Chapter 4: Breakout

A/N: Ok…Sesshy may seem a little OOC…but I assure you he isn't THAT ooc ish... There will be explanations later in the story…

Disclaimer: Yeah yeah...I don't own Inu Yasha...but neither to 99.99999999 of you. So there...and yes I am acting like a child. pouts

"I like it!" cheered Kagome, glad that the mood was lifting.

"Not so fast ningens." A cold voice stopped them. Kagome frowned. Mood un-lifted.

"What do you want Sesshomaru?" she asked warily, standing in front of Ceres, one hand on her bow. Sesshomaru smirked.

"Simple. This Sessomaru…wants her." He said, pointing a clawed finger at Ceres who just stared at him.

Ceres stared at the demon before her. She had heard of this taiyoukai, and made it a point to stay away from him. His cold demeanor sent chills up her spine, but she would never show it. Instead, she walked in front of Kagome and planted her feet in the ground while crossing her arms.

Kagome gasped when Ceres moved in front of her, wondering what the girl was doing. Baka…she survived by herself here for how many years and you're trying to protect her. Deep down Kagome felt sorry for this woman. She could almost taste the sorrow when Ceres told her tale. It just struck a chord, and here the woman was standing in front of Sesshomaru, never flinching. Amazing. I want to be that strong. She thought silently. Then maybe Inu Yasha wouldn't have to try so hard to choose between me and Kikyo.

Sesshomaru's eyes widened for a fraction of a second when Ceres stared at him with his own patented cold look. Impressive. He thought, smirking inwardly. This Sesshomaru would consider taking her as a mate…had she not been a filthy ningen.

"What do you want with me…Sesshomaru-sama." There was no need to make the dude angry by forgetting honorifics. Afterall…he WAS a lord was he not?

"This Sesshomaru does not need to give a mere mortal a reason for his actions." He stated simply, giving her a bored look.

Ceres growled, earning an inward grin from Sesshomaru (of course no one saw that…it WAS inward). "I am my own person Sesshomaru. Whether you are the Lord of the Western lands, or Kami himself for pete's sake…you will give me a reason as to why you want me." She bit out, trying to stay as civil as possible, but dropping the honorifics.

"That is Sesshomaru-sama to you filthy ningen." He hissed, eyes narrowing as he moved closer to her in a flash, barely an inch away from her nose, trying to intimidate the shorter woman.

Ceres glared straight back, never one to back down. "You don't deserve honorifics you self-centered bastard." She hissed right back, very aware of how close the two had gotten.

Sesshomaru watched as her aura flickered around her. Her scent filled his nostrils and sent him on a trip to the heavens and back. The woman's hair was so silky looking…if only he could run his fingers through them…and before he knew it…

Ceres blinked while trying not to give into the wonderful feeling the taiyoukai was giving her. What the hell is he doing…she thought as her carefully constructed walls began crumbling. Her thoughts began clouding as something else in her took over. Her dark emerald orbs began glowing behind drooping eyelids as she wrapped slender arms around the Western Lord, smirking when she received a pleased growl from him.

Kagome felt it before she saw it. Either way…she couldn't believe it. First she felt Sesshomaru's demon side arise which led to a great burst of power that nearly knocked her off her feet. Two things surprised her about this new power. A) It wasn't coming from the Western Lord, who was licking and nibbling on Ceres' collar bone, emotionless mask ripped off his chiseled face as lust clouded his eyes. B) The power was coming from Ceres, and most of the power felt like an overwhelming desire to…well…fuck something. Kagome blushed at the thought, but that's the only way she could describe it, and the scene before her justified her thoughts. What kind of a power is this?

Kagome took this moment use her new skills from her recent training. Drawing on her core of power she closed her eyes and focused it into the form of a bow. Kagome opened her eyes and silently cheered at the sight of her power-bow that glowed while it hummed with pure energy. She drew back on the string, taking aim with the blue arrow that formed. Her body froze the moment just before releasing the arrow as the world turned to a fuzzy white space devoid of all sounds: It was just her and her target. Time slowed as her fingers released the arrow, watching as it flew towards her target.

Sesshomaru felt something tugging on the back of his mind through the pleasure he was feeling. He clawed his way through the mist that clouded his mind. Suddenly he pushed Ceres away, while throwing himself backwards. Searing pain erupted on his chest, and he looked down to see a nasty burn from the aura around the arrow that had been aimed at him. Kami it burned. Damn that miko. He thought darkly before replacing his mask. "I shall be back for her miko. Mark this Sesshomaru's words ningen." With that, he disappeared into the forest with lightening speed, one thing on his mind: What in the seven hells just happened? When he got back to the castle, much research would be required.

Kagome did a little dance of happiness at her accomplishment before wavering slightly. "I've gotta work on that endurance." She muttered before stumbling over to her new friend. Ceres had landed on a pile of leaves and moss, keeping her from getting hurt. "Must've been coincidence…" she mumbled, wondering if it really was coincidence that the cold lord pushed her onto it. Kagome shook her head as her blue eyes filled with worry. "Cer-chan…" (pronounced: Ser-chan…the 'e' makes an 'eh' sound) Kagome spoke softly while gently shaking the older woman. "Cer-chan…please wake up?"

Ceres heard her friend's voice and stirred slightly. Her whole body felt empty and tired, and her head was throbbing. Slowly, she opened her eyes. "It happened again?" she asked with a slightly raspy voice. Kagome gave her a questioning look. Cere's smiled wryly as she stood up, gently refusing Kagome's help. "There are things you do not yet know about me Gome-chan. Things that will reveal themselves in time." Ceres looked at the glassy water of the pond. It was so still…like the calm before a storm. "What you just saw…was another thing that is strange about me." Dark emerald eyes looked back at Kagome. "My mentor…she tried to separate that part of me…tried to save me from that darkness."

"What are you talking about Cer-chan?" Kagome asked as the two started walking back towards camp.

"Amaya removed most of my dark side…but I still have a small part of that darkness inside of me. Every once in a while it comes out like it did in that clearing back there." Ceres smiled softly making her look like a fallen angel in the moonlight. Kagome's face was drenched in confusion, not comprehending what the other girl was saying. Ceres shook her head. "Ne Gome-chan…" she said while slightly pouting and placing on hand on her hip. "You didn't notice? I'm part demon."

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! I will also be starting a story based on the anime: Ouran Highschool Host Club…if anyone is interested. XD But that comes later…after I get a couple more chapters of this story up. XD
