A Mirror's Reflection

Lady Nefertiti

Last time: "Oh Sango my love! I was just uhm...brainstorming...uhm...thinking about the future..." he stammered.

"I'll show you your future!" Sango said and balled her hands into fists.


Chapter 3: Water bodies…in every shape and form part 1

-Inutachi-

"But…"

"But…" Inuyasha stammered again covering his face with his hands. How did he land into this situation again? Oh yeah Sango…the great defender and protector of Kagome….hey wait wasn't that HIS job? She stole his job! Well back to more important things….how to get this crazy woman off his case. He was in so much trouble….

-Flashback-

The Inu-tachi (or what was left of it) stared at Kagome and Sesshomaru's back as they walked off into the horizon like in a romantic movie. Err…right. Sango having this weird feeling that they might not see Kagome for a quite a while. The Inu-tachi looked at each other and then Inuyasha spared a glance at Sango whose eye twitched at him. She'd lost her sister! And it was his (Inuyasha's) "INU-YASHAAAAA!" Sango roared and backed Inuyasha into a tree looking murderous and he fell back against the tree.

-End Flashback-

"Don't sit there looking pissed now!" Sango yelled at him raising her fist. Amazing how pregnant women had so much stamina to yell let alone scare a hanyou witless or rather shit-less… who wasn't entirely comfortable that he was sitting at the base of a tree, afraid of a Sango who was standing/ looming over him, eyes flashing. And he couldn't hurt her either…cause she was expecting. Damn.

At least she wasn't getting physical…Miroku would kill him and Kagome would purify him without a second thought. Speaking of which he still couldn't believe that Kagome pranced off with Sesshomaru arm in arm! And that bastard let her too! What was going on? If Kagome had gone home to the future he would've still respected her wishes and stayed away! But noo she had to go off with his worst enemy without a single thought whether she'd be safe or not. Oh he understood it alright. Kagome wanted some but with his brother?!

"You should've and could've stopped her if you wanted! But nooo….you have to act all manly and shove your pride in the way and couldn't do that in front of your half-brother huh?" Sango said watching Inuyasha cowering and shaking sitting. Good he should know that you don't just go off and hurt her sister Kagome. God knew that she'd been hurt enough and from Inuyasha at that too.

"Sango my love isn't that enough?" Miroku said trying to calm her down.

"I'm not finished Miroku. And you're next. How dare you read those filthy lecherous magazines! I'll fix you!" Sango yelled. Miroku shuddered at the thought. Kikyo was the only one who looked indifferent (she's already dead people) and glared at her. That slayer should know better than to yell at two males and why were they listening to her anyways? They could just scoff and run off leaving Sango behind. Inuyasha was ignoring her and he didn't cower or shudder when Kikyo got mad at him.

"Slayer I think that is quite enough." Kikyo said in a firm voice. You need to cool down. It isn't good for the baby." Kikyo said in a firm voice.

"Oh yeah? And what would you know about it? Dead –girl? Don't look now but your dead boyfriend Frankie (Frankenstein) is looking for you." Sango said advancing on her.

"Don't hurt Kikyo!" Inuyasha said rising finally. Happy that she was off his case but unhappy that she really might hurt Kikyo. Sango wasn't known to be rational when she was angry. Sango stopped for a second and gave Kikyo a thoughtful look. Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at her in horror suddenly.

Her eyes alighted with some evil thought and said, "You're right but I think its you that needs to cool down Kikyo." And Sango pushed Kikyo into the spring behind them.

(SPLASH!)

"KIKYO!" Inuyasha said and rushed towards the spring frantically looking into the water to see if he could 'fish' her out. She could've been seriously hurt! What if Sango had killed her? What if Kikyo decided she didn't want to be in their group anymore?! And demanded that Sango or Kagome leave before she joined? He couldn't bear to lose Sango or Kagome.

Kikyo came spluttering up a couple seconds later and Inuyasha started to pull her out. Alas….Sango didn't like this and since Inuyasha wasn't looking and bent over she 'accidentally' pushed him in too….oops her bad….

(SPLASH!)

"The both of you smell bad…." Sango said justifying her reasons and shrugged turning away and then she saw someone and grinned. "Miroku you're next!" Sango said evilly.

"I….I think I hear my mother calling me…" and Miroku dashed towards the village. Maybe he'd find a large rock he could hide behind or maybe Kaede? Sango wouldn't hurt Kaede right? Well he wasn't going to wait around and ask her. Good god! There were so many…too many months before she gave birth! He'd survive somehow….

Yes….be afraid, be very afraid of Sango who was on the rampage.

-Sesshomaru and Kagome-

-Kagome's thoughts-

It was silent and Kagome wondered whether it should be her to break the silence. She herself didn't know why she asked and why of all reasons that Sesshomaru had agreed but here she was walking alongside him. She sure hoped he didn't have some ulterior motive. It still hurt and she couldn't help but feel a bit upset that Sesshomaru had to be there to listen to her pain and her love issues with Inuyasha. She was sure that he knew about the priestess Kikyo, the story behind the Shikon and Inuyasha's sealing to the tree. He wasn't stupid but he was gorgeous wasn't he and up close she wanted to….(cough) (cough) and she shook her hentai thoughts.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and realized that they had stopped. Sesshomaru had a hand on her shoulder but he was looking towards the horizon. "Reflecting on past memories that hurt your soul should be long forgotten little Miko." EH? When did Sesshomaru offer advice?

"Thank you." Kagome said and looked up at him. He wasn't looking at her but nodded his head. 'God I love his hair…I want to touch them….like I wanted to touch Inuyasha's ears.' On impulse she reached up to grab a hold of his locks…didn't care if he killed her, she'd die a happy Miko. Suddenly he shifted and his grip on her shoulder tightened. Kagome gave him a confused look.

"We're being followed." Sesshomaru said in his usual cold voice and then let go of her shoulder, much to Kagome's disappointment. But then he took her by the upper arm and led her with him. Weird guy….

"By who?" Kagome asked him.

"Best keep moving until we find somewhere to take rest." Sesshomaru said ignoring her. Ok-ay what he said and both walked alongside each other, comfortable in each others presence but hadn't realized it yet.

"Are we in the west now Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked him hesitating. She didn't want to bother him or his err…thoughts but she was dying to know. Alas he was courteous enough to answer her, he still holding onto her arm like she might vanish on him or break like a piece of glass.

"Soon we will be arriving on the western borders." He said suddenly looking over his shoulder, his silver hair 'dancing' as he moved. Kagome sighed with a desire to touch it, run her hands through it but was broken out of her stupor when he said, "We have a wolf on our trail. We shall take to the skies to lose him." Eh? Kouga? Could it be? Wait what did he mean when he said… take to the skies?

"I'm Afraid….a-fra-id of…" Kagome started stuttering but was cut off. Then Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome around the waist much to her surprise and then she continued. "Heii—iights!" she screeched and both flew away on his magic cloud. baka!

She grabbed onto Sesshomaru for dear life and inwardly chanted…. 'Don't look down , Don't look down….' And she shuddered but not because of the cold. Then Sesshomaru told her to calm down and that he wouldn't let her fall and wrapped that furry boa of his around her and she smiled slightly. Weird guy…..but she sure liked it.
