Inner Love

Chapter Three: Kagome's Decision

~*~*~*~*~

Sessho-maru, now redressed in clean clothes, shifted uncomfortably as he watched his hanyou brother and the Miko, Kagome talk. Their conversation was deeply distraught with uneasiness tied tight between them. It was as though Kagome wasn't telling him everything. But she was getting good word in for him other than the horrible shouting she had done to him when he captured her....

Flash Back

"You bastard! Let me go this instant!" Kagome screamed, pounding on Sessho-maru's back as he lifted her and himself up into the sky on his demon cloud.

"Sessho-maru! Bring Kagome back now!" InuYasha screamed, clutching the transformed Tetsusaiga tightly. "Kagome!!!!!!"

Sessho-maru, barely feeling the pounding on his back, ears ringing from the girl's shouts, simply replied in his cool, smooth, seductive voice, "You shall have to retrieve her. And to do so you will have to kill me first."

"InuYasha! Please! InuYasha!!!" Kagome cried as she departed with Sessho-maru against her will.

End Flash Back

It depressed him, but now, after their three months together, they had grown close, though she refused to change from the tiny kimono [school girl outfit] that she constantly wore. But it also wasn't tight and allowed for some i manly /i peeks.

"Kagome... Please, tell me everything on your mind right now..." InuYasha whispered, his soul being weighted with the possibility... the unthinkable....

"InuYasha...." Kagome's face turned red, "I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING I DO YA KNOW!!! IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" she shrieked, jumping up, smacking him on the head.

InuYasha jumped up as well, a large bump forming comically on the back of his head, "WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING!?"

Sessho-maru's eyebrow twitched slightly as his youkai hearing picked up the sounds loud and clear from his hidden position, which happened to be floating right above them on his demon cloud, casting a dark shadow over them along with a loud whirring wind.

Eyes twitching, InuYasha and Kagome oblivious to the shadow until now, looked up, "SESSHO-MARU!!!???" They both screamed, Kagome's face covering in a light blush at the same time.

The cloud disappeared from under his feet and he floated gracefully down to the ground in front of them both, "Kagome," he bowed gracefully, "InuYasha..." his tone turned bitter.

"What're i you /i doing here...?" InuYasha replied, equally bitter.

"I have come to retrieve Kagome," Sessho-maru replied simply.

"What!? I got her back last time, and you wanna try again!?" InuYasah screamed, clenching his fists in his rage.

"I do not plan on forcing her to come, this time. I invite her."

Kagome gasped, placing delicate fingers to her lips. "I-Invited...?"

"What!? Kagome, are you seriously going to go with him!?"

Miroku and Sango were hiding behind a rock with Shippo and Myoga. They were watching quietly, making sure not to catch the hanyou's ears. They knew InuYasha and Kagome each had feelings for each other, but when Sessho-maru, InuYasha's half-brother than they all hated, stepped into the picture, they could only dream what happened, except it would be a nightmare.

"Kagome," Sessho-maru said, stepping to her and kneeling down, taking her hand in his own, "will you please accompany me to my estate for awhile? I promise that I will return you to this dirty Hanyou's presence if you'd like." He laid a delicate kiss on the top of her hand.

InuYasha clenched his teeth, eyes narrowing, "Sessho-maru, I'm warning you..," he growled, stepping forward.

"No, InuYasha," Kagome said carefully, biting her lower lip. "Sessho- maru, I'll go, but only for a few days. I... need to finish my quest for the Shikon no Kakera... And I need to go back home for exams and be with Miroku and Sango and Shippo... And I need to make sure InuYasha doesn't get himself hurt."

Sessho-maru chuckled. Perhaps she i had /i gotten past her silly love for the hanyou and given up on him.

InuYasha stepped back slightly, hurt, "K-Kagome....?"

Kagome gave InuYasha a sorry smile, "I'll be back, don't worry, InuYasha. Just don't get hurt or anything, kay?"

"Feh," InuYasha turned away, "Fine. Leave."

Kagome bit her lower lip and the demon cloud formed under her and Sessho-maru as they flew away, her eyes filled with apology to the distant- becoming InuYasha.
