InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Unexpected Gift of Destiny ❯ Discoveries and Consequences ( Chapter 4 )

Problems, chances, trials and hardships. These are the factors that make life interesting, yet at the same time, hard and problematic. But without these, out life would be called a paradise. A paradise of joy and happiness, resulting to `boredom.'

That's why fate and destiny weave a special tapestry. A tapestry full of wonderful and difficult things. A tapestry called "LIFE." And right now, these two are working on yet another one. A tapestry on which, our all-time favorite miko and taiyoukai are vaguely involved . . .

It was a sight to see really. Because if one could spot them right now, he/she would definitely faint to see a very, VERY shocking and heart-stopping scene. For unknown reasons, the "distance curse" made the taiyoukai and the miko, sleeping in each other's arms.

Sesshoumaru, having caught the weariness of the miko, (since the two of them were now bonded) had his arms snaked across the young girl's waist, which was easy, because Kagome was sleeping on top of the said youkai. Her hands and face were on his chest, while the youkai's tail was covering her body, giving the miko, all the warmth and comfort she will ever need.

Since fate and destiny have a very unique sense of humor, they decided to make things interesting. So. . . Kagome and Sesshoumaru began to wake up. . .

*Sesshoumaru's POV *

I awoke, feeling weight on top of me. At first, I thought it was my charge, Rin, but then I remembered the incident that took place yesterday, only to find out that it was actually my brother's wench. I was about to snatch her and throw her to a tree when her eyes opened.

*Kagome's POV *

Daylight shone on my eyes as if waking me up. I awoke, seeing Sesshoumaru about to grab me. . . but then. . . he stopped. For me, it seemed like eternity before realization struck. There I was, laying on top of a cold-blooded killer, with my face buried in his chest. Unsure of what to say, I just looked at him, while my face did a very good imitation of a tomato. I was so lost in my thoughts, when his voice broke through my mind barrier.

"Onna! Do you intend to stay like this throughout the day? Your human stench is getting to my nose!"

"Um. . . um. . . so . . . so sorry, Lord Sesshoumaru. . . ano. . . ano. . ." Kagome trailed off as she stood up to get off the inu-youkai.

Embarrassed by the sudden turn of events, Kagome suddenly discovered the fiddling of her skirt quite interesting. That's when the taiyoukai spoke again.

"Wench! Stop dandling there and let's get going!"

Sesshoumaru walked away from the said miko but when he realized she wasn't following, he stopped.

"Human! Are you stupider than I thought? Can't you understand a single, simple statement? I said, let's get going!"

Kagome fumed, but then spoke, "First of all, I have a name! Not wench, bitch, human, onna or any insulting names you demons could think of! My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me! Got that?"

The human girl then stomped away from the bewildered youkai who in turn, stared off at her.

"Ka. . .go. . .me"

Meanwhile, Inuyasha together with his companions, Miroku, Sango, Shippou and Kirara were now looking for their accomplice, Kagome, all at the same time arguing about her safety.

"What did you do this time, Inuyasha? Did you hurt her again? I promise, if anything happens to Kagome, I'll have your head for it!"

"Feh! Shut up woman! I didn't do anything to her alright! So just shut the fuck up!"

"Then. . . then. . . where did she go to? Wwaaaaahhh! I want to see Kagome!"

"There, there, Shippou. We're not really sure if she's in danger, okay? Maybe. . . maybe she just went to stroll in the woods."

`I sure hope she IS just strolling! Damnm! I'm really sure she saw me with Kikyo! What will I say to her?' thought the disturbed hanyou.

That's when he saw Kagome's bag lying on the forest floor. He dashed towards it, then sniffed at the air. Surely enough, there was Kagome's scent in it. But It wasn't only the miko's scent he smelled. He also detected a lingering odor in it. It was the scent of a youkai. The scent of the Lord of the Western lands. The scent of his brother. . .

". . .Sesshoumaru. . ."
