The Miko's Taiyoukai
Kagome stepped slowly into the resturant. Everyone was chatting quietly to Kimi and Sota, while she walked silently. It wasn't that she felt self concious, she knew that she was looking good. It was just that it had been a long time since she had gone to such a fancy resturant. The family was seated and handed menus. Kagome stared at the menu with a smile on her face. Yes she thought, I am definately going to enjoy this!
--
The apetisers and the main courses had been served, now all that was left was the desert. Kagome glanced over at the group that was being seated infront of her and immediately noticed the faces. While the other people noticed her aswell. They waved her over and Kagome stood. She excused herself from her table and stepped over to the people who now in turn hugged her.
"Oh Kagome! Its been SOO long! Where have you been all this time? Well, that doesn't matter right now, you look fantastic! Oh, how is your boyfriend Inuyasha? Is he here with you? I don't see him"
"Yeah, that's because we broke up... a while ago..." Kagome smiled.
"Ohh, im soo sorry! I didn't--"
"It's alright, i'm totaly over it! How are you?"
The conversation continued as the party sat and ordered. Kagome ordered from the deserts, having already eaten. The younge adults chatted and joked until Kagome realized that her family had left, and her mother was standing over her.
"Kagome hun, I see that you have found some of your friends, so would you like to stay and then walk home?" Kagome's mother asked kindly.
"Okay mom. Tell Kimi that I think she's sweet."
Kagome's mother nodded and walked out of the resturant. The group continued their chatter and fun. The time ran as Kagome noticed that it was already 2:30 am. She turned to her friends and smiled.
"Well everyone, I had alot of fun tonight, but I think that it's time for me to get going. It was very nice to see you all again!" The girl smiled as her friends embraced her one at a time. One of the boys stood and turned to her.
"Let me walk you home, it's dangerous for a girl to be walking home by herself at this time of night!" He said, smiling sweetly.
Kagome agreed, knowing the dangers that could await her. She grabbed her coat and he grabbed his own. Her friends hooted as they walked out together. She began to notice his true intentions as she watched him get very, very nervous.
--
As Kagome reached the steps to her house she turned to the boy.
"Thank you, for bringing me home." She smiled her brightest smile as he opened his mouth to speak.
"I was wondering... umm, well, maybe we could get together sometime..." Kagome immediately stiffened at the comment. Before, she had Inuyasha to use to shoot people down, now she had nothing. She thought that he was very kind, but she knew that she couldn't stay in the present long enough to date him. Plus, he would almost definately get jealous if he found out about her hanging out with Inuyasha. Kagome decided to use the first thing that came to mind and jump on that.
"Umm... i don't know how to say this but... I already have a boyfriend." Kagome said sadly.
"Really? What's his name?" The boy asked. Yeah Kagome, she thought What's his name??
"His name? His name is... Sesshoumaru!" Kagome spit out the words faster than she understood them. SESSHOUMARU?? she continued to think, SESSHOURARU?? HAH! Yeah right!
"Oh, well, Sesshoumaru is a very lucky guy to be able to have you." Damn straight. Kagome felt like saying. The boy continued sadly, "Well, it seems that my luck is down, haha, so, i'm going to head home. Have a good night."
Kagome waved to the boy as she watched him get smaller and smaller. Poor boy... just couldn't resist the old Higurashi charm...
Inuyasha looked at Kikyo in surprise.
"What?" He questioned.
"I told you. I think that we should spend some time alone. I do not like hanging around those people. They all hate me and want me gone... and of course that is all because of that miko. Yes, especially her. She is the main reason of why I do not wish to be around your... group." The dead miko argued. Inuyasha wasn't enjoying it though.
"Kikyo, wait. Theres only two shards left! Once the jewel is finnished we will have our peace!" The Hanyou argued back, but the miko wasn't comprimising.
"No."
"But, Kagome is never even here!"
"No Inuyasha."
"Kikyo! I don't want you to go though!"
The miko turned and walked towards a village as the Hanyou yelled out to her.
"Kikyo! Wait! Kikyo! Damnit! That stupid wench is ruining everything!" Inuyasha cursed as he slammed his fist into a nearby tree. He walked back angrily, hoping to never see "the stupid wench"'s face ever again.
Kagome stepped out of the well feeling happy and well rested. She couldn't wait to see Shippo, Sango, Miroku, Kirara and hey, she could even tolerate Inuyasha's constant complains in her current mood! As she expected, Shippo jumped onto her and hugged her sweetly.
Kagome looked at Sango and smiled. "Inuyasha isn't here?" she asked. Sango shook her head as they walked back to their camp.
--
Almost a week had gone by since the miko had returned. Sango had fallen asleep in Miroku's arms and Shippo was sleeping nearby. The miko slowly slipped away from the sleeping people and into the woods for a walk. She had been trying to stay awake all night due to the fact that she knew that if she went to sleep, she would dream, if she dreamt, she would dream about someone, if she dreamt about someone, it would be Sesshoumaru, all linking back to the unbelieveable thought of her loving Sesshoumaru. Her mind rejected it, it just didn't want to believe it. But her heart on the other hand, wasn't rejecting it at all. Kagome stopped for the first time in a while and decided not to listen to her mind, but to her heart.But she really didn't need to, she knew the answer. She loved Sesshoumaru. And at that moment, her heart and mind all accepted it.
The miko took a deep breath and felt like screaming, but first, she looked around to see that no one was there. She smiled and yelled,
"I LOVE SESSHOUMARU!" Kagome felt that at that very moment, all of her wories were gone. There were no more thoughts of not loving or loving, she admited it, and she felt great about it! But this greatness was soon stolen from her.
"Is that so?" said a voice from deep in the bushes. Kagome stepped back, she wasn't expecting this. She didn't have her arrows or anything, in other words, she was completely defenceless. Sure, she had her powers or purification, but those could run out easily. The miko could feel the sweat falling down her neck. The voice rattled in the bushes, but soon emerged. It was none other than the hanyou Inuyasha. Damn she thought.
"Hah! You love my brother do you? Well, well, well, it seems this stupid miko doesn't know her place. You, are a HUMAN miko. He, is a taiyoukai. That means, that you two don't match. Keh, and as if he would ever even consider touching a discusting human such as yourself."
Kagome felt like walking away, but instead replied to the hanyou.
"What do you want from me?"
"What do I want? I want to be with Kikyo. I want to live in peace. I want to never see your ugly face ever again. But no, Kikyo left me, because of you, and now you get to go and have my revolting brother, while I sit alone! Well, let's see what we can do about that!"
Before the miko could reply, the Hanyou lept back into the trees and deep into the forest. Kagome stood, still processing the events that had just occured. Damnit! the miko thought damn, damn, damn! God, what is going to happen next?
--
Kagome continued walking until the light from her camp was no longer visible. She walked along a dirt trail for what seemed like hours. What if Inuyasha tells Sesshoumaru that I like him? Oh god! I wonder what Sesshoumaru will think! Oh god! The miko left her thoughts for a moment and realized that there was a very familiar cave up ahead, and a very familiar little girl running towards her.
"Kagome! Welcome back!" The girl yelled.
"Hi Rin! How are you doing?" The miko asked.
"I'm really good! How about you?" Rin replied. Kagome looked around before answering.
"Good... is Sesshoumaru around?"
"Sesshoumaru sama? Oh, yes he is in the cave, I think that he is about to go search for any nearby youkai!"
Kagome held the girls hand as they walked beck to the cave. The small girl ran ahead and into the cave.
"Sesshoumaru sama! Look, it's Kagome! She can accompany you on your rounds!"
Kagome peeked in and waved.
"Hi!" she said sweetly. Sesshoumaru didn't seem to notice, instead he stood and walked out of the cave. Kagome walked out of the cave and after Sesshoumaru.
"Hey... hey! Sesshoumaru!"
The taiyoukai turned and looked her dead in the eye.
"It is Lord Sesshoumaru to you."
Kagome was baffled, but continued to try to find out what was wrong.
"Okay... Lord Sesshoumaru... what's wrong?"
Sesshoumaru turned around and began to walk again. Kagome yelled back to him once again.
"I'll be here with Rin when you come back!" She yelled. The taiyoukai did not turn, or even flinch. The miko ran towards Sesshoumaru and stood infront of him.
"What is wrong with you?" The miko asked.
"You." He replied. Kagome felt her knees loose balance for a moment. Me? She thought. Me? Is he trying to say something that i'm not geting? Wait, is he trying to say that he... hates me? Oh my god, that IS what he's saying! Great job kagome, realize that your in love with someone and then make them hate you! Kagome looked up at the cold man infront of her and stood aside.
"I'm... still going to wait here with Rin for your return." She said quietly.
"Then I wont come back here" he said under his breath before leaping into the air.
Sesshoumaru ran through the trees recaping the last few events. Sure, his words were harsh, but neccessary. He was becoming too attached to the miko, and she to him. He was becoming soft hearted, almost, starting to care about her well being. But her face. Her face was throwing him off. Making him angry. Her face had been soo hurt looking and sad after he had replied to her that he couldn't take it. He felt stupid and almost less of a man. Letting a mere human miko make him so... ruffled. Sesshoumaru was so lost in thought that he hadn't even noticed the hanyou running beside him, until now. Sesshoumaru jumped back and landed in a clearing.
"My oh my! Lost in thought were we? Huh, I never thought that you could get lost in thought, considering your just a mindless killer! Oh and now you have a miko by your side!"
Seshoumaru looked at the hanyou sternly.
"Why so serious? Smile! Come on, I mean, you have a beautyful miko who is deeply in love with you!"
Sesshoumaru was thrown back a bit by these words. What? He thought.
Kagome was playing with Rin when she felt the presence of a youkai. And not just a lowly bird, or rat youkai, this youkai was strong. It was moving, moving very, very fast towards her and Rin. Though, if it were to jump out of the bushes, it would be a few meters to the right, not right at them. Plus, they could easily run into the cave.
Rin looked up at kagome as she accidentaly dropped the ball.
Closer... it's coming closer. The miko thought.
Rin turned to the right and detangled herself from kagome's hold, but Kagome was too deep in thought to notice.
Closer...
Rin ran towards the ball.
Closer...
Rin picked up the ball and called Kagome's name. The miko left her thoughts and noticed that the small girl was in the very spot that the youkai was about to strike.
"RIN! GET OVER HERE NOW!!" Kagome screamed.
The small girl lifted her foot to run, right as the ground began to shake.
"RIN!! HURRY!!" Kagome screamed again. The girl began to shake faster than the ground. It wasn't too long before she realized that she wasn't going anywhere. Kagome panicked on what to do. Minuts felt like seconds. Seconds like mila-seconds. Kagome decided on her plan and ran forward.
Just then, the youkai lept out of the trees.
"RIN!!"
