Chapter 16: Backfired…
It was night and Kagome was picking up firewood hastily.
-Kag's pov-
'One… two… three…' okay, wanna know why I'm counting twigs? Because I'm scared! Yup! Brave little Kagome's scared of the dark! But I'd never tell anyone that! Never in my life! Or maybe I'll make an exception to the one I love… but all in all, I was a paranoid. Ever since I watched that movie called the ring, I got so paranoid of seeing Sadako's face! So that's why I'm picking these things up so quickly and that's why I'm counting! To distract myself of thinking of her!
But then I heard a rustling in the trees and a strong aura. Oh my Kami!!!! My heart started beating real quick and I dropped my 'collection' of twigs in an instant! I started backing up slowly getting ready to make a run for it. But before I could turn to run, I felt something firm behind me. I was so scared that I didn't even want to look! Ooohhh! I just hope she takes me to hell quickly!
"Human." I heard… hey! That wasn't Sadako's voice! 'That was…' I turned to see beautiful golden eyes filled with nothingness. 'Sesshoumaru…'
"Sesshoumaru you scared me half to death!" I said releasing the breath I didn't know I kept in and held my chest where my heart's supposed to be.
"Come." He said. Come? Come where? Now I didn't wanna ask so I just gave him a look that said, 'what the heck are you talking about?'
He sighed and grabbed my wrist. What was he doing?
He wound my arm around his neck and I started blushing. What was he doing?
He then swept me off my feet and into his arms as I reflectively held onto him with both arms. WHAT WAS HE DOING?!
"H-hey! What're you trying to do?! Hey let go!" as much as I screamed he wouldn't let go.
"Silence." He commanded. And suprisingly, I complied. He suddenly took off and I just had to complain.
"Hey! What about my twigs?!" and all I got as a reply was silence and nothing but. I inwardly sighed… great, I left my twigs, Inu-yasha's gonna be looking for me, I don't know where the heck I'm going and I think Sesshoumaru's lost his mind. Great, just great.
-Sessho's pov-
After a long while of carrying Kagome, I landed at the territory of the wolves where I shall establish my plot. I shall leave her here without being noticed and those pesky wolves shall eat her. It was a perfect plan! Yet this sinking feeling did not cease. 'Can I really do something so dishonorable?' I asked myself looking at the suddenly quiet woman. And I realized that she had fallen asleep: on my shielded chest. Then I realized that if I did not have these armors, I would have felt her warmth. Does that mean that if I do not push her away, that I would feel her warmth? No…no… remember the plan. I shall not back down now.
"Kagome" I said, and as I estimated, she was a Very light sleeper as she woke up groggily.
"Hmm? Are we there yet?" amusing, she sounded much like Rin.
"Indeed" I answered as this Sesshoumaru put her onto her feet.
"Mm…" she said stretching her limbs ad yawning. I could only watch in slight amusement.
"So, where are we anyway?" she asked smiling at me.
"This is part of the Western lands."
"And?" she said raising an eyebrow. I could only smirk and 'humph' in some warm feeling in me.
"Look eastward." And so she did and by the realization look on her face, I believe she has seen the sunrise.
"Yes, I see that you want me to stay away from camp for a really long time…"
"No." she really did not receive my point, did she? So I pointed behind her and said, "look"
And as she did… I heard her gasp and saw the amazed look upon her face. A slight blush upon her face seeing that she thinks this is very beautiful. 'She is the one who is beautiful.' Another of those blasted thoughts! When will they cease?!
"It's beautiful!!!! I mean, look at it! The skies are so beautiful! It's already morning but there're still stars!"
"Do you think of it as beautiful?" I do not know of the reason, but this Sesshoumaru truly wanted to know.
She looked up at I, Sesshoumaru, and smiled. And suddenly as if time itself had stopped, I felt her body against mine in a warm contact. I believe this is what Rin does when I see her. What she calls… an embrace…
"It's very beautiful… arigatou…" she whispered gently into my hair… and that was when I decided to take advantage of this warmth and wound my arms around her waist. And once again, the thought crossed my mind… 'Can I really do this?' yes. I must!
"Kagome, wait here. I shall be back." I said releasing myself from her warmth.
"Oh, okay." She said. And I walked away… "Sesshoumaru?" she called back. I paused for her inquiries. "Hurry back, 'k?" I was surprised and taken back. She was making me promise to come back. Yet I plan to leave her… 'No! Do not leave the plan!' I reprimanded myself as I walked away… with heavy footsteps…
-Kag's pov-
After about an hour, Sesshoumaru still hasn't come back. I started to worry so I decided to look for him. But then I heard a growl and I saw a lot of wolves coming out of the bushes. Oh God! Oh no! And then only one thing came to mind… 'RUN!!!!!!' and so I did.
I heard the wolves' hungry barks! Help! Somebody, help me! Sesshoumaru! Inu-yasha! Sess-kun! Anyone! Help!
But suddenly I heard someone whisper my name and some force kept pulling at my arm. So I looked back and saw….
"Kouga!" I said in pure reflex. He smiled his trademark grin showing his fangs and pulled me into a hug.
"How's my woman?!" ugh! He's still calling me that?
"Look, Kouga, I-" "I see you finally discovered the dog-turd was useless and decided to come with me instead." I struggled out of his hug. "Kouga, please let go." I asked nicely. And he let go, thankfully.
"Hey, be careful, Kagome. There's a cliff behind you." He said with concern. Oh, that's so sweet! I guess even though he's mean to my friends he really cares about me. I stepped about two steps away from the cliff and said, "thanks Kouga-kun."
"So, let's mate!" MATE?! I felt my eyes widen and I could feel the heat on my cheeks!
"M-mate?! Now, wait a minute, Kouga-kun! Don't you think you're moving a little too fast?!" I said backing up slightly.
Then to my horror, he was moving towards me! I really don't want him that near!
But suddenly, out of the blues, Sesshoumaru appeared right in front of him in defense stance! Phew! Talk about perfect timing! He released a feral growl and to tell the truth, I was pretty scared about his growl too. It sort of made me feel… how can I put it… it sent… shivers… down my spine.
-Sessho's pov-
I was truly irritated with this baka wolf! Was he foolish enough to fiddle with my woman?! Wait… where did that come from?! "Leave… or be punished." I said threateningly.
"Keh! Sorry, not gonna happen!" he said obnoxiously. I shall see to it he will die painfully slow.
I charged at him with claws by my side ready to strike. He charged at me as well with his sword. How pitiful was his little sword. I slashed but was surprised at his speed for all I had slashed was air. He suddenly appeared behind me and tried to kick me from above. I quickly defended myself by taking out toukijin and slashing at him. He quickly pulled up his leg before it could be cut off.
"Woah! Don't worry Kagome! I'll come get you next time!" he said running away after he landed. I charged at the retreating wolf. How cowardly!
"Sesshoumaru!" I heard Kagome call back at me and so I stopped and looked at her.
"Don't. He's gone already." I let her reason me into relaxing my tense self and calmly walked to her.
"Are you unharmed?" She smiled reassuring me of her health… but then the earth underneath her moved. She was a step from death and that step away wanted her to fall! She screamed as she lost her footing and also the land she was once standing on.
"Kagome!" I said reflexively reaching for her. But I could not reach her!
But thankfully, she had her hold of my subduing necklace! For once! For once, that blasted necklace was for once useful!
"Sesshoumaru!" she said with her voice clearly laced with fear. I felt the pull of gravity on my neck but I had to save her. So I pushed upwards to lift her. But then, I heard something snap behind me and the pull of Review Responses: gravity suddenly vanished. I looked at Kagome and…
"SESSHOUMARU!!!!!!!!!!" NO! I jumped off the cliff hurrying to catch up to her. "Kagome!"
When I was finally near her, I held her close and tucked her head under my chin. I will protect her! I promised!
"Sesshoumaru!" "I promised!"
"Arigatou…" what? I looked at her in utter confusion. As she looked at me, I could not help but be mesmerized by her blue eyes glazed with pure happiness. Happiness?
"You called me by my name… Arigatou gozaimasu…" she said holding herself nearer to me… and I held her more protectively. I truly wished that time would stop! I truly did. As we approached trees, I felt every single branch whip my head and back. But I held onto her tighter! I will not let her be injured.
And as my body hit the ground, I could feel my body go numb and weaken. I winced slightly in pain but I still did not let her go… I promised her.
