I entered Rin's room again. "Kagome-chan!" She called. "Hi Rin-chan,
would you like to take a bath with me?" I asked her. Holding out my hand.
"She took and said, "Yes!" she had a huge grin decorating her face. I
smiled, "You're going to have to show me where one is though, ok Rin-chan?"
I asked, she nodded, "We would use the one next to my room but it's not
working, we'll go use the other one!" She said pulling me along. I fallowed
her. We went through many halls but finally found one. I filled it up with
water and helped Rin get undressed. "Wait for a minute ok Rin-chan?" I
said. I put my bubble bath in as a surprise for her. She gasped in delight
and looked at me, I nodded ad she got in. I took off my own clothes and got
in.
About 30 minutes later we got out, I had washed her hair, which she had loved and we had talked for a while. We had decided that as soon as we got out, we would do each other's hair. I giggled as I dried off in the towel I had brought for us. I wrapped up my hair and Rin's she put on her robe and I had put on mine as well. I took her hand and fallowed her back to her room. Once we had gotten there, we sat down in chairs and I brushed out Rin's hair. There was a knock on the door fallowed by Sesshomaru entering. Once he saw us he froze for a minute and stared at me. I looked at him strangely his eyes weren't on my face or Rin's.
I fallowed his eyes to where my robe was open revealing a lot more of my chest then what I had liked it too. I blushed to the color of a tomato and closed it. He saw this and cleared his throat, avoiding eye contact with me. "Rin, as soon as you are finished, you should go to bed." Sesshomaru spoke. She nodded and smiled, she then looked at me then back to Sesshomaru, "Why is Kagome-chan blushing?" Rin asked in the so-innocent 7- year-old way. "N-n-nothing Rin. I'm just. warm!" I said laughing nervously trying to cover up the true reason. Sesshomaru looked at me, I could feel his gaze on my back, I could almost feel a smirk, but I knew that couldn't be it. could it? I finished brushing Rin's hair and with her yawn, I promised she could play with my hair tomorrow. I turned out the lights and I was right about to walk out the door, "Kagome-chan?" Rin called in a small voice, "Yes?" "I'm afraid of the dark! Please don't leave me alone!" "Oh Rin, it's ok. I know!" I held out my hand 'Powers, if you are truly inside of my body, please, beckon to my call!' with that, a silver ball appeared in the center of my hand, warm to the touch. I sat it down on Rin's dresser.
"Thank you. Good night Kagome-chan." "Good night Rin. sleep tight." I said, I closed to door behind me, and started walking down the hall. I gasped; a clawed hand pulled me into a room. I turned my head around to see Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru-sama?" I asked. "We are setting out tomorrow. If you need anything, you should go get it form your village. How far is it?" He asked me. "About. Three days of walking for me." I answered. "Ok. I will take you then. I blinked and looked at him, "How?" I asked. "Come." He commanded. I did as he said, he led me outside, with a flick of his hand, there was a green transparent cloud under him, sparkling with magic. I stood in awe for a minute until he gestured for me to come on.
I was nervous, but I sat foot on the cloud. He grabbed my arm; it flew up, "Which direction?" He asked, "East." And so, it flew east. It was going faster then what I could imagine, I didn't see how he could keep so strong and steady, if it wasn't for his grip on my arm, I would have flown off long before now.
In about thirty minutes, we were at the well. "Stop." I said. "Why? There is nothing there except a well. "Well. about that. Just land this and I'll explain." I said. He turned around and looked at me angrily. "I demand respect wench. Either give it to me or not live." He threatened. I looked at him, "I'm not afraid of death Sesshomaru-sama." I responded flatly. He turned away. I sighed, "Fallow me please." He did a I had complied. I lead him to the well. I stopped and turned around. "Down this well, is a passage through time it self. I'm not from this time Sesshomaru-sama, which explains why I know so very little about this culture. My era is opposite of this one in almost every way." I said. I swung my legs over the edge and jumped in. In the blue magic I heard a calling behind me, "Kagome? What is this?" I looked behind me to see Sesshomaru, in a defensive stance. I reached my hand behind me, and he took it. "Don't worry!" I said. We finished the journey and landed on the other side of the well.
He looked around and sneezed, once, twice, three times and a fourth! "Are you ok Sesshomaru-sama?" I asked him. "To. many... scents. and. smells." He coughed. He grabbed my shoulders and dug his nose into my shoulder. Breathing into it. "What are you doing?" I asked him. "I can't breathe all of these stenches of humans at once. One humen stench is ok, but too many is horrible. What have your people done to the world?" He asked, his voice slightly muffled by the fabric. "I'm wondering the same thing." I said. We climbed out of the well and into my house. I grabbed some water, shampoo, hair stuff, books for Rin and some candy as well.
I sighed, I felt tears in the corner of my eyes, begging to be released. I tried to blink them away, but the kept coming. Sesshomaru was waiting downstairs. I decided to let them flow freely. I sniffed and finished packing. "Kagome?" I heard Sesshomaru call, he entered my room, and in his eyes, I saw the one ting I thought I'd never see, concern.
~~~Sesshomaru~~~
I was sitting in a room, full of foreighn objects. Such as a black glass and some other sort of material box. And these little disks with holes in the center, one side was prismatic while the other varied in color and had different names and things on them. I was content sitting there and thinking until I heard a faint sob and smelled the scent of tears it hurt. 'Why does this hurt me?' I thought. I descided to go find Kagome, maybe she could tell me. I fallowed her scent, which eventually twisted and was tinted with sadness and tears. I was lead outside of a room, I opened it slowly and looked in. Kagome was there sitting on the floor, her head on the bed with her arms surrounding it. "Kagome?" I called quietly.
She looked at me, her eyes red form tears, her ivory skin, stained with tear marks. Her gray-blue orbs reflected her soul and heart, and they showed sadness and pain. "What's wrong with you?" I asked her. She slowly stood up she flung her arms around me. I was shocked, I felt myself panic, but I knew she only did this for confort. I sighed and put my arm around her, pulling her closer. "I don't want to love him anymore Sesshomaru-sama. I don't want to cry any more tears for him!" She sobbed into my Kimono. I ignored the wetness. I felt her touch the stub where my arm used to be, it got warm, warmer and almost burned and then restored. I then quickly wrapped that arm around her as well. "What did he do to you?" I asked, finding my self now curious. "I. he didn't do anything. I was a fool for thinking he could ever love me. He's still in love with her. She'll always be better then me. I guess he was right, I'm just a stupid good for nothing wench." She said bitterly.
I was shocked. I knew well whom she was talking about, she was talking about the dead miko, Kikyou I think her name was? "Come now. Since when do you listen to the hanyou? Why start now? You can do better Kagome. He's not worth your time." I said. Every word I meant as well. She stopped and looked at me, she searched my eyes and smiled. "Thank you." She said. "Now, tell me what happened and we'll head back." I said. 'Why am I being nice to her? How has she gotten through my barriers so fast?' I looked at her, waiting for her to begin, 'that's right, she so sweet and innocent, you can't hate her.' My inner voice called. I was about to argue with it when she started. "Well, a few nights ago, I came back to the past a day early, I was going to tell Inu Yasha that I loved him.
I looked for him all day but never found him. Finally at night, I found him he was talking with Kikyou. They both admitted their love for each other, and Inu Yasha explained how he didn't love me, at all. I am. no was, just a shard detector for him. Nothing more. I should have known but I didn't so, I got hurt for it." She explained. "Don't you want your vengeance on him now?" I asked her; she looked at me, almost shocked, "Of course not. I. I just want him to be happy. and that just ain't with me." She said. My respect for her at that moment doubled. She was more mature and wise then she let on. I pulled her up. "Let's go now Kagome." I called. "Yes." She said and led the way.
We crossed to the other side at about an hour after dawn. "Kagome?" I heard a masculine voice call. We both turned our heads. "Inu Yasha!" Kagome gasped. "There you are bitch!" He cried angrily. She took a step back. I stepped in front of her. "Don't address a lady of higher status then your self as so little brother." I advised. "Since when do you care about Kagome? Feh, get over here bitch! We have Kikyou on our side now, so it'll be twice as easy to find shards!" He called approaching us. "Kagome?" A small child's voice cried. "Shippo-Chan! Come here!" She said, spreading her arms open for the kitsune who came plying into her arms.
"Get back here runt!" Inu Yasha called. "Shut up Inu Yasha! He's coming with me and I'm not going back to you! I've cried enough over you! Osuwari, Osuwari and Osuwari!" Kagome said, turning on her heel and walking off. "She's a feisty one little brother, to bad you didn't get her. You got a fucking dead, two-timing miko on your hands now." I smirked; I loved how he was face first into the gorund. I fallowed Kagome. "Can Shippo-chan travel with us Sesshomaru-sama? Please, he would make an excellent play mate for Rin-chan!" She begged me. "All right, he may stay." I sighed. "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama!" She cried, pulling Shippo into an embrace.
We got back at the castle a few hours before midday, much to my relief. Kagome was without a doubt, one of a kind. She gathered all of her stuff together, packed for Rin and was ready to set off my midday, without her, we would have not been ready till almost dusk. It was silent at first, until the kids started playing tag and the area was filled with the laughter. Kagome's cat Rei was also playing with them as well. When dusk fell, Rin had gotten frightened as well as Shippo and then walked with Kagome. I stopped when I heard a near by noise. "Stop." I commanded, Kagome did. Shippo was on her shoulder and Rin was in her arms, her legs wrapped around Kagome's small waist. I heard it again. It was a demon. "Kagome, do sense any fragments?" I asked her. Her eyes blank for a minute and she then answered, "No."
It was moving towards them! I ran over and pushed them out of the way as the demon revealed it's self, a monkey demon, brown in color and three eyes. It screeches and head towards Kagome, who was running away from the, insuring their safety. I watched as it hit her in her side, she screamed in pain, her blood flowing freely out of her body, she turned towards it and hit it with her miko powers. It flew back, soaked in blood. "Damn Miko! Give me the shikon shards!" It called. Launching it at her again. "Sesshomaru! Get the children and yourself out of here now!" She commanded. I nodded, ran over to the children and picked them up and continued in one fluid motion. I found a cave and placed Jaken and the children and ran back to her. She was doing well. She had down, he was bleed severely, but then, so was she.
I got in-between them and sliced him in half with Tokijin. I smiled, that had worked well. "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama, I had left my katana in my backpack." She explained, panting. She sank to her knees; I walked over to her and picked her up. "You humans carry to much emotions and are too weak." I complained. She chuckled and struggled to get out of my hold. I released her and she began walking. "Stop Kagome, come here." I commanded. She turned around and fallowed my orders. I pulled out some power a witch had given me, and threw it on her, immediately she was healed.
About 30 minutes later we got out, I had washed her hair, which she had loved and we had talked for a while. We had decided that as soon as we got out, we would do each other's hair.
