Chapter 13: Action and Reaction
Okay, this's a really really short chapter! I think you'll all hate me for it!
-Kag's pov-
I smiled as he flew to the scene. And I somehow figured… 'Sesshoumaru can be sweet too. In his own way.' It reminded me of someone I know… 'Like Inu-yasha…' I smiled some more. They say they're very different… but in truth, they're so alike! They would be a strong enough force to fight Naraku if they worked together.
"Kagome?" I heard Shippou say and so I looked at him.
"Yes, Shippou?"
"How come he promised you that?" promised me… yes… the same question rang in my mind. Why did he promise to protect me? How come? What's the deal?
"I-I really don't know, Shippou… people have their reasons, I guess…" after that we watched Sesshoumaru and Inu-yasha, argue while fighting the big thing.
"Keep out of this! This's my fight!" Inu-yasha barked at Sesshoumaru.
"I do not trust that you are capable of this monstrosity, brother!" Sesshoumaru said with dripping poison on the brother part.
Inu-yasha slashed at the ogre's arm while Sesshoumaru clawed at it's back.
"Hey, Shippou? Where are Sango and Miroku?"
"Miroku is with Kaede trying to heal some of the injured men! And Sango's…."
"What? Sango's what?"
"Well… the ogre…"
"The ogre what?" what was he hesitating about?
"Kagome! Watch out!" I turned my head to the direction of Inu-yasha's voice and in a flash; he grabbed me and ran away from the falling arm of the ogre. Really! What's with men and grabbing me?!
"Inu-yasha!" I said in pure reaction!
"What're you doing here, wench?!" what?!
"Weren't you the one who told me not to be late?!" I said putting my hands on my hips.
He 'Feh'd and kept on running.
"Inu-yasha, where's Sango?"
"The ogre took her!"
"What?!" he did?! What the heck is the ogre going to do with her?
"What for?!"
"Kagome, you better stay away from that ogre! Don't let him near you!"
"Inu-yasha, WHAT FOR?!" Why won't anybody tell me?!
"Because he's gonna take you and present you as a sacrifice to their leader! He's collecting women from the village!" right there, I was completely dumbfounded.
"Sango? And me? A sacrifice? To their leader? And then what?! Are they gonna eat us?!"
"Worse!" okay, I'm getting freaked!
"Worse? What could be worse?!" I really didn't want to ask that question.
"They're gonna f-" no! "AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! NNNOOOOO!!!!!! IIII DDDONNN'T WANNA LOOOSEEE MMY VVIRRRGIINIITYY YYETTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" NONONONONONONO!!! I LIKE BEING A VIRGIN! SINGLE! I DON'T WANNA DO THAT WITH SOMEONE I DON'T EVEN KNOW! NOOOO!!!!!!!
"Shut up! Why do you think I'm keeping you away from him?!" oh… THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, INU-YASHA! I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
"Kagome, what's Inu-yasha talking about?" Shippou asked still in my arms.
I don't think he's completely ready for that right now. Inu-yasha stopped and came back to the battle.
"I'll tell you when you're older." Well, now I sound like mom. I looked at Sesshoumaru again. He was still fighting the ogre… he came down to the ogre's head and punched him on the forehead. It was strong enough to back up just a little. But after the ogre stopped rubbing its forehead, I saw that there weren't any more shards… Sesshoumaru took the shards! After that, Inu-yasha came from behind it and sliced the ugly thing in half with the tetsusaiga. I admit, it was relatively disgusting to see all those… internal organs… but as gross and messy as it was… I kept wondering why both their hairs're still beautiful and not messed up at all!
I mean, how come they can do that, while I can't? And I don't even fight that much! Sometimes, life is just so unfair.
Inu-yasha landed a few feet from us frowning and huffing. Wonder why?
Just then Sesshoumaru landed a few feet away from all three of us. He walked my way, his stride still graceful and regal, he stopped in front of me and extended his hand.
I looked at it curiously as I heard a growl from the background. (That's Inu growling)
He opened his fist and I saw 2 shards.
"I believe that this is your property." He said. I took it from his hands and smiled up at him. That's such a nice thing to do!
"Arigatou gozaimasu."
"Oy! What's with the two of you?! You're acting like you're friends or something!" I heard Inu-yasha stomp to us as I looked at his angry face.
"Sit!" 'Thud!' "That's 'coz we are, Inu-yasha!" and in a swift movement he was up anime' style and screamed, "what the fu-" "Sit! "Thud!" that's the second time he almost said that!
"Sesshoumaru, I-" I was just about to thank him but when I looked at his direction… he was gone. I guess he doesn't want to be thanked.
-Sessho's pov-
I was angry with myself. I was disgusted with myself. I let her disrespect me, I saved her, and I even vowed to protect her! Why was I acting without thought?! Why am I jumping without looking?! Why am I acting so much like my hanyou of a half-brother?!
This was unexplainable! Too many questions, too few answers, and I do not favor being unable to understand these things! But I must tend to Rin and also my lands first. I will soon enough be able to clear my thoughts after that.
'Rin was human as well…' the thought came instantly into my mind. 'She might know of this unexplainable behavior caused by the onna. But still, she is a child… she might not know of it either'
