CHAPTER 3
Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted by...
Seeing him tense up Kagome asked "Inuyasha , what is it ?"
His only response was a grunt followed by an almost inaudible "Sesshomaru……."
Sesshomaru had stopped too . He knew it was a bad idea but he decided to ignore Inuyasha this once . He was clearly not in mood to fight or talk for that matter but that stupid hanyou was not going to let him pass without having a chat . He braced himself .
"What the hell are you doing here , Sesshomaru".
Just like Inuyasha . So predictable . He answered anyway "I am camping nearby ".
"Well…..Stay away" Inuyasha said in a would be threatening tone until Kagome interrupted "Inuyasha stop being rude"
Inuyasha's jaw dropped in surprise . Sesshomaru merely looked on coldly unimpressed by the fact that Kagome had just spoken up for him . Off course he didn't need a support from a human girl like her .
"Baka yarou" not again . To cover up his discomfort he quickly said the first thing that came to his mind ,
"Do you have any news of Mouryoumaru?"
"Why the hell are you asking about him ?"
Why indeed ? Why was he asking about Mouryoumaru ?
He replied with the only answer he had and the one he usually gave to hide his feelings . It always worked well . It was a good façade .
"It's none of your concern".
"Um………"he leveled Kagome with a cold glare . Enough interruption from the stupid girl . But Kagome was not that easily intimidated , she went on , "Is it because of Kagura?"
'Ridiculous' off course he would have said that . Had it not been for that voice it "You knowit would be good to express your feelings for a change".
Sesshomaru looked around . Was he going insane ? . Hearing voices inside his head was clearly not a good sign .
"No you are not"
"What ?" this time he said it aloud.Looking around frantically until Kagome spoke up again "You know its okay if you...um...I mean"but Sesshomaru's glare was becoming more intimidating by every second.If looks could kill it certainly would have killed Kagome by them.
"Kagome, let's go" Inuyasha stepped in cautiously tugging at Kagome's arm nervously . Sesshomaru's ember eyes were now pools of hot magma.
"But..."Kagome never finished because right then a bright flash of white light appeared blinding them momentarily .
A tall slender woman with a slightly ('cough') eccentric hairstyle appeared before them.(A/N: If u know Yuuko you would know what I am talking about ).She was clad in an exotic western gown with beautiful floral motiffs made of fine silk.
She addressed Sesshomaru "My Lord " with a mock bow. Sarcasm was clearly evident in her voice .Her voice seductive.
"You probably don't know me but I know you , quite well indeed having held one-sided conversations with you for quite some time now "
Sesshomaru was quite taken aback by her (very) sudden appearance so much so that his jaw fell open (A/N: Quite a sight don't u think ! He !He!)
But being who he was he recovered quickly. His trademark stoic expression back on his face .
"I hope I didn't disturb your so called mental peace or intrude your personal space for that matter" she put in delicately.
Sesshomaru felt like snorting but since that was something below him he satisfied himself with remaining silent and glare at her . Listening to your thoughts could certainly be called intruding .
Shewaited for someone to say something but since nobody said anything partly because everybody was too surprised and Sesshomaru was busy glaring so she continued.
"You may wonder why I am here though and ... Oh!I haven't introduced myself have I how rude !"
"Indeed" muttered Sesshomaru sarcastically.
She went on like there had been no interuptions " My name is Yuuko and I am a witch "at this there was a sharp intake of breath.
"I am here to help you Sesshomaru"
Great...now Sesshomaru ."What makes you think I need your help, Witch"
"Your are going through a severe mental crisis so"
"And you figured that out how by readingmy thoughts? or by calling me "Asshole" interrupted Sesshomaru.
At this a smirk appeared on Yuuko's features "Ah that memories..."
"You ...How dare you..."Sesshomaru trailed of unable to continue.
"Calm down!I am here to help you , to help you feel .Listen this is important...Yuuko continued seeing Sesshomaru was again ready to interrupt.
"You really need to learn a lesson you know , I know what's going through your mind these days"
"It's none of your business"Sesshomaru said through gritted teeth .The womanhad certainlycrossed the line a long time ago.
"If you love her then the fact that she's a lesser demon or even the fact that she's dead doesn't matter"Yuuko went on not intimidated by Sesshomaru's threats.
"Just admit it that"
"No...I...I can't.Shut up!Shut up!Just shut up! or I am going to kill you"the pain in his chest was becoming unbearable.
"Killing me won't help you besides just listen to me once I know where Kagura is"
"You liar"
"No ,I really know where your Kagura is"
Sesshomaru wanted to believe her his heart was telling him so...but his mind was stopping him andwhen had he listened to his heart.This once may be just this once he will...
A/N:I worked hard on this so please R&R.Yuuko is an enchantress so she can enter people's mind.
