Tag In the Rain

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Kagome ran.

The forest was dark and eerie, and the farther she ran, the more she wanted to scream. Scream for help, for Sango, Miroku, INUYASHA!
…But she couldn't. The moment she did, her pursuer would know exactly where she was. Not that it matter much…he could easily have smelled her if he wanted.

No…he was doing this on purpose! That stupid, no good son of a-

“Ack!” she tripped and fell.

Frustration was sitting in now. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she slowing got up, surveying the area around her. It was completely dark and every shadow was another threat, But she was tired of running. This was worse than anything, knowing that your life was in the balance and you had no way of protecting yourself. She reached behind her and came up with nothing…Her bow and arrows were at camp. She got up slowly and gave the area around her a quick survey.

“Damn it!!”

If only she hadn't run off like she did! Her anger at Inuyasha's stupidity gave her no excuse to be stupid as well. If she had stayed nearby she would still be safe with everyone else instead of out in this cold god forsaken forest all alone and-

“You stupid idiot! Quit playing with my life!!!! If you got something to finish, than do it now!!”

“…Now that wouldn't be any fun now would it…”

The hair on the back of kagome's neck stood up at the sound of the deadly sweet voice of her hunter. It was husky and violent, a predator's voice. She went to turn around and face him, but was refused the privilege.

“I will kill you if you turn around.”

It wasn't a threat, it was a promise and Kagome felt it to her core. Every instinct she had was screaming for her to run but like any predator he would surely pounce at the first movement she made. It was a hopeless situation with no way out but into the fire.

“Then so be it.”

Kagome turned around and faced the last person she would have expected.

“…Sesshoumaru…”

In truth she had expected Naraku. Her fear washed away a little, only a little mind you. Although he wasn't a definant evil like Naraku, he wasn't sweet as pie either. Kagome was, in the very least, intrigued to find out what the Lord of the Western Land was doing here, chasing her, in the middle of the night, in a seemingly deserted forest…
It was then she noticed that the yokai had lost his usual companions of Rin and Jaken and his armor and boa were gone too. Kagome took in his new image. Without his armor he looked almost…fragile. Kagome laughed dirisively in her head. It was quite a strange word to put to the yokai lord but that was what it was best summed up as.Although he was incredibly strong, the power came from his yokai and not bodily strength so much. He had a runers build. He was tall and graceful, dare she say beautiful? It wasn't that far of a stretch. His beauty could make anyone swoon, regardless of gender.

“You did not heed my warning miko.” His eyes flashed with something akin to approval even as he said that.

“And your point?” Kagome bit out defiantly.

Sesshoumaru laughed out loud then, and continued to smirk as if he was in on a private joke she did not know of. Kagome wasn't sure if she had heard right, but had the 'great, cold as a glacier, lord of the western lands' just laugh? As foreign as the sound was it held no candle over the shock that she now felt.

 

His laugh is just like Inuyasha's.

“Your half-breed will not save you” he looked to the sky as he continued. “In fact, it will be days before he will find you…alive or dead”

At that moment, it seemed that the heavens were waiting for this line.

The sky began to cry…

“No…” Kagome felt her hopes shatter as the warm summer rain came down upon her almost mockingly. The rain would wash away her scent and make it impossible to for Inuyasha to find her.

She gave up.

“Just get it over with Sesshoumaru…”

She didn't look up to see the strange look on Sesshoumaru's face...

She didn't look up as he walked up to her...

She didn't look up as he reached out to her...

She closed her eyes and raised her head proudly to the sky, letting the rainfall down on her in small drops of comfort.
Suddenly she couldn't feel the rain anymore. She opened her eyes to come face to face with the yokai lord, his eyes searing into her soul.

“Why do you give up so easily, kagome…?”

Before Kagome could answer that question, Sesshoumaru had taken her lips with his own.

`Is this for real?' Kagome thought as her eyes closed on their own accord.

She leaned in slightly and she felt Sesshoumaru wrap an arm around her, pulling her flush against him. His body was radiating heat and it soaked through kagome's clothes into her skin. Kagome was in a daze; she didn't know why this was happening or why she was enjoying this so much. She flattened her hands against Sesshoumaru's chest and pushed away. She stared at him in disbelief and shock for a few seconds before he lowered his face to her ear.

“Tag…you're it” The sentence held the slightest amount of humor.


And with that, he was gone.
