I'm so afraid to type in chapter numbers. In another story, I had all the numbers for the chapters mixed up and it was hard to sort out. If you notice me making that mistake, review and let me know.
Also seems that I forgot one reviewer in my last chatper. So sorry, I shall reply to your review in this chapter. I promise!
Chapter Five: Lessons
"You will not insult me, wench." He commanded. She didn't reply then he left after a while. She pulled herself up again, now it had started to rain harder. She sighed then managed to get up. She leaned against the wall, making her way in.
After she got in, sopping wet I might add, she was taken to her room and food was on her bed. She gently grabbed the food, eating slowly. The food tasted good, considering that it was food 500 years before the food of her time.
"Well, time for bed." Kagome told herself. She picked the tray up then placed it on the dresser. There she saw a mirror. Her face had dirt and mut on it and... Wait, what clothes were these? She used the mirror to look at the clothes. They looked like Sesshoumaru's clothes.
But, being that she's so much smaller than the demon lord, they were very loose on her. She had to admit to herself that she liked them. She crawled into the soft bed and soon dozed off.
Kagome's body jerked, waking her up from her nightmare. She looked around then her attention fell on the window. It was already morning. She was bound to wake up, nightmare or no nightmare. She placed a hand on her forehead.
She was sweating. Great. Not only did she look like a filthy human, but she smelled and felt like a dirty human. She'd have to ask Sesshoumaru if she could bath. Hmm. That may be a bit harder since the scratches on her chest and neck hadn't healed enough for her to. Damn. Now she'd smell filthy until she could bathe!
She slowly walked out of the room, surprised that no one had been there to scold her for leaving without permission. She'd get lost within moments, she could garuntee it. Within moments, she found herself back at a room. A purple crescent moon was on it. Sesshoumaru's room, no doubt.
Curiosity over took her as she slowly turned the door knob. No one seemed to be snarling at her yet. She opened the door entirely then slowly walked into the room. Silver silk sheets were on his bed. The finest of furniture decorated the room and a brush sat on his dresser.
She giggled at the sight. With hair as long as his, it was no surprise that he needed a brush. But imagining the big, bad, demon lord with bed head was somewhat amusing. Not to mention the idea of him with a bad hair day. It was worse that Kagome's would be, no doubt about that. Kagome looked over the brush, noticing the silver strands of hair on it. Yep. He used it alright.
"What are you doing in my room, wench?" She heard someone ask. She turned around to see Sesshoumaru, Lord of Ice, glaring at her. If looks could kill, she would have died ten times over. He was mad at her. Then again, she got this mad when Souta went in her room, so it made sense.
"My name isn't wench, it's Kagome! Kuh-goe-meh!" She scolded. Sesshoumaru seemed to disappear then she felt his hand around her throat. Her feet left the ground as she gasped for air.
"You will not tell me how to adress you, wench. You are a lowly human." He told her. After watching her lose air for a few moments, Sesshoumaru dropped her. When she didn't get up, he started to worry. Had he killed the human?
No, her chest was moving. Perhaps he shouldn't have dropped her. Seemed that she knocked out. He gave out a growl as he realized that she had knocked out in his room. Lousy humans. Always doing what would anger demons most. Well, at least the humans from her village did. He turned around to leave her then saw Rin standing there. Glaring at him.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! What did you do to Lady Kagome?" She squealed. She ran up to Kagome's knocked out body and rubbed her head. Kagome let out a moan then her eyes fluttered open. She looked up at the concerned child then smiled.
"Lady Kagome, are you okay?" She asked. Kagome held her head then sighed.
"I'm fine, Rin..." She explained. Sesshoumaru watched her as she got up then looked at his bookshelf. Her eyes lit up as she grabbed a book. He opened his mouth to scold her, but he was quickly cut off.
"You have this book? I love this book! I must've read it a million times!" Kagome started saying. Sesshoumaru watched the human read the pages in awe. A human that knew how to read. She must be a noble. Or she had just lied to him.
"You know how to read, human?" He asked her. She looked over at him then glared.
"My name is Kagome!" She snapped. She turned her attention back to the book. Would she ignore the demon lord if he didn't use her name?
"You are not worthy of me using your name. Answer me." He said. He had expected her to continue ignoring him, but she didn't. She closed the book and put it on the bookshelf.
"Yes, I can read." She replied, looking down at her leg. Rin clung onto it as if her life depended on it. Kagome looked up as Sesshoumaru moved a bit.
"You will teach Rin to read." He ordered. Kagome shot him an angry look.
"I'm not going to take orders. You can ask me nicely if you want me to do something." She informed him. She knelt down by Rin. Rin hugged her gently as she smiled.
"Human, will you teach Rin to read?" Sesshoumaru interrupted. Kagome stood up then rubbed Rin's head.
"Yes, I will." She said. He left the room then Rin began jumping up and down.
"Lady Kagome, start teaching me now! I want to learn to read now!" She began squealing. Kagome smiled then led Rin out of the room. She found the library then went in and grabbed the smallest book she could find. Rin sat down on a couch then Kagome sat next to her, opening the book.
As Kagometaught, Rin grasped each concept well. Her mind was taking in everything Kagome taught her. Kagome handed the book to Rin. She was glad to find out that Rin could read most of it on her own. A servant came in.
"Rin, human. The Lord says to join him for dinner." The servant told them. Kagome got up then took Rin's hand. She followed the servant to a large dining room. She instantly gasped at the sight of the fancy decorations and the many assortments of food on the table.
Then she met Sesshoumaru's gaze. He looked more amused by her reactionrather thanangry that she didn't announce herself or act proper. She took Rin to a chair and sat Rin down. But Rin didn't stay! She ran up to Sesshoumaru and hugged him.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Lady Kagome taught me to read!" Rin told the indifferent demon lord. He gave a brief nod then his gaze fell onto the human who stared at everything.He could smell it, she was nervous. Over what, though?
"Rin, go eat with Kagome." He told the little girl. She trotted off to Kagome and sat down next to her. Meanwhile, Kagome looked up in shock, staring at the eating demon lord. Had he just called her by her real name? She was so shocked, it took her a while to choke down that fact and start eating.
There. I am going to stop giving you the review limit. I expect to take a long time on each chapter since I broke my wrist and all. But, if I only get two reviews, I won't update. The reviews just encourage me to finish the story anyway. So, it's to your best interest to review. Hope you all like this chapter!
- Inukag909: Ouch. Our car is ruined entirely... I loved that car too! Wish we didn't have a CD in the player though, I don't think we'll get it back now.
- AsleepForever101: Wow. Well, don't go crazy on me. There are plently of good Sess/Kag stories you can read. Heh, I have always noticed that. I guess that's so the people living there can stay in shape. And no, I don't plan on having Kagome turn into a demon. Some stories can be good, but I just don't like them at all. I will work on my chapter ASAP.
- Tyko : Sarcasm? I know that Kagome isn't the most grateful, but Sesshy isn't exactly being kind to her either... I woulda said he wasn't prince charming, but he is to most people I talk to - including myself.
- inu-yukai clan : Name change? I thought it was Lady Yuuki last... Anyway, I am not a fan of it. I am always a critic of my own work. Hell, I say my poems suck and one just got published! Thank you for the review as well.
- Tris Riddle : I usually don't plan on foreshadowing, but it might be. You'll just have to find out. And give it at least one more chapter - most likely more - Sesshy will be nice to Kagome.
- Crazy-Inuyasha-Girl20 : I will try my best. I just have a bunch of tests and, now, an entire new semester of math to work on... I'm going to slow down on typing a lot. Especially with this stupid splint (and soon to be a cast) on me.
- Jane Garden : Well, thank you... My mom will be sore for a while. We have a concert to get to tomorrow that's an hour from home... We don't know how we'll get there, but we've been offered my dad's truck. (Mind you, he's offering my mom his truck when they are divorced...)
- Pyra-Vamp-Chick: Anything but the McDonald's song! Heh, I will heal slowly, but I will not neglect you awesome reviewers.
To everyone who commented on my wrist and feeling sorry for me, I thank you... I have gotten questions about my mom and friend. My mom has a sore hip and her big toe on the right foot got a deep laceration (that's a fancy word for cut). She got it stitched up. My friend has a bad bruise on her right hip along with a cut. Her shoulder is bruised and she has a cut on it as well. She's in the most pain out of all of us.
