Nothing Is Impossible for Love to Overcome
By: Sandreline
Hello everyone! I am very happy to report that I have 1,250+ hits on this story!
One question… why don't I have that many reviews?
Even if it's a flame, I want them! Let me know what you guys think!
If there are things that you want to happen in the story, suggestions are more than welcome! Like I said, I'm doing this story off the top of my head…
Thank you to all my wonderful reviewers! You are all so amazing; I don't know what I would do without you! Who needs coffee when I have reviews like the ones I have? And that's saying a lot, a girl needs her coffee…
Chapter 4: I'm not done with you yet, buddy!
Sesshomaru broke the kiss. "I will call you again, Miko." And was gone.
Kagome stood there, dumbfounded. She fell to her knees, staring where he had been.
Her aura flared again in anger, purifying his scent on her. When it died down, Kilala came up to her, meowing.
Kagome looked down, and pet the mononoke. "It's ok, Kilala. I'm alright. We should get back. Thanks for coming with me." She said, picking up the fire cat. Kilala meowed.
(That didn't help me at all!) She groaned mentally. (Why the hell do men have to be so damn confusing! They should be locked up, kept underground, and used only for reproduction!)

Sesshomaru flew through the forest, before leaping up and taking flight on his cloud. That was more interesting than he thought it would be. She was powerful indeed, and her scent was intoxicating, and her spirit…
Her spirit was something he would look forward to testing, that much he knew. For now, he had to see to his lands.

The group carried on quietly, each in their own little worlds as they traveled on.
Actually, for Kagome, it was more like her own little hell. (I swear, on this blasted jewel around my neck, that I will find out what Sesshomaru is up to!) She brought two fingers to her lips. (Why does he do that? It is definitely not something Sesshomaru would do! So why did he? I mean, after all, he is the 'high and mighty demon lord, all shall bow before me or I will kill you' type person – demon.) Kagome sighed frustratingly as she reached to get out some more Advil.
InuYasha and the rest of the group watched her, deciding to follow her that day. His ears swiveled as he watched her dig for the bottle of 'pills'.
InuYasha leapt in to the air, landing in front of the surprised woman who was shaken out of her thoughts. "Why do you keep taking those?" He asked. "You're not sick again, are you?" He carried on, sniffing her.
Kagome snarled. "No, I'm not sick; I just have a killer headache because I'm thinking so much!" She cried.
"Feh, than stop thinking so much!" The hanyou countered, crossing his arms over his chest.
Kagome growled. "I can't! I have too much to do, too much going on! How about you leave me alone for a minute and let me get my thoughts straight!"
InuYasha whimpered, stepping back from the normally calm and passive priestess. "Fine, bite me head off, see if I care!" He huffed, turning away as he walked on.
Shippo whispered into Miroku's ear. "I'm getting worried…" He said.
"Yes, we are as well. She is fine with us, but for some reason, certain things are starting to tick her off…" Miroku commented.
"What are you getting at, Miroku?" Sango asked, Kilala meowing in her arms.
"Have you noticed that any time InuYasha starts to question her in a way that makes her feel inferior or helpless, she becomes angry?" He pointed out.
"Well, gee, that's nothing new! InuYasha is always doing that to Momma!" Shippo countered.
"True. However, it was never to this extent. She has become so frustrated, that her Miko powers are lashing out. Did you not notice how she was actually glowing yesterday?" He asked.
Sango looked down at Kilala in her arms. "I think its time for that 'girl talk'."

After lunch, the girls had set out to find water to refill Kagome's water bottles. When they came back, Shippo and Miroku could tell that Sango had no luck at all.
"Anything?" Miroku asked.
"Nothing! She masterfully changed the subject each and every time!" Sango said worriedly.
Miroku also looked at the woman who against appeared in deep thought. "Maybe we should give it some time."
Sango and Shippo sighed, but for the moment there was nothing else that they could do…

With no Shards felt that day, the group decided to set up camp just before sundown. Kagome was again leaning against a tree with Shippo in her lap as she continued on with her story. It takes a lot of talent to write like Tamora Pierce!
"He was hinting before he left that he was thinking of poppin' the question." Kagome said in her best 'George' voice. "Are you tellin' me that you refused?"
"I really don't want to talk about it." She switched to her 'Alanna' voice.
"Than you won't." She continued on as 'George'.
"I knew it!" Shippo cheered happily. "I knew they would end up together!"
Kagome laughed. "Are you sure? There is still the rest of this book and the next one to find out." Kagome told him.
"I know so! She has to choose him!" Shippo added.
Right on time, she felt the tug on her soul. Kagome frowned. She didn't like that he had this to hold against her, there was no telling what he could do.
"Come on, Shippo. Time for my bath!" Kagome sang.
Shippo nodded, and Kagome watched him snuggle into the sleeping bag before she gathered her things and went off the meet Sesshomaru. When she was far enough away, she set her bathing supplies down, and carried on with just her bow and arrows. Once again she was led into a clearing, and there he was. But this time, there was a two headed dragon with him.
Kagome raised one of her eyebrows at the beast, which she could tell was a dragon youkai. Kagome stopped when Sesshomaru looked at her.
His face was blank, but Kagome could clearly see amusement in his eyes.
"Come, Miko." He said his velvet voice smooth.
Kagome huffed in anger at being ordered around. However, she did want to see the dragon…
Kagome didn't respond, nor did she look at his 'worshipfulness' as she approached the dragon. As she did (Ah-Un was it? She thought.) looked at her. She approached slowly, gingerly raising her free hand to place it on one of their foreheads. Before she set it down, she let the head sniff her hand, before it gave a sneeze-like sound, and pushed its head into her palm.
Kagome smiled as she pet the large creature that would appear frightful, but was very gentle. Soon, the other head was nudging her for his share. Kagome gave a small laugh as she did its bidding.
The whole time, Sesshomaru watched her with keen interest, just studying her and her facial expressions. She truly was a sight to behold; for all that she was a human, and a Miko at that.
"Miko," Sesshomaru started.
"My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me. You are more like your brother than you know." She said, not even turning to look at him as spoke, instead continuing to stroke the dragon. Speaking of the dragon, was he purring?
Sesshomaru's eyes lowered into a glare, and his voice filled with a hint of anger. He knew that Kagome would never be able to tell that he was actually amused. "Very well, Ka-go-me," He mocked her. "Get on."
Now Kagome did look at him. "Huh?" She whispered.
"I will not repeat myself." He told her sternly.
Kagome glared at him. "No! Look, I'm sick of you bossing me around like I'm your servant or something! You have no right to do that! I came here to ask that you either stop harassing me and we go our ways, or I'm going to-"
Again, Sesshomaru silenced her with his lips, and Kagome let out a gasp, before she growled. He pulled away, but stayed close enough where she could feel his warm breath on her lips. "You're going to do what?"
Kagome glared. "If you would stop doing that to me, I would be able to finish my sentences! And why do you do that? I've told you before, you're not suppose to go around kissing people, it's not right! All you're doing, Sesshomaru-sama is messing with me so that-"
Sesshomaru growled, grabbing her by her throat. "Miko, you will do well to silence yourself now!" Kagome did, swallowing slightly. Now she was starting to get scared.
Sesshomaru dropped her, and Ah-Un glanced at her as if apologizing. Kagome, knowing that what she was about to do was suicidal, stood up yelling at the TaiYoukai. She was too angry now to care. "I'm not done with you yet, buddy!" Kagome shouted, her aura rising.
Sesshomaru glared her. "Get on, now Miko." He commanded his voice as cold as death.
"Why should I?" She asked. (Kami, he's about to kill me…) She thought, though she refused to show her fear.
Sesshomaru's eyes bled red and Kagome found herself once again being held up by his claws, which were starting to dig into her throat. Despite her wincing, she still looked him right in the eyes. "You should consider yourself lucky that I have allowed you to live this long so far, wench! Before I reconsider that decision, you had best listen!"
Kagome nodded before she was set on the saddle of the dragon. Her powers wrapped around her neck, heeling the small holes from the Ice Prince's claws before sinking back inside of her. She stiffened as she felt him settle behind her, reaching around her body to grabs the reins. Kagome realized that he wasn't wearing his armor – if he had been, she would have been spiked. Instead, however, she felt the heat from his strong chiseled chest against her back, and was very glad that he could not see her blush.
Sesshomaru snapped the reins, and Ah-Un reared his head back in a roar before she was suddenly taken up into the air. Kagome yipped in surprise, clutching her bow to her chest as she leaned forward. Sesshomaru chuckled in his throat, but it was so soft Kagome told herself that she must have imagined it. Ah-Un steadied, and soon they were traveling forward.
"Look." Sesshomaru's voice ordered, though not as sharp as it was before.
Kagome obeyed, opening the eyes that she didn't realize she had closed. What she saw beneath her made her gasp. Fireflies made the forest below twinkle in the moonlight, a river down below glittering as it ran over rocks and small waterfalls. Flowers became dots of color in the dark blue-green of the nighttime forest. It was beautiful. Kagome couldn't believe that she hadn't been able to see this when she was walking along the trees.
A serene smile came across her lips, and Sesshomaru knew that he had been forgotten. That was fine, for now. He watched her, awed by the simplicity of such wonders. Her blue-gray eyes sparkled with a child-like wonderment, and her ebony curls brushed against him in the passing wind. At the sight of her exposed moonlight skin of her neck, he felt tempted to nuzzle her there, kissing and possibly nipping…
He shook his head. That was absurd, she as a nigen, and a Miko at that! He would not stoop so low as his father to desire a human…
He gripped the reins of the dragon steed's halter tighter, his arms squeezing Kagome more in the process which reminded her of where she was. Kagome gasped, looking over her shoulder at the demon lord.
"I don't get it…" She whispered.
Sesshomaru looked at her. "Are you talking to this Sesshomaru?" He asked.
"I don't get it, why are you doing this?" She asked, turning slightly more to watch him better, still clutching her bow to her chest as if it was a teddy bear.
He did not answer, instead he directed Ah-Un down to where they had met tonight, and Sesshomaru picked the woman up and set her down. He landed beside her, and Kagome let her hands fall to her sides as she looked at the stoic demon lord. "You had best return to my half-brother." He said, looking her in the eyes.
Kagome stood there for a moment, contemplating what she should do. When she did not respond to him, Sesshomaru leaned forward and placed two fingers under her chin, lifting her face as he kissed her.
Kagome's eyes fell closed, and she let him devour her, any reason fleeing her mind as to why she should not be doing this. His fangs brushed against her body lip, and she opened her mouth in a throaty moan. Sesshomaru delved his tongue into her mouth, running it along her own as he explored her cavern. She tasted sweet, and he enjoyed the fact that she didn't stop him. He pulled away slightly, sucking quickly on her lower lip for a moment before pulling away. "Go." He told her, taking the reins of Ah-Un in his hand. Kagome, dazed, simply nodded and turned around, walking back to her camp.
As she disappeared from sight, Sesshomaru grinned.

Kagome was still dazed when she got back from camp, barely remembering to gather her deserted items. Sango noticed that the Miko had not bathed, and noticed her glazed eyes. "Kagome, are you ok? You didn't take a bath."
Kagome looked at her, and gave a small smile. "Yeah, I decided to go for a walk instead." She yawed. "Night guys." She said, crawling into her sleeping bag.
That night, Kagome dreamt about flying on a dragon in Sesshomaru's arms. Until the next morning, when she realized that she had not found anything about what Sesshomaru was up to.
