Smile Like You Mean IT

Chapter 29: Illuminati

He looked at her, just slightly shocked that she would run into his room and tell him that the snow is falling. Just slightly. He raised, yet again, another eyebrow and looked at her questionably.

"Yes, I can tell, it IS snowing." He said in a mock tone.

She shot him a glare. "Well, I noticed this too and would like you to come out with me and the kids while it snowed..so..get something warm on, now, please." she said turning on her heels and walking off rather fast as she quickly walked into her room the kids all puffed up on her bed waiting for her. She smiled and quickly dug into her bag pulling out, THE SLYTHERIN UNIFORM ( dork snort). She wrapped the green and silver scarf around her neck and dragged the two kids out into the white darkness.

The kids screamed when something ice cold hit the back of their heads and Kagome stood with a demonic look about her. She piled another handful of snow into her hand and sent it flying, lightly mind you, toward Rin. Shippo, being so manly, squeeled and dived in front of Rin pushing her out of the way.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US KAGOME?" Shippo said from beneath the snow bank.

"No. Pick some up, make it into a ball and throw it at me, I cant believe you've never played with snowballs." She said snorting a bit (snort snort snort snort snort snort snort snort sorry).

Shippo popped up with a big ass ball of cold fresh snow raised over his head he gave a quick look and flung it toward the miko who stood there all dramatically so it would have an affect on Shippo.

She let the newbie kids pelt her with a few frozen snowballs then she took action again, making the smallest and softest ball to throw at the young ones and just tossed it over her shoulder hearing Shippo give out a squeal and Rin giggle a bit. It hit Shippo.

"Miss Kagome.." Said a cold voice behind her. She froze and turned to see a rather ill tempered demon lord looking back at her, his silver hair matted against his face with melted snowball.

She smiled a nerdy (snort) kind of smile and whistled turning around and scampering off in the other direction. She hid behind a tree and slid onto the ground grabbing some snow and stuffed it in her mouth covering herself with the scarf.

She obviously watched too much Samurai X cause the snow trick only works in ninja Anime's so she was kinda screwed and the lovely Sesshomaru saw her breath and was silently perked in the tree above her without so much as a droplet of melted snow.

She sighed and huddled together cause sadly it was only a good 20 degrees outside and she'd be DAMNED to get frostbite. Yummers. A heavy gust of wind ripped past her taking the scarf with it and she instantly got to her feet to catch her beloved scarf. As soon as she was up off the ground she tripped over something. Something Black. Something belonging to Sesshomaru. That something just so happened to be his foot.

"Resorting to trivial tripping? Childs play my good man, child's play." She hissed to the ground and got up on her knees. "who knew the mighty Western lord was such a kiddie. A Cheater." She stuck her tongue out and scrambled onto her feet and ran rather criss-cross to the now frozen over garden and hid behind the large dead rose room. Where Shippo and Rin seem to have taken as a hiding place as well.

They looked at her semi-accusing like and then turned away back to poking the dead redish black flowers. She sighed and looked over the frost covered windows out onto the court yard where she didn't see the brooding master of the house.

She slumped against a old rose box and looked at the kids as they were having there little..fun time poking, yes poking, dead roses. She raised an eyebrow and looked forward trying not to laugh and get caught, but hell, she's hiding from SESSHOMARU, so yeah, he busts through the door, shattering a few windows and looked at her rather p-oed.

She smiled again and laughed nervously.

"Yes? How can I help you?" She asked in a rather Wal-Mart Employee way.

"Why did you throw that ball of snow-"

"Snowball"

"-snowball at me?"

"It's a snowball fight! Isn't that just TOO obvious? Hello, even the children get it.." She said looking off scratching the side of her head.

"Well, I wish to speak with you, in my chambers, in 15 minutes, no excuses (OOOHH, reminds me of Snape!).

She looked down then back up at him nodding slowly then turned towards the kids as he huffed off.

"Ooh, Kagome got Sesshomaru-Sama angry."

"Great, just what we need.." Added Shippo angrily.

"You can handle it, he's only one guy, it's not like he's going to rip your head off..just mine.." She added the last part in a sort of whisper.

"Don't worry, I'll stay outside the doorway, to keep you safe!" Shippo said now sounding braver.

"Thanks, but no thanks, I wouldn't want you to get hurt for snooping or something stupid like that." She said waving it off like nothing.

Shippo looked at her and smiled. And she saw this making a mental note that he was going to stand out by the doorway like she said nothing against it. That's the way she raised him..

Sango winced with pain as Miroku started to rap up her feet which were extremely cut up from the dryness in the air seeing as winter came. Ever since they left Kagome in the hands of Sesshomaru she's been in a terrible mood, attacking anything she sees fit to deserve a punch. Miroku used regularly.

"Can you be still for once! I can't get this right unless you stay still!" Miroku pursed on her as she grumbled and shifted to one side.

"Kagome can wrap a wound better then you." She mumbled her eyes slightly tearing up.

Miroku didn't look up but knew the expression she wore. It always covered he face when Kagome's name came up. On more then one occasion he's fallen asleep cradling the young demon slayer as she cried most night. He sighed a bit thinking that maybe he was going to have to do the same again tonight with her now mentioning Kagome more then a normal day.

"Why did we leave her!" She said in-between gasps and sobs. "Why did she stay!"

Miroku gulped, he knew the reason but if he told her she'd freak. He couldn't believe it half himself. If he was correct, the only reason Kagome had willingly stayed with the cold demon lord. Was because she loved him.

Miroku shuddered at the thought and looked up at Sango's tear filled face.

"Tell me..I know you know." She said looking more angry then sad.

"You wouldn't like it. It's not exactly true either." He said lowly, speaking more then he has since they left Kagome.

"But it's something! Something to work with! We have to get her back!" She hissed.

"Its..difficult."

"Tell me, you self centered monk! Tell me!"

He continued to look at her and frowned. She growled and slapped him wanting to know the answer. Even to the guy she was fighting to decide wither she loved or hated him.

"Miroku.." She cried. Looking at him as he looked at her with an unfaltering expression. She leaned in and grabbed the purple kimono and cried into his chest.

Miroku frowned looking at the wrecked demon slayer and held her. There was nothing else he could do. She continued to weep and soon she sounded as if she couldn't cry anymore. Miroku stopped stroking her back and looked at her, dead in the eyes.

"Miroku..why wont you tell me?"

"She loves him."

Sango looked up at him rather angry, then the face he made changed her expression into something even he didn't know was real.

"Your..serious."

"As serious as I've ever been. The only way she would stay there and protect him, was because she loved him."

Sango felt her heart crash. She left her friends for a demon lord. She felt angry. Yet Sad. She wanted her sister back. Wither it meant taking her from the guy she loved. But she wanted her to be happy. She was confused in a fog of emotion.

"Miroku I don't understand." She whispered into his chest as she grabbed the fabric harder.

"I know you don't."

"I want her back."

"We all do." The quietness stretched again as he rubbed her back as more sobs broke the air. Miroku was going to have to get used to this. Seeing as Kagome may not be coming back to them, Sango was going to be crying a lot.

"Miroku, I want to be like her" she whispered.

He looked down at her deciding what to say.

"What do you mean?"

"To be loved.."

"You..are." He said lowly. She looked up at him and saw him with his eyes closed his arms still around her waist. She blushed and looked off to the other side and rested her head against his chest.

"And you are too."
