DO NOT DISTURB

Lady Nefertiti

Last time: It appeared to his inner demon-he wasn't satisfied. Talk about odd misunderstandings….

Rumble: Roar, thunder, crash etc….

Chapter 7: Disturbance Rumble

The fire in the hut was slowly dying out as everyone was trying to relax and sleep. It had been a long night and there was still tension in the air; everyone could tell. Besides this Affair word had probably put everyone 'on edge' so to speak since Miroku had assumed the worst about what it really was.

Inuyasha was always trying to get himself killed by jumping to false and random conclusions-mostly by Sesshomaru -out of irritation? Embarrassing their great Taisho family name? One could never guess.

Due to the fire slowly dying the weather was getting colder and the hut wasn't exactly insulated with heat etc like a modern house from the future. Kagome shivered as she sat in the corner and looked at the rest of the tachi. She made an inward mental note to pack and bring back warmer clothes when she went back home. She curled up into a ball to keep herself warm. Thankfully everyone at least had blankets.

Unbeknownst to anyone else (except her since she was the only one who noticed) Miroku had scooted closer towards Sango and they were snuggled together in one blanket to keep each other warm. So err…Sango was okay with this now? Surely she would've or should've slapped him silly by now. Seemed like people do change as she looked at the pair wistfully? Want? And sighed shaking her head now staring at the ceiling. Damn her and her wishful thinking.

Inuyasha…..well his clothes were 'fire-proof' so maybe they were insulated to keep him warm too? And since he wasn't using a blanket either? But then he didn't wear shoes either….hmm….

'…'

Suddenly she heard loud thunder, wind and a crash nearby and tried not to jump or panic. Great. Just great. Now it was raining with thunder and lightning and everything. She had not been afraid of it but it always made her feel nervous and put her on edge and she bit her lip. Of course she'd never admit that the 'thunder' of Inuyasha's sword and the damage it did to others made her nervous as well. She didn't like to see other people or things suffer or hurt.

…..And Inuyasha yelling 'Hi-yah! Or Die! Or making some sort of weird war-cry didn't help…..

-Sesshomaru-

He was sitting in his own corner, arms crossed. He had been watching Kagome and her behavior for a while now. One minute she was anxious, happy, sad, wistful, and curious? Jittery, scared? Humans sure could change their emotions very fast. He wondered what she was thinking about. He then saw her 'steel a glance' at the slayer and houshi and raised an eyebrow. Interesting. Was she…..no….that wasn't it. One might think she was jealous of Sango and Miroku and their loving relationship/behavior (and she wanted the same) but that wasn't it.

Her eyes were rather sad. That sad smile. That face she never showed to anyone when they traveled/were awake. She then stared at the hut's ceiling then-a blank expression and she shivered from the cold. She just looked so lonely, forlorn and lost in time.

Lost in time…..was she happy here at all? Despite her being in the Sengoku Jidai for years he was sure she would never be accustomed (familiar, comfortable) with living here.

It was rather troubling to see this. She was usually the cheery, fiery one (who also sat Inuyasha more times than he could count), one that he could actually talk and reason with of their group. Then again, why did he even care? She was just one of their tachi members. One who-as Inuyasha always yelled and 'rubbed in' his face was 'his woman and his alpha' so don't touch. And why this bothered him so much was beyond him.

Wondering what to do for a second (and IF he should do anything at all) he stood up in complete silence and made his way to the other side of the room. Demon on a mission perhaps? Did he have his own personal agenda?

Good that he and Kagome were the only ones awake-if that made it sound any better.

'….'

-Kagome's thoughts-

Kagome thought she heard something and looked up blinking up at Sesshomaru with a questioning expression. He was….why had he come over here and was looking down at her now like that? It made her heart skip too fast? Not that they had any romantic feelings for each other at all since the beginning of time (since she'd first met him). Still those amber eyes of his seared into her very soul-just like always.

At least he'd distracted her from the thunder outside and come to think of it he really was an excellent reason to be distracted…..

"Ano….." she started wondering what exactly to say or not to say. This guy sure was vague sometimes and she couldn't guess what was going through his mind. So unlike Inuyasha who you could 'read like an open book' so to speak and knew what he was about to say.

"Eeehh?!" Kagome exclaimed quietly (since everyone was sleeping/out) as Sesshomaru picked her up and wrapped an arm around her pulling her closer to him that she could feel the silk of his clothes against her and she blushed hoping he hadn't caught it. She wondered if he even knew what HE was doing at the moment. He was all about his 'dirty humans breed/population' Even hanyou's weren't any better to him (even if they had demon blood) in them.

How depressing…..

HE was really warm though….huh? No! No! bad Kagome! She thought shaking her head.

Back to more important things: What were they doing? Where were they going—if they were even? What if someone saw this right now? (Miroku didn't count) Kagome would be doomed forever! That she and Sesshomaru really did 'stuff' behind the scenes! GAHHH!

Wait…hold..on…just….a second….huh? Sesshomaru was holding her against 'his self' in a loving manner?! Did she just die? Was she already dead? (Of course she'd never admit this felt more than just nice) she didn't like him! Ha-ha! Not at all! He was just keeping her warm and that was it.

Convenient excuse…

So then she should've been screaming that she was being held against her will and was about to get taken away right? She was in danger? And Sesshomaru was a kidnapper? Right?

Well a seriously hot, sexy kidnapper you'd want to run away with…so everything was just fine! Ha-ha nothing to worry about. Now the big question was how to disappear with this guy without anyone noticing until the pair was long gone.

She blinked up at him and wondered what she should do/say now (she had determined Sesshomaru was as 'safe as they go' type of guys) and instead found herself being dragged away in a loving manner and out of the hut? What was this guy up to? As the pair left the hut (could it be leaving the safety of the hut maybe that made her jittery? But she was safe already right?) and out the doors. Seemed like HE wasn't worried about anything.

It was just Inuyasha's job to say: 'Sesshomaru is dangerous and NOT a saint 'who did no wrong' Kagome! So get that through your thick head!' She already knew both brother's would never see 'eye to eye' so to speak and bit her lip.

It had stopped raining-for the moment it seemed but the thunder and lightning still made her jumpy. And besides the pair were almost to the tree line and everyone knew that you should NEVER be under a tree (s) when a storm like that hits. Being in Sesshomaru's embrace gave her a sense of comfort though.

He stopped at a large tree which was far enough from the village and out of earshot for them to get caught soon. The tree 'loomed' and 'blanketed' over them which hid the both of them very well. Inwardly she wondered if anyone had already found the pair missing.

Inuyasha would come storming out of the hut like a wave of thunder, roaring profanity as he ran around waving his sword like a mad-man….

Miroku would either go into his 'pervy monk' or 'wise-monk' mode and assume the best or worst and nod his head that he had known 'it' all along since his 'hentai radar' told him everything! It had never lied to him.

Sango on the other hand-although she knew Sesshomaru meant no harm and respected him he was STILL a demon to her and she was wary of anyone demon and besides their Taisho bloodline-royal at that and what/who he was would put any demon slayer on edge.

Suddenly the crash of a nearby tree and it breaking before her eyes (about to the hit the pair) broke her out of her 'mulling thoughts' she found herself being backed against the tree? A very loud noise resounded and then she coughed. What? She wasn't hurt? She blinked as she looked up into his amber orbs. First time she didn't know what to say or what not to say.

He looked down at her-almost an expression of concern? Maybe? Like she'd been hurt? No way. She'd definitely was hallucinating (imagining) it and wondered whether she should push him away with a 'thank you very much?' or just stay where she was.

Apparently she'd forgotten about those hands of hers on his chest…

"Ano…." Kagome started feeling something stirring in the lower half of her body and desperately tried to stop it so he didn't find out or sense it beforehand. Damn demons and their superior sense of smell.

She was not aroused by this…. Not in the very least! So what if their bodies were pressed up together against a tree? So much she could run her hands through his hair, touch the silk of his clothes, stand up on her toes to kiss him and feel the heat between their bodies?

'…..'

"Are you well Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked in his usual calm tone not really wanting to back away from her and not knowing why really. Because she smelled nice? He shook his head, uncertain -perhaps for the first time in his life why or when he had become so concerned about her. Did he like her or something? It was a rather troubling thought.

His inner demon was telling him something else at the moment that he was trying to ignore. Key Word: Trying. Inner demon was more powerful and always 'egged' him to do certain things or 'hurry and get on with it' since Sesshomaru was a 'stubborn fool' who was blind when it came to woman/female kind.

….but for how long was he going to ignore his inner demons and his primitive thoughts?

"Ah! I am just fine….uhh..thanks." Kagome choked and stammered out—a shiver down her spine. She was not used to being this close of a proximity to him before. He had nodded that he bought that explanation and amber looked into azure eyes for a second in silence. Kagome swallowed and then he said it was best if they got out of this rain and to where it was safer.

So were they going back to the hut then? She nodded and he backed away from her to which she didn't look happy about and sighed inwardly saying, 'I knew it. Damn me and my girly wishful thinking! Baka! He don't like you! Let alone have any romantic feelings for you!' He was just here to do his job as a group member of their tachi.

Like he had ulterior motives and wanted to run away with her because he loved her or something! This wasn't some sort of love and dirty romance novels she read about. Besides she hardly doubted that this era knew how to do 'that dirty sexy stuff' anyway. In a way it was rather disappointing?

But of course this era could be taught on how to do dirty things by Kagome of course. And Sesshomaru would be the first 'prey' of sorts…..

'…'

So this thought from Kagome came from where exactly?

"Are you coming?" Sesshomaru asked calmly. She seemed to be in deep thought of sorts and her aura had spiked somewhat when she glanced his way. Hmmm…was he in danger maybe?

'…'

"Ah yes!" Kagome said shaking her head. She had been caught daydreaming! And hurriedly followed after him. Where were they going? Thankfully it had stopped raining as the pair made their way away from the large tree.

At least she was safe while she was with him that was the good part. But was he the danger that Kagome was supposed to be worried and wary about?

"So where are we going anyway? The village is in the other direction." Kagome said wondering if she should be irritated or confused. What was this guy up to? She stopped walking suddenly frozen? In place and blinked. Huh? Wasn't that….The way they were going was towards the western lands-even she knew the direction.

Being a Miko she could sense the demonic aura coming from there which was very strong and wondered if had decided to visit the palace for a few days before continuing on their journey. She was sure he had to 'show face' at his home/palace sometimes…

GASP! They weren't were they?! Was this…..were they running away together like in her dirty novels?! Were the two eloping? This was the only way then. When everyone was sleeping and wondered why she was feeling and getting excited for. She sighed as she stared at his back.

Perhaps she really was sexually frustrated (as her friends from the future told her) about to ask why she was the only one with him and why hadn't they left a note behind so others wouldn't worry-and more importantly Inuyasha wouldn't jump to ridiculous conclusions about the two that he had been right all along.

Haaa…..

"Kagome." Sesshomaru said- his back still to her. He knew she had stopped walking.

"Uhmm….well…." Kagome said.

"We'll return soon enough." Sesshomaru said in a 'tone' that there was nothing to worry about. Since his back was to her she hadn't caught that devilish smirk on his face that would make even Kagome's heart either stop beating or roar with certain thunder.

Lady Nefertiti: Sesshomaru in danger. That'll be the day lol….Please read and review! Thanks.
