No More Chances, No More Forgiveness

Chapter 4

Dinner and good night?

Kagome was in the hot spring relieving the stress that placed upon her. She sighed as all the stress that was placed on her during dinner disappeared.

During Dinner

Kagome and Sesshomaru had just sat down for dinner. Rin and Jaken were already sitting and were waiting for them. Feeling uneasy from what ALMOST happened not to long ago, Kagome kept her distance between her and Sesshomaru and sat next to Rin while Rin sat between her and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru was not pleased about this, but understood because he too was uneasy about the kiss. They are their dinner while Rin rambled on of what she did with her and Jaken this afternoon. Kagome listened and giggled at what said, while Sesshomaru just stared at her.

"And Rin made a flower crown to go with the flower necklace for Jaken-sama, but Jaken-sama got mad at Rin and threw the flowers she made for him" Rin's happy face turned to a frown.

Sensing her discomfort, Kagome automatically spoke of comfort to the young one.

"Baka ie surely he didn't mean to do it Rin, ne Jaken"

Kagome turned her attention to the toad demon and sent a deadly glare at him as of saying 'agree or die green imp'. Jaken got the message, a little scared as he nodded, in fear of what she might do or what Sesshomaru would do if he were to upset the girl.

The little girl's frown turned upside down and was smiling again. Sesshomaru glanced at Kagome slightly impressed of how she handled that. She would be a perfect caretaker for Rin.

Kagome caught Sesshomaru staring and found it a bit uneasy under his watchful gaze.

"Something you want Sesshomaru" Kagome asked snapping Sesshomaru out of his thoughts.

He frowned slightly of staring like that, so he put back his mask and cold voice. "I already told you to address me as Lord Sesshomaru, for I am..."

"Royalty? Higher rank, not a peasant such as I" Kagome finished his sentence.

Sesshomaru glared at her displeased of her interruption, "Indeed" he grumbled

"Well too bad, I don't care if you are stronger, higher rank than me, whatever! I don't even care if you were Kami himself! I'm not addressing you as Lord." she snapped confidently.

Sesshomaru's anger grew and his patience wore thin. He glared at the miko who dare defy him and speak so commonly as if she had equal status as he.

"You will do as I say!" he said angrily but control his temper.

"Iie and you can't make me." She shouted, throwing a tantrum of a 5 year old.

"Wench I CAN make you!"

"Do it then!

Jaken and Rin watched them argue back and forth at one another. Throwing challenges and insults back and forth, not one backing down. Neither spoke or fear of getting caught in the war the two were sending of each other.

"Jaken, take Rin back to her room" Sesshomaru growled.

Jaken didn't take any hesitation; he snatched Rin out of her chair and pulled her out of the room. Sesshomaru stood up in his chair and faced the girl who was still sitting, but was glaring coldly at him. Kagome grew tired of this silence; she stood up and turned her heels for the door. She didn't need his crap and wasn't hungry anymore, so she intended to spend the rest of the night in her room, that was until she was stopped by the angered taiyoukai who grabbed her wrist harshly.

"And where do you think you're going? I didn't excuse you"

Kagome narrowed her eyes on Sesshomaru, "I don't need your permission" she hissed, "And you don't tell me what to do" she snatched her hand back quickly.

"Ningen, hold your tongue or I will cut it off for you, know this Sesshomaru won't give a second thought in doing so" he threatened.

Kagome couldn't take it. He was acting so much like him. Besides a few adding things to him and his personality, he could see his hanyou brother in him. With that thought, she raised her hand and it made contact with Sesshomaru's face.

"You know Sesshomaru you're just like Inuyasha." she held her tears back. "Selfish, arrogant, pompous bastards! You both think you can go around telling and doing people what to do like the world revolves around you. Well NEWS FLASH your highness! It DOESN'T. And guess what I'm not taking any of this kuso from neither of you!" she shouted and stormed out the room.

Sesshomaru stood there a bit stunned. He touched the red cheek and thought really hard of what just happened. They were just having dinner, and then Sesshomaru had a fit that Kagome give him the proper respect he expects from all. Then they had an argument, Kagome slapped him and gotten the last words and stormed out. No one ever touched/ hit him, or told him off. Kagome... you do not fear me, nor fear of telling what's on your mind even if it meant death as punishment. Strangely, instead of anger he felt to kill the miko for hitting his person, he was sort of turned on by her fiery. Sesshomaru sighed and left for his studies. He needed something to take his mind of her.

After Dinner

Kagome was so pissed she didn't realize where she was going...again. That Sesshomaru! ARGH Just like Inuyasha so rude, stupid, makes me so mad, yet he looks so kawaii when he's angry and his body is so muscular and his hair is so...AH! Shimatta! I'm doing it again. Stupid, Stupid Stupid me! ...wait...where am I going? Oh KUSO! I'm lost...AGAIN Kagome looked at her surroundings, confused of where to go.

Kagome tried to find her way back to her room, but everything was the same.

She groaned frustrated, "Guess I have to ask directions"

She looked around hoping to find a servant or a maid somewhere, but the halls where deserted. A huge castle and not one person/youkai here to help her around this maze, she growled louder of frustration.

"Maybe if I go in a room I'll find someone and they could help me" she said to no in particular.

Kagome then looked at a door to her right that was nearest to her. She looked at it and found it safe to go in. She reached for the door and turned the knob. Next thing she knew she was faced with an osen to her delight.

"Wow I get lost and next thing I know I accidently find the spring" she grinned at her luck.

Kagome looked both ways outside once more then entered fully inside the room. She found herself alone, by herself, in a osen that called for her.

"Eh, since no one is here...I guess I could freshen up" she said happily and stripped down to nothing and stepped inside.

First testing the water, she dipped her toes inside the warm water and squealed in delight that it was the perfect temperaturen. She then sat down and let all the anger, sadness, and loneliness evaporate into the air. All her worries were drowned out by the warm surroundings of the osen engulfing her naked body.

XOXOXO

"Inuyasha!" Miroku and Sango called in unison.

"Have you found okaa-san, I smelt her scent leading here" Shippou said quickly looking around for any sight of the miko.

They ran up to him and with a little hope that he did, or at least have any leads. But to their disappointment and their hope lessening, he said.

"Does it look like I found her?" Inuyasha said angrily.

"Iie" they said sadly.

Inuyasha sadly looked down from their hopes of finding her, but quickly added, "But I do know Sesshomaru has her" Inuyasha he growled his name viciously.

"NANI!" "How? What does he want now?" they bombarded him with questions that came to mind.

"I picked up his scent leading here along with Kagome's he's probably after the Tessaiga again" Inuyasha answered matter-of-factly.

It wasn't anything new if he kidnapped her for a trade for his kantana. He wouldn't give up Tessaiga and he would get back Kagome. The only problem was, how? How were they gonna retrieve Kagome without giving up Tessaiga. Inuyasha thought this a bit, trying to come up with a plan. But of course Sango lost all patience and impatiently pushed on the remaining hunters.

"Well what are we waiting for? We have to save her; he's probably torturing her now!" Sango exclaimed worriedly.

The 3 nodded and split off heading off to the west. Inuyasha was impatient to get ahead so splitting in two groups, Kirara with Miroku and Sango. And Shippou deciding to go with Inuyasha this time, were off. They were to meet up for camp later.

XOXOXO

"Do you wish for me to dispose of her?" came a nyaa voice.

"Hai, Hyou as long as she lives Inuyasha will not stop searching for her...not unless she dead" another voice answered coldly.

Grinning he then said "What do you want me to do with her?" the one called Hyou asked.

A sigh was heard and turned to face the tiger youkai. Her straight black hair swished to the side showing her pale white skin. She crossed her arms and eyed the youkai.

"Do what you wish Hyou, as long as I have Inuyasha and the rest of my soul"

Hyou grinned happily. Getting to do whatever he wanted to the incarnated miko, will give him some free time and the fun he ached for a while. The need to kill made his claws twitch for blood.

"Hai, Kikyo" Hyou bowed once before turning away as he jumped away for his target.

XOXOXO

Sesshomaru tried to work but nothing could get the thought of Kagome out of his head.

Stupid wench! I can not think or work with her in my head!

Ah what's this I hear? Can't stop thinking of her?

Shut up! It's enough I have her in my head, I don't need you to rub it in!

Ah Sesshomaru you think you have all the answers but obviously you don't...can't even admit you love the girl

I do NOT love that wench!

Sure you don't...so why don't you prove it. Stop thinking about her

Fine I'll stop thinking about her

AH HA! There! You were just thinking about her

No I wasn't

There you go again

Shimatta get out of my head!

Yea I think I'm gonna leave you alone, you're going nuts

I will NOT repeat! LEAVE

You just did...but for health reasons I'm gonna go before you end up in the asylum. Bai bai

Sesshomaru threw his papers of his table in aggravation and watched it scatter and float down to the floor.

"I need to get her out my head, a good spring will do" he grumbled and walked out of his room.

XOXOXO

Kagome applied her hair with the bottle that she found beside her. She inhaled the fragrance of Sakura and massaged her hair in it. After her hair was completely full with bubbles, she then took another bottle of oil. This being vanilla and scrubbed it on her body until her skin turned pink and glowed in the crystal water. She then descended down into the spring to wash off all the suds on her body and hair. Surfing back, she then tossed back her head that threw her hair back causing the water in her hair to spray onto nearby objects. Feeling clean and satisfied, she then sighed happily enjoying the rest of her time in the spring to relax. She lifted her foot and wiggled it, giggling she placed her foot back into the water. Kagome picked up her hand and looked at her hand raisin like. I guess I have been here too long. She sighed sadly that she had to leave the nice quiet spring. She groaned annoyed she looked around and found that she had no towel.

"Shimatta! No towel! Now how am I gonna get out of here? Why did come in here with no towel!"

An idea came to mind of Sesshomaru pissing her off, came to reason. She groaned as she looked around her surroundings to cover herself with until she got to the sanctuary of her room. And of it, it held probably clothes to wear.

"Baka Sesshomaru gets me lost in this maze" she muttered, "What a baka doesn't even give me a tour or at least someone to show me around this HUGE place, which I doubt I'm gonna find my way back.

Kagome stood up and began to step out of the spring when the door opened. Kagome slowly looked up, as did of Sesshomaru. Their eyes met and they both stood there looking at one another. Smoky blue eyes met golden ember ords in silence. After a while, speaking up to relieve the silence she nervously said.

"Ano...hi Sesshomaru" she said forgetting she didn't have a towel

Sesshomaru didn't respond but continued to look at her figure. His eyes that were once on her face, descended down her face to her twin mounds, to the curls of her womanhood and long slim legs. He felt himself grow hard and strained to keep it down. His silence and staring made Kagome wonder what he was looking at, looking at herself and a light bulb went off in realization that she was naked.

She turned deep crimson red and covered her chest with her arms. She then took a deep breath and said calmly.

"….Sesshomaru, will you please stop staring at my body and..." she smiled closing her eyes.

"GET OUT!"
