I realized I forgot to put this part up that I wrote a long time ago. I haven't really gotten a chance to get back into this story because of school and I'm writing two other stories. I thought I'd get back to this when they made the english version of the final act but that hasn't happened yet. The new series was what got me back into Inuyasha to write this story. Still waiting for it. Just need enough encouragment to get me through the battle scene. Started drawing fan art of Sesshoumaru that seems to help a little.
Chained: In MOre Ways Than One
Too Old For You
…
"Come on. Pick up." Kagome mumbled to herself after she'd dialed Yuka's number.
After she had the pleasure of braiding the demons lord's hair she'd slipped away while her brother was questioning him to use the phone. Hopefully she'd be able to get a hold of her friend so that she'd bring the sleeping bag to her instead of having to make the journey herself with Sesshoumaru in toe.
The beeping of a busy signal greeted her. She slammed the receiver on the phone jack in frustration. Since it was Yuka's private phone line she called she knew the line was going to be busy for a while. They didn't have time to wait around for her to finish.
"Miko, what are you doing?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Kagome spun around in surprise. To explain what she'd just been doing she'd have to explain what a telephone was and she really wasn't in the mood for that. "Just getting ready to go. It time we should leave."
…
She tried to keep up with the demon lords long stride as they descended the shrine steps but fell quickly behind. He was taking 4 steps at a time. Even practically running, he had to wait for her to catch up at the bottom.
"Which way?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Kagome had to catch her breath after the sprint down the stairs. "Right." She pointed. He was immediately was in motion once more. She had to jog to catch up or be left behind in his dust.
She noticed the demon lord was eyeing an approaching car; before he could make any sudden movement to attack she held his hand to ground him to her side. " It's not a demon, it's a car that humans use for transportation.
It was the time of the morning when people had to get to work and school so the street wasn't abandoned. Everyone they past on the side walk were starring at them and even the people in the cars. Sesshoumaru was very eye catching so she didn't blame them. She hoped they just thought he was cos-playing and no one would approach for a picture because he was posed too intimidating a figure.
-Sesshoumaru was fascinated by this time period. There were so many scents on the air and ground he could never be able to track anything. He could see very tall buildings off in the distance. The way the people dressed was completely different. Female outfits were as indecent as the miko's; he could see now where she got her fashion sense.
When the demon lord squeezed Kagome's hand it made her remember again that she'd grabbed it and never let go. She blushed when she realized that thy must look like a couple to outsiders. Peeking at the inu-demon under her bangs to see if he realized this but he wasn't paying her any attention, too busy with his new surroundings.
Kagome almost passed Yuki's house she was so distracted by the demon lord. Tugging on the demon lord's hand to get him to halt. "This is it. Wait here for me. Hopefully this will only take a moment."
Sesshoumaru didn't see anything wrong with letting the miko walk a couple feet away from his person so he let her leave him on the side walk as she made her way to the door.
Kagome range the bell. Surprisingly she didn't have to wait long before she could hear someone's footsteps on the other side. Yuka answered the door herself still on the phone. Glad she hadn't decided to wait until the line was free she thought to herself.
"I got to call you back, Kagome's here." Yuka said to the person the phone. Kagome could hear a long response but her friend just hung up anyway, rolling her eyes. "Wat's up?"
"I'm actually just here to pick up that sleeping bag my mother leant you. If I could get that back quickly it'd be great." Kagome asked but it seemed like her friend wasn't paying attention to her. "What are you looking at?" She questioned.
"Who's that?" Yuka pointed back towards the street.
Kagome turned around to check it out. She could see the top of Sesshoumaru's shoulders and head poking out of a hedge that would have blocked almost anyone from view but at Sesshoumaru's respective 6.5 feet height it was no match.
"No idea." Kagome turned back with a dead-pan expression. "Now, how bout that sleeping bag?" She asked forcefully.
Yuka still wasn't paying attention. "He's so hot. I wonder how old he is?" Over 750 Kagome thought to herself.
"Miko, is this going to take much longer? We should be getting back." Sesshoumaru called over the hedge.
"You may not know him but he knows you. How else would he know you live at a shrine." Yuka claimed with narrowed eyes. Not enjoying being lied to. "He does have a resemblance to that boyfriend of yours though." She stroked her chin as she made the connection.
"That's right, he's Inuyasha's older brother and doesn't like to be kept waiting. Now I really need that sleeping bag." Well at least she told half a truth even if Yuka was still under the delusion that Inuyasha was her boyfriend. If it got her out of here faster who was she to complain.
"Sure thing." Yuka answered before she disappeared inside and appearing again with the object she'd been seeking. "Hey do you think he'd go out with me." She whispered in her ear so that the man couldn't over hear, little did she know he heard the whole thing with his demon hearing.
"He's too old for you." Kagome replied as she grabbed the sleeping bag. "Gotta run. Thanks a lot. She you later." She yelled back as she dashed towards the demon lord and started to drag her back towards her house.
