InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silence ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Angeltiger: I MADE A BOO-BOO!

Inuyahsa: *holds ears* Would you stop that yelling woman? What did you do this time?

Angeltiger: I implied Sesshomaru had two hands in the last chapter. When he picked her up...oopsie... Well just pretend that didn't happen ok? He still only has one arm. Just imagine him dragging her off by her hair like some kind of cave man.

Sesshomaru: This Sesshomaru resents that.

Angeltiger: Get over it.

Disclaimers:

Angeltiger: *smiles evilly* Inuaysha and EVERYONE on the anime and/or magna, belong to me!!! All me!!!

Sesshomaru: You're going to regret that, I can already smell the lawyers coming after you.

Angeltiger: Shut up! *closes eyes* Let me bask in glory for now...

Silence
Ch. 3

Sesshomaru watched her from the chair next to the bed. Only an hour ago, he had wrapped her slashed ribs in bandages and clothed her in the fine robes Jakken brought from the temple of some village. They looked very similar to his own, only with a more femanine touch.

His servants had desperatly tried to discourage him from cleaning and and dressing the human girl himself, they said it was servants' work and he shouldn't get his hands dirty. But he had sent them away, tending to the girl's wounds and giving her ocasional sips of water when her breathing became dry.

Tossing, tourning, sweating. Are this girl's nightmares so intense? Sesshomaru couldn't help wondering what she was feeling. He couldn't relate, he'd either rudly turned away or killed any demon female that had tried to make a pass at him. Sadly, more endded up the latter than the former.

When she had started to stir, he found himself wondering what he was doing here. Well, not here, this was his house after all. But why had he helped her, given her fine clothes, and one of the best beds in her castle. Why hadn't he just left her there...Rin...Was it because she was so frightened, seeing that woman in such a state. No, there was something different about this human, like there was something different about Rin.

But what exactly was it? It couldn't be that she bathed on a regular basis, though that certainly helped, or that she smelled lovely, especially now. He found her scent rather enticing, however, he had much more restrain on himself...other than that of the wolf.

That wolf, why did he give in? It was easy to resist the allure of a human, especially if his half-brother could restrain himself for so long after being with her. There must be an unseen motive. She did have a nice figure, not exactly gorgeous, but exceptional. He should've been able to resist.

Maybe there was something deeper. Maybe he already knew the girl, Sesshomaru shook his head,

What does it matter to me? He wondered. Why am I letting humans plague my mind so often?

He stood when he heard her slowly sit up, eyes still closed. Quickly, silently, he sat on the edge of the bed, leaning in.

Normally he wouldn't come within 10ft. of a human, Jakken mused, strutting by. He had just finished tricking Rin to do his chores for him, and was now on a peaceful walk around the castle. First Rin, now this Kagome girl. What's with my master's sudden human fetish?

~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you sure?" Sango asked, eyes wide. What would Sesshomaru be doing here? She wondered.

"Yeah, I'm sure, and his scent is fresher than the wolf's." Inuyasha answered, half between a growl and a bark. What did you do with her Sesshomaru? Is this wolf an ally of yours?

"Come on, let's go." He got up from his crouch, nabbing the scraps of Kagome's skirt with an angry clawed hand.

"Were to?" Shippo asked, climbing on Miroku's shoulder.

He didn't answer, he just kept walking North, towards the mountains. A dead look in his eyes was all the others needed to know that they needed to 'shut up and follow'.

God I hope she's ok...Sango thought miserably.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hmmmm...I need to get up...Kagome thought, lifting herself painfully into a sitting position. She noticed she had bandages on her sides. He had a guilty concience huh? She thought sourly. She straightened out a bit more, eyes still closed, it hurt to open them. She froze when she felt silk slide easily aginst her leg. She reached down, sure enough, there was silk pants instead of her usual uniform.

What's going on? She wondered, feeling up to her stomach...still silk. Completely baffled, she opened her eyes slowly. Black silk dress pants were what greeted her eyes, with a creme colored top and sleeves that flared out a bit at the wrists.

This kinda looks like Sesshomaur's outfit, She noted, Exactly what's under his armor...only different colors.

She closed her eyes again when a moment of dizzyness overtook her. OK, she started, how did I end up in a fancy bed, with nice clothes that must have cost an arm and a leg? Obviously this house belongs to someone wealthy...the wolf?

She shuddered when she remembered the feral apperance, the way he carried himself, the way he...No, he was too wild to be a rich demon...then...who? She sighed, tilting her head, images dancing behind closed eyes. Well, as much as I'd like to rule out that possiblity, I'm afraid of any others-

She froze when she felt something-someone-land on the edge of the bed. Her thoughts raced and all she thought was the the wolf...coming back for more.

It didn't help when the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes were golden orbs. She couldn't help it.

She screamed.

~~~~~~~~~~

Where did she go? Kazuki wondered, nose searching the air for her scent. That girl smelled so wonderful, it was no wonder his enemy wanted her. Yes, he took her out of revenge, ha! But now he just wanted more. He had gotten to her first, and now he would do as he pleased. Maybe he would show his prize to his enemy personally. But first he would make her find the remains of the shards of the Shikon Jewel for him. Then he would flaunt her, and kill his enemy in the process.

The wolf snorted when he caught a few other scents. That must be the dog- face and his friends, he measured, looking at the empty spot where the girl was once lying. They must have taken her.

He bent over the spot they had occupied earlier that night, nose inches from the few specks of blood on the ground.

But don't worry, my Kagome, Kazuki licked his lips when he ran her name across his tounge. His golden eyes glinted with a tint of malace. He dipped a clawed finger into one of the bloody spots.

I'll find you again, He concluded, licking the wet finger.

I swear...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Angeltiger: *shivers* God...I'm sorry guys, even I thought that was nasty.

Inuyasha: *gags*

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

~~~~~~~~~

Sesshomaru tried not to jump at the sudden scream, and in the end, managed not to. Instead, he blinked, startled.

"Quiet girl!"

Kagome shup up immediatly.

"You are still a bit weak." he shook his head. "Weaker," he corrected. "Lie back down."

Kagome just stared at his eyes, they were almost exactly the same as the wolf's. She slid her gaze over sharp features that told her he was definatly not the wolf.

Sesshomaru? Before her mind registered what she was doing, she threw her arms around his torso, burying her face in his chest and crying. She was just so relieved to see someone, anyone, other than that monster.

Even though he tried not to, he did jump this time, not expecting her react this way when she saw his face. His normally blank face was a mixture of shock and disbelief. Before he knew what he was doing, his arm was already almost on her shoulder. Instead, he jerked his hand back like it was burnt. Turning his face into a scowl, he grabbed her shoulder and shoved her off of him.

It was all clear to her now, he'd saved her, why she couldn't figure out for the life of her, but he had. She looked down at the black silk of her pants, a dark mirror of Sesshomaur's own white ones, and carefully fingered a sleeve of the cream top.

"Did you-"

"I did."

She closed her eyes, drawing a deep breath, "Why?"

Silence...then, "I do not know."

Kagome opened her eyes, staring squarly in his.

"Thanks." She said lightly.

He rose, brushing the conversation away.

"You will sleep now," He instructed, "I will send someone up with your dinner in an hou-"

"But-"

He cast her a blank glance, making her shiver.

"Sleep." He commanded.

Finally realizing she wouldn't win, Kagome settled down under the covers.

"You may want to change into your night robe when you are ready to sleep for the night," the demon Lord advised, "Really that clothing isn't made for sleeping, and my castle tends to get cold at night." He continued, getting to the doorway.

"Sesshomaru?"

"What is it?"

"Why are you doing all this?"

"I told you I do not know. Now sleep."

She sat up, fidgeting with her hands. Well, if I'm being forced to be here, I might as well take advantage of it. I'm still a little tired, so I'll ask a lot of questions later. She nodded her head. Good plan.

"Sesshomaru?"

"What is it girl?"

"I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, but...um..."

"Out with it," he prodded quietly.

"Would you mind not sending Jakken?" She finished, looking up. "No offence or anything, but he really annoys me, and I don't want to be held responsible for anything that happens to him...accidently of course!"

He turned back to look at her, the smallest trace of a smile tugged at his lips, begging to be let out.

"You don't like Jakken?" He asked, curious.

"No," She answered flatly, disgust in her tone.

"Fine, he will not bring you dinner. But starting tomorrow morning, he will be waiting on you hand and foot."

".....WHAT?"

"I just saw him walk by, obviously he forced his chores on Rin again. Thus, is his punishment."

"Oh...great..."

He titled his head, didn't this girl just say she didn't want him, now she thought it was great? He didn't understand these humans.

"You will survive, now rest."

He was answered by the sound of silk sliding on silk as she tried to ger herself comfortable once again.

Once he was outside the room, he allowed himself a small smirk. Jakken was going to love this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angeltiger: So...what did you think?

Kagome: I'm confused...I just got raped...don't you think I'd be acting a bit more...depressed?

Angeltiger: That, my friend, is something you will have to figure out later.

Inuyasha: This whole fic is stupid, I would never let Kagome get hurt like that!

Angeltiger and Kagome: *rolls eyes*

Kagome: Right.

Inuyasha: *gapes* You don't think...

Angeltiger: *clears throat* Ok people. I have something to address to all the readers out there that are ready to pull my hair out due to the fact I haven't told them who I will pair anyone with. Here is as it stands...again...:::

Kagome takes refuge in Sesshomaru's castle, mansion, summer cottage, (whatever the hell you want to call it) while she fights withing herself to contain her new instincts. You'll understand that part later. The only thing you guys really need to know is that depending on my mood, or who I think is developing in a better relationship, I will choose who Kagome will end up with. It will either be: Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Kouga, or Naraku. *ducks as people throw things at her*

Sesshomaru: Let her finish!

Angeltiger: Thanks Sess. Now, the only reason I would ever pair her with Naraku is if I planned to make a sequel, and that all depends on if I think I'm good enough to handle an addition to the story. And what you guys think. If you want, I'll put up a post at the beginning of every chapter to let people know of the votes, but I won't gaurentee the winner will be the one I choose.

Inuyasha: She's a control freak like that!

Angeltiger: *hurls fireballs at him* Let me know what you think and if there is anything that I need to work on or change. Now if you'll excuse me...*chaces a charcoaled Inuyasha around the set*

Sesshomaru: *hic* At least they're not verbally arguing.

Kagome: *puts away vodka bottle* Tell me about it. *hic*
