High Chapter 2
Hey, Happy New Year to every one out there reading! I just checked the reviews again, and just to let people know, if you don't like reading Kag/Sesshy stories, then why are you even reading them? I put down on my disclaimer that this is a Kag/Sesshy pairing, so reminding every one out there, if you don't like this pairing, don't read it! Any way, on with the story!
It wasn't much longer until a long whoosh of wind came by the group, quickly awakening Rin who was just about to fall asleep and the Toad demon nearly blew away, if it wasn't for Sesshomaru that grabbed him.
"Oh Lord Sesshomaru-sama! You saved me from that gust of wind! I am so grateful!" Jaken cried tears of joy.
All Sesshomaru did was glance back up into the skies, where a familiar figure on a giant feather was seen in the distance. Faintly, but still fast approaching.
"Jaken. Take Rin with you to a safe distance."
"But why, my Lord?"
"Jaken, this Sesshomaru does not need to repeat things again, does he?" The Inu Youkai sternly questioned his retainer.
"Right!" Jaken shivered with fear. He ran over to take Ah-Uh with him to a safe clearing at least a few miles away, tripping occasionally on his stubby feet. Whatever it could be Lord Sesshomaru wants us to be safe! I better take the girl and myself away from this place, he thought.
Shortly after Rin and Jaken took off, the feather landed in thin air and Kagura lightly jumped down in front of him.
"Well, if it isn't the great Lord Sesshomaru," She slyly spoke. "I'm surprised to find you gazing at the stars also."
He simply gazed back at her, and then looked back up.
"This Sesshomaru does not answer these stars calls every night," He coldly replied. "It's as if they are all souls. Each beckoning to be redeemed for their troublesome past lives."
She slowly walked over to him and then brought her fan up to her face and begun to swish it back and forth. How dare she mock me in such a way, he thought to himself. How every single time this Sesshomaru sees Kagura she teases him and does not treat him with the proper respect that this Sesshomaru is usually given. (A/N: Sorry for all of the This Sesshomaru x Infinity, it's just how he usually speaks.)
"So, Sesshomaru," She asked him. "I take it you're wondering why I am here."
"And why are you?" Sesshomaru scoffed. "Again asking to kill that half spider demon for you, Wind Sorceress?"
Kagura slightly growled. He still thinks that I am asking him such questions, again? No matter, I'll simply let him guess. Kagura then went and sat down on the lush grass that soon nestled down from all the wind. She then gazed at the twinkling stars.
"I'm not here for that, Sesshomaru." He glanced at her, somewhat curious to why she was here. He slowly walked over to her, not making a sound, and continued staring with interest.
"Then why do you stall this Sesshomaru?" He asked her.
"Well," She continued on. "Back in Naraku's new castle, it gets rather boring and dull, so I decided to go and look for your brother, Inuyasha and his comrades. But instead I found you here walking." She then turned around to face him. She slowly smirked.
"There's a reason to why this Sesshomaru was walking, but it's none of your concern." He simply answered her.
"Oh, is it?" She slyly asked him. "I thought I could keep your secrets to me also…"
"That is enough!" He barked and in an instant, Kagura found herself being strangled by the Great Tai Youkai, his eyes freezing her over.
"Do you know who that you're speaking to?" Sesshomaru growled deep within his chest. Her crimson eyes darted at his, slowly beginning to glaze over. She continued on to struggle against his grasp.
"Ses.. shomaru…" Kagura spoke between gasps of air that were lost by Sesshomaru's tight grip.
"Hai, the great Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands, and don't you forget that." Sesshomaru snarled. "You are simply a detachment, and you think you can tangle this Sesshomaru like an insect in some spider's web? This Sesshomaru thinks not. Kagura, learn your place in this world, or that Naraku may dismiss you earlier than he'd expected." He then let her go and she dropped to the ground like a rag doll. Coughing, she glanced upwards at his menacing eyes, and she uttered three small words.
"How…dare…you!" She yelled at him. It was then she realized what she had said, she thought of how her life would be executed by him. She slowly began to move backwards, her elbows moving her with each movement, and he glared at her.
As she said those words, Sesshomaru felt the chains on his inner beast begin to loosen, the insane animal side of him beckoning to be set free. Let's kill her, feast on her flesh! You know it's what you would want to do Sesshomaru. Don't let her get away! His beast yapped at him. He then tightened the chains for only a while longer, only so that Kagura wouldn't see his 'other side'. He slowly walked towards her, with small delicate steps. He could smell the fear growing off of her body.
With each step, she grew more and more in fear of him. She could smell the burning anger on him, and his face gave her no answer to her either on what he planned to do to her. Looking to her right, she could see her fan that she dropped to the side by accident when Sesshomaru choked her. She, still moving backwards, went and reached for her fan. As she did, she found the Lord suddenly behind her, his breath tickling the nape of her neck.
"Why do you plan on leaving?" His deep voice surrounding her. "I thought you had something to ask me, Kagura." He silently brought his claws up to her, holding her down with his body and showing his hand that trickled with poison. She tried moving away from the spikes on his armor that nearly impaled her just as he pinned her down. In a last attempt, she caught Sesshomaru off guard and smacked him right across the face. He looked shocked at what just happened and she jumped away from his hold on her.
"Get away from me! Dog!" Kagura shouted. She made it quite clear that she didn't want Sesshomaru going anywhere near her, but he somehow was having quite fun tormenting her in this manner. Knowing that the toad and the girl were far away, he chuckled lightly.
"Well well," He smiled which was rare to see on the stoic lord's face. "It seems that we've started a little game. I guess I'm it." Kagura looked at him confused, wondering what in the world happened to the Ice Prince. She looked into the strangely warming pools of amber and asked him.
"What do you plan to do to me?" She asked him. Still glancing at her with strange eyes, he reached for his sword.
"It depends on how well you play, Wind Sorceress Kagura."
Well, that's the end of Chapter 2! I had a reviewer earlier saying that chapter 1 sounded like an episode, and in a part, it was. Kagura was simply remembering the night were she had offered shards to Sesshomaru as a proposition to kill Naraku for her. I think that was from "Naraku's Barrier and Kagura's Decision" and "The Wind of Betrayal Blowing Out of Control". Just letting people out there know about that, and Chapter 3 should be up soon!
