Smile Like You Mean It

Chapter 40 (it will end sooner or later): Doro Darake No Seishun

Waking up refreshed was something Kagome couldn't do unless she was in Sesshomaru's arms while she slept. So for two nights out of her life she slept well!

When she woke up she quickly got dressed before our beloved Sesshomaru did and stood by the open window (yes bars on the fan but open windows).

Soon Sesshomaru was standing right next to her with two duffle bags full of cloths.

"ready?"

She gulped. "yeah."

It didn't take long to bust the window open, wrap his arms around kagome's and just leap out of the building of course now she'll have to move or stay in feudal Japan or maybe they didn't care about insane asylums escapees.

The cold air froze her face and the other clothing-free body parts as he whipped around the air and soon landing on the roof of the well house. He dropped her carefully to the cement ground and he followed soon after.

"Okay, I need to get things and bring them back and whatnot" she waved it off looking around quickly. "Let's go now and maybe we can make it back for dinner" She gave and oddly happy face.

He raised a thin eyebrow and shrugged (omg I love you fluffy sessho: did you just call me fluffy? Me: O.O maybe…). He grabbed her around the waist and jumped into the aging well.

Once on the other side he let her go for a brief moment. Nothing changed, for some reason she expected everything to be in flames or something of the sort. She sighed and allowed Sesshomaru to pick her up and make the long but still short trip to his castle…palace…you know after near forty chapters I still cant think of a name for this damned place.

She was greeted with glomps from Rin and Shippo who were all too happy to see her and she whispered a few words that sent them to run away.

"What did you tell them?" Sesshomaru asked watching her pack some things.

"I told them I was counting for hide and go seek"

"isn't that lieing?"

"a bit of a white lie wont hurt much." she sighed packed the rest of the things subtly into her backpack and smiled. She looked at Sesshomaru and sighed again.

"Ready." She said putting the ton book bag on her back. Sorry im fast forwarding it to the sacred well (still in feudal era).

She stared into the well and jumped onto the ledge wobbling and then straightening out. She watched Sesshomaru land gracefully on the other side and they both jumped in (haha I can see them hitting their heads or something).

Inuyasha snored loudly as Miroku and Sango tipped toed away from the dying fire.

"Sango…He's INSANE!" Miroku whispered resting on a rock near a river close to them.

"I know I know, he must think the baby is the spawn of satan or something."

"like I said he's jealous that he's not going to get a piece of Kagome"

"You know I don't care really if she loves Sesshomaru as odd as a couple it is, but the idea of her carrying his baby seems Wrong, very very wrong."

"Plus what would he do to it? And she's human…he has that pure hate for humans thing going on and he hates half breeds more and isn't that what the child would come out to be?"

"Yes…its all very confusing. But hey, she's a girl its what we're suppose to do. Confuse you guys."

"Oh so that's the evil master plan is it?" Miroku scooted closer to her and smiled wickedly. "I quite remember a good month ago I confused you with my mad sex skills (can you see him saying this? And wiggling his eyebrows, cause im making him wiggle his eyebrows)"

"Oh my…your helpless."

"then why do you love me?"

"Who said anything about love?"

Miroku looked like someone just shot him in the face.

"WHAT?"

"im kidding of course" Miroku sighed "maybe"

Miroku pouted and looked over to the rock with what looked like sheer determination to find a sexy mermaid.

"do you think we should head back?"

"Why not" Miroku mumbled and stood up helping Sango and walking back. When they got to the hut Inuyasha was glaring death into the fire.

'the scent of death' Miroku said to himself as he watched Inuyasha slowly turn his head to face the couple. He put a forced smile on. Sango could have sworn she heard his jaw creek with the effort.

"Inuyasha?"

"If your going to talk about me atleast talk about me in front of me"

"But if we did that you'd kill us" Miroku blabbed.

"you know…Miroku, you're an idiot. But I love you." Sango sighed shaking her head.

Kagome felt sick to her stomach leaving the kids without saying goodbye. She was standing in front of the well with Sesshomaru.

"Hey…can I just go to my side without you? I promise ill come back." she pleaded with the demon lord.

He raised his head a bit and looked at her like a scientist would a failed experiment.

"Fine."

She stood up on the lip of the well and glared into its dark depths. She stared until she stepped down with the feeling that someone was going to push her into the well.

"Sesshomaru." she said in a monotone voice.

He looked at her raising an eyebrow.

"Yes?"

She stepped towards him and looked at him with tears in her eyes. She adjusted her book bag and got on her tippy toes pressing a light kiss on his cheek. She smiled again walking over to the well and sitting on the lip again.

"I love you" and with those words (as cheesy as it is bear with me!) she tossed herself into the well and disappeared leaving Sesshomaru staring at where she once stood with his eyes a little wider then normal and his mouth slightly open in shock.

It took him what seemed like years to actually step forward and place his hand on the wooden object, He knew she was up to something. He sighed and jumped into the well landing with a thud.

"Hell…" he mumbled as he looked up and saw the night sky instead of the darkened roof of the well house.

He felt like kicking or killing something which ever came first. He cursed multiple times and climbed back out of the well and tried to jump back in it. He did this five times before giving up and leaning against a tree wondering how she got him locked out.

He wanted to scream but he's too emotionally masked to do that. He cursed again and headed for the one person that could help. And sadly he wanted nothing to do with his younger brother.

&

Kagome breathed deeply and cried silently against the side of the well house.

"I had to do it for him. He…doesn't care and im just a nuisance." She crossed her arms and pulled her legs up and started crying deeply. "fuck…this sucks"

&

Inuyasha almost choked on his tongue when he saw Sesshomaru step through the bushes near 4 in the morning.

"What the HELL are you doing here!" he hissed right away his hand on the tetsugia.

"I have come with no reason to fight."

"Has that ever stopped you before?"

"how do you get through the well" Sesshomaru asked ignoring the comment Inuyasha made.

"Why?"

"No reason of yours."

"Tell me why and ill tell you how to get through and if you hurt Kagome im going to kill you."

"I didn't hurt her dog brain. She…went through the well and I cant get through."

"You need something of hers to get through. Now go away" Inuyasha said fluttering his hand in a get-lost-fuck-you matter.

Sesshomaru stared daggers at him then turned and left and made a beeline to the western lands. Once he was home he looked around and cursed himself for letting her take all her stuff.

He grumbled and walked up to his study to pout and be emo alone and once he got there he almost fell over in a very anime style when he saw a shiny silver disk sitting on his desk.

He walked over reading it carefully and smirked to himself.

And for once the A Writers Reference CD came in handy.
