Part 5

Chapter Five

Kagome's eyes went wide, and her body fell limp on top of Sesshomaru's. Butterflies formed in her stomach and she turned beet red. Her mind went kind of blank and she had to struggle with herself to keep from participating. One part of her mind wanted to kiss him back, another was arguing that though he was a good kisser, a really good kisser, that she didn't have any reason to be involved with him.

For a moment the side that wanted to kiss him won and Kagome drowned in the feel of his warm mouth and soft tongue brushing past her own, sending shivers up and down her body. But her defiant side came back full force, and Kagome yanked her face away from Sesshomaru's. She began struggling harder than ever.

Finally, Kagome got an arm free and slapped Sesshomaru across the face, his grip on her immediately fell lax, and his eyes blinked open. Kagome chose this time to roll off of the demon lord and stop a few feet away on the cave floor. Her heart pounding, she slowly pulled herself off the floor and sat up breathing deeply. Her forehead was drenched in sweat and she wiped it away as she turned to see Sesshomaru's reaction.

He was sitting up staring at her with a kind of confusion in his eyes. He slowly and hesitantly reached out to her. Out of suspicion and puzzlement, Kagome drew away. He rapidly recovered his arm and a cold and indifferent mask was placed on his face. He turned his head quickly to stare at the glowing embers of the fire from the night before. "What did I do?" He hissed, almost in a hurt way.

Kagome had not anticipated his reaction to her to be like this and quickly reassured him. "Oh, well you didn't hurt me… if that's what you mean. Oh, it's not… um… how do I put this…you kind of… freaked me out. You um… you… kissed me…" Sesshomaru's head snapped up. "I mean… you… I …w-well… I kissed you first- but only so you'd let go of me- it was just supposed to be a perk nothing long and drawn out…l-like what you did. Um…" Kagome trailed off and turned a deep shade of pink.

Sesshomaru looked at her intently as if trying to see if she was lying. Finally Kagome covered her face with her hands and turned away. The demon didn't know what to do yet again, and he hated it. Something about this woman always made him unsure of what to do next. At last, Sesshomaru noticed the air outside was quiet, and he voiced that the storm had passed. He stood abruptly and rolled the stone out of the way.

Bright yellow sunshine washed over the two, and lit the cave walls behind them. Kagome heard Sesshomaru swear as he whipped around to face her. "Get up. Hurry, we've got to be there by noon."

"Where?" Kagome wanted to know. She stood and leaped into the azure sky along side of her lord. He turned to look at her blankly and said,



"Home."

Kagome and Sesshomaru had been traveling for some time when they came upon a large elegant wooden castle. Vast gardens full of blooming winter flowers, others that were no doubt maintained by magic, spread all around the castle, leaving a small area for an outdoors practice arena. The woman stared at the place in awe, and landed beside Sesshomaru.

"This is where you live!?" she questioned loudly catching a few awkward stares from servants. Sesshomaru answered her bluntly and added a question at the last minute.

"Yes. Why? Did you think I would live in a pigsty?" He walked briskly up to the large oak doors and pushed them open revealing a large room with elegant stairs winding up to floor after floor after floor. Doors along the walls lead to other rooms and beautiful old tapestries hung from the walls. Pictures of large dog demons were depicted on all of them. Kagome was so wrapped up in the room that she didn't notice when Sesshomaru stopped.

"OOF!" Kagome landed on the hardwood floor and looked up sheepishly. "Eh, he, um… oops?" Sesshomaru stared down at her in a strange way, almost as if he wanted to laugh.

"Watch where you are going next time." He turned around to face her as Kagome pulled herself off the ground.

"Well sorry I didn't mean to-"

"I had to be here by noon today for a council meeting, now you will be shown to a room and not disturb us, do I make myself clear?" The cold tone still gave Kagome the chills, and she didn't want to piss him off now, so she agreed.

A servant came up to her after Sesshomaru left and bowed deeply so her long hair almost touched the ground. She looked back up at Kagome with large silvery eyes and motioned for her to follow.

Walking up the numerous flights of stairs, Kagome passed many rooms that must have belonged to the council members, because they had that powerful feel around them. Near the end of the hallway, Kagome was lead past a door that sent shivers up and down her spine. She was positive she knew who was in there, and she did not like that person any longer.

"Kouga I need to leave for a while, I can't stay in the city any longer." A tall wolf demon with long black hair that was pulled back tightly into a ponytail, stared at her with lustful, pale blue eyes. Kagome's skin began to crawl.

"That's fine Kagome; just make sure you return to me when you have finished what ever little trip you are taking. I still have someone for you to drown." The wolf faded into the black forest behind him, while Kagome dove back into the sea with frightened shivers crawling up and down her spine.

She shook the horrible memories out of her head and silently prayed to Kami that her room was not the one next to it. To her relief she was lead up another flight of stairs. And on the right side of the hallway the servant stopped in front of a pair of elegant oak doors. The young woman stopped and turned to face Kagome, smirking. "I believe you will find these rooms most fitting for you, Lady Kagome."

Kagome looked at the woman strangely. What did she mean? Pushing the doors open, she stepped into a room that would suit her best. A bed with water silk sheets was at the far wall, and a large 

balcony overlooking the small coy pond in the gardens was placed near a door on the left side of the room. Walking over to it Kagome opened it, and to her surprise there was a small pool inside, perfect for her to swim in.

Suspicious, Kagome turned to look at the servant and asked, "And why do you think these rooms would suit me best?"A cocky smirk appeared on the woman's face. 'Sesshomaru would slap her if he saw her do that.' Kagome thought without realizing it.

"Because, I'm sure that you need an ample amount of room to swim, what with that long tail of yours." She paused when she realized she forgot to say 'my lady'. Instead she added, "Princess Kagome."

Kagome stood stock-still the moment she heard 'Princess' leave the servants lips, and her mind whirled back to the deep, dark, salty water from her past.
