Another chapter in one hour?! What is this madness! I spit out three chapters yesterday, so i'm hoping to do five today. I'm sorry if my chapters seem kinda short. I want them to be longer, but I love cliff hangers hahaha. I promise this will be a long story though, so it will make up for the shortness of the chapters. Please leave reviews, messages, kind words, etc. And please tell your fellow Sesskag shippers about my story! (:
~I will only post this one more time. Inuyasha and characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi, not me, unfortunately. The original characters are mine.~
Chapter 5
Kagome sighed loudly for the millionth time that day. Inuyasha was at it again. Just as soon as she had sensed a shard, he was pushing them to the bring of insanity with his constant yelling of "You week humans! Keh, do you want to defeat Naraku or not?! Get your asses moving!" "Inuyasha, sit" Kagome huffed as he hit the ground in an Inuyasha sized crater. She hadn't said that cursed word much over the past year and a half. She just didn't see the point in using it if he was going to do what he wanted to anyways once he pulled himself out of the dirt. She only said it occasionally and only if he really got on her nerves, like now. "Look, I told you I don't sense the shard anymore. It went in another direction some while ago, so will you stop harassing us! We've been traveling all day, and I personally would like a nice hot bath." she fussed as she came to a stop. "Lady Kagome is right. It is getting rather dark, and I could use some meditation myself." Miroku chided as he and Sango came to a stop next to their friend. "Kagome, I think I saw a hot spring a little ways back if you want to go have some girl time?" Sango winked as Kagome smiled widely and gathered her bathing supplies. "Right! Oooh let's go! I can almost feel the warm water now!" They both started walked back in the direction they came and passed a fuming Inuyasha. "Feh, do what yall want. But after we rest, we needa keep movin. Naraku ain't gonna kill himself." The girls laughed and waved goodbye as they continued down the woodsy path to their destination.
"Oh boy does that hit the spot!" Kagome giggled as she sunk lower into the water. Sango smiled at her friend as she began to lather her hair. "All this traveling has my muscles so tense, so this feels amazing! Say, Kagome, how are you doing lately? I know we don't get much girl time like we used to, but you always seem to be zoned out. Is everything okay?" Kagome tensed up momentarily before relaxing. "Oh, yeah everything's fine. I've just been doing a lot of thinking lately. To be honest, something is going on, but i'd rather keep it private for right now. You know I love you as a sister, Sango, and I promise i'll tell you eventually, but I need more time to think about things." she stated as she combed through her wet hair. "That's fine, Kagome. Just promise to tell me when you're ready, okay? You know I would never judge you, so you can trust me." Sango smiled as she held out her pinky. "Pinky promise. Don't worry too much, kay?" Kagome said as her and Sango shook pinky's. Sango stood and headed for the shore and began to dry off. "Kagome are you coming too, or would you like to stay for a while?" she asked. "I think I may stay a while and think. You go ahead. I've got my bow so i'll be okay." Kagome smiled while Sango finished getting dressed. "Okay! I'll let the others know. See you back at camp!" Sango waved as she walked back to their camp. 'Good. Now I can continue debating with myself as to why I am crazy for being so attracted to a mass murderer.' Kagome thought bitterly. Sesshomaru wasn't a mass murderer, perse. But he had killed a lot of beings, demons and humans alike. He was known as the most powerful demon in Japan and was also known for his ruthlessness. Kagome wasn't scared of him though. She didn't know why, she just knew he would never try to harm her. Sure he had tried a couple of times in the past, but it had been three years since then. They all have come a long way and for all intents and purposes, he was their ally. He had even saved her a few times. That has to count for something, right? Kagome hummed in agreement as she continued her thinking. 'I sure hope I don't run into him for a while. If I do, he's going to know something's wrong with me... I don't even know if I can look him in the eye if I see him again!' Kagome sighed agitatedly and began to climb out of the water. Walking over to her stuff she dried off and put on her underwear. 'One of the bad things about this era is that women don't wear bras. Good things I brought two!' she mused as she combed through her hair. "You! Woman! You posses jewel shards! THEY WILL BE MINE!" Kagome turned around suddenly and saw a bear demon towering over her just a few feet away. 'Great, just as soon as i'm alone this freak just has to show up and interrupt my alone time!' she huffed as she narrowed her eyes at the demon. 'He has a jewel shard. He must be the one we were following earlier!' she thought as she started for her bow. Before she could reach it the demon, using his demonic speed, swiped at her with its claws and sent her soaring through the air. Screaming, Kagome hit the front of a tree and crashed to the ground. Groaning she looked up and noticed that the demon was advancing on her. Before he could reach her she let out a loud scream and prayed to any kami out there that would listen that Inuyasha would hear her. "HELP!"
