Tranquility of the Heart
Chapter 11
When Sesshomaru arrived at the dinning room he saw it was deserted, Rin was not here yet as well. 'She is probably still picking flowers in the garden outside with Sue and the hanyou's wench.' Soon Rin skipped in to the room happily carrying a colorful bouquet of flowers. There were fukujuso, some sakura blossoms, peach blossoms, azalea and many other exotic flowers.
"Sesshomaru-sama, Sesshomaru-sama, Rin has lots of pretty flowers for you and Kagome-nee-chan." shouted Rin happily.
Sesshomaru's only responds was a nod though his face did soften a bit, as he patted Rin's head.
"Sesshomaru-sama, sesshomaru-sama, where's Kagome-nee-chan?"
"Is she not with you?" Questioned Sesshomaru.
Replying Rin shook her head, No. Sesshomaru mentally frowned, the wench has better come soon, for she was worrying Rin and he would not tolerate that.
"Rin, go eat your food before it gets cold"
"Hai, Sesshomaru-sama."
It has been quite a while; Rin had finished her breakfast and was asking why her Kagome-nee-chan was not here yet, but unfortunately Sesshomaru wasn't exactly in his best mood right now.
"Rin, find Jaken and continue your studies with him until lunch." Stated Sesshomaru coldly.
"But…" protested Rin
"Rin" said Sesshomaru sternly
"Hai, Sesshomaru-sama" replied Rin sadly
Disappointed, Rin got off her chair and walked silently out the door. Minutes later Sesshomaru could hear Rin call out to Jaken and the annoying voice of his 'stupid', but faithful servant answering her rudely, other wise complied fading away into the long hall ways, before he let out a frustrated growl of displeasure. His usually clam looking amber eyes were bleeding red along the rims. His youki was growing intensively as his inner beast tried to break free, as it demanded punishment of the insolent wench. Sesshomaru fists were clenched tight at his sides, blood dripping slowly on to the floor, staining it crimson red with blood; his blood. Suddenly he caught the scents of milk and honey and the unusually fiery scent of his top general. Using his demonic hearing he heard Kagome thank Kunimitsu before they each said their good byes. After he heard Kunimitsu's foot steps fade into the vast corridors as Kagome took a deep breath before opening the door. Only to be greeted with the sight of an angry Sesshomaru.
As Sesshomaru starred heatedly at her, she noticed the hints of red in his usually calm amber eyes, Kagome could feel his youki growing, her eyes widened, in surprise and fear. Sure she had known Sesshomaru was a powerful taiyoukai and all, but the fact that his youki was growing stronger and stronger by the second was scarring her even more.
'Oh, shoot this is not good! Ok. Take a deep breath and stay clam. You can do this, just apologize and………'
"Hi, sesshomaru-sama gomenesai, hoto ni suminmasen I'm really, really sorry, please forgive me. Onegai shimashita" pleaded Kagome childishly with the best puppy dog eyes she could muster.
Sesshomaru watched angrily as the source of his rage came in and walked closer, but stopped as she noticed his partially red eyes. She seemed to be in thought, as she smelled uneasy and fear on her. Then he heard her apologize, but his inner beast still demanded her to be punished for keeping him waiting.
"Wench, why were you late?" growled sesshomaru.
"Well, umm…I kinda got lost, but I bumped into Kunimitsu, so he showed me where the dinning room was." replied Kagome nervously.
Sesshomaru detected no lie form her, 'So she is indeed telling the truth,' Standing up Sesshomaru walked over where Kagome was standing until they were merely inches from each other. His shadow towered over her as he hissed. "This time consider your self lucky, for next time this Sesshomaru will not be so forgiving." It had taken all his concentration and control to not to rip her apart to satisfies his inner beast, but he prided himself for not losing his control and making a mess. Narrowing his eyes, he remembered that he was planning to train her after breakfast, but a mischievous thought came out as well. There was a little smirk on his face as he decided her punishment for making him wait, was going to make her day a living hell…starting with their training session.
"Come, we are late for your training session and this Sesshomaru is a very busy person." Ordered sesshomaru in a cold and emotionless voice.
'What on earth just happened here?' Kagome just stood there amazed that wasn't dead or injured, as a matter of fact there was not a scratch on her. She couldn't believe it, he just let her off, but why there had to be a reason. Unfortunately for Kagome, she missed the smirk on Sesshomaru's face, as she was too busy in her own shocking thoughts.
"Are you or are you not coming wench, I have not got all day like you worthless humans,"
"It's Kagome, Ka-Go-Me, get it through that thick head of yours. Either use it or don't talk to me!" exclaimed Kagome half yelling, but Sesshomaru completely ignored her and walked out of the room with his silky silver hair swaying behind him. Having no other choice Kagome followed after him, grumbling quietly to herself about annoying, arrogant inu youkai. They walked down one set corridors after another making Kagome dizzy. Finally they arrived in front of a pair of shoji sliding doors that lead into Sesshomaru's private dojo. Not looking to where she was going Kagome accidentally bumped into Sesshomaru who was standing in front of the doors.
"Oomph! Gomen nasai" muttered Kagome.
Sesshomaru's only responds was a nod as he opened the doors and walked into the dojo, with Kagome following closely behind him. Kagome was immediately amazed. It was a beautiful place and seemed so surreal. Trees that were incredibly tall seemed to stretch as far as the eye could se, surrounded three sides of the dojo; there was a large pool of water off to one side of the forest. Kagome also noticed another that was slightly smaller then the door they had just walked in. The dojo seemed calm and if you listened hard enough you could hear the whispers of the wind and the flowing sound of water.
"Follow me," ordered a cold voice.
"Stop ordering me around I'm not your servant or slave." shot back Kagome, but did as she was told.
Sesshomaru lead them to the room behind the other door. Inside was a beautiful hot spring. The steaming water seemed so inviting to Kagome and so relaxing, but Kagome knew that they were here to train. Walking over to another door Sesshomaru opened it to reveal a closet filled with kimonos and armor. After looking for a moment Sesshomaru emerged with a set of armor and a haori and hakama. Tossing them to Kagome, he left the room to give Kagome privacy to change. Looking at the haori and hakama Kagome noticed that they were very similar to Sesshomaru's, but more feminine. It was white like Sesshomaru's but instead of red hexagons with white flowers in them, hers were baby blue sakura blossoms and just like sesshomaru's they were on her left shoulder. The hems of the haori the design was kind of different, for instead of baby blue sakura blossoms there was a crescent moon and small clusters of moonflowers. Quickly taking off her orange-checkered kimono Kagome put on her new outfit along with the armor. Kagome then quickly tied her hair up in a messy ponytail before walking out of the hot spring and into the dojo once again to find Sesshomaru mediating.
'Awww…

Hi! Everyone sorry for not posting, I kinda busy with my new science project and my art work for a competition my art teacher Q entered me in, so fingers crossed. ! Any ways just thought I tell you what's in my next chappie for Tranquility of the Heart. Well Sesshomaru and Kagome starts training etc, then, wait you know what let me just give you a little preview this summarizing thing is never my favorite:
'Damn, he used my strategy against me' thought Kagome
'Do not be so hard on your self…'
'Wow, is he being nice and, dare I say it, sweet?'
'…After all you are just a pathetic little human girl'
'Ok. I officially take what I said back, he's still an arrogant jerk' Glaring at Sesshomaru, Kagome yelled telepathically at Sesshomaru. 'Get out of my mind you, you paranoid jerk or I'll, I'll make sure you go to hell'
"You are in no position to make threats, girl," responded Sesshomaru plainly.
Looking at the position she was in Kagome, knew he was right, I mean look at her she was sitting on….
Hoped you liked the little preview,
