It’s an awesome feeling when people like something you’ve worked so hard on so from now on I’m going to try my hardest to update at least once a week or so. : ) YOU GUYS ROCK!! SESS/KAG FOREVER!!!
Chapter 16 - Trying To Win Affection Is Difficult
Kagome’s brow twitched as she walked along silently at the back of the group, all day she was hearing growls and snarls; and seeing death glares from particular males directed at each other. She knew that inviting Sesshomaru to join the group was a big thing and that having Maoru tag along was going to cause some problems but this was ridiculous.
Suddenly Kagome stopped walking and waited for the others to notice over the glaring matches that she had stopped, which was a good five minutes when they could no longer see her and barely smell her. They hurried back along the road to see if she was alright, Sesshomaru simply sighed and walked back with the group. When they returned to where she had stopped a few of them stepped back in fear, including Maoru at what they saw; Kagome’s left shoulder was twitching while her face was shadowed with her bangs, and her miko energy crackled angrily around her showing the anger of it’s master.
“Oh shit…” Inuyasha said while turning to the rest of the group, “um… if you guys value your lives I kinna suggest you run, and I mean NOW!” Inuyasha said while running off along the road in the direction they were headed.
“What do you mean mutt face, I’ve got no reason to be afraid of my woman.” Kouga cockily replied, only to gain a large flare from Kagome’s aura as it singed his skin and with a yelp he fled after the running Hanyou.
“Um… Sesshomaru, do you think we should…” Maoru said looking at the twitching miko with her power flaring wildly around her; he looked at Sesshomaru and could see him barely containing his Youkai and with a swift nod from Sesshomaru they too fled.
(AN: Ok so people don’t think I’m getting OOC to much with this there is a point to why he fled, if his Youkai had risen to the surface then it would have done everything in it’s power to make the threatening power submit to him, even going as far as killing the source of the power and he needs Kagome so the only logical thing for him to do was to flee *pants* I hope that explains it)
When Kagome calmed she noticed she was standing in the middle of the road with Miroku, Sango, Kirara and Shippo staring at her with wide eyes; Kagome blinked in surprise and confusion, “What?”
“You do not remember what happened lady Kagome?” Miroku asked and Kagome shook her head.
“No I don’t; the last thing I remember was hearing growls and seeing the others glaring at each other and then it went black.” Kagome recalled, “It was just getting on my nerves, I mean why on earth were they growling at each other like that?” She asked with a huff and everything clicked into place with both Sango and Miroku.
“Isn’t it obvious Kagome?” Shippo asked from his perch on Sango’s shoulder and he shook his head when all Kagome did was tilt her head to the side in confusion, she would find out soon enough.
When they had finally caught up with the fleeing males they looked at her warily as she glared at them each in turn, before huffing and going to sit under a nearby tree.
Inuyasha walked over to Sango and grabbed the kit from her shoulder and pulled him up to face level, “What did she get so angry about?” he asked.
Mean while Shippo just hung there by the collar of his shirt and glared at Inuyasha, “Figure it out Inuyasha,” he whispered low enough for the humans not to hear but loud enough for the demons, “Kagome got angry because you were all growling at each other, although she doesn’t know the meaning behind the growls does she?” the young kit asked.
“What do you mean squirt?” Inuyasha asked, slightly confused; yes he had been growling, but so had Kouga, Maoru and even his brother had been growling.
“Those growls wether being done consciously or unconsciously; are meant to warn people to stay away from what is theirs. In other words Inuyasha you were all growling at each other to stay away from Kagome, that she belonged to you. Regardless of what you all may say or do; you all were staking claim over Kagome.” Shippo had stunned the Youkai in the group for two reasons; one was his wisdom at such a young age, while the second was the fact that none of them had noticed.
“Is that what she’s angry about?” Inuyasha asked
“No Inuyasha, she’s angry because she THINKS those growls meant something else; she knows nothing of Youkai society and it’s no surprise you don’t either since you were raised within human customs. She thinks those growls were meant as warnings yes, but that they were warnings daring each other to make one false move so you could fight.” Shippo thanked his father for all the time he had spent teaching him about Youkai courting and mating customs before he had perished at the hands of the thunder brothers.
“So she thinks we just want to rip each others throats out?” asked a bewildered Inuyasha.
“Precisely, however if you wish to get back in her good graces and this goes for all of you; I suggest you all try to get along, even while courting.” Shippo said his face more serious than Inuyasha had expected of the kit.
“COURTING!?” Inuyasha bellowed a bright scarlet staining his cheeks and then turned to see Kagome glaring at him as well as the rest of the group.
“Keep your voice down Inuyasha!” the kit hissed, “What I’m saying is regardless of what any of you think or say, the growling alone is enough to prove one thing; you all think Kagome is worthy to have as a mate.” That said the demons and Hanyou sat in quiet contemplation the rest of the night.
When morning had come Kagome had woken up to see a deer lying dead in front of her and she did what anyone would have done; she screamed.
“What wrong?” asked Inuyasha as he rushed back to camp to see Kagome as pale as snow with her pointing at something on the ground.
“Why was there a dead deer near me when I woke up!?” she screeched in fright, trying to calm her racing heart.
“I brought it.” Kouga said puffing out his chest, “I killed it for you.” He said grinning; this is how he was taught to court a female.
Kagome stood and walked over to him, Kouga thinking it was for a thank you for the deer was sorely mistaken as her hand connected with his cheek; and a loud crack was heard though out the camp.
“What kind of IDIOT would put a dead deer near a sleeping person as a gift!? Take it away NOW Kouga!” Kagome yelled at the crestfallen wolf Youkai.
Inuyasha snickered behind his sleave at the Wolfs misfortune and Kouga was about to swing a punch at said Hanyou but a little kit’s words came back to him ‘Iif you wish to get back in her good graces and this goes for all of you; I suggest you all try to get along, even while courting’ so he walked off dragging the dear behind him.
Later that day they had been walking for hours and Inuyasha figured he was try something to gain Kagome’s attention.
“Hey Kagome you look tired, wanna ride on my back for a while?” he asked, hopeful she would say yes.
“No thank you Inuyasha, I’m fine.” She said with a smile.
“But you look really tired, are you sure?” he pushed.
“No Inuyasha I’m really fine, I don’t need to be carried I have a lot left in me ya know.” She said with a small laugh.
“Yeah I know that, but what happens if you trip over something and land on your face?” Inuyasha said, he didn’t seem to get that he was digging his own grave.
Kagome twitched, “I’m not that clumsy Inuyasha, please I don’t want to ride on your back I’m fine walking.” She said getting annoyed.
“Keh, what are you talkin about, you’re the clumsiest person I know, now get on.” He said kneeling down in front of her.
Kagome’s twitch intensified, “Why you…” she took a breath to calm herself and looked down and Inuyasha, “Oh Inuyasha, SIT BOY!” she stepped over Inuyasha and kept in her way.
Inuyasha looked up to see two snickering demons and a seemingly uninterested Youkai lord, but his eyes gave him away this time as they danced with mirth; and all he could think of as he growled into the ground, was killing them all when the spell had warn off but Shippo’s words came back to him; ‘If you wish to get back in her good graces and this goes for all of you; I suggest you all try to get along, even while courting’ so he held his tongue and his need for bloodshed.
That night they all stopped for the night and Kagome in her usual routine went to the nearest hot springs to bathe.
“Ah… that’s better.” She sighed as she melted into the warm waters around her. She slipped under the water to wet her hair and rose to the surface to come face to face with Maoru; she stilled a scream.
“What are you doing here?!” she hissed.
“I’m protecting you while you bathe,” she said while blinking as if it was an every day occurrence.
“I don’t need protection now please leave,” Kagome asked calmly, her hands covering her chest reflexively even though they were underwater.
“But you are unarmed and in need of protection while you bathe.” Maoru countered.
Kagome counted to three, “What IS it with the demons of this group right now?! I DON’T need dead animals waking me up, I DON’T need to be babied while travelling and I DON’T need protection while I bathe! I can take care of myself now leave before I purify you!” she hissed.
Maoru backed away slowly from the hot springs and walked slowly back to camp to see Kouga and Inuyasha fighting which seemed to be the normal, the two humans were sitting by the fire while the kit was curled up by Sesshomaru’s dragon while Jaken tended to the beast; however, Sesshomaru was not in sight. After walking for a short distance he found Sesshomaru looking out over a cliff at the surrounding forest.
“What are you doing out here Sesshomaru?” Maoru asked as he walked to his long time friend.
“I am thinking Maoru, and I am tired of those fools falling over themselves for such an unworthy female.” He growled out.
“Do not try to fool yourself old friend, it is clear to see you wish to court her as well.” Maoru said staring at the scenery.
“What do you mean as well?” Sesshomaru asked, his body tense.
“I also wish to court her, and if you do not figure out soon that you too want her you will loose her.” Maoru said turning to the lord.
“Do as you wish Maoru, I do not want or need to court Kagome; now leave me be.” He growled out.
Maoru bowed to his long time friend and turned back towards camp with a smile on his face, ‘you may not realise it yet my friend, but she has captured your heart as well; jealousy can make us blind to that which we truly want.’ And with that last thought he blended into the forest as he made his way back to camp, leaving the demon lord to he thoughts.
