Hello hello! I'm back with chapter 17! I know some of you were wondering why Miroku and Fluffy-sama were a little ooc last chapter. Well, I actually did that on purpose. I thought it would be interesting if I sort of switched it. You know, by making Fluffy more of a pervert and making Miroku more serious. I thought it would be odd and kind of different. I don't exactly know how this chapter is going to turn out, since I've been listening to a mixture of the Doors and Bon Jovi while writing it. In any case, I hope you all like it! I really don't know what else to say, so enjoy the chapter! Toodles!
Liebe,
Sesshomaru is Mine

Sesshomaru's Red Eyes
Chapter 17:
Wishes, Dreams, And Broken Things
Part 2
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The full moon was almost completely covered by large, puffy clouds. A peaceful quiet filled the garden. Kagome was running. To where or from what she didn't know. But she knew one thing, she must find light. Light, a sense of security and comfort came from it. It was there, waiting to be found. Kagome would find refuge and perhaps even a home in the light. Two tiny dots of red were glowing in the distance. 'Light,' Kagome thought, 'It's so far away. I have to get to it.' She ran faster. Surely by now she would feel at least a little tired? It was so close...so very close. Kagome reached an outstretched hand for it, and quite suddenly, the light disappeared. Kagome didn't like darkness. It made her uneasy. From nowhere, a strong hand clasped her wrist. Kagome let out a strangled gasp. Someone was lit up in a bright red light that covered him completely. Kagome recognized the outline, "Sesshomaru, please, stop messing around, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"
A low, deep growl escaped his mouth, "How many times must I verify that I am not Sesshomaru?"
Kagome yelped and tried to pull back, but he still had a firm grip on her wrist. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction, "I-I don't know who you are then."
"Is that so? If that is the case, Kagome, then allow me to refresh your memory." Battousi's figure stood out more clearly against the red light. But it wasn't Sesshomaru's body she saw. Battousi had his own body.
"How did you-" Kagome began. He put a clawed finger to her lips to stop her. Kagome held her breath. His was on her face, warming it against the cold night air. He looked down at her as she looked back at him. He could kill her now. He was going to, she just knew it.
"Fear not for your life, Kagome," he answered her.
"How do you know that's how I feel?"
"I can read minds, Kagome."
"Oh. So, um...what am I thinking now?" She shouldn't be thinking this. It could turn out badly if he really could read minds, but if Sesshomaru can't read minds, Battousi shouldn't be able to either...right?
"I can read minds," he repeated, "And...I can grant your request."
Kagome gasped again. it just couldn't be. His face was dangerously close to hers. "I shall give you as you asked."
He kissed her.
Kagome was suddenly whirling in a rush of sight and sound. The only thing that was clear was a gasp for breath. Someone was falling to the ground. Demons were roaring. People were crying. Kagome realized that she heard Sango sobbing. "InuYasha!" she heard herself whisper sadly.
"Kagome, I'm sorry."
"No, InuYasha, don't be...I love you."
"I love you too."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"KAGOME! WHAT IS IT? ARE YOU ALRIGHT!"
"InuYasha!" Kagome threw her arms around the hanyou, hugging him with all her might, "You're alive!"
"...Of course I'm alive, why wouldn't I be?"
"Huh? Oh, I suppose I just had a nightmare."
"Seems like it."
"It was so real," she said as she hugged him even tighter.
"Well, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"Alright then," he said as he started to get up.
"InuYasha, no," began the miko, "Please…stay here." She had a dream where he had died, at least it seemed that way. She wanted him in her sights. Nothing would happen to him if she was around. The dream made her nervous…she got really bad vibes from it. 'It can't be a vision,' she thought to herself, 'Oh, Kami-sama, please don't let it be.'
"Stay here?" InuYasha repeated puzzlingly. He sighed a little, but didn't sound annoyed. "I'll stay," he finished.
"Thank you," she said, as she put her arms around his neck and nuzzled it affectionately.
"You sure seem really flustered. What did you dream about anyways?"
"I dreamt…" she chose her words carefully, "…I dreamt…that you left me…forever."
"Is that so? Well, you don't have to worry about that. I won't leave you, Kagome, that's a promise."
"Then I'll take that promise." She then thought with dread, 'But…but what if you can't help but leave me? What if someone takes you away from me? Kills you? Oh please don't let that dream be true!'
"Don't worry, you're safe," he said, hugging her tightly.
Kagome slowly nodded, but nothing InuYasha could say would help relieve the feeling of impending and certain doom that she now felt.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Sango massaged her right eye sleepily and got out of bed. Her muscles were sore from her night. 'Well,' she thought, 'I certainly feel like hell. I'm sure I look like hell as well. Stupid fever, I never thought it would get that bad.' She stretched by reaching her arms up to the ceiling and standing on tip toes. 'That's a little better. A nice, long bath is still a must, though.' She glanced at the sleeping monk that occupied a chair next to her bed. "Houshi-sama," she said with exasperation, "I told you that you need not stay here. And…you didn't try to move into my bed with me?" she smiled slightly, "What do you know, miracles do happen!" She went over and kissed him on the forehead. A line of drool was running from his mouth. "You're absolutely disgusting, know that?" she said with a giggle to the sleeping monk, 'To think, I'll wake up next to that every morning. Aw, you know you can't wait,' she argued with herself, 'I know,' she agreed. Miroku let out a particularly loud snore. Sango shook her head. 'He sleeps like a rock though.' With that thought, she went to bathe.
The taijiya sat in a pool or perfumed water and bubbles. (A/N: Marisa….BUBBLES!-inside joke) She was thinking of the events that had occurred the night before….
Sango's Flashback
Miroku sat there, thunderstruck. Sango's story sure was a spectacular one. Strange, it was, that Sesshomaru would give a damn about any human.
"Houshi-sama, I'm so sorry," Sango said, for what must have been the 10th time.
"I told you, Sango, call me by my name."
"Yes, I'm sorry, forgive me, Housh- I mean…Miroku."
"Sango, you don't have to keep saying that you're sorry, I believe that you are."
"Yes, but-"
"No buts. What's done is done. It is past. I will not have you beat yourself up about this. You say that you want to be with me and I believe it."
"How could you though? All of those times that I questioned your loyalty and yet you forgive me without a second thought? Why?"
"The answer is simple my dear taijiya, I love you. And I want to live with you and have children with you. But I must ask you if you are just as sure as I am about our being together. I must admit, I've had my doubts, and obviously, these events you have told me of are your doubts."
"I've never been more sure of anything," Sango shot back truthfully. "I have felt this way about you for a long time and now that I've found you feel the same, I'm not about to let that go."
"You've made me happy, Sango, but there is one more question that I wish to ask." Sango rose her head to face his attentively. "What exactly are your feelings for Sesshomaru?"
Sango paused for a moment. "….It's highly embarrassing for me to say…but…I suppose…" Miroku's eyebrows rose, as if to encourage her on. She found her courage, "I suppose, I'm simply……attracted to him."
Miroku's head tilted to the side a bit, "Is that all?"
"Is that all?" she repeated.
"I've done that on many occasions, you know that. But I suppose, to you, it's a big deal."
Sango's eyes flashed, "What is it so strange that I lust just as you do!" After Sango uttered that sentence, she gasped at her own daring. "Miroku, I'm sorry, I'm…."
Miroku lowered his head, rubbing his temple as he did so, "I'd never expect you to use that particular word, especially while referring to Sesshomaru."
"Yes, I'm sorry," and she truly looked it, "But don't get me wrong, I'm quite attracted to you as well." After she said that, she slapped a hand to her forehead, 'Baka! What are you getting yourself into!' she thought. Was the medicine causing her to say things that she dare not do under a normal, healthy state?
Miroku smirked at her, "Oh my dear Sango, you're lucky you're sick. Or shall I say unlucky?"
This simple sentence caused Sango to glow like the morning sun. "Perhaps I am." Another daring statement. Time to come back to earth, though, "But that, Miroku, is for another day."
"Then I shall wait for that day with all the control I have, Sango."
"Thank you, Miroku."
"You are most welcome. Now, rest. Sleep will do you well."
"I'm fine, I've had much worse than this."
He put a hand on her cheek, "Rest. I shall be here to watch over you."
Sango blushed a little more, "Miroku, I'm fine, you don't have to stay."
"I know I don't. Rest for me, Sango. You don't want to feel unwell a couple of days from now, do you?"
Sango smiled at the mention of the wedding, "Of course not. Goodnight, Miroku."
"Goodnight, dear Sango." He kissed her on the forehead and Sango closed her eyes, feeling her consciousness slowly drift away….
End Sango's Flashback
(A/N: Yeah, I know she got out of it really easily. But, since I am evil, I can write this however I want evil laughter I have a very clear idea of what I want to write for this story so I'm sorry if some of you are displeased. Well, that's about it, on w/ the story, toodles!)
Sango was soaking in all the water, her eyes closed. The door creaked open and in walked everybody's favorite pervert. "Miroku! What do you think you're doing!" The monk was walking towards the center of the room, his eyes closed and arms stretched out wide in front of him. "MIROKU, DAMMIT I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SLEEP WALKING, SO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
The monk miraculously came to, "Temper, temper, my dear Sango! I'm surprised at you! To use such language in front of a servant of Buddha!"
The taijiya was twitching in anger, "Grrr, MIIIRRROOOOKKKKUUUUUU!"
The houshi held up his hands in defense, "Very well, I shall depart. Before I leave, however, I would like to thank you."
"Thank me for what exactly?"
"Thank you for leaving the door partly open. Farewell, Sango." With that, the monk turned to leave.
"I told you never to peep in on me, letch!" She threw a bar of soap at his head, and he ducked, just barely, and exited the room with a wide smirk on his face.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Sango told Kagome about her upcoming wedding, but Kagome felt bad. She wish there was something she could do for her best friend. Sango didn't even have a wedding dress. Kagome decided as she was getting dressed that morning, that it was she who must take action. That thought didn't make her feel any less queasy as she stood in front of Sesshomaru's room. She knocked gently on the door. Not even InuYasha knew what she was doing. The hanyou was currently stuffing his face with ramen down it the dining hall. Shippou was with him.
A harsh voice came from the other side of the door, "If it isn't InuYasha's wench."
Kagome slowly opened the door as her eyes narrowed angrily. Then, her eyes went from being narrowed, to being the same size as headlights to a car. She was standing in a library. It was well-lit, for there were 4 windows that reached from floor to ceiling. The book shelves towered just as high, and were filled with countless amounts of books that lined every wall. Sesshomaru was sitting at a neatly polished desk, his back facing Kagome. "Well? What have you come for?"
Kagome tried to keep her voice steady as she spoke to the taiyoukai, "I've come to ask you if InuYasha and I could leave the castle grounds-" Kagome paused for a moment, because Sesshomaru let out a low growl. She then started up again, "and go to the bone eater's well. From there I plan to go to my own time and pick up a few things to surprise Sango with. You know, for her wedding." Kagome was surprised that Sesshomaru didn't growl after she said the last sentence.
"Do you plan on tricking me, miko?"
"No, Sesshomaru, I plan to do no such thing. I just don't want you to hurt Kirara if we leave for a little while."
"Sesshomaru-sama, miko."
"Gomen. Now, please say you'll let us go."
"Do only what you said you are to do. And be back by sunset tomarrow. If you are not, there shall be consequences."
"Oh, arigatou! Now if you'd please excuse me, I have to go tell InuYasha."
"Make sure you close the door."
"Yes, I will. Oh thank you again!"
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Glowing red eyes followed Kagome as she left. "The stupid wench has no idea, perfect. All of them are foolish beyond compare. Especially…Sesshomaru-sama. My brother. How, incredibly pathetic. Oh yes, Sesshomaru, I'll help you. But only to a certain extent. I intend to screw each and every one of you over, and even you aren't an exception. The sad thing is, none of you have a clue as to what is happening right under your very noses." His whole body was glowing red. He had such amazing powers that no one, not even Sesshomaru would expect. Battousi was brilliant, cunning. He valued the power of the mind more than that of physical strength. That in itself, was one of his greatest powers. However, his other abilities certainly helped as well.
The power he was using now…
…Teleportation…
Battousi found himself on the inside of a rickety old hut. It smelled of disgusting, rotting things.
"Why are you here, Sesshomaru-sama?"
A growl escaped the mouth of the man slayer. "Sesshomaru I am not. But I know full well who you are…Naraku."
"Heh, how is it you have Sesshomaru's body, sound like him, and know who I am then?"
"I live inside Sesshomaru, Naraku. Not for long, however. I realize that you are very cunning, Naraku. Your services would be of great use to me. Now is your chance to come out into the open again."
"I see that you yourself would be a worthy partner. Who are you then?"
"I am the man slayer, Battousi, dark prince of the Western Lands."
"Your name certainly suits you. How did you come to find that I still live?"
"I know of everything that goes on around me. Your plan was excellent I must admit. Creating a incarnation baring your exact likeness. Hell, you even set a spell to get rid of the monk's wind tunnel did you not?"
"That I did. I am pleased that you approve."
"Which is why you and only you shall assist me in my own plan. The houshi and taijiya are planning to join in matrimony in 2 days time. The way I have planned this, everyone will suffer. You shall have your revenge. Now, here is what I am expecting from you, Naraku-"
(A/N: Oh yes, I'm certainly feeling evil today! You wanna know what Battousi's plan is? Oops, not yet! MUHAHAHAHA! That will hopefully happen next chapter! Sorry you all have to suffer on account of my evil! But you can wait. Again, MUHAHAHAHA!)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"InuYasha, come on, we already told everyone where we're going, so why the hold up?"
"Nothing. Let's go." He picked Kagome up and began sprinting through the forest. What InuYasha didn't say was that he had a really bad feeling about this. He didn't want to bother Kagome with it, though. Not after she was so messed up about that dream she had. It was best that this was trip they were taking is done as quickly as possible, just to get it over with.
They arrived at the bone eater's well around midday. Kagome suggested that they rest for a minute and made InuYasha some ramen. InuYasha sniffed the air, smelling the ramen cooking over the fire. Then he became still. "Kagome, get down now!" he yelled. They hit the deck just in time to be missed by blades flying through the air.
"What a pity, it's more fun if you don't dodge, InuYasha."
"Kagura, dammit, I thought I smelled your stink."
Kagome gasped, "Kagura!"
"You bitch, just when I thought we got rid of you-"
"I've quite missed you too, InuYasha."
"Shut up, Kagura! What the hell are you trying to do by showing up like this!"
"I should think that would be obvious, InuYasha, I'm trying to kill you. Both of you."
"You won't get the chance! Kagome, get out of the way!"
"InuYasha, be careful!"
"I've got it," he answered as he swung his katana high into the air… "Kagura, YOU'RE DEAD!"
"Not quite." Blades flew in every direction. There was the sound of things getting wrecked, and then a scream from Kagome.
"KAGOME!" InuYasha went to her side, "Kagome, what is it?"
Covering up her eyes, Kagome pointed behind InuYasha. When he saw what she was pointing at, he muttered, "Kuso."
"NO!" Kagome yelled, shaking in unsuppressed rage, "IT'S GONE!"
InuYasha put his arms around her, "I'm sorry, Kagome."
"Don't be, InuYasha. It's not your fault-IT'S HERS!" she roared, pointing at the culprit. But Kagura wasn't there.
"Damn her," InuYasha growled.
Kagome got up and picked up a small piece of the completely demolished well in her hand.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Sesshomaru: insert growl here I wasn't in this chapter at all, and as the Lord of the Western Lands, I demand that you change that.

"What is it, Sango?" Miroku said groggily.
"Don't you feel it, Miroku? At least a hundred demons are heading in this direction as we speak!"
