Chapter 5

A Lost Comrade and a Gained Annoyance

"She WHAT?!" Inuyasha yelled. Sango sweat-dropped as Inuyasha dashed into the hut, looking for Kagome. Kikyo stood on the outskirts of the firelight, and hid a smirk. Miroku kept an eye on Kikyo as Inuyasha banged around in the hut then emerged, and started sniffing around.

"She's too injured to go off on her own…" Sango repeated her constant worry over and over.

"My poor momma!" Shippo cried. "This is ALL YOUR FAULT!" He said pointing to Inuyasha.

"MY FAULT?! YOU WERE HERE!" Inuyasha argued back.

"As you were supposed to be. Where did you find Kikyo anyway? And what did you two do?" Miroku asked, getting a perverted look in his eye. Sango brought her boomerang down on his head.

"I…She…" Inuyasha stuttered.

"I was in the area, became tired, and fell asleep. Inuyasha woke me up to make sure I wasn't hurt." Kikyo interrupted Inuyasha's blabber.

"Yea!" He finished for her, somewhat lamely.

"Well you two must have been doing something that scared Kagome off…" Shippo said softly. "'Cuz I smell her going in that direction." He pointed to the forest where Inuyasha and Kikiyo had emerged from only 5 minutes before. Inuyasha paled and ran off into the forest, following her scent.

`Oh no…oh no, oh no! What if she saw? Oh I screwed up…I never wanted to kiss Kikyo!' Inuyasha's mind cried as he ran faster. He stopped, smelling Kagome's tears. `She saw…'

"Shit…" Inuyasha cursed and ran off again in the opposite direction, following her scent.

Kikyo tried to keep up with the others, but slowed them down too much. Kirara had to carry the spoiled dead miko after Inuyasha. Sango ran next to Miroku.

"What's with Kikyo all of a sudden?" Miroku asked Sango.

"No idea…but with the way Inuyasha suddenly sped up, I think he and Kikyo were doing something that he didn't want Kagome to see, but she did see…" Sango thought out loud.

"I knew he was a naughty boy.." Miroku muttered and flinched, but no fists came from Sango. He looked at her and saw her eyes distant and teary. Worry rose inside Miroku. `Kagome is her best friend…if she loses her…just like she lost her brother…no, I won't let her lose her friend!' Miroku silently promised to the only woman he loved.

-Elsewhere…….

Sesshoumaru laid the broken hearted miko on his bed. Why he had brought her to his bedchambers, he still didn't know. Watching her sleeping in pain stirred something inside him. Where as normally, the sight and smell of pain and blood would excite him, this girl's blood made him sad and angry.

`It's just a stupid human!' His mind insisted. He growled low, but his eyes never left her form. `Why?!'

-Later…….

Kagome woke to a warm and silky presence over her entire body. She shivered slightly, not used to the silky feeling and moved slightly. Suddenly most of the warmth that was engulfing her back disappeared and a small thud met her ears. Jumping to a sitting position she saw Sesshoumaru standing next to the bed. A small scream left her throat and she slid herself back, startled.

Sesshoumaru growled, the scream hurting his eardrums. He growled lightly and rubbed his ears. Her scent was still intoxicating inside his nostrils, but he could smell her startled-ness, but he smelt no fear in her. This surprised him… `Everything about her surprises you.. what's the difference?' his mind growled softly.

"Don't ever do that again," he growled, taking his hands down from his ears. Kagome's lip raised to make her look like she was snarling at him. This intrigued the youkai lord.

"Why am I here?" She demanded, sitting forward.

"My ward, Rin, wanted a playmate," he stated, in his mind continuing his statement. `If I had left you there, you would have died…' He growled at that thought. `Shut up.'

`You know it's true. You didn't want her to die, did you?' Sesshoumaru clicked his teeth softly, angered at the truth.

"You will dress appropriately. I do not want Rin to be getting the idea that the way you dress now…" He noticed her looking down at her school uniform, as he did, and shifted. "It's inappropriate. You may keep the clothes for when, I'm sure, you will leave, but as long as you are in my home, you will dress like a dignified lady of the west." With that, he left the room to find Jaken.

`What's this? Was that his way of being nice? Why?' Kagome stared after him, then stepped out of bed. A knock came at the door and Kagome opened it. Jaken stood there, a scowl on his face.

"I am ordered to serve you in your room, which is this way. There is a hot spring attached to the room….it's usually only used for youkai lords, I don't see why Lord Sesshoumaru wants it to be used by a filthy human." This last part was muttered under his breath. Kagome followed him to a pair of big red doors. They were about 12 feet high, painted with a deep red and outlined in gold.

"This is your room. Don't stink up the place…" Jaken muttered as he walked away to get her food. Her room was down the hall and across from Sesshoumaru's, and she could see his door from hers.

Shrugging, she pushed open the door, which swung open with ease, and she gasped.

The room had a hard wood floor, covered in small places by elegant rugs that shone with a youkai's loyalty to his lands and family. On the walls were tapestries showing a beautiful youkai woman and her son as he ran happily in the gardens behind her. The bed was a large futon, with velvet and silk covering it. Redwood tables on either side and a beautiful redwood wardrobe against the wall across from the bed.

`Why would Sesshoumaru give me a room so grand? I thought he hated all humans…'

-The next day….

Kagome sat outside in the same garden that was in the female youkai's tapestry. Rin, his human ward, was picking flowers to make crowns as Kagome sat amidst some beautiful blue blossoms. Dressed in a silk violet kimono, her hair in a bun on top of her head, she looked so much like a decent, honorable lady.

Sesshoumaru was watching her from his balcony, unable to understand why he stared at her and why these thoughts were in his head. He watched as Rin ran over and placed a crown of white flowers on Kagome's raven black hair, then squeal with delight at the appearance of her. Sesshoumaru found his lips in a partial smile and quickly dawned his stone facade. `What is she doing to me?!'

-At Dinner that night….

Kagome sat in the designated spot for her, which was anywhere but the place Sesshoumaru asked her to sit in. A large grin of triumph crossed her mind as he didn't object. The grin faded when she realized that the youkai lord seemed overly dazed.

"My Lord Sesshoumaru, are you all right?" Rin questioned. Obviously it was apparent to the child that something was not right as well.

Snapping out of his daze, Sesshoumaru looked over at Rin.

"I'm fine, Rin. Run off to bed, I need to speak with Kagome…" Sesshoumaru's voice was soft, but it held a rumble to it that sounded like distant thunder. Rin nodded, getting up and running off down the hallway with Jaken following her.

Kagome looked to Sesshoumaru, who was dazed into his thoughts once again.

`When she came into this room, all I could smell was her. Her jasmine and honey scent…why is her scent so pleasing to me? Why would I be aroused by a filthy human girl?' A soft growl rose in his chest as he tried to figure out his thoughts. A voice answered, and Sesshoumaru didn't like what it said.

`If you can love a human child…Rin, why not an older human? Even though you DID promise yourself you never would, why else do you think it's so tempting? You want her for your mate, admit it… at least one part is desiring it more than the others.' At this, he shifted uncomfortably. It was true. A part of him was lusting for this human in a way he never felt before.

"Ano…Sesshoumaru?" A heavenly voice drifted through his thoughts and his eyes focused on the beautiful….wait not beautiful! His eyes focused on the human at his side. "Gomen…Lord Sesshoumaru…you feeling all right?" She was standing so close to him…his bangs were suddenly pushed aside as he felt her cool hand press against his forehead. Afraid to grow to like her touch, he snapped his head away from her, standing.

"Do not touch me, wench!" he growled, staring at her with cold and a little fear in his eyes. Kagome took a step back, hurt at his reaction. Pain radiated off her aura replaced swiftly by anger.

"I was only trying to see if you had a fever or something you JERK!!" Kagome yelled at him, the hurt still in her eyes as she turned and stomped from the room.

Sesshoumaru stared after her, a sudden pain waving through his chest. He had to go after her! But no…he refused to. `Let her be angry!'

-Elsewhere…

"Kikyo, PLEASE! Just go to sleep and get off me!" Inuyasha shoved the dead miko off him. She huffed, angry at him. All she wanted was a little attention! She crawled over to Sango and shook her awake.

"Sango…I need to talk…" Kikyo pleaded as Inuyasha moved up into the trees. Sango grumbled, but sat up.

"About?"

"Why is Inuyasha never wanting to touch me? All I wanted was a little sexual release!" Kikyo whined.

"God! Kikyo! I don't want to know! Go whine somewhere else and let me sleep!!" Sango growled and rolled over, pulling the covers over her head.

Kikyo stared at the only woman she expected to be understood by, then growled and went to her own futon to sleep.

>End of Chapter<

Ano = Uhm

Miko = Priestess

Youkai = demon

Gomen = I'm sorry

I was originally going to leave it where Sesshoumaru and Kagome's part ended, but then I thought about the title…and boom, there ya go….I know…..It sucks…..BUT what will happen?! Will Sesshoumaru actually apologize? Will Kagome ever be able to leave? How much more of Kikyo is the group going to be able to put up with? Guess you'll just have to wait until the next chapter!

Chapter 6: Sudden Realization

(Sorry to all Kikyo lovers….I dun like her…..hence her actions and attitude. Love much from InuMaru_Rapture!
