Destiny and Fate
Chapter 2: Respect
BlackRozes
I don't own Inuyasha-Hello? Would I be here if I did?
Three days after Kagome left
"Shippou, go gather firewood for the fire. I'm going to set up camp." Kagome set down her bag, drawing out blankets. She wore black jeans and a green sweater over her tank top. She got new clothes, knowing that her school uniform would draw too much attention. 'Besides, these are more comfortable and practical.'
She leaned her bow and arrows against a tree before gathering rocks for the fire. She stood up when the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. 'No! Shippou!' She dropped everything, shouting for Shippou. "Shippou! Where are you? Shippou!" She looked around frantically for Shippou, her nerves shot. She couldn't see him. "Shippou!"
She spun around at a noise and was met with a ball of fur flying into her arms.
"Are you okay!" She asked frantically, hugging him tight to her.
Looking up from where he was clasped against Kagome's chest, he nodded. "Hai, Moma. I'm fine. What's wrong?" Kagome shook her head, turning back to the campfire. "Nothings wrong, Ship-" She was cut off when she crashed into something hard but fluffy. The only thing that registered in her mind was 'Fluffy!' before she was slammed into a tree.
"Umph!" She was held against the tree by a hand around her neck. Her eyes trailed up the arm to the face of the person. "Sesshoumaru! Let go!"
The hand only tightened around her throat. "You will be more respectful when speaking to this Sesshoumaru." His reply was a series of muffled gurgles and clawing at his hand. Her scent spiked when her eyes left his. Shippou, forgotten until now, jumped onto Sesshoumaru's arm and started bit his hand, hard. Sesshoumaru's response was a flick of his hand, and Shippou crashed into a tree.
Kagome's scent spiked again and when he turned to meet her eyes, they were wide with fear. 'She should fear me. Insolent wench.' Her scent spiked again and her eyes left his to look at the kit. "Do not worry, he will follow you shortly." Her eyes, though not looking at him, widened in fear. "Scared, Miko? You should be. No one disrespects me and lives." Sesshoumaru's eyes glinted in the fading light, anticipating the kill.
He was surprised when her gaze shot back to him, and filled with anger and fear, glared at him. He was caught unawares when her foot shot out and kicked him in the stomach, knocking him back and causing him to lose his grip on her neck. The first words out of her mouth were that of warning. "Shippou, run! Run!"
Sesshoumaru's head spun to see the kit struggling up, shaking his head. Kagome's scent spiked again when his gaze found the kit. 'So she is scared for this kits' safety. Why is she afraid for the kit? He is youkai. Who is this miko?'
Shippou, against his mother's better judgment, ran towards her, jumping into her arms. Kagome, with Shippou hugged to her chest, backed away, into the tree when Sesshoumaru's gaze swung to her. "Inuyasha isn't here, Sesshoumaru." She stated when she backed herself into a tree.
Sesshoumaru was surprised, although his face remained cold. 'Inuyasha? She is the miko that travels with my half brother? Then where is Inuyasha?'
"You just backed yourself into a corner, miko."
She just smirked as Shippou growled. Sesshoumaru hadn't even blinked before she had her bow and an arrow cocked and aimed. "That's what you think, Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru's surprise was short lived as he grew angry. "What did I warn you about respect, miko?" He growled. He charged at her, his claws raised and glowing. He dodged an arrow, smirking. 'Good, but not good enough.' He was surprised though, as an arrow sunk into his side when he twisted to dodge the other one. Excruciating pain brought him to his knees. 'My whole body is burning!' Suddenly, the pain stopped, and he painfully rose to his feet. His face did not display his surprise as he realized that the miko held the arrow that wounded him.
"I give respect to those deserving. You should get that seen to, Sesshoumaru…sama." She backed away slowly, her face perfectly calm as she held the kitsune tightly to her.
Sesshoumaru slowly turned around. "This Sesshoumaru's lands are dangerous. Tread carefully, miko." He disappeared into the forest.
"Kagome." She stated. She turned back to the campfire. "Shippou, Ramen sound good?" Shippou's reply was the vigorous nodding of his head. "I'm so hungry I could eat Sesshoumaru!" Giggling, Kagome shook her head. "I think it would be bad for your health. Cold meat isn't very healthy."
Sesshoumaru heard her name on the wind and shook his head. 'Kagome…Interesting. She is very brave.'
Destiny shook her head as she watched the scene. 'This wasn't supposed to happen. Where's Inuyasha?' Fate walked in, her eyes dancing.
'Destiny! Guess what? Choice just told me that Inuyasha is the reincarnation of Adonis!'
Destiny looked up at fate with wide eyes. "Wow! Adonis! And the person he hates most is now his half brother! Can this be any more fun?"
'So how did it go?'
"Things didn't go as I wanted today. Sere met up with Sesshoumaru."
'Its Kagome now, not Serenity.'
Destiny shrugs. "But it's sad, isn't it? The twisted love triangle…Well, at least this time, she can be with Adonis!"
Fate shook her head, thinking to herself. 'But that's not the way its going to end, is it?'
BR: Well! This is getting tedious and boring, huh?
Kagome: I don't think so. I liked this scene.
Sesshoumaru: Not me. She would have bruises there, would she not? And I think you portrayed me wrong. I would never hurt her.
BR: I remember differently. See, on the night of September 2, 2004 at 11:32 I can swear I heard a distinct scream of pain coming from Kagome's quarters, sounding something like your name, Sesshoumaru.
Kagome blushes bright red
Sesshoumaru: Read and Review!
Sesshoumaru runs off with Kagome in his arms
Inuyasha: Actually it was more of a 11:33.
BR: Were you stalking them? Your room was two floors down and at the end of the farthest wing!
Inuyasha: Err. Em…Gotta go!
BR: Bye!
