Smile Like You Mean It
Chapter 10: Commit This To Memory
' I'm madly in love with him…' Even the echo in her mind didn't seem quite right.
Kagome Turned onto her Stomach Staring at the wood floor.
She knew it was true.
She loved him.
It wasn't to be avoided.
But It still didn't seem right.
I mean…Hello?
She was a Miko that Was sent here to purify the Sacred Jewel ( after breaking it….) After Realizing she was a reincarnation of Kikyo.
And he is the Demon Lord Of the West…. With a Human, Dare I say, 'Daughter'.
It just doesn't seem right.
But lately, every time she was around him she'd get this sick feeling, she'd have a headache, stomach ache and pain in the chest.
It was confusing, Which she found out the hard way, Meant she liked him.
She knew it wasn't actually love, a older crush maybe, She knew that until she could see herself growing old with them, she was in love.
But she couldn't see to much into the future with him, maybe she is, only because he looked the same and she was slightly different didn't mean that it wasn't a 10 year passing.
God this was confusing…

Koga was walking now, after receiving a few nice hard hits from Sango's Boomerang.
"Damn you woman."
" Well That's what you get for Laughing at me while I Was being molested verbally by Inuyasha! No Not Damn me! DAMN YOU!" Sango yelled from the top of Kirara.
" Remind me why I'm walking?"
" Because, I know you've lost their scent too so you have to stick with us." Miroku chirped.
"Your just as annoying as That Woman up there!" Koga twitched.
" Well, If you Think before you Act, you wouldn't have a lump on your head now would you?" Sango asked.
" You know what? Shut up!" Koga said turning his head to the side.
" Ah, and it looks like we have an equal to Shippo in our presence…" Miroku said adding a cheerful laugh. Now he knows how Inuyasha felt when Messing with Koga.

Kagome gave up the war inside her head and walked over to Rin's room. She rapped on the door softly and heard Rin welcome her into the room.
She stood at the entrance and watched as Shippo and Rin played with little wooden horses.
"You guys want to go into the garden?" She asked nicely.
Rin suddenly dropped her toy and stood as stiff as a board next to Kagome.
" YIP!" She almost yelled. Shippo joined her on the other side of Kagome.
They walked (or should I say bounded?) to the garden entrance.
Shippo and Rin were bent on finding the perfect of roses and lilies and blossoms to make a flower crown for Kagome and she was watching as they ran playfully around in the field.
She looked up contently at the clear blue sky. She has always wished she could fly. To join the clouds in the cheerful sun, or rest in the middle of a rainstorm, staring down at the superficial people running away from the rain, thinking it will ruin their new Hollister shirt or Mess up their newly done hair.
She frowned.
' I hate the world. Stupid foolish people only trying to impress the other people surrounding their unimportant lives.' Kagome Blinked. That didn't sound like her.
Well, It used to never be like this, but ever since the resurrection (That's a H.I.M. Song, By the Way…) She's been slightly far from Life, She knew she'd end up being killed or die sometime, but she thinks she's going to die young. And the creepiest thing about that is she watches weird paranormal shows and one time the lady told the audience that people who die young usually feel that they don't have long to live.
She was dragged out of her thoughts by Rin placing her flower crown on Kagome's Head.
"Here Kagome-Chan!" She giggled and Shippo Huffed.
Kagome smiled and put Shippo's Crown on too.
" There Should we go in?" They nodded.
Once inside she noticed a few maids running around and tripping on their slippers. She walked over to one and tapped her shoulder.
" Miss? What's wrong?"
" A few others heard" Huff "That the Shichinin-tai" Huff "Are after Lord Sesshomaru.."
" Why Sesshomaru?"
" I don't know but that's the rumor."
Kagome sighed she remembered the Shichinin-tai, Bankotsu, Jakotsu. She forgets the rest because they died so Quickly, but who can forget a Dude carrying a snake like sword, and Another one who carries a sword twice the size of him, that lifts gravel from the force of the wind underneath it, and calls it his baby? No one that's who.
Kagome stood up and ushered the kids to Her room where they sat on her Futon.
"Ok, We have a rumor flying around that the Shichinin-Tai are after Sesshomaru, Shippo you remember Jakotsu and Bankotsu?"
The Kitsune nodded.
" Well, If it's true, Sesshomaru, Err, Trained me to protect you, So Yeah, Trust me!" And if the axe fails I'll use my Arrows… Was the unspoken words.
They nodded and walked slightly cautious to their rooms.
Kagome stared back out at the now semi dark semi Light day sky and sighed.
"Why do they have to come now?"
" Why does who have to come?"
She turned to face a poker faced Sesshomaru.
" Oh you haven't heard?"
" Iie."
" Uh, Well lest we worry you! No need to know!" She waved it off.
He looked at her with annoyance flickering in her Golden Eyes.
She smiled a faint 'please-don't-kill-me" Smile.
He looked at her for a moment then turned to leave.
' I'll tell her tomorrow…'
&
Koga sat on a rock, kicking his foot against it to rid himself of anger.
" WOMAN! Why do they take such long baths?" (Seem familiar?)
"Koga, Get over it, Every stop we take she takes a bath, and it takes a long time…"
" PFT! That's why it will take three more walking days to get to Sesshomaru's place!" Inuyasha muttered.
" Hey, I could run ahead of you guys and be there 2 days before you!" Koga lifted his hands up in the air and turned his head making an odd face showing how fast he was it's almost illegal.
" But you don't know which way to go…" Miroku stated simply.
&
The dinner passed as all the other dinners I've written gone.
Kagome got up to take the kids to their rooms.
Once in the hallway she noticed the Commotion died down up also noticed a maid running u to her.
" Hai?"
" Miss Kagome, Lord Sesshomaru Wishes to see you." She bowed.
Kagome bowed and started off in the direction of the Library.
She lightly tapped on the door and received a 'Haitte Kudasai' For a response.
She walked in and bowed when she saw Sesshomaru.
"Hai? You wanted to see me?"
" Yes I have something to tell you…"
She perked up slightly.
"Hai?"
"Tomorrow, We will be attending a ball, Of course it isn't for another week but the traveling and preparing takes some time, so be ready tomorrow…"
"NANI!"
Sesshomaru looked up at her.
" You really need to control the volume of your voice, Kagome." Him saying her name normally gave her the shudders. It was odd not being called Miko, Wench, or Ningen.
"Hai, Gomen…" Her eyes twitched and she walked shakily out of the room.
' Is this considered a…a…D-date?'
A date, With Sesshomaru. To a ball none the less!
' I swear this is a good thing…'
