Last Chapter…
"What did you do to her?" Inu Yasha growled and Sesshomaru glared.
"I simply used the blunt of the arrow to knock her out." He stated calmly putting the bow on his shoulder… Sesshomaru watched the others go and looked down at the corpse of the demon. His hand then brushed against the reddened flesh of his neck. Had he not been calm something more catastrophic, in his opinion, could have happened other than death. He then started walking back to camp and started to plan how he was going to teach the wretch self control and how he prayed to the gods she didn't pee on herself in the night.
Now on to the story…
The next morning Kagome was the first to awaken. The group now had different waking hours considering the rate of their bodily fatigue. Kagome rose calmly and looked down at the rest and she couldn't help but smirk at the foot and half she gained in height. She looked down to her one hand and marveled at the neatly kept claws…how long was she going to be in this body? Briskly; she picked up "her" swords and walked around the clearing of the camp using her new abilities to hear things she had never head before. The walk was rather dull but when she arrived at the edge of the woods she could see the blush of the horizon getting brighter and brighter. She leapt up in a tree and awed over it's beauty. A smile graced her lips as the silver locks cascaded over her shoulders and pooled into her lap and knowingly to her she was being watched…
Sessomaru had woken at the distinct sounds of his sword being moved and woken up to see the sight of his body walking away. He got the weird churn in his stomach…how was he going to get used to see himself in everyday and why on earth had he not stolen the shards when he got a chance? A frown formed on his petite lips as he rose and followed Kagome. Why walking a distance behind he couldn't help but curse in his mind at his lack of senses. This just made his hatred for humans grow even more. When he saw the whimsical smile on Kagome's face he growled. The first thing he was going to do was teach her the meaning of a bearing.
Kagome almost squeaked at the unmistakable growl that reached her sensitive ears. She half turned on her branch and saw Sesshomaru scowling. She frowned. If he kept that up she was going to get wrinkles in no time.
"Oi! You keep that up I'm going to get wrinkles!" She yelled as she leapt down and landing with such grace it even surprised herself. Sesshomaru groaned; at this rate he was going to be the laughing stock of the kingdom…
"You will do well to mind who you are talking to." He spat out in a serious 'Kagome tone' that she would use on Inu Yasha before sitting him.
"Watcha going to do it bout 'Oh mighty Sesshomaru'." She teased while dwarfing him causing her silver hair to curtain both hers' and his face. Sesshomaru glared and rested one hand on her cheek. Kagome looked dumbfounded until she felt a searing sensation burn her cheek. She yelped and pulled away rubbing it and then felt the demon blood kick in and set into healing it right away.
"Your Miko powers are under my control. Do not pressure me." He stated coldly using his infamous glare that made her cringe. (Who would have thought that I could manage to look that scary) Kagome thought to herself. She then nodded and sighed, she really wanted her body back. "Let me state this now. This Sesshomaru will only agree not to steal the shards and give them to that haggard of a hanyou, Naraku, if you agree you will contain your foolish antics and learn the way of I." He stated in a regal tone and Kagome giggled at the thought of hearing her voice so proper that a mental image of Sesshomaru in a dress came to mind. "I fail to see what is so humorous human." He snapped.
"Nothing!" She said immediately as she grinned impishly as he scowled, "I will agree to your terms if you agree to mine…" She took a deep breath trying to ready a simple explanation and saw that he was listening, "I am not from this time…or era of any sort. My home is in the future and I travel through a well. I need to go back every so often to take tests and do homework. You will need to do it…just I don't know if I can go with you so it might be difficult. You do know what I mean by tests don't you?" She was met with a roll of his eyes,
"Yes. Tests to see if you knowledge has been retained and adequate for next step of learning. Your 'future' you speak of we will see in time. For YOUR training must start as soon as possible." He said while glaring a bit. She smiled with a nod and he frowned at her. She arched a brow and then smacked her head,
"Oh right…" Then she closed her eyes briefly and took a breath. Opening her eyes her face was calm with only a twitch of a smile on her lips. It would do for now he mused. They shook hands and headed back to camp. When arriving back at "camp" the deal Kagome made was forgotten as she broke out in a fit of giggles when she saw Miroku, his little fox self, clinging to a branch for dear life and a very angry, hissing Sango jumping and swiping at him. Even a change of bodies could not slow the monk and his perverted ways down.
"Oi! Where have ya been all morning." Inu Yasha said while standing up with the staff. Kagome looked over to him and was about to answer when Sesshomaru was the first to speak,
"Your woman and I were discussing important matters of having to improvise on learning the ways of one another to retain some since of dignity." (A wordy one isn't he) Kagome thought covering up a small laugh. Then it clicked in her head…your woman? His Woman! As infuriated as she was she couldn't help but blush. (If only) She thought dreamingly. Suddenly a grunt was heard and Sesshomaru started crumbling to the ground. He hissed in pain as he clenched his stomach, "This pain…you have no wound…" He growled and ground his teeth together. Kagome heard the distinct grind of her teeth and thwaped him in the back of his head,
"Hey mister those are my teeth!" She fumed and Sesshomaru only lapsed closer to the ground in another wave of pain. Kagome bit her lip when she heard him curse about his stomach feeling like it was being twisted in knots (A/N I had these last week ;;) when it suddenly clicked in her mind. "Does it hurt in your lower stomach?" She was answered by a brief not and she sat down on the ground and counted in her head the days. She came up with an answer. It was almost "that" time of the month. Without a word she went to her bright yellow pack and grabbed a water bottle and blue pills. "Take these.." He looked at the offending things in her hands,
"What are they for?"
"You are going through…errr…monthly pains a woman has to endure. Take these and they will help." With out another word he consumed the pills and it almost immediately took effect.
"What are these pains you speak of woman?" He rather demanded than asked.
"They are called minstrel cramps." She tried to explain. Then the monk's voice with Inu Yasha's, no doubt, cocky attitude cut in.
"It's that time of month when Kagome gets really pissy. That time when all woman are most irritable." Inu Yasha huffed and folded his arms over his chest and looked to the ground and thought to himself, (A time when Kagome is in heat…) And as if Sesshomaru read his thoughts, said,
"When women are in heat." Kagome gawked and put her hands on her hips and glared,
"Are not."
"Are too." Sesshomaru stated matter of factly.
"Are not…" She growled.
"Are too."
"Are not."
"Are too."
"Are not!"
"Woman!" Sesshomaru snapped glaring at her.
"I so do not go in heat!" She growled and Sesshomaru could not help but close his eyes and groan. Inu Yasha snickered but then let out a loud laugh. She just had to get the last word into it didn't she? Sesshomaru mused.
"Hehehehe, Sesshomaru with his hands on his hips. The world is going to think your gay!" He then fell into another fit of laughter and then Kagome realized what she was doing and flushed with embarrassment and offered a look of apology towards Sesshomaru who merely glared. Kagome gulped and glanced at Sesshomaru, (I hope he doesn't start getting mood swings…) Kagome huffed and sat down and slightly, ever so slightly she heard the soft but distinct whisper of,
"Are too…" and Kagome fumed at a smirking Sesshomaru but settled for pegging him with a small rock. (Are not!) she thought vainly and suddenly her thoughts were puled away by Inu Yasha's childish voice that was owned by Shippo,
"Mommy when am I going to get my body back? At this rate I won't have one!" Shippo whined as he pointed over his shoulder towards a Miroku being pinned beneath the now massive paws of an angry and flustered fire cat. Kagome offered a small smile,
"I don't know. But until then we need to learn how to use our new bodies because if Naraku attacks us now we will be dead for sure…" She seem to falter at the end of her statement as she realized her own words. They were like sitting ducks right now to Naraku. He must have been using them for amusement before he set out to kill them. They were too vulnerable. With that final thought a set of determination set upon her face as she looked to the others and stood up. "Everyone…" She started and waited till they all were looking at her…well except for Sesshomaru. "We have wasted enough time. Naraku can attack us at anytime. From now one we should spend time with our bodies appropriate owner and learn each other's battle style. We have to be ready." She finished and Sango titled her head and mused how that almost sounded like the real Sesshomaru. Kagome then brightened up and smiled, "So! Where should we begin?" All the sudden she felt a pebble hit her cheek, "Owww….who did that?" She growled and she looked up so see Inu Yasha pointing to Sesshomaru with a tad of a smirk, "What was that for jerk?"
"That is where we are starting." He snuffed as he stood up and frowned at the draft between his legs from that damned skirt. Kagome knew what he meant, he meant her facial expressions.
"I still don't see why my facial expressions have anything to deal with fighting."
"It has everything to deal with it. Your emotions are out of control." He explained while signaling her to follow him towards a secluded spots in the woods. Once again she followed him like a kicked puppy. (Now all we need is a leash and I think he would be happy) Kagome mused to herself with a small smile. Then suddenly she felt a twig hit her straight on the nose. She glared at a smirking Sesshomaru. "You were smiling." He stated and she growled,
"Oh thank you Mr. Obvious." She remarked sarcastically. Sesshomaru was really starting to get a headache on how this woman made his voice change so much. Hearing his OWN voice going from mad, to happy, too, godforbid, giggling, and such. This was going to be bad for his health… When reaching a clearing Kagome leaned against a tree and awaited the "master's" orders.
"First we will work on your emotional control." He stated pivoting on his heel to face her cause of wave of locks to swirl about his shoulders. (Kinda like an herbal essence commercial) She snickered and he frowned but didn't bother asking.
"Emotions can be beneficial in battle too ya know." She said deciding to put in her two cents. Sesshomaru scoffed and then let a small smug look cover his girly features.
"Really now? Then let me prove to you how they are not." He stated and motioned for her to sit down. She complied. "Shut you eyes, I will make you feel a range of emotions. Yet at the same time I want to you to try and reach for me." She was confused and arched a silver brow but did as she was told. Settling quietly she shut her eyes and for awhile nothing happened and she came to realize he wanted her to meditate and calm her senses. She did. After awhile he started pacing around her like a vulture. "Think about your kit. Think about seeing your fox child happy in a field playing and laughing…" He started with an emotionless voice. He smirked when he saw her relax even more and when a small smile graced her lips. "Keep thinking about that but try to get me." He stated and she tried but using her ears at the same time did not prove very helpful. After a few swats in the air she finally manage to touch his arm. Shaking it free he said, "See, if a demon caught you off guard in a happy state you would have been dead."
"Alright…I got that down…" She said somewhat dreamingly. He nodded and continued his administrations.
"Now…Imagine Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha telling you he wanted to be your mate and loved you, but then you find him kissing that piece of earth Kikyo." He saw her swell with a blush and happiness at the beginning of his statement which, in this position made him cringe, and then her face of confusion take her features. She reached a few times and missed her horribly. Yes this was confusion, he mused.
"This is confusion?" She asked attentively and she got a small gruff in response and nodded. She sighed and cleared her head once more. Then he slowly reached for his dark sword and she stiffened. He drew the blade out slowly and at an angle so she could hear the blade run across the side of the sheath. He then rested the blade against her neck and she gulped deeply.
"What do you feel now?" He said in the same dark monotone. She gulped as her brow formed a sweat of nervousness and fear almost suffocated her.
"Fear." She whispered hoarsely. He nodded. Kagome sat there quietly feeling the blade still had not left her neck. She decided taking in her surroundings would help. Using her noses she smelt the air deeply, she smelt her own wild forest scent. She smelled the springs, her companions not to far off…and herself… The body that Sesshomaru was in seem to radiate with an intoxicating smell. A soft, almost indistinct growl escaped her lips. That scent. She took a deep breath, what was this? Sesshomaru slowly slide the sword in its sheath and lowered his head. Intentionally letting the raven locks slip against his body owner's cheek. Careful he brushed his lip against the tip of her ear which made Kagome squirm. His warm breath tickled the back of her neck making her hair stand on end.
"What do you feel now?" He whispered huskily making sure she felt every movement of his lips against the tip of her ear.
"L-l-lust…" She managed to stutter out, not even going to attempt to reach of him.
"Then I prove my point. These feelings just get in your way of perspective." He stated coldly. Then moved away briskly and Kagome sat quietly trying to recuperate what dignity she had left. In silence Sesshomaru studied the slowly relaxing features. He nodded to himself, glad he had made he point. Kagome frowned as she opened her eyes, she was beginning to dislike these heightened senses. "Now let us continue." He stated. She nodded as he began to explain the theory of battle and why emotion got in the way.
Awhile later when Sesshomaru was allowing her a break, mother nature kicked in…
"Sesshomaru?" She asked hesitantly.
"What now?" He asked aggravatedly.
"I still got to "go"…" She said almost mouse like and Sesshomaru dug his hands into his scalp as he growled. He knew this was coming.
"Use leaves to hold that damned thing." He hissed as he tired of her immaturity. She bit her lip while turning a crimson hue. Using her only hand she fiddled with the hem of the haroi.
"I have to do a number two…" She almost whimpered.
"A number two?" He asked dumbly. Then it struck him, he had heard Rin use it on occasion. Could things possibly get worse and then mentally slapped himself, don't jinx yourself he chided. Then he looked at her as saw the golden eyes were downcast, "Rub your ass o the grass for all I care but I am not helping you with that." He growled and stomped off into the brush purifying anything demonic in his path to the 7 hells.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Back at camp Kagome slugged back with her head down. She had a whole new perspective on battle and emotion that she was mentally exhausted to even perform any kind of emotion. Not that Sesshomaru minded that much. When back at camp everyone seemed equally exhausted. Shippo was the first to hear the arriving of the two people with his sensitive silver ears. He reached for the blade and it transformed into the grand fang and all violent thoughts from Shippo faded. He looked at the sword and let out a high pitch happy squeal.
"Man! I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT! WHOOHOO!" He screamed happily dancing around with the mighty fang and probably awaking every demon in the bear by vicinity. Kagome laughed mentally, to tired to do it allowed. Sango and Kirara were sleeping and Miroku and Inu Yasha looked at Shippo awkwardly. The two took a seat near the fire while the brisk breeze tore down more autumn leaves. It was going to be winter soon. Kagome could feel it. Suddenly the unimaginable happened and Kagome froze. It looked at her innocently from a near by blade of grass by her foot. It's golden eyes watched her as it started to crawl towards her… it's small little legs tickled her are ankles as it crawled upon it. Kagome at this point was rigid with fear. Sesshomaru noticed the stiffened posture and turned a small glace towards her and then a cry that defeated all screams of absolute horror she screamed,
"SPIDER!" With that word Kagome flailed her legs around wildly and started to drag her legs across the grass while whimpering, Get it off! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off of me! Gah!" She cried as she used her hand and started to claw at the little spider. Sesshomaru could only gawk. Shippo snorted as he vainly tried to hold in his laughter. Inu Yasha coughed loudly to cover his and Miroku engraved this image in his mind. The might Sesshomaru, screaming in absolute horror, a high pitched squeal at that, trying to remove a tiny itsy bitsy spider. Kagome squealed and cried doing rolls on the grass and banging her foot against the ground. When she saw the little spawn of evil fly off onto a piece of wood near the fire she took no time in wasting to get up the nearest tree.
"Damn you woman. Control yourself." Sesshomaru growled as he watched his whimpering form on a branch crying and pointing at the little eight legged creature that looked offended.
"No! It's a Spider! Get it away get it away! It's so disgusting and scary!" She whimpered and protested hiding behind a branch of leaves for protection. The little spider huffed and walked away when Sesshomaru smirked.
"Well you know Spiders are fond of tree and dark places…" He drawled out and it hit Kagome like lightening. She screamed and dashed from the tree and collided with Sesshomaru's chest crouching at his feet with her hands over her head whimpering. He sighed. All that training for it to be wasted on a little insect…he then pondered on singing the little, "Itsy bisty spider went up a water spout" song that Rin was so fond of.
"Woman get off of me." He growled and was only met with a vigourous shake of silver locks. "Now!" the only response was a whimper and fear shaking the mighty demon body. When he tried to pry her off she only grasped on to his leg tightly and shook in fear. (Great..) He thought, now he was stuck with fuzzy maraca stuck to his leg. His pride and ego were almost diminished from this woman…almost. "Are too." She said arrogantly and then suddenly Kagome growled and whacked him a good one.
"Am not!" She roared. Sesshomaru smirked; humans were always amusing.
