Chapter 4: What Is This Feeling I Feel?
Kia sat there in the small hut the group around her laughing and being friendly
"So how long have you known Inu Yasha?" Shippo asked
"Since the day he was born" Kia answered smiling at the Hanyou
"Really that's interesting," Miroku said casually
"Keh why is that interesting monk!" Inu Yasha asked
"It's just I didn't think cats and dogs got along" he answered
"Well it's not that we get along its more we tolerate each other" Kia replied
"So did you know Sesshomaru that long too?" Shippo asked sitting beside Kia and waiting"
Kia looked at the small kit "well I was born two days after Sesshomaru and my father and his father were friends we used to play together and get into trouble together we were friends" Kia said smiling
"And so you there when Inu Yasha was born so you know how angry Sesshomaru was" Miroku asked ignore the growl from Inu Yasha
"Yes I was there and I knew how Sessy felt," she said
"Did you play with Inu Yasha?" Shippo asked excitedly
"Oh yes and who do you think taught the boy to sleep in trees," she said smirking at the Hanyou as he glared daggers at her
"Enough this isn't learn all about Inu Yasha time ok" he remarked standing up
They all looked over at the unusually quiet Kagome she was staring outside of the hut her eyes unfocused
"Eh Kagome you ok?" Inu Yasha asked
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine" she said looking back at her friends
"Kagome may I speak with you alone" Kia asked
"Sure" the two went out into the cool night air the stars blinking down on them and the light breeze teasing them
"Kagome you spent time in the Western castle and came out unharmed" how is that?" Kia asked
"I don't know" Kagome answered as she looked down at her shoes
"I know why my girl it's because Sesshomaru feels something for you," Kia said
Kagome looked up at her wide eyed in shock
"N…n…no he doesn't" Kagome said shaking her head violently
"Yes he does he doesn't just kiss anyone" Kia replied grabbing her by the shoulders
"You know about that?" Kagome said blushing
"Yes he told me look …. He is stubborn and a ass a lot of the times but I know he feels something for you" Kia said quietly
"Kia!" a strong voice said from behind her
"speak of the devil himself… well look at that I have to go now…it was nice meeting you Kagome and I'm sure we'll meet again" the cat jumped away while waving leaving Kagome in the woods with Sesshomaru
Kagome swallowed she felt like little red riding hood who was now alone with the big bad wolf or in this instance the big bad dog demon
"Sesshomaru what are you doing here" Kagome asked
He growled
"You are to call me Lord Sesshomaru …human," he said
"What are you doing here?" she asked again
"The cat didn't return to the castle so I wondered if you got here or not," he answered
"Oh" she said quietly her hands twisting in nervousness Kia's words echoing in her head
'He likes you Miko…he doesn't just kiss anyone'
Sesshomaru eyed the Miko as she nervously fidgeted
"Well now that I see you are indeed home I'll be going," he said in his typical Sesshomaru tone he turned to leave
"Wait I have a question" she said he stopped and turned back to her
"Why did you kiss me?" she asked
He stared at her his face a emotionless mask his eyes a cold amber
"I do not know," he answered and with that, he was gone
Kagome sighed and turned back to camp
She didn't know what she was feeling and what she really should be feeling but she knew she was definitely confused and didn't know what to do
Two Months Later…
Blood spilled out of Kagome's mouth as her body landed roughly on the hard ground
"Kagome!" Shippo cried as he rushed over to her
"I'm fine Shippo," she said as she winced in pain her body felt bruised and broken
The demon laughed as he threw Inu Yasha off of him as well
Inu Yasha skidded and came back launching yet an another attack on the giant Bear demon
"Kagome where is its jewel shard" he screamed out at her
Kagome sat up her arms weak she blinked a couple times and looked over the beast
"There in it's chest Inu Yasha it's chest," she yelled out to him
Sango threw her weapon down on one of the not so little Bear cubs as it lunged at Miroku while his staff was locked in the jaws of the second cub
Kagome pulled a arrow from her back and aimed it at the one Bear cub that had Miroku's staff
She pulled it and released and watched as the Bear demon cub turned to ash
The other cub turned and began charging at her
She reached feeling around but all of her arrows were gone all of them were used
She closed her eyes as the cub descended upon her but as she waited to feel the claws tearing her and the teeth gouging her she realized it wasn't happening she opened her eyes to find Inu Yasha above her his sword stopping the charging Bear cub
"Inu …Yasha?" she said staring up at him
"Keh what are you just sitting there fore get away" he said looking down at her
She sighed and managed to get up but her ankle hurt, as did her side the huge Bear demon growled and lunged at her sweeping its massive paw at her
She screamed and ducked
Sango and Miroku swept down to pick her up but the bear knocked Kirara down smashing all three down to the ground
Kagome stood up and began running again but just as she was almost a foot or two away from the Bear a third cub came out bounding towards her she stopped and turned back towards her friends Inu Yasha was held up by the one Bear cub and then Miroku and Sango were fighting off the giant Bear demon she was alone with no weapons nothing to save her
She cried out mentally screaming to the gods to save her
She shut her eyes tightly picturing her mom, grandpa, Sota and even her fat cat Buyo she said her goodbyes in her head and like before the pain of death didn't happen she opened her eyes slowly to find Sesshomaru standing before her he had used his whip to cut the Bear cub's head off
"Sesshomaru what are you doing here?" she asked confused as he glared down at her
He didn't answer her he turned and leapt into the air slicing the huge Bear demon's head off
Inu Yasha stared at his older brother then pushed the Bear cub off and stabbed it through the heart
Kagome went over to the huge Bear demon head and pulled out the jewel shard
"what the hell are you doing here Sesshomaru" Inu Yasha growled
"that is none of your business little brother just be thankful I saved you Miko she would be dead right now" he said coldly
He turned and left the pack there
Kaede's hut had three injured beings in it the fourth had snuck out to the hot springs to bathe her broken body
Kagome sat in the hot water sighing in contentment she laid her head back and closed her eyes
Letting the water ease her pain away
"you shouldn't be alone woman" a cold stern voice said from behind her"
She opened her eyes and sat up turning slightly to find the cold demon lord behind her
"what do you want" she asked her fear draining away
"to see if you were ok" he answered calmly
Lately Kagome had filled his mind her laugh and smile her tears and cries
Her smell and her face he couldn't get her out of his head no matter how hard he tried so he decided to check up on her he had no Idea he was going to find her almost about to be mauled by a Bear demon in that moment his blood ran cold and he feared losing her
And that in a way pissed him off how could he fear something let alone the death of some human Miko he growled
Kagome turned around when she heard him growl "Sesshomaru?" she asked looking at him as he looked at her
"girl why do you seem to make me angry every moment I'm with you I have never felt such before" he said she figured the question wasn't directed towards her but instead was actually to himself but decided to answer it anyway
"I don't know" she replied
He moved towards her
"I hate you so much but yet I cant seem to get you out of my head," he said
"I know you hate me," she said quietly not knowing what else to say
"Why are you in my head?...why do I feel like I want you?" he asked her
Again, she didn't know if the question was for her or himself
"I don't know Sesshomaru," she said as he reached her he pulled her up out of the water and examined her body
She was badly bruised on her side and had small cuts the worse cut was to one of her arms
"how could my stupid half brother let this happen to you?" he asked gently stroking one cheek
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome didn't understand what was happening this wasn't the cold human hating demon lord of the west instead it was a soft nice demon who cared that she was hurt
She blushed when she realized she was naked "I…I have to go" she stuttered as she pulled away and pulled a towel around her and ran leaving Sesshomaru standing there
