Alright, my mistake, Sesshomaru get's in trouble in the NEXT chapter.
And for the people who send me messages, I don't really give you much attention unless you fav or alert. Or reviews or something. Because it's just like calling someone on the phone who published a book and say 'hey damn it, update, hurry up!' Glad you like the story, but if you tempt to rush me on posting again, I won't post at all.
Chapter 11
- Previously -
Things could never be simple with a taiyoukai and a miko, and it seemed impossible without giving the other some pain. The miko however was given pain because of what he has done. It was only fair that he would help out the onna that has become so close to him.
He stroked her hair once and then placed a clawed finger under her chin gently to look at her while she looked at him. Kagome looked in his eyes to see a calm but stoic emotion in them. His head went on top of hers and she leaned into them lightly, not knowing what he wanted.
"This one will bear with the hanyou," Sesshomaru stated.
"Hontou…?" She looked up to him.
"Hai, but one wants the privilege to be near that village for what little months are left." He concluded.
"…demo… Inuyasha-"
"Osuwari." The taiyoukai reminded her.
"You'll have to be in the forest, and down wind of us because of Inuyasha."
"…" He gave her a nod.
"So you'll actually be okay with it?" Kagome looked at him a little worriedly.
"This one has allowed two ningens to be apart of his life; it should be natural for at least one hanyou to affect one's life." Sesshomaru stated.
"Arigato!" She hugged him happily in a light way.
"Call for one when it is time, this one must be there."
"Okay, I'll probably have Miroku-sama drive Inuyasha away along with Shippo-chan. Demo… does it mean that you'll help out… or just be there?"
"…this one will help when possible…" he kissed her lips lightly.
"Arigato," she smiled, "I think it'll be weird to have a kabu with you though."
"Deal with it as I am." He growled and kissed her fiercely.
"Hai."
- Now -
Sesshomaru had escorted Kagome to the well by himself slowly so they could be in each others view for a little. Miroku was told to go back to the hut so Sango would know that he was alive. The monk agreed to the request and asked if the miko would be okay alone all by her self. He received a growl from the taiyoukai for saying that she would be alone when already he was by her side, waiting to leave.
Right now, the two of them were at the well, just calmly standing in front of each other. Sesshomaru kept looking around; sniffing about for that clay potted onna who had dared attack the miko he was with. Kagome knew his thoughts, but gave him a hug and went to the edge of the well as she quietly looked him with soft, gently eyes that had eventually passed through him.
"Well, I guess I'll be seeing you around every now and then since you're going to be around more often." Kagome said softly.
"Once a day this one wishes to see you, since your progress with a hanyou kabu is highly dangerous." Sesshomaru stated coldly as he stared down at her with his amber eyes.
"Naze?" She began to look worried.
"As you've said before, the combination of a miko and taiyoukai, may not work as well as you would hope."
"Demo… Izayoi and your-"
"It was a fowl creature; a pathetic ningen excuse of a hime, while you, however, are a miko."
She pouted, "Oh, so… is being a miko so terrible."
The taiyoukai glared, but gave her a small peck on the forehead, "this one does not mind."
"On any account, I guess I should probably go to the doctors tomorrow then." Kagome sighed.
"Doctors?"
"Um, they're… ningens who take care of others; the have technology to look inside bodies, so they could see how the kabu would be doing."
"This one would not dare tempt to trust such disrespectful ningens." He growled at the though alone.
"Well, I wish you could come with me Sesshomaru," she laughed in a joking way, "I have to go now so I can get some sleep."
Sesshomaru looked at her in the eyes as she did the same to him. Their faces came closer and they shared a kiss. Kagome realized that they needed to breathe, so she lightly tugged him away lightly.
"We should really stop, Sesshomaru, it's just wiser that way… or… I think so at least…" Kagome stated.
"If that is what you want." Sesshomaru nodded.
She smiled, "it's been a while since I've seen your face," her fingers traced his red cheek markings.
"Is that bad?" He questioned.
"Iie… I've missed it; I felt worried the night I said for you to leave."
'That was the time this one had called you by your name in admitting worry.' Sesshomaru caressed her cheek, 'she can hear me call for her.'
"Ja ne." Kagome slid into the well carefully and allowed the blue and white orbs to engulf her.
"…" Sesshomaru towered over the well in a bored fashion. 'The miko did wish for me to follow.'
Kagome climbed the ladder out of the well then sighed in relief. Starting to walk up the stairs, she saw a glow of blue lights behind her; a sinking feeling came into her gut, and she believed Inuyasha followed her. She turned around and sighed as she waited for the inu hanyou to come out.
"Hurry up and get out of the well so I can 'osuwari' you." Kagome stated gruffly while waiting.
The taiyoukai jumped out and in front of her; growling. "This one isn't that hanyou, miko."
"S-Sesshomaru, nani- naze- how the hell did you get through the well!" She was more confused than heck.
"…you wished for this one to come… so this one did so… " he stated plainly to her with no real emotion.
"Yeah, but it's dangerous here, everyone is a ningen; you might kill someone here!" Kagome explained to him worriedly.
"This one shall not kill, unless, you say other wise." Sesshomaru stated coldly to her, again with no emotion.
"What did you say…?" She asked in complete disbelief, and hoped she had heard him right.
"This one will obey whilst visiting this… era…" He slid the door open and then asked in an amused taunting voice, "coming miko?"
"If I said 'stand on one foot,' would you?" Kagome asked as she walked out and closed the sliding door and walk to the house.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow while following her, "if it was needed, then this one supposes that it would happen."
She turned around and looked at him, "okay, then prove it for me; stand on one foot, Sesshomaru."
Sighing in much annoyance with the miko in front of him, he lifted his right leg up and balanced. Kagome laughed lightly at the scene and touched his leg, making it go down. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him lightly on the lips, and he took her kiss as a reward for listening to her.
"D-do you want come inside, or just sleep out here?" She asked curiously, still a little surprised at seeing him.
"Inside, this one does not wish to stay outside." Sesshomaru stated.
"Okay, but you have to go through the house and stairs because I doubt you want to go through the window."
"Very well."
"Come on now," she grabbed his clawed hand, "just… don't kill the neko, my family will go berserk."
"Keh."
Nice and slowly, Kagome took her time to the back door and looked up at him. The taiyoukai looked a little annoyed and so he placed his stoic face on then let out at sigh. Kagome was a little worried because she didn't know what was going to happen once he walked into the house.
"Okasan, Jii-chan, nii-chan, tadaima!" Kagome called out as she took her shoes off and forced Sesshomaru to do the same.
Walking was instantly heard coming from the kitchen doorway by both of them so they looked in that direction. Kagome's mother; Rei, had come walking in with a smile because she heard her daughter, but froze at the sight of the tall man. The expression on her face was priceless, and showed much fear; Sesshomaru chuckled lightly with amusement which didn't last long when a glare was passed his way by Kagome, so he stopped and snorted lightly.
"Konbonwa okasan… um…" Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and then back at her mother, "this is Sesshomaru…" she looked back at Sesshomaru, "Sesshomaru, this is my okasan; Higurashi Rei."
"Well, I suppose it's a pleasure to meet you… Sesshomaru-sama…" Rei said nervously to the taiyoukai.
"Indeed," he replied coldly.
"Be nice or your going back." Kagome glared after nudging him in the shoulder, motioning him to not do it again.
A growl was summoned and his attention turned to her mother with a bow, "this one apologizes, Higurashi-sama."
Rei blushed and bowed back, "it's quite alright, arigato," she stood up as did he, and then looked at Kagome, "he's quite the gentlemen; is he you new boyfriend?"
'Boyfriend?' He looked over towards Kagome with a suspicious glare; wondering what her mother meant.
The miko had a deep shade of red on her face. "I-iie, h-he's just a friend,' then scratched her head mumbling, "And the creator of the kabu."
"Oh, so he's you husband, that's even more kawaii." Rei smiled as she thought she understood.
"Iie!" Kagome blushed twelve times redder and walked away. "We're going to my room!"
"Don't you want something to eat Kagome?" Rei asked curiously with the expression to match it.
"Iie," she started to walk and froze when she saw Sesshomaru in front of her, "are you trying to give me a heart attack!"
"Eat." Sesshomaru demanded.
"I'm not hungry." Kagome glared.
"You eat for a kabu as well, not just yourself anymore, remember that." He growled at her coldly.
"Fine."
Kagome sighed and went into the kitchen with Rei leading and Sesshomaru following. In the kitchen was Kagome's grandfather who they all called 'Jii-chan' since it was nicer than 'old geezer,' right? Jii-chan saw Sesshomaru and got up on his feet with a sutra and ran after him. It was practically the same way as he would when he would see Inuyasha coming in the house sometimes.
"Youkai be gone-!" Jii-chan was stopped.
His wrist was being help by his pregnant granddaughter and he looked at her confusedly. Sesshomaru was already growling at the old man who aimed a sutra at his head, and was reluctantly grateful that the miko saved the old guy. Kagome took away the sutra from her grandfather and slipping it into her pocket.
"How many times do I have to tell you to 'stop using your sutras' on everyone that comes here?" Kagome said with annoyance.
"Demo, he's a youkai…" Jii-chan whined; wanting his sutra back.
"Iie, he's a taiyoukai; there's a difference, so behave and go finish your dinner before there's chaos."
"He better not torture the Buyo or I'll be teaching him a thing or two." He snorted and went to his seat.
"He's won't Jii-chan, this one is more tamed than Inuyasha." She stated then looked at Sesshomaru. "This is Jii-chan, he thinks he's a real saishi," her attention went to Jii-chan, "Jii-chan, this is Sesshomaru; a taiyoukai of the west and kyodai to Inuyasha."
"Half Kyodai," Sesshomaru corrected her.
"Okay, okay, half," she sighed, "why don't you just go take a seat Sesshomaru at the table?"
"Iie, this one will stand."
She sighed, "fine, I'm not going to even bother with an argument."
"Here you go Kagome; you can just eat in your room so Sesshomaru-sama can be separated from Jii-chan." Rei smiled.
"Arigato okasan."
Kagome's mother handed her a big bowl of chicken teriyaki with rice and Kagome's mouth opened in shock. Nonetheless though, she took it and left the kitchen with Sesshomaru following her. The two went up the stairs, down the hall, and in her bedroom.
"Sesshomaru," she called out as she placed the food on the table, "you can stay in here if you want; I'm just going to go check on my nii-chan."
"This one doesn't want you out of sight." Sesshomaru stated.
"Okay, but be quiet; he's probably tired or something since he's not jumping around the house like normally."
"As if this one would talk to it."
"…" She glared at him.
"Gomen," he then looked away, 'if this one behaves and kills no one, the miko perhaps will find interest.'
The two of them left the room and went down the hall in front of another door. Kagome quietly opened it and found it dark. Her little brother Souta was sound asleep, but she went in anyways and sat on the side of his bed.
"Oi," Kagome shook him lightly and watched him begin to tiredly wake up to the familiar voice.
"Nee…-chan…?" Souta mumbled out.
"Mhmm, I came home tonight to do something tomorrow, how you doing? You went to bed early; are you sick?"
"A little, so Jii-chan said to sleep early after giving me some yucky medicine." He groaned.
She kissed his forehead, "okay, go back to sleep then."
"Matte…"
"Hmm?" The miko looked at her ten year old brother.
"I want to hear."
"Okay."
Sesshomaru didn't understand the question until he saw it in motion. The young boy sat up in bed and hugged her stomach lightly with his ear against her. It was a little confusing to the taiyoukai, however, would not admit it.
"Now go to bed," Kagome rustled his hair.
"Nee-chan, who's that?" Souta pointed tiredly to the taiyoukai.
"That's Sesshomaru-nii-chan."
"Okay."
Souta lied back down and went soundly to sleep practically in an instant. Kagome got up and they left into her room. Grabbing her bowl with chopsticks, she sat down on her bed, and told Sesshomaru to do the same in which he surprisingly listened.
"Do you want some? It's really good, I promise." Kagome said sweetly after taking another bite.
"Very well," he replied in little irritation, knowing that she wouldn't give him disgusting things this time.
"Kay."
Kagome grabbed some chicken and rice with her chopsticks and fed it to him happily. It was obvious that Sesshomaru liked it because he growled with please. She smiled happily and was only allowed to give him two more bites till he told her that she was the one who needed to eat.
"So how come your listen to me now but you weren't downstairs?" Kagome frowned with annoyance.
"This one meant no disrespect to you; one merely just did not want ningens to see vulnerability in this taiyoukai so no harm may come to us," Sesshomaru stated.
"Uso," she took a bit of her food.
"…" He didn't argue with her.
"So are you going to stay here tomorrow, go back to your era, or will come with me to have the kabu checked?"
"This one will stay with you."
"Then you're going in modern clothes." She stated
"Iie."
"Then you're going back in the morning."
"This one will go with you in his accessories and not something so exploiting." Sesshomaru growled.
"That's not going to happen; either you wear some modern clothes or else you won't go."
"Are you threatening this one?"
"Knowing that a man will be touching me in several places is bad enough, if you don't want to go and support me, then fine! I'll have my okasan to go with-!"
Sesshomaru made her shut up with a kiss so she would hopefully calm down even though his fangs bit on her lips, causing blood to drip on her chin. They were sitting side by side with their heads turned; kissing each other. Kagome realized what he was doing and so she stopped.
"It's your choice to come or not, but if you go…" she sighed, "it would really help if you wear the type of clothing that we do so you won't attract any attention then you have to. Having one arm is already eye catching," she touched his face and bangs, "your hair and face markings will too."
Sesshomaru looked away in annoyance that the miko placed upon him. So, his lost arm would draw up some attention from ningens? Sighing with frustration, he stood up, and looked at her to see those blue eyes look at him.
"This one will be back and also accepts the exception of modern clothing." Sesshomaru told her.
"Arigato, it helps a lot, but where are you going?"
"To the 'feudal' era as you call it; this one needs to retrieve something."
She stood up looking at him, "are you going to be coming back tonight or stay there till morning?"
"Hai, this one will be gone not long, so do not worry." He stroked her hair in a gently manner.
"I guess you have to go in and out through the window so you won't disturb everyone when they sleep."
"That is fine."
Kagome opened the window widely and sat on the chair to be out of his way. Sesshomaru placed his foot on the windowsill, and then placed it back on the ground. Confusedly, Kagome wondered what was wrong and lightly tugged his robe sleeve.
"This one needs his boots." Sesshomaru stated.
"Okay, I'll go get them," two kicks appeared and hurt her, "itte."
"Iie, this one will take care of it, you shall rest till my return."
"I don't even know where you going, that's kind of not fair." She pouted.
"Are we mates?"
"Iie, stop that."
"Then you do not need to know," he left through her door.
Her mouth hung open, stunned on how he just did that. "That son of an ikeike…" Looking out the window, she saw Sesshomaru walk to the well, and yelled, "You damn wise ass!" Kagome saw that he stopped and looked at her, so she slid the window shut and sat in her seat; blushing.
Chuckling with a taunt, Sesshomaru walked continuously to the well, 'And here this one thought that she would be amused by humor.'
Well, there's chapter eleven for you... I'm still not sure if I should post everyday though Oo; not many people like to review me huh? lmao.
