You and you alone can save me

Part 2: And interesting outing

By: Kuraii-chan

Kuraii-chan: Holy shi----! You people rock! So many reviews… Wow.

Sesshou: But I must say, just because Kuraii-chan's friend Juliet chose to crit doesn't mean any of you should. Every thing in the story was done for a reason. -.-;;

Kuraii-chan: Thank you Sesshou-kun! But he's right, that's just annoying. I will tell them off when I reply to reviews later. Or maybe I won't. Who knows? Depends how bad a mood I'm in while I'm writing it.

Inuyasha: You lied. There was no ramen. -.-;;

Kuraii-chan: Wha?

Inuyasha: You said there was ramen in the kitchen during the last chapter. There was none. Shippou ate it all. :evil glare:

Shippou: Eheheh… :hides:

Kuraii-chan: Shippou! I even put a sign up that said 'Inuyasha's Ramen, DO NOT TOUCH!'… how could anyone miss that?

Shippou: Err… heh…

Disclaimer: Okay, I believe this will be the last disclaimer I put. -.-;; It's not only depressing me but pissing me off as well. Which makes for a worse mood then I was already in. Anyway, I DON'T OWN THEM! (With the exception of Kyo-kun of course. :D)

Just what the hell was she wearing! And where had she acquired the outfit of his guards. Wait… Kyo.

Figures. He seems quite taken with Kagome; it figures he would do this.

'But she manages to make it work for her. You cannot tell me she doesn't look good right now, even if she's dressed as one of your guards.'

…

'You know I'm right too.'

…

'Silent treatment, eh? Won't work.'

…

'Ah, alright! All right! I surrender. Consider me gone.'

Heh, I knew that would work.

Sesshomaru decided to let her have her fun now, but he would talk to Kagome later. He had prohibited her use of the outfit she called her 'school uniform' because it was rather indecent and he wouldn't allow any guest of his to be caught dead in such clothing. But that gave her no right to pull a stunt as extreme as this.

What was wrong with the kimono that she had been previously wearing? She had even looked rather nice in it.

'Ooooooh! Yep, I knew it. Someone's fallen. Hard.'

Ugh, what have I said/done now to make you go off again? And so soon too.

'You though she looked nice!'

Good enough for a nigen anyway.

'Uh, huh. Surrrre.'

But he couldn't deny it; Kagome had looked rather nice in that kimono.

… He could too deny it!

Because he hadn't really thought that she had looked good in it. No, must've been his imagination. Yes, that was it. His imagination. He still wasn't sure he possessed one though.

Kagome's rich laughter managed to bring him from his thoughts. Something nobody could ever manage to do. How many more 'firsts' would she pull? The first to defy him, the first to talk back and live to see the next day, and now the first to bring him from his thoughts; damn, he must really be getting soft.

Sesshomaru's golden eyes settled on Kagome's figure as it ran from a laughing Rin and a grinning Kyo, then Kyo tackled Kagome and pinned her to the ground. It was rather unsettling how much the sight disturbed him.

Kyo and Rin mumbled amongst themselves while Kagome, who was still pinned to the ground, strained to listen. Then the two grinned wickedly. Kagome seemed to panic.

"Eeeee! No, no! Anything but that! Nooooo!" Kagome's cries probably could've awoken the dead.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed dangerously, thinking the worst.

He really should've had more faith in the two, for as soon as he was about the 'rescue' Kagome they began their assault.

They were tickling her mercilessly. Ignoring her pleas, and tears from laughing so much.

A slender silver eyebrow rose and disappeared under the fringe of his bangs.

That was her reason for screaming for help?

"Sesshou-kun! Help me!" Kagome cried through her peals of laughter.

Well, now he had a reason to go over there and stop this nonsense.

He was at Kagome's rescue almost instantly. Hoisting Kagome off the ground and over his shoulder looked smugly at Kyo and Rin.

Kyo grinned devilishly.

Hn?

Kyo somehow managed to tear Kagome from his grasp and held her with one arm around her shoulders and the other snugly beneath her knees. Kagome, looking rather shocked and confused, glanced between Sesshomaru and Kyo. Then looked pleadingly at Rin who was just giggling and clapping in delight.

Kyo took off with Kagome dangling helplessly in his arms. Of course she wasn't exactly resisting either by the look of it.

Sesshomaru growled and took off after Kyo and Kagome leaving Rin in the field alone. Rin didn't seem to mind though; she just continued giggling and began cheering.

"Come on Sesshomaru-sama! Yay Onii-chan!"

Kagome tried her best to glare at Rin, "Traitor! What about me? Your Onee-chan!" Rin looked thoughtful but then shook her head. "Onee-chan is what Onii-chan and Sesshomaru-sama fighting over, ne? Then Onee-chan doesn't need cheering."

At that point Sesshomaru had caught up with Kyo and taken Kagome from him. Kagome just smiled at nothing in particular and Sesshomaru sped off to hopefully loose Kyo. Quickly Sesshomaru leaped and landed Kagome and himself safely in a tree and watched as Kyo hurried by looking rather confused.

He could feel Kagome shaking with silent laughter as she watched Kyo search frantically for the two of them. Sesshomaru peered down at the girl in his arms, her ponytail was drooping, the kimono was shifted at a slightly odd angle, and her face was flushed as if she herself had been running… It was amazing; a human shouldn't possess such natural and effortless beauty.

Kagome tried her hardest to keep from laughing aloud; all that would do is alert Kyo of just where they were hiding. No, it was funny to watch the youkai look for them, quite unaware that they were nestled in the tree just above him.

She then looked up into the face of Sesshomaru. So he had been staring had he? Hah, probably just silently mocking her about how bad she looked and how a youkai could probably manage to look presentable after all that. Much unlike herself of course.

And somehow the thought really bothered her. She didn't want to look so horribly, she wanted to look as good as any youkai. No, better then that. She wanted to be able to surpass all female youkai, to be the one of which could possibly catch Sesshomaru's cold, heartless, but beautiful golden eyes.

Wait, what? No, that was all wrong. She was in love with Inuyasha, was she not? So why was she having such fantasies about his BROTHER! Was she really that shallow? No, of course not. She wasn't shallow; or was she?

A crimson blush spread across Kagome's face. She could vaguely recognize the golden eyes that bore into her blue/gray ones and narrowed in worry.

A clawed hand brushed a few raven bangs from her forehead and was about to press the back of the hand against her skin when Kagome's own hand came up and grabbed the wrist.

"I'm fine," Kagome mouthed to Sesshomaru. He nodded and began to withdraw his hand, but found it rather difficult when Kagome refrained from releasing his wrist. She was looking at the magenta streaks across his wrist; it was something she had obviously missed before.

She slowly ran her thumb across the lines as if trying to remove them from Sesshomaru's skin. Then she looked up and brought her other hand to gently caress the same magenta lines upon the Taiyoukai's face.

Only when Kagome realized just what she was doing did she pull away from Sesshomaru as if he had suddenly caught fire and the crimson blush became even darker. "G-Gomen Sesshomaru-sama." She murmured softly staring at her hands.

She could feel Sesshomaru shift a bit and suddenly they seemed to be falling out of the tree. Kagome gasped and clung to Sesshomaru's hatori as if for dear life. And tried to ignore the streak of fire that ran through her body as Sesshomaru landed.

"Kyo," Sesshomaru snapped, "Kagome is hungry, now would be the ideal time for the food that was packed. You and Rin go set up, Kagome and I will be there in a minute."

Kyo, who had had his back to the two, turned and nodded but hesitated looking from Kagome, who was still clutching Sesshomaru's hatori in what could only be described as a death grip, to Sesshomaru who just glaring at the guard. Finally Kyo nodded once more.

"Hai Milord." Was his response and then Kyo turned and began towards Rin.

"Now, are you sure you are okay?" Sesshomaru asked.

Eheh, so he could tell could he?

"Fine Sesshomaru-sama. Really. My legs and arms are a bit sore but that's all. Honestly." Kagome persisted as she stared into the Taiyoukai's unbelieving face.

"If you're sure." Sesshomaru said in a tone that quite clearly stated that he thought she was far from fine.

But she would survive. Maybe.

He slowly began to tilt her form the right way and at the same time lower her to the ground. With a smile Kagome cautiously stepped onto the solid ground and timidly to a few steps towards the busy Rin and Kyo.

"Come Sesshou-kun!" She called. Reaching out she grasped his right hand firmly in her own and began on her way pulling Sesshomaru behind her.

His surprise showed clearly on his face but soon he had regained control. Sesshomaru had caught up with her slow deliberate strides easily and allowed himself to gently grasp Kagome's hand as well.
