Smile Like You Mean It

Chapter 41: Clever Sleazoid

Kagome was almost whistling, (make sure you read the authors note!) of course she was only doing this to try and ignore the fact she was sad as hell, how does that saying go? 'If I talk and laugh too loud its because im trying to forget that im sad?' yeah that's it.

She placed a few clothing items in the new bag and smiled all the while. After zipping it up and staring at her handy work she stepped back and sat at her desk taking out a rather old stationary paper.

Dear Family,

No this is not a suicide note, I've sunken too far below that level, its more like a run away note. I've gotten out of that god forsaken place and escaped with my sanity. Hopefully we'll see each other somewhere down the line, but please, do this one thing for me, don't go looking for me. I will come back. Let me straighten things out.

Mucho Love,

Kagome (insert smiley face )

She sighed again and quickly put her backpack on and did a very Inuyasha move by jumping out of her window onto the sill below it and another hop to get onto the ground. She surveyed her surroundings and ran to the well house where she quickly jumped in.

After transferring to the other side she slammed herself against the wall and stood there silently until she was sure no one was out there.

A few minutes past and she was booking full out towards the forest.

She leaned against a tree and smiled contently to herself. Now she was on her own…

Sesshomaru stood in front of the well.

"her scent is everywhere…she came back." he said lowly before dropping the CD and turning around hoping to be able to track her down in time.

Kagome smiled and kicked her feet happily in the lukewarm water. She was lucky to find an abandoned hot springs a good mile off of the well. Her smiled faded and she stared at the rippling reflection of herself.

"this wasn't a good idea…" she mumbled. "I mean coming back here…" she was now full out talking to herself. She swiveled her feet again and started humming trying to get the undying fear that one of the Brothers were in the shadows watching her.

She hummed a little louder and starting digging through her book bag dragging out a spiral and writing a short diary entry.

Dear Die-Ary,

I guess I better start keeping one of these, to keep my sanity you know? Anyway I have this feeling something is watching me but then again I am in the middle of a forest. I wonder if it's a little bunny? That'd be so cute. Haha, I got off subject anyway I don't know how long I'll last I've never been one to go off by myself for too long. Bet you next week I'll either go home or find Sesshomaru.

Love,

Kagome

She smiled to herself and placed the book into her book bag.

"Ah le sigh, tonight is too beautiful to be spending alone." she said to herself looking up at the perfect night sky. The clear bluish black sky mocking her with it's beautiful stars. She had an urge to punch the sky but would that get her anywhere?

She sighed and got off the rock planning to walk some more eat something and find a place to hide herself until the morning.

She stretched and placed her heavy backpack over her shoulders and started in a soft walk in the northern direction. It wasn't long until she was on a path and had that unnerving feeling that something or someone was following her.

She picked her pace up a bit and started making random turns and turns and jumps and trying to get to a place to hide, but that's only because she was getting seriously paranoid by this point. Maybe because every time she traveled it was with a group of people or at least one other person.

She stopped and turned around so if there was someone there they'd run into her if they weren't paying attention and made a big deal of taking her headphones out and putting her favorite techno cd out. She draped the headphones around her neck and turned the volume up so she could hear what was going on and hear the music.

"shut up and sleep with me, why don't you sleep with me? Shut up and sleep with me, come on uh huh and sleep with me" she said to the song, she had no reason why she liked the song but she was very attached to it.

Twenty more minutes and she was drifting asleep on a random cave like enterance, she told herself to screw the food and sleep cause she knew she needed it. Under her slightly awake hand layed a unused razorblade incase something unwanted awoke her.

It didn't take long before there was a random noise in the tree above her and she sat wide awake with her hand on the razorblade ready to slash someone. A few sakura leaves fell in front of her and she froze as two black feet landed in front of her, along with the rest of Sesshomaru's body.

"If you wish to stay hidden playing a song and singing loudly to it does not help your stealth." he said walking towards her steadily.

"Well excuse me for not being a Sasuke…" she mumbled. He just looked at her questionably then shrugged it off.

"Your coming back with me."

"Says who?"

"Me"

"Make me"

"I don't make monkies I train them (hahaha no he didn't say that)" what he really said- "Your acting foolish. You. Are. Coming. With. Me. There is no getting out of this, Kagome." he narrowed his eyes when her name crossed his tongue. He was obviously getting irritated.

She stayed in her sitting position against the mouth of the cave and started at the large gap where Sesshomaru fell through in the beautiful Sakura tree.

"Such beauty, and you ruined it. The dark cloud on a sunny day." She said aloud not answering his demand and switching into a more mature mood.

"why did you leave?"

"…its going to rain soon…"

"Was it something I did?"

"…the flowers will drown…"

"Why?"

"…the leaves will fall off…"

"Answer me."

"….all the mud with make the farmers angry…"

"Kagome."

"…why does it have to rain?"

"Kagome. Answer me." He stepped forward and bent down picking her limp body up to stand awkwardly in front of him, her gaze still focused towards the sky. "Why did you leave?"

"reasons"

"What reasons?"

"The same reasons why I ignored your questions, the same reasons why the flowers are going to drown."

"how do those two relate?"

"only the slaves know."

"slaves?"

"to the papers and words, and well written sentences, the slaves to creativity."

"Your making no sense."

"I make no sense to you because you think the logical way, open your mind, take in the beauty and speak what your mind is telling you-" she was rudely interrupted by Sesshomaru roughly covering her mouth with his. Earning him a shocked squeal.
