Chapter 8: More Trouble

I woke up warm, very warm. I cracked an eye open to see Sesshoumaru dozing next to me, and that I was curled up beside him, his tail wrapped around me possessively.

My eyes widened and I sweatdropped.

`How the heck did I get in this position?' I thought.

I watched him sleep and suddenly got an idea. I got up slowly and reached for his hair. I grabbed a strand. He didn't seem to notice and slept quietly. I started to braid it.

***

I had gotten to most of his hair, but there was some that was wedged between the tree and his back that I couldn't get to. I prodded him in the side lightly.

He grumbled something and rolled over.

"Perfect!" I whispered.

I started to braid the other strands.

***

Kagome shook me awake. I opened an eye to see her smiling brightly down on me.

"What did you do?" I asked her, immediately suspicious.

She smiled. "Go look."

I walked to a small pond and looked at my reflection. My left eye twitched as I picked up a braided strand of hair and looked at it with disgust.

"What the hell did you do to my hair?" I asked in a dangerously low whisper.

"What? You don't like it? I think it looks good on you!" she said pretending to be hurt.

"Okay wench, take this out at once if you don't want your head over there." I said pointing at the other end of the pond.

"Okay." She said. She walked over and began to undo the tiny braids she had put in my hair.

***

"Okay, done. Puff ball." She giggled.

I scowled at her and went back to the pond, and my hair was FRIZZY.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HAIR?!" I asked her, enraged.

She looked at me. "Oh that? Sorry, I can't fix that! Besides! You look pretty. . ." I growled at her and combed my frizzled hair with my fingers.

It went down a bit. Not much.

I walked up to her and put a hand on her throat and tightened it.

"Try this again, and I will surely kill you." I whispered.

Somehow she kept a smile on her face and grabbed my hand.

Her hand burned a bright blue.

I let her go.

"Try that again, and you'll become mortal!" she said harshly.

I snarled.

"Let's go."

"Sesshoumaru, has it ever occurred to you that we haven't done anything since we left?" she asked.

I whirled around.

"Of course I know … " I growled.

`And I had second thoughts about this stupid wretch?' I thought rolling my golden eyes.

I turned around and continued trekking through the thick underbrush.

***

"Sesshoumaru! A HOT SPRING!" the stupid girl cried, tugging at the sleeve of my kimono.

I looked over to see a small hot spring to my right.

"I want to take a bath, and remember you're `promise'?" she asked me.

"Yes." I grunted.

"I'm going to get undressed behind that large rock." She said pointing to a rather large rock that bordered the water's edge.

"NO PEEKING!" she added.

I snorted.

`Who would?'

I just stripped and stepped in, my body immediately relaxing to the warm water's caress. I found a shallow area and sat on a smooth rock by the edge. I stretched my arms out to my sides and put my head back.

I heard a splash and looked over to see Kagome diving in.

I closed my eyes with disinterest and dunked my head underwater to wet my crazy hair.

"Ah! HENTAI!!" I heard a muffled scream.

Confused, I took my head out of the water to see Kagome at the other end of the spring, clutching at her chest and curled up in a ball.

I shot her a confused look.

"You were looking at me bathe underwater weren't you?" she asked savagely.

"No." I answered flatly.

"You asked me to join you anyways." I muttered sliding my eyes closed and running claws through my wavy hair.

She giggled. "I like your hair." She said.

I got up and stepped out.

"I'm going to dry off. I won't be far." I said over my bare shoulder. I snuck a glance at her.

Her eyes were screwed shut and she had her head turned.

I smirked and put on my kimono after shaking my body dry.

~*~

"Oh! Why does he do that?" I asked myself furiously after he had gotten up from the spring, revealing his delicious body to my prying eyes.

I got, mumbling furiously under my breath and began to shake myself off.

I put my kimono on and turned around, only to be met with a large wolf demon.

I stared at it, shocked.

`Wolf demons weren't supposed to be in recent Japan … unless …' I gasped.

"There HAS to be another portal!" I gasped.

`No time to think now Kagome!' I thought grabbing my bow and arrows.

It lunged.

I moved dodged the enraged attack and put an arrow in the bow I held.

It took me a while to aim, that was the problem.

By the time I had aimed, it was already on me.

Thinking quickly, I whipped out the stiletto Sesshoumaru had given me previously from the folds of my kimono and sliced its throat before it had bitten me.

I stood there, shaken and scared. I looked at the bloodied stiletto I held in my hand, and looked at the demon I had just slain. I backed away and ran towards the direction Sesshoumaru headed.

*Flashback*

"Here wench."

"What is it Fluffy?" I asked turning around.

"You can't die on the mission, so I'm giving you this to protect yourself in case that silly bow and arrow isn't quick enough to save your skin." He said handing me a stiletto.

I looked at the slim knife questionably.

"You'll need it. I won't always be there … Kagome."

*End Flashback*

"Man, he saved my skin again." I said aloud. I stopped shortly to wipe the wolf demon's blood off of the blade.

Wolf demon … demon ….

"DEMON!" I shouted.

I had known it was a demon because it had three eyes. But, weren't demon's supposed to be only in feudal Japan?

~*~

I was busy working with my frizzy hair when I heard Kagome tramp through the grass to get to the area I was sitting in.

"Jeez, can't you sit somewhere less complicated to get to?" she asked annoyed and panting as she came up to me.

I didn't answer.

"I saw a demon, it attacked, I killed it." she said breathlessly.

"What? Demon?" I asked, snapping to attention.

She nodded.

"Are you sure a demon?" I asked her.

"Yes! It had THREE eyes! There's no average wolf with three eyes." She said.

"This means there's a teleport somewhere and demons are coming through into this era … " I muttered.

Demons in a civilized world = mass chaos.

Not good.

Not good at all.

Even for stupid humans, they panic rather easily.

Kagome was standing there, watching we silently, worry plastered all over her face.

I heard a sniffle.

Surprised, I looked up to see a tear sliding down her cheek.

"I killed something Sesshou. I'm a murderer, I took a life!" she wailed.

I cringed at the sound. I panicked, wanting her to shut her mouth.

"But, it attacked you first, did it not?" I reasoned with her.

"True." She sniffled.

She stopped bawling her eyes out.

`Good.' I thought.

***

As we sat in camp that night, I couldn't sleep. For one thought nagged my mind.

Demons are once roaming the world again.

AN: There's chappy 8!! I'm sorry for delay. I'll be putting up chapters by the week. Every weekend, expect a new chappy! r/r!!
