Chapter 2

Saved by Sesshomaru

"Kagome? Kagome?" Inuyasha said softly, "Kagome, wake up. We're going now."

She tilted her head back and yawned, "Yeah, okay," and rolled out of her sleeping bag.

"Good Morning Kagome!" Miroku smiled, cheerfully, getting off the ground and began to walk. Soon enough they were on their way into the forest, passing by where Kagome was last night. That's right, I saw Sesshomaru here last night… She looked at the tree she had been slumped on, but became angry, remembering he had walked away and ignored her. Snapping back to reality, she then caught up with the rest of the group. She began to wonder why she couldn't stop thinking about Inuyasha's brother, but shook away the thought.

Suddenly, the quiet that had been only for a few minutes, broke. "Keep your hands off me, pervert!" Sango yelled, smacking Miroku across the face. Soon they came across the well, and Kagome sighed. I should go visit Souta and the others soon…She thought to herself.

"Everyone stand back!" Inuyasha snarled, as he had picked up Naraku's scent.

"How nice to see you all," Naraku chuckled, tentacles flying out from under the baboon suit.

"It's another puppet!" Kagome shouted at Inuyasha and the others, reaching for her arrows before she was soon almost hit by one of the tentacles, but Inuyasha had sliced it, just in time to prevent Kagome from getting hurt.

"Kukuku, Inuyasha, you're even weaker than your pitiful brother, Sesshomaru." Naraku stated, laughing at him. Soon turning, and aiming for the well.

"Inuyasha! Do something, he's going to destroy the well and I won't be able to go home!" Kagome shrieked, running for the well.

Sango grabbed her, "Kagome, stay back! You have to let Inuyasha handle this." She sighed, noticing the tears in Kagome's eyes.

"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Inuyasha swung his sword, and hit it against the ground. "WIND SCAR!!"

"Kukuku…" Naraku continued going after the well, amused by the terror in Kagome's eyes. He got attacked, again, by Inuyasha. He moved quickly, and hit Inuyasha upside the head with his tentacles, knocking him out cold.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs, and ran to him. "Are you okay?! Inuyasha! Answer me!" She looked up, and a tentacle was coming her way. Her eyes widened, and she stuck our her arms for protection, but felt herself being lifted. But it wasn't Naraku's tentacles. She forced her eyes open, and noticed she was being carried by Sesshomaru. "S-Sesshomaru?" she stuttered, turning her attention to his hair, which she thought was so beautiful.

"Miko, you're going to get yourself killed, being so careless." He said, putting her down. Why does this miko interest me so? He thought, and then noticed her gaze was at his hair. "What is it that makes my hair so fascinating to you?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

She blushed frantically, "S-sorry… It just looked…" She stopped, looking him in the eyes.

"Kagome!" Sango and Miroku yelled, catching up, with Kirara and Shippo. "Are you alright? You suddenly disappeared and Naraku left… so we tried to catch up," she sighed.

"Why is Sesshomaru here?" Miroku whispered to Kagome, aware he could hear him.

"He saved me," she whispered and then smiled. "I know its hard to believe."

Sango turned to Sesshomaru, looking up at him, raising an eyebrow. "I'm grateful you helped us and did this, but why exactly?"

"I have no need to answer to your questions." He said, looking at her coldly, which sent chills down her spine. Quickly turning away, he began to walk.

"Wait…" Kagome said softly. "I said wait!" she yelled to him, but he ignored and continued walking into the forest, soon out of sight. She sighed, turning and noticed that Miroku had Inuyasha on his back, unconscious. She laughed a little, but then began to walk with them, Shippo tight in her arms. Why did he save me? He never helps Inuyasha in any way shape or form! They're always arguing, and Sesshomaru always wins…She laughed out loud at the thought, and Shippo looked at her curiously, but she just smiled, and continued to walk with them.

"Kagome, I will go get us firewood, since you've been through a lot today." Miroku smiled, walking off into the forest.

She yawned, suddenly realizing she could use a bath. "Hey Sango, I'll race you to the hot springs, there's one nearby."

"Of course Kagome" Sango smiled with excitement "I'd love too." She then glared at Inuyasha, as a warning not to peek, and then headed off with Kagome.

Finally they arrived, and found themselves comfortable in the water. "Ah, this feels great!" Kagome smiled, sinking in.

"So Kagome, it looks like Sesshomaru likes you." Sango laughed, teasingly.

She blushed like mad, "Oh Sango, he's too cold, he couldn't possibly." But inside, she felt somewhat that she wanted him to like her, even if only as a friend.

In the distance, Sesshomaru noticed the miko's scent, and went to see what she was doing. He jumped into a tree, and watched carefully at her, how beautiful she looked, in the hot springs, and smirked at the idea at him being like that lecherous monk, and soon left, ashamed he even came close to them, when they were in the hotsprings. But she is really beautiful, for a human… he immediately chased that thought away, as if I would ever become like my father, falling for humans…

They sat for about 20 minutes, before Kagome suggested leaving, because her hands were getting all wrinkly from being in so long. So she wrapped in a towel, and dried off. "Come on Sango! I'll race you back." She giggled, getting a head start after dressing, Sango soon catching up to her, laughing along with her.
