Secret Serenity

Chapter 2: Sesshomaru

"Kagome. Kagome! Damit Kagome! Are you even listening to me?!" yelled a frustrated Hanyou (Spell?). Kagome turned to look at him with an apologetic sparkle in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, what was it that you were trying to say to me?" she said sweetly. Inuyasha just glared at her. "I said did you sense any jewel shards around here?" Kagome focused for a second before shaking her head. "No, I don't." Inuyasha let out a stream of curses. "Fine, we'll rest here for the night and then tomorrow morning you guys have better be up or else I'm gonna kick your asses out of sleep!" Inuyasha then jumped into a nearby tree and settled down in it. Kagome turned to Sango, her sister-like friend, and asked her if she would like to bathe with her in the nearby hot springs.

"Sure Kagome." Sango said. Shippo, Kagome's adopted son, also tagged along with them as they headed out towards the spring. Miroku took his chance and said,

"Mind if I going you ladies?"

SMACK

"HENTAI!!!!!" both Kagome and Sango yelled. They then turned away and left the unconscious monk on the ground.

Kagome sighed with relief. 'This is sooooo like heaven…'

"Hey, Kagome?"

"Yes Sango?"

"So, what did you learn in your school yesterday?" Sango asked.

"Well…for one thing Math was…" Kagome started explaining about how stupid Math was, how Science she literally got some icky goop on her from the table next to her, how Lunch the food tasted like shit, how in English the teacher was clueless in explaining, and how History was a bore. She also told Sango about the prophecy and the picture that was in her textbook. Sango looked at her before answering her back. "A prophecy on Sesshomaru, a miko, and a dragon? And Sesshomaru has not only one but three kids?" Kagome nodded. Sango looked down at the water and rubbed her chin in deep thought. "Hmm…it seems that Sesshomaru would know about this and I doubt he would believe you at all, but…"

"But what?"

"…but it seems to me that there may be something troubling about this. Tell me what the prophecy said." Kagome nodded and said what she heard.

"One Miko, one Demon, one Dragon,

Travel together in search of evil,

For they are the chosen ones who can stop it in its quake,

One of purity,

One of Strength,

One of Elements…"

Sango waited to she if there was anymore to it, but when she heard nothing more coming from her, she ask, "That's it? Nothing else?" Kagome looked at her then nodded.

"Yep. That's all I heard him say."

Sango nodded before getting out of the springs. She dried off, got herself dressed before turning around towards Kagome. "Are you coming?"

"I'll be there in a little while. You go ahead without me. I'll catch up."

Sango nodded before leaving.

Kagome sighed and looked down at the water. 'Why is my life suddenly getting stranger and stranger at every second of the day?' She sighed once again before getting out herself. Kagome quickly dried off and got dress before heading back towards the camp. As she headed back, she suddenly heard a voice. The voice sounded much like a young women mixed with a low growling sound, as if the voice was a demon. It was saying something to her.

With these powers combined,

Evil shall fear,

For they are no match for them,

But as they travel on to defeat evil,

Only two shall learn,

To love one another,

A deep affection that can never break…

As the voice faded away she was brought out of her thoughts when a low cold voice stopped her.

"Miko."

Kagome jumped and whipped around, nearly falling.

"Se..Sesshomaru?! What the hell! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes before speaking.

"Do not shout at me in such a manner, girl. I have you know that you are on my lands in which I find very displeasing."

Kagome blinked before blushing in embarrassment. "Sorry…" she said sarcastically.

Sesshomaru nearly rolled his eyes. He watched as Kagome went back into her thoughts as if something was bothering her.

Kagome suddenly looked back up to the inu-youki. "Um…Sesshomaru? Do you ever…um, plan to get……a mate?"

Sesshomaru looked at the young miko before raising one of his eyebrows. Why she asked that question, he'll never know. He closed his eyes and turned around before answering. "No." Kagome fumed.

"Well, SORRY for asking! At least I'll have the decency to say YES!!! Un like you…you cold-hearted, prick-headed, son-of-a…" She never got to finish for she was slammed into a tree with great speed and a hand rapped around her neck, choking her. Kagome gasped for air.

"Do not show such disrespect to me, miko. I can kill you with no care in the world. Why you asked that question is even a wonder to me but I'll never mate anyone, especially a human such as you." Sesshomaru hissed.

"Se…Sesshomaru…please……can't breath…" Kagome gasped. Sesshomaru squeezed her neck. He leaned into her face before whispering in her ear. "Now why should I let you go?" Kagome tried to gulp. 'To close!!! TO CLOSE!!!!'

"Be…Because I know something that…you would like to…know…"

He narrowed his eyes at her before letting her drop to the ground. Kagome let out a yelp.

'Some respect he shows…'

"Miko, you will tell me what you know, now."

Kagome stared at him before letting out a heated sigh.

'Well…it can't get any worse than it is now…'

She sighed again before telling her story.

Well, here's the next chapter. I'm hoping to get my missing assignments in so I can keep going on both of the stories. I'm having a hard time with coming up with anything else with the other story so I'm writing on this story since I already got the idea about it. So…PLEASE REVIEW!!!
