Authors note: Yah I'm starting to write this Friday night and I JUST saw the Inu-Yasha episode "Temptress in the Mist" God Inu-Yasha is dense and Miroku is a pervert. Lol. Hope I didn't offend anyone. And my apologies for flaming before, allieycosta. I should have kept it to myself. Your information will help me fix my own story so thank you. But seriously I find 1000 short and you had like 100-400 for one chapter. Oh and this chapter is supposed to be kind of funny but the next one might be funnier.

Chapter 8: Getting Closer then Wanted

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Kagome yawned and stretched. The warm sun once more on her face. She figured she had woken up early because Kyoko wasn't there so Kagome started to dress herself and do her own hair and makeup. Kyoko came in about half an hour later while Kagome was begging to get her backpack. Kyoko looked at Kagome and smiled. Kagome had down her hair in two buns that sort of disguised the cat ears. She was planning on seeing her friends. God it was going to be an adventure.

"Your up early!" Kyoko pointed out happily.

"Yes, I am. I guess it's because I'm excited about seeing my friends and family."

"That's nice, but what are you going to do while your waiting? You have an hour before you have to wake Rin-Chan."

"I don't know. Well I could start by feeding Suzu…" Kyoko pulled out a bag of food for Suzu. Kyoko had already planned on feeding Suzu. "Fine I'll just sit."

Kyoko walked over to Kagome and sat beside her on the bed.

"Kagome? I know it's really none of my business but may I ask where you received such a beautiful necklace?"

Kagome looked down at her chest where a shining pink Shikon No Tama was glistening on her black kimono with white embroidery.

"This is the Shikon No Tama. A powerful jewel that can grant wishes so it is treasured by human and demon alike."

"Do, the wishes come true?" Kyoko asked and Kagome chuckled.

"Yeah they do. I accidentally broke the whole thing last year. Ever since it's been a race against some evil man to get the pieces before him. His name is Naraku."

Kyoko went sort of pale. "My father, he was killed by a man named Naraku." Kagome looked down at her hands, feeling sorry for Kyoko.

"I'm not surprised. Naraku has hurt so many people and made so many people die it's like it became automatic to think someone had someone lost something important at the expense of Naraku."

Kyoko nodded. The women talked for the rest of the hour talking about random things. Soon Kagome got up and made her way to Rin's room where the little girl was waking up. Kagome fulfilled her duties as Rin's guardian before heading down to the dining hall where as usual Sesshomaru and Jaken were already seated. The two were discussing something before they were interrupted by the girl's presence. The food was quickly place on the table and everyone as usual ate in peace and quiet. Once they finished Kagome looked up to Sesshomaru.

"So when are we leaving?"

"Now, Jaken, get Ah-Un ready."

"Ok my Lord, may I ask to go get my bag before we go?" Kagome questioned cautiously not to sound rude.

"Permission granted." Kagome nodded once Sesshomaru gave her permission. She quickly headed down the hall and into her room where the backpack was near the door. She grabbed it and was once again bounding down the hall to where Sesshomaru was waiting for her at the main doors. Sesshomaru opened the doors, light spreading into the room. Kagome smiled, the warmth welcomed. She laughed for no apparent reason when she got out. Jaken soon appeared with the two-headed dragon demon. The dragon or dragons seemed uncomfortable until they saw their master heading towards them. Sesshomaru jumped on. Only holding a hand out after her noticed Kagome was taking forever trying to get on. Kagome sat behind Sesshomaru and clung to him when she felt like she was going to fall off. Kagome blushed when she noticed what she was doing and let go to pull up Jaken who also was having some trouble getting on. Kagome resisted a bit though.

Once they got into the air Kagome once more clung to Sesshomaru, this time for fear of falling off…and having nothing else to hang on to. Sesshomaru found this quite annoying, though Kagome's scent he found calming and intoxicating. Jaken was laughing at Kagome. When Kagome finally felt ok, she started to hit Jaken. Sesshomaru simply ignored both of them. Kagome looked down afterwards, taking in the beautiful scenery. Soon below she saw Miroku, Sango, and Shippou traveling on the ground. They were pretty close to the village.

"My Lord? Could we please stop here so I can talk to my friends? You can go ahead. I assure you I will not try and run away. The well is close to here so you will be able to smell me anyways."

Sesshomaru agreed, what could go wrong? She was right. He would be able to smell her and plus he never thought she'd ever run away. Run away to what? She had nothing. And also Kagome was starting to piss him off from being so close. Her scent was all over his back. And obviously his own scent would be on her front.

Miroku pointed to the sky suddenly at a large dragon demon coming down from flight.

"Is that Kagome with Sesshomaru!"

Sango's own eyes grew wide when she spotted Kagome and Sesshomaru.

"It, it is!"

The three people who were already on the ground stared as the other three still in flight hovered down. Kagome jumped down happily and excitedly. Kagome was happy she'd be able to see her friends once more. Without Inu-Yasha and or Kikyou around.

"Sango-Chan!" Kagome cried as she ran to her old friend.

"I will be expecting you soon at the well, don't take long." Sesshomaru stated before turning to leave.

Kagome turned once again to Sesshomaru.

"Yes my Lord, and many thanks for letting me see my friends."

Sesshomaru was already gone by the time Kagome thanked him. Everyone was staring at her. All thinking the same thing. What was with the 'My Lord' stuff? Kagome turned around. Sango opened her mouth to speak but at first nothing came out. Soon the words came to her.

"Kagome, you have a lot to explain."

Kagome frowned but decided to tell her friends anyways. "After Inu-Yasha left the last time I saw him it turned out Sesshomaru had been listening. That's when Sesshomaru asked me to be a maid in his castle. Since I had nothing to lose I decided to accept and now here I am working for none other then Sesshomaru. We are here today because Sesshomaru is taking me home. He doesn't trust me. But I think I should hurry up and go to Sesshomaru so if he finds Inu-Yasha they wont rip each other to shreds."

"I think you're a little late. That's where Inu-Yasha is staying with Kikyou. We better hurry and find him." Sango said starting to run in the direction of the well. Kagome gave a groan of dissatisfaction from the fact she'd have to run. From being on Ah-Un so long she was stiff. She stretched a bit and soon caught up with Miroku, Sango, and Shippou who was on Miroku's shoulder.

"What did you do to her? Where is she?"

Inu-Yasha was screaming at Sesshomaru. It turned out Kikyou was in the village while Inu-Yasha was hanging out by the well for leisure. Inu-Yasha had smelt Sesshomaru coming and because Sesshomaru had Kagome's scent a bit from when she hugged him inadvertently, everything came flooding back to Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha could pretend he didn't care. And for the longest time he seriously didn't. But anything that reminded him of Kagome just sent him back down memory lane. All the pain, love, bliss. And once again Inu-Yasha cared for Kagome like he had never stopped. Sesshomaru was obviously taking delight in his brothers' discomfort. Obviously an upside of Kagome having hugged him.

"Why does it matter to you? You do not like her. And she does not like you so what is it to you?"

"Arg, Damn you Sesshomaru!"

Inu-Yasha and Sesshomaru started to fight. Of course Sesshomaru winning. Suddenly a black flash appeared in front of Inu-Yasha as Sesshomaru was about to slash Inu-Yasha with his poison claws.

"Please my Lord, do not harm Inu-Yasha."

Inu-Yasha was happy to see Kagome but just as confused as everyone else was about the "My Lord part". Kagome turned around. Inu-Yasha's heart lightened a bit. Kagome looked so much better then she had a few days ago. She had a look of bliss in her eyes. She looked awesome in the beautiful silk traditional kimono. But she had Sesshomaru's scent on her, which disturbed Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha began to growl.

"Kagome what did he do to you? I swear I'll get him back if you get out of the way so I can kill him."

"Inu-Yasha you will be doing nothing of the sort. Sit." Sesshomaru was highly amused by Kagome's power over his brother. Wishing the same power could be in his own hands. Inu-Yasha went pummeling to the ground. Kagome turned around to face Sesshomaru. "I am deeply remorseful my Lord. For I know I should not have interfered in your battle but I think we should finish getting me to the place we came to go to first. Do you not agree?"

Sesshomaru nodded, she had a point. They had come to do something, and he had planned on doing it as fast as he could. The gang showed up and watched the rest of the show in amusement.

"I guess you were just saved by a woman Inu-Yasha. I am not surprised."

Inu-Yasha was confused. He watched as Kagome and Sesshomaru walked over to the well, Kagome telling him to hold on to her hand or something but Sesshomaru refused. It was a riot for Inu-Yasha. Until he heard Kagome's next words.

"Well, then you're going to have to hold onto me somehow. Here, just grab me by the waist and we can go in. You need to be touching me somehow for it to work." Inu-Yasha frowned. No way was his brother going to ever touch Kagome around her waist. Noticing his brothers discomfort Sesshomaru grinned slightly and put his arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her really close.

"Ok now we have to jump."

For some reason Sesshomaru had to make it dramatic. And so he did by jumping high into the air to plunge into the well. Of course Kagome was so surprised her arms flew around Sesshomaru's neck and causing her to pull her own body closer to Sesshomaru. And within all of these events Inu-Yasha is going off the chain. Miroku's silently giving Sesshomaru props. Sango is laughing slightly. And Shippou was wondering what the hell was going on that was so angering, impressive, and funny. Soon nothing was heard. Kagome and Sesshomaru had gotten through the well.

"Damn it! That bastard! How dare he touch Kagome like that? I swear I'm going to kill him." Inu-Yasha cursed black and blue after that comment.

"But you must admit, that was pretty smooth the way he got Kagome to put her arms around his neck… If only I could jump that high!" Miroku mused.

"MIROKU!" Sango shouted taking a battle position but broke out in laughter instead.

"It's funny because it was his way of torturing you Inu-Yasha. He knows how much Kagome means to you. And you fell for it so easily."

Shippou also started to laugh because he finally understood everyone's feelings of the events that had taken place a few minuets before. Inu-Yasha growled at Sango's comment before asking Miroku and Sango to fill him in on what was up with Kagome. Sango and Miroku told Inu-Yasha about how Kagome had talked to Sesshomaru and accepted his offer to work at his castle as a maid. Inu-Yasha protested that Kagome shouldn't be a maid but no one else really cared. Everything happened too fast. They all decided to wait for Kagome by the well. They had questions to ask her if her Lord Sesshomaru allowed it.

Authors note: I'm done on Friday but you guys are only going to read this Tuesday. I'm evil aren't I? Lol anyways. It's weekend so I'll probably finish the next chapter too so I will be able to post the 9th chapter next Thursday instead of Friday.

Favorite Quote of the Chapter

Of course Kagome was so surprised her arms flew around Sesshomaru's neck and causing her to pull her own body closer to Sesshomaru. (God, just imagining that and having Inu-Yasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou to watch it made me laugh SO hard.)
