Chapter 3: Face to Face

Kagome didn't know how long she was walking for and by now her feet were starting to hurt. She decided to keep on walking a little more until she found a suitable spot to rest for the night. As she walked she came upon this beautiful spot in the forest where the trees made a little circle and in the middle of them were low cut grass that swayed in the light breeze. The was also a little stream where the water shimmered in the moon light. There were also flowers surrounding everything and all in all it was just beautiful.

She laid she sleeping bag under a tree that she decided provided enough shade. She then went over to the stream to clean up. Right now she felt so dirty and used that she just felt like washing it all away. She unshed she clothing slowly, piece by piece as if it hurt her to do so. She finally went into the stream. The water was surprisingly deep at the part she chose to wash off at. The water was just the right temperature. It was not too cold and not to warm it was perfect. She found surprising comfort in the cool water but she longed to be comforted by powerful hands that she could feel safe in. She wanted nothing more to do with Inu Yasha or that hag she just wanted to find these damn Shikon shards and go back home and be a normal teen again.

She took the wash cloth and moved it over her body and cleaned herself throughly. She then ducked her head under the water to wash her hair. When she came up back she though 'This feels so good.' She could say she finally felt a little ease of the pain in her aching heart but it hadn't done a great deal though. She figured she would stay in the water for about a next half an hour or so till she felt a little more better.

Sesshoumaru didn't know where he was going and had lost track of the time. He had no idea of where his instincts were leading him to so he had no choice but to follow them.

After a few more minutes of following his instincts he came upon a clearing. While he was on the top limb of a tree where he was hidden out of sight he made out that someone was camping there. 'Fresh meat he thought' he thought. He then shifted his gaze and saw that someone was bathing in the stream next to the camp site. 'Its a woman. What is a human woman doing out here in the middle of the night without a human male to guard her' he thought absentmindedly.

He decided to get a closer look. What he saw shocked him! There she was the same very woman who his pathetic brother was always around. Then he thought franticly while looking around to see if he could find anyone else 'Is this a trap to lure me in to destroy me? Well if is their in for a surprise!' But he found no one around her, she was by herself.

The sight was very amusing to him. Knowing that she was defenseless and could just go down there and do anything he wanted with her. It was tempting but he stayed still watching her very attractive naked body and her movements. His eyes cast over every inch of her beautiful and matured body. Her perfectly developed breast, her flat stomach, and her genitals. His lust started to build up. He was actually loosing control and it was over a human woman.

He lost his footing on the branch and decided that this was as good a time as any to make his appearance.

Kagome had this very strange feeling that someone was watching but shook the thought off her mind. She just continued to move in the water enjoying herself. Then all of a sudden she heard the snap of a branch. She decided to turn around and see what it was. What she saw nearly gave her have a heart attack. It was Sesshoumaru! He was standing not too far from her with a smirk plastered on his handsome face. She didn't know what to do, all she knew that if she screamed no one would hear her and that it was useless to do so. She just held onto her breath and prayed that nothing bad was goin to happen.

OMG so what gonna happen now?! Is he gonna rape her or somethin?? LOL i don't think he is cause i anit like dat! i'm not into raping scenes. well i hope u guys enjoyed this chapter! and don't 4get to click on dat little button on the bottom of the page that says 'review'. Bye 4 now
