InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sesshoumaru, sit! ❯ We're Here! ( Chapter 11 )

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Are you alright?!" Rin hurried over to the horizontal figure on the floor. She was walking by the library when she saw him splat on his face.

He rose seconds later, snarling angrily. He walked to the window stiffly, nodding once at Rin. He was made angrier by the fact that his ward had seen that. The culprit was sitting with her friends on the ground, looking far too pleased with herself. He snarled again, tempted to go out there and apply a punishment she deserved. "Damned woman," he hissed.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?"

He turned to her, remembering the scrolls he was searching through before the `incident'. The papers had scattered on the floor. He scowled and moved to pick them up.

One particular scroll caught his eye. He looked at the words more closely and almost felt thankful to the woman…almost.

He sat down and began to read. Rin blinked and shrugged, skipping out. At least her Sesshoumaru-sama seemed alright. 

-------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha was perched up in a tree as usual, keeping a wary eye on his surroundings. The girls were below, laughing one minute and serious the next, depending on the topic of discussion.

Amaya told her friend everything, editing the `sit' parts. She told of how Sesshoumaru tried not to kill Kouga, getting injured in the process.

"I had no idea Sesshoumaru-sama was so…considerate."

"Keh! He's a fool. I don't see why he kept that flea-bag alive, anyway. And without transforming, he's lucky his neck is still attached."

Kagome glared up at him. "Inuyasha, that's terrible. First of all, Kouga's our friend, and secondly, your brother is stronger than that."

"Kouga is not my friend," he spat. "You're the one who keeps flirting with him. I'd rather skin his ugly face than look at him."

Kagome was turning red with anger. "I don't flirt with him, you jerk!"

The hanyou cringed and prayed she wouldn't say the `word'.

Amaya chuckled. "I think Kouga's really cute." Inuyasha looked down at her with disgust and she laughed. "You, too."

"Keh!"

"And Miroku," she added in an afterthought.

"Feh. You like everyone! Next you'll be telling me you like that cur, Sesshoumaru."

She blushed. "Err…well, he's…he's not too bad." Man, was that an understatement. When it came to looks, he was gorgeous. The best of them all.

Inuyasha stared at her and laughed. "You do like all the boys! You're even worse than Kagome!"

"OSUWARI!"

"Argh!" He fell from the branch and crashed next to the girls.

"Baka! You keep saying that because you're jealous of Kouga! Anyway, he's the one who flirts with me."

He came out of the hole he made, spitting dirt and glaring at the young miko. "I'm not jealous of him! He's nothing compared to me!"

"Stupidity-wise," Kagome muttered angrily and Amaya chuckled.

"I heard that!"

For hours they stayed like that, Amaya and Kagome relating the happenings to each other. Inuyahsa, meanwhile, was dosing off on some other tree. Amaya learned that they were still looking for the evil demon Naraku. Kagome told her about him and what he had done to her friends, and how he was always messing with people's lives. Some demons had sensed him to the east, but Kagome had insisted on seeing how her friend was doing before going anywhere.

"Is there something going on between you two?"

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Amaya frowned.

"You know…you and lord Sesshoumaru." Kagome looked at her intently.

"Kagome! No! He's just keeping me so I wouldn't-" She clapped her hand over her mouth in horror. No telling what the man might do to them if he found out they knew.

"Wouldn't what?"

"Err…I…I can't tell you yet." Honesty was the best way to go right now.

"But why! I still can't understand why he took you, or why you're still here…It's driving me crazy!" She grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

Amaya sighed. "I know it's hard, but trust me. I promise to tell you later." When it's all over. "I know what I'm doing." Sorta'.

Kagome only sighed in return and nodded. She couldn't do much else. "So, do you want to leave now? I'll drop you off at home and you can make something up to your parents."

Another chance to get out of here…and I don't want to go. The thought went through her so strongly she gasped.

"Amaya?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" she rubbed her chest lightly, willing her erratic heartbeats to calm. I must really like it here. "Kagome, I don't feel ready to go just yet."

"What! Why?"

"Uh, don't ask me that, Kagome. Just trust me, ok?" I don't know why.

Her brown-eyed friend stared at her for a moment then nodded. "Of course I will. But be careful, okay? It's dangerous in the feudal era." She placed a hand on Amaya's shoulder.

The latter smiled and nodded.
