Chp.7: The no good ploy

Naraku sat on his seat calling the spirits to aid him in his evil idea's and ploys. "So...Sesshomaru saved Inuyasha's wench" said Naraku thoughtfully.."This could get interesting if I plan the timing right" Just then Kikyo walked in,
"aha Kikyo I think I have something for you"...
"I won't do anything for a demon like you"
"What if it involves...old...relationships"
"...What do you mean?"

Sesshomaru touched his hands and the fragile flower that lay in them. It were White and blue. Even though it was just a simple flower it meant so much more to him somehow. He didn't know how or why but he desperately wanted to see Kagome again...
"Sesshomaru-sama, can I see what Kagome gave you?" He carefully handed the little girl the flower.
"ohhh so pretty...it's a forget me not! We grow that in our garden Sesshomaru sama! The legend says whoever hands this flower to a friend or love of theirs never forgets them and the same for the person who receives it!" Rin gave the flower back to Sesshomaru and started hitting Jaken on the head and pulled on his tail. Sesshomaru ignored the cries and yelps of Jakens torment and instead thought of this one human who had shown him so much kindness. Kagome...

"You know Inuyasha hasn't been talking to you for a long time Kagome" said Sango looking up at the tree were the jealous dog demon rested.
"Let him then, He didn't need to be so rude when Sesshomaru was here"
Just then Inuyasha pounced on the ground next to her, baring his teeth.
"You didn't answer my question, why were you defending him?"
"Because he didn't do anything!"
"Here they go again" said shippo sighing.
"You know all he wants is my Teitseiga"
"SIT, Inuyasha , all you care about is your stupid Teitsesiga, SIT , you didn't even ASK if I was alright! SIT,SIT,SIT!"
"KAGOME, I think that's enough sits" said a worried Sango.
"Inuyasha has a point, Sesshomaru is a little weird he could've tried anything while he was here." Said Shippo.
"But he didn't did he?" said Kagome. Inuyasha finally gets out of his hole and sits crossed legged on the ground and asks "Who was that little girl anyway?"
"Your talking to me?"
"Of course, got a problem with it?"
"Her name is Rin, Sesshomaru brought her back to life when she died with his sword and ever since he's cared for her.." said Kagome, ignoring his threat.
"Yeah right, he's probably just keeping her so she can be his slave."
"SIT" Kagome uncrosses her hands and walks away into the forest leaving the rest behind. Inuyasha! The nerve. What a jackass…Why did everyone hate Sesshomaru? Granted, he was intimidating but…

"Oh Sesshomaru…I don't know whether I want to be against you or be with you" Kagome said out loud. She waved away the enticing thought. She sat on the bank of a small pond, staring into it's depths until she saw the red of Inuyashas clothes. He sat beside her blushing.
"I--I'm sorry Kagome" He took her hand in his and looked into her eyes so she could see he meant it. The wind blew softly dancing in Inuyasha's and her hair.
"I..I didn't mean to be like that…it's just….I should've been the one to bring you home…and Sesshomaru has always…been the same way…so sorry."
"Well,…all right. I apologize for my reaction…I guess."
"What? That's it?" says a puzzled Inuyasha.
"You weren't expecting a kiss or something were you?"
"Hey who said anything about a kiss?"

It was quiet between them for a moment as a firefly flew past
"So...do you except?" Kagome hugs Inuyasha.

"Of course…" she says and walks back to the group.

After Naraku was done explaining his devious ploy to Kikyo she laughed.

"Hmmm, this should be interesting" said Kikyo.
"Then you'll do it?"
"What do I get out of it?" Naraku whispers in Kikyo's ear.
"Then I except."

Oh. Aren't you wondering what the evil ploy is? (Even though I explained it in the summary) Keep reading to find out! -QN
