Sesshoumaru's Adventure
Chapter Four: Weekend with Sesshoumaru (part 2)
Sesshoumaru woke up in the middle of the night, panting and covered in sweat. He sits up and places his hand on his forehead.
He clenches his teeth. "Why won't these haunting nightmares just leave me alone?" He looks around the room.
Kagome has her blankets kicked off her and has her arms spread out like and eagle's. He hears her steady breath as she inhales and exhales. He looks out the window and has a better look at the sky since the now torn curtains were removed. The many stars were fading away as the sun rose from the horizon as the moon sets under it.
For some reason he begins to think of Rin. She has her talking days and silent days at school, but that is the life of a child when they lose their parents and have live with foster parents.Now and then he can feel her watching him. She is in 1st grade along with Kagome's and Sango's younger brothers. So since Sesshoumaru is in 3rd she is only able to watch him at recess and lunch. Her chocolate brown eyes swallow and admire him. And he can hear her heart beat faster when they walk by each other. He knows that she has feelings for him. And he always wonders why. He is cold, distant, and never was he nice to anyone, except his mother. But she still likes him.
He sets his head back on the bright orange pillow and tries to get the most sleep that he can.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"Where did that brat run off to?" Inutaisho thought as he lies next to his human wife. "I must kill him before he tells someone of what I did. I can't let that happen!"
Inutaisho got out of his bed and walked into the bathroom. He looks at himself in the mirror. Looking at the face of a killer. He turns on the faucet, letting the clear water splash onto the bottom of the sink. Cupping his hands, he places them under the water and splashes his face.
Ever since that day, Inutaisho has been looking for Sesshoumaru. He would get sent to jail if anyone knew about what he had done. Even though he could pay for the bail, how would Izayoi react to hear about him being a murderer? His whole family would then never even look or talk to him. They really did love to see Sesshoumaru's mother on holidays as well as any other days. Even Izayoi was happy to hear how her and Sesshoumaru were doing. But Inuyasha would probably be happy to see them both dead. But that is only one person. He had to kill Sesshoumaru. No more thinking about it. It had to be done…
He walks out of the restroom and gets ready for work.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
The sun hovers the land of humans and demons from above as some rays gleam towards the window. Kagome slowly opens her eyes, then automatically closes them. She wasn't used to the sun yet. Plus she was used to having her curtains to help block some of the light. She sits up and hangs her legs off the edge of the bed. Her feet felt something soft so she quickly pulled them back up.
Sesshoumaru turned on his back and looked at Kagome with an growl and an irritated look.
"Heh. Heh. Sorry about that." Kagome said as she smiled.
He just sighed and turned to his side, and faced away from her.
"Am I gonna have to freak out every morning with him?" Kagome yawned and crawled out of bed. She gathered her clothes for the day and went to the bathroom.
She turned on the water to let it fill the tub. She removed her pajamas and stepped in. She did her shampooing and conditioning and washing her body. As she sat on the bottom to just soak in the warm water, she put her mouth in and began to blow bubbles as she thought of a plan.
"Making sure Inuyasha doesn't notice Sesshoumaru will be a piece of cake." She lifted her head from the water. "Aw who am I kidding? With him being a dog demon, well, half a dog demon, he can smell Sesshoumaru right when he steps in."
She got out and dried her hair as much as she could. She put her towel back on the hook and began to get dressed.
Kagome put on an orange spaghetti strap shirt and a blue jean skirt ending just above her knees with flower designs bordering the edge. She stood on the stool and grabbed her tooth brush. Poured the toothpaste on the brush and began brushing. She was going have a refreshing day.
She walks back to her room while brushing her black ebony hairand finds Sesshoumaru already dressed. He wore a a navy blue shirt with a black and silver dragon on the front with dark blue jeans.
"Okay Sesshoumaru here is the plan for today. I'm gonna be down stairs with Inuyasha and-" She paused when she heard Sesshoumaru growling. "I know you don't like him, which is why you are going to stay up here in this room the whole time." His growling slowly stopped.
The phone rang.
"Please let that be Inuyasha so he can say that he can't come over. Just please." Kagome prayed.
"Sis! It's Sango!" Souta cried from down stairs.
"It's about time she called." Kagome finished up brushing her hair and placed the brush (SG- More like threw) on her bed. Thenran down stairs.
Kagome grabbed the phone from Souta. "Why haven't you called sooner!"
"I'm sorry Kagome, I thought you would have to focus on Sesshoumaru and not need any interruptions."
"Well, it would be nice to have some help once in a while."
"Look, I said I'm sorry."
"I know. It's just that having to keep Sesshoumaru a secret is hard work. Yesterday my brother got hurt and Buyou almost got killed."
"Wow. Well, how about I come over today and help out?"
At that moment Kagome got an idea. If Sango could stay with Sesshoumaru and make sure no one goes in her room, then she could stay with Inuyasha and work on the project in peace.
"Ok Sango. I'm really gonna need your help today. You are gonna have to stay with Sesshoumaru upstairs while I stay downstairs with Inuyasha. Thanks Sango, you're the best. Bye."
Kagome quickly hung up and ran back upstairs.
"Uh, she said what now?" Sango hung up slowly then said, "I guess I have no choice but to go."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Meanwhile, as usual, Sesshoumaru was in the room thinking more on his past. That memory that he has been so hard trying to get rid of, kept coming back. He can still hear her voice .That soft gentle voice. Oh how it soothed Sesshoumaru when Inutaisho and her divorced. Although he did know that it would happen eventually. They fought every single day. Even if it was a small thing, they would fight.
"I swear father, one day you will regret taking the life of the one that I love. I will never let you get away with killing my mother without suffering major consequences."
Kagome opened the door and saw that he was tensed up with fists tightly clenched.
"Uh, Sesshoumaru are you okay? "
He turned to her and said nothing. She stared at him and shook it off. She went to her desk and grabbed her part of the project. She examined the paper and looked for any mistakes.
"All seems to be good. Now for the display" She went to the closet and took out a shoe box with paper dolphins hanging on a piece of string, with a background printed from the computer showing the sea with the sky above it.
"Nice. Very nice." She went to the door and turned around. "Sesshoumaru, Sango is gonna be coming and make sure that no one comes into the room. So please be nice, or just be silent like you always are. That's easier."
He just looked away from her and went to look out the window. She merely sighed and went out the door shutting it behind her. As she went down stairs she went to the living room and sat on the couch waiting for her friends to come.
"Poor Sesshoumaru. Tomorrow is Monday and we have to go to school. I wonder how he will act when we get there. Wait. What am I saying? He is always quiet and never around anyone, so nothing should be too different. But that's another sad thing about him. He has no friends." She was felt sad for him. Everyone at school, have friends. He never talks to anyone or does anything else but either read or stare out into space.
A knock was heard on the door. She quickly got up and opened it.
There she was. Sango and-
"Miroku? Sango, why is Miroku here?" Kagome didn't expect Miroku to be coming.
Sango was wearing a pink shirt with a picture of a two-tailed on it with green capris. (SG- When I say capris I mean those type of pants that are cut below your knees.)Her dark brown hair was in pig tails with purple ribbons tied at the top. Miroku wore a purple shirt with blue jeans on. He also had prayer beads around his right arm and the usual ponytail.
"Oh. Um. Well, I don't want to be alone with Sesshoumaru. He might kill me. So just so I know if he is gonna eat anyone, Miroku is gonna be first." Sango smiled innocently then looked at Miroku. He was standing there shaking with fear and eyes wide open.
"Well, looks like you two have everything under control." He took a step back and was about to take off running. "Later."
Sango grabbed his shirt collar "Oh no you don't. You're staying with me and the beast."
"Sango. Miroku. There is nothing to be afraid of. I slept with him and he could have killed me when I was a sleep."
Sango and Miroku were about to burst out laughing, but they tried to hold it in. But that didn't work. They were laughing so hard, tears came out of their eyes. Kagome just stared at them with confusion written all over her face.
"What's so funny?"
"Y-Y-You said you" Miroku couldn't finish his sentence without laughing. Sango couldn't even say a word.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY!" Kagome was getting pissed at them. She thought about what she just said and her eyes widened.
"EW! You guys have the most disgusting minds in the world!" Her face was red from blushing and anger."I can't believe ya'll would think such a thing. I didn't mean sleep with him sleep with him! I could expect Miroku with that thinking that, but you Sango! Unbelievable!"
They finally started to calm down a little.
"I'm sorry Kagome, but it was just SO funny" Sango still had a smile on her face looking like she was about to laugh again.
"Oh. Kagome, you didn't tell me Sango and Miroku were coming, too." Mrs. Higurashi walked towards them at the door.
"Oh, well, they are here so we will be going to my room." She turned to the stairs. "Come on, guys"
They were still giggling. "O-O-Okay," they both said, and followed her to her room.
Kagome turned the knob on the door and went in with Miroku and Sango behind her. Sesshoumaru was at his usual spot by the window. He turned to the guests.
"Ok Sesshoumaru. Like I said, be nice." She went to her desk and gathered all of her project materials and went out the door downstairs.
Miroku and Sango were standing still just looking at him with Sango behind Miroku. Sesshoumaru just stared at them back as if they were crazy. He rolled his eyes and continued to look out the window.
"I guess this will be easy. We can probably just play cards while we wait till they are finished." Sango went over to Kagome's desk and opened the drawer a found the set of cards. They sat on the bad playing Go Fish.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Back down stairs, Kagome sat at the kitchen table where Inuyasha and she will work on the project. She was eating some ramen since she hadn't had her breakfast yet as she waited for him.
"Inuyasha. You do realize that I like you, right? Probably not. Kikyo is like the wall between us. At least she was sick when we were choosing partners." Kagome began to laugh a little. She remembered when Kikyo found out that she was partnered with Naraku. He was the most hated person in school, mostly because he was a bully. And the best part is that everyone in the school knew that he liked Kikyo.
A knock was heard on the door.
"Ok Kagome. Just work on the project, finish it up, then he will leave." She sighed as she walked to the door. She opened the door. Inuyasha was wearing his red t-shirt with a white dog howling and black jeans with flames at the edge.
His face was looking down at the floor. "Hi Kagome…"
She put on a warm smile. "Hi Inuyasha. I've got everything on my half of the project. How about you?" "Why isn't he looking at me?"
He held out his arms and showed his half of the project. "My mother helped me with some of it, but it is still not finished."
They went to the kitchen and began to glue, cut, write and make sure everything was perfect. And Inuyasha never once looked at Kagome. (SG- Hmmmmm. Makes ya think doesn't it?)
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"Got any 3s?" Miroku asked looking at his 3 card.
"Go fish," Sango sighed. "Again"
As Kagome and Inuyasha worked on their project, Miroku and Sango have been sitting on the bed playing Go Fish. So far Sango has won 6 games in a row while Miroku won squat.
He picked the last card left and looked at Sango.
"Are you sure you're not cheating or anything?"
She sighed again. "Of course not, how can I when you're all the way on that side of the bed"
Miroku just groaned and waited for Sango to pick a card.
"Ok, do you have any… 5s?"
"DARN IT!" He tossed the card at her as she grabbed it smiling proudly.
"Well, that's all the cards I have. Let's count our pairs. Let's see. Ichi, ni, san, yon, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, and juu. How many do you have Miroku?"
He mumbled something she could not make out. Instead, she looked at his pairs. She laughed.
"Only 2." She laughed some more.
He blushed.
"I'm tired of this stupid game."
"Just because you can't win doesn't mean it's stupid." She laughed some more.
Miroku just rolled his eyes and looked at Sesshoumaru who was staring out the window. Sango followed his gaze and looked at him too. Sesshoumaru felt eyes on him and looked at them back with a cocked eye brow. They immediately looked away. He merely sighed and looked away back towards the window. Oh how he wished to be free, away from the humans that keep him captive. But most of all, train. He will do whatever it takes to avenge his mother's death. A growl escaped his lips at the memory he tried so hard to forget. Sango and Miroku jumped off the bed and backed away. They stayed as far away as possible from him.
But what troubled him was, we didn't he leave already. His legs is healed and has no reason to stay. Then, his plan he made soon after he arrived at the human's house.. If he were to leave the human's place, which he despises humans, his father would have found him. Inutaisho knows that he hates humans no matter what, and he would never DARE go to one for help. If he were to keep it low, he wouldn't get killed and have more of a chance to train.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"Inuyasha! I thought you said you checked over everything. No. Your mother checked over everything" Kagome shouted in disbelief as she stood from her chair.
"Ok,I told you I onlyshowed her some of it.I thought the rest was ok!" He shouted as he covered his little doggy ears. "I'm sorry Kikyo"
Her eyes widened. "Did he just call me Kikyo? No, he couldn't call me Kikyo! Even if we look like separated twins, he can never mix me up with her!" Her fists were tightened but then soon loosened. "But he did..." She sat back down and looked at the floor, refusing to look at him.
Inuyasha uncovered his ears sensing that she has stopped yelling. Hefinnaly looked at her and wondered why she looked so sad, and angry. Did he say something that upset her? He thought back at what he said and after a few seconds, he realized what he did wrong.
He rubbed the back of his head, "Uh, sorry about that. It's hard not to mix you both up." She clenched her fists again. He noticed. "I mean I just saw her when I came over here so I was used to talking to her."
She gasped silently. "That explains it! He just saw Kikyo, and every time that happens he never looks at me. And he doesnt look at me because he always calls me her. And all he knows is that I get mad at him for it. But he doesnt know why..."
She rose from her chair not removing her eyes from the floor and talked a little more than a whisper, "Inuyasha, just leave. I'll finish the project on my own."
"Kagome…" He stood up and was about to grab her hand when she backed away from him and looked at him with red teary eyes.
"Just leave!" she shouted.
He backed away and glared at her, "What's your problem! I said I was sorry!"
She turned away from him and began toran back upstairs. He followed up to the first step when he froze. He sniffed the air and looked around. "This scent."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Sesshoumaru was watching the free clouds move along in the sky when he felt a close presence lingering. He sniffed and growled. Sango again tried to back away with Sango in Miroku's arms. And when Sango's cheek was so close to him (SG- You know Miroku.), he couldn't help but to kiss it. It all ended up with an evil glared staring at him and big red mark on his face. (SG- And just so you know, if you forgotten, they are just kids so no butt grabbing.)
She was half way up when she heard a low growl from Inuyasha. She gasped. "Oh no!I forgot all about Sesshoumaru." She turned and realized she was mad at him. "Inuyasha! I said leave! This is my house and I demand you to leave!" He just continued sniffing with a growl inside him, when he caught that it went upstairs.
"Kagome, who is up there?" Inuyasha said, slightly running up the stairs.
She began to look around when she remember the words of the church priestess, Keade.
vVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvV
'If Inuyasha starts to become out of control, use this rosary at any command you wish to say. The word of subjugation.' Keade handed her the necklace. Kagome had a confused look on her face.
'What does subjugation mean, Keade-sama?'
'It means to put control on another. Like I said before, to control Inuyasha.'
Kagome smiled. 'I have just the word.'
vVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvVvV
"Inuyasha! SIT!"
In a matter of seconds, Inuyasha met the ground with a boom.
Mrs. Higurashi came running into the scene with a worried looked. "Kagome what's going on?"
She looked up to her mom and smiled. "Nothing, but do you think you can take Inuyasha home, he looks tired." Her mother looked at Inuyasha lying on the floor and believed what Kagome said.
She picked him up and went out the front door to the car.
Once they left, Kagome fell to her knees and covered her face in her hands as she cried. "It's obvious, Inuyasha doesn't like me the same way I like him. It's Kikyo who holds his heart, not me."
Sango and Miroku came out of the room and saw Kagome sitting on the top step crying into her hands. Sango sat next to her and held her with Kagome's head on her shoulder and Sango's head on Kagome's head. She heard everything clearly. Miroku didn't pay attention since he only pays attention to Sango.
"It's ok Kagome; Inuyasha still doesn't know your feelings for him." Sango said, trying to give her the best comfort.
"But why not? ... He knows ….. Kikyo likes …. him …" It was difficult to understand between her sobs but Sango understood. She was like a sister to her.
"Yes. That's because she told him. Inuyasha is one to believe what he hears. And since every time everyone said that you liked him, you said ya'll were just friends. So, Inuyasha thought of you as just a friend." Sango's words sunk into Kagome. She realized that Sango was right. If Inuyasha were to ever know, she must tell him.
Kagome lifted her face and looked and Sango with a smile. "Thank you, Sango. You are the sister I have always wanted." And with that said she hugged her.
They both rose and turned to find 1. Miroku staring and Sango with I-Love-You written all over his face and 2. Sesshoumaru was watching everything.
Kagome walked past him and before she entered her room she said without looking at them, "Sango. Miroku. You can leave now. I'll see ya'll at school tomorrow." Then walked inside her room. Sesshoumaru followed not knowing where else he can go without anyone else knowing he was there.
Sango and Miroku just stared for a while and walked down stairs and went out the door.
"I have a feeling school isn't going to be a pleasant day tomorrow." Sango spoke without looking away from the ground.
"Yes. Unfortunately Inuyasha and Kagome sit next to one another and they are partners for the project." Miroku said looking on ahead.
Sango nodded. "I wish Inuyasha had a clue."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Back in the room, Kagome was lying on her bed with her face in her pillow crying tears of sorrow and anger. "What's the point of having feelings for Inuyasha when I know that he loves Kikyo?" She sighed and turned to her side. Sesshoumaru was sitting on her chair reading a book.
"Where did you get that book, Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked wiping away her tears. He didn't answer. He just turned a page and continued. Kagome sighed and right before she was going to look away he pointed to something. She followed were he pointed and it lead to his suitcase.
"Oh."
She rose from her bed and looked out her window. It was evening and sun almost set completely. Kagome went to her drawer and took out her pajamas and went to the restroom to change.
Once she was all changed she looked at herself in the mirror. An image of Kikyo was shown and she shook her head and saw herself again. She turned the faucet on and washed her face.
She went down stairs to finish up everything for her project. "I don't think I can do the presentation with him. Not after today." She did the fishing touches and took it with her upstairs. She didn't have dinner, but she didnt feel to hungry.
When she came in the room she found Sesshoumaru taking off the bandage strip. When she looked at his leg all that was left was a scar. He tossed the bandage aside and looked out the window. "I cannot wait till the day comes whenIcan train."
She set down her project on her desk and left the room. As she came back with the blankets, she felt like a slave. She laid them on the floor and went to turn off the light. Then, she went to her bed and covered herself with the blankets.
A knock was heard on the door. Kagome sat up and froze.
"Kagome, do you want dinner?" She heard her mother say.
"No mom, I'm going to bed." She replied, hoping her mother wouldn't come in.
"Ok, honey. Oyasumi, Kagome." And her mother's footsteps faded away.
Kagome sighed with relief and laid back down. She stared up at the ceiling and thought about all that happened today. She finished the project, Inuyasha called her Kikyo, now she is mad at him, and Sesshoumaru was watching everything.
She looked at Sesshoumaru and he was sitting up and looking out the window "Why does he always look out there? Could it be he wants to leave? But if he did he would have left already. So many questions that won't be solved unless he talks to me." Kagome turned away from him. "Maybe Sango is right. Maybe I should tell Inuyasha how I feel about him. He needs to know or he will never choose me. I wish Kikyo did die in that accident." She felt bad about saying that but it was the truth. Her eyes became heavy and she was soon drifted off to her dreams.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Inutaisho was working at his desk finishing up some papers that needed to be done. "Sesshoumaru, it shouldn't be to hard to find you. How far can an 8 year old boy go? He stood from his desk and walked out of his study. On his way to his room he saw Inuyasha walking back to his room as well.
"Oyasumi, Inuyasha" he said with a smile.
Inuyasha turned around and had a serious look on his face.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Inutaisho asked walking over to him.
"Father, I need to tell you something."
696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696
Ok, I hope that was long enough to please ya'll. PlusI have good news, since school is over, I will get to update sooner and quicker. Just as long as I don't get writer's block. So pray for me that I won't. So, today has been rough for Kagome. Inuyasha has called her the person she hates most. Kikyo. Now she has decided she will tell him how she really feels for him. Will she come through? Or will Inuyasha just make it worst? And why was Sesshoumaru so curious at what was going on? So many more questions that will eventually soon be answered. So look out for Chapter 5, School Chaos.
P.S. To know how I am doing on this story, look at my profile now and then. I write down if I am almost done or might be getting delayed or have writer's block. Plus, some sneak peak summaries of up coming stories if ya'll like them. Like it says, just message me if ya'll like them.
