InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Trust in a Youkai ❯ Stables, Whit Horses? ( Chapter 10 )

Sesshoumaru walked into his room and sighed. He always had hated meetings in the morning. They were so boring. Hearing some giggling outside Sesshoumaru walked out to his balcony. Leaning against the railing he watched Kagome and Rin sort through different flowers. Sesshoumaru chuckled at Kagome trying to convince Rin that a weed was not a flower.

"Rin that's a weed, not a flower" Kagome said.

"But it's pretty"

"Hai, but weeds don't go in a flower bouquet" Kagome sighed.

"Why not?" Rin asked.

"Because...because they just don't"

"Oh, ok" Rin threw the weed behind her and picked up another flower.

Sesshoumaru chuckled lightly and walked out of his room. He night as well go to his librarry and try to plan the attack on Naraku. He was more trouble than he was worth. Sesshoumaru was in the middle of reading a scroll about war tactics when there was a knock on the door. "Come in Irvine"

The door opened and Irvine walked in. "Hey, the ladies were wanting to go on a picnic"

"And why are you telling me?" Sesshoumaru looked up from the scroll.

"Because they want us to come along, because they think that we need a break and they want you to ge Kagome. They have no idea where she and Rin went"

"All they have to do is follow her scent and they know that" Sesshoumaru went back to reading his scroll.

Irvine shrugged and opened the librarry doors again "All the same they want you to get her while they make sure the servants pack everything" giving a light chuckle Irvine left.

Sesshoumaru sighed and stood up. There was no way the others would let him skip out on the picnic. Steping outside of his study Sesshoumaru caught Kagome's scent mixed with Rin's. He followed the scent to Kagome's room. When he got there Sesshoumaru knocked on the door and entered.

Kagome was arranging a bouquet of flowers on a table by the balcony while Rin was dancing around the room wearing all sorts of flowers. Upon seeing Sesshoumaru Rin ran over to hug his leg. Sesshoumaru patted her head in return. Kagome turned around and giggled causing Sesshoumaru to look up at her.

"We have been invited to a picnic by the other lords and ladies" Sesshoumaru spoke up.

"Really? that sounds great" Kagome cheered. "When do we leave?"

"When ever you are ready" Sesshoumaru answered.

"Rin is ready" Rin yelled and ran out of the room.

"Well I guess I'm ready as well" Kagome laughed and let Sesshoumaru lead her out of the room and down the hall.

Everyone was waiting in the main hall including Rin waiting for Sesshoumaru and Kagome to arrive. When they did arive Von spoke up. "Everything is ready. The servants brought everything to the stables" Von looked over at Kagome and chuckled.

"Nani?" Kagome asked worried that something might be on her face.

"It seems you were in the garden with Rin" Von chuckled.

Then Kagome realized it. She was still wearing the flower crown that Rin made for her. Blushing slightly she reached up to take the crown off but Irvine stopped her.

"Leave it on, it suits you quite well" Irvine said causing Kagome to to blush even more.
Leena slapped Irvine on the arm "stop it your embarrasing her" she scolded.

"Alright, alright" Irvine sighed.

"Shall we go to the stables?" Sesshoumaru interrupted.

"I think we better go before Sesshoumaru decides not to go" Von said whil grabbing Tiara's hand walking outside.

"come on Kagome" Tiara giggled.

Kagome laughed and walked out the door with Sesshoumaru while Rin ran up ahead. "So where are we going?" Kagome asked and looked up Sesshoumaru.

"To the stables" Sesshoumaru answered ducking down to miss a tree branch reaching out.

"You mean with horses?" Kagome continued

"Hai...is there a problem?" Sesshoumaru questioned.

"Iie...it's just that I have never rode a horse before that's all" Kagome said nervously.

"That will not be a problem"

At the stables the horses were prepared and ready. "Tie Kagome's horses' reins to mine" Sesshoumaru ordered a servant.

"But why?" Von asked in a confused voice.

"She does not know how to ride a horse so she will be riding with me" Sesshoumaru answered.

"But what about me?" Rin asked. "I can't ride by myself"

"You can ride with me" Tiara said and lifted Rin onto her horse as she squield in delight.

Von chuckled shaking his head as he tied the reins of the horse with all of the supplies to his horse. Everyone mounted their horses while Sesshoumaru helped Kagome on his horse and got on himself. Once everyone was ready they set out.

"So are these horses your's Sesshoumaru or the others?" Kagome asked.

"They are riding their own horses" Sesshoumaru answered"

"Hai, This is my horse Taon and Leena's horse is Cleo" Irvine said. Irvine's horse was a grey mustang while Leena's was a black mustang with white socks around it's feet.

"My horse is Sheeta" Tiara said patting the tan Mustang's neck.

"And mine is Patu" Von added. His horse was a brown mustang with a black patch on it's hind quarters.

"I'm not sure but are they all mustangs other than Sesshoumaru's?" Kagome asked.

"Yes well Mustang's are the best type of horses other than stallions but stallions can be rather hard to train" Irvine said.

"And Sesshoumaru want's nothing but the best" Von added. "But I have yet to find out how he trains those stallions so easily."

"Kagome giggled and looked at Sesshoumaru. "You just have to know how to train them" Sesshoumaru answered in a bord tone.

"So how do you train them then?" Von asked bringing his horse up beside Sesshoumaru's.

""With time" was all Sesshoumaru said.

"Well your no fun" Von pouted.

"So where are we going to stop for the picnic?" Kagome interrupted.

"We will stop once we get to that tree over there" Leen answered pointing to a tree up ahead.

Kagome nodded and leaned against Sesshoumaru's chest. Sesshoumaru felt Kagome's heart speed up when she leaned against him and inwardly smiled. 'Why do I feel so strange around him?' Kagome thought. 'It's the same feeling I got when I was around Inuyasha...I couldn't be...could I be falling for Sesshoumaru? I can't, I mean he tried to kill me and my friends many times. Actually only twice but anyways...Is that why I always got a strange feeling when ever he was around even when he came to fight Inuyasha? And he did promise that he would never hurt me, but, can I still trust him?' Kagome was brought out of her thoughts when Sesshoumaru got off his horse signaling that they were at there destination.

Well that's it...O and here are the definitions:
Hai- Yes
Iie- No
Nani- What?
