Souta's Best Friend

Disclaimer: I will admit it..I don't own Inuyasha nor FullMetal Alchemist but that doesn't mean that I can't..lets say..borrow them for a moment of two? Lol

Note: I'd like to say that I'm sorry it took so long to get this chapter out but I have been very busy and I'm trying to keep up! Lol anyways here's the next chapter.

Chapter 5

She heaved her shoulders up in a long suffering sigh before quietly opening the door and creeping around the living room towards the stairs to her sanctuary..which was blocked by Sesshomaru, to Kagome's dismay. She gulped when he looked at her through half lidded eyes, before she heard him say. "Where are you trying to get to Kagome?" His voice purring.

"Nowhere..Sesshomaru-sama..getting ready for tonight's events?" She tried to sound reassuring of herself at that but now she had to wonder: Did she want Sesshomaru to actually follow her up to her room to "talk"?..Though she doubted anything would happen between them. The kitchen thing shoved forward from the back of her mind and made her blush heavily, to the amusement of Sesshomaru. He stood up and extended his hand towards her, and when she hesitantly took it he lead them up to her room, opened the door and pushed her onto her bed.

"Now what are we going to do about the assassin among the State Alchemist?" She blinked once, twice, three times before she snapped out of her shocked state. 'That was not something that I had thought he was going to bring up.' She thought to herself.

When she saw that he was serious about it, Kagome straightened herself and sat up stiffly. She pulled out the pocket watch that had the insignia of the State Alchemist on it and gazed at it, the moonlight glinting off of it as she started talking. "To be honest, I'm not sure. But we will have to watch our backs. Hopefully Souta will continue his training to keep himself aware of his surroundings..though I doubt it. Maybe, you and I can go looking tonight and see if we can find any information on this person." She said more to herself than Sesshomaru, who was hovering over her slouched, thinking form.

'Should I ask her now? I want to protect her and she wouldn't let me if I don't explain something to her here and now. So, here goes everything.' He thought himself as he lowered himself to a kneeling position on the floor to get her to look at him. "Kagome, I want to protect you." She blinked at him like he's lost his mind and he fought to roll his eyes. "I want to ask you something." He said, glancing at the floor before berating himself and looking back into her curious face. He would not be a coward and ask while looking at everything else but her.

"Would you allow me to court you Kagome?" He asked before he held in a breath as he watched comprehension dawn on her face. He could here her heart beating wildly in her rapidly rising and falling chest. She looked like a fish out of water for a minute or two before she closed her eyes and sighed.

"Do you just want to court me to protect me..Sesshomaru?" She asked quietly, keeping her eyes closed and hoping that he would say no. A few breathless minutes went by before she felt his hand under her tipped down chin and lift it up to so her eyes could met his, but she kept them screwed shut. He coaxed her to open them and when she looked into his gold eyes, she gasped. Some much emotion it that one stare. So many she couldn't name them.

"No." Was his simple answer before she gave him a brilliant smile and launched herself into his chest, mumbling 'yes' over and over again. Sesshomaru let out a sigh of relief when his arms wound around her waist before he tipped her back and could claim her lips there was a person in the shadows of the room and they cleared their throats to get their attention.

Sesshomaru's reaction was almost instantaneous. He pulled Kagome closer to him and his hand went to grip the hilt of his sword that wasn't there. The person chuckled before saying. "Do not worry. I am not here to harm anyone. But let me introduce myself." The person, a woman as they looked closer, walked into the moonlight and smiled. "My name is Amaya Black, and I am both your guardian, sent from the Kami to help you on your way." She said, her voice dark, yet soothing.
