1In The Hands Of Fate

Chapter 3

AN Sorry for taking so long school and family just seem to take over at the holidays. And now on to the story.

"Onna you have yet to answer my original question," Sesshomaru demanded.

"Um, what was that?" Was the ever brilliant reply.

"Why did you save me?"

"You expected me to just leave you there to die? I never thought I portrayed myself as heartless."

"You still have not answered the question"

"And here I thought you were patient. Well you were hurt and obviously needed help. It didn't look like the little toad guy that followed you was there, and I didn't see or hear Rin. So I got Sango to help move you here, since I knew both the toad and Rin would be devastated if you died. There are you happy?"

"..."

"Are you even awake?"

"My eyes are open."

"Yes, but I've heard or people who sleep with their eyes open," Kagome said as she stood up. "I'm going to get something to eat. There anything you'd like?"

"..."

"You know if you don't eat something it'll take longer for you to get better. That is of course if you don't die of starvation."

"..."

"Fine, see if I care! All the work I do to help and it's always thrown in my face is a simple "Thank you" too much to ask for. It's not like it costs anything, or is all that hard to say. The things I do, because I have a conscience, and for men who never appreciate it..."Kagome mumbled as she left for the kitchen. "...And the worst part is the fact that they seem to get worse. Hojo, so annoying, but can be sweet, so I can live with that. InuYasha, I could deal with the attitude. Miroku, I might just cut his hand off to relieve him of his "curse", but other than that.. Oh, I'd have to tie him up every time I wanted a bath, but again doable. Kouga, I can't deal with him too annoying and too persistent. Finally I have you now anything you'd like to say about yourself?"

"..."

"Thought so. Here I brought you up some food eat it if you want to, but I have homework."

"..."

Kagome then went and sat down at her desk pulling out her math book, and pencil to start her work.

"I was not aware that humans could read."

Kagome spun around and faced Sesshomaru. "This is math. Math deals with numbers, but yes I can read."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that I can too. Here 'Find all the variables if chord PF equals twenty'. Sounds simple enough actually. Which problem is this? Circle stuff. Hmmm..."

"..."

"Hey! It's a miracle I figured it out. Now to check it." flip, flip, flip "I got it right! Now on to octagons."sigh

"..."

-Hours later-

"Hey 'Gome Mom made dinner, and it's oden," Souta chimed in breaking her thoughts.

"Be down in a sec. I think I just about got this."

"You're putting off oden? Mom Kagome's sick!"

"Done! And I'm not sick you little twerp! Wait til I get my hands on you!"

"Eep!"

"Hey Sesshomaru, do you want any oden?"

"..."

"Are you awake?"

"..."

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty, it's time to smell the roses."

"I am awake Onna, and there are no roses here to smell. Not that I would any way."

"Good, and it's a saying. I didn't mean it literally."

"..."

"So, you hungry?"

"..."

"Fine, more oden for me," and with that Kagome left to go eat leaving the taiyoukai to himself.

Sorry again for the late update. Thanks for the reviews. RR
