Chapter 3: Hey! Ho! Let's Go!
Kagome and Shippo (who was now conscious) left Kaede's hut and went to the Bone Eater's Well to meet Sesshomaru, with the mysterious -random- creature following their every move.
Kagome no longer felt sad at all, as you would assume, instead she felt a sense of freedom, where she knew she would no longer have to attach herself to someone who only used and abused her. This mentality showed clearly on her face. She was a smart girl… All she was wondering was why the hell it took so long. Shippo wouldn't be one to question it. 'I'm just happy that mama is happy. She used to be so sad before. Wait, why did I just call her mama?' He absent-mindedly scratched his elbow.
Once they reached the well, no one noticed the pink fluffy tree only about 10 inches away from Kagome's face. But hey. Just as Shippo was about to question it, they saw Sesshomaru, and things changed, "Woman, I demand to know why you look so strange, especially after your run in with the half breed."
"You callin' me fat?!"
"Hn."
Kagome began muttering angrily under her breath, "I knew I should have signed up for Weight Watchers. How could I have let my New Year's Resolution go so quickly? I thought that with all of my traveling…"
While Kagome kept talking to herself, with Shippo nodding sympathetically on her shoulder ("Don't worry, girl, I'm sure you'll work somethin' out, kk?"), Sesshomaru felt his patience slip, "Miko! You will answer me when I talk to you." When she still didn't answer he realized his error.
"Wench."
"…"
"Girl."
"…"
"Woman."
"…"
"Kagome?"
"Yes," she answered sweetly.
"You will answer me when I speak to you. Why do you not respond to 'miko'? It is your occupation."
"I respond only when people call me by my name. I'm not defined by my 'occupation.' How would you like it if I called you 'demon'?" she hissed back in his face. "If you decide not to call me by my given name, I have several other names to call you."
"You wouldn't woman."
"Oh, but Sessho-kun, I would."
For some reason, Sesshomaru thought as he resisted the urge to scratch his leg, that this was downright sex-ay. 'How come she is not afraid of me? It is odd within most humans, and from others I would demand fear and respect for me, but with her it just feels right this way.' He smirked he demanded, "Come with me, miko."
"But of course Fluffskers," and she scooped Shippo and her belongings into her arms and waltzed towards him. 'The girl never ceases to confuse me,' Sesshomaru thought.
"Woman, I will tell you this once. We will stop only one time, after the sun has set. We will then rise at dawn to continue our journey. My residence is two days away from here."
"Yes, your holiness!" And Kagome mock bowed towards him. You could almost see Sesshomaru puff up. 'Finally, the woman respects me.'
Kagome was thinking though, 'Why didn't he just say his house or his home… Geez, who put a stick up his ass?'
"A stick up my ass you say?"
"Did I say that out loud?"
"Yes Kagmama," Shippo answered, since it seems Sesshomaru wouldn't be answering for a while. It might have had to do with what he was pondering.
'A stick up my ass? What does that mean? Surely by the wicked look on her face it must have been something derogatory. I should kill her for her insolence but I can't. She'll get what comes to her when this is over.'
'I hope he doesn't kill me for that comment.' Kagome prayed.
-snore- "Chocolate… Demon pixies… Gah! Tree!" Shippo was suddenly fast asleep and earning himself some weird looks from Kagome.
"Kids these days…"
o0OOO0o
After sun set, they set up camp. Kagome boiled water for ramen and offered Sesshomaru some but he declined… Not so politely…
-Flash Back-
Kagome: Hey, Fluffy Overlord of the Universe, would you like some ramen.
Sesshomaru: Foolish girl, I will not eat your food.
Kagome: Hey! What's wrong with my food?
Sesshomaru: -scoffs- You made it. It will probably kill us all.
Kagome: No one can screw up instant ramen. –gasp- Hey! You insulted my cooking!
Sesshomaru: -- Yes I did… That only took you about five minutes
Kagome & Shippo: O.O
-End Flash Back-
The results? A pouting miko from the future, a passed out Shippo, and a smug Tai Youkai… Oy.
About an hour later after they had retired, (actually, only Kagome and Shippo were going to sleep. Sesshomaru was 'above them and their petty needs') someone came out from the shadows, waking Kagome without Sesshomaru's knowledge. The firelight reflected in her golden eyes.
"Katiya, what are you doing here now, I told you to wait until I summoned you."
"Oh you know me, Sesshomaru, I just couldn't stay away. –wink wink- You know what you do to me." Kagome almost passed out at that remark.
"Cease your foolishness. Tell me what you saw. I do not completely believe the miko."
Kagome was indignant, 'Why wouldn't he believe me, I mean, what do I have to lose by telling him the truth?'
Katiya was confused, "Why wouldn't you believe her? She wouldn't lose anything by telling you the truth."
Kagome was floored, 'That's the same thing I just thought!'
Katiya smirked, 'The girl doesn't know I can read her thoughts! She did make a good point however.'
"I have no reason to trust her," Sesshomaru replied, showing no emotion.
"Oh come on Fluffy-sama, you and I both know that you have emotions," Katiya replied.
Kagome's first thoughts were, 'I think I'm gonna like this girl.'
Katiya then smiled wickedly, "Besides I think you like her." Kagome passed out with a large woosh noise. Of course, Sesshomaru was immediately concerned. He unconsciously scratched his elbow, saying, "What did you do to her, cat?"
"Oh, ease up and get a life. She was just surprised at the thought that you had feelings."
"It would be best if you told me now what you saw and heard."
Katiya sighed and gave in, "Fine." She spent the next two hours relaying every event that had occurred as she had watched Inuyasha and the group in the forest, including how she had followed them both and masked her scent so Sesshomaru wouldn't pick up on it.
With that, Katiya left and went on her journey towards Sesshomaru's palace to prepare for Kagome' arrival. "Kagome, you and I are going to be close friends… Together, we can torture Fluffy-sama. Bwahaha bwahaha."
As you can guess, she scared off several birds and other woodland creatures with her horrendous evil chuckles.
