Chapter eleventh: Knowing together
They left the shrine in the morning to Musashi after they heard the news of a demon has jewel shard in the north of Musashi. The group stayed a night in small temple at the hill in the autumn. Red and yellow maple colored the hill and the lower villages like a painting picture. But the girl did not drink in the location because of her problem.
"Well, Inuyasha"
"What" He looked into her eyes for a few minute and sign. "Don't you say that you have a test?"
"Hn" She looked at him. "So, please"
"No"
"After you keep a shard." The western lord said and walked out of the room to go back to his castle.
"Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru." She wanted to kiss his cheek but she stops suddenly before she makes the mistake and he might kill her in a second.
The group left the kids and the brothers at the temple before separate into two groups and hide themselves among the maple three at the hill in the starry night and the first quarter moon is beginning rise in the east horizon.
A monk and a school girl are on the left and the new couple is on the right of the grove. There is a rumored demon appeared in a shrub near a couple but they kept an eye on it until the school girl sent them a signal to show them where the shard is. The boy and the monk hit its back while the girls wait to support them. They took an hour to hunt the strong demon and almost lost to it but thank for their luck when Mirouku made a decision to use his wind tunnel event if his palm was cut a little.
"Mirouku" The girls get worry about him.
"I'm alright and there are only four shards to complete the jewel." He said and went back to the temple.
Next morning the girl asked the brothers to bring her back to Kaede's village and make a side trip to send the monk at Mushin's temple and head to Inuyasha forest.
"Hn" The abbot checked his cut and tried to heal his palm.
"I knew it's dangerous to use it but I cannot help."
"The abbot Mushin"
"Oh! Lady Mizasuki"
"Aha! Pervert monk" The gorgeous demoness gave him a smirk.
"Peacock" The young man does not like her appearance especially her silver molten eyes, her sweet scent, and her melodic voice.
The old monk left the opponents at the garden and made his way to his safe place before they get fight and he might in danger.
"Hn" A demoness sniffed his scent. "Don't you mate her or another man took her."
He did not answer but got up and start to walk away.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." But he turned around to the girl who is his opponent and his friend. The young monk held her closed and pressed his face on her chest and cried in silent. Mizasuki cannot help but comforted him.
'How many times I saw him cried?' She still pats his head. 'Four or five times?'
…
The school girl had been determined to finish her final test on the last day before went back to her task in the feudal era.
Kagome and her friends went to a café to eat the ice cream before go to their way. The girl walked in a book shop to buy a new entry book of scientific. She caught a bus and rush to the shrine on the hill to pack her bag and have her dinner with the family.
"Good morning, dear"
"Morning, mom" She kissed her cheek. "Do I have some biscuit and a bar of chocolate?"
"Yes but don't gave it to the dog." She put a bar on a table and walked back to the cupboard to find a pack of biscuit.
"I know, mom and I don't want to kill them too."
"Them?"
"Inuyasha and his brother"
"Is he a dog as Inuyasha is?" Souta sat at the table and drank his warm milk and ate the toast with marmalade.
"Yes but he is a full blood demon."
"Is he a lord?"
"The great lord of the western lord"
"So cool" His eyes are shining "Dose he lives till nowadays?"
"I want to know as you want, Souta."
Kagome held her bag and walked toward the well house near the sacred tree in the morning late. She jumped into the dry well to pass the blue light to the feudal era. The girl climbed up but a clawed hand held her hand and took her up.
"Eh?" She blinked. "Lord Sesshoumaru"
He did not say anything but held her close before leapt through the sky to Shimotsuke. They took a break at a red and yellow maple hill at Kai in the noon.
The girl took off her shoes to walk on her bare feet to the cold creek but her eyes are on something at the branches.
'Thank for my luck that I wear a pants.' She climbed up a tree.
"Miko"
"I saw the persimmons."
The western lord look at the orange persimmons and dash to the tree to caught the girl before she hit the ground.
"Do you want to die before you purify him?"
"I'm sorry" She lowered her head to hide her sorrow eyes and calm herself.
The lord sniffed her changed scent but he did not put her on the ground. He held her up then jump on a strong branch and sat her form on his lap before picked off a persimmon and sent it to her.
"Thank you" She tried to calm herself after the lord shocked her by sat her form on his lap.
The western lord glanced at her bush cheeks and sniffed her changing scent.
'Her mood is changing again and why she shy.' He picked off a persimmon and cleaned it with his sleeve.
'Does this Sesshoumaru have done something wrong?' He did not know yet.
'She is interesting.'
'Hn'
'What had you done to her?'
'This Sesshoumaru doesn't know.'
'We should ask her.'
'She won't tell us.'
"Why do you are ashamed?"
"No, I don't."
'This Sesshoumaru had told you that she won't answer us.'
'Hn'
The western lord and his beast interested in the girl from the future more than the past after his ward and the beast told him about the future of Nippon and her family who live in a shrine in Inuyasha forest in the next five hundred years.
'You'll know on one day, Sesshoumaru?' The beast did not tell him a thing that he sensed his present is near her house on those days.
"Lord Sesshoumaru"
"Hn"
"I bought a book before I come here." She waited for his signal but he did not react.
"I'm sorry. I know that I'm talkative and my skill bothered you." She starts to eats a persimmon in silent.
"What is about the book?" He sent her a new one.
"It is a textbook." Her heart is puffing when he interested in her book.
They left the red maple valley and continue their trip again. She hid her face in his fluffy pelt from the wind and sniffed his scent while hugs his neck.
'He is scented not like Inuyasha.'
The western lord put the girl down and walked together to a hut at the hill near a village in the dusk. The girl stumbled over a rock but a strong arm caught her from in time and she heard a soft sigh from the demon lord.
'I usually made him a new trouble.' She tried to away but the claws did not let her go.
'I won't let her go until I know her more than this.'
They reach the hut and saw her friends and his pack are waiting for them to start the dinner.
"I come back."
