A/N: I hope you guys liked the first chapter and I know some of you are probably angry because I left a cliff hanger. Well here's the next chapter.
Chapter 2: Memories
They stared at each other silently; they both where trying to catch their breath after the long sheering kiss they just shared. Sesshomaru awaited her answer hoping that she would recognize him from their early childhood.
"Yes I remember, why wouldn't I?" she said with a small smile while placing a hand on his cheek.
Sesshomaru couldn't believe it Kagome actually remembered him. He didn't know how to tell her how he felt (though he planned on not telling her in the first place) but he decided to take it slow with her until they where comfortable in each others presence again. He slowly pulled away from her even though his youkai side protested.
"It was nice meeting you Kagome" his voice was deep as he spoke her name. He saw her shudder and restrained herself from letting a moan escape her lips. He inwardly smirked at the affect he had on her.
Before she could blink he was gone and nowhere in sight. She let out a small sigh and couldn't help the tingling sensation that was still running through her body. Her body slowly slid down the length of the tree and she collapsed in a small heap on the ground.
'What was all that about? One minute he's mad and the next he's a horny bastard.' she though as she huffed out her anger and frustration.
(Sesshomaru's P.O.V)
She was always getting herself into sticky situations like the one time when she was twelve and her friends took a trip out to a local village for a nature walk and she accidentally led her and her best friend Sango into a bunch of Poison Ivy. They had to stay in the house for a week and they couldn't scratch or rub the itchy parts of their body. That was only the beginning of all the weird situations they were getting into.
Sesshomaru watched as she lowered herself to the ground and all the emotions that passed through her eyes. He masked his aura from her because he knew she would be able to sense him out, for he knew she was a miko and that was obvious by the bow and arrows she had in her possession. He always knew she would become a miko because she once told him that her older sister was a miko in training.
Flashback
"Hey Sessho wanna know what I'm going to be when I grow up?" asked the young girl who was always happy.
"What?" he asked out of curiosity. He waited for her to tell him but the answer never came. He looked at her and he saw the sadness in her eyes. "What's the matter Kagome?" He was worried that she was recalling something bad that happened in her life.
"Nothing it's just that my onee-san was a miko and before she died she was training me. I always wanted to be a…" She didn't finish her sentence and instead looked at him with uneasiness.
"A miko." Sesshoumaru finished for her.
"Yeah."
"If that is what you want to be then I will not stop you." He replied gently. He saw the happiness flash in her eyes and he couldn't help the smile that crept onto his face.
Flashback
He remembered all the times he and Kagome would just sit and talk under the star set sky and all the times they would comfort each other when the other was upset. That was before he become the cold person he is today. He didn't show his emotions much and he couldn't help but feel ashamed for leaving her with a simple 'nice to meet you again'. He slowly turned away from the scene the girl was causing.
'She never changes' he thought with amusement.
(Kagome's P.O.V)
Kagome couldn't help but scream at the insect that dared to crawl on her hand. If only she wasn't afraid of bugs she would have squashed it in a matter of seconds.
'Damn stupid bug and its creepiness' she growled in her head. She raised herself up off the ground making sure her bow and arrow was secure and set out west. She had heard from a group of villagers that she recently passed that an evil youkai was causing trouble and kill for the fun of it. No youkai or human were left alive. As she made her way into another clearing she felt a presence behind her and she reached behind her to grab a bow from its quiver and got ready to fire the arrow. Her life was full of danger now that she was a miko and she was constantly getting hurt or deeply wounded. She remembered the first battle she had ever fought against a youkai.
Flashback
Kagome made her way back to the village she was currently staying in. Her new family thought it was wonderful that she was training to become a miko and supported her with all their heart. She had learned to control her powers and sense out any youkai in the area, she was even able to sense a youkai that was many miles away if she focused all her energy on it.
All of a sudden a big boar youkai made its way towards her. She quickly fired an arrow out of pure reflex and watched as the arrow missed its target slightly. Swearing under her breath she quickly notched another arrow and it hit its target right into the boar's eye. The boar became angry and swung its arms out wildly trying to hit her with all its might.
Kagome saw the arm come closer to her but her reflexes weren't fast enough and the boar hit her right in the stomach. She doubled over and clutched her stomach in pain and spat out the coppery tasting blood from her mouth. Kagome felt the warm liquid of her own blood on her hand and looked down at the blood flowing from the wound she had just received.
'Damn I got hit. I have to finish off this youkai before t finishes me off' Kagome thought scrambling to her feet and picking up her deserted bow and arrow. Forgetting about her wound she gripped the string of her bow tight and channeled her power through her arrow and let it fly. The out of control youkai turned its head in the direction of the oncoming purification arrow and tried to escape but failed. The arrow hit its target and she watched the boar turn to dust right in front of her eyes. She had won her first battle against a youkai and she survived. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she felt herself fall into the world of unconsciousness.
Flashback
She felt a sharp pain in her leg and collapsed on the floor in pure agony and couldn't help but let a stray tear fall from under her closed eyelids.
"It seems you aren't a very good miko if you let such a basic attach hit you and effect you like that." A deep voice said causing her to open her eyes slightly and stare at a handsome young kitsune youkai. His hair was light orange-brown color and his piercing green eyes pinned her down to the ground. The young kitsune had on a black hakama, dark green outer kimono with a black undershirt. The outer kimono had light green leaves scattered here and there and his black boots completed his outfit.
"What do you want?" Kagome asked while holding her injured leg while slowing standing with her good leg.
"You where trespassing on my land and I couldn't allow you to just leave without giving you a proper goodbye." He smirked evilly and she felt her anger swell.
'How dare he, I will give him a piece of my mind when I heal this wound.' Kagome growled inside her head. Placing her hand over her injury she focused all her energy on it and waited a few seconds. The kitsune didn't wait for her to fully recover and attacked her using his Kaji Raishuu (Fire Attack) releasing miniature leaves. The leaves hit her on her arms and legs leaving small burns in their wake.
"Aahh," Kagome screamed and fell to the ground again. Squeezing her eyes shut to block out her attackers death blow.
(Sesshomaru P.O.V)
Sesshomaru has a gut feeling that he should go back to check on Kagome. Something inside of him was telling him to go to her aid but he pushed it aside and continued on his way.
"Aahh,"
Sesshomaru jerked his head in the direction of the scream. He recognized that scream it was Kagome. He took of into that direction and came to a clearing. Spotting Kagome on the ground wounded stirred something in him forcing his beast out. A low growl escaped his lips before he could control it. He felt his demon come forth and he lost whatever control he had over his inner youkai.
(Kagome P.O.V)
Kagome awaited her fate of being burned to death by this handsome kitsune but it never came. Opening her eyes slowly she found the white cloth of someone's pants. Trailing her eyes from the pants to the back of the persons head, she let out a startled gasp.
"Sesshomaru…" She whispered softly. He turned her head to acknowledge her. She gasped in horror.
'His eyes, they're red'
(Normal P.O.V)
Sesshomaru let out a low growl that sent a shiver down her spine. The kitsune could only look on in fear at the dangerous youkai in front of him.
'He has very strong youki,' the handsome kitsune thought.
Sesshomaru vanished and appeared before the young kitsune. The surprised kitsune didn't even have a chance to dodge the on coming attack as Sesshomaru slashed at him with his poisonous whip.
"SESSHOMARU……" Kagome yelled she didn't want the young kitsune to get hurt all because of her, she knew what Sesshomaru was capable of. He did after all take down a rather large youkai when they were younger.
Rushing over to the two she placed her hand on Sesshomaru's arm.
"Sesshomaru please don't kill him he didn't mean it I was trespassing and he was only trying to make me leave." Kagome pleaded in a soft voice. He turned his head in her direction his red eyes locking with her own. A soft growl escaped his lips as he released the young kit.
"Thank you Sessho." Kagome said his nickname without thinking about the consequences. She clasped a hand over her mouth when she realized that she said his name without his approval. "Gomen."
Sesshomaru stared at her with his emotionless mask set back in place, his eyes still weren't their normal color. Turning away from her he stalked away from the two and into the forest without a word.
"Thanks." The young kitsune said with gratitude while rubbing his neck to ease the pain. The flesh there had been burned away by the poisonous acid that the youkai had produced with his claws.
Kagome saw the young kit in pain and knelled before him and removed his hand from his neck. She almost gasped but held it in not wanting to alarm the kit.
"Sesshoumaru really would have killed you if I wasn't here to stop him. Your one lucky youkai." Kagome muttered.
"Thanks"
"Wha…." Asked a dumbfound Kagome.
"Thanks for saving me." The youkai said with sincerity.
"Your welcome…….I guess." Kagome continued to check over his wounded neck. Placing her hand over the melting flesh she let her powers flow through her fingers and into the wound. She didn't want to purify him so she only used one fifth of her powers. She watched the flesh regenerate itself and looked away quickly to keep herself from throwing up all over the young kit.
"Well I better get going I have important matters to attend to." Kagome picked up her forgotten bow and arrows and headed into the forest.
"Wait!" Kagome turned around to show she was listening.
"Yes."
"Next time do not come into my territory and I won't hurt you." Growled the kitsune.
"And repeat running into Sesshomaru again." Kagome smirked and walked into the forest.
Kagome sighed as she lowered herself into the hot spring. Her aching muscles relaxed at the touch of the warm water of the hot spring. She thought back to earlier when she was rescued by Sesshomaru. That was the second time she ran into in one day and she bet it wasn't the last. A shiver ran down her spine she felt as if someone was watching her.
"Sessho…"
