. but that wasn't enough. "name." i said. she paled a little... "Se- Se- Sesshomaru..." what?! after that my mind made a BIG.............. blank.
