Hey everybody thanx for all the reviews I got last chapter. You guys that reviewed I want you to know that…I LOVE YOU! Lol. Though I am still yearning for more reviews as I said last chapter reviews are why I wake up in the morning (besides that I would get fired from my job if I didn't lol.)

Chapter 3

After Kagome fell asleep Sesshoumaru took the opportunity to go to the hot spring and wash the day's filth and grime away.

While he was away Kagome slept dreaming of Inuyasha.

Kagome was sitting under a tree staring into space. Inuyasha walked up to her with a slight smile across his face. He instantly takes her into his arms and hugs her tightly. Slowly he inched his lips toward hers, just as he was almost brushing her lips, though, he pulled away. Abruptly he pushed away from her and turned to walk away. Suddenly Kikyou was there and he immediately took her in the embrace he had just held Kagome in. This time however he didn't stop before he kissed her. Kagome was so shocked and hurt that she ran away blindly. Everywhere she ran though the image of him and Kikyou together followed her.

She awoke suddenly, her breathing erratic, looking straight ahead into amber eyes.

"What's your problem Miko?" Sesshoumaru said coldly lifting one eyebrow at her.

When her breathing slowed she finally spoke, "Nothing is wrong with me what's wrong with you!" she basically yelled at him.

Sesshoumaru just turned and walked away, upon leaving he turned to her and glared, "you interrupted my thoughts do so again, Miko, and not only will you not meet with my ward, I will kill you."

Kagome momentarily didn't care about what he threatened to do. She actually liked the thought of just simply dying. She didn't like it enough to kill herself but if the time came she wouldn't fear death.

"A little cold don't you think? Ah well such is life, do what you will, I'm afraid that I just don't care anymore." She said as dryly and cold as he was.

Sesshoumaru stopped in his track when he heard the girl's fearless comment.

"You will learn to hold your tongue. You may be my brothers wench and speak with him anyway you want to, but that is not the case with me."

"As I said before I just don't care anymore do what you will have fun with it for all I care. I'm also not you brothers 'wench' you'd do well to remember that." Kagome stood and walked over to a tree and sat there. Leaving Sesshoumaru stunned beyond compare.

Moments past and all Sesshoumaru managed to do was close his mouth. Why that incompetent wench she will pay for her mistakes. How dare she talk to ME like that the lord of the western lands? After she speaks with my ward I will not give her a chance to finish her plans I shall kill her. I will…

"I'm sorry lord Sesshoumaru I didn't mean to anger you in such a way. I'll understand if you want to kill me before I meet with Rin. I know you were planning to do so after I did, but after what I just did I can't blame you for not waiting until then. I'll make it easy on you too I won't struggle." She apologized softly.

Again he started to walk away back to the springs to finish his bath. "I shall not kill you Miko but next time I will not show mercy to such an impotent human wench." The next minute he was out of sight.

As soon as Kagome was sure he was gone she let the tears flow. Oh, Inuyasha why do you do these things to me I've given you almost everything I have but you still always go back to Kikyou. I swear if I see you anytime soon before my plan is carried out I will kill myself right in front of you. So you can see what you've done to me.

Kagome knew that she wouldn't actually kill herself, but she was going to stage it, to see if he cared enough to try and stop her from doing the unthinkable. Better yet if she could somehow get Sesshoumaru to act as if he liked her I could make him jealous enough to leave Kikyou. Though she knew that it would probably never work, ever, she would still give it a try. How would she get the Prince of Ice to agree to do that though? She'd figure out a way in the morning, first she was tired. All of that crying made her sleepy again. She walked back to the camp and went back to sleep.

The next morning:

Sesshoumaru had been awake for some time and was getting irritated that the young Miko still hasn't wakened. Getting restless he walked over to her to wake her up, but she beat him to it. Suddenly she opened her eyes while Sesshoumaru was standing over her. Forgetting what had happened only the day before she started to scream really loudly.

Instantly his hand was covering her mouth. In a flash Kagome remembered everything. Sesshomaru saw that she was recalling the events of the previous day and lifted his hand from her mouth.

"Get up Miko we're leaving." Sesshoumaru said.

"Good morning to you too," Kagome added bitterly.

"Listen! I will not be mocked, by a lowly human we are leaving now!"

"So I take it your not a morning person either." She replied in the same tone.

That was all it took to send Sesshoumaru off of the edge. Immediately he turned around about to strike her down, but the expression on her face stopped him cold. He couldn't believe what he saw. She was… she was smiling! Right in his face!

Kagome knowing that her smile caught him off guard, decided to try and push her luck. One moment she was standing there grinning up at him the next she was hugging him.

"thank-you so much for letting me stay with you Sesshoumaru-sama," she said standing tip-toe to kiss him on the cheek.

Releasing him Kagome started to pack up her stuff in her bag, wondering what his reaction to her hug would be. She almost laughed in anticipation thinking that the lord off the western lands flipping out on a helpless Miko would be a sight to be hold.

That's the end of chapter 3 folks! Sorry for the short chapter but I haven't updated in a while so I decided to stop there the next chapter will be longer I promise. I'm also sorry for the abrupt stop too. Anyway this chapter's poll question is: "is Miroku's hand really 'cursed' (perverted.) ,or is it that he's just a freaky perverted guy? And also I have another question why is Inuyasha so bitter about everything? Answer all questions in reviews remember (why do is say that after every chapter?)
