Chapter 5- Scouting 1
Disclaimer- I don't own what's not mine!
Kagome walked down the wooden hallway. She felt like such an idiot, she forgot about Sesshomaru's things. She had just left him there without thinking. She sighed, as she continued to walk down the hallway that lead to his study. Shippo was hugging her arm, so that she couldn't bend her right arm.
She stopped, looking at the doorway that lead to the study which she'd be seeing all too much of for that one day. She walked towards the door slowly and slowly opened it only to see a picture pretty darn close to perfection.
Sesshomaru sat his head faced up towards the window just above his desk, which he was resting his head on. Papers where scattered around the desk, but nearly as close to what it had been earlier. The full moons rays reflected on his face which glowed softly. His silver hair slipped around him, his eyes were closed and his legs stretched out in front of him his hands held his head.
Kagome walked into the room silently, forgetting what she was doing she walked over to the opposite side of the desk and sat down mimicking Sesshomaru's pose. Her eye lids grew heavy to the point that she just couldn't keep them open. 'I'm just going to rest my eyes for a second, and then I'll leave,' Kagome thought. As she closed her eyes she lost a losing battle and fell in to a peaceful sleep, one that she hadn't had in all her life.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes. 'When did I fall asleep?' he thought, confusion clear in his usually emotionless face, he took in a deep breath something caught his scene of smell, it smelled like vanilla and a little bit of tropical coconut, but mostly vanilla. He sat up and looked around, more confusion showing on his face. He finally pinpointed the scent from across and below him. He looked down to see the one that he felt a little guilt for after he had punished her a little more then needed. He looked at her face then back to the lighting sky as it slowly inched its way in dawn. He stood up.
At hearing the sudden movement Kagome's eyes shot open and looked around the room quickly until they came upon cold golden eyes. She quickly jumped to her feet with a 'Eep!' like sound. She bowed, but not as low as most servants would. She felt the cold eyes still upon her and she straightened up. Her glance turned to a stare then to a glare. But still she didn't speak, not just yet.
"It's rude to stare, I'd thought that you'd know that," Sesshomaru said, breaking the silence.
"This isn't a stare this is a glare, one that is not about to stop for sometime," Kagome stated still glaring.
"I suggest that you stop or you will find that you will have no eyes to do such," Sesshomaru said.
"It'll only successed in making the glare more intimidating then it is as of now and possibly a little grosser then it has to be," Kagome stated the glare becoming more intense.
"Do you always talk to people that are better then you this way?" Sesshomaru asked matching Kagome's glare with his own.
"No, because I have not found one person that is better then myself," Kagome said airily.
"A bit full of your self aren't we?" Sesshomaru asked making the glare colder.
"Naw, just tilling it as it is," Kagome said she stopped the glaring match and smiled.
The door flew open and in stepped Rin. She fidgeted with the hem of Kimono sleeves.
"What is it Rin?" Sesshomaru asked his glare ended and his eyes softened as did his voice.
"You were not in your room so I got worried and Sango-san came and asked if I had seen Kagome anywhere and told me that she never came back from your study…" Rin said trailing off. She looked up and saw Kagome with a bright smile.
"I'm fine, I just fell asleep, nothing special happened," Kagome assured her.
"I am fine, Rin," Sesshomaru said. He heard Rin sigh in relief.
"I wanted to ask something, Sesshomaru-sama," Rin started and looked at the ground.
"And…" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome long forgotten looked at Sesshomaru, Rin, then the door. 'I'll never make it,' She thought and stifled a sigh in defeat.
"Could I bring someone with us on our scouting trip, Jaken is getting cranky and won't pay much attention to me, so may I?" Rin asked.
"If you must, then do so," Sesshomaru said, "But I will not safe the said person if it is needed, you must be responsible and they must defend themselves."
Rin nodded and turned to Kagome who was staring at the door then at Sesshomaru then to herself.
"Kagome what are you doing?" Rin asked curiousness leaking into her voice. Kagome didn't seem to hear her as she continue the partner of looking at the door, then Sesshomaru and then Rin.
"Hmm…" Kagome said looking at Rin, "You said something but I didn't hear it, what did you say?"
"I asked what you where doing."
"I'd tell you but that would ruin the plan for some other day that I could use it, so I well not tell you," Kagome said with a nod. Rin and Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.
"But if you don't tell us then we well figure it out and be waiting for the said thing to happen," Sesshomaru said.
"Wait I could do that…" Kagome said retreating in to the confines of her mind.
"What could you…?"Rin started then shook her head, "Kagome…"
"Yes…" she looked at Sesshomaru and saw the murderous look in his eyes at the leak of respect, "Lady Rin?" She added.
"I thought I told you not to call me Lady!" Rin said. Kagome smiled sly.
"Who said I had to listen?" she questioned.
"I did!" Rin said.
"If you said not to call you lady, then that means I don't have to respect a request from someone who clearly does not want that respect. So I choice to respect your wishes or I respect you the way that shows respect to others," Kagome said her sly smile turning into a creepy grin that would make all evils proud.
"You know someday you are doing to literally talk some ones ears off," Rin said with a grin.
"I most literally will, and I will be proud and use it as a threat to the next person that I engage in an a argument, successfully win any argument," Kagome said.
"I can only hope that I'm not the victim in this plan…" Rin warned.
"You very well might be," Kagome said.
"Your so coming on the scouting trip with us, I'll never be bored with you there!" Rin declared.
"That's so sweet of you! Of course I'll go, maybe then I'll successed in talking this Jaken's ears off," Kagome said thoughtfully.
"He's already talked a couple peoples ears off, with his unwanted, un needed mumblings," Rin said. They walked out of the study leaving a more then cold ever Sesshomaru. 'Great, I thought that I'd be able to get rid of Jaken for sure this time, but we only got one worse then him…' Sesshomaru thought rubbing in between both of his eyes. He sighed and left also into his own room, taking his weapons and a few spare clothes and then made his way to his secret stables in the woods behind the city walls.
Rin and Kagome walked towards the gates at the front of the city. Rin had said that there was a short cut but Kagome outright refused to use a short cut; winning by saying that it'd only make them lazy. So they walked, laughing and talking. They walked not noticing the stares they where getting from the towns people. Kagome stopped and looked up, in front of her was a very angry giant female Panda demon. She laughed nervously. She glared down at Kagome.
"Hello…" Kagome asked uncertainly.
"What are you doing with lady Rin? You know as well as us all that no one is to talk to lady Rin, no one that isn't the best of the best," the Panda said.
"That's putting it bluntly…" Kagome said. A smile spread across her face, "Whose to say, I'm just not being lazy along with Rinny. What are you her keeper?"
"Yes, I am her keeper, wench. When she is in the city, I keep track of her when out of the castle." The Panda said. Kagome grin melted in to a glare. A hint of a smile on her lips as she thought of a plan. She broke out laughing, trying to make it sound evil, failing miserably.
"Hahaha, Mister Zealous is jealous, your just trying to safe your job!" Kagome said.
"Kagome," someone whispered sleepily into her ear, it sounded fearful. Kagome's eyes widened; one word going through her head, 'Shippo!'.
"What was that?" Rin asked. Kagome smiled sheepishly.
"I am sorry, Miss Panda, I'd wish to continue this argument, but me and Rin must be on our way," Kagome said the grin that seemed to have always been their disappeared and a hurried look came to her face. Then another grin spread on her face, one that as Rin was starting to understand meant a plan.
"How 'bout a race Rin?" Kagome asked.
"I don't know the streets seem to be pretty full," Rin tried to make an excuse only to find that everyone to the gate was on either side of the street, leaving a perfect trail to the gates. Kagome's grin only spread, "Fine you win, first one there has too…"
"Has to tell the other their deepest secret, if it's a tie then you don't have ta'." Kagome said, making a dash for the gates. Rin got up and ran to catch up to her. The gates came in to view, The gates doors where already open and the two dashed out, once they made it to a clearing just out of view from the city did they stop. They panted to catch their breath.
"Who…won…?" Rin asked between pants.
"Wasn't…keeping…track…" Kagome answered in between pants, "I just… didn't like…the stares…we where…getting…"
"Oh," Rin said after recovering. She straightened her back bone and watched Kagome. Kagome reached behind her neck and took hold of the base of Shippo's tail.
"And so I get Shippo," Kagome said and moved the tail to her shoulder, in which appeared a little boy no older then 7 years old. "You remember Shippo from Yesterday don't you?"
"Yes, I'm sorry to say but I forgot about him," Rin said. Kagome smiled sheepishly.
"To tell you the truth I forgot too, I've got used to him hanging on my shoulder," Kagome answered sheepishly. They laughed and talked as they walked down a worn out path until they saw a stable in the distance. Kagome stopped talking right away.
"Kagome whats the matter?" Rin asked worried for her friend. Kagome didn't answer and stared at stables then at the woods next to them. "Kagome?" Rin asked a little louder. She watched as Kagome and flowed her glances from the stable just as she was about to look the other way she saw coming from the windows a dark purple poison seeped heavily out of any crack. Her eyes widened then she flowed Kagome's other glance towards the woods only to see two small armys of 50 one in the sky and the other on the land. They weren't dressed in uniform so Rin thought barbarians.
