InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Call it fate ❯ Made for each other ( Chapter 2 )

KC: I'm back to write chapter two! In all honesty, I've never received that many reviews in one day so I just had to update! I'll post reviewer responses at the bottom of the chapter.

 

He hadn't expected her to follow him this far. They had passed several villages she could have stayed in but she continued to follow him, not saying a word though it was obvious she wanted to. “If you have something to say then say it.” He said suddenly, causing Kagome to jump. “O-okay. I was wondering about your clothes.” She started and he turned to look at her. “They're really nice and expensive looking, are you someone really important?” She asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.

 

“My father is the daiyoukai of these lands, I'm his heir.” He said, “These clothes represent my high status as his son, but it can be a bother because many youkai wish to overthrow him and that makes me a liability at times, even if he never says that.” He had decided early on that this girl would be full of questions so he was going to give a more full explanation than he normally would.

 

“Wow, that's amazing! My Jii-chan always told me about youkai and daiyoukai but I thought he was being crazy like he always is.” She said, jogging up to walk beside him. “Why wouldn't you know about youkai? We're everywhere.” Was the girl just stupid? There was the possibility she was a foreigner, her attire was strange, as was her way of talking. “Where I live, there's only humans, youkai are just a myth.” She said, giving him a toothy smile. “Where are you from then…girl?” He hadn't even asked her name he realized. She seemed to realize this to and looked at him again, “My name is Higurashi Kagome, Sesshoumaru-san. And I'm from Tokyo!” She said, smile never leaving her face.

 

`She has a family name? Only wealthy ningin families or nobility were allowed family names. And what is this Tokyo? This girl certainly is odd. And did she call me Sesshoumaru-san?' Sesshoumaru thought as she stopped to pick a flower.

 

The two continued to ask each other questions about themselves and their families until nightfall. “It's getting dark, if we hurry we can make it to camp within the hour.” Sesshoumaru said, more to himself than Kagome. `Camp? Is he staying somewhere? I hope he lets me stay with him, I don't want to stay out here all by myself.' Kagome thought as her companion spoke. As if reading her thoughts, Sesshoumaru turned to her. “You'll stay with me, it's not safe for a ningin out here alone.” She nodded gratefully and followed him as he led her at a faster pace further into the forest.

 

Soon they could see the distant light of a campfire in a clearing. Sniffing the air, Sesshoumaru nodded, “We're almost there, come on.” He said and took her wrist, pulling her through the dense foliage so she wouldn't get lost. Slowing down as they neared the clearing, Sesshoumaru stopped to compose himself a little, he pointed to her and she took that as a sign to fix herself up as well. Using her fingers as a comb, Kagome managed to untangle most of her hair and smoothed out the wrinkles in her blue dress and jacket. Nodding his approval, Sesshoumaru led her into the clearing.

 

“Sesshoumaru!” A deep voice called out. “Chichi-ue!” Sesshoumaru exclaimed, motioning for Kagome to stay put as he went to his father. Inu no Taishou patted his son on the head with a warm smile before turning his attention to a nervous Kagome. “Well who are you?” He asked Kagome kindly. “H-Higurashi K-Kagome.” She stuttered remembering Sesshoumaru telling her how important he was. “Well Kagome, don't just stand there where it's cold, come over here and warm up.” She nodded and joined him and Sesshoumaru, feeling less nervous after seeing how kind he was.

 

Inu no Taisho asked Kagome questions about herself and where she was from and she answered as best as she could and vice versa. Everything he told her fascinated Kagome and it showed on her face while the things she told him and Sesshoumaru about her time amazed them, though they didn't let it show as much.

 

Before he had realized what happened, Kagome was leaning against Sesshoumaru half-asleep. “Chichi-ue, what do I do?” He asked, looking quite perplexed. His father chuckled, “Let her sleep, I'm sure she's exhausted from such an eventful day.” He said, which of course brought a look of pure horror to Sesshoumaru's face. He was about to protest when Kagome snuggled against his fur, hugging it against her and muttering “Fluffy”. His father had to suppress a laugh as Sesshoumaru's right eye began to twitch. “Now Sesshoumaru, relax and get some rest.” He said as he put out the fire.

 

 

Morning

 

Sesshoumaru slept for barely three hours that night, staying in his sitting position the entire time, rigid as a rock. Kagome on the other hand, seemed well rested it the morning and full of renewed energy.

 

By mid-morning the three were traveling, Inu no Taishou telling them he was taking them back to his home while he patrolled his lands. “It's not like a castle your nobility have” He said to Kagome, “But, it is a good home.”

 

It was a two-day journey, during which Kagome would follow Sesshoumaru around like a puppy, which he didn't seem to mind. Inu no Taisho chuckled as he watched Sesshoumaru sit Kagome on the ground and walk off, only for her to chase after him again. “Those two seem made for each other.” He said to himself as Sesshoumaru and Kagome repeated the process again.

 

 

The last night before arriving at the castle, while his father was scouting the area, Sesshoumaru leaned against a tree to relax, the girl could be tiring, yet he still enjoyed his time with her. Just as he was getting comfortable, Kagome sat right next to him, curling up beside him and almost instantly falling asleep, barely managing a “ `Night Sess-kun”. He stared at her for a moment before shrugging and falling asleep as well.

 

Only minutes later did Inu no Taishou return. He gently patted Kagome head and put out the fire and moved to his side of the camp to keep guard over his child and Kagome. By now he was sure the little Kagome and his son would end up together in the future, he just hoped he'd still be around to see it happen.

 

And that is chapter two. I had to end it here (though I wanted to continue) because it just seemed to scream `End it!!' at me. Plus my muse, Nyra, ran off and I can't find her. It really sucks that Inu-papa doesn't have a name, just a title: and no his name is NOT InuTaishou, I've seen that in so many fics and it drives me crazy. They call him Inu no Taishou, meaning Dog General (or leader of the dogs if you want to stretch it).
