Something Different - pt 3

It continued raining, Kagome stared outside the cave as she finished making a fire. Sesshomaru never moved from his spot. One being for the pup was still sleeping, the other was he watched her. She was an interesting female that he ever encounter, not only that she was a miko to him. Kagome saw he was watching her, she saw he was curious, but behind his mask. She kept her mind focusing on the pup. He was still wrapped around the Inus tail, she found it adorable the way he was sleeping. Kagome turned her head around facing the entrance of the cave, she would have to hunt for the pup, and in any consideration him as well. Slowly getting up, she began to walk out of the cave. Finding this easier than it was, she stopped, hearing the demon lord speak.

“Where do you think you are going, miko?” Kagome never faced him, she didn’t even want to look at the cold hearted being.

“Inuyasha would need some food, I promise him a piggy, before you came along and caused trouble.” She clinched her fist, keeping in her powers in tact. Sesshomaru looked down at the pup, still sleeping. He turned his gazed back to the miko, he saw her aura changing, he felt amused to this human.

“Stay with the pup.” he ordered. Kagome turned around to face the demon, she saw the look on his face, emotionless than ever. She glared at him,

“I don’t take orders from the likes of you!” her anger bitter her words. Sesshomaru glared right back at her. The demon wanted to slit her throat and let the blood ooze out of her neck. He would love to see it, yet in some way he promised the pup.

“Without her, the pup would hate me.”

“So you do find her intriguing, do you Sesshomaru?” Sesshomaru growled to his beast inside.

“No, she is his ‘Mother’; per say.” He watched her leave the safety of the cave. Sesshomaru closed his eyes, he smelled a demonic aura all of a sudden. He opened his eyes, not seeing anything, but feeling a demon that was so powerful. He would challenge that demon, Sesshomaru was about to get up, but felt a tug on his hakama. He looked down seeing the pup clinging to him in his sleep, mumbling.

“Stay…” He saw his puppy dog ears twitch, the demon would have to stay and find that demon some other time.

“Curse you half breed!”

Kagome transform herself, smelling and sniffing the air for the boar she would catch for her pup. Her beast kept arguing with her, how he would be a tribute to seeing Inuyasha happy that he has family. Kagome knew that the young lord was a cold hearted bastard and she would watch over the pup, carefully now. She knew the lord would never change, he hated humans and hanyou’s; they’re all the same to him. It wouldn’t matter to her, no, if anything happens to her pup. She would take him and leave, even if she would have to fight for the pup.

“If that does ever happen, you know he would win.”

“Some help you are, Sesshomaru isn’t the one for protecting the pup.”

“Yet he knows that the Inu law would make him accept the pup no matter what. The only reason he is here for the pup, is his honor. If he didn’t get the pup, his title would be tainted.”

“Like I even care for that bastard.”

“Why are you being so mean to the lord? You do not know him, and yet he only attacked you was, because you started using your miko powers on him. It was self-defense, nothing more.”

“He was going to take my pup away-”

“Kagome, you know very well that he isn’t your pup. He is only your adopted son, nothing more. Sesshomaru is all he has as family. Inuyasha only had his mother, but he never knew his father. All he knows from his real mother that his father died, protecting him and his mate. Should you be so ruthless than so be it, I only tell you what is right.”

“You sound more like my father…” She stopped herself, eying the boar that was only a few meters away from her. Kagome grinned, before twitching her claws, seeing the pink glow around her fingertips. Eyes went red, she started running, using her speed, she pounce on the boar, before swiping her claws at the innocent creature. Blood tickling down her fingers, her eyes change back to her blue ones and staring down at now the dead creature.

“The pup will love this.”  Smiling proudly to her handiwork. She picked it up and used her demonic speed heading back to the cave. Once she arrived at the cave, seeing the light flicker inside, she closed her eyes and changed back to her human disguise. Picking up the dead boar by her side, using some strength she had left in her and walked inside the cave. She saw Sesshomaru stare back at her, finding it weird that she was able to kill the boar. Dropping it down on his feet, Kagome crossed her arms staring down at the demon.

“So?”

“Hn.” Sesshomaru felt movement from his tail, hearing a tiny yawn coming from down below. Kagome smiled down at her pup, while he rubbed his eyes and smiled back at her.

“Mother!” getting up from the warmth of the demons tail. Inuyasha ran to her, Kagome picked the pup up in her arms. Resting him by her hip, she poke his tiny nose, before nuzzling against it with her nose.

“How was your nap?” she asked.

“Wonderful, big brother’s tail is so warm and fuzzy.” She saw the demons glaring at the pup, she stuck her tongue at the lord, walking away to her side of the cave. Sesshomaru wondered to himself, on how he was letting a human control him, the daiyouki of all things. Looking at the dead animal that was in front of him. Something was off about the dead creature, he smelled another scent on it. The same one he smelled early when the miko left, looking over at the human, he watched her.

“Sesshomaru, is the miko is the demonic aura we felt earlier?”

“No, she cannot be. She is only a human.” reaching out, he swipe his claws, sending layers into the fire. Kagome notice this with a smirk on her face, Inuyasha’s eyes widen seeing the pretty colors of the fire changing each other. He smelled the meat cooking, his mouth water. Licking his lips, he moved away from his mother and reached out for the pig.

“Inuyasha don’t!” he brought his hand back. Kagome moved up to him, kneeling down and checking his hand. Inuyasha watched her kiss his hand, before smiling down at him. “The fire will hurt you. I know you must be hungry.” he nodded to her, giving his mother a smile.

“Listen next time, pup. I wont see another mistake from you.” his cold voice sent shivers down the pups spine. Kagome glared at the lord, Sesshomaru trailed his eyes aiming for her blue ones. Staring at each other, they both felt a spark between them,

“Listen, you-”

“I watch what you say, miko.” he silently growled at her, before standing up and leaving the cave.

“And just where do you think your going?” Sesshomaru didn’t say a word, but he kept walking out of the cave, letting the rain hit against him.

“What’s wrong with big brother?” Inuyasha asked, giving her his adorable puppy eyes. Kagome looked down at the pup, his expression of curiosity and worry. She rubbed behind his puppy ears, causing him to giggle with excitement.

“Nothing, he’s just…” staring back at the cave entrance. He stood out there, she wondered why would be stand out there. “Mysterious.” dropping the subject, she reached for the meat, examining it she blew on the meat, letting it cool down. The pups eyes widen, taking it from his mother he started eating it. “You like it?”

“Mhm, big brother did a good job, slicing and cooking it.” Kagome put her mask on, letting the pup eat.

“He is still clueless on what Sesshomaru does for him. I cannot understand how he could hate a pup. Nevertheless his own brother.”

“From looking at Sesshomaru it seems theirs a story that we don’t know about.”  Kagome stared down at the pup for a minute, she patted his head letting him eat. She stood up heading to the entrance, Sesshomaru noticed her from behind. Outside letting the rain hit against her body, she stood next to him. Her scent was interesting to the daiyouki, he closed his eyes, before opening them. Seeing the forest growing dark, minute by minute.

“Sesshomaru are you coming to eat with us?” she asked. Kagome wanted to at least try and get along with him, for Inuyasha’s sac.

“Hn.” Kagome was getting furious at him.

“That cant be your answer every time, Sesshomaru!” She was getting on his nerves, one flick and its all over.

“Hn.” letting her miko powers come to her fingers, she poke at him. She knew she was getting herself into this, but she wouldn’t stand it no more.

“At least show something, say something!” her eyes widen, when she was pushed back against a tree, his body pressing to hers. His claw hand, wrapped around her neck, she didn’t say anything, she wasn’t afraid of this demon. Sesshomaru’s eyes bleed red, jagged marks showed replacing his stripes, he started snapping his jaw at her making her frighten.

“This Sesshomaru doesn’t need you!”

“Inuyasha does, so your stuck with me.”  gripping her neck, tightly Kagome couldn’t breath. Grabbing his arm, digging her nails into his skin, caused him to let go. Looking down at her marks on him, he let himself heal quickly. Glaring down at the human, Sesshomaru was impressed.

“If the pup didn’t need you, I would have killed you.”

“Than why don’t you?” Sesshomaru changed his eye color back to his amber eyes. He thought about this, he knew his reasons and so did his beast. Kagome watched him, figuring out what to say. “My point exactly.” she moved aside him heading back to the cave, but what stopped her was his hand on her wrist, not letting go.

“Learn your place, miko.” she stared at him, seeing his mask slip bit by bit.

“Fine.” he let go of her and headed back inside the cave. Sesshomaru looked up at the sky, rain drops hitting against his face, easing himself. The miko did wonders to him that no one else could do.

“Just who is she?”
