InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Needed Journey ❯ Chapter 6

Hey, I was so happy that I got other reviews that I decided that I would write this chapter. After August 22, 2003 till update every other Friday. I have a reminder set up so I won't forget. If I fail to do this it is because I have an exam. This is going to have a lot of comedy. Well I think you're tired of me so on with the story. * Running and dodging punches from two dog demons. *

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

"Lord Sesshomaru a pleasure to see you." Prince Juro, son of Lord Akahito, said this while trying to hide the fact that he would rather be with Kagome without his presence. "I'm sure. Now what business brings you here?" "I have business here, but not with you directly Lord Sesshomaru though I would gladly share it with you." "I already know, but I would like to talk to you if you have a moment." "Of course, Lord Sesshomaru." Both egotistical males left to have a conversation elsewhere much to the dismay of Natasha who had a disappointed expression. Kagome had just stood there thinking about what happened and that though not as sexy as Sesshomaru (Few are.) that the young lion demon was attractive. She was shook out of her trance by Natasha sneaking to where the boys were. Kagome was about to get her when Natasha made a gesture not to move and Kagome realized that getting her to come back was not an option. As she was a fox-demon Natasha had the ability to be very sly and using this ability she soon caught up with the Prince and Lord.

"Well what would you like to discuss?" "I would you to know that you welcome here is completely hanging on Kagome's wishes. If she allows you to stay you can, but the moment that I find she does not want you here or that your behavior is unbecoming I'll personally kick your ass out. Is that clear?" "Yes it is very clear sir." "Oh, I will in no way interfere, but I can not say the same for Natasha." After that Juro left and didn't notice Natasha because he was upset and she had masked her scent and aura. Natasha went in to have a talk with Sesshomaru. "That is so sweet of you. Also you're right that I'll interfere. He is such an asshole. I see that you still have not asked her or answered my question. I'll keep an eye on them. You should think carefully." She left to see how Kagome was doing with the prince.

Well, what is your next move? I don't know. I without doubt don't like that prince in my castle. Anything else? I don't have the patience for you right now, so leave. Fine, aren't you testy? I'll leave. At least one problem is gone. Now I'll stay in the library so I don't interfere, and I'll ask Kagome later if she wishes him to stay.

Natasha's POV

I watched as the infatuated Juro talked to Kagome who was politely listening though I knew she had little interest. I knew neither of them could sense me. I love being a fox-demon. I also have the power to talk telepathically. I decided to use it. <Hey, how are you? > <Where are you? Also do you mind not bothering me? I have to pay attention to him. > <I'm not going to tell you where I'm at, but I will leave you alone. > I watch as a smirk was held back. I then thought that maybe I should intrude on Sesshomaru. <Fluffy, I'm watching Kagome and Juro. > <What would I need with this information? > <You are so honorable. You're not even interfering in your future mate's business, so you don't break a promise. > <Drop the sarcasm and baiting. She is not my future mate, and yes I won't break a promise. > He then put up a mind block that prevented me from talking to him. I just stuck out my tongue as if he were there. I then watched as sweet nice Kagome talked to the Prince. I decided that I would make myself known. I said hello and told them I would watch the children. Kagome gave me a `I'll-handle-this-don't-get-involved' look. I just smiled. <Don't worry, but if you need me just focus on me and think what you want me to know. > That got me a glare that might kill an normal person. I led the children to the small creek. Shippou asked, "Why is that man talking to mama?" "I'll explain when you get older." He accepted that and played with Rin.

Sesshomaru's POV

"I wish she would be less immature. Just because I care about her does not mean I would not allow Kagome to talk to a guest that asked for her." Come on. Tell me that you don't want to find out what they are saying. I must say that I am quite interested about what Juro is doing. That's it.Look I'm you. I know all you thoughts, so why don't you be honest. What do you mean? Please, I know that you want to make sure that another male does not take Kagome. I also know that you're too stubborn to admit it. I'm not stubborn. Oh yes, you are. I wish you would just ask her. I know the curiosity is getting to you, so I'll leave for now. After I stopped debating with myself I used my own mental abilities to discover what they were talking about. I am not jealous of the cub. Right.

Kagome's POV

After watching Natasha leave I listened to Juro talk more. He is very articulate and knowledgeable for someone fairly young by demon standards. I was commenting on something he said when I felt Sesshomaru's presence and I glanced around and saw that he was not around. I then realized what was going on. <Hello, Sess. I would greatly appreciate if you didn't read my mind. I'm no giving you a choice by the way. > With that I used my powers to erect a mental barrier. I'm sure that he could have broken it but he didn't appear again. Juro informed me that he was only allowed to stay if I allowed it. Just then Sesshomaru came out and told us that dinner was ready. I asked Sesshomaru if I could talk to him privately. He agreed not that I gave him a choice.

NORM POV

"What may I ask were you doing in my mind?" "Um… I was curious. I not sure that he can be trusted." He soon regretted that statement. "What! You think that I'm unable to protect myself! Unbelievable! I am a priestess and trained fighter. I can handle myself." He watched as her anger grew. His first thought was that she is very attractive when angry then he realized that she might kill him if she got too angry. "Um… I'm sorry. I should have trusted your abilities." This surprised her and made her mute for a few moments. Then we proceeded to dinner. Juro sat as close to Kagome as possible. Natasha and Sesshomaru were talking with their mental abilities and glaring daggers at each other while they ate. <Why don't you ask her? > <That is my business. > <I'm just saying that she would say yes. > (Wouldn't we all?) <Would you mind your own business? > <Fluffy, you know that I wouldn't do that. > <Only Rin can call me that. Also I know that you will not stop bugging with me. > With that the barrier was up again. Sesshomaru found a rare moment Kagome was alone to ask if she wished him to stay. She said that he might just as well stay the night because it was already late. They all went to their bedrooms to sleep. Kagome checked on the children before she went to her room. Once she was there that voice came back.

Hey! What do you want? I'm trying to sleep? I'm here just to bug and help you. What do I need help with?Sesshomaru What do you mean? I mean that you are obviously attracted to him. Natasha said he felt the same way, right? Make a move What about Juro? What about him? You are not as attracted besides you were bored and uncomfortable with him. You wouldn't be with Fluffy. Wait a minute. Natasha Get out of my head! <Damn! I thought I fooled you. > <You did till you said Fluffy. I would never call him that. Only you and Rin do that. > <Well you are going to make a move, right? > <I'll think about it, but if I agree with you, you had better help me or I will purify you ass. >Kagome knew it was a hollow threat, but she knew she wouldn't have to follow through with it. <Fine, you don't need to get touchy. > <Great. Either way Juro is leaving tomorrow. > <Good. I'm sure that he'll be slightly hurt, but he has such a huge ego, which needs to be deflated, it is ridiculous. Goodnight. > <Sleep well, and don't do that again. > Kagome went to sleep, and had that dream again. (Fluffy fans start throwing stuff at author)

Kagome woke up early to train, and keep her promise to send Juro away. She knew that Sesshomaru would be there without company. She walked in to see a bare-chested Sesshomaru. (Happy? Fans stop throwing and start drooling.) She somewhat dazedly told him that she was not interested in Juro and that he could leave after breakfast. She went quickly out and decided that though training was tempting she wouldn't because he would be way to distracting. Breakfast came and went, as did Juro. (Ses/Kag fans cheer!)

Back at Kaede's

* Slap * "Pervert! Just because I agreed to marry you that does not mean you can grope my rear." "I'm sorry Sango. It seems that my hand slipped down. I must apologize." "You know is seems that although your curse went away the tendency of it to roam stayed." "If it is any consolation the house is coming along nicely."

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

Kagome had decided to take a bath and was thinking of Natasha's offer as that said person came in to join her. "How are you? I won't mention our conversation last night. Would you like to know so moments of Sesshomaru life?" "Sure. I knew that this was coming." "I assume you want the embarrassing stuff, right? Well, when he was extremely young his father was having a meeting while his mother was giving him a bath. Well a good-sized spider dropped from the ceiling near his hair and scared him. He ran out through the meeting with nothing on screaming into his bedroom followed by his mother." When she was finished both women nearly broke a rib laughing. "I'll tell you more if you two mate." They finished and went into the study where Sesshomaru was. They were talking when Kagome saw a spider and had to leave while trying to hide hysterical laughter. Sesshomaru looked at Natasha with a confused look then he saw the spider and the looked at her with a mix of horror and malice. Natasha was just laughing when he said, "You didn't tell her that, did you?" "Yes, I did. There is more where that came from." "Why did I let you become close to anybody in my home? I wouldn't tell her any more or I might tell Hiro who stole his clothes at the gathering before you were mates." They continued for a while.
