Okay, no apologies, I will not apologize. Sniff sniff Okay...I'm SORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRY! WAH!
Whew, another chapter, another fill in chapter, but it's a chapter and you must fill in some before you can continue the story. Blah blah blah, talking about it won't get the story written and if it's not written then no one can read it. So here's a new written chapter for you to read for your enjoyment.
Okay people you said you wanted a hint as to the pairing of this story so...this story is not a Kagome/Sesshomaru story.
Now onto the story.
;In the dojo;
'When is this going to end? Geez, I'm soooo bored.'
Shippo still sits outside of the door to the training room that Kagome and Sesshomaru disappeared into millions of hours ago, or so it seems. Kage sits lazily next to Shippo; only his ears move back and forth to listen for sounds.
Suddenly Shippo and Kage are tossed a little ways across the hallway as the door begins to lurch and tremble, a lot. Undistinguishable noises come from the other side of the jumpy door. Kage just settles back down against the opposite wall as Shippo cautiously tiptoes closer to the door.
THUMP!
Startled he falls back, turning on his stomach he listens to see if the door will jump anymore.
When no more sounds come from inside the training room he veerry slowly inches his way up to the door and leans his ear on the wood to listen.
After a moment of hearing no sounds and sensing no movement Shippo inches the extremely heavy door open with Kage's help.
'It looks different in here.' Shippo thinks, 'not as...neat.'
And he was right, the cases against the back wall are broken and glass is littered everywhere. Holes are in the walls, and cracks are seen that start at the bottom of the floor and lead up to the ceiling to stop at the center.
'Looks like the room is going to collapse, or maybe it already partly did.'
Bits of ceiling sit in piles everywhere and other pieces look about to fall at any moment.
Shippo walks into the room a little way and looks back at the door.
'So that' s why it was so heavy.'
Hanging suspended a few inches in the air is Sesshomaru with his claws in a tight grip on the edges of the door. His back is to the door so that he faces in and he is looking coldly at something across the room.
Following Sesshomaru's gaze Shippo sees Kagome leaning against the wall next to the shattered weapon cases. A dent in the wall above her hints to the fact that at one point Sesshomaru was not the only one suspended off the ground for a period of time.
Silence is the only sound in the room as Kagome and Sesshomaru glare at each other.
Undisturbed Kage walks over to his mistress and stands at her feet.
Letting go of the door Sesshomaru settles lightly on the floor and walks over to Kagome.
"You are improving."
"That's all you have to say? I blast you halfway across the room and almost bring down the building and all you have to say is that I'm improving."
"That is correct."
"You are a very snobbish demon Sesshomaru, but that's okay."
Kagome throws her arms around the demon lord's waist and squeezes him tightly then kneels down to let Kage climb onto her shoulders. She walks over to Shippo and looks down softly at him.
"Ready to go Shippo?" She asks him with a smile on her face.
"You bet, I'm starving and I'm bored."
Kagome chuckles softly as she picks him up, "then I guess we need to get you fed."
She turns around to face Sesshomaru only to stop suddenly with her nose inches away from his chest.
"You ever heard of personal space Sesshy?" Kagome asks him with her face still in his chest.
"Of course I have, have you ever heard of cleaning up after you make a mess?"
"Of course-oh."
She looks around the room giggling in embarrassment.
"Sorry Sesshy, I'll clean it up next time I come. If I don't leave now though I might not make it back to the shrine in time though."
"In time for what momma?" Shippo asks.
"I have to be around to find out if those guys at the shrine are really there to investigate me or if they're there for something else."
At the subject of the unexpected guests at the shrine Kage bristled his fur slightly and Kagome reaches up to smooth it back down.
"And you need to find a way to get rid of them."
"I'll try and find a way to get them away from me, but in the mean time I'll be careful."
"Good, now leave before I make up clean up this distasteful mess."
"Hai Sesshy, bye and see you soon." Kagome says rushing out of the room.
A few moments later he hears her machine start up and listens as it fades away.
"Be careful Kagome." He says into the emptiness that is left behind.
;Later with Sesshomaru in his study;
SLAM!
The front door slams shut and the echo is heard throughout the house all the way to the back where the study is on the second floor.
Footsteps move around curiously in the house below as another set move quickly up the stair.
"HI SESSHOMARU!" A young girl yells as she runs into the study and launches herself at him for a hug.
Sesshomaru adopted the girl a long time ago, and every week she goes out with Inuyasha so that Sesshomaru can train Kagome alone in the house with no one there to distract her.
"Hello Rin, how was your day with Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asks the girl.
"It was fun, we went to the park and I got to play and run around." Rin replies excitedly with a huge grin on her face.
The other set of footsteps comes up the stairs as Inuyasha comes into the study with a slightly squishy sound every time he steps.
"Inuyasha are you wet?" Sesshomaru asks him.
"Keh." Is the reply, the one he uses when he has nothing else to say.
"Uncle Inuyasha fell into the pond when he lost his balance so now he's all wet." Rin says while giggling.
"So I see."
"What happened to the training room downstairs Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asks him.
"Someone came over this morning and we sparred, I have yet to clean the mess we made."
"Humph, alright. Well I brought Rin back and just wanted to say that I was going to go say hi to Kagome and wondered if you had anything you wanted to tell her."
"Tell her that I say hello as well."
"Alright," he says to Sesshomaru, then to Rin, "see ya next week kid."
"Bye uncle Inuyasha." She says and waves to him as she skips out of the room. "And tell Ms. Kagome that I say hi too."
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stand in silence for a minute until Inuyasha turns and leaves.
;At Genkai's shrine;
Kagome rides up to the shrine with Kage and Shippo sitting in front of her on the motorcycle. She gets off and walks the motorcycle to the back of the shrine and props it against a tree.
"Time to go in and eat and maybe see if we still have visitors."
Kage growls and Kagome chuckles.
"Well, I can't very well kick them out Kage. It's not my shrine."
She bends down to pet him and he bumps her hand and purrs.
Kagome moves to go into the shrine but Shippo stops her with a tug on her pants.
"Momma, your shirt is ripped." He says pointing up to a small rip along the front of her shirt right above the hem.
"Damn, oh well that can be easily fixed."
A small blue light begins to glow around the rip as Kagome's eyes change colors to become slightly lighter. The rip repairs instantly, the blue light vanishes, and her eyes change back to their normal dark blue.
"That's better, time to go inside." She says smiling.
She walks in to see no one in the shrine.
"That's odd, hmmm... oh well, now I don't have to be bothered by anyone now."
She hums and walks up to her room. Taking off her gloves, boots, and socks she flops on the bed.
"Can't rest yet, I still have things to do."
#Sigh#
She turns on her radio and turns the music up loud and sets to work getting out her fighting kimono and sets to work repairing it.
"Never know when this might come in handy again."
Well there goes another chapter, finished and hopefully if you're reading this author thingy then you read the chapter. #Smile#
I was unsure of how to incorporate Rin into the story, but I wanted to so there she is. She's just too cute I had to put her in there.
Another non-pairing will be posted on the next chapter. Please be patient and wait for the next chapter to read it. I will update my other stories as soon as possible. Hopefully sometime between now and next weekend since I won't be home this weekend coming up. But never fear, I will do it...eventually. I really never mean to have such big gaps between the postings of my chapters so I need to work on that.
Please review, I mean it would be a shame to see such a lovely or handsome reader as yourself leave without leaving any trace behind.
Hmmm...okay maybe flattery doesn't work that well in a non face-to-face conversation, but I tried.
Please do review the chapter though.
Thank you! #Hugs#
Until next time, farewell glorious readers.
