InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Tale Of A Beautiful Demoness ❯ The Poem ( Chapter 4 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews, but just to tell you, for the past three days, my computer
wasn't working properly, AND SOME OF YOUR REVIEWS DIDN'T SHOW UP! But I read
everyone one of them, because I had the review alert on, it just didn't show up on the review
thing! So right now, everything is messed up! And it will probably remain that way! I hate things
that are not organized! v_v

Hi, I'm dragongirl, and I just got back not to long ago! I noticed dragonlady forgot to give the
preview of the next chapter, and she had some spelling mistakes!

Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha cast, and got plot from a movie!

The Poem

Kagome looked at her troops, they were getting stronger by the day. Life was going well,
if only she could locate the Jewel. Then it would be perfect, but luck wasn't with her. For three
years, there were no traces of it whatsoever. "Why Master, did you give me such a hard task?"
she whispered to the air.
Then she walked toward the training grounds to practice some moves. "Mistress!" called a
general.
Kagome turned to the general and asked, "What is it?"
"Inuyasha reported that a village north of here has a really important Jewel. He thinks it
might be the one you're looking for."
"Tell everyone I will be gone for a while. I put you in charge while I am gone, don't
disappoint me."
"Yes Mistress."

Sesshoumaru had finally reached the dojo. When he was inside, he reported all that he
knew to Inutaisho. Inutaisho was pleased that Sesshoumaru had completed his task well unlike
Kouga and Miroku and told him to prepare for another task.
"Now I want you to find a way to protect the emperor. Just try your best, because I know
it's not an easy feat."
"I will prepare right away." replied Sesshoumaru and left for his room.

Kagome had traveled for days reaching that village, only to find it was not the Jewel she
was looking for. Inuyasha had made a mistake, but Kagome wasn't mad. Inuyasha had only
wanted to help and didn't mean for her travel so far for nothing. Now Kagome was on her way
back, pondering where in the world did her Master leave the Jewel.

"Sesshoumaru! Your back." cried Miroku, as he rushed over to Sesshoumaru and gave him
a big hug "Master was furious with us."
"Why?"
"Because we messed up a delivery. Kouga was blamed for this really badly."
***Flashback***

Finally Kouga, Miroku, and the men had arrived back at the dojo. They were dirty and hungry.
Worse of all, they had failed. When they saw their Master, they had wanted to tell him
everything. "Master, we were delivering the chest and really successful until..."
"Which means you didn't accomplish this easy task."
"But..."
"No buts, you were not strong enough to do this. I am afraid I might not be able to entrust
you with any other mission. Now go and clean up. I don't want to hear any more excuses."
Kouga and the others trudged out, everyone in a horrible mood.
***End Flashback***
"That must of been really unbearable." said Sesshoumaru pitying Kouga.
"Yeah, I was on the verge of tears." added Miroku. "Especially when Kouga lost Master's
trust."
Miroku broke into sobs. Crying out what he had been holding in. "Miroku, please stop it.
I need to prepare for my next mission. I need to leave as soon as possible."
"You do?"
"Mmm, yes I do."

Kagome slipped out of her dress and into the cool, clean pond. Trying to wash away all her
problems, Kagome ducked under water and swam as graceful as any sea creature. She came back
up with a flip in the air and landed floating. Anyone passing by would have mistaken her for a
goddess, which Sesshoumaru did exactly.
Sesshoumaru stopped in his tracks when he heard water sounds and turned to see a
beautiful girl there playing with the water. She looked familiar, but he was to far away to really
notice. "I should be moving, but I can't." Sesshoumaru thought to himself.
Kagome swept her hands in arcs all around her, her power causing the water around her
to rise up like fountains. Then she zoomed out from the middle of the fountain and grabbed her
clothes and slipped into her robes in a flash. Then she was gone.
Sesshoumaru saw her leaving in the direction south from here, he followed out of
curiosity. He reached a dark cave, and went inside. It was breath taking inside, then he saw her
laying on a rock covered in lions fur. He walked up to her, the next second she had a sword
aimed at his neck. Kagome was going to kill him for daring to peek at her and then following
her, but refrained when she recognized him as the guy who saved her before.
She put her sword down, and said, "It's you. If you hadn't helped me before, you would
be in a coffin right now."
"I know, and I am sorry for peeking."
"Never mind."
"What is your name?"
"Guess."
"Um, Kagome?"
"How did you know!?!"
"I just guessed."
Then they sat together on the rock Kagome was laying on before and they got to know each
other better. They talked about what they liked and disliked, soon Sesshoumaru drifted of into
sleep with Kagome . Kagome woke up later and looked at him and smiled. She got up and at
the rock near the entrance, carved in a poem.



(I need a poem! Is anyone interested? They will be given full credit. If you are interested,
email me at dragonruler211@sbcglobal.net. The poem must be about if they are destined
to be together, they will meet again.

If no one does the poem, it will be left blank. Later, it will just be referred to as the poem
if no one volunteers.)

Later Sesshoumaru awoke and noticed Kagome was gone. He smiled and remembered the
time they had spent together. He got up and was going to continue his mission when his eyes
caught sight of the poem. He traced a hand over the carved words and memorized it into his
heart, then he left.

Review Responses:

Mistress Fluffy: He saw it! Kagome was sort of pissed. Hope you liked this chapter.

CrissyKitty: Well, Sesshoumaru is older. Kagome will be helping Sesshoumaru on the road to
get stronger, but it won't be easy! You'll find out later why. Though I'll tell you this much,
Kagome in this fic will have more experience with the world outside than Sesshoumaru. She
knows more about manipulations, assassins, and other things. Just read, everything will explain
itself eventually!
