Red As Blood

Chapter 4

Fighting love

Kagomes eyes lit up at the sight of the demon lord, He nodded.

"Get away from kagome!" inuyasha yelled from behind her, but then in a flash he broke there eye contact when he appeared in front of kagome with one arm blocking away from them. Kagome growled and shoved Inuyasha's arm away. He turned to look at kagome but she wasn't there. He looked back in front of him and there she was a foot away from sesshoumaru.

"What the..." inuyasha then stepped back. Kagome gave him a side ways glance and looked back at sesshoumaru.

"Get away from her, I'll kill you!" inuyasha was about to get up but kikyou grabbed his arm.

"You said you didn't care for her! You lied!"

"No, I just...hate my brother."

"Hey Inuyasha...SIT!" he went crashing into the ground with kikyou falling right on top of him. Kagome smirk as she once again locked gazes with the demon lord.

"You wanna finish our fight?" she asked seductively, making him loose control. Now he knew after this fight he would never stop thinking of that voice.

'Dammit what is this feeling, I haven't had it sense I was a pup.' butterflies flew violently in kagomes stomach as she unsheathed her sword.

"Shippo go over to sango and tell he to stay out of this, I know she will want to help." shippo gave once last glance at sesshoumaru, with a nod be bounded off towards sango. Sesshoumarus eyes played with amusement while unsheathed his sword. Silently they stood there, sword in hand, and watching every move one another made. Kagome charged at him, he swung his sword at him, she disappeared and reappeared behind him. It went on and on, one trying to hit the other, failing at that. Kagome then whipped out an attack from her sword, purple light came bashing to the ground were sesshoumaru once was. As fast as he could he nailed her to the ground, bother her wrists in his once hand.

"Lets make then more interesting?" kagome bargained.

"And how?"

" if I win this fight, we become friends, which means you trust me, and everything."

"And if I win?"

"Well then you decide what you want from me." he then smirked at that which made kagome blush.

"Hentai." she then switched them around so she was on top and had a claw to his throat.

"This sesshoumaru is not a hentai!" he then pushed her a little to give him room to slip from under her. he then turned with his sword in hand but was nocked out of his hand by surprise when kagome nocked it away.

"I'll make It fair." she then dropped her sword and ran at him with all her speed. After a few swipes and scratches kagome panted while the heat of the sun shone brightly on her, trying its hardest to bake her alive. sesshoumaru took a chance when she closed her eyes from exhaustion and nailed her to the ground once again and had his nail to her throat.

"I win." he then smirk after he got off of her and helped her to her feet. She pouted and looked at him.

"Too bad because I really wanted to be your friend."

"Well I don't want to be yours." this broke kagomes pout as hurt went through her eyes.

'He could at least nod, not give a rude comment.' sesshoumaru saw her broken eyes.

'No, dammit. I want to be more than friends, but I wont say it. I will never lower my self to want her this bad!' he saw her start walking back to her friends but stopped and turned to him.

"So what is your wish?" she asked sadly while putting a mask over her to hide the hurt.

"I will let you know when the time comes, miko." she then glared at him.

"Goodbye lord sesshoumaru!" she then stormed off to her friends picking up her abandoned sword on the way. When she got near her little group. Inuyasha was glaring at her as was kikyou, as always. Shippo jumped into her arms happily. Miroku just smirked, sango hit him.

"Lets set up camp, its getting late." kagome then yawned and crumbled to the ground for rest. She sat there for a minute as inuyasha got up with kikyou walking in the forest for fire wood. Kagome got back up.

"Lets go take a bath, I need one, I feel dirty." she then yawned, grabbed her yellow back pack and Sango's hand.

"What was up with you and sesshoumaru?" sango asked while rinsing the shampoo out of her hair that kagome Kagome gave her. Kagome frowned.

"Nothing, I just wanted to fight him." she then rinsed the shampoo going for the conditioner.

"Well why did he say something in your ear before?" kagome pored a little of conditioner in her hand and Sango's.

" he was just tricking me to believe something stupid, then turn around and throw in my face when he wins." kagome then lathered the conditioner in her hair. Sango fallowed what he was doing.

"Yes right, I saw all that emotion in his eyes when he said that to you, and how gentle he Is with you." kagome shook her head violently making conditioner fly every were.

"No, he doesnt care what so ever about me sango!" she then dunked her head under the water. Sango fallowed her and glared at her under water making kagome come back to the surface.

"He doesnt, I know it!" she then closed her eyes, tears ready to spill.

'Your so stupid to believe he would like you or even be your friend! Stupid stupid stupid!' she yelled in her mind trying not to cry. Its been years sense she truly cried, and when she did it made her weak and pathetic that is at least what she thought. Sango saw the mood change in her best friend and put a hand on her shoulder for a little comfort. Kagome turned from angry to sad in about a minute, it wasn't like her, she used to be happy, and hyper. Sango then hugged kagome.

"Its ok, there are many guys out there that are better, sometimes one might be right in front of your eyes." sango tried cheering her up but it didn't work. Slowly kagome put on a happy face and pushed away the pain and sadness. Sango saw her try and hide, but didn't say anything.

"Your right, I can find some one beyond sweeter than any dog brothers." sango giggled while kagome smirked with pride of what she said. Then anger flashed though her mind when an image went through her mind. Sango then looked at a rock then back at kagome.

"Stupid rock, why do you have to be so stupid!" sango yelled while hitting the rock she looked at before. This made kagome break out into laughter. Sango has changed, she's been around kagome too long and took in her randomness. Sango laughed along with her soon after the rock fell in the water.

Kagome and sango decided not to head right back to camp but instead to a field close to the camp. There they laid in the grass gazing at the stars. Kagome smiled motherly as she thought of shippo.

"I cant wait until I have kids of my own, I think I would make a wonderful mother, full of stories they never heard of before, and foreign candies and food." kagomes smile increased as she saw a shooting star.

"Wow, your still young and a demon at that, you shouldn't be talking about babies yet, not until after you get pregnant." sango then laughed as kagome crossed her arms.

"Im talking about the future, any ways are you making plans of having kids with miroku." now it was kagomes turn to laugh as she turned her head to see a very red sango.

"W..who said we were going to be together. Monks aren't my kind of guy anyways!" she then crossed her arms and showed attitude. Kagome laughed and put a hand on her stomach, slowing her laughter.

"I wish you could live longer." kagome then looked at sango sadly.

"Maybe, but I dout it, im a human, they cant live long." sadness washed through her eyes also.

"Well do you want to die? You should live forever with miroku, you guys are in love and you know it." sang then blushed and pushed kagome.

"Do you really think he loves me?" eagerness getting the better of her.

"Yea, I can see the way he looks at you when your asleep, or talking to him, you guys are meant to be together." sango then smiled.

"If I could be with miroku forever, then I want to live longer." she then smiled forgetting the burning of her cheeks. Kagome smiled as an idea popped in her mind.

"Well I have three missions at hand. One finish the jewel, two bring you and miroku together, three find a way to make you live longer." sango looked at her dumbly.

"No!"

"Why!"

"Because you cant bring miroku and me together, what if he doesnt like me?"

"He does don't worry, just leave it to me. Sooner than you know it your life will be perfect!" Sango's smile turned to the ground as tears were spilling from her eyes. Kagome quickly pulled sango to her.

"Sango what's wrong?"

"Kohaku?"

"Oh yea, I have a perfect plan for that, he's going to be alive with you in no time!" sango hugged kagome back. Pride and confidence went through kagome as she held sango. After a while kagome pulled back.

"I sense a jewel, its coming this way." she then stood up, sango fallowed her. Kagome unsheathed her sword and looked around the small field. Out of the shadow emerged a figure, black hair...

"sakuta!" kagome yelled.

"Who? How do you know him?" sango asked.

"I'll explain later." before kagomes eye flashed white then she came face to face with sakuta.

"What are you doing here and with the jewel!" kagome yelled at him. He smirked while looking her down.

"Is that all I get from saving you from my brother in the hot springs? I should at least get a thanks."

"You don't deserve it."

"Well I did get a small reward." he then smirked showing his sharp fangs while looking kagome up and down. A shiver went down kagomes spine as she fell into the depths of silver.

"And what's that!"

"You are quite beautiful when completely naked and water glistening on you skin?" kagome frowned.

"You freakin hentai." she then smack him, making his smile bigger. He lunged at her but stopped.

"Don't get near kagome or I'll cut your head off!" sango yelled while getting in front of kagome and aiming her large boomerang at his throat.

"I mere human cant defeat me."

"But im a demon slayer." she then smirked while dropping the boomerang and punching his cheek, sending him whirling back. Sango turned to kagome,

"lets go back to camp!" kagome shook her head no.

"why?"

"I need to talk to him."

"You cant h-" kagome looked up to see silver eyes, panic crossed her mind as she looked down were sango laid unconscious.

"What did you do to her! If you killed her I swear to Kami I will kill you!" kagome yelled while bending down beside her friend.

"I just put her in a deep sleep, she should be awake tomorrow after noon." he then smirked and crossed him arms. Kagome got back up.

"What do you want with me and why do you have the jewel?"

"I have the jewel because my brother found it, I used it to lead you to me." Kagome looked at his hand were the jewel laid.

"You still have one more question to answer, and give me the jewel!" she hissed. He looked at her sadly and handed her the jewel. Her eyes widened with shock, she thought she would have to fight for it.

"Well, you are very interesting, beautiful, and I never met any one like you. I don't want you and me to be enemies but we have to." he then looked up into the starry sky and back to her.

"My brothers agree with me that you are beautiful but you are also a miko, they hate mikos and want your blood. I don't want to hurt you, or make you hate me, all I have done is rescue you and be nice to you." he then smiled weakly.

"I...im sorry." she then bowed her head in shame.

"Don't be, just remember we are always going to be enemies but in my heart you mean more." kagomes eyes then snapped up..but he wasn't there. Slowly she lowered herself to the ground. Thoughts and questions going through her mind. After a while she got up, picked up sango and her bag and left back to camp. When she got back, miroku was sleeping against the only tree in the field, inuyasha was sitting strait up watching kagome put sango on the ground next to Kirara and out a blanket on top of her. Kikyou was asleep with her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. Slowly kagome went over to shippo and pet his small fuzzy head and started to leave.

"Were are you going?" inuyasha asked quietly. Kagome looked over her shoulder and smiled sadly, her broken eyes gleaming with unshed tears. Inuyasha's ears flattened while looking at the girl he killed inside. Kagome then left the camp with all the speed she had. Enter the forest she searched for a stream. She found a little stream, beautiful with the moon shining upon it and sat down close to the edge. After she got comfortable leaning against a rock she let her mind wonder.

'Why does every one like me, hojo, Akitoki, kouga, sakuta, I don't even know what sesshoumaru think of me, inuyasha betrayed me. Hojo is the sweet boy, likes to give me stuff, but I have grown up, he's just like a little kid. Akitoki is just a little older than hojo even though he's hojos ancestor, he's clumsy, and always nervous, he just too sweet. Kouga is possessive, only sais he loves me, and to much mike an older brother. Sakuta is sweet, charming, perfect, but we are enemies. Sesshoumaru, he's mean, cold, gruff, almost the exact opposite from me, but...why do I love him?' she then widened her eyes.

'No I don't love him he's...he's an asshole and doesnt deserve my love!' she then crossed her arms trying to hold back more tears. Lately she's been wanting to cry, but she knows she wouldnt, not ever. While morning her won true feeling she wasn't aware of the 2 golden eyes watching her closely.
