SPaZin-Person: I sorry. But you've got to admit, I do update often-don't I? Well after this chapter it'll be a little while because I'm still typing out 15 and writing the last conversation on it too. I have to say, it'll be a freakishly long chapter. If I had to take a guess, I'd say well over 3000 words. So I'll ask you to bear with me until I get it completed. Arigatou! It's harder to keep up than I thought-lol.
Okami no Hanyou: Thanks for the info on how to say father! Gomen! I know what you mean about the cliffhanger thingie, it seems like EVERYONE is writting a huge cliffhanger and then not updating for a long time. You have an excuse, though. You didn't ASK for your computer to be all shitty. I know I said this when I reviewed yer last chapter, but I looovvvee your story! It kicks major ass! Sorry that everyone is OOC, but I don't know...I felt like I have to do it. Sesshy's sort of back to being more of his old asshole self in this chapter. I'll say sorry now for any future chapters where you think anyone if OOC- But I'll try my best. It just keeps getting harder and harder, know what I mean? Or am I just a weirdo? Anyways...Hope you like this chapter, I think it's the longest one yet!(well... aside from 15, but that's not on here yet-lol)
Morelen: Hi! I know what you mean, Sesshy was really OOC in the last chapter. I'm sorry for any future chapters where he, or any other character seems OOC. It just keeps getting harder and harder...But I'll try my best. I think I'm gonna make it where Sesshy acts like he's changing for awhile, but inside he's just the same old Sesshy that we know and love. Oh, and sorry if there is a bit of a wait till I put on the next chapter, you see, this is the last chapter that I wrote ahead on. I do have most of 15 written, I must say, it's the best I've ever done. I'm just so proud of chappy 15! It's freakishly long too. So, till the next chapter I guess, TTFN!
LadyRedEyes: You are going to review, hun, aren't you? puppy dog face I read that one chapter of yours, Kagome-chan, and it didnt' make me mad! And it was good! Yer mean. You know what I'm talking bout! I'll get back at you! I know how! I can use Ba-(damn! I almost did it again) against you-tee hee. Well...I suppose there is only one more thing to say...ONE MORE DAY UNTIL THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND CONCERT! choir chorous plays in background tee hee
P.S.-Although Inu-baby is a cutie, I don't own him(what a surprise grimaces ) Nor do I own any other anime. (U know what's next) I'd b happy 2 take FLUFFY off the hands of whoever owns him they shake head "What! U such major #$!" growls angrily "Big Boo!" tear

Sesshomaru's Red Eyes
Chapter 14
Fluffy and the Beast
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Sesshomaru opened his eyes. To Sango's utmost surprise, they were normal.
She finally wormed her way out of the youkai lord's clutches, "Sesshomaru, you need to get a grip!" she said, as her eyes blazed in fury.
"A grip?" Sesshomaru smirked, "I thought I just had a very firm one- on you."
"Get over yourself, jerk, you know I wouldn't have gone along with it, so you took me forcibly and by surprise!" she yelled. The taijiya would've loved to hit him in any way she could, but Rin was there.
The small girl looked between the youkai and the taijiya, "Rin doesn't understand..."
Sango knelt beside Rin, "Its okay Rin, I'll explain."
Sesshomaru crossed his arms, "Remember, Sango, humans are fragile. You wouldn't want to hurt Rin's feelings would you? I assumed you only wanted the best for her."
Sango stood up, her hands strapped to her side, "Now I understand what you're doing- you're trying to make me feel guilty, and you're using Rin to do it!"
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.
"I'll take that as a 'yes!'" the slayer shouted. She turned back to the young girl, "Rin, I'll be your mother, but I don't care for Sesshomaru that way."
"Then how can you be my mother?"
"Yes, Sango, I would like to know that as well." His look showed that he didn't believe what she said.
Sango gave the youkai lord a death glare, then turned to Rin again, "I can actas yourmother. If you need me, you can come talk to me, and I'll always be here to help you in any way I can. Do you understand, Rin?"
Rin's face fell, but she nodded her head nonetheless. "Yes, Rin understands, Sango-sama."
Sango smiled a bit, "What's all this Sango-sama business for? You and I are friends, Rin. Call me Sango-chan."
A smile returned to the little girl's face, "Yes, Sango-chan, I will!" Then she noticed Shippou coming out into the garden from breakfast. "Shippou-chan!" she waved at the young fox youkai, "I want to play tag like you promised!" She started to run over to Shippou, but stopped for a moment and turned to Sango and Sesshomaru. "Bye, Sesshomaru-sama! Bye, Sango-chan!" The taijiya waved to Rin as her form retreated further and further away. Then she herself began to walk away.
"Where are you going, Sango?"(laughs where are you going is a Dave Matthews Band song, yay! I just love Dave! sighs drools Dave...)
"I have nothing more to say to you."
He used demon-like speed to block her path. "Give in, Sango, I know you feel the same way about me."
"If it is extreme anger and disgust, then yes, I do feel the same way."
"You are aware of what I am referring to."
"Of course I am! I'm not that thickheaded, Sesshomaru, unlike you! How dare you use Rin and her feelings like that! Are you that desperate! That obsessed!"
"I, Lord of the Western Lands, am not desperate, and certainly not obsessed."
"I cannot believe how egotistical you are!" Sango yelled.
"Stop being mellow dramatic, it does not suit you."
"Oh no, that's not mellow dramatic- this is!" She slapped him hard in the face.
He grabbed her wrist, and yanked it so she slammed into his chest, "I would be careful of what you say, do you really want that other side of me to come out when Rin is near?"
"LET GO OF ME, NOW! ITS YOU WHO IS ENDANGERING RIN, NOT ME!"
"Not until you pay attention! It is fated, Sango, I have seen it! accept it, or you will-"
"NO, I WILL NOT ACCEPT IT! THIS FARFETCHED "VISION" THAT YOU SAW IS ONLY ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR NEWFOUND OBSESSION! JUST BECAUSE I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO GET YOU TO OPEN UP DOESN'T MEAN I'M SUPPOSED TO BE WITH YOU-YOU SICK-"
"Sango, calm down, do not make me force you to."
"And what could you do anyway?" the taijiya said, her eyes brimming with tears. She looked over in Rin's direction, the little girl wasn't watching.
"Sango, do not do that. Do not shed tears. You are too strong-willed for that."
"That just shows how much you don't know me!" she said bitterly, hot tears now streaming down her face. "Just-leave me alone."
Before Sango could stop him, Sesshomaru wrapped his arms tightly around her, hugging her. Her eyes widened in shock. She was starting to think of hugging him back, but then she shook the thought from her mind.
"NO-STOP IT!" she yelled as she pulled away and more tears came pouring out of her eyes.
"You know that it is difficult for me to express emotion, Sango," he began, "Well it is much easier for me when...when I'm in your presence," he finished awkwardly.
"No, enough!" Sango yelled, an inner pain rising in her, "I cannot tolerate anymore lies!"
"Sango, you can tell when I'm lying, and you know I am not doing that now."
"No," she said again, "You have to be lying, you have to-I- I'm going to marry Miroku, I love him more than anything, more than anyone!"
Sesshomaru glared at the statement, "You still haven't explained to me why marriage is so desperately important to you."
Sango shook her head, "If you don't know by now," she said, "then you'll never know!" With that, she ran into the woods, brushing those damndable tears out of her eyes as she went.
Sesshomaru stood there like a statue, watching Sango run away from him. He wasn't sure what was worse, that, or what she had said about the monk...
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Rin hadn't heard the argument between the taijiya and the youkai, but she did see something-the embrace that they shared. She also saw Sango pull away, and then run into the mori (a/n: I believe that's forest, right?) that surrounded the castle in all directions. 'Poor Sesshomaru-sama,' Rin thought sadly, 'he needs help. Rin wishes there was something she could do.' Then the thought came to her, 'What if Rin helps! Hai, that's what Rin will do! She'll help Sesshomaru-sama! But, where to start?' She looked around her, and spied a bunch of rose bushes. They had red, pink, yellow, and white roses on them.(not all on the same bush, that would just be odd as all hell)
"What is it, Rin-chan?" Shippou asked, "Why are you making that face? Did you swallow a bug or something?"
"No, Shippou-chan," Rin began slyly, "I just think we should stop playing tag for awhile and pick flowers..."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Kagome had three good reasons to get out of the castle:
1)To get away from InuYasha's incessant moaning and groaning
2)To take a bath in the hot springs
3)(and most importantly of all)To find Sango
They had seen Sesshomaru since he came in from talking to her, but Sango was nowhere to be found. Miroku was going insane with worry, and now that she came to thing of it, Kagome was beginning to as well. InuYasha wasn't making things any better. He began rattling off a whole list of things he could have done to her- ranging from kidnapping all the way to nothing short of physical torture and murder. That was where Kagome drew the line and sat InuYasha no less than 3 times.
"Just keep looking," she told the other two, "I'm going to check outside." With that, she left them standing there with dumbfounded expressions on each of their faces.
Kagome had a feeling, a sort of deja vu, that Sango was in the forest, regrouping in some way. She did NOT want any of the guys to find her if that were the case. Maybe she and Sango would partake in a bit of "girl talk" before they meet up with the others.
"Sango? Sango, are you here!"
Sango came out from behind a tree, which she had been leaning against for the past 3 hours, "Hello, Kagome-chan."
Kagome ran to hug her friend, "Sango, what has Sesshomaru been doing to you? First InuYasha says that he did something last night, and now, you go up missing for 3 hours! Are you okay?"
"Kagome, you and I shall talk about that later at the hot springs. It is of dire importance that I explain something about Sesshomaru to everyone right now."
"Right, okay," Kagome answered understandingly. The two set off for the castle.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
About 30 minutes later, Sango had explained everything that she knew about Sesshomaru's red eyes. She failed to mention, however, the fact that they kissed twice. She could tell InuYasha knew about the second time and the hug as well, because his eyes kept on getting bigger, so as to say "Aaannndd?" She ignored him, and pressed on with some other point. And when she said that Sesshomaru's eyes had turned red, Sango thought InuYasha's eyes were literally going to pop out of his head.
"HIS EYES TURNED RED?" the hanyou asked, in a voice that was submerged in worry.
"Hai, InuYasha, and it started to happen to him today when Kouga was here and we were all arguing."
"Do you have the slightest idea what that means, Sango?" InuYasha said sharply.
Sango braced herself, "How bad is it, InuYasha?"
"It is the worst thing that could possibly happen!" the hanyou started.
"What's so bad about it?" Kagome asked.
"Oh, I'll tell ya why its so bad, Kagome," InuYasha began, "It means that Sesshomaru wants to take Sango for his mate!"
The taijiya's mouth dropped open.
"That is preposterous!" Miroku said, "He just met her, he barely even knows her!"
"Can it, Miroku, Myoga told me that my father's eyes turned red in the same day that he met my mother! And in three after he met Sesshomaru's mother!"
"Bu-but-" Miroku stuttered.
"You don't have a thing to fear, Houshi-sama," Sango said firmly, "I certainly don't wish to be his mate!"
"That really doesn't matter, Sango," InuYasha said knowingly, "He can mark you as his by force, and then you'll be stuck up shit creek without a paddle."(a/n: tee hee, don't we all just LOVE how InuYasha is so incredibly blunt all the time!)
"Mark me? How does one go about doing that?"
InuYasha raised an eyebrow as though it were the most simple thing in the world. He grabbed hold of Kagome by the neck to use as a model.
"Can you be a little bit more gentle, InuYasha!"
"I don't do gentle, and as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," he added with a glare, "In order to mark, a youkai must sink his teeth into this spot right here." He was running a pointed claw against the main artery of the neck, "Anywhere else, and the mark is false. It has to enter this vein thing here or it isn't a real mark."
"That would be an artery, not a vein, InuYasha," Kagome said correctively.
"Shut up, baka," the hanyou returned. Kagome and InuYasha were so busy fighting, they didn't notice that Sango and Miroku left.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
They were in the southern turret of the castle.
She had been hugging him for at least 5 minutes.
"Miroku, I don't want to be with Sesshomaru, I love you and only you."
"I know, Sango, and I must do my best to prevent him from forcing that mark on you."
"How?"
The monk smiled down at Sango lovingly. She didn't know how her legs were able to support her entire body after that. His smile was a weakness to her. He put his hand on her cheek, "Marry me as soon as possible."
Sango's eyes went wide, "You really mean that, don't you?"
"Hai, Sango, you know I do. Tomorrow, InuYasha will be well enough to leave the castle, and then the day after that-"
"Oh, Miroku, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Miroku remembered something, "I keep forgetting to give this to you." He held out a silver ring and put it on her finger, "It has been in my family for 3 generations, and now it's yours."
She threw her arms around his neck, "Thank you. But until then, you are in great danger!"
"As are you, Sango."
"I won't let him hurt you!"
"Well, there really isn't much we can do about it- wait a second, are you suggesting that we-"
"NO! Not yet!" she said as the monk's face fell a considerable amount, "I'm just saying that we should sleep in the same room, nothing else."
Miroku raised an eyebrow, "But, Sango, it's...me."
"I know it's you. And I trust you enough not to do anything, right?"
Long silence
"RIGHT?"
Miroku looked truly disappointed, "Yes, you do."
"Thank you," she said as she gave him a kiss on the forehead, which escalated to a kiss on the cheek, which escalated again to a very strong kiss on the lips.
"Sango, you're tempting me on-"
"Alright then, I'll stop," she said slyly as she started to walk away.
Miroku shook his head, "Where do you think you're going?" He wrapped his arms around her from behind and lightly kissed her temple.
"Nowhere. However, you do know we should be getting back. InuYasha and Kagome must have noticed that we were gone by now."
Miroku sighed heavily, "I suppose you're right." He put his arm around her as they walked back to InuYasha and Kagome.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The hanyou and the miko were having a glaring contest. "Miroku, can you please tell Kagome for the last time that I ain't some gentle, sensitive moron?" InuYasha barked. "Miroku?" He looked around, "Sango?"
"Oh great, now look what you've done!"
"What I've done?"
"Hai, InuYasha, what you've done!" Kagome said, throwing her hands up into the air.
"Kagome, I'm gonna-"
"-SIT!"
-thud-
"Stop doing that!"
"Quit being such a jerk and maybe I'll stop!"
"InuYasha, Kagome, that's no way to behave when you are getting married!" Miroku cut in.
"Sango, Miroku, you're here!" Kagome said, still glaring at InuYasha. He was giving her his famous death glare in return.
"If I may interrupt..."
The four friends wheeled around.
"SESSHOMARU!" InuYasha yelled.
"Silence, little brother, you are in my castle."
"Not for much longer!" Kagome piped up, "InuYasha will be fine tomorrow, and then we are all leaving and never coming back!"
"Is that so?"
"Do not toy with us, Sesshomaru, we're going and there isn't a thing you can do about it!" Miroku replied angrily.
"Then I suppose you'll be leaving without this," the youkai lord said as he took one of his hands away from his back.
"KIRARA!" Sango yelled. The demon cat was bound by the feet and gagged, not to mention wearing a very beaten expression.(a/n: Awww, Fluffy! You were starting to turn sooo good! What went wrong?)
"You basterd!" InuYasha shouted.
Kagome gasped, 'Good thing Shippou isn't here to see this,' she thought.
"Now you see," Sesshomaru began, "None of you are leaving this castle." InuYasha put his hand on his katana, ready to strike.
"InuYasha," Miroku said, "Restrain yourself, or Kirara will be the one to fall victim, not Sesshomaru."
"That is the most sensible thing you have ever said, monk," Sesshomaru mocked.
"Why do you do this, Sesshomaru?" Sango asked, while watching her beloved pet dangle from his clawed hand.
"I would think," he began, "the answer is obvious."
"LET KIRARA GO!" the taijiya roared as the slapped him across the face once again.
Sesshomaru's eyes were now tinted with red, "Do not test me, huntress."
Sango gasped, 'He called me huntress when he changed into-' she thought. "InuYasha, Miroku, Kagome, we must get out of here now!"
"I'm not going anywhere!" InuYasha said stubbornly.
"InuYasha!" Kagome scolded, "Do you want him to hurt Kirara!"
"No I just-"
"SIT!"
"Kirara, I'll get you back, I swear!" Sango reassured her pet. "Be brave for me, okay?"
A muffled purr came from behind Kirara's bindings, and Sango's eyes began to water. "Kirara, I'm not abandoning you," she promised, "I'd never do that."
Sesshomaru's eyes were slowly changing back, although they were never completely red. "I expect none of you will attempt to depart this castle." With that, he turned his heel and left.
Kagome took InuYasha outside to try to get him to calm down, and also to check on Shippou. He was protesting about not being able to go after Sesshomaru the whole time of course.
Sango went to her room to pick up some clothes for the next morning and to sleep in as well. On her pillow, however, she noticed something. There were 2 pink roses, 2 yellow roses, 2 white roses, and 1 red rose on it. She read the note. It was written in a neat scrawl:
Fairest Sango, the pink roses that I have lain here represent the two days that I have known you. The yellow roses represent the two days that I have wanted to be your friend and companion. The white roses represent the two days that I have been astounded by your inner and outer beauty. And the final rose, the red one, represents the number of days that I have loved you. -Sesshomaru
Sango stood there, open-mouthed for a whole 2 minutes. Then her face went rigid. She scooped up all of the roses and walked over to the balcony. "DAMN YOU!" she yelled as she threw them over the edge. "DON'T YOU GET IT! I DESPISE YOU!" But in her heart, she knew it wasn't true. And worst of all, it was just beginning.

'But there is something you can do to...delay me, at the very least,' said the voice in Sesshomaru's head.
"And how do you propose I do that?" Sesshomaru asked through clenched teeth, "Let me guess, you want my body for yourself?"
'Oh no,' began the youkai, 'I wish to start anew. I WANT A BODY OF MY OWN!'
