Sesshomaru had begun walking up the steps followed be Yuki when Kagura walked out her room. She was dressed in a black kimono that stopped mid way down her thigh and a pair of platform shoes. Her hair was done up in a bun and her face was covered in make-up. "Sesshomaru, come on, lets go in my room for a while." She walked forward, swinging her hips seductively. Yuki resisted the urge to gag and settled for glaring at her.
"Kagura, go put on some clothes and stop parading around like a common whore." Sesshomaru answered walking past her and continuing up to his room. Yuki laughed, sticking her tongue out at the scowling demoness before following him down the hallway.
"Sesshomaru, come on. Why are you racing off? Are you going to see that hanyou you brought here?" Kagura asked sending him a heated glare. "Did you bed that half breed? What is she..."
"That is none of your business wench." He turned the corner and left her standing in the hall.
As they approached the room, the sent of distress, miasma, and blood reached his noise. He flung the door open in time to see Kagome pass out. A few growing bruises and cuts adorned her skin and her blood was pooled on the floor.
"Oh my God!" Yuki ran to her and kneeled next to her body. She tested the girls pulse and frowned. "Sesshomaru, her pulse is really weak. I don't think…" She was cut of by a small growl.
Kagome was coming to slowly, try desperately to ignore the pain in her lungs. A warm hand touched her neck and she growled. It was meant to be menacing, but came out a soft almost distressed whine.
"Who ever you are, take three steps back." She slowly opened her eyes a saw a girl in a green school uniform back away from her. She quickly set up, wincing slightly, and looked at the girl. "Who are you? You're the only normal looking person here. Between that weird-o," She pointed at Sesshomaru, "And that sick-o that attacked me, I'm seriously freaked."
Yuki laughed, taking note of the girl's appearance and language. "Well, I'll explain it later. Let me look at your wounds." She stepped forward and held out her hand.
"No, it's ok. They'll heal on there own. See, they've already started." She pointed to the cuts on her neck, which had already stopped bleeding and scabbed over. She studied the girl for a second more before turning her head to Sesshomaru. "So mister high and fucking mighty, where were you? I wasn't able to defend myself; you wanna be pinching people's nerves and shit. He freaking caught me off guard. You should be ashamed of yourself, you left me defenseless."
Sesshomaru resisted the urge to growl at her and set her with an icy stare.
"You will address me with more respect half-breed. What did the demon that attacked you look like?" He sniffed the air trying in vain to pull some sent of the demon through the miasma laced air.
"Well Mr. High and Mighty, He looked like a child, light purple hair and a freaky disposition." She stood up and dusted herself off looking at her blood soaked clothing. "Damn, I just bought this yesterday." She growled angrily and turned to Yuki. "Do you have anything I can put on? This fruit would probably make me dress like we're in the feudal era or something." She laughed and raked her claws through her hair. Yuki looked at her quizzically before answering.
"We are in the feudal era. Why do you think he's acting like he has such a stick up his ass?" She asked pointing to a now growling Sesshomaru. Kagome stared wide eyed at her for a minute before turning to contemplate her statement.
'Well, that would explain a lot. How the hell did I get here though? And why the fuck are people attacking me? Well I'll stick with this chick because at least we are from the same time period. Maybe she can help me get home.'
Sesshomaru stares at the girl's turned back feeling for her emotions. She seemed perplexed and puzzled, but not in the least bit frightened of the latest development. Maybe she wasn't one of those hanyou ruled by her human emotions. Kagome turned and studied him for a second before uncrossing her arms and smiling.
"Well since I'm not exactly sure whats going on, I'll stay with you and figure out what I'm doing here." She turned and looked at Yuki. "Maybe we can get to know each other better and you can help me out since you and I are from the same time." Turning back to Sesshomaru she looked at his face, her thoughts drifting back to her dreams of him. "I need to figure out why I've been dreaming about you." Yuki nodded her head and smiled. She grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her towards the door.
"Come on, let me get you some clothes. Then I'll introduce you to Sango and Inuyasha." She lead her down the hall, leaving Sesshomaru in his room. Looking down on the floor he stared into disgust at the blood on the floor. It smelled heavenly, but mixed with the scent of miasma it was sickening and dead. He called for a servant and instructed them to clean up the blood before leaving heading to his study to send his grandfather a message. If anyone would know this girls true origin, he would.
"HENTAI!!!" SMACK Kagome's first impression of Miroku was as true as they come. Lecherous pervert.. Her brain screamed it at her the second she saw him and how he eyed her shorts. His almost immediate conformation left him with a huge bruise on the side of his face compliments of her and Sango who she liked instantly. "Miroku you lecherous ass, can you go five seconds with out touching someones ass?"Sango yelled at him and punched him in his arm. Yuki glared heatedly at him and Kagome cracked her knuckles, ready to punch him again.
"Sango you know I have eyes only for you, but this a cursed hand..." Sango glared at him and punched him again turning away from him. Kagome smelled the anger pour off Sango the second her proclaim that he was only hers. She decided she didn't like this guy. he seemed like a royal jerk who needed to take a lesson from her friend Elly, who could make any guy regret his actions.
"Miroku, I suggest you leave Sango alone, she doesn't seem happy with your presence." A tall demon stepped through the arched doorway of the library. His long black hair flowed and gleamed in the sunlight as he strode proudly over to them. His green eyes glared daggers at Miroku before turning his attention to a now blushing Sango. "Sango, I have to come to request your presence at dinner for a private banquet." Sango blushed deeper and nodded.
"Of course I'll join you Asukashi."
He smiled nodded.
"I will come get you later then. You don't have to dress up, but I have something I want to ask you." She nodded and he turned to leave, but not before sending a scathing glare at the monk, who stood looking slightly upset behind the three girls.
"Oh Kami, Sango, you have to start getting ready. Come on Kagome, Let's help her." Yuki grabbed both girls hands and dragged them down the hall toward the hot spring.
"Sango, he's gonna ask you to be his mate." Kagome stated the second they were away from Miroku. Sango gasped and starred at her. "How do you know?"
Kagome smiled and tapped her nose.
"This baby never lies. The second he said he had something important to ask you his scent was slightly tense and nervous but at the same time excited and happy." Yuki nodded.
"Yep, his aura was flashing like a strobe light. I told you earlier he loves you. Are you going to say yes?" both girls stared intently. Sango thought about it for a second and nodded.
"Yes, I will if he ask. I really love him and after my falling out with Miroku, there's no reason for me to say no. Nothings holding me back." She grinned as both girls clapped and giggled. "Come on you to, lets get to the spring already to take a bath. I have a... what do you call it Yuki... date to get ready for." They giggled and Kagome followed them down the hallway. Dropping back a little bit she let the girls enter before her and stood outside the door with her back turned to it.
"Are you happy that she's going to say yes?" She spoke to seemingly nothing. Asukashi stepped out of the shadows and looked at her.
So this hanyou had good sense. That was for sure. No one else but Sesshomaru had deciphered his plans to mate the taijiya or could track him with such ease.
"How do you know that's what I was going to ask her?"He studied her expression. She gave him a bored look and rolled her eyes.
"Given the fact you were there when I explained I'm not going to say it again, but I'll take the fact that your still here as a yes. I've only known Sango for like 15 minutes, but I can tell you, you've made a good choice. Maybe others will follow your lead." She turned and walked through the door, leaving him to contemplate her words.
"She's good. For a halfbreed she's really sharp." He stated turning to Sesshomaru who stood around the corner listening to there conversation. He stepped around it and nodded.
"There is more to that half-breed than meets the eye. I just recieved confermation of her orgins from my grandfather. She is indeed the heir of the southern lands." Asukashi looked at him and laughed.
"So that means that..." Sesshomaru gave him a scathing glare to cut him off.
"Dont speak of it until I make my decision. She is not to know nor will anyone but you." He nodded and smirked walking off down the hallway.
"Whatever you say Sessho. I have a banquet to prepare for."
