[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Sesshoumaru quickly made his way toward the village of Edo, quiet confidant that he would make it before Inuyasha’s pack left. He needed to speak with the infuriating Miko, without the distraction of his brash half brother or his mate.

He smirked as he made it to the edge of the forest, masking his aura perfectly. He watched curiously as the Miko waved off Inuyasha, Kikyo and the kit. They made there way quickly out of the village and Sesshoumaru would have sworn he saw a triumphant smirk on Kagome’s face as she turned and walked back into her hut.

Kagome smiled to herself as she flopped down onto her bed, pulling her soft warm blanket up over her body. Closing her eyes a blissful sigh escaped her lips.

“Miko.” Sesshoumaru’s cold voice rang out

“AHH” Kagome jumped at the sound of the Taiyoukai’s voice.

“What the hell Sesshoumaru!” she shot him a glare.

“Did you intend to lay in bed everyday in hopes that this nightmare would end?” he asked a sarcastic tone lingering in his voice.

“I was hoping you could go fall in love and whatever by yourself.” she grumbled.

“Hn. Fall in love with an onna who would not remember me in the morn? Highly unlikely Miko, even one with your limited intelligence should have thought of this.”

“You’re an ass Sesshoumaru” she seethed as she pulled the blankets back over her head.

“Miko.”

“Go away.”
“Miko”

“Go away.”

“Kagome.” he growled his patients.

“FINE!” she growled back, finally sitting up.

“What is it that you plan to do anyways Sesshoumaru?”

“Hn.”

“You are so frustrating.” she glared at him.

“Well get out so I can get dressed.”
Sending the Miko one finally look promising her a slow death should she return to bed, he exited the hut to wait for her.

‘Reduced to waiting for a pathetic human.’

Kagome emerged from her hut looking slightly flustered scanning the area for Sesshoumaru, her eyes finally landed on the well, he was casually leaning against.

“What’s the plan my lord?” she asked sarcastically.

Sesshoumaru studied the onna for a second before returning his gaze to the sky. For once the Taiyoukai was at a loss, he wasn’t sure what to do, where to go. He mulled it over in his mind before an idea clicked.

“Miko, come we’re going to see a witch.”

Kagome watched him carefully as she stood to follow him, he hadn’t sounded to pleased about going to see this “witch”. She couldn’t help but think of Tenshi.. She had decided to blame that one on Sesshoumaru, after all if he wanted the fairy caught, he should have spread the word a little farther.

The anger and frustration was practically rolling off the Taiyoukai in waves as they continued there walk toward a distant mountain. It was putting her on edge.

“Sesshoumaru-sama?”

Sesshoumaru’s eye brow quirked slightly, the sudden non sarcastic use of his title was unexpected, but welcome, maybe the Miko was learning her place.

“yes?” he answered.

“Is there something I should know about this witch we’re going to see..” she asked

“Hn”

“Seriously, am I going to die again today, I just want to prepare for it!” she huffed.

“I highly doubt you will “die” today Miko, unless you chose to annoy me further.”

Sticking her tongue out at the back of his arrogant head she decided she could be just as silent as he could.

Sesshoumaru smirked, he couldn’t help but wonder if it was healthy to gain this much pleasure from irritating the Miko.

They walked in silence for a short time before Kagome once again cracked.

“Sesshoumaru?”
“Yes Miko.” he sighed.

“Are we there yet?”

“Miko have I stopped walking and announced our arrival?”

“No, but..”

“Hn.”

“How much farther then?”

Sesshoumaru was sure he had felt his eye twitch..

“Not much farther.”

“oh.”

Finally after hours of walking they came to the base of the mountain.

Kagome hesitated as she looked toward the path, if you could even call it a path. She began fidgeting enviously as she looked on.

Sesshoumaru stopped sensing her worry.

“What is it.” he asked.

“That path doesn’t look safe..”

“You can not die here Kagome.”

“…yeah..”

“Stay close, you will not fall.”

“ok..”

Her nervous aura didn’t dissipate, he hadn’t expected it to, she didn’t trust him. Half way up the mountain the path began to thin even more.

“Sesshoumaru.. Why would she want her home to be so inaccessible..” she questioned.

“She doesn’t enjoy company.”

“oh..”

“Sesshoumaru..?& #8221;

“Miko…”

“never mind.”

The air began thinning quickly, as they drew closer and closer to the top. Kagome was having a hard time focusing, let alone making sure she was walking straight. Her head felt like it was spinning, but she refused to voice it to the cold Taiyoukai.

Forcing her feet to move she continued following him up farther into the mountain. She suddenly felt her mind grow foggy the sensation of falling jerking her body, but leaving her unable to react.

She felt something hard ram into her side, and briefly wondered if she had hit the bottom of the towering mountain.

“Miko.” an icy voice cut through her voice.

Kagome struggled to open her eyes, finally winning the internal battle. “Sesshoumaru??” she asked quietly.

He glared down at the infatuating Miko “Why did you not tell this Sesshoumaru you were struggling onna?” he half growled.

“Why would I do that!?” she yelled back, completely catching the demon off guard. “So you could just complain about weak humans and what pest we ar..”

Sesshoumaru silenced her the only way he knew how.

He dropped her.

“What the heck was that for!?” she screamed.

“We have arrived.”

Mumbled curses could be heard as she dusted herself off, ‘arrogant stuffy ice lord youkai and his superior attitude’

“If you are quite done Miko.”

Kagome shot a glare toward the Taiyoukai as she followed him toward a rickety old hut.

The air around the hut smelled interesting to say the least.. The scent of herbs and other unknown materials drifted through the cracks of the old hut. Sighing Sesshoumaru knocked on the door.

Cursing could be heard as the “clink” of vials hitting the floor sounded out. The poor excuse for a door opened up and a white haired extremely grumpy looking old Inu-youkai stepped out.

A smile grew across her face as she launched herself at the horrified demon lord. “OHHH my little sesshy-pup has come to visit his old aunt! I was starting to think you forgot about poor little old me up on this mountain!” she cried dramatically.

Kagome stood mouth agape as she watched the old Inu fuss over Sesshoumaru, a look of pure hatred and annoyance plastered on the stoic lords face.

“Onna.” he growled.

“Oh Sesshoumaru! It’s been years!” she clapped excitedly.

Kagome would have felt a little bad for him, but if he really hadn’t seen his own aunt in years.. It was his own fault.

“Woman stop this a once.”

The old woman stopped, a slight pout crossing her face.

“I know why you’re here Sesshoumaru.” she sighed.

“How is that possible.” Kagome asked.

The old Youkai looked Kagome over with a frown, after a moment of her intense scrutiny the old woman nodded in approval.

“Tenshi is an old friend of mine!” she chirped happily.

Sesshoumaru’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“You know of her trickery..” Sesshoumaru growled

“Calm down pup!” she smacked his arm in mock anger.

Kagome hid a giggle behind her hand, it was just to funny hearing the huge Taiyoukai referred to as ‘pup’.

“Tenshi is harmless, but I can’t help you, she made me promise, and I owe her a life debt, yes indeed I do!” she said nodding.

Sesshoumaru didn’t buy it. But if there was one thing Inu youkai didn’t do, it was questioning there elders.. As much as he hated it, his instincts wouldn’t allow it.

“Very well.” he growled again.

Kagome said her goodbyes politely as Sesshoumaru began to storm down the mountain, even more anger wiping out around him. Catching up to him, Kagome couldn’t help but giggle.
“Do tell what you find so funny Miko.” he snarled.

“Oh Sesshoumaru, its just, don’t you think that anyone that could have possibly helped us out of this mess.. Tenshi has already taken care of.. In one way or another.”

“Hn.”

It was possible, His own aunt had been swayed already. He wasn’t sure how much more he could take, it had only been three days and he was already on the verge of losing control of his demon.

“We rest here until.. We get sent back.” he growled.

“Oh.. Ok.”

Kagome sat down against a large rock, she wasn’t sure how to get out of this mess, the only known way was for Sesshoumaru to discover the things Tenshi had said. A sigh escaped her lips, she was suddenly getting very tired.

“Same plan tomorrow?” she asked

When he just stared at her, instead of answer she sighed shaking her had at his arrogance.

“I’ll play sick, again, I guess if you don’t show, I get to spend the whole day in bed!” she said with a smile.

Sesshoumaru watched as the girl drifted off to sleep, as if he would allow her to lay in bed all day while he was forced to deal with this!
