The Miko's Taiyoukai chapter 2
After a short distance of running Sesshoumaru could smell his revolting brother's scent. He leapt through the trees faster than usual. Of course this was because of the young girl who now sat on his back her chest pushing against him. Her pink t-shirt was so thin that he began to notice that she had something on under that didn't exactly feel like flesh……
"You can stop here" the miko said sadly.
Sesshoumaru slowed to a stop just in front of a camp that contained a fire, a mysterious looking thing that stood like a small house and a large yellow bag.
"WAI! its been SOO long since I saw you! Oh my dear bag!" Kagome squeaked. Only after a few moments of love for her bag did she notice that Sesshoumaru was still standing behind her, now, with a puzzled look on his face. She quickly stood and shook off her new found bag. She had intended to say thank you to him but before she could he retreated back to the forest. Somehow, she felt sad and alone now, but she had no idea why. This feeling of sadness was quickly replaced when she heard Sango yelling her name.
"Kagome!!" Sango yelled.
"Sango! Oh my gosh Sango! I missed you so much!"
Sango squeezed Kagome tightly as Kagome noticed that she was crying.
"I thought that you might have died! You've been gone for two days already!"
Kagome smiled and held Sango just as tight "its okay, im back now, and see, im unharmed! Though, I do need to change, and bathe. Ya' know I even fell in a river!"
Sango let go of Kagome as she exchanged hugs with Shippo and Miroku. Now, the only one left to speak to Kagome as Inuyasha. But instead of using words he used his hand, and gave her a sharp slap on the face. She stood hanging her head as Inuyasha gave her an earful. Her face was stinging, but her heart hurt more. How did I ever love him? How did I manage to think that he had a kind heart? I guess, this is his true nature the miko thought.
Inuyasha noticed that she wasn't listening and gave her push because of his irritation. Though, it was hard enough to push her into the tent that stood behind her. She crashed into the tent and was lost in a large blue mess.
"Kagome!" Sango and Shippo cried.
Kagome sat up clutching her side, the spot in which was scratched by the metal of the tent.
"Haha, just a little fall, that's all" the miko said dropping her hand, revealing a large blood stain on her thin pink shirt. Miroku, Sango and Shippo stood and stared in surprise. The miko looked back with the same look until she noticed that she was bleeding. But, it wasn't the tent that had caused the wound, it was her older wound that had opened and was now bleeding. She felt a little woozy.
"Guys, its okay, you don't have to look at me like that! Its... it's uhh, just a little... little scratch is all—"

Sesshoumaru sat, fuming with anger, in the bushes. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT IDIOT DOING?! Slapping a girl? Hah! How does he even consider himself a man? And hitting his MATE--
"no, im not his mate"
Sesshoumaru remembered the Miko's sad words that night. But still, he could not forgive his brother for slapping her, though, he didn't know why. Really, he didn't know why he was sitting in the bushes watching the girl. Neither did he know why he cared so much. Suddenly, Kagome was pushed into the mysterious looking house by Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru stood and almost ran to assist the girl when he remembered where he was and sat back down. The demon slayer, the fox demon and the monk all ran to the girl's side in order to aid her. He could see her again. But not for long as soon her eyes rolled back in their sockets and she fell backwards. Sesshoumaru realized that if he were to stay, he would stop thinking and go to help her. So, he began his walk back to Rin and Jaken.

Kagome could have sworn that she saw someone moving in the bushes while Sango bandaged her side. Miroku was sitting around the fire along with Shippo. Inuyasha had stormed off into the village, obviously going to kikyo. Kagome sighed and looked at Sango, who was finishing up the bandaging.
"Sango… im sorry." Kagome said sadly.
Sango looked a bit ruffled. "No, don't apologize. It's bad enough that you have to deal with Inuyasha, I had to deal with him for two days and already I've slapped him and threatened him too!" Sango let a thin smile spread across her face.
"He deserved it though." Miroku said smiling at Sango.
"What could have changed him so much?" Sango questioned quietly
"I believe that it may have been kikyo, I mean, he is always around her, and she isn't exactly a teddy bear."
Sango laughed with Miroku. Kagome sat as they chatted but her expression did not change, even when Sango applied the antiseptic. She couldn't help but feel lonely. She had lost the one that she had loved so much, that she had tried so hard for. But she couldn't, nor did she want to, cry. Why? Why should she cry for him? It was all just a joke for him. She wondered if he even loved her in the first place. She knew that he didn't love her enough because no matter what she did, he always chose kikyo first. She had told herself that if he loved kikyo more, it was okay, but she had always resented it. She hadn't gotten over him that day. But now she had. Before, the words 'Inuyasha loved kikyo' gave her the feeling of a sharp object ramming through her heart, now, she felt nothing. She snapped back to reality as she noticed that Sango and Miroku were looking at her. Shippo had fallen asleep. She felt tired, even though she had slept a lot through the last two days.
The miko stood, causing Sango and Miroku to jump.
"Im going back to my time for now" Kagome continued while grabbing her bag "please, don't worry, I just feel like seeing my family….. Goodbye" And with that, she walked away from the camp, and towards the well.

To days had gone by since Kagome last spoke to anyone. Her mother began to worry about the tired looking girl, who quietly opened the fridge, and grabbed some milk. Kagome sat down at the table and her mother joined her.
"Are you alright Kagome? Troubles with Inuyasha?" her mother asked, while softly placing a hand on Kagome's arm. Kagome noticed the troubled look in her mother's eye. The true look of concern.
"Well, mom, the person I used to love has changed a lot, and I know I don't love him anymore, but I still think about it. How can I make myself stop thinking about it?"
"Well, are you sure that you are over him? Maybe, there are some lingering feelings that are deep down?"
"Maybe. But, how do I get rid of those?"
"You know what, I say that you should dress your self up really nice, makeup and all, and go up to inuya—ahhh, this person and say 'Person, I do not love you anymore' then maybe, you will feel a but better!"
The light in Kagome's eyes flickered as she stood up.
"Your right mom! Im going to go her dressed, then, im going back to the feudal era!"
Kagome raced to the bathroom to turn on her curling iron. Then she jumped into her closet to pick something out. She chose a backless, black top that connected on the back of her neck. It was made of silk and shimmered even in the dark of her closet. She picked out some black jeans and black heels. She handed the clothing to her mother who knew to iron them. She then put on dark eye shadow and eye liner. She knew she didn't need mascara because she already had long lashes. Kagome picked up the curling iron and began curling her hair. Once she finished she pulled it back in a ponytail, letting the curls fall behind, also leaving a small, curly bang in front. She returned to her mother who had by now finished ironing her clothes. The miko jumped into the clothing and looked in the mirror. She did look very nice; you could have never thought that she had been crying for the past month!
"Thanks mom" Kagome said kindly to her mother who smiled back.
The miko filled her backpack with clothing, toys and candy for Shippo, her portable grill, and her laptop. She had never brought that before, so she decided why not? What could happen? Kagome grabbed her backpack and opened the shrine door to the well. Here goes nothing she thought as she jumped down the old well.
Upon her arrival to the camp, Kagome noticed that for once, everyone was there; Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and even Inuyasha. What she didn't notice right away was that kikyo was sitting beside Inuyasha. She hesitated. NO! Kagome you are stronger than that! Don't let that bitch get you down! Yeah! That's right you swear at her! Way to go! You can do it! Kagome straightened herself out and walked towards the camp. Miroku turned and was stunned. He couldn't even say her name, for the beauty that she was emitting was so awesome, even the lecherous monk couldn't speak. Soon everyone was looking at her as she dropped her bag and stomped over to Inuyasha. She had planned and rehearsed in her head, so she knew hat to do.
"Inuyasha. I do not love you anymore" she continued as the hanyou stood. "You have caused me a great deal of pain emotionally, and physically. I will stay with you until the jewel shards have been collected, then, I want nothing to do with you." Inuyasha seemed surprised at the words coming out of her mouth. All she could do was smile, she still had one more thing to her him back for.
"As I said, you caused me a lot of physical pain, so not I would like to get my revenge if you don't mind." Inuyasha looked baffled as she slapped him on the face. But before he could hit her back she let out the final blow
"OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI. OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI!!" Kagome breathed heavily andwatched the red lump on the ground move. After a few moments, it registered in her mind to run. But first she kicked off her heels and threw them at Inuyasha.
As she was running, she could see Inuyasha in the corner of her eye standing up again, then falling down.
"Ass" she said under her breath.
She had run for almost fifteen minutes and her backpack felt heavier with every step. She decided to rest beside a stream. But only just before she plopped down, did she notice the figure on the other side of the stream…..
--
Sesshoumaru had finished cleaning the fish for Rin when he noticed something on the other side of the stream. THE MIKO! He thought frantically. Wait, he was the great and awesome Sesshoumaru, whose name instilled fear in all humans, why was he afraid of a small miko? HAH! He thought, that's because im NOT afraid... she's just…..a very strong miko! That's it! And she has…. Great purifying powers! Yes! AND if I were to be purified…. Nobody would take care of Rin! And….. She would die! Aha!! That's why! But still, how could I possibly even think of fear? That not it. Sesshoumaru looked at the miko once more. Her hair was curled, yet slightly ruffled, her clothes were wrinkled and shaken. Her makeup was still intact, yet slightly running. Still, she looked amazing. like a shining star in the dark night light. Sesshoumaru also noticed the excessive amount of cleavage that the miko was showing. Perhaps that was……
"Sesshoumaru!" the miko yelled happily. Sesshoumaru noticed that she had stood while he was thinking. He also remembered that he was holding three humongous fish. The miko trudged through the water all the way over to Sesshoumaru. This time, she was carrying the yellow bag.
"Hi Sesshoumaru! Umm, I was wondering…" Sesshoumaru lost himself in looking at her, her face, her clothing, then at her cleavage. Of course, he was the amazing Sesshoumaru, and resisted the want to change his expression, though, it was difficult, he managed to keep a straight face while watching her. She spoke the whole time about something he wasn't paying attention to until she asked a question.
"Would it be possible for me to stay with you guys for a little while?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru was so tongue tied that all he did was turn and walk towards his cave, where Rin and Jaken waited. What am I doing? Why was I even looking at that miko in such a way? Though, she is very attractive….. NO! She's not, not at all no no no no no no no no! Sesshoumaru wondered what he was becoming, when he noticed that Kagome was quietly following behind. I hate humans he thought to himself. Especially this miko!
Kagome walked behind Sesshoumaru as he seemed quite distracted.
"must be about Rin" she said quietly to herself. Though, he was very handsome, visibly more than Inuyasha, so she got flustered quite easily. Hmph, its still the same Sesshoumaru that tried to kill me, he probably hates me too! Though, she had no idea why she cared. I kind of get the feeling that these next few days might be a little……. Difficult!
