Chapter #4:
DISASTER STRUCKS!
A moment before, Kagome had awakened with the same strange feeling that Sango felt when she woke up. The girl stood up and started to walk, scared, looking for someone, without knowing that Inu-Yasha actually laid in the opposite direction of hers, thanks to Naraku (A/N: All readers 'BOH' Naraku). Kagome just kept walking, and walking, and so, and…
WHAAAAAAMM
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!."
She barely saw that one coming.
It seem like the more time she spent with Inu-Yasha, the more skilled her reflects became, and she was doing very well at dodging surprise attacks like this one…
But, truth needs to be told, her landings weren't improving.
"YOU!." Yelled our favorite time traveler when she saw her attacker: Jaken was staring at her with his round sour eyes.
"What is doing Inu-Yasha's wench alone in these woods? You don't know than may be youkais around?." He taunt in his weird accent. Of course, the remark infuriated Kagome.
"I'M NOT INU-YASHA'S WENCH!." She said at the same time that she kicked Jaken with a log who comes from who knows where. "IT'S THAT CLEAR, YOU TOAD?."
Jaken managed to dodge the furious girl for a couple of times, and also managed to hit Kagome's arms with the Staff of heads. Her wounded forearm, for a change. Kagome started to bleed and with that, she got suddenly pretty scared and ran into the forest like a haunted soul… screaming for Inu-Yasha's help, of course.
?WHACK!
In moments like these, Sango felt happy and blessed that far away day when she decided to build Hiraikotsu for the first time. Now, she was a confused and angry Taiji-Ya, she was breathing hard, and her body had assumed a fight stance. She glared at Inu-Yasha, who was currently under a tree, cursing under breath.
"WHAT DID YOU SAID!." Shouted the huntress, feeling how her blood boiled in rage.
"That I didn't notice how much beautiful you are before!." Answered Inu-Yasha, acting very OUT of character. "You have never been told about it? You're beautiful… I love you… Yes, I love you!."
TWICHT, WHACK
"I Can't Believe What You Are Saying! Who Do You Think You Are? What About Kagome, you mutt?. OK. Where Is INU-YASHA, And What Have You Done To Him?." Asked an angry Sango. Inu-Yasha jumped in front of her. "HEY!."
"Kagome? That noisy filly? She means nothing to me!." He said, grabbing Sango's hand sweetly. "This is me, Inu-Yasha, your slave: since now on, my world is circling around you!."
TWICHT
"Oh no, NO, NO AND NO!." Said Sango, confused, giving him a good push. "I'll ask again: Who Are You, WHERE is Inu-Yasha? AND What Have You Done To HIM?" She stressed.
"It's me, my darling!." Insisted Inu-Yasha, acting WAY OUT of character. "Nothing bad had happened to me, except that I realized that I L…"
SLAP!
"Come BACK to your senses!"
Before Inu-Yasha could finish the idiocy he was about to said, Sango gave him one of the best slaps that she ever gave in her life. She wasn't going to allow him to say those words, they were meant to Kagome, not her, and she was going to make sure of that.
"Get Back To Yourself! You Are Speaking Nonsense!." To her BIG surprise, Inu-Yasha threw himself at her feet… crying?.
"I offended you!… I'll be miserable for the rest of my puny life! Please, Forgive Me! I BEG You!."
The situation was a scary thing. Sango backed off and before she could notice, she was running as fast as her feet allowed. It was a very strange situation: first, she got lost, second, she fell asleep, now, Inu-Yasha was saying that he loved her and stuff like that?. Then what?…
Speaking of the DOG.
"You GOT to believe me, My Dear Sango!." Exclaimed the Hanyou, very stressed. "I was a fool! A Jerk! But now I notice that my heart belongs to you!" Sango froze at his words.
"What about Kikyou?." She tested.
"She means nothing for me :spit: I spit on her grave!"
"AND KAGOME!." Insisted the Taiji-Ya.
"She? She's noting like you, You are far more bea…!"
SLAP!
Sango resumed her race. Things were getting weirder. Suddenly, she spotted him, she spotted her favorite and currently unaware Houshi, wandering not too much far from her. Hoping, she called him and ran in his direction: if someone could keep the head cold in situations like these, and tell if Inu-Yasha was under a spell while at it, that was Miroku for sure. She stopped when she reached his side, and catching her breath, she said.
"Something is wrong with Inu-Yasha, Houshi-sama. He's speaking nonsense and he's scaring me!." She explained as she raised her head.
She got this bad feeling when she saw Miroku staring at her eyes, with this hazy look pasted on him, the same hazy look that Inu-Yasha gave her when he woke up. Miroku grabbed her hands lovingly, in such a special way that her heart speeded up and almost got a nosebleed.
"Sango, koi! Something troubles you?"
"Eh? 'Koi'? What happened with the 'sama'?."
"You are close to my heart that way, as you has always been." Said Miroku in a very seductive way. Too much seductive. Sango snapped her hands back, her heart racing 1000 miles per hour: Miroku was acting weird too… but for some reason, that didn't disgust her much.
Still…
"Are you all right, Houshi-sama?." She asked worried.
"Better now that I had the privilege to see you." Sango touched his forehead, checking for fever. Of course, she found nothing. "Tell me, what troubles you, my koi?" Asked Miroku, holding her hands again.
"HEY YOU!." A perfect Kodak moment was ruined. "TAKE YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF HER!.". Barked Inu-Yasha as he jumped between them from who knows where. At this point, Sango was REALLY confused.
"Sango-koi! Is he bothering you?." Asked Miroku as he pushed Sango behind him. "You came to me asking for my help? Worry not, I'll protect you!"
"My beautiful Sango! My Life! Had this HENTAI done something to you! Tell Me: You can Trust ME!"
"Me? Do something bad to Sango-koi? Are You INSANE? Have You GONE mad? I Could Never Do Something That She Doesn't Agree! NEVER!"
"Says Who? A Pervert Monk: Sango deserve something better than YOU!"
"Yeah! You are That Something Better?"
"GRRR! SANGO! Had This Jerk Done Something To You? Because if he…!." Inu-Yasha stopped at the middle of his sentence. No Sango on sight. "LOOK WHAT YOU JUST DONE, YOU ASSHOLE! YOU SCARED HER AWAY!"
"YOU SCARED HER AWAY: If Something Happen to Sango, YOU And Only YOU Will Be The Cause, DO YOU HEAR ME, BAKA?."
Naraku was laughing so hard that Kanna feared for his air supply, but her master couldn't help it. He was having a great time. This was his first mess of this kind in many years, and the first of the week, and he almost had forgotten how it felt. As a mental note, he suggested himself to do this more often.
Oberon had Puck grabbed by his neck, and he was glaring at him in a deathly way.
"I SAID: NO! MISTAKES." The magic king stressed.
"I didn't… Committed… :chokes: Any… mistake… mi lord!… :pant, pant: I… don't… explain myself… :chokes: what… went… wrong." Said a shaky Puck. Oberon released him and assumed a reflective position.
"What to do? What to do?… What is delaying Titania? She better hurry with that THING!"
Kagome stopped to recover her breath, when she thought that she had missed Jaken, but something inside her head kept telling her that she was wrong about that.
WOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSHHHH!
She ran away, after dodging that attack somehow, in despair, yelling for Inu-Yasha's or someone else's help. Jaken was determined to finish with her life and her legs were giving out. She was exhausted and it came a moment when she couldn't run any more and she collapsed in a clear, praying for her life.
¡WHAAAAAAAAAAAM!
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!."
As her last and desperate resource, Kagome cried her lung out when she saw the HUGE fire rain coming after her. She closed her eyes, praying for Inu-Yasha to rescue her in the last moment…
No fire. Nothing. She felt nothing. Maybe her pray worked, she felt how someone picked her up and protected her from the fire rain. She never felt the fire kissing her skin, or falling harshly into the ground. What she felt was…
Strong arms holding her with an unusual delicacy.
All of this happened in a blink of an eye. And with her eyes still shut, she heard Jaken's gasp. Kagome opened her eyes with caution, and turned blue of panic when she saw her 'rescuer'.
"My… My… My Lord! Sesshomaru-sama!." Muttered Jaken, bowing at the sight of the young prince.
Sesshomaru got close to his retainer, without letting Kagome go, and he gave him a really GOOD scary death glare, so intense, so frightening that it was enough to scare the devil himself. Sesshomaru growled.
"Out." Was the only word he said.
Jaken didn't wait for a second chance: he ran into the forest and disappeared there. Sesshomaru put Kagome on her feet with elegance and stared at her, giving her a hazy look, no matter if she was froze with panic or not.
But she did notice something… the lord in front of her… was looking at her in a weird way.
"T-Th-Tha-Thanks!." She babbled. Sesshomaru caressed her cheek.
"Don't worry, my angel! For you, I'll give my life. You're hurt!"
With wide eyes open, Kagome slapped herself mentally. Had she heard right? This was happening or it was her imagination?. Kagome backed off carefully: this got to be a trick!.
"No… I'm fine… I think. A little bit lost, but fine." She explained. Sesshomaru caressed her cheek again. This gesture didn't help her fear.
"You're safe now. Nothing is going to hurt you, my sweet angel." He said and Kagome backed off another step. "Don't worry, I'll not hurt you."
Kagome took a third step back. Definitely, this WASN'T the Sesshomaru she had grown to know. Maybe this was another trick to gain Tetsusaiga, maybe he was planning to kidnap her. The prince got close to her once again: his eyes, usually neutral, and his face, the best poker face ever, were filled with emotions. This was a trap for sure. Sesshomaru took her by her chin, forcing her to make visual contact… and he leaned down to kiss her.
Now, there was no doubt. THIS WAS A TRAP, It Has To Be A Trap. NO DOUBT.
Maybe she was crazy, or maybe not, but Kagome, gathering all of her courage and her puny human strength (compared to the taiyoukai I mean), pushed the lord away before he could kiss her and ran away… again. Not for too long anyways: Sesshomaru grabbed her by her arm, and she slapped him. The slap didn't even tickle him, but he released her anyway and looked how she ran. Amused.
"She wants to play." He whispered. "Let's play then!." Added with a mischief smile, following her track into the woods.
Sango saw her big chance of running away when Inu-Yasha and Miroku started to fight over her. She needed to get out of there, relax herself so that way she could think the situation with cold mind… but she crashed onto Kagome, which was 'running away' from Sesshomaru. They both stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Sango-Chan! You'll Not Believe What Just Happened To Me!."
"Kagome-Chan! You'll Not Believe What Just Happened To Me!."
Naraku wipe his tears away and put the Shikon No Tama aside. From the folds of his clothing he took incense, he lighted it and forced the smoke into Kanna's mirror, which was showing the happy reunion between Sango and Kagome.
"The incense? The scent…"
"What about the scent of this incense? You'll feel jealous and feel like fighting if you smell the smoke, how is that?… The only bad thing about it, if that the effects wipes out with cold water…"
Titania stared at Oberon with eyes wide open, then she look at the sky, cursing the guy who had caused the mess which she just witnessed… and she still couldn't believe.
"I just knew it!"
"It got out of control… a little." Said Oberon.
"How come, Oberon?. Every single time that you interfere in mortal's business, things like this happens! How Do You Plan To Fix This Mess, Oberon! Tell Me!"
"… Er… I'll fix it, don't worry." Oberon smirked. "You'll see…"
"You don't have the slightness idea, right?."
"... Hmpf... By the way: Did you do that little… business in Italy?."
"Yes. Was hard, but it's done. She's got to be arriving by now… :feels something: More Evil Presence?."
"Our paparazzi had being busy causing this mess to even note how near we're from him! Poor Bastard! I pity him. But he deserves it."
"He's gone get it!." grinned Titania. The fairies after her laughed.
