PS- If you see (~*Then something inside.*~), it's me talking

 

 

Breathe (With Me Sesshomaru) - I love you Sesshomaru!

 

 

Inuyasha ran through the forest with the others right behind him on Kirara. He led them right to the spot that he lost Kagome's scent. He noticed that Sesshomaru's scent had grown, almost as if the Demon Lord had come back to this same area. The hanyou shook off the thought a bit and focused on the direction that led farther into the forest.

 

“Inuyasha?” Shippo asked.

 

He turned around to look at the kitsune.

 

“Will we find her safe?”

 

Inuyasha turned back around, lowering his head and then lifting it to catch his brother's scent. “I don't know Shippo. I honestly don't know.”

 

 

(~*Isn't he out of character…well, I don't really have much of a choice but to put him a little out of character!*~)

 

 

Kagome found one of the butlers and asked if he could lead her to the door that would take her to the garden.

 

“Right this way, Lady Kagome,” he said. He led her down a hallway that had the same gray stone walls, but with dark brown wooden floors and dark brown wooden doors lining the hall. Each hand made door had golden handles. The man took a left, into a small corridor, and stopped in front of a door with a glass top section. The clear glass was separated by thin wooden strips making a 12 grid glass look. Right to the left of the butler was another door.

 

“This door, Lady Kagome,” he said as he pointed to the other door. “…places you right into the cooking area. And this door…” He opened the door with the glass outwards. “…is the way to the garden.”

 

He stepped aside so Kagome could see. She gasped at how beautiful it was. Huge trees, covered in green leaves were everywhere. Wildflowers of all different colors covered the ground. Gray flagstone made a path through the garden.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru has named this `The Garden of Tranquility and Life'. His mother picked out most of the flowers here. Except for a few of the vine plants. Master Inu-Tasho himself brought those here and had them planted. Some of these plants are literally hundreds of years old.”

 

Kagome admired everything. She loved that even though the trees created a nice dense shade over the garden, that there was still a grand amount of sunlight.

 

“Well, Lady Kagome. I hope you enjoy your time in the garden. If you need anything, just give me a ring or call. My name's Teraku.”

 

“Thank you,” she said as she stepped onto the path and started walking down into the plants. Teraku smiled and closed the door gently, as not to disturb her. He turned to return to his corridors until he was needed again, to see someone in front of him.

 

“M-My Lord,” he said shakily. He quickly regained from his shock and bowed slightly, watching as the Demon Lord waved his hand and nodded him off. “Lady Kagome likes the garden, My Lord.”

 

“This Sesshomaru can tell,” Sesshomaru said. “Teraku, did you tell her to call for you if she needed help?”

 

The butler gulped and then nodded. “Yes, My Lord. I told Lady Kagome if she needed any further assistance to call on me.”

 

“Good. I am appointing you to her staff while she is here. You along with Misa and Yori will take care of Lady Kagome.”

 

“Yes, My Lord.”

 

“You are dismissed.”

 

“Thank you, My Lord.” Teraku bowed again and passed by Lord Sesshomaru. He made his way back to his room. A grin broke across his face as he walked. He now was getting to take care of the only woman that Lord Sesshomaru ever wanted his servants to call `Lady'.

 

 

(~* **Dum, dum, dum!** -lol-*~)

(~*Back to the others!*~)

 

 

Inuyasha stood where he was, completely spaced out, trying to find the right direction. He decided on going farther to the west, and Kirara with her nose agreed. They went further, and further into the green trees and bushes. Even after about 5 minutes, they hadn't seen anything.

 

`Kagome…please be okay…' the hanyou thought.

 

 

(~*^_^ Now to Sesshomaru before he showed up behind Teraku!*~)

 

 

Sesshomaru had decided to go for a walk to see if Inuyasha had come looking for Kagome. He wanted to make sure that the hanyou, that was his half-brother, was coming for Kagome. As much as he was liking how the miko took care of Rin, and how much the staff really liked her, he still knew that Inuyasha would die before letting the miko stay too long in his, Sesshomaru's, home.

 

He stopped at the same place where he had found Kagome and noticed that Inuyasha's scent was there, like he had been there recently. Sesshomaru settled on staying so his scent would be stronger and Inuyasha would follow it back to the castle.

 

`I'll be happy when the miko is back with the hanyou,' he thought, and then. `No…Kagome…'

 

 

(~*What do you think is going on? Well, you'll just have to finish this chapter to find out!*~)

 

 

Kagome gazed around the garden. She had been outside for at least an hour to an hour and a half. Even with the heavy leaves coverage above she could still tell that the sun was almost all the way under the horizon. She didn't want to leave just yet. The garden was calming down her nerves and heart after having so many encounters with Sesshomaru lately.

 

And as if the Heavens were shining down on her, said demon opened the door to the garden and stepped onto the flagstone path. The miko didn't notice him at first; she was too spaced out looking at the big and gorgeous flowers next to the bench. The petals were in a spiral shape and a deep red, like a rose, but it had a center that was a deep purple color.

 

Kagome almost jumped out of her seat when she sensed his aura. She knew that he was staring at her, but she couldn't do anything about that. She tried to look like she wasn't bothered by this, but the demon still knew. He could sense that she was anxious and scared, but an excited scared. That part confused him.

 

“Miko Kagome,” he stated when he got within a few feet.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru,” she said back cleverly. She turned around to look him in the eye, but she couldn't help to blush. She instantly turned back to the flowers, heart racing.

 

“This Sesshomaru sees you like the Flowers of Tranquility and Life,” he said.

 

“Like the garden?” Kagome asked.

 

“Yes, my mother started planting and growing flowers and this one appeared. It didn't have a name and you can't find it anywhere else, so my mother named it after the garden.”

 

“They're pretty,” she whispered, still not looking at him.

 

`Just like you,' he thought. `Wait…did I just think that…?'

 

“Yes they are,” he managed to get out without his voice breaking. “The half-demon will be coming for you soon,” he said, changing the subject.

 

“How do you know?” she asked.

 

“This Sesshomaru left a trail for him to follow. He should find my castle by tomorrow.”

 

Kagome was stunned. Was she that much of a burden to him? That he just wanted to get rid of her? She was horrified.

 

“The garden's beautiful,” she said, changing the subject.

 

Sesshomaru could fell the sadness coming off of her, but he didn't know why.

 

“What is making you so depressed, miko?” he asked. “Don't you want to half-demon to come for you?”

Kagome sat there letting a small tear run down her face.

 

 

“I found you alone on my forest floor, why?”

“I had a fight with Inuyasha.”

“What could have made you so mad that even staying close to the half-breed wasn't an option?”

“I told Inuyasha the person I love.”

“You do not love the half-demon?”

“Not like that…”

 

Sesshomaru remembered the conversation he had had with her. She didn't want to go back because he would still be mad? Or was it because she couldn't face him again?

 

“Yes,” she said half-heartedly, quickly ridding her face of the tear. “I'll just miss being here a little. Rin and I have become closer.” It wasn't a complete lie that she said. She just talked around the part of her feelings about the demon lord that stood next to her.

 

“Oh,” Sesshomaru said. “Well, if we ever meet again, you and Rin can have some time with each other. This Sesshomaru will make sure.”

 

Kagome gave him a feeble smile and looked back at the flowers. She was surprised to see that the petals had turned white with red streaks through them. She let out a small gasp and Sesshomaru suppressed a chuckle.

 

“They change with the mood of the closest person to them,” he said. Kagome went wide-eyed. What did the colors of the flower mean?

 

“Even this Sesshomaru hasn't found out the meaning of the colors. Maybe one day, someone will.”

 

Kagome slowly nodded her head, still transfixed on the flower. It seemed to be talking to her…telling her something…but she didn't know what.

 

Sesshomaru noticed how she looked at the flower; the way her mouth slightly hung open and how her eyes would just looked at the flowers with such…

 

Darn it, he couldn't put a word to the face. She had a look of…darn. Maybe one day he could remember that word.

 

 

(~*Later on; with Inuyasha and the gang!*~)

 

 

Inuyasha and the others made it to Sesshomaru's castle. The old building was beautiful with its architecture and size, but both of those, also, made it seem very…repulsing. It felt like the building was saying bad things about you or could possibly kill you.

 

Inuyasha walked up to the clearing in front of the building, getting up the courage to go and get Kagome.

 

 

(~*Meanwhile, inside of the castle…*~)

 

 

Kagome and Sesshomaru had made it back inside. He knew that his half-brother wouldn't be much longer, so he had sent Misa to fetch her things. They stood in the entranceway of the castle, Sesshomaru having already told Kagome that Inuyasha was close.

 

She hadn't needed his input. She could feel Inuyasha's power about 3 miles away. She kept her mouth shut though and sat in the fancy chair that had the back to the door. Sesshomaru stood to her right, leaning on a column.

 

The entrance room of the castle was really a grand room. The ceiling was impossible to touch, unless you could really jump or fly. It was over 100 yards high Kagome had estimated…she knew it was less than that though.

 

There were 12 columns on each side of the hall. They went up to the balconies above. The floor was granite or marble, Kagome couldn't tell which and she didn't think it was possible for there to be either available in Feudal Japan.

 

The walls down here were white stone that had been smoothed down. Directly in front of the doors to the outside, about maybe 30 yards away, was the double stairway to the balconies and to some of the upstairs rooms.

 

The main doors appeared as though they reach the top of the ceiling, but they were just the regular size of a door. They were gold and had precious gems spread through them.

 

Kagome sat there in silence, not wanting to ruin anything or say something wrong. She didn't want Sesshomaru hating her.

 

Sesshomaru didn't speak. After everything that had happened in the last nearly 24 hours, he didn't want to suddenly blurt out something he shouldn't. He had a good way of hiding his feelings, but he had a secret problem of not keeping his thoughts to himself sometimes.

 

He smelt Inuyasha close, along with the others of the gang. He closed his eyes, silently sighed and got ready to hold back other things he wanted to say.

 

“The hanyou is close,” he said.

 

Kagome was slightly startled, and not listening. “Hum?” she asked.

 

“The half-demon is close.”

 

“Oh,” she said. She already knew that too. “Okay.”

 

When they both felt Inuyasha and the others just a few feet from the door, they fidgeted a bit. Kagome stood and stretched. Sesshomaru looked at her body for a moment. The curves of her bodice, the movement of her arms, the look of her…

 

Oh, God. He was doing it again. He was thinking in a way he shouldn't be. He shook it off and regained his composure.

 

“He's here,” he said.

 

“Yep,” she answered.

 

They were quiet. Kagome picked up her bag and walked over to Sesshomaru.

 

“Thank you for everything Lord Sesshomaru,” she said. “I'm in your debt.”

 

Sesshomaru was lost in the girl's eyes. Once again, he had to remind himself of the situation.

 

“This Sesshomaru was just doing what was needed,” he answered.

 

“Yes, but it saved my life; and for that, I am grateful.” Man, she was having such a hard time not just blurting out her feelings and throwing herself onto him that very moment. She only dreamed of his lips and now she was looking at them. Oh, how she wanted them on hers.

 

“I better go meet them outside.” She moved and picked up her bag, swinging it onto her shoulder. She didn't notice when the ribbon to her school uniform fell out of the small front pocket.

 

Sesshomaru watched as she walked on, not knowing the ribbon was on the floor. He moved and picked it up and called out to her.

 

“Miko,” he said. She turned to see him standing there with her ribbon. “You dropped this.”

 

She started her way back, but Sesshomaru was already on his way over to her. He stopped in front of her and handed it to her. Their skin brushed and Kagome let out a small gasp. She looked up at him, looking right into his golden eyes.

 

They stared at each other and time seemed to stop. They lost were lost in each others' eyes. Kagome tried to pull herself away to leave and Sesshomaru tried to get himself to blink or something so he could stop staring at the human girl in front of him.

 

 

(~*Outside with the crew*~)

 

 

Inuyasha walked up to the door. He reached for the knocker and banged it against the door a couple times.

(~*Uh-Oh, what will happen inside now?*~)

 

Kagome's mouth started to open. She was trying to stop herself from saying it; saying the wrong thing.

 

“Thank…you…” she said when she could get her mouth to move.

 

Sesshomaru almost answered her when the sound of the knocker echoed through the entranceway.

 

Kagome was about to move her mouth in a proper “thank you”, but the words that came out were the ones she hadn't wanted to say; the ones that were really the only thing in her mind.

 

“I love you, Sesshomaru!”

 

She clasped a hand over her mouth as soon as she knew what she had said. She couldn't believe she had said that. She hadn't meant it. Kagome finally looked away from him in guilt and regret.

 

Sesshomaru couldn't believe his ears, but that wasn't what he needed to hear from a human girl; especially a girl like her. He tried to ignore the flesh under his clothes that had come to life at her words.

 

“That is a feeling that this Sesshomaru doesn't understand or comprehend of human feelings,” he answered her. It was the truth. “Go Miko. The half-demon is waiting.”

 

Kagome turned away from him and made her way to the doors. She had never felt so bad in her life.

 

 

 

A/N: So…..Kagome has blurted out her feelings and Sesshomaru is denying anything for her. Now, I did warn of characters not being themselves, didn't I? I'll put more emphasis on Kagome's reasons behind her feelings and Inuyasha's. C'ya next time! ^_^
