Demon Tenshi: I am going to be sorry about this chapter…it might lead you people to a wrong conclusion…hehehe…never mind what I just said. ;; I just hope you people don't get mad at me. I'll warn you…I don't know if I did Sesshoumaru's character right here… They're maybe a lot of OOC stuff and I really, really apologise for that, sometimes it can't be help, you now?
The First Love: CH 4: Hard To Tell
Sesshoumaru and Kagome flew; Kagome was sitting on Sesshoumaru's youkai cloud and indeed felt very hazy. It has been hours since she had been with Kouga. Apparently after she took her walk, she tripped and was found by Kouga. She fell unconscious and afterwards found herself in Kouga's cave, then he took her to his castle to tend to her wounds. Then she told Kouga the truth, on how she doesn't love him. She doesn't know how but Sesshoumaru was able to find her. It didn't really matter, but how did he find her? And why did he want to find her?
Sesshoumaru could still remember what had happened throughout the whole day, when he got back home to his castle, he found out that the miko, Kagome, ran off somewhere. So then, he had to search for her, he wasn't angry that the fact she was gone, he was angry that she dare leave him and not asked his permission first. But at least in the end...he found her.
But before he did all that, he payed a little visit to his little brother, telling him what he, Sesshoumaru has in plan. Of course as expected his little brother tried to put up a fight, but Sesshoumaru didn't. Not while he has the miko in his hands...well now he does.
"Sesshoumaru..." Kagome look up at him in tiredness but realised what she said. "Oh... Lord Sesshoumaru?" 'I am too tired, though I am not really doing anything but this is just too tiring, I just want to sleep. I wonder if he'll let me?' Kagome was about to continue but was interrupted.
"Fine, we are going to stop there." He pointed to a big tree and below it is a space for two or three people to rest. Sesshoumaru knew that the wench was tired and for all he knows he didn't want her to sleep on him.
"Arigatou." Kagome's eyes were already closing when she felt his youkai cloud disappear and her body touched the ground. She stood up and walk towards the big tree to rest.
Sesshoumaru didn't like being around a girl, specially a human girl. But right now he glanced at her tired body and he saw how her beautiful skin shown with the moon. Sesshoumaru shook his head.
'The human wench is weak. This Sesshoumaru will find food.' He realised then that he was actually worried about the girls condition. But he also couldn't bare the thought of her dying of hunger. He stood up and walk out of the tree and put a protection spell around it. He then tried to figure out a way out of his confusedness. 'She is in my hand, I don't anyone to think that, I, Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands isn't capable of keeping a human safety.' He thought. He then flew up and tried to look for fruits to eat, since he knew humans don't eat raw food. Though, even after his excuse to himself, he found it annoying that he would try to find an excuse why he was getting her food.
Minutes afterwards, he found some fruits about ten of them. But he didn't want to go back and then find out that she needs more and that he has to leave her again. 'Stupid humans and there habit for eating too much.'
After getting a lot of fruits he returned to the tree and was glad that she was not harm. There she was sleeping under the tree, not seeming to care that she is with the taiyoukai of the West. 'She is brave, for a human.' Sesshoumaru mentally hit himself with his hand. He then saw Kagome wiggle and then shiver. As he watched her form he saw that she has grabbed his tail and was using it to give her warmth.
He didn't do anything about it, there was simply no point. She was just human and would probably die if she didn't get her warmth. 'Stupid humans,' he thought as he saw her shiver a bit more. He signed, he guessed he will have to let her have that warmth after all. After a while, Sesshoumaru then notice that she was coming into her senses.
Kagome opened her eyes and Sesshoumaru was glaring at her then turned his head away. "Uhh.... Nani…?" Kagome opened her eyes wider, as realize there was something soft in her hands. Looking down at her hands, Kagome could see his tail in it squashed. "Oh!!! Gomen!! Sesshoumaru!!!" Kagome quickly stood up and started to gave a few bows until she realise she was bowing at Sesshoumaru.
"Oh... Well...." She didn't know what to say. 'Is this the same Sesshoumaru? He seems to have some emotions in his eyes. Oh Kagome!! You're seeing things.' She was probably imagining things, because the time when Sesshoumaru gets emotions is the time when the world will end. But as she thought about it, maybe she was being to shallow, because even though she has known him for a little while, she still doesn't know what's going inside of his head, right?
But then, having a very emotional Sesshoumaru by her side was a little over loaded. She just couldn't help but think that it was so out of character, for in some way she sees him as something along the lines of emotionless, but then she could still be wrong, right? But a couple of giggles couldn't be helped.
Seeing her happy mood, Sesshoumaru glared at her, "Why are you giggling about human?" He asked flatly.
"Oh nothing..." Kagome didn't want to tell him. "Hey, is this food?" She asked pointing to the many fruits on the ground. "I am really hungry, so can I eat them??"
Looking to where she pointed her fingers, Sesshoumaru nodded slightly. "Humans have been known for there need of too much food, so let yourself feast upon them." He said, his face turned away from her.
"Arigatou... Sesshoumaru sama." She said while kneeling down and looking up at him smiling. She only saw his mask.
Sesshoumaru gave her a nod. "Eat fast human. We must leave soon." Sesshoumaru said walking towards outside the tree and just leaned against the outside skin of it.
Kagome was so hungry and the fruits were really nice and fresh. She was happy that Sesshoumaru was actually trying to be nice to her, and she wondered...why? Maybe she was just seeing things, like when people hallucinate. Maybe these fruits in front of her weren't really real? "I must be going crazy." She said, not realising that she had just said that out loud.
"What the hell is that bastard talking about, he has Kagome we have to get her!!! Wait!! Why does he have Kagome and why would she willingly stay with him?! And what the hell would THEY be doing!!! You people, let's go, we have to find her!!! And save her from that MONSTER!!!" Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. His FRIENDS were ignoring him! Many hours ago, Sesshoumaru had paid them a little visit, telling them that Kagome was with him and that they are invited to go to this 'night' thing where Sesshoumaru would be choosing a mate.
"Inuyasha!! Close your mouth already! I'm sure Mama wouldn't be doing anything that you do with your Kikyou!!!" The voice came from behind only to find Shippou. Inuyasha turned slightly angry. But then, calm down. He then gave a smirk.
"I guess, I haven't told you guys yet?" Inuyasha said finally.
"Told us what?" Miroku asked turning behind him was Inuyasha.
"I...." He didn't know how to tell them about his decision. 'Uhhh.... should I tell them? Well, maybe if they know they'll understand. But how can I explain it to them? Oh... Guys I'm INLOVE WITH KAGOME!!! Yeah, right… They'll make fun of me.' But even at the thought of this Inuyasha told them the 'other' way. "Well... You guys might think that I like Kikyou and all but you see... ...she is just someone I have to protect. Kagome is a whole new story." 'Inuyasha mentally gave himself a pat in the back. If he was going to say things like that, then that was one way to put it.
"So... you mean you don't think of Kagome of a copy?" Sango asked. "I mean Kagome thinks that you do." Sango covered her mouth when she realizes what she had just said.
"No, Kagome is Kagome she is nothing like Kikyou except her appearance... Eh!!! Did you say that KAGOME thinks that, that, that... I think she's a copy?" Inuyasha heard what Sango said, but didn't quite listen to the Kagome bit, until it hit him!
"Don't worry, Inuyasha, as long as you say that you CARE FOR HER NOT AS A COPY, then you may manage to you know..." Miroku said flatly.
"SO.... Kagome thinks that.... I guess I know why..." Inuyasha was now in pain. "At least I have finally told that to Kikyou..." He was thinking out loud he didn't notice until Sango interrupted him.
"So!!! You finally told Kikyou that you DON'T LOVE HER!!!" Sango said with a big smile.
"Yes... I did..." He said remembering his talk with Kikyou.
"That's good!!" Shippou jumped on Inuyasha's shoulder and smiled at him wildly.
"Well... we better get you prepared then!!!" Miroku said.
"Prepare for what?" Inuyasha asked. 'What the hell for?'
"Well... Lady Kagome is going to be at that ceremony or whatever night it is, right?" Miroku said asking Inuyasha. Inuyasha just gave a nod. "If she is, then we should get you all good looking for Kagome. You know how Sesshoumaru is so elegant and all, I have to admit, well if you dress up like that elegant and apologise to Kagome, then maybe she'll accept you!!! And all your troubles will disappear!"
Inuyasha smiled and then turned towards Sango and Shippou who is now behind him. They were both wearing big smiles as well. "Ok... I guess she might, but you better not try anything stupid monk." Inuyasha said.
"Ok, Lady Sango, Shippou lets go to Kaede's hut and get Inuyasha doing things properly!" Miroku grabbed Sango's hand and ran. 'Hehehe... while Inuyasha is dealing with Lady Kagome, I'll deal with Lady Sango... hehehehehe...' Miroku was now smiling mischievously to himself.
Kikyou was at another unknown village. She was trying to heal people to make them go on her side of course. But she couldn't concentrate. 'I don't get it, why would Inuyasha choose her over me? And that is not all I saw Sesshoumaru with her, I saw them together. She is nothing but a copy of mine but she seems to get them all. Maybe I should make life harder for both. Inuyasha will realize whom he loves. A love spell.' She then stand up and stop healing the people and walks away smiling.
"Miko. The dead bitch Miko is here." He felt her- more like smelt her disgusting scent he knew he did. Sesshoumaru while, trying to go down to get Kagome in his arms felt a suddenly something or some kind of force stopping him. "No, run Miko."
Kagome heard him saying something after she finish eating, he sounded like he was in trouble. "Sesshoumaru?" She stepped outside only to find him against a tree. She then turned her head the other side to find Kikyou standing.
"Kikyou!! What do you want!" Kagome was scared and yet angry. She didn't want to fight Kikyou right now, she hardly had any strength and why does Kikyou wanted to fight with her? She got Inuyasha, didn't she?
"Kagome... I don't really want much anything... I am here to give you something instead." Kikyou raise her hand up and a bow and a weird looking arrow appeared. The arrow is colour red and there were feathers around it. She aimed it straight at Kagome's heart. "This shall do it!!!"
"What? What the hell is that?" Kagome looked straight at Kikyou and missed a few arrows coming towards her. But the third one hit her this time. Kagome was very surprise though; instead of feeling the arrow's sharpness she felt a sudden joy.
"Now, Kagome closed your eyes..." Kagome did what Kikyou told her. With that Kikyou left.
"Hahahahahaha!" A laugh can be heard from afar. 'Now. Maybe I didn't hit her right. Maybe the spell would only last after a few kissed, but knowing Kagome she will think that she loves him and forget about Inuyasha.' Kikyou kept walking through the forest, her voice irritating every single bird and creature around her.
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes and to find a very scared looking Kagome. He found himself against a tree. He jumps down next to the Miko, who was sitting on the ground with her eyes closed. "Miko, what is it? Open your eyes." He ordered.
"I don't want to." Kagome said.
"Why not? What happen?" Sesshoumaru was very confused. He wanted to know what had happened.
"She shot me, but I didn't feel any pain."
"Then what is it?"
"She told me to close my eyes." Kagome stated.
"And Miko, you're listening because...?" Sesshoumaru asked, while a questioned look came on to his face.
"I feel happy..." Kagome said finishing his sentence, not sure of what type of excuse she has just made. She knew it to be pathetic, but it was a reason enough. Hey, just how many people feel happy after they are shot an arrow?
Narrowing his eyes, Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm. "Miko, I will not say this again, open your eyes." He said coldly, while forcing her to stand up.
She could feel his hands grasped her arm, "Fine, but..." Kagome's eyes opened and saw Sesshoumaru. And somehow, she didn't know it…for some reason, she felt s powerful urge to love him? She tried to shake the thought away, but it felt as if she needed to kiss him or do something.
He watched as she opened her eyes, and for some reason, he couldn't help but see the weird look on her face. She was smiling at him, and for no reason at all. Trying to ignore her disturbing smile, "Miko let us go." It made him feel weird, that smile and that face.
With that Kagome shook her head. "Sesshoumaru. I just realise something."
"What is it now, wench?" He asked coldly.
"I hate it when you call me that." Sesshoumaru's eyes widen and look at her. Was she crazy? Telling him what she hated and what she liked? To him? Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands? And as he glared at her, he realised something, she was still smiling at him, and he by now came to the conclusion - she was crazy. "Is that what you want realised, Miko?" He asked.
Kagome's eyes were now shining. "No... Sesshoumaru. I LOVE you." She whispered blushing.
Sesshoumaru was now looking at Kagome as if she gotten crazy.
"Don't look at me like that! I LOVE YOU!! Can't you at least say something sweet!!"
"Look, wench I don't have time---"
Kagome went up and kissed him. Sesshoumaru didn't pull away, after he felt her soft lips against his lips, he simply kissed her back. 'What is this wench doing to me?'
Kagome then pulled back gently. "Now do you how much I love you!" She looked at him straight in the eyes. She could see the surprised look on his face, his mouth was slightly opened and his eyes giving a disturbing stare. She giggled and then kissed him again, this time more passionately and he responded to her kissed.
Kagome then opened her eyes shock at what was happening. She pushed him away. "What!?"
Sesshoumaru notice her sudden change of attitude. He didn't like the fact that she was the one that kissed him, yet she is the one who is acting like she is the one who was a victim. So he responded with his normal tone. "Wench. Don't ever do that again." He said in a low threatening and deadly voice.
Kagome then realises and remembers what happened. "I DID THAT?" She confirmed herself. "Sorry... I think I was in a spell. I am really sorry." Kagome's eyes were covered by her bangs. She couldn't believe what she just did. It was simply embarrassing; she just…did that…to Sesshoumaru. The thought of it all made her felt something unwelcomed.
"And where do you think your going?" Sesshoumaru was shocked but tried to calm his nerves.
Turning around, Kagome let a dumb look cross her face. "Um... I don't know."
END OF CHAPTER 4: Three Memories: The First Love
Demon Tenshi: I am so sorry, I know that some of the characters are very OOC, but please forgive my incompetence. And if I made many spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes in this chapter (which I know I did) please except my deepest apology. I did this chapter in a hurry for I had so much other plans, you know? I promised I would try to make the next chapter a little more of on character…that is a promise.
Mai- Ehh….don't get mad at me… but err… I started this Fic thinking that I should make it a SessKag FanFic, but don't worry… Inuyasha won't suffer that much and anyway…this story is way long, long away from finish. So, I am very sorry, really I am...I like Inuyasha and Kagome to be together, but then I decided to do something more to SessKag because it is kind of like an unfeasible love and I wanted that as a challenge. So sorry...
And thank you to the people who reviewed…they are all very nice and good reviews!!
