Chapter 5: Forgetful

Kagome stopped singing as soon as she heard footsteps behind her. Slowly she turned to see who would dare to intrude her bath. As soon as she seen Sesshomaru she gasped and ducked under water.

"Sesshomaru! I'm in here! Get out!" She screamed. Kagome was confused at her feelings towards Sesshomaru. She knew that she shouldn't have a problem with him seeing her, but there was something in the back of her mind that told her that he shouldn't be there while she was not fully clothed.

A look of pure horror came across her face when she seen that he had not only started to walk towards her, but that he was also taking him clothing off. The fear of him seeing her was soon increased when she noticed that he seemed to be in a trans like state.

Kagome watched Sesshomaru walk to her while his hands went up to his shirt and slowly slid it down his well-toned arms and chest. Her breath no longer came out in smooth puffs but now they were coming in short irregular pants as she watched in fascination of his hypnotic arms going smoothly down towards the obi that kept his pants resting on him hips. Very soon those slip off also reviling muscular, well-defined legs and a very aroused member of his anatomy.

Kagome's heart seemed to stop beating. There he stood in all his magnificent glory. And there was not even an ounce of fat on him. It was all muscle. Nothing else covered or blocked anything from her view.

Slowly Kagome seen his hips sway towards her and the warm water, when it suddenly hit her with full force. He was going to bathe with her!

Kagome cleared her throat. "Umm Sesshomaru? I'm in here so do you need this? I mean I can leave."

Still it seemed that Sesshomaru couldn't hear her for he kept walking towards her. Kagome was finally starting to get nervous when he wouldn't respond to her. So doing something she knew that he wouldn't like or at least hoped he wouldn't like. Kagome picked up the washcloth from the side of the water and hurled it at his chest. Being a miko her arm was pretty good only missing by a few inches.

Sesshomaru stopped when he felt something warm and wet hit his face. ' What the hell was that?' he thought as he looked around. His brain didn't register where he was right away. But when he finally put two and two together he realized that he was in the hot spring room.

"Sess…Sesshomaru?" a tiny voice asked. Sesshomaru looked around not sure if he had just imagined it, but instead he found Kagome in the water up to her neck.

"Yes?"

"Do you need to bathe?"

He raised an eyebrow. 'Was she trying to tell this Sesshomaru that I smell?' he thought

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Well…its just that you…"

"I have not got all day to wait around and listen to you stutter. If you are having trouble speaking then maybe I should find you someone to help you with that. If not then say what ever it is before I loose my patience."

"Never mind. I'm sorry"

'Why does she apologize? She has not done anything wrong.'

'Maybe its because you told her that she cant talk at all and she needs help. Maybe she feels bad because you are suddenly becoming so cold hearted towards her. Maybe you nee-'

'Maybe you need to learn when to shut up.'

'Have you not learned that no matter how hard you try I will never give you that satisfaction of leaving you in peace when I know that there is still the slightest possibility of making you look like a fool'

'Tell me. How do you intend to make me look like a fool? I am not talking to you out loud.'

Sesshomaru heard a snicker and let out a growl. He did not like the fact that his beast was laughing at him.

'I'll tell you how. I keep talking to you, which makes you forget all about that little tramp that has you mesmerized. And while you may not have noticed this but your little plaything… escaped. That's how I make you look like a fool.'

True to what his beast said when Sesshomaru looked around Kagome was indeed no longer in the bathing room. Growling again he began to sniff the air to see if there was any trace of her. But much to his frustration, the moist air from the water was making it difficult to be able to trace her sent into any of the doors that lead away from the room.

Deciding on leaving it be for a while he began to walk out of the bath, no caring who seen him in all his glory. He was after all the Lord of this house and could do with what ever he wanted. And that included walking around his home naked.

"Excuse me?" Kagome asked a servant girl she seen walking in the hall.

"Yes? I don't have time for you" she replied as she continued walking.

"What? You don't have time for me? But you work for me right?"

"Ok. I don't know what it is you are going on about but I am sure that I don't work for you I serve Lord Sesshomaru himself. Not some human girl."

"But I'm his mate. I am sur-"

The young servant cut her off. "Ok lord Sesshomaru does not have a mate. So unless you leave now I wont call the guards."

"But I am not lyin-"

"Guards!"

Sesshomaru, who was currently sitting in his study had no knowledge of the commotion that was going on down stairs, was having an argument with well himself. ( seriously who could argue with him and still be alive?).

I told you that it was a mistake to keep her here, now look what happened. You scared the girl to death, although I wouldn't mind seeing that I didn't like the little bitch anyway.

'you will refrain from calling her that!'

ohhh 'refrain' big word for small mind. I didn't know you could think that well. Considering the fact that you just scared off the girl that you have impure thoughts about.

Sesshomaru was deprived of his chance to respond to his beast when there was a knock at his door.

"enter"

Through the door walked a small servant girl. She was about an inch or so shorter then Kagome, and her face gave off the impression that she was still a child.

"What do you want?" Sesshomaru asked her giving her a cold glare, for she dares to disturb his thoughts.

"lord Sesshomaru. I have come to bring you the news that we have a new prisoner in the castle." She said in a muffled voice as her head was still buried in the carpet from her extremely low bow.

"and when was I going to be informed? When he was old and dead?" no waiting for a response Sesshomaru stood and marched passed the bowed girl.

"Forgive me Lord Sesshomaru but I must have misinformed you but the prisoner is not a male. It is a female. She clams to be your mate. And since we know that you do not have one we took the pleasure on setting her memory straight." She said proudly.

Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks. He felt the blood that was in his face drain. He knew what it meant to have your memory set straight. Hell he was the one who gave the lesson to. The prisoner would get beat within a certain limit to ensure that they would have enough life to be able to get questioned from him…. Some didn't even last long enough to make it through the questioning, but they never survived long after…

Never.

Well i hope that you guys liked that tast. hummmm will she live or die? well that for you to decide. Untill next time. Peace out. Akada
