Chapter 3,
Kagome sighed and slowly woke up. She tried to move but realized that she hurt too much to do much of anything but move her head. She looked around and stared at the beautiful room that she was in.
She was in awe for a few minutes until an older lady walked in. She noticed that Kagome was awake and quickly walked over to her. The old woman smiled and stared down at her.
"It is about time you woke up! You have been asleep for a couple of days, and that is not counting when you were unconscious." She said happily. Kagome stared at her and suddenly her stomach grumbled its displeasure at being ignored. The older lady heard it and let out a small laugh.
"I see someone is hungry. I will bring you a bowl of soup and some fruit, you can not eat anything really solid for a while in case your wounds reopen." Kagome nodded and sighed as the older lady left.
Kagome looked at the ceiling and started to count the tiles on it. After a bit the older woman came back with a steaming bowl of soup and some grapes. She walked over to Kagome and helped her sit up. She sat by Kagome as she silently ate.
After a bit the old woman took the now empty bowl and no more fruit back to the kitchen to do the dishes. Kagome sighed again and once again stared at the ceiling. Suddenly Sesshomaru showed up and stared at her.
"Miko are you feeling better?" Kagome nodded and angrily stared at him. "Thank you but I have a name you know Ka-go-me, that is my name so please call me by it or I will make up a nickname for you." Sesshomaru glared at her and smirked.
"You wouldn't dare insult this Sesshomaru by giving him a nickname." Kagome inwardly grinned and evilly glared at him. "Fine then please leave…Sesshy."
Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red and he quickly grabbed Kagome's throat and slightly squeezed it. Kagome stared at him and smirked.
"Well you did dare me to, and if you would call me by my name I will call you by yours."
Sesshomaru stared at her and let her throat go. He started to walk out of the room, but turned back before he left.
"Rest, you will need it. When you are fully healed I shall train you how to fight." Kagome nodded at him and quickly dozed off.
Sesshomaru walked out and closed the door. He stared at it for a second before going to his room. He walked in and sat down by his desk and opened some scrolls pertaining to his lands. He finally gave up as his thoughts drifted back to the raven haired woman sleeping not three doors down.
I don't know why I feel like I do. It is almost like I want to protect her from anything. I did not feel this way when I met her before when she was with my half brother. Why now of all times?
He put his head on the desk trying to solve it out in his head before he noticed that he had dozed off and was now drooling on his papers. The old woman came in but had to quickly close her mouth or she would wake the sleeping lord in front of her. She left and went down to the servant's chambers and kept remembering the way Sesshomaru was drooling.
Inuyasha and group quickly traveled through the forest. They knew that they were many days away from Sesshomaru's castle and wanted to get there to make sure that Kagome was still alive.
They ran until lunchtime and stopped at a stream to take a break. Inuyasha went and sat on the branch of one of the trees near by. He looked at the little group and sighed. Things were so much better with Kagome around. I know I have Kikyo but it is just not the same. Who do I have feelings for, Kagome or Kikyo?
Kikyo saw him sitting alone and walked over to him. She smiled and sat down beside the tree. "We will get your miko friend back, don't worry."
Inuyasha stared at her and sighed. He hoped that they would. He was not sure anymore. He couldn't even catch a whiff of Kagome or Sesshomaru. He smiled down at her but Kikyo knew that it was a fake smile.
Kikyo hated Kagome because Kagome always got Inuyasha's affection but hated seeing him this sad. She had overcome her hate of him long ago and wanted to stay with him whether he loved her or not.
She stared at the sky and hoped that where ever Kagome was she was happy. She wanted Inuyasha for herself and decided that if the time came she might decide to kill Kagome but know she was having second thoughts.
They started off again after lunch and headed to the western lands.
Sesshomaru went to see his half brothers companions and noticed that Inuyasha had replaced Kagome with the dead miko. He snarled at the thought and ran back to his castle.
He still did not know if he wanted Kagome to stay or not. He had decided that she would be a good tutor for Rin and went to his room to debate the possibilities of Kagome's future.
Meanwhile Koga was now desperately searching for Naraku after getting word that Kagome was dead. He ran with Ginta and Hakaku to go and find him, although Koga hoped that he would run into Inuyasha and make him pay for not being there for Kagome.
