High Chapter 3
Hey! I'm back again here with Chapter 3, and this one made me think a little harder, and you'll see why!
Still staring at her with the strange eyes, Sesshomaru could feel his inner beast somewhat taking over half of him at that moment. Sesshomaru, let us play with her, eh? I like to see her being so afraid of us, his beast told him. Sesshomaru tried to shrug him off, but instead it took over part of him, wanting to play this 'game'. He drew Tokijin out, and still smirking at her answered,
"It depends on how well you play, Wind Sorceress Kagura."
In a brief moment, Sesshomaru quickly ran towards her, and thinking, this is too easy, she swished her fan in a delicate movement shouting,
"Dance of Blades!"
The small blades came from her fan and begun to move to Sesshomaru, who easily repelled them with his sword. Each one of the blades made a hitting sword and a quick flash came from where it hit the blade. Sesshomaru repelled my attack? She thought, then quickly dodging the blade that came before her. His eyes still in amusement. He took quick swings at her, quickly dodging them each time he swung, and then she back flipped, being only a few feet from him.
"Kagura," He called to her. "This Sesshomaru thinks you should move faster, or my Tokijin may strike you into two."
She leaped back up into the air, shouting out "Dance of the Dragon!" Where a large gust of wind shot down from the sky, surrounding Sesshomaru in a whirlwind. She lightly giggled at Sesshomaru, who was stuck in her whirlwind like a small puppy in a cage.
"Hah Sesshomaru!" She chuckled in delight. "What makes you still stuck in my whirlwind, eh?"
It was only a moment after when she felt his presence behind her again. He stared at her with his amber eyes. Both of them were caught in an eye match, not looking anywhere else except into the set of eyes before each other. Again, feeling this was another put to her demise, she begun to move backward, this time with her hands. He, still gazing into her eyes continued to follow her. It then came to a moment where a tree stopped Kagura. She looked back up at him, filled with terror, and gasped for air as Sesshomaru picked her up from her neck, and pinning her to the tree. Instead of the prickly spines before, she was pinned to the long furry boa that he wore on his right shoulder, as if it was a trophy. She growled at him, asking to be released from this position.
"So," Sesshomaru sighed. "Now that this Sesshomaru has you kept down, what was it that you wanted to ask of this Sesshomaru? This shall be your final question, Kagura." He loosened his grip on her throat, only so that she could speak. She coughed lightly, and then glared back up at him with pure hatred.
"You know Sesshomaru," She continued on. "Before you decided to strangle me as I was going to ask you, but now I don't feel obliged to."
"You will Kagura!" Sesshomaru growled deeply, scaring Kagura out of her skin. "This Sesshomaru has grown in patience before with you, but now it is growing thin. Hurry up and then this Sesshomaru can go and continue on with his tasks." Kagura then saw a small green glow coming from Sesshomaru's striped hand.
"Sesshomaru…" Kagura whispered.
"Yes?" Sesshomaru coldly growled.
"What do…you think of love?" Kagura asked him.
"…Love…?" He slowed down, now thinking of the question given to him. He let Kagura drop down and then he sat beside her against the tree. His eyes seemed to go back to normal, Kagura thought. Maybe I brought him back down from his strange moment there. Sesshomaru finally felt his inner animal back down, for he did not even know the answer to that question. Sesshomaru was mainly the whole physical soul of that body they shared, and his beast was simply his demon form. He then glanced back at Kagura, who had a faint stripe of pink across her light skin. He wondered if it was a personal question for Kagura.
"This Sesshomaru thinks of love as a bond between two souls, and not as the soul purpose of simply mating," He coldly answered her. "This Sesshomaru has many 'loves' before, but all were reckless and not of, a real love. This Sesshomaru's purpose is to rule my lands and snatch my brother's sword, and not to be found being over taken by 'love'."
"Oh…" Kagura said softly. "Well, that's all I wanted to know, I guess I should go back before Naraku notices I'm gone." She slowly began to walk away from the Tai Youkai until his deep voice asked her another question.
"Why did you ask this Sesshomaru such a question, Kagura?" He asked her. She turned back around to glance at him against the tree. His head was cocked over to the side looking curious, and his amber eyes looking back into hers. She could feel the heat off of her cheeks rising. She quickly turned around and answered him. "Just wanted to see if the Lord Sesshomaru was able to love," She then slowly drew the feather from her hair, before saying her last words to him that night.
"And to not be like the Ice Prince he is so known to be like."
As she took the feather from her hair, she felt hands touch the back of her neck, quickly turning her around. Her already flustered face was turned around back to see the stoic Lord's face. He put a clawed finger under her soft chin and looked back at her.
"I think that question was more than simply seeing if something was true."
Sesshomaru looked at her beautiful face as it turned to another shade under the moonlight. The moon, now facing more to the west, glowed in front of her face. Something had happened to him that night when he wanted to kill her. He did want to strike her, but looking at that face of terror made him not, instead, he went as weak as letting his inner beast play with her! He couldn't have that happened now, for since that question that was put on him, puzzled him since he knew not of why Kagura wanted to know so badly. When they were fighting, she could have just left him there, but instead she let herself be held down by him. He needed to know so he wouldn't be left there in pure thought.
"It was just a question, and nothing more!" Kagura growled. "Now release me and let me go!" She began to struggle underneath his grasp on her, and he then took her feather away.
"You can't get back without this, you know that." Sesshomaru smirked at her.
"I can get there another way, without the trouble some interruptions by you!" And at that, Kagura jumped off the hill, Sesshomaru quickly looking down to see her die to her death, but instead he saw her slowly flying away, on a small demon cloud that she had inherited from being a demon. How come she never used her demon cloud before? He wondered, and being curious, followed her. Kagura gazed backwards, only finding that Sesshomaru was following her.
"Why do you still follow me?" Kagura asked him. "Don't you have those errands you wanted to get to?"
Sesshomaru still gazed at her as they floated higher and higher to the stars, and now, all around them, looked in curiosity. "This Sesshomaru can get to them later. But why did you ask that question to this Sesshomaru?" As they continued on flying, he finally caught up with her, now both floating in mid air as the stars swirled around them like a bunch of fireflies.
"Because…I love you Sesshomaru." Kagura answered and then went in and kissed him. Sesshomaru was shocked, she loves me? But how? She and I have always hated each other, or did we? He took her into her arms as the kiss deepened, and he closed his eyes, taking in the passionate kiss she had given him. Kagura felt Sesshomaru's tongue licking her lower lip for entrance to her mouth. She couldn't believe it. She had finally told Sesshomaru that she loved him, and now they were kissing in between the stars. Wasn't it just earlier that she was fighting for her life? It didn't matter now. She then opened her mouth for him and his tongue followed in shortly after, fighting with her tongue for dominance. She lightly moaned in his mouth as he tasted her mouth, and then they slowly broke the kiss. She had to pant so that she could catch her breath again, but then she noticed something. Sesshomaru, the Great Lord of the Western Lands, was panting. After her first kiss, she had him panting? I must be a good kisser, she thought.
As they separated, Sesshomaru still couldn't believe it. He watched her as she said good night and then flew away from him. He then realized that Rin and Jaken were still awaiting his return, and then sighed as he flew back down onto the hill. He walked for some time until he came to find Jaken and Rin arguing over a tongue twister.
"Sesshomaru-sama! You've returned!" Rin shouted and then attached herself to his leg, hugging him. His lowly retainer, shouting in glory of him, then later greeted him.
"Lord Sesshomaru-sama! Did you defeat the awful demon from earlier?"
"Demon?" Sesshomaru asked him.
"Yes! I sensed the evil aura of a demon approaching, and you told us to take shelter, for you did not want us to be killed!" Jaken cried in exaltation.
"Yes, that Demon…"Sesshomaru continued. "Yes, this Sesshomaru took care of the Demoness."
"A Demoness?" Jaken shouted. Sesshomaru then only glanced back up at the stars and the dying moon, now making it's way back into the west and the sun beginning to peak in the east.
"Hai, a Demoness…"
Well, that's the end of Chapter 3! Wasn't sure if I was going to put that last part into another Chapter or not, but I chose to. Now, I'm thinking of making a sequel to this story, only it may be a little more darker, per say. But bring in those reviews of yours and I'll write soon! (I hope)
