Smile Like You Mean It
Chapter 30 (WOW): O Green World
She clicked down the hallway and ran into a maid.
"Excuse me, can you do me a favor?"
"Lure, anything."
"Great, can you and one of your friends stand by Sesshomaru's door and watch for a little Kitsune?"
"Of coulse" she said with her Japanese accent.
Kagome smiled and glanced at her watch then bounded down the hallway. She stopped in front of the door that she visited barely an hour before. Having to be there by request reminded her of the last time, where he obviously questioned her sanity and if she actually knew what she was here for.
A sudden chill crept down her spine and she raised her hand to knock. Silence was broken and she for some reason placed her hand on the left side of her neck as sudden pain surged through her.
The doors creaked open and she walked into the dark room the only light being a lone candle.
"Hello? Sesshomaru?" She asked the darkness in a very horror movie style. She walked towards the candle yearning for some light.
"Sorry, he won't be joining us tonight he's been distracted…"Said a familiar arrogant voice. The candle moved closer to her and soon she could see Ozymandias's face clearly. He looked down at her and smirked.
"What are you…?How did you…?" She mumbled badly.
" Very easily, we have a connection a very small one but one that will allow me to track your presence." He grinned knowing how screwed she was "Nice man, that Sesshomaru, almost instantly jumped to action when I informed him that his eastern gate was on fire. Set it myself."
"You knew I was coming to meet him here?"
"I've been watching you play in the snow, without a care in the world, blocked out from reality." He hissed at her quite angry that she had forgotten what he took from her (never piss off a Vampire, never, it never turns out right! Bad Kagome!).
"You sick bastard."
"Ah, well, I can change what you think of me, being an elder has its advantages." He said brushing a cold hand over her hair.
She jerked her head back and her lip curled in disgust. "don't touch me" She said through clenched teeth. He lower his face to hers and walked ahead knowing she was going to step backwards with every step forward he takes.
"Why are you being so venomous with me He did something to you, Sesshomaru, the lord of the western land." He stated lowly and glowered at her.
She didn't say anything but being so nervous forgot not to scream her words in her mind, completely forgetting the older vampires extra ability over younger ones and humans.
"Him? How dare you, I'm much better then him! Why do you like him?" He said with calm face but angry laced through his words.
She backed away more her skull crushed lightly against the shoji doors. She didn't answer she didn't need to. He placed a hand her shoulder and one near her waist.
"I understand." He growled getting closer to her. "I'll leave but I'll be back." He barked and backed off , dropped off the candle and hopefully disappeared out of the room. She moved off the wall and started to stagger around.
A creak echoed in the room as she tripped over a large off the floor closet. Luckily Sesshomaru has a sense of style and had the bed near the large closet so her head just barely hit the soft futon.
She lifted herself up and gently sat on the futon. She cupped her face in the palm of one of her hands while the other one was rubbing the ankle that went face to face with the heavy wooded dresser.
Silence was still in the room a few times a maid would giggle and break that silence. She sat there for a few more minutes before getting up dismissing the idea that he would be back that night, let alone that few moments.
The maids looked at her weird as she left. Hell, I would look at her weird if she came out desperately rubbing her head and wide eyed.
She walked into her room and grabbed stuff for a bath then rushed to the bathing room, trying to get there as quickly as possible she hated the feeling of Oz on her.
She stayed only in the lower level library and piano/art room after her shower. The sent of Irish mountains followed her as she rushed between the two rooms doing random things to keep her nerves down. She refused to go up into the upper level.
She liked the art room cause she could paint. And at that moment she was painting an eye with long thick black lashes and a bright and overly light green pupil staring, what it seemed like, through you.
She placed her brush in the bucket of water and washed it out vigorously. She stopped and looked into the shimmering gray water and blanked out going into her own world or mystic beauty (with professor Severus Snape...YUM!).
A hand gripped her shoulder and snapped her into reality. She jumped and whipped her head to the side getting a good face full of silver hair.
She moved the few strands of Sesshomaru's hair and looked up at the brooding demon lord who, still had his hand firmly resting on her shoulder.
"S-Sesshomaru…" She said lowly in her paranoid voice and wide eyes.
"There was a fire-"
" on the eastern gate." She finished his sentence subconsciously.
"How did you know?" He asked sternly but a little curious.
"Er- a maid told me." She said smiling a bit. She turned back to her brush and started getting more paint off of it and the others trying to ignore Sesshomaru. She had no desire to inform him that a vampire who stole her virginity was here, was in his room, and tried to do something to her, and possibly him.
She gasped and stood up running from the room and literally pushing Sesshomaru to the side as she darted down the hallway and heading up the next levels stairs, forgetting her old fear as a new one made its stay.
She opened Shippo's room and he wasn't there then praying to a god she's never prayed to before that day opened Rin's door and saw them both sitting on her floor playing a mindless game of chutes and ladders (she brought it, taught them how to play, but their kids, what do you expect?).
She smiled weakly and started crying. She fell to the ground and walked over to them on her knees and gave them a big hug.
"Shippo! Rin! Thank god." She mumbled after a second of the strong bear hug.
"What is it Kagome?" Shippo asked without a care in the world.
"Nothing…just…be carefully. Shippo I want you to watch Rin with your life if you two aren't by my side…Shippo will be watching out. Right? You will, you'll have to…" She mumbled insanely.
Rin just looked frightened and Shippo puffed out his chest like the brave little warrior he was.
"Right Kagome, I'll watch out for her. Don't you worry."
Kagome looked at him with a tear streaked face and smiled letting them go.
"Thanks, but try and be with one of us more then you having to protect her if you would." She said looking down, now hating herself for even agreeing that feel nights ago, she brought everyone in danger, her new family in danger.
"Kagome…Come with me, Shippo watch Rin like Kagome told you to. Kagome with me, down the hallway." Sesshomaru said from the doorway, he must have heard the conversation and her worried tone because now he was actually curious what has gotten his lovely guest in such an odd behavior.

Inuyasha sat staring at the new couple across from the fire from him. His arms where crossed and he looked downright evil. He doesn't have anyone now. Kagome was gone, and Kikyo (thank god) is dead. Now he had to deal with these two going all lovey-dovey on him.
He growled a bit, a thing that was completely missed by the other two as they semi dozed off with Sango in Miroku's lap and a blanket over them.
He stared a bit then huffed and rolled over to another side and jumped into the closest tree and wrapped a blanket over him. Miroku most of heard him take off because he picked Sango and walked into the hut they were using that night.
Inuyasha just started at the unforgiving moon like it was the devil itself. He closed his eyes tightly and his mouth twitched with anger. Just what he needs. Another couple to stop being mushy gushy near him. Especially now, when all the people he loves and loved gone or dead.
Wouldn't that be a nice intruding feeling? Your with your girlfriend or boyfriend and this other chick or dude comes by and just steals them away so your sitting there like…WHAT THE FUCK? And then you notice your Ex a few yards away just minding their business when one of your friends walks up to them an murders them.
Joy to the world! The bitch is dead! Sorry that was my Christmas joy for the month. Anyway. He opened his eyes not being able to get sleep and jumped off reluctantly going into the hut and curling as far from the sleeping couple as possible without falling out of the said hut.
