"talk"

(thoughts)

:mental talk:

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Last Chapter…

"Jaken. Do not interrupt me again if you value your life. Do you question your lord? I will hear not one complaint out of all of you or anyone of you for that matter. Is that understood?" Her powerful voice commanded and all the servants bowed. Rin looked at Sesshomaru,

"You act like Sesshomaru-sama!" She giggled.

"Go on now Rin." Kagome said a bit softer and started to make her way into the castle. :Not bad for a human…: Sesshomaru thought sourly. (Oh don't be mad 'love'. It's all for you.)

"Sit." He whispered angrily when they walked down a hallway alone.

"Bastard!' She screamed into the floor.

"Oh did that hurt, 'dear'?" He taunted. Kagome only grumbled into the floor.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome pried herself off of the floor and glared at Sesshoumaru. She growled and looked at the cocky Lord.

"Just to let you know "Dearest" I hate your guts…." Kagome sneered taking a step forward and using one fine claw to point it directly between his eyes. Sesshoumaru, as always, looked unfazed yet the sadistic Lord smirked while shoving some of the black locks away from his face,

"The feeling is quiet mutual human." He growled. Yet to Kagome's senses it was more like purr to her causing her to chuckle. Sesshoumaru's brow twitched :How many times must I tell you about those insolent human emotions: He thought outraged, but when there is a problem there is a solution…. "Sit." He said smugly.

"Eeep!" She squeaked and kissed the floor. : Well you aren't exactly helping me much either FURBALL: She screamed mentally while letting a muffled, yet beautiful, string of curse words flow from her lips. Sitting up she wiped the blood from the corner of her lip that was now slit. Growling she took a step forward and trapped Sesshoumaru up against the wall.

"You NEED me to help you "Lord Sesshoumaru" and I can make you the laughing stock of Feudal Japan if you don't work with me." Kagome sneered. Yet Sesshoumaru, only to add more gasoline to the fire, snorted and leaned up closer so his breath tickled the curve of Kagome's ear.

"And you NEED me if you ever want to go home." He growled back just as wickedly. With that, Sesshoumaru ducked under the one arm that belonged to his body's possessor and walked down the hall disappearing into the darkness. :Follow, we shall go to my room to retire for the night: Kagome could only follow with her fists clenched wondering what sounded better, Naraku Noodles or Naraku Bits… :Add a bit of miko and I'm sure it will be perfect: Came Sesshoumaru's taunting reply.

"I'm going to kill him! I swear to the death of me I'm going to kill him!" Kagome fumed.

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

After an evening of clawing at each other's throats Kagome sat in "her" room quietly gazing out the window. Her long silver hair seemed translucent to the twinkling moonlight from the clouds above. Her golden eyes were soft and brimmed with intensity. A frown sated her lips and her brows furrowed as she continued to look out at the expanse of land before her that was blanketed in shadows. The fluffy white appendage was lax from her shoulder and swung freely in a side to side motion, barely brushing against the top of the glimmering floor. She let her claws come into view of her golden line of sight, how long would she be stuck like this?

"Sesshoumaru you suck…" She snapped irritably to the night while glaring at the form in the bed. Then from the small side door of the room she heard the soft pad of footsteps on the floor before halting behind her tugging on her tail.

"Sesshourmaru-sama? You are still awake?" Came the small yet sleepy voice. Kagome gulped and turned around to see Rin looking up at her with clouded eyes. It took all her "sesshourmaru will" not to chuckle. She leaned down and stroked Rin's head a bit before shaking his head.

"Sesshoumaru is. Why are you still awake?" Kagome asked. Rin yawned and whimpered a bit,

"I can't sleep…I had another dream bout those mean wolves….that…" She didn't get to finish her sentence before a small hiccup and whimper escaped her small lips. Going against her better judgment on the "what would Sesshoumaru do" theory she scooped the girl up with her arm. The girl then played a role like a leach and cried heavily into her robe. :Sesshoumaru? What does Rin mean about the wolves: Kagome asked mentally while soothing the small child with hushed condolences.

"Kouga's wolf tribe killed her." Was the monotone reply from the bed that seemed to be tinged with a tad of annoyance of hearing her voice in his head. Kagome arched a brow, Kouga did this? Rin still sobbed and Kagome's sister like instincts she began to hum to the horror of Sesshoumaru. Kagome rocked Rin back and forth; humming to her silently and Sesshoumaru sat and eyed every corner or the room. Let something come find HIS body humming to a human girl, he would kill them all! Rin calmed and soon feel asleep and Kagome laid her down on the massive bed.

"Ya know for a heartless demon lord, your voice does have some use."

"I will pretend to not have heard that." Sesshoumaru snorted and went to lie back down. "Get some sleep; the Lords will be here tomorrow." He scoffed and laid down silently. An hour went by and Kagome was still dazing out of the window when she heard the little knock on her mentality, :Why are you still not in bed human: Was the cold, egotistical remark from the lord. :I'm scared…: Was Kagome's small response as she continued to look out the window. : About….: The demon Lord drawled out and Kagome turned over her shoulder to see the dark brown eyes looking back at her. Hell froze over didn't it? Sesshoumaru was caring? She shook her head and sighed, : Just this is a complete mess! I mean stupid Naraku switches us all around and we could get killed at any moment! I may never see my family again! And I left Inu Yasha to the forest and the dead priestess! My life is over if we don't kill Naraku.: screamed Kagome mentally, why of all times did this have to happen. Her and Inu Yasha were finally getting closer and she was being ripped away from him and then they switch bodies, this was worse than seeing Michael Simmons in a thong! Sesshoumaru watched the visage of Kagome twist and turn as she went from sadness, anger, worry, and anxiety. The thought of Inu Yasha getting close to Kagome while in this predicament was far worse than disturbing. He had to bite back the cold smirk that formed on his lips. With practiced mental barriers he raised them. Then to himself he thought with a smirk, (If I get this human girl to stop fawning over my brother and pay attention to the details in front of her she could possibly play part in finally killing Naraku with my body and I can use her to get the shards…then…then I will be the strongest demon of all…) Sesshoumaru cynical smirk never left his lips as he laid down and pulled the covers over both him and Rin.

"Come to bed Kagome. You have much to learn tomorrow…" Was his calm voice that made Kagome freeze. This couldn't be the real Sesshoumaru? "Ai, I am the real Sesshoumaru. Now come to bed I will not have my royal appearance weakened by you not getting enough sleep human." He snorted at her childish thoughts.

"You said my name…" Kagome said dumbstruck.

"It's your name is it not?" He said rolling over with his back facing her. Kagome only let a ghost of a smile cover her lips before shaking out of her stupor. Maybe there was more to Sesshoumaru than she thought. She crawled in bed and sighed,

"Good night Sesshoumaru-sama." She said with a soft smile and Sesshoumaru flung a pebble at her face from the floor when she awoke glaring.

"You were smiling." He smirked and fell asleep.

"Oh that's getting so old!" She hissed and pummeled her head into the pillow. Unaware of the crimson shades starting to form in the sky.
