Chapter 8:Caring Mother & Growling Kagome

Morning came just as it usually did and Inuyasha was awake along with the sun and remembered that he was still searching for Kagome. With that in mind he got up stretched and continued his search. Although he was finding difficult to find Kagome. I should have at least found her sent by now why can't I find her? He growled to him self as he became frustrated at the absence of Kagome When I find her she had better be alright because if she has a single hair out of place the person responsible will pay dearly continuing to growl.

Finally after a hole day and a half of looking for Kagome he was finally able to manage to pick up the smallest hint of her sent. Why has it taken me so long to be able to smell the slightest hint of her? He wondered as he fallowed her sent but ever so cheerfully so as not to lose it.

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

Sesshomaru continued to watch over her the remainder of the night to the early morning light. Sighing at his own confusion as he tried to figure out the girl that lay before him. He began to think back to a story...or was it a prophecy? that his mother had told him as a young child

Flashback:

The young Sesshomaru laying in bed and his mother tucking him in. "Mama can you tell me a story?" said the young and innocent Sesshomaru as he looked up to the eyes of his loving demon mother. "As you wish my son" she said the demoness with warm caring eye of that of a mother "Once upon a time" she began as she placed a gentle hand on the cheek of her son and continued with the story. When finished with the story she kissed her son lightly on the forehead and bid him good night and left the room for the young Sesshomaru to drift into a sound sleep.

End Flashback

Sesshomaru sighed as he had remembered his mother. His father had banished her during the night and had never seen his mother since. It was just that her story had remedied him of Kagome and and this truly magnificent sword that his mother had told him in the hands of a..human? But the story told him other wise. What is it about her...that soo.. Different? Could she really be the one his mother spoke of in the story? He then turned back to look at Kagome who seemed to be slowly wakening. So he had slipped into the shadows as not to startle her when she had fully woken up but couldn't help but brush a few bangs away from her face before settling himself into the shadows.

It was just then that Inuyasha came bursting from the forest and looked around and find Kagome in shear terror at the sudden and unexpected noise and screamed only to find that she couldn't because Inuyasha was holding his hand over her mouth. Calming seeing that the intruder was Inuyasha and then noticing something ells that was hiding in the bushes and her eyes opening in fright. Then realized what it was that was hiding in the shadows as had come out of its hiding place glaring at Inuyasha who still had a firm hold over her mouth. Kagome getting impatient with Inuyasha still holding her mouth shut she bit his hand to wake him up from his intense glaring with Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha noticing the pain the shot though his hand realized that Kagome had just bitten him he let her go. Only to be then finding himself face to face with dirt. Kagome had yelled the word 'Sit' and Inuyasha had fallen to the ground behind her. Smirking slightly at Inuyasha that was now incapable of movement Kagome turned her attention to the other being that was nearing her.

Kagome began blushing at the remembrance of their last meeting and again began asking her self the questions that haunted her mind Why did he not kill me as he has tried to do in the past? Why now is it that he shows these...feeling? She asked her self in disbelief that the great tiyouki of the west could show feelings such as love, companion, and even lust towards humans much less anyone ells at all.

Shaking her self from her thoughts as she could feel the presence of Sesshomaru right in front of her and Inuyasha slowly getting up as the spell finally wearing off. Sesshomaru grabbing Kagome from the front and Inuyasha grabbing Kagome from the back as both brothers growled at each other for the other to let go of her.

Kagome now feeling a little insecure in-between the two brothers grasps Kagome's eyes widened in shock. Neither brother took their eyes off one another for fear that they would loss their grasp on Kagome the brothers continued to growl. A sweat dropped from Kagome's head in annoyance that neither of them were going to let her go. "Ok guys don't you think that your both being a little immature?" she asked in and annoyed voice. The brothers continued to growl at each other.

"Oh come on you guys lay off all right im not a possession that you guys can fight over don't I get a say in this or not?" she growled at the brothers that were still making no move of letting her go. Getting frustrated now finally just gave up seeing as both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were not paying attention. Although Sesshomaru showing sines that he wanted to comply with her request but was still afraid of losing her. Inuyasha just totally ignoring her pleas wich made Kagome a little hurt that of all people Inuyasha was not listening to her.

Sesshomaru giving in to her pleas complied with her wishes and let her go although hesitantly. Inuyasha ceasing the moment of opportunity flung Kagome behind him as if to protect her. Just then both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha could hear a growling that seemed to be coming from Kagome. They both looked at her in surprise unknowing to them that it was possible for a normal human to 'growl' as she did. Both brothers looked at Kagome in surprise. "FINLAY.. Its about time that you guys noticed!" Kagome growled again only shocking the brother even more. "Oh and Inuyasha" Kagome said in the sweetest voice she could muster before unleashing her fury. "Sitsitsitsitsitsitsitsit" The hanyou then falling to the ground with muffled curses not far behind.

Sesshomaru silently glad that the same spell that his brother has was not one that he him self bore. Sesshomaru raced to Kagome to hold her in a tight embrace before laughing smugly at his brother "Haha now she is mine for the taking" then smelling Kagome's sent "dear brother you have left her unmarked..and unprotected.."smiling smugly again "this is a misstate that I myself will not make" and then leaping into the air with Kagome still in his arms. "HEY! What gives? Let me go you jerk!" Kagome said frantically as Sesshomaru continued to travel with her still in his arms. "INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled.

Inuyasha felt helplessly lost as all he could do was watch his brother steel Kagome and cursing himself that he was unable to protect her because of her own stupidity. "SESSHOMARU WHEN I GET YOU..." he growled momentarily before jumping to his feet as he could feel the spell wearing off.
