Chapter 3: Rude Encounter
They waked in silence for a couple of hours. Sesshoumaru held his head up high while Kagome looked at the forest floor behind Sesshoumaru.
/Kagome's POV/
I can't believe I had a tantrum in front of Sesshoumaru. It's Sesshoumaru! The guy who like "I'm going to bit your head off if you lay a finger on I, Sesshoumaru" or "you are blessed to be in my presence". That egoist, arrogant, girly tyrant and what the heck is that fluffy thing on her shoulder.
/Normal POV/
Kagome walked a little faster to catch up with Sesshoumaru She stretch out her arm and thread her fingers in his tail.
Sesshoumaru was surprised and amused with her actions. Kagome was lost in her own little world as she felt up Sesshoumaru's tail.
'So warm, cuddly and fluffy' Kagome thought and giggle.
Sesshoumaru heard her giggled as her fingers went though his tail.
'How dare this human touch this Sesshoumaru's tail!' Sesshoumaru thought.
He tried to growl to warn her, but unfortunately it came out as a purr. Kagome, again, giggled as she heard Sesshoumaru purr.
He suddenly stopped walking making Kagome walk into his back forcing her to bury her face in his tail. She turned around making Kagome fall because she was still feeling up his tail. Kagome feel face-first into waiting arm (only one arm).
Under the light of the stars and moon they stood well Sesshoumaru stood. Kagome was leaned over his arm with her hair covering her face. After a couple of seconds When Kagome was about to get back on her feet, he dropped her.
"Hey! Why did you do that?" Kagome yelled staring up furiously at the inu youkai.
"Why did you touch my tail?" Sesshoumaru said in his monotone staring down at her. He watched all of the emotions clashing in her eyes, fury, detest and ...hurt?
'Tail? TAIL?!? I touched his tail?!' Kagome thought. "I uhh... I mmm...pause what it to you." She snorted looking at the ground trying to cover her blush.
'Is she blushing? From what? Humans and their emotions.' Sesshoumaru thought. "Incompetent human. Rest. We will be leaving in two hours." Then he left who a glance back.
"Incompetent human." She mimicked. She got up and went to her bag to get supplies to bathe.
As soon as Kagome reached the hot spring she put up a simple barrier that alerts her of a presence. She learned it just because of Miroku. Then it hit her, Sango, Miroku and Shippo. 'I'll miss them, I'm not even sure I'm gonna go back' Kagome thought sadly.
Sesshoumaru was in the distance thinking about the night. He was memorized her actions and the lyrics of the song. He hasn't experienced heartbreak but if he does he will never show it but she puts it out as a show. He never expected her to cry, or shout, or be depress, in fact he doesn't even know the emotions of heartbroken. Sesshoumaru never thought about these things. His mind was usually set on business, he never shows much emotions. This is the way he is, cold, heartless, arrogant lord of the west, the qualities in a first-class lord.
After Kagome was done, she went back to the clearing and went to sleep. As promise Sesshoumaru woke up Kagome after two hours.
"Wake up." He ordered.
"Me sleep more...stupid school...SIT." She mumbled as she rolled over.
Sesshoumaru just quirked an eyebrow at her phrase and again try to wake the sleeping miko.
"Wake up now." He commanded in a more firm tone.
"Ok, fine, what crawled up your ass and died." She muttered under her breath unfortunately he heard what she said.
"Apparently you have. Now get up."
"Yes, master." She mocked.
"I rather like that title."
The miko did as she was told and woke up. It was late morning when they started to wake. After hours and hours of walking, Kagome, becoming very irritated with the eerie silence, decided to hum a song.
Sesshoumaru listen to the simple humming. The beginning was soft and had a simple moldy but it suddenly got louder then softer. The humming went faster, too fast to be the beat, he then notice she was humming the words. The song seemed sad and angry. Sesshoumaru was curious to know the words.
Kagome was humming numb by Linkin Park. She hummed the piano part, and got louder when the guitars came in. Then she softly hummed though out most of the song but in the end she hummed slightly harsher and louder. Then she went back to the piano and ended the song slowly.
By the time Kagome was done they reached the castle. It was the late afternoon when they arrived. Two large youkai stood in front of a huge metal gate, they were holding massive weapons that must weigh a ton.
The guards opened the gates and stood a side bowing.
"Welcome back, my lord." They said in perfect unison.
Kagome turn her attention to the back of Sesshoumaru's head.
'Wow. I never really thought about this before but he's a well respected Taiyoukai lord. And I treated him like a semi-friend; I still think he's a cold, heartless, arrogant-'
Kagome thinking was interrupted when they walked in the entrance of the castle. It was huge!
The walls were covered with painted on breath-taking work of art. The room had three doors, one that goes straight, another one that goes left, and last one leads to the right.
"Take her to the guest room in the North end." Sesshoumaru commanded the servant that is bowing on the ground. Then he disappeared through the left door.
"Huh?" Kagome mumbled as she looked at the spot where the lord stood.
"Follow me, milady." The maid said as she stood up and walked in the trails of Sesshoumaru.
They walked in silence. The halls a beautiful shade of golden, there were occasionally flowers on tables on the side of the halls and some paintings pinned against the walls. It was lit up with fire lamps on the walls providing a soft glow of orange.
The servant stopped at a large baby blue door. She stood a side and bowed. Kagome hesitantly opened the door and went inside.
"Thank you." Kagome said as she slightly bowed and closed the door.
It was a simple room that left Kagome standing like an idiot. Walls were the same colour as the door, a huge futon lay against the middle of the wall. In front of the futon was a large carpet before a roaring fire. On the adjacent wall was a large window door that led to the balcony that gave an amazing view of the royal garden.
Kagome wanted to explore the garden but didn't want to get a servant to escort her plus she didn't want a youkai staring at her making her feel more self-conscious than she already was. So she simply climbed down to the garden.
She looked around the garden. There was a small flowing river with a waterfall and a bridge. There were Japanese trees surrounded with colour coordinated flowers near the river.
The curious miko walked on the bridge. She stopped and looked at her reflection.
She hummed a simple tune the same tune she hummed this afternoon. Then she began to sing softly and sorrowfully.
(A/N: This song was altered a bit. Just keep in mind there is one singer so I took out Mike (caught in the undertone). In the end Chester (main singer) sings the chorus 2x, but he layers it. He singers a different part in each chorus, Kagome alternates in each chorus singing a different part. You gotta listen to the song to know what I mean.)
Bolded words mean that Kagome didn't sing it because of the layering, but it's there in the original song.
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
She put her soul into the chorus and sang roughly.
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
She shouted the next part as if she was yelling at Inuyasha. In the water she pictured Inuyasha kissing Kikyou.
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
A tear fell down her face and hit the water, distorting the haunting picture. Then and there she told herself to move on. The ripples of the water settle showing a new Kagome, a smiling Kagome.
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Numb-Linkin Park
The lonely girl folded her arms in her sleeves and placed them on the wooden railing of the bridge.
In the shadows a youkai listened. Her guard was down. The youkai silently stalk towards the unsuspecting miko. He unsheathed his sword and held in at the back of her neck.
Kagome felt the cold metal touch her skin. She knew the youkai was there, but didn't think her would attack her. She was, after all, a guest. She was sadly mistaken.
"Turn around." He commanded in rich filled base tone.
The unfazed miko did as he commanded. She stood straight, with her hands still folded in her sleeves, and slowly turned around to face the youkai who dare to challenge her.
She took in his appearance. He stood at six feet and ten inches with the same body structure as Sesshoumaru. She couldn't figure out what kind of youkai he was. He had navy blue hair that was spiked and his eyes were a light, warming green. He had a small thin line scar that trace along his jaw line on his left-side of his face. His ears where pointy and his claws were sharp and long. He had white sharp fangs hidden behind his small mouth. The youkai wore the same kind of clothing as Sesshoumaru expect it was black and there was a very detailed dragon trailing up his left sleeve.
"State your business here, intruder." He ordered.
"Do you treat all of your lord's guests like this?" She mocked.
"A human as a guest here? Liar." He glared at her seeing if she was lying. His senses told him she wasn't.
"Well, it is true. If you have a problem with it then I suggest you find someone who gives a rat's ass." Kagome responded smiling talking as if she was informing a child.
Then the miko reached in her left sleeve with her right hand, she pulled out a knife sideways. Kagome push the button on the back of the knife so that the blade popped out, she charged it with her miko powers allowing it slice through anything. She cut the offending sword and climbed to her room putting up a barrier to block his sight and scent.
The youkai stood there absorbing what happened, deciding that he should inform Lord Sesshoumaru in the morning.
Kagome was shifted to hide form the unwelcome sunlight seeping through the close curtains.
"Lady Kagome, you must wake up. My lord had requested your presence at breakfast." The maid said opening the curtains.
"Okay...fine...whatever." Kagome mumbled as she continued to sleep.
The servant looked at Kagome regretfully as she did as the lord ordered.
Kagome was brought out of her dream world when the cold water hit her face.
"What the hell!" Kagome cursed loudly as she bolted up of bed.
In the west wing Sesshoumaru smirked and mentally chuckled when he heard Kagome's cursing.
"I am sorry Milady, Lord Sesshoumaru ordered me to result in throwing water on you if you do not wake at first warning." The servant apologized.
"Sesshoumaru." Kagome growled.
"It's alright; it's not your fault." The sleepy miko said to the nervous servant.
The maid signed in relief. "You are required to be downstairs in the dinning room in one hour." The servant informed as she left the room.
"One hour! It takes me ten minutes to get ready!" Kagome mumbled as she went to freshen up.
The freshened miko stepped out of her room with thirty minutes to spare. She wore a baggy baby blue sweatshirt with a black tank-top underneath. She had black loose sweatpants and a pair of white running shoes. She put her hair in a pony tail and walked very slow to the dinning room.
When she arrived, ten minutes early, in the dinning room, it was empty. There were two places set up on the long table enough to fit a good twenty. Kagome sat down at one of the cushion and waited.
The large wooden doors opened. Kagome stood up to show her respects but stopped when she looked at the figure at the door.
"YOU!" Both yelled at the same time.
Then both attacked each other. Kagome held the side of the blade at his neck and he and his razor sharp claws around her throat. Both were at the mercy of each other, they stood still for five minutes.
"Miko, do not attack your soon-to-be guard." An emotionless voice said behind them.
Kagome took advantage of her opponent's distraction and slit the top layer of his skin of his throat. She did a back flip and did a slight bowed to Sesshoumaru.
The surprised youkai bow low to his lord then straightened.
"My guard! I don't need a guard." Kagome complained.
"Do not question my authority." Sesshoumaru said putting Kagome back in her place.
"Why are you here, Sosuke?" Sesshoumaru questioned.
"I was coming to inform you of an intruder, who is standing in front of you." Sosuke informed.
