Riding lessons


"Ok Kagome It's your turn" Von said walking over to Kagome.

"No I can't...I might fall...I'm very clumsy" Kagome protested.

"Come on, I wont let you fall" Von took Kagome's hands and pulled her up. "Ok, cross your arms at the wrist" he instructed. Kagome did so and he did the same then took her hands in his. Slowly they started to twirl around together then started to speed up.

Kagome closed her eyes and laughed "Slow down, I'm getting dizzy"

"But that's the fun part!" Tiara called out.

"I can't take it anymore" Kagome laughed. "I'm too dizzy" finally Von slowed down and let go of Kagome . Kagome sat down hand held her head. "Please make everything stop spinning" she winned causeing Leena and Tiara to laugh.

"Maybe Sesshoumaru would like to try once with you Kagome" Irvine chuckled.

"I'll pass thank you" Sesshoumaru sniffed.

"Ok fine" Kagome sighed. "Then teach me how to ride a horse" Sesshoumaru nodded and stood up. Kagome followed Sesshoumaru over to the horses. "So what's your horses name?" Kagome asked.

"His name is Rusher" Sesshouamru answered.

"That's a nice name, what about the other one?"

"Her name is Pylon"

"That's a pretty name. Is she nice?" Kagome asked standing a few feet away from the horse while Sesshoumaru untied the reins from the tree.

"Yes, she is very gentle" Sesshouamru brought Pylon over to Kagome. "I assume you do know how to mount a horse?"

"Yeah, just like a slightly larger Kilala" Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow causing Kagome to giggle. "Never mind. I just don't know how to ride a horse" Kagome sighed.

"And that is what I am going to teach you" Sesshoumaru stated. "Now get on the horse"

Kagome did so "Now what do I do?"

"Take the reins" Sesshoumaru instructed.

"Like this?"

"No" Sesshouamru moved Kagome's hands on the reins. "Like this"


Off in the distance the others watched all hoping that Sesshoumaru was finally developing feelings. Even if she was a human they all knew that she was perfect for him.

"I think they look great together" Leena said as they watched Sesshoumaru lead Kagome around on the horse.

"Sesshoumaru had been alone long enough" Von said. "He needs some one around other than the servants and Rin" they all looked over at the little girl picking flowers.

"She's a cute girl, always full of energy" Tiara sighed. "I wish I had a daughter like that"

"Maybe Sesshoumaru will let us barrow her for a little while" Von joked.

"I don't know, he might kill you first...he's very protective of that little girl" Irvine said.

"True" Von laughed.

"I just wonder what she's doing here with Sesshoumaru if she was traveling with Inuyasha to collect the jewel shards" Leena brought up as they watched Kagome walk the horse around on her own.

"I don't know" Irvine said. "Maybe they had some complications"

"Maybe" Leena sighed.

@@@%%%

"Am I doing this right?" Kagome asked turning her horse around.

"Hai" Sesshoumaru sat on his horse watching Kagome . "you learn quickly"

"Arigatu" Kagome smiled.

"Now let's see how well you can gallop. I'll be right back" Sesshoumaru directed his horse in the direction of the others. He lightly kicked the horses side and made a clicking noise with his tounge. The horse slowly walked on.

When he got to the others he said "I am taking Kagome out to teach her how to gallop"

"We'll be here waiting" Tiara said. Sesshoumaru nodded and turned his horse around. When he got to Kagome they both headed off in no particular direction.


"Ok, I know Irvine and Leena have at least one son but what about Von and Tiara?" Kagome asked.

"They are unable to have children...they are not sure if it is Tiara or Von but they have tried many times and failed" his voice was emotionless.

"That's terrible" Kagome felt so sorry for Von and Tiara. To not be able to have children muct be horrable. "Then who will be the air to their lands?"

"I do not know...are you ready to gallop?"

"Yes, what do I do?"

"Kick the horse twice in the sides lightly. Now when Pylon starts to gallop squeeze your legs together and move with her" Sesshoumaru instructed.

"OK" Kagome nodded. Sesshoumaru made that clicking noise again and Rusher went into a gallop. "Come on Pylon" Kagome lightly kicked the horse who started to gallop following Sesshoumaru.

Smiling lightly Sesshoumaru moved Rusher into a run. Kagome 'eeped' when Pylon followed Rusher's lead. When they returned everything was packed and the others were ready to leave. Once back at the stables the horses were but back into their stalls. Everyone left to head for the springs except Sesshoumaru and Kagome. Kagome removed Pylon's saddle as Sesshoumaru instructed.

"Pylon is so beautiful and gentle. I love her" Kagome smiled.

"Then she is your's" Sesshoumaru stated as he grabbed a brush that was hanging on the stable wall and handed it to Kagome.

Kagome took the brush "You mean it, I can have her, you don't mind?" Kagome stuttered.

"If I did not mean it I wouldn't have told you that you could have her" Sesshoumaru set his own brush down and started to turn around when Kagome ran into him latching her arms around his waist.

"Arigatu" Kagome cried. To say the least Sesshoumaru was shocked. He didn't know what to do. It wasn't the first time that she willingly huged him but something about it made him forget everything. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. It means so much to me. No one has ever given something like this to me before" Kagome continued to cry.

Sesshoumaru lightly wrapped his arms around Kagome and looked down at her. "Why do you cry...what made you so sad?"

"I'm not sad" Kagome giggled and lifted her head up to look at Sesshoumaru.

"Then why are you crying?"

"Because I'm happy. No one has ever given me something like this before" Kagome smiled and hugged Sesshoumaru again.

"I am pleased that you are happy" Sesshoumaru wispered.

"I am, I'm very happy" Kagome let go of Sesshoumaru as he let go of her both instantly missing the warmth from eachother. "So do you want to show me how to brush a horse?" Kagome asked picking up the brush again.

Sesshoumaru took the brush from Kagome and set it down. "Leave it to the servants" Sesshoumaru said. "We should be getting back inside" Kagome nodded on agreement and Sesshoumaru lead kagome bck into the castle.
