On a Wing & a Prayer

Part XIV: Kyoko's Confusion

It had taken a few hours, but Sesshomaru and Gina had finally reached the castle. Seeing it when she was conscious was quite impressive, since she hadn't really seen it. The demon lord set Gina down on the ground, rolling his shoulder. "Gods," he complained jokingly, "You're heavy. Have you gained weight?"

Gina scowled a little. "Shut up!" she said. Smiling a little, Sesshomaru leaned down, planting yet another soft kiss on her lips. Gina gave a slight giggle, but soon pulled away. "You just don't know how to hold yourself back," she said gently, smiling. He kissed her again, smiling as well. "No, I really don't," he replied. He pulled away, grabbing onto her hand. "Come now, my servants probably think I'm dead," he said jokingly, "Especially that little toad Jaken."

About ten minutes later, they were once again in the cold stone castle. As Sesshomaru walked down the hall, his usual proud and smug look on his face that he usually wore, but he also wore Gina around his arm. A moment later, the kitsune servant Kyoko began walking down the hall, carrying a large stack of linens. When she saw the couple walking own the large hallway, her jaw dropped.

"Lord Sesshomaru…?" she asked, sputtering a little. Seeing that she had caught Sesshomaru and Gina's attention, she ran into the nearest room and set her pile of wash down somewhere, and then quickly walked back outside. She walked, nearly jogging, over to them, giving her master an odd look. "Milord…" she started cynically, "I thought that you were taking young Lady Gina here back to her home."

"Yes, well," Sesshomaru started, hugging the young princess closer to him, "There's been a slight change of plan." At this point, the odd little toad demon Jaken had walked up behind Kyoko, eyeing both his master and the girl in his arm. Kyoko simply raised an eyebrow. "Um…milord, may I speak to for a moment?" she asked cynically. The demon lord sighed, sounding quite annoyed, when Kyoko gave yet another look, a look that spoke simply: Just you.

Sesshomaru looked down at Gina for a moment, scowling sharply. "Will you excuse me for a moment?" he asked. Gina gave a slight smile, nodding. As Sesshomaru walked a few yards down the hall with Kyoko, Gina glanced down at the little toad. "She's acts like a big sister around him. Is she his ex or something?" she asked quizzically. Jaken shut his eyes, shaking his head slightly. "No, that little wench is just loud-mouthed and nosy."

"What's going on between you two?!" Kyoko demanded in a loud whisper. "You're lucky I don't slice you into shreds," he replied acidly. "Answer me! How far have you two gone…?" she said, gasping as something came to her, "You evil little cretin! You knocked her up when you were supposed to be taking her back to her fiancé! Didn't you!? Didn't you!"

Sesshomaru gaped and scowled all at the same time. "You wouldn't dare think that I'd do that!" he yelled. Of course, neither of them noticed that Gina and Jaken had been listening. "Do you actually think that I would do something like that?!!!" Gina yelled angrily. Kyoko laughed innocently, rubbing the back of her head. "Heh heh heh…guess I jumped the shark a bit there, heh heh," she said, turning, "Well, I guess I should leave you two lovers alone!" With that, Kyoko quickly walked off, leaving Jaken with a very confused look on his face.

"Lovers, milord?" he asked, seeming a little shell-shocked. Sesshomaru simply gave him a sly smile before kissing Gina on the head. "That's none of your business," he replied mockingly. Gian then yawned a little. "Sesshomaru, I'm a little tired, I think I'm gonna go lay down for a bit," she said, snuggling against him. He smiled a bit, kissing her again. "Of course." With that, he led her down the hall, leaving a lightly-stunned Jaken behind.
