Chapter 7: Confusion
I looked down at the girl in my arms.
"Oops, did I just say that? I'm sorry; I'm a little delirious right now. . ." she said hopping down from my arms and blushing furiously.
I watched her walk into the dense forest.
"Kagome?" I asked aloud.
I followed her but in the tree tops so she wouldn't sense me following her.
`Why did she just say that?' I thought. `She MUST have been delirious, it's impossible that she, a mere human, could like me!'
I chuckled at the thought of it.
My smirk faded as a new and disturbing thought made its way into my mind.
`But what if she does like you for real?' that small and annoying voice said.
I shook my head.
`That's impossible.'
`Then why do you deny it so?' it asked.
`Because, it's not true!' I argued. `She's just a human, she's not worthy of any kind feelings from me.' I thought.
`But what makes Rin so special? After all, she's a human, just like Kagome.'
"Rin." I whispered.
I _had_ to know how she was doing, it was driving me crazy that I couldn't see her. I hoped Jakken was taking good care of her; otherwise I'd smack him halfway across Japan.
Of course I'd never admit my feelings toward this small human to anybody other than myself. Not that I liked admittance either.
I followed Kagome to what seemed a hot spring. She started to undress.
"Woops." I muttered turning around in the trees and finding a comfortable position to sit in while she bathed.
"I wonder what Sesshoumaru is doing right now?" she asked aloud.
She looked around and looked into the treetops, but I was facing away from her. Yet she still screamed.
"HENTAI!!! AHH! HENTAI!!"
I waved a hand in her direction not bothering to turn around and look at her.
"I'm just making sure some water demon doesn't attack you, plus, I'm planning on bathing when you're done. But I'm not going to peek."
I scoffed. "Why would I want to?" I asked her.
"Why you-" she never finished the sentence and huffed.
"Ugh!" she growled and dunked her head underwater, I could hear the gurgling as she probably screamed.
I snorted and turned around only to see a large amount of bubbles popping the surface.
I turned back around and heard her resurface.
"Can you hurry up and get out?" I asked her annoyed.
She huffed again and got her kimono.
"Turn around!" she ordered.
I rolled my eyes, I already was. Not like I was planning to look.
I heard her shake water off of her body and put on her kimono.
"Okay. I'm done."
I turned around and faced the water's edge.
"Don't wander off, I don't you killed. Just stay close. I don't care if you peek or not." I muttered to her stripping myself of my kimono and walking into the hot spring. I found a nice smooth rock to sit on by the water's edge and I leaned back against the side.
I closed my eyes and relaxed into the warm water that enveloped me.
I heard a rustle in the bushes beside me. I opened an eye and sniffed the air. There was a demon around.
I jumped out of the water and put on my kimono, while I was tying up the sash, I heard a scream.
"Kagome." I whispered breathlessly.
I dashed to the small clearing I was at a few minutes ago in the blink of an eye.
I saw a large dragon demon slash at her with its claws. She was armed with her Miko powers and her bow and arrow. I decided to watch. If things got out of hand, I'd step in.
She aimed and shot an arrow. It buried itself deep within it's shoulder. It roared and blew flames at her, but she had put herself into a bubble, and flames rebounded sideways. I saw her flinch as the flames collided hard into the bubble's wall, but she held up her defense.
A part of me wanted to help. Another part of me didn't.
Internal conflict here.
`She needs to strengthen her Miko powers.' One side reasoned.
`She's going to die!'
The side with watching overcame me and I just stood back.
She gathered a ball of ice in her hands and hurled it at the demon.
It roared in pain and rage and charged.
I saw her amber eyes widen as the dragon got closer and closer to her.
I jumped in and swiped at the demon with a deft blow with my poison claws.
It fell to the ground, decapitated and lifeless.
"Sesshoumaru!" she yelled running to me.
I just stood there wiping dragon blood from my hand.
I didn't even notice there were tears coming from her eyes.
She hugged me.
`Not again.' I thought standing there, looking down at her and not returning the hug she was giving me.
She buried her face into my chest.
"Kagome." I started trying to pry her off of me.
"Sesshou, don't leave me again. It nearly killed me!" she wailed.
"And what about baths?" I asked her, getting too comfortable in her arms - something I didn't want.
"You can come in with me." she murmured. "I don't care."
I stiffened.
"W-What? No!" I almost shouted.
"Please?" she asked me.
`DON'T GIVE IN!' my head shouted at me.
`But you help Rin take baths. What makes Kagome so different?' another voice asked.
"I-I can't. It's not right." I said softly.
"But wouldn't it be much easier if we just took baths at the same time? Look what almost happened to me!"
`That's a good reason.' I thought.
"Okay." I grumbled.
"Yay!" she shrieked.
I winced.
"Let's go human."
"HUMAN HAS A NAME PUFF BALL!" she yelled.
"Here we go again. . ." I muttered.
"Okay Kagome, let's go."
"Sesshoumaru, I'm hungry."
I sighed.
"Go catch something with your bow and arrow. I'll start a fire."
"Be careful since the Shikon no Tama is embedded in you again." I said after her.
"I will. If I need help, I'll yell."
Reassured, I started to gather up branches for a fire.
*** Elsewhere ***
Soft moans and grunts could be heard from deep within the forest. (AN: NO there is NOT _THAT_ going on!)
"Inu! Stop!" Kikyo cried as she tried to pry a lustful hanyou off of her.
"But you're so damn sexy." He muttered between kisses to her face.
Kikyo giggled and shifted under his weight.
"We are supposed to look for holes in the floor." She muttered.
"Make something up." Inu Yasha said as he nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck.
"I can't do that." Kikyo said turning her face away and looking at the forest around her.
"Oh, but we can. . ." he growled.
"But what about that-that cave we saw?" Kikyo said between gasps.
"The hell with that cave! Let that Kagome bitch find her own portal."
"Hey!" Kikyo shouted shoving Inu Yasha off of her.
"Kagome's my friend, and I want to get back as much as everyone else. I came out here to HELP not to make out with you and lose my virginity!" Kikyo said getting up and tying the sash of her kimono up.
Inu Yasha was shocked.
"You-You actually want to HELP?" he asked, stunned.
"Inu, as much as I love you, I want to go back. I don't think I should be on earth anymore. My time was up. I only came back because you all were in trouble. . ." she said, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
"Oh Kikyo, I just missed you so much. . .I've always wanted to do this with you." Inu Yasha said hugging her.
"Well, I guess I can spare some time AFTER we get back to get down and dirty." Kikyo said with a mischievous glint her eyes.
"Deal! You better keep that too!" he said getting up.
"Oh! I will. . .I will. . ."
*** Somewhere Else ***
"Get away from me! Remember, 10 feet away! Or you will meet Hiraikotsu!!" Sango snapped at Miroku, who was warily following ten feet behind.
"Sango, don't you think 4 feet is good enough?" Shippo asked her.
"What? So he can feel me up whenever he has the chance?" Sango asked, holding her giant boomerang up.
"You think I'm like that?" Miroku asked her, slightly hurt.
Sango looked at him and smiled. "Yes I know you're like that! Now come on, move faster!"
The odd group moved a bit faster and disappeared into the sunset.
*** Back to Where We Came From ***
I sat there, staring into the fire. Kagome was already asleep, and I was thinking about what she said.
"I like it here with you. . ." her voice rang inside my head, bounced off the walls, and reverberated back in my brain. Her words were emblazed in my mind, the image of her hugging me and snuggling into my chest replayed over and over.
`What does this all mean?' I thought sitting there next to the dying ashes of the fire.
I looked at Kagome, sleeping quietly beside me and thought about her actions that made me want to go back into her arms.
Confusing.
A cold gust of wind blew. She shivered.
"Sesshou. . ." she murmured weakly.
I looked at her intently.
She shivered again and reached a hand out in my direction. I just sat there and watched has her hand found mine.
She held it tightly and moved closer, snuggling up into my side.
She peeked an eye open to look at me.
"Hi." She mumbled.
"Hi." I said softly. She confused me again.
"Cold." She said shivering. Then she grabbed my tail and wrapped it around herself.
Stroking the soft fur, she fell asleep again.
I sighed. She was one confusing human.
