Chapter 2: Fading Senses

Slowly the young lord peeled himself out of the crater that bore his shape, an ireful growl rumbling deep within his chest. His eyes flashed red for but a moment as he rose to his feet, dust flowing off of him in waves, mimicing the angry aura he was exuding. He looked to the mist enshrouded woods around him, scenting the air for the human wench that had dared to subdue him to find no trace of her. Disregarding the lack of scent from the woman, thinking it was the moisture in the air which masked her scent, he turned his superior sight to the area, but found nothing... his sight oddly dimmed, which he attributed to the otherworldly fog. Attuning his keen hearing to everything around him, he caught the faint crunch of footsteps upon the ground and a laughing voice.

"For not taking your bought prize,
And dishonoring you mother's demise," the voice sang, echoing and bouncing off the trees and the land, all coming from nowhere and everywhere at once.
"For not heeding the needy's cries,
You will become what you despise," then all at once the voice stopped, there was no lingering echo as one might expect. All went silent and there was just nothing.

Growling angrily to himself, the young lord turned and began walking the short distance back to his estate. After not even taking five steps the beads around his neck glowed once more and he was pulled face first into the awaiting ground below him.

A twitch was beginning to form in her right eye as she stared down the hanyou in her way.He was keeping her from something that she absolutely *had* to do. He was holding her from something that she wanted to do. He was standing between her and the hot springs that she so desperately needed to get to. She had days worth of grime covering her body from the non-stop travel and she was tired of it.

"I'm going to take a bath AND THAT'S THAT!" she said, starting out in a calm controlled voice and ending in a full out yell that have Inuyasha flinching from the piercing sound of it. Seeing that she was walking around and away from him he quickly recovered and jumped to intercept her.

"Oi, wench! I didn't say I was finished with you yet!"

"SIT!" she screamed finally getting fed-up with his antics. "I told you! I'm going to take a bath and that's all there is to it! I don't care whose territory we're in!"

Getting to his feet when the spell wore off once more, he angrily made his way back away from his home, headed towards his place of relaxation. The swirling mists of the fog wrapped around his legs and curled around his fingers in a longing caress of a love that was not reciporcated. His anger was radiating from his form in waves, as was the dust that was rolling off of his figure. The closer he got to his favorite spring the more agitated he became which only served to make him even more irate.

Kagome gave a cry of triumph when she finally reached the spring that she so desperately sought. Quickly she stripped down and waded through the spring until she was deep enough where she could swim. She was making a few laps through the water when she heard a rustle in the bushes. Snapping her head up, she screamed the first thing that came to mind since Sango and Miroku were off on their own. She heard a satisfying thump before she turned back to her swimming.

When he reached his spring, he heard splashing around. When he rounded the bend in the path he was taking, he came to the source of the splashing in his spring. In his distracted state he didn't notice that he had veered off the path, nor did he notice the bush that was in front of him until he walked into it. Annoyed with is sudden inability to keep alert to every minute detail of his surroundings, he was surprised when he heard a female voice ring out. Before he had time to react, he was up close and personal with the soil once more.

With an uncharacteristic lack of grace, he hopped to his feet. A growl was forming in his throat, quickly threatening to break free when she uttered something he couldn't make out clearly again. Once again he crashed into the ground and this time he heard her shouting something that sounded suspiciously like "pervert". His anger rose to a new level and he jumped to his feet once more. Glaring in the direction of the spring, at first glanced he was entralled by the nymph that was effortlessly gliding through the water. He watched as she continued to swim and bathe, until she finally waded her way out of the water and began dressing. It was then that she spotted him standing amongst the foliage.

A gasp escaped her as she beheld the beguiling creature standing before her. She knew she should be scared, this was Sesshoumaru after all, but she found she couldn't be. She just kept her wide-eyed gaze upon the white clad figure before her, looking for all the world like a god of the mists of the night. Both stared at one another, completely and utterly captivated.

Aught but a moment had passed and the spell was broken with the crashing of the leaves and branches behind Kagome. The girl whipped around in time to see the flash of red and when she turned back he was gone.

~X~

With a speed that was unmatched by all others, Sesshoumaru left from branch to branch soundlessly. Silently he cursed himself along the way. How could he not have known that she was his brother's wench? And how did he not know his brother was headed in their direction until he was almost in the clearing? A growl formed in his throat and spilled over as he continued on his trek home... he never got his bath and he was pissed.
