Hello to all again! I am writing a lot now (i think i am on a roll!) Usually at this time, i would have writer's block! XD Well, I better let you all go to this next chapter, and hopefully, by Monday or Tuesday, I'll have the next chapter up for you all! Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or anything that is Inuyasha, but I own my own story!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome, what have you gotten yourself into? She opened her eyes and saw the sun shining through the blue sky. She didn't remember where she was at first, but her eyesight viewed in and she saw the forest. I must've fallen asleep here. She couldn't remember when she fell asleep, but it chimed in. Oh yeah… I was crying. She shook the thought away, and tried to get up. She noticed an arm wrapped around her, and noticed the arm was attached to Sesshoumaru.
He looks so peaceful when he is… wait… NO! I can't think like that! She squirmed away from his grasp and stood up to stretch. She looked down onto him and saw he was opening his eyes.
"Good morning!" She smiled. He grunted and sat up onto the tree trunk. A little courtesy would be nice to do to a woman. She sighed and looked up at the sky. "Good day, isn't it?" She looked back at him. "It's like Inuyasha is smiling down on us!" She wanted to cry, but she had to try to get used to his death.
No matter how much she tries, her voice still carries sadness. "Miko."
"What did I tell you about calling me that?" She told him.
"Miko. Follow." She flinched at his cold, emotionless voice, but nodded. I shouldn't be surprised that he is like that. She walked up to him and stood behind him.
"Where are we going?" She asked him.
"To a springs." She gasped.
"What? Do you think I smell or something?" She replied back. He is such a pain!
"No. You are dirty." She looked at her clothes and skin and saw it was full of dirt. Well who would've thought? I do need a bath! He began walking into the direction of the nearest springs. "Are you coming?" She was still looking at the dirt. She looked up and nodded.
"Sorry!" She walked behind him and a silence carried through the two. I wonder what he is thinking about… "Sesshoumaru? What about Rin and Jaken? Shouldn't we be with them just in case something happens to them again?" He looked at the ground and thought about it.
Why does she care about them? Does she want them to be safe like her? "They can be fine on their own for the time being. For now, care about yourself." She nodded and kept walking with him. Why do I sense something with her? He stopped and she ran into him. He glanced behind him and saw her blushing.
She saw him looking at her and she blushed more. "Is something wrong?" She asked him. He kept staring at her. Is something on my face? Is there something wrong?
"Just looking." She was taken away. Wha! Looking at what? I WANT TO KNOW!
"Looking at what?" He looked back again and she blushed again.
"You, Miko." She straightened up and went past him to get to the springs.
"Well the springs are just up ahead, right?" She rushed ahead of him, and he just kept staring at her. That Miko… He walked faster to catch up to her, and she didn't sense him right behind him.
Maybe I got away at the right time… She felt a hand grab her arm and saw it was his arm. Or maybe not… "Sesshoumaru?"
"Miko. I told you to follow, not lead."
"Well I know where the springs are! I don't need someone to escort me!" She freed herself from his grasp and took her leave again. This Sesshoumaru will not take that from a pathetic human. He jumped in front of her and walked ahead. She became mad.
What a jerk… She followed him and finally got to the springs. "You know, it would've been faster if I led." He jumped into the trees and watched her.
"Hurry."
"Don't watch me!" She looked at him.
What is the problem with me watching her? She turned around and walked behind a tree. She began to undress, and he turned his head away. It is immoral for me to see her. She jumped into the springs as quickly as possible, and saw his head turned.
Good! He better not have seen anything! She dunked her head underwater and shot back up. She began scrubbing away the dirt on her skin, and dunked her head again. Within five minutes, she was done.
She stood up from the water, and he stared at her. She quickly ran behind the tree and began to wipe away the excess water. Great, I don't have a towel… She began looking around for something to dry herself with, but couldn't find anything.
"You wouldn't happen to have a towel or something to dry me with, would you?" She yelled to him. She thought it would be a wise idea to actually ask without looking like an idiot looking for something to dry herself. "I asked you…" She looked in the trees and saw he was gone. He ditched me! She sighed and looked straight ahead. She noticed a body in front of her.
"Here." He handed her a piece of cloth and she grabbed it.
"Thanks…" She blushed and he stood there with his back turned. She dressed herself and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Are you dressed now, Miko?" He turned around and noticed her blushing. Is she sick? Wait… why does this Sesshoumaru care if she is sick? Because you love her. This Sesshoumaru will not love a human, let alone a Miko. But you do, and you don't realize it yet. He argued with himself until he spoke again. "Do you get sick often?" She shook her head.
"No. I am fine. I am not sick. It's just…" A tear ran down her face. "I miss him still."
"And that is the reason you are blushing?" He wiped the tear away from her face. A beautiful being deserves no pain.
He cares about me. She stared into his eyes. I think I am blown away. "No. That's not the reason. I just feel horrible for other reasons." Another tear rolled down her face. He couldn't stand to see someone he cared about cry.
"Do not cry. An angelic being must not cry from such a nuisance." That Miko has changed me…
Did he just call me angelic! "I know. Thank you." She wiped away the tears and he turned around. He's so… handsome… Inuyasha… I am so sorry, but I think I fell in love with your brother. She looked up at the sky and smiled. I am sure you don't mind, right? She looked back at Sesshoumaru, and smiled.
Brother, you have cursed me. This Miko… she cares for me… and it seems this Sesshoumaru cares for her now. Kagome… He was surprised that he said her name for the first time. This Sesshoumaru will see how this turns out. "Miko." She straightened up again.
"Yes?" She was getting used to the name, but was still annoyed by it.
"We must get back to the others." He began walking towards the spot where he last left Rin and Jaken. She nodded and followed.
I could get used to being with him… They walked without stopping towards Rin, and she was getting creeped out by the silence. "Sesshoumaru? If I can ask you a question for just a minute," He nodded. "Who is your Lady?" He stopped and she ran into his back again.
Why would she want to bring that up with me? "No Lady resides with me." She began to feel sad for him.
He has been on this land for many years, and he still hasn't settled down with anyone… She felt like crying just for him. "You get sad easily." She stared at him. She nodded in agreement, and couldn't help the tears fall down her face.
"I just feel so bad that you haven't found anyone to help you take charge with your lands." He looked at the ground and then turned around. He glanced down at her and she blushed.
"Do not feel bad for me." She nodded. "This Sesshoumaru doesn't need pity from anyone. Including you, Kagome." She gasped. He used my name… She smiled.
"You smile. It is…" He had to think of the wording for it to sound right. "beautiful on you." She blushed even harder. She closed her eyes, and felt his arms wrap around her. "Do not feel ashamed for this." She held him back. My wish… He opened his eyes and looked at her. My wish is for her to love me back.
My wish is for him to love me back. "Thank you. Thank you so much." He nodded. He backed away from her and walked towards where his servant and his companion lie. She followed him, blushing the whole way.
