InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Thought Away ❯ Mixed Signals ( Chapter 4 )
A Thought Away Chapter 4
A/N: Hooray. We're up to chap. 4! I can't seem to think of ideas. I have a semi-writer's block. ::sigh:: Oh well. Sorry if you think this chapter is too damn short, cause it's your problem, not mine's.
Disclaimer: If I owned InuYasha, which I will never, I wouldn't be writing this, and the story would be completely different. No Kikyou, I would make her dead. Sorry all you Kikyou lovers, but you gotta admit, she is a bitch. Well, life's a bitch and there's nothing we can do. Except hope for the best and that Kikyou would die.
"GET ON WITH THE STUPID STORY!" ::crowd throws tomatoes at me, I duck them::
*~*~Kagome's Bedroom~*~*
Kagome just sat on her bed. Thinking. Again. This time though she was thinking again about Sesshoumaru. Thinking very deeply. `Why did he steal a place in my heart, I mean would he love a lowly miko like me? Would he stoop that low to be my mate? Would he accept the fact that if I become his mate, that his children would be hanyous like InuYasha, except so much better looking, with not as short as a temper? Ugh. The whole world revolves around the Master, and I just play along with it. Am I true to myself? Do I accept this demon? Will it shame my family, just to be his concubine? Or will I be his wife? I hate waiting for the future. I hate waiting!' Kagome continually stared at the ceiling but this time she was lying on her bed. She was amazed at the craftsmanship on the ceiling. Midnight blue sky, gold stars, beautiful angels looking down on her, she admired its beauty. `When will I find true love? I mean I'm 18 years old and never experienced a boyfriend. Love is such a crazy thing. Drives a teenage girl like me crazy! Especially when the person you have the hots for is a strong, well built, gorgeous face, hair and eyes, my dream guy, not to mention an incredible fighter with a lot of wealth. But what kills me is the fact that he sends mixed signals!'
Kagome heard the doorknob turn. She sat up immediately. She wished Sesshoumaru would come in and propose to her right at that minute. Her wish semi-came true. Sesshoumaru entered the door. His hair blowing with the wind from Kagome's balcony window.
"May I help you, Master Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked in her immaculate voice.
"Yes, you can help me. I would like to ask if you would have dinner with me privately, in my chambers. Do you accept this offer?" Sesshoumaru said with, unbelievably with feeling. Kagome was happy yet nervous.
"Of course, Master Sesshoumaru. I will do anything to please you, milord." Kagome said quickly with a breeze. She still felt intimidated by the demon lord's presence. A thousand things went through her brain. Sesshoumaru's ears perked up when he heard her last line. `Oh, she doesn't know how much I need her!' Sesshoumaru thought. `Ugh. I wonder what she thinks of me. A hideous demon lord. How can such a beauty love me?'
"Thank you, milady. There I will ask you an important question. Tomorrow though, you must wake up at 8:30, and meet me at my fighting hall at 9:45. Am I clear?" Sesshoumaru held Kagome's hand, and stared at her eyes yet again. Sesshoumaru always felt odd whenever he looked hard into her caring eyes.
"Yes, I will do as instructed. But Master, can I have an assistant to wake me up everyday, help me bathe and dress? Am I asking too much? I will appreciate an assistant milord." Kagome asked nervously.
"Surely. Now I must go. Oh since I started to know more about you, I noticed that you are an intelligent girl. If you please, you may visit my vast collection of books in my library. I have books, scrolls and such in the library. All you have to do is call an assistant and the assistant will guide you."
"Thank you so much, Master. May I visit it now? Will you lead me?" Kagome asked.
"Let's go! I can't wait to show you my favorite book." Sesshoumaru grabbed her hand and they ran through the hallways making a racket like little kids. Hard to believe.
*~*~In The Library~*~*
"You know what I like about you Sesshy-sama?" Kagome asked with ease, not sure of the reaction of calling him `sesshy-sama'.
"What is it that you admire about me, my lovely lady?" He enjoyed mocking her. But his jaw dropped when she called him `Sesshy'. He thought that she would still feel intimidated by his presences. Sesshoumaru thought wrong.
Kagome blushed lightly when he called her `lovely lady'. "Oh Sesshy, it's your intelligence, physique, face, strength and monotone voice that drives me insane." Kagome blushed at what she blurted out with out thinking. Now she turned crimson.
"Ah, I see that I have captivated your mind. And surely, you've captivated mine's. Your beauty, strength and your wit stay in my mind everyday." Sesshoumaru said in his smooth pilot voice.
"Why do you always make my legs feel weak whenever you're around?" Kagome asked smoothly without a hint of nervousness. She felt proud of her statement.
"Why is it you, who challenges me without a sense of anxiety? I love you Kagome, and please admit to me how you feel about me. You are not my `wench', `bitch', or anything of that vulgar sort." Sesshoumaru asked, this time with nervousness.
"Sesshoumaru, I have grown to love you too. May I stay with you forever?" Kagome asked shakily.
Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist, and kissed her on the spot. She kissed back. They stayed like this for what seemed eternity. "Forever" he whispered in her ear.
They stopped for air. They stayed in awkward silence as they looked for books. The ceiling was about 25 feet high, and the room was a 1000 feet wide. There were book cases filled all over the room. Thousands upon thousands of books, Kagome thought. She found a book. A Harlequin Romance novel. How ironic. She kissed Sesshoumaru on the cheek, she winked at him flirtatiously and left the room. Sesshoumaru was still in awe. `Why does she challenge me so? Her damn flirtatious ways. She intimidates me! Her actions are so unexpected! My Kagome…' Sesshoumaru thought dreamily.
*~*~In The Hallways~*~*
`Ah, he's so romantic. We just met a week ago, but somehow we clicked. It's incredible. InuYasha has too much pride to accept me. Who cares about him? He's nothing but a selfish jerk. I'm going to have him DEAD! I mean two years, playing games with your heart. How would any girl feel?' Kagome sighed as she leaned on wall. She then ran to her room and slept away…
*~*~In Kagome's Bedroom~*~*
"Rise and shine, Lady Kagome." A servant yelled at Kagome who still slept.
"What? What time is it?" She looked at the servant. She looked like her age, but maybe 3 years older. She had light brown hair, green eyes, and pale skin. She was beautiful and she wondered if she was a demon. "Who are you?"
"Lady Kagome it is 8:30 A.M, and I am your permanent governess. My name is Jea. I am here to assist you. I am 25 years old and I am a human. Lord Sesshoumaru saved me from my burning village. In payback for his deed, I will be your governess. I will teach you lady manners, assist you in whatever you may need help in, and remind you in what you have to do. But I am not your servant. There are many servants around the building that will surely help you. Am I clear?" Jea said in a military like manner.
"Ha…hai Lady Jea. Do you want to be called something more specific? I hate calling you Lady Jea. It's so court like. I'm so afraid of you…but I would like to be your friend. It's so lonely without one. I left my best friend Sango, to serve Sesshoumaru Sama. I'm not sure what my purpose is." Kagome said unsteadily, she was terrified of the way Jea spoke.
"Oh, Lady Kagome, I am so sorry for commanding you. I thought you were going to be all so…so…stubborn and that I had to talk to you in a reprimanding tone of voice. But really I'm not so cruel. And you can call me Jea. That's all. You know Sango?" Jea said in an unbelieving tone.
"Yes, why? Did you have an encounter with Sango, Jea?" Kagome asked.
"Of course! I was a demon exterminator before, we lived in the same village, but I moved two months before I heard of what happened to her village. I used to hate demons with a passion, the way they looked, their arrogance, their manners, basically everything, but I had an enchantment of their powers. Now I think differently. I'm so glad to be where I am. I'm so thankful for Sesshoumaru-sama. But isn't so cute? He's got the best features, his face is so beautiful, and his body, don't let me start talking! You're so lucky! I despise you! I think that the Master has interest in you. I used to be his so called "psychologist" and he used to spill all his problems to me. He says you drive his mind insane, that you are the most delicate and beautiful woman he's met, and that you stole his heart! One lucky girl you are! But you deserve it. You are a beautiful woman. Are…are…areyouavirgin?" Jea babbled.
Kagome blushed. "Jea you are too much! You're a beautiful girl! And yes I am a virgin…though most girls at 18 have kids." Kagome sighed. She never felt so lonely in her life. She dreaded her past. But she was glad that she had a protector and someone who wanted her. She felt so jealous of girls who have actually experienced love, even if they weren't lovebirds forever.
"Yeah, you are right. So many girls are bestowed to men as young as they were born, that happens in my village. They leave the comforts of their homes at the age of 14, oh so young. And some even have children that age! I'm so lucky that I didn't have to do that because I was a youkai exterminator. Ugh! Enough babbling. We need to get you dressed! We'll talk more later, after your done with your training and took a nice shower, eat lunch. You're a busy girl today. The master also said you will go to the tailor for new and better kimonos. You get to choose!"
"Yes, yes I am. And plus I must entertain the Master later." Kagome sighed yet again.
Kagome left the room onto the way to the spring.
