Chapter 5: Happiness...
She sighed heavily as she walked towards the clearing. Great. He had been sat again. It was routine for Kagome to sit Inuyasha but maybe she wouldn't go home this time because she had Sesshomaru to make her feel better? She walked into the clearing and saw a fallen Inuyasha and Kikyo on her bottom, Miroku looking very smug and amused as hell, and Sesshomaru sitting next to Kagome as he examined her ankle, Kagome giggling when he touched a 'tickling spot' on her foot.
"Uhm...did I miss something?" Sango said.
Lady Nefertiti: enjoy reading.
-Clearing-
"Of course not Sango my dear. Nothing is wrong at all." Miroku said in a cool tone as he watched Kagome and Sesshomaru's behavior, as Kagome smiled at Sesshomaru, both oblivious to the rest of the world. Ha, let Inuyasha love Kikyo all he wanted. Of course at one time he wouldn't be okay with it, having his friend Kagome-sama associate with the dangerous demon lord because surely he had something up his sleeve...as if! And what made him change his mind? It was:
You will never know where you will finally find happiness and with whom...
"Then why..." Sango started looking at the pair oddly. This was way too weird. She didn't know which one was stranger: Sesshomaru having a soft side and being caring or Kagome acting all nice towards him, like he was the best thing that ever happened to her. He DID try and kill her twice and now they were all cozy...hmm...things sure were wierd.
"She 'sat' my mate!" Kikyo said harshly jumping up yelling to Sango and then pointed at Kagome oblivious to Sesshomaru's frigid, cold stare at her. He didn't like her tone. The dead miko obviously had no manners so he supposed that when a person died they lost and forgot thier manners.
"Who's you're mate?" Sango asked looking confused. Last time she checked no one in this group had a mate..."You don't mean Inuyasha right?" He was single last time she checked...
'Hn.' Why did it matter anyway? It was Kagome that was wincing and injured and his half-breed brother wasn't doing anything about it. Now he had his face in the dirt. Some alpha male leader he was, being subjected to the ground by a female half his size, no not even half.
"You've got some nerve trying to subject my mate Inuyasha... reincarnation." Kikyo said angrily.
"You want to start something again?" Kagome said as Miroku gave an inward chuckle. Of course Kagome wasn't going to take bull from anyone, lest Kikyo who had no right to be jealous of her. She hadn't done anything wrong and it was Inuyasha whose brain couldn't decide which one he liked better. She remembered Inuyasha's words from long ago:
-Flashback-
'Can't I have both of them?'
-End Flashback-
Yes. She had been fortunate enough to hear him/his ramble about the both of them. He would never change and it hurt that he couldn't see that he would never find happiness if he was set on following Kikyo, whether it was to mate her or go to her to hell...she was sure it wasn't a pleasent place to be...
"#&#&((#!!" and Inuyasha had spoken. He jumped out of his crater and ruffled out his clothes glaring at his brother who gave him a blank look. Damn him for sauntering into thier camp acting all high and mighty like that!
"You! Get your bloody hands offa my Kagome!" Inuyasha said glaring at where Sesshomaru was holding her ankle.
"Hn. And what if this Sesshomaru says no?" he said goading his brother on. Inuyasha blanched for a second. He hadn't thought of a comeback yet. Hmmm...this one might do though, he always used it on Kouga.
"Then I'm going to freakin' rip your hands offa her!" and Inuyasha pulled his sword out and charged at his brother. The hell he was going to dominate this group! Hell, forget his hands, he was going to rip him limb from limb. That just made it a whole lot better. Sesshomaru didn't even flinch and gave him a bored look. His brother was always so fired up when angry and that he never thought things through.
"Inuyasha why don't you just freakin' SIT down for a second and listen for once before charging at people recklessly!" Kagome said calmly.
(SCREECH!)
and Inuyasha slipped and fell on his bottom while he ran...
(CRASH!)
and Inuyasha hit the ground...
(BOOM!)
and Inuyasha became a crater...
"You wench! You just love making his life miserable don't you?" Kikyo said running to Inuyasha's side.
"No that's your job." Kagome said softly and swatted Sesshomaru's hand away when his hands decided to travel and became a little too friendly. "All in a days work." Kagome said as she felt Sesshomaru's chest rumble with laughter. "I'm glad at least someone's amused." she mumbled.
"Oh so that's what happened." Sango said nodding her head. Tsk...Things sure got interesting when Sesshomaru was here and maybe a lot more violent? Inuyasha was never this angry when Kouga was around but then again, Kouga never sat down with Kagome and held her ankle with care now did he?
Of course. Nothing was wrong at all.
"Perhaps tommorrow we will press on to our journey Sesshomaru-sama?" Miroku said and then hurridly added, "And then perhaps Kagome's ankle might become a little bit better." He looked at Sesshomaru for approval and he nodded. Kagome's care came first. It was the alpha male's job to see after all thier member's health (etc.) and Inuyasha was a poor example, his face was still in the dirt after all. Sango sighed and sat down opposite Miroku and to the left of Sesshomaru and Kagome. Honestly the way they were behaving, all mushy and close up together anyone passing by would think they were mates or lovers. She watched Kagome whisper something to Sesshomaru and then blush at his look. That made Sango smile a little. They were happy...
"How does your ankle feel now Kagome?" Sesshomaru said softly as he rubbed it.
"It's doing much better." Kagome said giving him a soft smile. Inuyasha jumped out of his crater and then huffed glaring at the pair. Well let them be all mushy for now! There was still tommorrow!
"I'll be carrying Kagome tommorrow on my back." he said. If it had been someone else they would've yelled WTF? and started a fight with Inuyasha but this was Sesshomaru.
"This Sesshomaru thinks not. He believes that Kagome likes very much to be in someone's arms rather then on someone's back..."
"Yeah. and what about your Kikyo? Sango said smirking at Inuyasha then looking at Kikyo who was glaring at him. How dare he? So he did love that bloody Kagome after all! He was jealous of Sesshomaru... so jealous that he'd almost attacked him for Kagome.
'Aw hell!! I forgot about her!' Inuyasha thought. Miroku watched mixed emotions pass on Inuyasha's face and couldn't help but snicker a little. He was having a dilemma. On one hand he had a duty to Kikyo and on the other hand he hated any male touching Kagome who he was sworn to protect and then on top of that he loved both of them.
'Awww HELL!! What am I going to do?!' Inuyasha thought. 'Looks like Sesshomaru won round 1.' he thought grimacing and the cold-hearted bastard knew it too!! but of course Sesshomaru wasn't paying attention to him he was giving his undivided attention to Kagome.
"Hanyou if you have something to say then speak." Sesshomaru said in an icy voice.
"You wouldn't understand..." Inuyasha said as something burned in his heart. 'Kagome, I realize now that all I wanted was to see your face smiling as you're doing with my brother with all your heart and soul.'
You will never know where you will finally find happiness and with whom...
