Back with kagome

Kagome roamed threw her yellow pack taking out her sponge and lavender soap she waited all day for a relaxing dip and to have Sango by her side to listen to her stories of the past two days. Kagome sat on the shallow end of the spring and began to tell of her encounters with sesshomaru his injury's, and there back and forth conversation. Sango was more than shocked with kagomes story and amazed kagome returned UN harmed and in one piece.

As they continued their conversation sesshomaru stood across the spring on the highest branches of a tree, he patiently stood against it listening to kagomes conversations with the slayer. He was more than surprised at how she spoke of him in such high praise as if they were friends but he continued to listen. Kagome did her best to tell of the events making sure to leave out the incident of the hot spring and her peeping tom moment. Kagome felt relieved to be back with the gang and chatting with Sango but she had to admit she missed sitting and talking with sesshomaru great warrior with a killer complex but he actually listened to what she had to say. The sun began to set and Sango finished listening to kagome and bathe but she needed to head back and keep miroku away from the spring kagome wanted more time to relax and with her adventures of the past few days Sango understood. Sango gave a last look at kagome and walked back into camp.

Kagome was in a piece state the crickets could be heard all around, the sound of the spring flowing through the rocks and the smell of wild flowers she felt calm. As her piece flowed through her it went just as fast she heard the cracks of branches nearby and went into full alert mode. kagome had no chance to get her bow in the state she was in she waded into the deeper side of the spring and waited. Sesshomaru casually walked into view of kagome making no try to mask or hide his presence. He couldn't hold back the mental smirk as he saw kagome trying her best to hide herself best she could. No words were said as he walked closer towards her and passed her to a tree by and sat down against it.

Kagome was in such a relaxed state and in minutes turned into a state of shock out of know where he had leaped out of the branches to the group a few feet from her. Out of everyone she could think of she never expected him to appear before her. She tried to play it calm and crept closer making sure not to show anything. She wasn't sure what to say but before she spoke she was cut off by his cool calm voice "So miko alone again"

Kagomes spoke faintly "there all back at camp I wanted time alone to relax" kagome finished her answer then it hit her "shouldn't I be asking why are you in the south" he gave her a smirk and reply with the most basic answers "hunting"

Kagome was in a bad position in the spring but she had to admit she was relieved he appeared as much she didn't want to admit she was it was him before her instead of koga or any random strangers. She thought for a second and then managed to ask if he could turn around all she needed was a few minutes to run to her things and get dressed.

Sesshomaru Pov - the mikos modesty was something but for her to think i was indecent like a common human.

As kagome patiently waited for his reply he cleared his throat and spoke "Miko I am no human and do not listen to anyone's demands and with that I am not interested in staring at your plain human form but if your modesty is so much I will not stare"

And with that sesshomaru turned his head and faced the trees in another direction. Kagome was dumb founded by his replay he had called her plain but she knew she couldn't retaliate in the state she was in or ask him for anything else and hoped he would keep his word. She slowly tip toed closer to the edge and in a seconds she ran towards her towel and did her best to dry and change as fast she could. As she finished and put her shoe on she looked towards him and was relieved that he kept his word and continued to stare at what she was not sure. She packed her bottles and towels in her pack and approached him she had to know why if he was hunting so close by her or even come here to her.

Sesshomaru approached her for a moment and proceeded to pass her towards a tree, he turned around and sat down. Kagome saw him make no move to leave and with that she sat down beside him not sure how to start of the conversation but she did her best. "so sesshomaru if your hunting why are you here why did you come to me" to say the least he was surprised she asked him but knew he should answer her "miko don't assume I came here for you I was hunting and caught your scent that is all" it was a lie and he knew it but he refused to let her know it. He rose to his feet and faced her, his stoic face in place like usual "miko I must thank you for your assistance it was not necessary but I still thank you". "Kagome" "my name is kagome you don't have to keep calling me miko and your welcome I guess"

"Miko….Kagome why do you come to a spring alone there, are many yokai and humans alike out there who hold no respect for women in your situation" He held a smirk on his face as he spoke, and walked around her in such a predatory manner she couldn't help the chill run up her spine. Kagome knew the cat and mouse move he was playing and tried her best to show no fear and stood her ground. She managed to gain her composure stand up and began to walk along the bank of the spring and took quick look behind her to find he was indeed following her. As she looked up to the open sky and stars she was in awe of the view "there amazing to stare at I can do it all night"

He never removed his eyes off her but did to respond "indeed". He was confused he couldn't understand his need to be close to her, her smell her look her presence he felt a pull to her. He continued to follow and stare at her with amazement and confusion. Kagome realized the time and knew she had to return before inuyasha would come looking for her and world war 3 would begin. She began to look around at her surroundings she felt hated to admit she wanted to stay and talk to him but she wouldn't tell him. She faced him and spoke up ''I have to head back before inuyasha comes'' he nodded in agreement but didn't like the thought of having to leave. Kagome gave him a smile and told him goodnight. As she walked away with that sesshomaru leapt into the trees and was gone.

As kagome came into view she was startled and fell to the ground and inuyasha in front of her and brandishing his sword yelling like a maniac demanding his brothers to come out after a few seconds she yelled ''SIT'' and was relieved to see him face plant the ground. ''the nerve to scared the crap out of me like a crazed maniac'' she didn't have the energy to argue with him and it wasn't his business who she spoke to she passed by him and head to her spot next to Sango to crash for the night with that she looked up at the clear blue sky and let out a silent "Good Night sesshomaru" sesshomaru landed far off in another clearing he was slightly agitated he figured seeing her one last time would clear his mind but he found himself wanting to be close to her, hear her voice he looked back and up at the sky and gave a goodnight to Kagome out there.
