Waters Of the Moon

Part Two

Chapter Two

Turning swiftly around, Sesshomaru stared in disbelief at the creature behind him. She had a completely different demeanor and her aura was filled with anticipation and excitement. She was casually examining her nails as if nothing had happened, and of course acted as if Sesshomaru hadn't even charged at her.

This completely pissed Sesshomaru off.

He growled low in his throat, remaining immobile, whilst watching his mysterious opponent. 'Surely this woman is a demon in disguise.' He thought. 'No woman is faster than I.'

"What are you wench?" he began. "You do not appear demon, yet you harbor demonic abilities and traits." He paused and began thinking of a way to catch her off guard. 'How could I take her down with one blow?' he wondered. 'Maybe if I can get behind her and distract her with something else, I could very well puncture her neck.' He inwardly smirked, and making sure to give nothing of his plan away, he remained in the same stance, not moving a single muscle. Focusing his energy, he began to set his plan into action.

"I can assure you, my lord," Kagome began, as she looked solely at the man in front of her. "You cannot harm me. At least… not before I can harm you."A tiny mischievous smile curled her lips before she closed her eyes and held her hands in front of her, as if she were giving someone something.

Sesshomaru was about to attack, when the woman's eyes snapped wide open, staring directly at him in a piercing gaze. Suddenly an excruciating pain rose up inside of him, and not just in one place, as if she had hit him, but all over his body. He tried to remain stoic, but the throbbing pain was eating him up from the inside, and a small grimace crossed over his features.

Abruptly, his mouth was forced open by an invisible hand and something clear and long began to rise out of him. Realizing in complete astonishment, that water was departing his body, he began to fight with more vigor, and soon managed to snap his mouth tightly shut. The pain faded the instant he had control, and in immeasurable confusion and anger, turned to Kagome and stared her down.

What his eyes met wasn't any sort of battle expression he had ever seen. It almost looked like she was pouting. 'What?! She's pouting!' If Sesshomaru thought he would never understand women, he was pretty damned sure he would never know now!

"I was going to put it back in you after I was done with it. You didn't have to act like I was killing you or anything, jeezus, lighten up." She crossed her arms and plopped down in the dirt again, huffing as she went.

Sesshomaru was standing in the same spot completely clueless as to what the baka was talking about. Slowly and cautiously, he crept around the strange woman, and sat down a good ten feet away, making sure to watch her every move.

After a few minutes of silence, Kagome looked up. When she noticed how far he had chosen to sit away from her, her face fell and she looked at him in a disheartened way. She gazed at her lap and began mumbling something.

"Why… everybody thinks… weird…" She sniffled and Sesshomaru tensed in anticipation of what he knew was to come. "But that's why I had to leave… stupid legs… I wish I…why... feel… alone…" She finally stopped reciting her incoherent sentences, and pulled her legs up to her chest, she buried her head between her knees. A few silent sobs were heard and Sesshomaru faintly smelled salty tears as the crystalline droplets rolled down her cheeks and onto her dress.

Sesshomaru began to feel awkward sitting near her, not knowing if he should comfort her or attack. 'What if this is merely a trick to get me close enough for her to kill me?' He wondered briefly.

'That is real crying right there you baka! You better do something!' The demon groaned mentally, his damn conscience was butting in now. 'Perfect. JUST PERFECT! Now I've got a crybaby AS WELL AS a disobedient mind to deal with! This is just not my day. FIRST, I am bested by a WOMAN in COMBAT, next she starts CRYING, AND SHE'S THE ONE WHO WON! NOW, I've got my IDIOT CONSCIENCE giving ME ORDERS, telling ME TO BE NICE WHEN SHE'S THE ONE WHO STARTED IT!' A tiny-no, large, vein began pulsing on Sesshomaru's forehead.

"Stop that infuriating howling this instant!" he roared loudly. He gazed at Kagome suspiciously for a moment, then asked, "What did you do to me, wench?" She looked up at him quizzically for a moment, before she gathered her thoughts and began speaking.

"Well, um… I can manipulate water, so when I'm battling someone I can pull water from their bodies and use it as a weapon. Also, if there are enough enemies, I can pull all of the water that is inside them out. It automatically dehydrates my opponents completely and they become naught but dust in the wind." She fiddled with her hair for a moment before she spoke again. "I was only pulling about a little out of you, just to make you act nicer."

She watched the heavens for a moment, and smiled sadly at the white fluffy clouds that drifted lazily in the bright afternoon sky. "It wouldn't have killed you, you know. It would have only made you thirsty." She turned her gaze to the heavens again, smiling her sad smile at each fair cloud that had a unique shape to it, and then looked at her lap once more.

Sesshomaru watched as the woman sat on the ground, her long silky black tresses waving in the breeze. He was utterly confused as to what he should do with her. Kill her, or let her go? 'No, I can't let her go until I trust her enough to keep our battle secret. If any of the other lords discovered I was beaten in battle by a woman, they may try to assassinate me and take my lands. I must keep her with me until I know I can trust her. If I cannot, she will have to be disposed of.' Sesshomaru stood, and walking over to the young woman, he kneeled beside her and offered his hand. There was no reason not to act like a gentleman, sometimes.

Kagome stared at his hand cautiously before timidly taking it. Large rough fingers curled around her smaller slender hand, and pulled her up and off of the ground. Immediately he let go and turned. Kagome stood for a moment before she realized she was staring at him, and she hurriedly began dusting off her dress. "Thank you." She said quietly. "And, I'm sorry if… if I hurt you."

"Come, you shall travel with me for a time." Sesshomaru stated and began walking towards the forest. Kagome froze in her place, with her hands in mid-dust. Sesshomaru sensed her silence, and turned his head slightly to look at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Wait a minute," She began. "Hold on. Back up there, Fluffy," she announced, causing Sesshomaru to growl deeply in his chest. She watched him for a minute to make sure he wouldn't attack her for the comment before continuing. "You," She pointed her finger at him. "Want me," she turned the same finger to herself. "To travel with you?" Again, she pointed to Sesshomaru. He nodded slightly.

There was a snorting sound, and Kagome's face crinkled in a wide smile. Another snort was heard and Kagome burst out laughing. Sesshomaru watched her in disregard as she lowered herself to the ground once again. The whole while she held her stomach and tears trickled down her cheeks in swift little streams.

"Hahahahaha! You…(snort)…want me…ha, ha, he! To…(snort)…go with…" She stopped laughing for a moment, taking a breath to fill her lungs and looked up at the rock hard face of her new 'travel-buddy' and snorted again before laughing some more.

Finally she calmed down, and stood up on her own. While she was busy brushing her clothes off, Sesshomaru spoke. "Are you quite finished?" His tone was a little irritated, and his face definitely didn't have an 'I'm Happy!' sign on it.

"Yes, I think I am. Oh, wait a sec," She held up a finger and let out a stream of girlish giggles. "OK, now I'm done." She smiled up at him warmly, and brushed her hair out of her face with one hand. "I'm sorry," she said, "I just couldn't help but laugh when such a weird comment was made, 'cause I know you're joking. Right?" She fell silent waiting for an answer, smiling at him the entire time.

"Wrong." He replied. And a small smirk appeared on his face as he watched her reaction. Her entire face fell as if she had just lost her puppy, and she immediately ceased the giggles that seeped out of her mouth every few seconds. The complete and utter look of embarrassment crossed her visage and Sesshomaru wanted to laugh. The picture was priceless and he would never forget it.

So how was it? Did ya like it? Huh? Huh? It was fun to write this one, and I hope I get some reviews for it. More than the last maybe! Well, it's like, 12:24 am! I've got to go to sleep! I'm glad I took all nigh to write it though, cause I usually write better at night. OH! G2G! Bye!
