You and you alone can save me
Part 1: And interesting outing
By: Kuraii-chan
Kuraii-chan: Whew, and here is another chapter for ya wonderful reviews. (Yes, I'm purposely ignoring those who only read. :D;;)
Kagome: Err, Kuraii-chan?
Kuraii-chan: Mmph?
Kagome: How come you don't ever your bold of italics in your fanfics? You know how to use them, don't you?
Kuraii-chan: -.- Yes, I know how to use them. It even works on my little profile thingy, but my evil computer won't let it work for chapters. Gay ass piece of crap….. mutters darkly
Sesshou: Kuraii-chan?
Kuraii-chan: What? :snaps:
Sesshou: Hanyou, I come to apologize and you use that tone? This Sesshomaru will not stand for it!
Kuraii-chan: You came….to….apologize? (is amazed)
Sesshou: Yes I did…
Kuraii-chan: :open-mouthed: Really? For being such an ass last time?
Sesshou: :evil glare: No, for handing out dandelions to strangers. What do you think!
Kuraii-chan: AWW! :hugs: Thank you soo much Sesshou-kun!
Sesshou: Hn…
Inuyasha: You two can be mushy later.
Kuraii-chan: Inu, there is some ramen hidden in the kitchen just for you.
Inuyasha: Really? For me? :runs off to find it:
Sesshou: Baka.
Inuyasha (from the kitchen): I HEARD THAT!
Sesshou: …
Disclaimer: Honestly, do you really think I own Inuyasha? Lemme spell it out for you, NOOOOOOOT-MIIIIIIIINNNNE! (But Kyo-kun is! :wicked look: ) (Revised)
AN, IMPORTANT: If the part of the conversation up there about the bold/italics makes no sense it is because when this was originally typed I was unable to use them, but seeing as I have now revised this chapter it contains those things. I didn't in any way edit the content of my imaginary conversations though, so that is why it's like that.
"Are you ready yet Lady Kagome?" Kyo had quit calling her 'Kagome' after receiving a really frosty look from Sesshomaru for his informality.
"Almost!" called Kagome from behind the door in her room. She had decided to redo her ponytail because it looked like she had just been through a tornado, and still it was being stubborn.
She had also begged Kyo to get her an attire much like the one he wore. She knew Sesshomaru would be royally pissed at her for wearing a guard's uniform, but at the moment she didn't care. How the hell was she to be expected to run around and play with Rin in a kimono?
She couldn't, it was a simple as that.
He had reluctantly agreed and now she had changed. Her new outfit consisted of a royal blue kimono that reached to her knees and was tied loosely at her waist with a black obi. She also had on some black leggings that reached to her ankles and a pair of matching black shoes.
She frowned at the mirror and turned a few times.
Then smiled.
It didn't look half bad.
Easing the door open Kagome smiled at Kyo whose outfit looked almost the same except his obi was a velvety red, with a black kimono. The only similarity was the black leggings and shoes.
And oh how Kagome suddenly wished she had a camera with her because Kyo's expression was priceless.
His jaw didn't seem to be working because his mouth was hanging open, and his eyes were a bit wider than Kagome had ever thought possible. But then he was a youkai right? So anything was possible…
Stifling a burst of laughter Kagome tried her hardest to slip into an expressionless mask like Sesshomaru always wore.
"Kyo-kun, if you keep your mouth open that wide for a few more seconds you might catch something I wouldn't exactly call delicious."
Kyo promptly shut his mouth with a small click and looked at some imaginary item on the wall while mumbling, "Um, that outfit doesn't look half bad on you… you know, with you being a girl and all."
"Thank you Kyo-kun! Now, lets head out before Sesshomaru sees me and forces me to change."
Kyo looked astonished, "You don't possibly mean he would change you for you if he so desired?"
Kagome gave a rueful smile, "I hardly doubt it. He thinks because he's Taiyoukai of the Western Lands that he can make everyone do exactly as he says." She stuck out her tongue and scrunched up her nose.
Kyo grasped his scythe firmly hoping to hold back a grin. It didn't really work though, and he grinned.
"Now come ON Kyo-kun, lets go. Oh oops." She grabbed the long black cloak she had found in her backpack.
She tugged it on so covered all her new clothing from prying eyes and grabbing Kyo's hand pulled him along after her.
"Almost there," she mumbled under her breath, they were about ¾ the way to Ah-Un when a bright voice stopped Kagome cold.
Which caused Kyo to run into Kagome's slender back.
"Onee-chan! Rin is so happy that Sesshomaru-sama said that Onee-chan could come." Rin flashed her a toothy grin.
"And Onii-chan too." Said Kagome suddenly.
"Onii-chan?" Rin said confused.
"Onii-chan." Kagome imitated Rin's earlier demonstration and simply pointed to Kyo.
"Ooh! Rin understands now." Rin said with a few quick bobs of her head. Then she grabbed one hand of both her 'Onii-chan' and 'Onee-chan' and skipped happily towards Ah-Un leaving behind very unhappy Taiyoukai.
It wasn't that Sesshomaru was frowning but his glare was filled with enough ice to freeze hell.
He had obviously overheard the conversation and wasn't exactly pleased at this new turn of events, but followed the three to the two-headed dragon all the same.
"Ready Sesshou-kun?" Kagome asked nervously. She had decided to keep using the pet name she had made for him.
Even if it meant risking the Lord's wrath she figured that it was a cute nickname and he would keep it.
Sesshomaru stared at the three as Kagome convinced Rin to call Kyo 'Onii-chan'.
He it was grating on his nerves.
No, must've been lunch.
Wait, he hadn't had lunch, maybe the lack there of?
'Baka, quit making excuses. You know seeing Kyo get all this attention from BOTH females is making you jealous, especially where Kagome-chan is concerned.'
You are mistaken. And if I didn't know better I would say you were quite taken with that useless nigen.
'Of course, I AM you after all. Well, your conscious anyway.'
Sesshomaru decided to ignore that. Perhaps someone had put a curse of some sort on him without knowing it. That was the only excuse he could find for the odd voices that kept talking to him.
So he took his annoyance out on the figures that were happily walking towards him.
Or more like he really wanted to, but settled with just glaring instead. Maybe he would practice with Toukijin later. Or go hunting. Either would do.
"Ready Sesshou-kun?" Kagome asked with false cheeriness. He could smell how nervous and uncomfortable both Kyo and Kagome both were. So they had noticed his less-than-friendly looks had they?
"Hai, are you?" His voice dripped with even more ice than his glare had contained.
Even Rin noticed.
"Is Sesshomaru-sama alright?" Rin asked worriedly.
"Hai Rin, I'm fine. Are you ready?" He asked once more staring pointedly at Kagome and her cloak, which billowed gently as a random breeze passed by.
"Yes, we are ready! Aren't we Kyo-kun?"
Kyo nodded, "Hai."
"Good! So Sesshou-kun, how are we going to get there?"
Sesshomaru gave her a look of questioning.
Duh Kagome, ask the obvious!
Sesshomaru gave her a funny look.
"We are riding on Ah-Un."
"Ah." Said Kagome nodding.
"Wait, but isn't there only enough room for two?" Only now that she looked had she noticed that.
Sesshomaru nodded, "Hai, which is why both Kyo and I will sit down and one of you will each sit in our laps."
Kyo gave Sesshomaru a startled look; obviously he had not known either.
As soon as he had answered Sesshomaru had climbed up onto Ah-Un and motioned to Kyo to sit behind him. Kyo followed orders and climbed up behind him placing his scythe behind himself. He obviously had great faith that it wouldn't fall and be lost forever.
Unconsciously Kagome started towards Kyo and Rin to Sesshomaru but both were stopped by a voice.
"Rin I want you to sit in Kyo's lap." Rin pouted but obediently climbed up into Kyo's lap.
That left only one spot left…
Right on Sesshomaru's lap.
Gulping nervously Kagome looked hesitantly at Sesshomaru missing Kyo's glare that was directly to the Taiyoukai in question.
Sesshomaru only stared down at her as if daring her to complain or refuse.
So she did the only thing she could; Kagome climbed up into Sesshomaru's lap. And surprisingly enough it was rather comfortable.
But no sooner had she settled herself and made sure that none of her hidden attire was revealed than Ah-Un had taken off.
"Eep!" Came her terrified squeak of complaint to the sudden movement. Jolted Kagome felt herself slipping sideways, well until a pair of hands grasped her waist and steadied her.
With a grateful sigh Kagome turned her head to thank Sesshomaru for saving her and despite his still icy glare and arrogant stance she did just that.
"Thank you Sesshou-kun."
"Why do you insist on calling me that onna?"
Kagome did her best to glare evilly at him for ignoring her earlier comment but found it kind of hard to do considering that she was sitting in his lap and facing the opposite way no less.
"Well why haven't you complained before now if it bothers you so much?" Kagome huffed.
A question for a question, beat that your highness!
All right, she knew that she was being childish but he could really piss her off sometimes.
"Hn." Was the arrogant reply.
With an annoyed look Kagome turned back around and decided to stare at the scenery that was rushing by.
Perhaps that would take her mind off the pain she was now experiencing.
Mental note, do not turn around, your wounds have not fully healed yet and are protesting violently against being twisted and jerked around.
Well duh, whose wounds wouldn't hurt?
Finally Ah-Un reached the ground in the middle of an open field. The grass-covered ground was littered with all sorts of flowers and the smell was incredible.
Gently Kagome slid down Ah-Un's scaly hide and landed softly into the field. In absolute awe Kagome took a few steps away from Ah-Un and closed her eyes. She inhaled deeply, the smell was relaxing and seemed to be calming her once burning wounds that had been threatening menacingly to reopen.
The wind's gentle caress soothing; almost as soothing as the sound of the bubbling creek that was now residing on the other side of the meadow.
"Wow," Kagome said breathlessly, "this place is amazing!"
Her eyes had remained closed so she was blissfully unaware of Kyo and Sesshomaru's gentle stares. And Sesshomaru's silent approach.
"You like the scenery?" asked a low voice in her ear.
Startled Kagome jumped and found herself face to face with a smirking Taiyoukai.
He really must've enjoyed scaring the shit out of her.
Kagome found herself smiling and nodding.
"Hai Milord."
Whoa, where had that come from? Can you say random?
Never mind, she could say random. How more random could you get when you are in Futile Japan, with the-person-you-have-a-crush-on's brother who just happens to be the Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, and are enjoying yourself in a meadow of flowers?
She didn't think it would get any more random. (AN: Neither do I for that matter. :D A bit of fluffiness, ne?)
Sesshomaru looked a bit startled by the formality but quickly slipped back into his usual expressionless mask.
"You are beginning to sound like Jaken." He muttered before turning to Rin who had been anxiously tugging on his hatori.
"Can Rin, Onee-chan, and Onii-chan play now?"
"Hai Rin."
"Yay!" Rin latched onto Kagome cloak and wrinkled her nose. "Onee-chan, must you wear this large black thing? It will be harder to play in!" she complained.
Kagome nodded. "Hai Rin, it would make it hard to play." She began slipping out of the large concealing cloak quite aware of the expectant watch of the cold Taiyoukai.
Rin began giggling upon the sight of her without the cloak. "Onee-chan you look like one of Sesshomaru-sama's guards!"
Kagome just smiled, "Hai, I do don't I Rin?" She stole a quick peek at Sesshomaru. His look was priceless but Kagome didn't want to be around when he finally registered what he was seeing.
"Come Rin! Onii-chan! Lets play 'tag'! What you don't know how to play? Why then I must teach you!"
She hurriedly brought Rin, Kyo (after he had propped his scythe up against a nearby tree), and herself a nice distance away from the still stunned Lord.
Perhaps he wouldn't notice? No, that was stupid; of course he would notice she was wearing the attire of one of his guards!
Well, she could only hope he wouldn't react to it to violently.
Kuraii-chan: Well? Part one is done! Review, review, review! 'Tis something many people don't seem to want to do. BUT I WANT YOU TO! :sniff: I only have… errr… :counts:… 3 new reviews from the last chappie!
Inu cast: Awww, how sad.
Kuraii-chan: Yeah, if not many people want me to continue this fanfic I won't. It all depends on how much support I receive! So if you don't review and tell me what you are thinking then I might just decide to stop writing this fanfic and begin a new one…
Chibi kitsunebi: Thank you so much, I changed it just for you! You like? Please continue to review!
ReginaLucifer: I know, isn't it so cute? Of course I think Rin/Sess pairings are all wrong, she's too YOUNG for him! Do you people not understand that? Eep, sorry. :sweatdrop: I got a bit off track huh? Anyways, please keep reviewing!
yukioh2021: And a third time! Ya know, you ROCK! If only all reviewers (or people) were like you….. pocky? :offers: You deserve it for continuing to review!
Kuraii-chan: Hmm, since nobody ever reads the print stuff I always add I'm gonna try something. At the end of your review say 'Pocky!' and you will get some from me! (and add the flavor you want too so I know what flavor to give out to ya) :D Tee hee! And now I want to recommend a story! (Cause I'm weird like that and suddenly want to,. Perhaps a desire to take up as much space as possible? Nah.)
This chapters Recommendation: 'The missing link' by Emilio. It's a Kag/Inu thing but I like it and it was the first fanfic I ever read that was actually a GOOD story. :D And because I respect this story and author so much, I will not butcher the summery!
