Chapter Eight: Truce

R&R please

" What are you doing?" Sesshoumaru declared loudly to the two tear-stain demoness sitting upon the elegant four postered bed.

" Nothing, your hind ness," Kagome replied swiftly yet very, very softly.

" I didn't quite catch that, wench," Sesshoumaru said with no anger showing what so ever. Of course he heard, being called a hind isn't pleasant.

Kagome laughter stopped suddenly. ' Oh Crap. There was no way that Sesshoumaru would call her that if he didn't hear what she just said. Oh, deep trouble is coming on now. I do have a great way of making enemies. He's gonna kill me now.' Kagome looked over to Naomi. It seems that she didn't realize what Sesshoumaru cold voice meant. After all, this was their first meeting. Naomi was still trying hard to stifle her giggles. She was trying so hard, that her light blue face was turning into an unnatural crimson red.

' Oh great, on my own now.' Kagome stole a quick look at Sesshoumaru's face. It was impassive, as usual.

Naomi, by now, has finally finished laughing, turned to look at Sesshoumaru, fixing her messy hair in the process.

" You might be?" Sesshoumaru asked Naomi in a bored voice.

" Naomi, my lord," Naomi answered in a shaky voice, apparently, she wasn't exactly over her laughing fit.

" I see," Sesshoumaru dismissed. It seems like this one actually has some manners.

' What were they laughing at? I'll bet the one with the midnight blue hair will tell me. The one that is a little spit-fire. I don't even know her name yet."

" Who's room is this?" Sesshoumaru continued to ask.

" Doesn't it matter," Kagome spat out rather rudely.

" I think you are interrupting our conversation. When I need to get some answers from you, I will personally ask you." Sesshoumaru pointed out.

Kagome sputtered, but nothing came out.

" No come backs, wench?" Sesshoumaru gloated.

" My name is Kagome, you understand that? When you call me anything else, I won't answer until you get my name right. Lord Fluffy." Kagome responded immediately. " Even if I have any come backs, it would a shame to be wasted on you. If you have to know, this room is Naomi's. Good day"

Kagome walked out of the door, not before giving Naomi a little wave and a little bit of tongue at Sesshoumaru. Then she disappeared into the hallway.

Sesshoumaru was fuming with rage by now. He managed to say, " Nice meeting you Naomi, I hope we get to talk later." Sesshoumaru stormed out of the room with long and quick strides following 'Kagome's' scent. It stopped at room number three.

' Great, right next to mine. Wonderful, just when I try to avoid meeting her, she gets the room next to me. So fair.' Sesshoumaru silently cursed his fate.

Sesshoumaru knocked loudly. This was beyond his standards, he would usually kick the door down or something like that. If he didn't have to act like a gentleman, he would break down and whine about Kagome before kicking her out.

Kagome opened the door. When she saw Sesshoumaru's raging face, she moved quickly to slam the door. She didn't get very far. It seems like Sesshoumaru was born with very fast instincts. Sesshoumaru stuck out his foot so the door would not close.

Kagome sighed. ' It's no use, I can't close the door.'

" What do you want?" Kagome groaned.

" I want you to open the door and let me in," Sesshoumaru translated.

" Dream on, my lord." Kagome objected sarcastically but let him in never the less.

" What do you want?" Kagome questioned boredly.

Sesshoumaru settled himself in a cozy chair and said nothing for a few moments.

" I don't want to do this contest as much as you do." Sesshoumaru admitted wearily.

" How do you know that?" Kagome gasped. She hasn't told anyone but Naomi that fact."

" You think you are the only one that can read minds huh?" Sesshoumaru inquired.

" You mean you can do it too?" Kagome was now fascinated. " When did you get it?"

" Hold on, we are getting off of track. I'm here to tell you to use a little bit more of manner," Sesshoumaru suddenly snapped.

" Sure, Lord Fluffy….." Kagome teased.

" I mean it," With that, Kagome was pinned to the nearest wall, before she knew. God, she has done it this time.

" I'm trying to be a little bit nice to you. Since you are here for a month, I want to spend it without you insulting me every second. I'm trying to make a truce. Ok? God dammit!" Sesshoumaru snarled before letting go of Kagome's sore wrists."

" You don't have to attack someone's wrists when you are mad. Shesh. What is happening to the world these day?" Kagome cringed.

" You giving up, knowing you can't beat me in insulting, right?" Kagome decided to push it a bit more. But when she saw his murderous face, she quickly added, " Just kidding."

" I'll call you by your name and show manners to you, if you promise to call me Kagome, not wench, bitch or anything like that. But don't expect me to be nice to you or faint at your feet like your other fans."

" Agreed, Kagome. Now get ready for dinner. InuTashio's orders. You don't have to unpack, wear the first kimono in your closet and matching shoes." Sesshoumaru said in a shivering tone, which was usually pretty normal to him.

" Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru," Kagome bowed down before Sesshoumaru as he headed out of the room.

' Ah, this is more like it.' They both thought as the door closed both in front and behind them.

' I'll never forgive my dad for this. Making a truce with Lord Sesshoumaru, my dad has got to pay.'

' Never thought I would stoop this low and call truce. Dad, you are going down.'
