Chapter 4: Hotness…

Last time: There was a faraway bonk…"Monk! Perv! You saw Kagome naked and bathing didn't you!? I thought you were sleeping!?" Sango yelled at him.

"Sango my dear I can explain!" Miroku said.

"Explain my butt!" Sango said.

(BONK!)

'...'

Recap:

Miroku caught Kagome and Sesshomaru at the springs, her with her period.

Sango hit Miroku over the head with her boomerang.

Sesshomaru, oddly enough teasing Kagome while trying to strip her (since she's wet)

Lady Nefertiti: enjoy reading chapter 4 and don't forget to review!

Kagome was mortified beyond belief! Miroku had caught her half-naked at the springs with the enemy! And oddly hadn't panicked or opened up his Kazaana at Sesshomaru. Miroku was going to keep them a secret? Ha, as if! Wait a second there was no them! And she felt so icky and dirty even though the water had helped her pain somewhat. So Sesshomaru was trying to help her? He didn't have to push her into a spring though!

'He didn't lay a hand on you...you mental Miko.' Her conscious said.

"Hn." Sesshomaru said looking at the now blushing Miko. What was she thinking about? What she had said earlier about them and him ordering people around? Human females were a strange lot he had to admit that. Well now the little Miko was glaring at him….Hn…it was kind of sexy but he didn't know why….

Kagome looked up at him and crossed her arms. "Sesshomaru…." She began angrily and pointed at him rudely. "Tell me something….WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO BLOODY HOT?"

'………….'

And Kagome continued on her little 'mantra' ignoring and not caring if he was listening to her or not. Hey she was a PMS'Y girl and needed to blow off some steam and why not on a certain demon lord? Her victim that was currently in front of her? "I mean seriously, it should be a crime that you are so damn good-looking with your silky silver hair and the mark on your forehead with those red stripes. Who gave YOU the right to be exotic and hot? Not to mention your cool and composed voice which would make any girl turn into a puddle of mush."

"And then YOU of all people have to go and ruin it by killing the person that even compliments you! It's a shame that you let such beauty go to waste like that! Or maybe you already know that you're all that and show it by killing people left and right!? To show off your power and that you know how to use a sword right? Well you don't have to go off and flaunting your powers off to me mister! How dare you go show off your greatness and now that wind bitch Kagura is after you! How DARE YOU?"

"You do it so effortlessly; you don't yell and don't get all bloody either! How do you do that? And you're most favorite way to kill people is to slice their heads off right? Kind of disturbing though." Kagome continued.

'Hn.' Sesshomaru thought. Annoying but fiery Miko. But charming the way that she was speaking to him. She was killing his ears! There was only one way to shut her up…and he kissed her.

'……….'

"Come." Was all he said.

"What? Now HOLD IT right there!" Kagome said indigently pointing at her clothes. They came up to her knees and it felt cool on her body but…. "I can't walk around with you're Haori on me like a second skin!" he stopped and looked over his shoulder.

"Why not? This Sesshomaru does believe that white silk looks quite appealing on you." He said it in a way that made her skin redden. Why was he eyeing her like a piece of meat?!

'That's a fact!' his beast said eyeing her hungrily.

Kagome didn't know what to do at the moment. Should she follow Sesshomaru? Or should she go back to her camp, her pack and the hell with him? Inuyasha would throw a fit if he saw her in his half-brother's clothes let alone with him in general thinking they did something dirty, Miroku would just raise his lecher eyebrows and know that they did the 'dirty.' Sango…well first she'd worry then when Kagome and her had her girl-talk she'd squeal that Kagome had some 'alone' time with the cold lord and he'd kissed her. Hey she wasn't about to say anything bad about Sesshomaru now. Which woman in their right mind would possibly resist or decline the great Lord Sesshomaru huh?

But she had her period no duh! And demons could sense that duh! So definitely Inuyasha would think that both (Kagome and Sesshomaru) had did something. Sesshomaru wasn't that far gone that he didn't appreciate a woman in heat anyway, wait! Sesshomaru had told her to come with him! And hadn't told her to leave or get lost. So did that mean he wanted her? Must be the demon/beast talking that wanted her? But why should she care about what Inuyasha thought about her anyway? He had his 'daily visits' to Kikyo and Kagome never once got jealous or complained that HE was late but she always saw Shippo glare at him when he (Inuyasha) came from Kikyo late at night. Shippo would say, "So Inuyasha, you have a good time with Kikyo?" Maybe since he was a demon (full) he could sense the scents on Inuyasha and all he would say is 'Keh! Mind your own business runt!' and jump into his designated tree.

Yes, She, Kagome had made a wise decision when she had put her foot down saying she would not mate Inuyasha. Aids was common even in these days….

Maybe for now, she'd follow Sesshomaru….maybe until her clothes dried? Since she was wearing his outer Haori his scent was all over her….so then she'd have to bath before she returned to Inuyasha. No need for her pack to panic over her.

That is IF she felt like returning at all.

"Kagome." Sesshomaru said.

'……….'

He spoke her name?! And with respect and politeness? What? Huh? Was this all a bad dream? No it was a very good one! Maybe she hit her head and imagined Sesshomaru undressing her and putting his Haori on her and kissing her with want and hunger? No male had ever made her feel like that. It was just delicious….

Sesshomaru sighed. The Miko was spacing out. He wanted to return to his group as soon as possible and before the hanyou picked up his scent. Yes even he had to admit that the hanyou's nose wasn't that stuffy or bad. He didn't know what compelled him to put his shirt on her. He had to admit she did look rather nice in his shirt, no matter how large and oversized it was for her. He wanted to keep her….at least for a while.

-Inu-tachi-

"Have you seen Kagome-chan Miroku?" Sango asked him from across the fire. She felt sort of guilty for smashing his head earlier. Miroku's eye twitched but he thought about his answer before he spoke.

"I believe that Kagome-sama would appreciate some alone time to herself. After all, you did see the way she was this morning. I believe that she is in need for some solace that Inuyasha cannot give her. Perhaps she should return home?" Miroku said as Sango nodded her head. Yeah she needs some comfort from Sesshomaru he thought with an inward hentai grin. An interesting couple they would make. Well it wasn't exactly a lie….

CRASH!

And Inuyasha came crashing though the trees. "Oi! I'm looking for the wench! Where is she? Cause if she went home crying I'm going to yank her ass back here! There's been jewel sightings but in the western lands! And I'm going to need her to purify Sesshomaru if he dares intrude and bother us."

No answer from the rest of his group. It was like he was speaking Italian to them. Miroku would never tell Inuyasha, he would never break his promise to Kagome-sama. "Damn you all! Why does everyone love, respect and protect Kagome like that?! Fine we'll just have to leave her behind this time and I'll deal with Sesshomaru myself. We still have Kikyo and she can join out grou…." Inuyasha started. It was then Sango's eyes blazed with an inner fire that could have made Inuyasha pee in his pants…

"INU-YASHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" Sango roared scaring all the birds out of their respected trees. Inuyasha flinched and gulped. Maybe that was a bad idea.

-Back to Sesshomaru and Kagome-

She was following Sesshomaru for quite a while and it was getting dark. "So are we going to walk all the way west to your home? Or are we walking to your camp? Oh is Rin there? I do remember that you travel with her…." Kagome said.

Sesshomaru just nodded his head. "Rin is at the western palace right now. This Sesshomaru did not deem it appropriate for her to join me on this task."

"Oh? And what task is that?" Kagome asked him innocently. Sesshomaru could've smirked had he been facing her. Need she ask? He'd already gotten what he wanted. Her. He always made it a point to win every time.
