Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Scientific Method
Chapter 24
Kagome was feeling restless. All this walking and silence were driving her crazy. To make things worse she could only think of what was going to happen once she met with Inuyasha again.
Will he be mad or happy?
Will he accuse her of spending too long with Sesshomaru? It wasn't her fault!
Were Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Kaede and Sango all right?
Did they encounter Naraku?
Oh! So many things to worry about!
"Miko," warned Sesshomaru when he felt her turbulent emotions once again reach a point where it made him uncomfortable.
"Did you know our planet, Earth, is moving as we speak? That's why there's day and night." Kagome brilliantly asked. Anything to make her forget about Inuyasha!
"Hn."
"Do you see the sun?" asked Kagome with a small smile, "Our planet also orbits around the sun. We are the ones moving, not the sun."
"Hn."
"In fact…do you know that if we stopped moving, and by that I mean the Earth rotating in its own axis, we would be shot towards the space at 1,500km/per hour?"
"Hn," mumbled Sesshomaru "Is this space outside the Ozone Layer?" Kagome nodded with a pleased smile, "Then how did we pass through?"
"Oh no no," Kagome quickly replied while moving her hands, "The barrier is only for gases like Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide…we can pass through as rockets can."
"Rockets?"
"Yes! Mechanical monsters made to study the universe!"
"Universe?" Sesshomaru asked with some irritation…he was definitely feeling out of his expertise here. How could a tiny, human, miko do such a thing so easily? And to think he was five-hundred older! She was but a pup!
"Yes, the other planets and galaxies and stars and black holes…"
"Miko," Sesshomaru interrupted with an annoyed voice, "Did you know inuyoukai mate for life?"
"Oh," Kagome suddenly said, curiosity picked, "Like ookami?"
Although the comparison was insulting, it was true. He tired of sun, and planets, youkai culture was a topic he could work with and overpower her in. He hated to be seen like an ignorant. "Yes," he said to Kagome's earlier question, "although in Inuyasha's case…since he's only half I am not sure if his case counts."
"Hey!" cried Kagome in indignation.
Sesshomaru smirked. He heard not what she was saying, trying to speak in behalf of the hanyou, but he was pleased. He liked, needed, to be in control and an unruly female with way too much education was not going to shame him.
He was Sesshomaru, and he was the killing perfection: both with the sword and his tongue.
