The Miko's Taiyoukai
It had been just under a week since the miko had first come to stay with Jaken, Rin and Sesshoumaru. She knew that soon she would have to return to her own time, but she feared that Inuyasha would be there waiting for her. Well, she did sit him half to death. AND throw her heels at him. But even so, she didnt want to see him. Ever since that night when she cried on Sesshoumaru she hadnt felt anything towards him. Even now as she thought of him with Kikyo, she no longer felt the sting in her heart.
Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru, who was looking at something Rin was showing him. It was one of Shippo's toys that kagome had given her to play with. Over this week, Kagome had figured out that once you get to know him a bit, he's not all that bad. Although he was still cold towards her, she could feel some small sliver of warmth coming from him. she decided that she could safely call him a friend. Deep down she didn't realize that she wanted to be more than just friends, but for now, she ignored those thoughts. Kagome quickly finnished packing her things and walked over to Sesshoumaru and Rin.
"Are you leaving already?" Rin asked sadly.
"Yes, but i promise that ill come and visit soon, okay?" Kagome comprimised. Rin nodded and handed kagome the toy.
"You can keep that, think of it as a present from me to you!" The miko replied as the small girl embraced her. She returned the favour, but soon stood and looked at Sesshoumaru, who bent down so that she could climb onto his back. Not more than 10 seconds after she was securely on his back, did he begin running towards the forest

Rin turned to Jaken and smiled.
"I think that other than me, Kagome is the only human that Sesshoumaru Sama has ever talked to!" Rin exclamed, sitting beside the small youkai.
"No, you stupid girl! Lord Sesshoumaru has obviously spoken to humans before!"
"Just, never that kindly, right?"
"Right."
"Jaken... do you think that Sesshoumaru sama has a crush on Kagome? Because i do."
"Lord sesshoumaru doesnt get crutches. He is a powerful taiyoukai! He could never love a miko! Miko's are humans , and he hates humans!"
"I think your wrong jaken. He looks at her diffrently than he looks at me or you! And he even lets her travel with him! I dont think that he would do all of that if he didnt like her! Oh, and its called a crush not a crutch!" Rin exclaimed while running from Jaken to her toy.
Jaken could never admit that he agreed with Rin, but her words were making sence. Lord Sesshoumaru! Are you truly in love with a human miko?

It was too soon that they arrived at the well and Kagome realized that Inuyasha was waiting there for her, this time, with kikyo. She could see the bandages on his face from when she sat him. Serves him right! She thought. Once sesshoumaru slowed to a stop Kagome jumped off. She looked up at him with her big blue eyes and smiled.
"Thank you, for helping me this week. And umm, thanks for helping me out that night. I really appreciated it!" The miko smiled genuinely before walking towards the well. She stopped though, before coming into inuyasha's view, and turned to sesshoumaru. The smile that had covered her face had faded, and all that was left was a deep frown, and sad eyes.
"Please, don't stay. I don't want my new friend see me get beat up! Haha!" she smiled once again, this one, much thinner than the last. Sesshoumaru turned to leave as the miko watched. So, im considered a friend huh? She smiled at the thought. But soon straightened her face as she walked into clear view. Shippo saw the small figure walking from the trees and immediately recognized the scent.
"Kagome!!" he yelled, running towards her.
Before Kagome could reply, she was crowded by the three people. Shippo in her arms, and Miroku and Sango on each side. Inuyasha and Kikyo made their way up to her as Kagome expected him to go into a fit of yelling.
"you were with him while you were gone, weren't you?" Inuyasha growled. Kagome was thrown back by this question but tried not to show it.
"Yes. I was" she replied with a straight face.
"What? With who?" Shippo asked.
"Who do you think? One of our enemies! Sesshoumaru, that's who. Keh, the little tramp can't have me so she moves in on my brother. Lemme guess, you slept with him right? You must have, being with him for that long. That cold, lonely bastard! He eats out of a little girl's hand! Hah, i bet that he's a petifile!"
"Stop." kagome yelled, tears running from her eyes. "Say whatever. SAY WHATEVER YOU WAN'T ABOUT ME, BUT DONT YOU DARE BADMOUTH SESSHOUMARU!!"
Inuyasha laughed at the crying girl in front of him. But Kagome didnt see what was soo funny.
"You ass, don't act as if you know everything! When you really know NOTHING!" She screamed.
Inuyasha flashed his claws at Kagome. "You know, I can kill you right now if I wanted to!"
" Oh yeah?" she challenged. "Just try!"
Inuyasha moved towards the girl as her mouth opened.
'OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI!!" she screamed. The hanyou was now soo stuck in the ground that all that you could see was his bottom half. Now, knowing that he wasnt going to get out of this one very easily, she yelled very close to the ground and very loudly, just so that he could hear her.
"IT SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR TRYING TO HURT ME!! GOODBYE NOW! ILL SEE YA' IN 3 DAYS, ASSHOLE!!"

Sesshoumaru walked back to his camp when he began to think.. What the hell was that? I let some miko tell this Sesshoumaru what to do? And carrying her? What the hell is that? She thinks im her "friend" well screw that! I've been too kind to this miko, she isnt even worth it . Humph, why do i act so kindly to her anyway? It's not like me... WAIT! I know what to do to get her to stop attaching to me...

Kagome sat in the bathtub thinking about the past week. She used to think that Sesshoumaru was a terrible, heartless person, but now after seeing how he treated Rin, she wondered. Also, the fact that he hadn't killed her yet was also a question. She started to think about his features: long silver hair, broad shoulders, strong arms, long legs, all together a very masculine and handsome man. His face was amazing, he probably had the best looking face that she had ever seen. The miko had strayed onto the topic of his looks in her mind pleanty of times. Whenever she thought of him she felt calmer, though, she knew he still hated her and was only nice to her because of Rin. Kagome pulled her self out of the bathtub and wrapped a towel around her dripping body. She dried off and put on her pajamas.
Kagome walked down the stairs and found her mother in the kitchen peeling a banana.
"Wheres Sota?" Kagome asked.
"Grandpa took him out to go to see a movie." The woman replied.
"Mom... can i ask you something?" Kagome's mother turned, now peeling an apple. "Well, uhh... how umm, do you know if... you like someone? I mean, I know I liked Inuyasha but, it was... a diffrent feeling... I dont even know if I like him or if im just crazy... but still.. its kind of... I dont know how to describe it."
"Who is this person?"
"Uhhh, lets call him... person."
"... Person it is then. Well, when you think of person, how do you feel?"
"Kind of... calmer. Almost, happier."
"Hmm, do you like to be around person?"
"Yeah.."
"Does person like you?"
"hah! Like sessho-- I mean, person could ever like me!"
"Describe... person"
"Well," Kagome began. "He has silky silver hair, strong, broad shoulders, long, masculine legs, really nice abbs, and his eyes! His eyes are golden like the sun, but still more beautyfull than the moon!" He has a seemingly perfect face, and the warmest hands I have ever felt! all in all, he is a very handsome man!" Kagome looked at her mother who was now wearing a large grin.
"Kagome, I dont think that you like this person. I think that you LOVE him." she said happily. "Somehow, I doubt that this 'person' is inuyasha!"
Kagome stood stunned at her mother's thoughts. No way. No way! I have only JUST gotten over inuyasha, and now I love his brother!? if I were still in school I would be labled 'tramp' for my entire life! Haha, that's just what Inu-ass-a said! Ahaha! Inu-ass-a... Ugh, Kagome, stay on topic!! Oh my god, am I really in love with Sesshoumaru? No way, my mom must be insane! Thats it! Yeah, shes just wrong!... i think..

Sango layed under the stars in Miroku's arms. That was definately her favourite place to be. Since they had defeated Naraku, Miroku's wind tunnel had dissapeared, so they decided to get married. Of course, they planned to have children, but not until Kagome is able to complete the Shikon Jewel. They had also decided that they would take Shippo with them. Really, they could leave whenever they wanted to, but they stayed for Kagome. The words that Kagome and Inuyasha had exchanged earlier were on her mind. "You were with him weren't you?" Inuyasha had asked. Yes I was. The miko had replied."Who do you think? One of our enemies! Sesshoumaru, that's who!" Sango had relayed these words earlier, but still couldn't believe them.
Shippo looked at Miroku and Sango.
"Why was Kagome with Sesshoumaru?" The fox demon asked.
"I don't know Shippo." Sango replied.
"I think that the more important question is, why did Sesshoumaru allow her to stay with him?" Miroku said, breaking the thick silence that had quicky grown.
Sango craned her neck up so that she could look at the monk. "Thats true. Usually, he would kill her in order to get revenge with Inuyasha. Although, Rin does like Kagome, so she could have asked Sesshoumaru not to kill her."
"Yes, and he does seem very attached to that girl." Miroku agreed.
"Do you think... that maybe, Kagome... likes him?" Shippo asked.
"Hmm, that may be a factor.. but, I guess that we will just have to wait and see."

Kagome sat on the couch watching some comedy show when Sota, Grandpa and some girl walked through the door. Kagome was wearing her silky night gown that she always kept at home. It reached the flor and was pink. Her hair was slightly frazzled, but still acceptable. Of course, she wasn't wearing any makeup. The girl went into the kitchen with grandpa as Sota walked by Kagome. The miko grabbed the young boy's collar and yanked him down.
"WHO THE HELL IS THAT?? she wispered harshly.
"Sis! you look terrible! go clean up and... okay okay, she's my girlfriend!!" he wispered back.
Kagome tightened her grip. "And WHY do i not know her?!"
"Because -- uggahh-- i just asked her todayyaaghh!!" he wispered.
Kagome realized how dis-connected she was with her family. She didn't even know her brother was in love with someone! And who knows, maybe her mother has found someone!
"Uwaaggghhhh-- gahhhgggg!! Sis -- gaghh!-- please, let go--agghhhurgg--!!" he yelled.
Kagome let go as she noticed the large amount of pain that she was inflicting on her brother.
"What's her name?" Kagome asked.
"Kimi, is her name. So go get dressed, she's going to have dinner with us in an hour, were going to a resturant!" Sota said, while walking into the kitchen.
Kagome felt that she wanted to look pretty that night and decided to dress up. She smiled as she stood and ran into her room.
--
Sota stepped into the kitchen as Kimi stood.
"Sota kun? Are you okay? I heard some noises coming from the living room!"
"Uhh.." Sota began. "What noises? I didn't hear any noises!"
"Really? They sounded like someone choking!" Kimi said sounding worried.
" Did they sound like Ugaghhhhh or gahgahgahhhhh?"
"Umm," Kimi stammered, silently questioning his sanity. "The first one?"
"Nope, I didn't hear 'em then! Hmm, maybe you should get your ears fixed! ahaha, let's uhh, go watch t.v.! Yeah... t.v..." Sota said, pushing Kimi out the kitchen door.
"Umm, okay" Kimi replied.
Sota sighed. Nice job escaping the wimpy younger brother senario! Now, all thats left is to make her think that your strong, and masculine!... man. that's going to be hard to pretend..
