Anywayz I try to make this chapter much longer than the last to make up for me not updating. See how much I love you guys? And you still wont review I feel so hurt…
Chapter 4
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.
Even though it took a little while for Sesshoumaru to compose himself he regained movement in his limbs and silently walked away from the expectant Miko. With out so much as a glance back to her he told her to hurry up.
Kagome had never been so shocked in her life she half expected him to lash out at her and the other half at least expected him to have a response to what she just did. This would never work if he continued to be so unaffected by her she would never fulfill her plan for revenge. She would just have to try harder if she was going to get this to work.
She would try a new approach. She would act as herself for a while then try her charms once again on Sesshoumaru.
"If you do to wish to be left you'd be wise to hurry up" he said in his usual cold voice.
"Coming lord Sesshoumaru!" Kagome practically had to run to catch up with him.
They walked in silence for a good portion of the day never once daring a glance at each other. After five and a half silent hours Kagome thought she was going to have a psychotic break if they didn't say something soon! To her surprise he was the first to break the silence.
"What did my pathetic brother do to run you off and pretend that you have something to say to my ward? Though we both know that you're trying to lead me into a false sense of security," he said in a tone that bordered amusement and being annoyed. At her silence he continued. "Yes Miko I know exactly what you're doing after that little display it has become quite clear in what you intend to accomplish."
"I-I…" Kagome stammered trying to think of a good lie to tell the obviously irritated Youkai. After a few moments of more silence she just sighed. "Inuyasha…was with… another woman and I ran off because he…" Her voice trailed off as tears choked her.
"Hmm…" Sesshoumaru said as he again started walking away.
"Why are you just walking away like I didn't try to deceive you!?" she yelled at the back of his head.
"And what am I to do? Kill you? The pain you're in hurts more than death ever could. But as punishment for you deception you will have to travel with me and become my personal slave what ever I tell you to do you shall do it without any complaints is that understood?"
Kagome sniffled and nodded her head.
"Good. As my slave your first task is to stop crying, I can't bear that annoying smell of salt." He commanded sternly, "and I don't want anymore tears from now on."
"But…"
"I said with out complaint" he added firmly. "And let it be known that if you disobey my commands you will be punished."
Kagome quietly wiped the tears from her eyes and sniffled a bit, but quickly go her tears under control. When she looked up again he was looking at her with the oddest expression. She almost thought she saw desire in his eyes but it quickly disappeared into the normal "I hate everything" expression. She was taken aback for a moment but soon recuperated and forgot what she had seen. Without one more word Sesshoumaru again turned to walk away. Kagome quickly followed behind him not wishing to anger her "master" any further.
As they walked in silence yet again Kagome couldn't help but feel something was different about Sesshoumaru he seemed more… friendly then he did before she met him. Though he was still the cold heartless Sesshoumaru he somehow seemed a lot more approachable than he ever did.
"Miko! What did you say your name was again?" Sesshoumaru asked her to her astonishment.
"Uhh…ah Kagome," she stammered. "My name is Kagome lord Sesshoumaru"
"If you intend on still seeking revenge on my half brain of a brother I will be…content to be of service to you." he said coolly.
"thank-you so much milord!" you don't know how much that would mean to me!" Kagome half squealed.
"My services, though, come with a condition" he added, "a condition that I will reveal at a later time. Right now is neither the time nor place to discuss this"
"But why…never mind. Thank-you so much lord Sesshoumaru!"
Sesshoumaru's pov: you may thank me now Miko but not for long soon you'll wish you had never agreed…end pov.
I'm sooooo sorry that chappy was so short I had to post something soon or I would have had my eye lids stapled shut by angry fans. So what did you think good cliffy or bad cliffy? Ok this chapters question is: why do all of the Inuyasha characters look older than they really are? (EX. Kagome looks like 20 Kaede looks about 10 years older than dirt and Sango looks like she's 24.) Remember all answers must be submitted by reviews.
