Chapter 12: Love is in the air...(yeah right) part 2

Last time: Sanji had felt his aura a long time ago but didn't say anything about it. Why was that monk following them? If he had any thoughts to take Sango from him he had another thing coming. Sango had told him brief tales of their travels and how he groped her all the time...so dishonorable...He should've been killed a long time ago.

Lady Nefertiti: I apologize for the long wait and time in updating my fics, seeing how so many people enjoy reading this fic and many others of mine and I appreciate my readers and reviewers for thier patience...My fics 'Does it hurt' and 'Porcelain' have been updated and my others will be updated shortly.

Well without further ado, enjoy reading this chapter.

-Kagome-

Twitch...

Twitch...

(cue the crickets)

Tick...

Tock...

Oh for the love of god!! She was feeling very mad at the moment. The cold ice baka had left her! Again! Was some 'boom' sound more important than her? She was going to go and look for him and drag him back with his silver white hair if need be! Yeah that's what she was going to go and do! She had needs too and there was no bloody enemies out ready to attack them. Jaken needed to have his hide whipped for spreading lies! And yes she was allowed to speak like that to herself at least or in front of Sesshomaru which well... he liked her dirty talk and that led to something else...never mind.

She cracked her knuckles. She'd never felt so angry before. Taking her mate from her like that! The hell they were in danger in this castle! Sesshomaru would've known it even before they reached the western borders. BAH! She plopped on the bed, thier bed, on her stomach and sceamed into a pillow. Ah...she felt much better. Now all she had to do was wait and take out her anger on Sesshomaru when he came back...he always managed to overpower her if she decided to attack him and found it amusing too!! GAHHH!! Maybe she should act drunk again and then Sesshomaru would pay attention to her!

She shook her head and sighed, her head on the pillow as she stared out of the window moodily. She was acting like a child and she was supposed to be the Lady of the western lands. It wouldn't do for her to go and act like a child who needed anger-management. haaa...maybe a nap would do her some good. She was feeling very tired at the moment and very moody. If she didn't know better she would've thought she was pregnant but what were the odds of that happening and now anyway? Well at least her baby would have the protection of her blood as well as Sesshomaru's. He probably didn't even know that their heir would be a full-blooded demon and not half. 'Oh well, guess that'll have to wait...' was Kagome's last thought as she dozed off. 'Mmm...chocalate-chip ice-cream sundaes...and banana splits...' she dreamed.

-Shippo and Rin-

"How boring. Mama went to sleep and Sesshomaru-sama went away." Shippo remarked.

"They aren't our target this time Shippo." Rin said in a mysterious voice full of childish mischeif as both made their way through the halls like shadows.

"Great. Now it sounds like we're going to go and kill someone off...But I suppose as being an adopted daughter you can get away with anything right?" Shippo said.

"Hn." Rin said.

"I need a new hobby..." Shippo said as he followed Rin towards an unknown hallway which basically spelled out, 'Don't enter' with all it's webs and gloominess but they were going that way...and he sighed. Why were they going that way? Why was Rin so hell bent on helping or rather annoying whoever 'this person' was? and yet he followed her. It was his duty to protect his adopted sister.

-Somewhere not in the palace-

"Kagome-sama appears to be alone at the present time my lord. Totally unaware since she is asleep." a monotone voice said from the shadows. (insert evil laugh from lord) The guard didn't even flinch. He was used to it by now. Anyone who would've heard it would probably be scared out of thier wits.

"How interesting. Looks like that dog has left her for the time being. So his 'I protect what is mine' speech is a lie after all. His beloved Kagome could fall into danger at any time. I do wonder if he even has any idea that my men are upon him as we speak..." He frowned as her image came into his mind. Her constant refusal of him had annoyed him and she thought herself to be in love with that savage demon, an inferior being to them?!

-Sango and Sanji-

"So you must really be a good with a sword if Sesshomaru-sama has you training new rookies..." Sango started. She was making a statement rather than fawning over him that he was so 'big and strong' (etc). She was being respectful and admiring that Sesshomaru-sama had so much trust in him...And that's what Sanji liked about her. If it had been any demoness, of the royal court or not she would've thrown herself at him, it'd happened before and he shuddered. Her name had been Seira. Although she was mated to one of the royal court, she always had a fancy for him...and no matter how many times he'd kindly turned her down she just never listened. She'd met an unfortunate end at her mate's sword...and Sanji shook his head. He actually felt bad for her. All she did was love him...and love was a dangerous thing indeed...

"Sanji are you alright?" Sango said and placing a hand on his shoulder, not hearing the human growl behind her.

"Yes. Just lost in thought. I apologize for my..." he began but then stopped, narrowed his eyes and pushed Sango behind him sensing danger, a dangerous aura around them and pulled his sword out, at the ready.

"What in the..." Sango said blinking. She didn't think he was just striking a pose to look good. He looked like someone was about to attack them but they were all alone here! Unless someone had followed them? Why would they unless they thought she was going to exterminate Sanji with her boomarang? She would never! even if someone told her too...she was growing fond of him...was starting to care about him...She could talk to him so easily, so normally like they'd been friends forever, she was slightly attracted to him and his good looks but was this love? She felt a coldness creep around her like it was getting dark all of a sudden when it was only midday! She started to pull out her sword, hey her skills weren't completely useless...

"Leave your sword, Sango-sama." Sanji said as he watched her sigh and put it back into its sheath. He then whipped around to the source of the cool voice he heard behind him.

"It appears your castle is under attack demon. It's best you go and inform your lord if he is unaware at the moment. Of course he could be with Kagome-sama and in that case he'd kill you for interrupting him..."

"Miroku! Where have you been?!" Sango said happily from behind Sanji's shoulder.

(Insert jealous growl from Sanji.)

Great just what he needed at the moment. The perverted monk that Sango seemed so fond of, despite his lecharous behavior. He wasn't about to leave Sango here with that...that...unholy man. Maybe he'd take her along with him.

"I guess training will have to wait ne?" Sango said squeezing his shoulder and trying to ease his tension which she could feel. She could bet anything that it was because of Miroku and not the problem/battle that could occur anytime. Demons were possessive over what was thiers and she'd have to remember that. She just wondered what Kagome was up to at the moment...and hoped that she was safe.

-Sesshomaru-

He was standing in his study and looked out the window with an expressionless face. Something about this darkening sky was odd... Like it was a mirage of some sort, not real. He turned away and walked out of his study in silence. He'd deal with this but for now he had to make sure his mate was safe. He was sure she'd be a little upset, 'Maybe this time she'll throw something else at me...and not pillows this time.' Kagome was truly one of a kind.

-Shippo and Rin-

"What did you do?! Was this your hair-brained plan?!" Shippo asked her, pointed as he stared into the darkening sky.

"You baka! This wasn't the plan...I don't, I can't do things like that!" Rin said poking his chest then pointing at the sky.
