After Effect
I have really got to stop dong things on the spur of the moment. Thinking things through thoroughly before I go and do them would be a really, really good idea. I just wish I was smart enough to take my own advice. But, of course, I'm not.
Drink the poison Kagome. The oracle was just trying to be nice and give you a boost against whatever you have to face next. Oh yeah, that was pure brilliance. And because of my brilliance and my trusting of the old hag, I now feel like I just funneled like ten bottles of sake. My limbs are moving with the agility of lead weights and my head feels like it has been packed full of cotton. That is just great.
It wasn't even a gradual thing either. It was like one minute I'm all fine, and then the next, the world has turned into a great blur of color and I can't stand without swaying to keep my balance. I figured I was drunk off the poison, but being that I still wasn't sure of the fact myself, I thought I should test it out loud.
"Me ish drink."
Yup, it was official. I was loaded. Of course at the time I thought it was terribly funny and didn't do anything to stop the giggles from pouring out of me. I was feeling so good that I thought it would be a grand idea to share my happy with someone else. Of course that someone else was the only other person around, and being that the oracle had completely vanished, that was Sesshomaru. I started making my way towards where he had exited the room, calling out to him while doing so.
"Seeesssshoooma…ooff."
The ground came up on me a lot faster than I thought it would have, being that the last time I checked I was standing. But I just giggled uncontrollably, patted the wooden floor like a good pet, and fumbled around to raise myself.
I found a wonderfully placed hanging cloth and started pulling myself up. I struggled a bit with the smooth fabric slipping though my hands, but then I found something that seemed like a much better handle with which to pull myself up with. I was quite startled when my new handle was pulled out of my hand and I was on my feet again.
"Woman that is not a hand-hold"
"Sesssy!"
I couldn't figure out why he sounded so angry at me, and at the time I didn't really care. I was just happy that I found him. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him to let him know just how glad I was that he was there. Of course in doing so I nearly impaled myself on his armor and ended up stumbling backwards and rubbing the area that had been damaged; that being my left breast.
"Owwie," I mumbled. "Bad hard stuff." I stuck my tongue out at his armor and then looked back up to his face.
"Hi there," I greeted as though he hadn't been there all along.
"You are drunk."
"Nuh uhhh," I corrected as I raised my arms to my sides to demonstrate, "I'ms poison."
Unfortunately, raising my arms was a very bad idea because in doing so I lost what little balance I had. I started flapping my arms to try and keep my balance, but the whole flapping thing just made me think of birds, which I thought prudent to share.
"Birdie!" I chirped happily. "Fly, fly little bird!" I instantly forgot my lacking balance and started flapping my way around the room. I didn't make it very far, when I ran into something hard. I tried to back away from the hard object, but then I realized it was holding me.
"Hey! Let go you big meanie!" I yelled at Sesshomaru when I realized it was him holding me. But he didn't let go.
"You need a bath."
"But you just gave me one!" I whined.
"A cold bath."
"No cold!" I yelled as I latched onto him. "Warm…fluffy."
I don't remember him taking us out of the oracle's house because I was too preoccupied snuggling into the fur on his shoulder. But what I do remember very vividly is the feeling of my body hitting ice-water.
I screamed when my head broke through the surface of the water, but he didn't care and proceeded to dunk me under again. The process was repeated many times: me screaming and sputtering for breath, followed by him dunking my head underneath the surface of the chill water. When he finally let go of me, I was not nearly as drunk, but I sure was pissed.
I pulled myself out of the water and stomped right up to him.
"What the hell was that all about!"
"You were intoxicated."
"No I wasn't. I already told you I was poisoned!"
"Do you often drink poison for no reason?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow just to irk me.
"No! And I did have a reason!" He was obviously waiting for me to give him my reason, the problem was; I don't really think I had a good reason. The oracle had eluded that me drinking the poison would somehow help me to deal with Sesshomaru, but she never did give any real reasons why I should poison myself. I decided changing the topic would be a good way to go.
"So what was in the cup anyways? Why was it so important for me to drink it?"
Sesshomaru was obviously very uncomfortable with giving me an answer to my question. His form went so rigid I could probably have grated cheese on him. Cheese? Man, I must be hungry. Anyways, he was not happy, but he still gave me an answer.
"The oracle was being presumptuous."
"She is an oracle isn't she? Maybe she was prophesizing."
"Hn. That was all he said before he turned and started walking away.
"Hey! Wait up!" I called after him. "Where are you going?"
He didn't slow his gait to answer.
"Inuyasha is looking for you."
I decided that I should just let him be for a bit. There was obviously more to the whole poison thing than I knew about, but for the moment I was not going to be able to get any more answers. So I contented myself on following Sesshomaru, and making plans for what I would say to Inuyasha when we met up again.

That was fun :) I know it was short, but it's the second chapter today. I'm on a role ;P This chapter didn't really have a lot to do with anything anyways, it was just funny and fun to write. I got the idea from a reviewer who wanted to know what the poison would do to Kagome, and since I am not ready to tell you, I thought it would be good to have a little fun since I'm going to make you wait anyways.
Anyways, bye for now
