Chapter 2- close call

Kagome cleared her throat and she sat up a little bit so as she could look at Sesshoumaru. She really didn't feel like reliving the events that occurred but she knew she could trust Sesshoumaru to understand. They had both grow rather fond of each other over the past three years. Kagome was the only person he we talk to...other than Rin who never understood anyway.

“well the thing is...” kagome began.. “Inuyasha choose Kikyo over me. And it hurt me to say them kissing. So I started running. And running till I found you and rin playing in the field as if she were your daughter.” kagome ended looking at Sesshoumaru's face.

“Kikyo....my baka of a half brother chose a dead miko compared to a living and beautiful young miko?” Sesshoumaru questioned almost not believing his half brother was that dumb.

Kagome only nodded. She couldn't believe the choice either but she knew that was the decks he was dealt and now she must learn to play it to her advantage.

“Sesshoumaru Sama...um id hate to impose on you...but may I stay at your palace for a while. I rather not see Inuyasha or Kikyo's face for a very long time. If you don't know allow me to I understand why you wouldn't what me as a burden and all but I would greatly appreciate it.” kagome said as she took a couple flowers that rin had handed her.

Before Sesshoumaru could answer Rin jumped in.

“Rin would be happy if Kagome- Chan would come and play with her. With Kagome- Chan play with Rin at the palace?” the girl smiled up at kagome.

“I would be honored” kagome stated... “but first you have to ask Lord Sesshoumaru Sama his permission” she said joking around bout the lord but still wanted rin to ask to make sure it was ok.

“I don't see why not. You can keep Rin busy seeing how Jaken isn't a very good playmate for a child. Perhaps you could teach her proper English. I can't find a human suitable that I could put up with to teach her and I think you'd be perfect.....seeing how your the only ningen I can tolerate.” Sesshoumaru stated in a calm voice not trying to reveal the fact that he was happy she was going to live with him.

Sesshoumaru stood up. “Rin, kagome...its time to go home. Lets be on our way...you too Jaken.” Sesshoumaru said almost wanting to leave the toad there seeing how he's been no help.

“Sesshoumaru, id like to stay a while longer. I just want to go and relax in the lake for a nice swim...and just forget this day all together.” kagome pleaded with bright brown eyes.

Sesshoumaru looked at the girl as if she'd gone nuts. “its almost nightfall...the youkai will be out soon...I don't...” before he could finish kagome interrupted

“I CAN FEND FOR MYSELF THANK YOU VERY MUCH” she said loud and clear as so he could understand her because her voice was soft from crying so much.

“Never interrupt me again” Sesshoumaru said glaring daggers at kagome “I don't want you here alone other wise you might not be able to find your way home OR get attacked by a stronger youkai. I will leave Jaken here to assist you.” Sesshoumaru turned to look at Jaken. “you will stay here and if anything is to happen you report back to be as soon as possible. Understood?” he said with his oh so famous icy tone which he hadn't used since Kagome arrived.

Jaken only nodded not wanting to get Lord Sesshoumaru mad.

“good....see you at home Kagome...please don't take to long...I don't want to come looking for your body parts in the morning” Sessy said with a hint of warning.

And with that Sesshoumaru and Rin took off back to the castle. ( a/n I don't feel like explaining how they got there hehe I'm lazy)

Kagome decided she didn't want to swim just look at the water. She ran her fingers threw it like she had earlier that day. She loved how the water made small ripples from her finger and slowly mellowed out. She started at her own reflect for a good 10 minutes till she thought she heard footsteps. She figured it was Jaken and paid no mind to it.

The next thing she knew there was an ice cold pale white hand wrapped around her neck and holding her head underwater. She struggled as much as she could trying to break free of the deadly grab someone had on her neck. Eventually she stopped struggling all together due to the fact she passed out from lack of oxygen.

“Once and for all you will be out of mine and Inuyasha's life. There should only be one person with my face and that's me you stupid reincarnation” Kikyo said as she watched Kagome's body drop lifeless to the floor and kicked it slightly so she hit her head on a rock.

With that Kikyo walked away at about the same time Jaken had arrived back from his little relaxing time in the woods. Jaken saw kagome lying on the ground next to lake and decided he should go get Sesshoumaru but he was a little late for that. Just as he was about to leave there appeared Sesshoumaru and all his glory. His smacked Jaken for not watching the girl closely enough. He knelt next to kagome turning her over so he could examine her features.

Her lips were slightly blue, as if she had been out for a short amount of time. She was still breathing, barely, short off beat breaths. Sesshoumaru cradled her in his arms. Lifting her head to make her breathing easier. He lightly rubbed her back to help with any extra water she might have swallowed.

.“Who would do such a thing as to hurt MY kagome. All the humans seem to like her. And there isn't to much blood, only from what looks like her hitting her head on a rock. So that rules out a youkai, no youkai would be so gentle with there victim.... only one name came up...Inuyasha.”
