Smile Like You Mean It
Chapter 9: I was a prayer
Sesshomaru spent the rest of the night studying the book Kagome handed to her.
So THAT'S What's happening with her, was the last thought before he drifted off to sleep.

Inuyasha let loose a loud sigh as he got near the Den.
"Thank Buddha we're here." Miroku said with a cough.
" Hey, Miroku" Inuyasha said facing the Monk. "I'm sorry for punching you."
" Holy Cripes did Inuyasha just apologize!"
" It's the end of the world I tell you!" Sango said from on top of Kirara.
"You guys are pushing it!"
" Heh, Well look what the Cat or should I say dog dragged in?" Koga Mocked from his perk on top of a rock near the base of the waterfall.
" Well, at least I don't smell of Cow Shit!"
" See, If I hadn't convinced him to bathe that insult wouldn't work!" Sango Whispered to Miroku.
&
Kagome Woke up with a sore back. She knew why though, So it wasn't such a messed up wake up call. She straightened her back and walked to the bathroom to do….um….'things' to put it lightly.
Shortly after that business she walked out fresher and slightly happier. She wandered around the building and soon found the garden and a Koi Pond. She sat at the edge of the pond and stuck a finger in the water. The fish wiggled softly beneath it. Trying desperately not to be poked by the giant Pale Finger.
She smiled not knowing their running from fear not happiness.
She stood up and looked around finding a nice big what looks like Dojo on the side of the Yard.
She walked inside and saw Sesshomaru Practicing some Moves.
She smiled and watched.
Shortly after her staring He noticed another person in the room.
He quickly jumped at the person and Gripped it's neck with his good hand.
Kagome scratched at the huge hand covering her neck.
After a few moments she was whimpering and crying slightly.
He dropped her now realizing who was in his grasp.
He stared at her form sprawled on the floor gasping for air.
" Gomen."
Silence.
" Gomen, I was just, Wandering."
More silence.
" I'll be leaving now."
" Iie."
" Nani?"
" Iie!"
" N-nani?"
" IIE! I'll be training you!"
"NANI?"
" Don't talk to me with such disrespect!"
He walked around the weapons searching for one that fit her. After a moment he came back with an axe in his hands.
" I'll be training you to use a Grey finish Double bladed Fantasy Battle Axe."
He put the Axe in her small hands and watched as her knees buckled under the weight of the Axe.
" Well, first you'll learn how to hold it."
&
Koga nodded absorbing all the information about Kagome he just received.
"So…You got my Kagome kidnapped?"
" first off, She's not Your Kagome, and second, Well, more like she had some sort of deal with Sesshomaru." Inuyasha stated.
" None, the less she was under your protection and you failed to protect her!"
Inuyasha winced. He hated the words you, failed, and protected in one sentence.
" Yeah sure, Now can we go?"
Koga stared at him then nodded and started to set off with the group.
&
Kagome sighed, flipping through her cloths. She just wanted to take a shower man!
She walked to the shower house and changed both southern and exterior things and got into the steamy hot spring like bath.
After that she changed to normal cloths and walked down to the dining hall.
She sat down and Sesshomaru gave her an uneasy glare.
" Gomen?" She offered.
He looked down slightly then started a conversation about the Shard while they were eating.
They had a conversation! Talking! The Miko Kagome and the Taiyoukai Sesshomaru…..dare I say….TALKING! (sorry)
After dinner the two (Sesshomaru and Kagome) Brought Rin and Shippo into their rooms. They continued walking until they stood out side of Kagome's door.
" Um, Lord Sesshomaru?"
" No more formalities. I think we are considered the First name basis."
" Hai."
" So….Nani?"
" Um, I just wanted to say, Thanks. For, Um, Everything. You know, I thought that being captured by you would be the most horrible thing. But after a few days I realized, it's like a normal life, Save the Demon lord hovering over me, and I kind of like it here." Kagome finished with a grateful smile.
He looked slightly confused yet relieved.
" Hai.." He said before walking away.
She sat on her futon and stared up at the Wooden Ceiling.
It's sad Really.
Too think. She actually enjoys staying here.
With a murderous Demon lord.
She continued thinking and watching a firefly slowly move it's way around her room to rest on the dresser.
After a moment she turned on her stomach and stared at the floor.
' I'm actually happy, To have trained with him today.'
She smiled.
' Yeah, Because you see….'
&
Inuyasha punched a rock near their fire.
" WE LOST THEM!" He screamed at the Demon Slayer.
" Why are you yelling at me! Your the one with the nose!" Sango shuttered.
Inuyasha twitched and started to yell with Koga who was in the background laughing.
&
She rethought of her answer to why she likes staying here.
It's not possible.
No.
Not at all.
' Hmm, Yeah, Well I guess the reason is…..' She considered her answer.
' I'm madly in love with him.'
