Chapter 11: More Surprises

Sesshoumaru waited for Kagome in her room, wondering what was taking her so long. He had enough time to think of another scheme to make her embarrassed and amusing, and had enough time to prepare for it. Now he lay in her room, on her bed, waiting for her. Where in the hell was this girl? Did she take an hour long bathroom break?

Sesshoumaru sighed, and lay limply on the bed. Being patient was very tiring. He yawned, and closed his eyes. Maybe if he rested his eyes, she would come quicker. He snapped open his eyes, and rubbed his temples. This was no time to be falling asleep. He would be the one turned out to be embarrassed. No, he wanted to embarrass Kagome, not himself.

He lay on the bed for a few minutes more, sighing every 5 seconds. He was becoming very impatient. He decided to get up for a minute, so he could wake his body up.

He stood up, and stretched. He looked around himself, and saw nothing of interest. He walked over to Kagome's dresser, and opened the top drawer. He noticed her panties to the left, and saw some odd piece of clothing to the right. He curiously picked it up, and held it with his thumb and index finger. He eyed it curiously, wondering what this contraption was, and what it was used for.

He placed it in both of his hands, and looked it over. It had two big cushiony round things on each end, with strap looking things coming off of each of the round things. It was purple and lacy, and had a small bow in the middle of the two round things. What was this used for? Sesshoumaru looked back in her drawer, and noticed a few more of these things, in different colors and variety. Did she wear these things?

It was a wonder at what these things were used for, and Sesshoumaru decided to ask her later. He wanted to know what these things were, being the nosy demon that he was.

He turned around, with the odd piece of clothing in hand, and noticed a change in the room. Why was it all of a sudden so breezy in here? He looked up, and saw that Kagome was standing in the doorway, with her jaw dropped, her eyes wide. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes, and shook his head. What a wonderful way to ruin a surprise! He sighed, and opened his eyes, to look at Kagome. He had some deep explaining to do...

------------------

Kagome stared at Sesshoumaru, bewildered. What in the hell was he doing in here? And at that, with nothing but his pants on, and he was holding her bra! What brought him to even be in her sight, half naked, going through her bras? She could only imagine. She finally noticed the blank stare on Sesshoumaru's face, and figured that he was pretty stunned too. She guessed he didn't expect her to come into her room, for whatever reason why.

She decided to speak, to finally break the silence.

"Uhmm...Sesshoumaru...what are you doing in here...holding my...uhm...bra...with no shirt...on?"Kagome studdered out, putting her arms behind her back, and drawing circles with her foot. She needed a distraction to herself. She wouldn't dare look at Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru was too out of it to answer her question immediately. What was he going to say? 'Well, Kagome I wanted to surprise you with my toned body, and your 'bra' in my hand?' No! He couldn't say that to her. He actually didn't plan the explanation to what her reaction was going to be in the first place. He decided to just tell her the truth.

"I wanted to surprise you, but I got tired of waiting for you. I decided to take a look around your room, and I came upon this." Sesshoumaru held out the bra. "Now, would you please explain to me what exactly this thing is, anyway?"

Kagome was shocked. He looked in her underwear drawer? What was his problem? Did he not know anything about privacy? She finally realized what his question was. He wanted to know the point of a bra? Did he never see a bra before? She was sure that some girls made their own here...but he's never seen one? And now she had to explain to him what it was for? Oh, this was going to be tough.

"Well, miko, I am waiting for an answer. Again, what is this thing used for?" Sesshoumaru was growing impatient. He never waited for what he wanted.

Kagome had no idea how to tell him what a bra was. She decided to just tell him in the most simple, easiest way possible. Even if it was embarrassing.

"Thatthing, that you hold in your hand, is called a bra. It holds my...breasts...so they wont...move...when I walk or run." Kagome tried to explain what a bra was used for. How was she supposed to explain to him that a bra was just used for holding your breasts, and to help them from sagging in the future?

Sesshoumaru took a minute to gather in what she just said. This thing was used to hold up breasts? What was the purpose of that? He froze for a minute, and then smirked. If this thing was used to hold up breasts, then that meant that Kagome was wearing one right now, right? He chuckled inwardly, and decided to play stupid with Kagome.

"I do not believe you, miko. You say that this thing is used to hold up your breasts? How am I supposed to know that this is not somethingthat could kill me, and my warriors and servants? I want you to prove your reasoning to me, miko." Sesshoumaru smirked. He loved putting the miko on the spot. it was so much fun.

Kagome eeped. Sesshoumaru wanted her to prove to him that it was used for what she told him? But the only way to prove it would be to...show him! She thought quickly. There had to be a loophole out of this. She snapped her fingers, and came up with an idea. She walked toward Sesshoumaru, and grabbed the bra out of his hand, showing him the parts of a bra, and their functions.

"This, is the sup of the bra. It holds your breasts, and there are many different sizesof thesecups, depending on the size to a girl. These are the straps, to go over your shoulders, holding the cups in place, and these are the other straps, that hook together in the back, to keep the bra on. Do you now understand how a bra works?" Kagome smiled, and crossed her arms in front of her.She was proud of herself,for getting through the loophole.

Sesshoumaru still smirked, though, and stared at her menacingly. he chuckled.

"Miko, I did not ask how the functions of this thing worked, I asked you to prove its functions." Sesshoumaru smiled, and waited for Kagome's response.

Kagome's jaw dropped again. She thought she found her way through a loophole, but Sesshoumaru just made it harder for her! She figured that the only way to prove it was to show it to him, so she sighed. She bowed her head, closed her eyes, and began to take off her shirt.

Miroku was stuck playing with the kids, again. He now knew how Sesshoumaru's servant, Jaken felt, when he was stuck with Rin. They were such energetic little things! He thought they would never tire. He decided to tell them it was time for a break. He wanted to see how Kagome was doing with her departing of Inuyasha.

"Rin! Shippo! It's time to go in!" Miroku called out to the two little ones. They came running back in an instant.

"But, Miroku! We want to play more! We want to play more!" The two kids cried. Miroku laughed, and shook his head.

"All right, you guys can still play. But Miroku is going to go inside, and check on Kagome, ok? I want you guys to be safe, and stay within the garden!" Miroku laughed when the kid's faces lit up.

"Oh, we will, we will! Promise!" The two ran off, leaving Miroku standing in place. He laughed, and shook his head again, turning around to go toward the castle. As he walked to the castle, he noticed the beauty of the garden. It had many different varieties of flowers, many trees, many selections. He figured that Sesshoumaru wasn't as cold as he seemed to be. He obviously cherished beauty.

He made his way to the door, and walked in. He walked through the hall, upstairs, and to Kagome's door. he heard voices inside, one was Kagome's, and one seemed to be Sesshoumaru's.

'Oh...so it seems that they are in her room...alone? I wonder what they're doing...'

Miroku snickered, and cracked open the door, just enough so he could peep in, to see what the two were doing. What he saw made his jaw fall to the floor. There stood Kagome, with her shirt off, pointing to several different parts of her bra, and there stood Sesshoumaru, watching with a smirk on his face, also with no shirt on. What in the hell were the two doing?

Miroku watched for a few seconds more, until he lost his footing, and he fell face first into Kagome's room. He felt the eyes stare upon him, and he thought he was going to die for a second. All he heard next was: "MIROKU! YOU PERVERT!"

Miroku cringed when he felt the fist on his head. He knew he shouldn't have peeped in on them. He knew he would be found out.

Sesshoumaru glared at the monk, agitated. He had ruined the moment for Kagome and himself! He was very pissed off.

"Monk, leave at once. This is no business of yours. Leave now." Miroku scampered to his feet, made a quick bow, and left in an instant. Kagome stood there, dumbfounded. Now Sesshoumaru AND Miroku had seen her partially naked! Sesshoumaru had actually, though, seen her fully naked!Oh, how embarrassed was she!She looked to her feet, finding interest in them once more.

Sesshoumaru looked from where Miroku left, to Kagome. She was blushing, and trying to find interest in her foot. She was so funny. Sesshoumaru made a small laugh, causing Kagome to look up at him. He looked her in the eyes, and laughed even more. Kagome just cocked her head at him, wondering what was so funny.

Sesshoumaru stopped laughing after a few seconds, and looked at Kagome. He stepped one step closer to her, and gently grabbed her chin. Kagome hitched a breath in her throat. What was he going to do?

Sesshoumaru leaned closer and closer to her, and turned her head. He whispered in her ear, causing shivers to go up and down Kagome's spine.

"Until next time..."

Sesshoumaru let go of Kagome's chin, and turned his back. He strode toward the door, opened it, turned back to Kagome, and looked at her once more. She stood there, with a blank stare on her face. She looked so innocent. Sesshoumaru smiled, and closed the door behind him as he left.

'Two strikes, one more to go...'

--------------------

Sango sat on the dragon's back, that belong to Seekou. They had left early that morning, around5 or so, and had taken off to look for Kagome and all. There had been no trace of them at all, whatsoever. She didn't have the nose of a demon, so she couldn't smell them out, and Seekou had no idea what they smelled like, so there was no hope in that either.

Sango sighed, and lay her head down. They had traveled for over 8 hours now, and still no trace. They covered the whole of Inuyasha's forest, and had even stopped to ask Kaede if she seen them.When she answered to, she lost even more hope.Where were her friends at?

Seekou noticed Sango sigh and put her head down. Her scent had changed, and it seemed sad. She was losing hope in finding her friends, and he knew that. If there were only some way to make this search easier...

Seekou scanned the area for anything that seemed odd to him. They were closing in on the Western Lands, and he noticed a change in the air. Something seemed distressed, so he decided to land.

Seekou got off of his dragon, and told Sango to wait there. She nodded her head, and put it back down, trying to rest her eyes. Seekou walked a distance, trying to find what was in such distress. As he walk, the scent got closer and closer, until he found it. There sat a youkai, a spider youkai, against a tree, mumbling to itself. Seekou got interested, and decided to go ask the youkai what the matter was.

He approached the youkai, and it looked up to him. The distressed youkai noticed that the demon who approached him was Seekou, and he nodded his head. Seekou walked closer to him, and asked him what his problem was.

"Why are you so distressed, youkai? I have sensed you from way up in the air. Do you mind telling me what's the matter?" Seekou tried to play innocent with the youkai, in hoping that he would tell him something.

The spider youkai shook his head lazily, and opened his mouth.

"Lord Sesshoumaru has sent me out...to find a girl...I have been told not to come back unless I find her...I have searched everywhere, but found nothing..." The youkai spat out. Seekou immediately gained interest.

"Youkai, do you know the name of this girl?" Seekou asked sternly.

The spider youkai nodded his head, and opened his mouth to speak once more.

"Yes, I was told her name was...Sango..." The youkai fell to his side, collapsing with exhaustion. Seekou's jaw dropped, and he ran back to Sango.Sango heard Seekou approaching, and opened her eyes to look up at him with confusion. Had he found them yet?

Seekou spoke quickly, to tell Sango of the good news.

"Sango, I think we have found your friends. They may be residing at Lord Sesshoumaru's castle. Come, we will go there now."

Sango was shocked. Why would they be there?

"Seekou...are you sure they're there? I doubt they would be residing there..." Sango spoke quietly.

The dragon lifted off. "Yes, Sango, we should check anyway. You never know until you do it, ne?" Seekou smiled at Sango, making her smile also. Gosh, he was so stunning... Sango wondered if they would ever actually 'have' something. She shook her head, and laughed to herself. She was stupid for thinking such thoughts. She looked ahead, and saw Sesshoumaru's castle. It was just as beautiful as Seekou's. Her heart started to hurt, for fear that her friends would be hurt, or much worse, dead. She only hoped for the best.

'I hope you guys are ok...'
