Hyousetsu: I'm so sorry for the delay! I was typing another fic for my sis, The 20 Days of Christmas… Sorry for all the spelling errors all around, and the shortness of the chapters… chapter 7 and 8 were supposed to be one chapter, but I decided to post the first part up, then the second, so it would have been a little bit faster. Sorry if the last chapter was very disappointing… I'll try harder, and thank you to all the great reviewers and reviews I got for all the past chapters! They're really nice  On with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own INUYASHA!

Chapter 8: Meeting the Other Side

Kagome followed behind the pissed Sesshoumaru, and peered curiously at him, while he took long strides toward the mansion of the Taishos'. She wondered why Sesshoumaru was so offensive about letting her know about their little "secret". She would have to be informed at a time, if it wasn't right now, since she was staying for one whole month. She frowned. It wasn't that bad… Was it? She didn't expect her self to be surprised, but nonetheless, she was a bit shocked when she saw how puffy Inuyasha's ears were. She wondered about what Sesshoumaru would look like when he removed the seal from his "human" features. Must be great looking… She thought, a bit dazed, and her consciousness mentally slapped herself when she finally realized what she was thinking about. Baka Kagome! Don't you be thinking about all those naughty thoughts! And, he's that great looking… There must be a ton of fan girls all over him…I have to admit, he's hot. She didn't realize that she was staring, and Sesshoumaru glare behind his back at her, his eyes shining dangerously.

What the hell? He thought, as he watched the expressions on Kagome's face turn to one of curiosity, then disgust, followed by one of much depression. To say the least, it was quite amusing. He smirked as he wondered what was running through her head at the very moment.

"You know that it's impolite to stare, women." Kagome snapped out of her daze, facing Sesshoumaru's amused expression, and restrained from smacking the arrogant youkai on the face. Her face flushed a various shades of red, and she looked down. Damn. She didn't notice… She couldn't believe that she was caught staring – at the silver haired demon, nonetheless. She felt, embarrassed, at some rate. Finally, after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, she grumbled something under her breath, her cheeks ablaze, and stomped her way to the mansion, Sesshoumaru following behind her, curiosity taking over while he followed lazily behind the furious raven headed girl.

Kagome had unconsciously wandered to the gardens during her rampage around the mansion - though she herself had not realized, but she was utterly lost – again. She growled, remembering something that she did not want to remember - something that involved a certain silver haired overly arrogant youkai. Not to mention, stunning golden eyes, and those -

"Lost again?" said a smooth voice behind her, and Kagome stiffened visibly, snapping back to reality. She spied the familiar pair of amber orbs and the arrogant smirk plastered on the Sesshoumaru's face. Growling to herself, she sat down on the soft grass, her slender feet stretched out in front of her. She was damn cursed.

Sesshoumaru looked at her from behind, and smirked softly. Kagome stiffened, and she turned back to glower at him from her place on the hill. Her dark locks twirled in the light breeze, and her pale skin glowed a orange glow. She was panting slightly, her dark brown orbs angrily glaring at the youkai behind her. Sesshoumaru looked at her, his face showing a trace of a smirk. A feeling of slight annoyance and something else – a warm feeling - flooded Kagome when she looked at him. She didn't notice the pink tinge that was spreading its self on her cheeks again, making her face slightly pink. The same arrogant look and arrogant smirk… She 'hmphed', and turned back to the hill, where her hand grabbed onto a blade of grass and twiddling it between her slender fingers. She looked at the sunset, while her mind was tumbling over what to say to the guy beside her, who also settled down on the patch of grass right beside hers.

Sesshoumaru looked at the nervous women beside him; sweat was accumulating at Kagome's brow. He raised an eyebrow, while settling himself beside her. Kagome flushed once again, this time of another emotion other then embarrassment. She fiddled with her fingers. Mustering all her courage, she asked a question that she had wanted the answer to since she saw the puffy fur on Inuyasha's ears:

"Why didn't Inutaisho tell me?" Sesshoumaru looked at her, a questioning look in his eyes, while he glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.

"I mean," Kagome muttered in a voice that was barely audible, and she flushed a cherry like red, "that you guys were, um, youkai?" She didn't miss the look of solemn surprise on Sesshoumaru's face, and she smirked slightly at that, her lips twirling upwards. She had just out witted the almighty Sesshoumaru!

Yay.

"Well, it was suppose to be a secret, I suppose." said Sesshoumaru, while he looked at Inuyasha, who was still shouting around with Miroku and Sango at the foot of the hill, in search of the missing Kagome. "Until someone messed it up." He glared at Inuyasha, who did a sneezing movement, and Sesshoumaru smirked. Kagome managed to catch Inuyasha's sneeze, and laughed genuinely when she saw Miroku do a chastising motion at the fuming hanyou at the foot of the small hill they were resting on.

Inuyasha sneezed, while Miroku looked at him in sympathetically. "Someone must be talking about me…" Inuyasha grumbled, wiping his nose with his sleeve, much to Sango's disgust. Miroku just smiled a bit, and wagged a long finger at the pissed-off Hanyou. "Staying in the water won't do you any good, Inuyasha!" Miroku chastised, as Inuyasha growled threatening. "I'll kill you if you say that again!" He threatened, and Miroku ran off smiling, all the while a pissed off Inuyasha chasing after him. Sango smacked her face, and sighed loudly. She didn't really much want to be infected by the stupid immature vibes the twosomes were giving off…

Kagome looked at Inuyasha while he chased Miroku around, and she turned slightly, sizing up the silver haired youkai beside her. He, somehow, caught her staring without looking at her. "You should quit the staring, Kagome." She blushed, and looked away, and Sesshoumaru smirked. Suddenly, she eyed him, eyes wide, and Sesshoumaru cocked an eyebrow. After a long term of staring, Sesshoumaru had decided that he had enough. "Quit the staring." He growled, and Kagome just looked at him, a smile tugging on her faint pink lips. "Fine, if you wish, Mr. I'm-So-Great."

Barely resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Sesshoumaru stood up and turned, heading back to the mansion, and Kagome stood up, dusting off, and followed after him. They heard the booming voice of Inutaisho as he shouted "I'm Home!", and Kagome giggled slighty at the commotion, and she raced back to the house and smashed open the door, while waving to the still walking Sesshoumaru, smiling.

Sesshoumaru allowed a rare smile to alter his normally emotionless facade, and Kagome ran inside, her head peeking out, and she waved for him to hurry up. However, Sesshoumaru kept his pace, and he eyed the setting sun, pink and orange rays casting a slight glow onto his pale features.

Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as I thought…
