"Sesshomaru...I..um...I don't know what to say." she choked out.
"You can begin by telling me the truth, Miko."
Just when Kagome was about to open her mouth, Koga called for her help in making Ramen soup. She was so happy for the excuse to leave his his question unanswered. She did know, however, that he would probably face her with it again.
"Kagome, I just can't seem to get this stupid thing to work!" said Koga, pointing to her kettle.
"You have to heat the water in it first, Koga." she said with a small giggle.
"I should have asked you earlier, love." said Koga with a grin.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Love? C'mon Koga! I'm not your love!" she yelled.
"But you will soon be, Kagome." he said smoothly.
"We'll have to see..." she trailed off. "Now that you seem to understand how kettles work, I think I'll leave you to it." she said shakily.
She quickly turned around and bumped into InuYasha.
"What's going on? Is this a punishment for something?" she thought to herself.
"Kagome, I have to tell you something. I..." he was cut short by the loud sound of flapping wings beating the air.
"Flying monkeys!" yelled Shippo.
"Flying whats?" said Koga, confused.
"Monkeys! Monkeys that look like their not happy about something!" screamed Shippo.
Miroku stepped foreward and unstrapped his arm. "Windtunnel!" he shouted.
About half the amount was sucked away before Miroku caught sight of Naraku's poison insects.
"What the hell are they doing here?" yelled InuYasha,wipping out Tetsusaiga.
"Who gives a damn, Mutt? Just kill em'!" yelled Koga, punching one the the bugs to pieces.
InuYasha then went bounding into the air, doing his Iron Reaver technique and destroying the remaining foes.
"How disappointing. I thought those apes would put up a more interesting fight than that." said a voice from behind them.
"Naraku! What the hell do you think your doing here? How did you get here?" asked InuYasha.
"Calm yourself, dog. You'll develope brain problems if you keep trying to figure multiple things out at once." mocked Naraku.
Koga burst into laughter at that comment.
"Do not let yourself believe that you are much different, Wolf. I followed you after all." said Naraku, refusing to take sides.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Did you come here to fight or what?" yelled InuYasha.
"You will die here, InuYasha. Be assured. Just not yet." he said, disappearing into the shadows.
"Damn him to hell!" yelled Koga.
"Shut up you stupid wolf idiot!" yelled InuYasha. "It's you fault he got here in the first place!"
Koga looked at the ground, feeling to blame.
"Kagome walked over to him. "It's not you fault. He's just upset." she whispered.
After the group had walked for about thirty more minutes, they decided to see if they could find some water to stock up on.
All set out except for Sesshomaru and Kagome.
"Miko..." he said sternly.
"Um...yeah?" she looked up at him.
"You love Koga, do you not?" he asked.
"Why would you say that?" she asked nervously.
"You kissed him." he said coldly.
"Oh..that. That doesn't mean anything at all!" she reassured him.
"Nothing at all? It means nothing?" he asked.
"Yeah. It's nothing." she saif quietly.
"In that case..." he bent foreward and captured her lips in a kiss.
"What is he doing?" she thought, trying not to enjoy her kiss with him, bit to no avail. She closed her eyes and kissed him back gently. Does she actually love him too?
Sesshomaru was first to pull away. "Miko...Did that mean nothing as well?" he asked her.
"That was very different. Were you serious about what you just did?" she asked him.
"If I wasn't, I would not have done so. Now tell me, do you feel for me?" he asked her.
"I can't really tell who I love anymore. You, InuYasha, or Koga. Your all equal to me." she said sadly.
"Then I shall eliminate the competition. Then that should ease your choice." he said roughly.
Sesshomaru returned to his tree, deep in thought. "What did I just do? Sesshoamru, lord of the western lands, kiss a human Miko? This is not right. I must resist my desire for her next time."
Kagome was equally in thought about the kiss. "I kissed Koga..but that didn't really count as a kiss. I have never kissed InuYasha...well not yet anyway. IAnd I just kissed his brother! What am I doing? I pulling myself into a love triangle! I need Mom's advice on this one. But this tome, I can't run to her, I need to settle this myself.
At that moment, Rin approached her silently. "You love My Lord don't you?" she asked with an adorable face.
"I'm not sure, Rin. I don't know whats going on anymore." Kagome sighed.
"I hope you pick Lord Sesshoamru. Then I would have a Mommy 'and' a Daddy!" she squealed.
"Would life as Sesshomaru's mate be truly that bad? I have to think about it. Would I be happier with him than If I was with InuYasha or Koga? Mommy help me!" she thought, her head ready to ecplode with thought.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Any mind changing on who you want her to be with? Review and give some Ideas. I'm leaning towards Sesshy and Kagome
myself. But you guys decide.
THANKS: Thanks to Sesshygirl's and Mai's reviews, I am motivated to write some more chappies! Hooray! No writers block so far.
