She was thankful that she hadn't been caught outside in a violent thunderstorm before. However, she would have been even more thankful if she hadn't been caught out in this one either. At home there was always a building nearby to take shelter in, but out here there wasn't so much as a tree to take shelter under. Inu Yasha had insisted that they travel over the mountain. “It will be faster,” he'd said. How she wished he was with her now. She would `sit' him so hard…. `Stupid Inu Yasha,' she thought. `Stupid mountain. Stupid storm!'

* * * * *

Spring! Why did it have to be spring? It was a most horrid season. Everywhere he went there was the smell of flowers and mating. It was the latter that annoyed him the most; demons, humans, and animals all giving in to their basal desires to procreate. It was disgusting and uncivilized. He had finally found refuge high in the mountains, above the tree line and away from any fornicating fauna.

And then the storm had hit.

She had come stumbling in, soaked and shivering. Her skin was pink and glowing from being pelted by the rain and hail. The odd haori that she wore clung to her skin and had become translucent. As she fell blindly into the small cave that he, himself, had taken to for shelter, his first thought was that his irritating half-brother was sure to be right behind her. To his relief and surprise the only hint of the hanyou was the fading scent he had left on her clothing. He watched as she settled just inside the cave entrance, oblivious to the fact that she was no longer alone.

* * * * *

She couldn't feel her arms or legs, or her face for that matter. Her skin was numb, but she had finally found something to shield her from the freezing wind kicked up by the storm. It was difficult to tell the size of the cave in the dark so, with one hand on the wall, she moved only far enough inside to be sheltered. As Kagome turned to face the opening she felt herself pulled back, farther from the entrance. Her scream was drowned out by a deafening crack of thunder and the sound of falling rocks.

* * * * *

He could smell the charge build before the lightning struck. Without knowing what possessed him, Sesshoumaru grabbed the waistband of the indecently short skirt before him. The bolt didn't just hit, it shattered the rocks that formed the opening in the mountain side. He had saved her but had no idea why. The cave quickly filled with the scent of fear. The intoxicating smell enveloped him as it filled the small space. It became more delicious as she was consumed by a slow building panic. He remembered that this human had spiritual powers and realized that the panic was being caused by the presence of his strong demonic aura. Her trembling arms stretched out in the darkness to find the tumbled boulders that now blocked her escape. Her panic crested and he inhaled deeply. Her fear made the air thick and satisfying, and he found that he wanted more.

* * * * *

Why hadn't she stopped to check the cave before carelessly rushing in? Stupid one-track mind. Stupid storm, separating her from the others and soaking her until all she could think of was shelter from the cold wind. `And now I'm trapped,' she thought. `Trapped in a cave with a demon and no way out.

`Kagome,' she chided herself, `the storm is not the only stupid one.'

* * * * *

She began to struggle to free her legs from the fallen rocks that pinned them. As she squirmed against his thighs, his youkia flared in response. `Stupid twisted fate,' he cursed. This was what he had come to the mountains to avoid.

He noticed that her fear had started to ebb, concentrating on freeing herself seem to calm her. This he could not allow. Moving his hand to hover above her shoulder he released a small drop of poison. She didn't scream as he would have liked, but with her concentration broken her fear returned.

* * * * *

She caught the faint glow of something over her shoulder only a moment before the searing pain. She bit down on her lip and inhaled sharply. `It's definitely a demon,' she thought, `a demon that I've met before, a demon that can produce a green glowing poison.' The thoughts spun round and round in her mind as she searched for the answer. Suddenly the revelation struck her as the demon behind her twisted its hand in her hair and pulled.

“Sesshoumaru!” The name exploded from her as her body was pulled flush with his.

“Yes?” He answered questioningly.

Kagome felt her body relax slightly, “Will you help me move these rocks so that we can get out of here?”

“No.”

“But-,” She didn't understand. He was just as trapped as she was.

The fear and panic that had come from her was quickly fading under the new emotions. This he found unacceptable.

Kagome felt her head pulled to the side to expose her neck.

“Do you think yourself safe with me, miko?” his voice rumbled through her.

She shuttered at the warmth of his breath next to her ear. `That's right,' she reminded herself, `he wasn't really an ally, and she really didn't know that much about him.'

Sesshoumaru inhaled deeply. Her heart was racing and filling the space with the pleasing scent of fear once again. He gripped her throat tightly and heard her gasp reflexively. `Good,' he thought, `fear me.'

Her fingers flew to his wrist and pulled in a futile attempt to free herself. Her body squirmed against him again, but this time he welcomed the struggling. Her panic spiked as his claws pierced the delicate flesh under them, drawing small droplets of blood. Without thinking, he bent to taste her. Kagome shivered as his lips pressed to her skin.

* * * * *

His heart was racing. If anything had happened to her Inu Yasha didn't know what he would do. He should have been carrying her, but they had been fighting again and he had taken off in search of shelter from the approaching storm. `If only,' he thought as he combed the mountain side for her. The lack of trees and shrubs was actually making it more difficult to track her. Finally, he caught her scent. It was faint and nearly washed away, but it was definitely Kagome. He followed it to a wall of fallen rocks.

`Please let her be inside and not underneath,' he begged.

* * * * *

Her heart pounded in her ears as his hand slid lower. His claws ran over her stomach occasionally piercing the fabric and causing her to flinch.

“Your friends have come for you.” His breath was cool against her heated flesh. He hadn't expected his tormenting to arouse her as it had, but the smell, mixed with the still present fear, had intrigued him.

It took her a moment to understand the words whispered in her ear. Her friends? Here? But…. She suddenly felt conflicted. The others were here to rescue her, but she was no longer sure if she wanted to be rescued.

“Kagome!” the pleading call came from beyond the rubble. “Kagome!”

As she recognized the young fox demon's voice her head began to clear.

“Lady Kagome, have you been harmed?” the monk's voice was full of concern.

“Ah…” she gave a quick look at the demon who's hand still rested on her stomach, “…no. Just a little stuck.”

Dropping his hand, Sesshoumaru ran his nails across her upper thigh. Kagome fought the urge to gasp, but squirmed against the firmness behind her. This is not how she needed Inu Yasha to find her, pinned against his full demon half-brother and hopelessly flustered.

Sesshoumaru could hear her companions digging through the rock wall and realized that if he was going to do this he would have to do it quickly. “Lean forward, miko.”

Trembling, Kagome obeyed.

Carefully slipping his fingers between her legs, he pulled up quickly. A surprised squeak escaped her before she realized that her legs had been freed. Breathing deeply to calm herself, Kagome began to climb towards the small hole her friends' voices had come from.

* * * * *

Inu Yasha paused as a hand reached through the opening they had created before doubling his efforts. They'd found her and she was alright. As soon as he judged the hole big enough for her to fit through, Inu Yasha grabbed the protruding wrist and pulled. Kagome blinked as she tried to adjust to the light outside the cave.

“Thank you.” She smiled, not sure if she was really happy.

“Lady Kagome,” Miroku questioned as he offered his hand to steady her, “are you sure that you are unharmed?”

Following his eyes, she spotted the tears in her school uniform. “Ah…yay…” Kagome stuttered as her heart skipped. “Stupid rocks.”

Listening from inside the cave, Sesshoumaru fought the urge to smile. “Stupid spring.”
