dutch, and I still have to send this to my beta... When I get back the revised

this language, ok?

In too Deep

Chapter II: From bad to worse

A shouted: �Hey, Kagome!� Pulled her out
of her memories. Shippou was running towards her, fast. Then he dove right into
her arms.

�What�s the matter?� She
asked curiously.

�Inuyasha is at it again.
He�s cursing a lot! He�s mad about not getting any closer to that shikon shard
you were sensing.�

�I know... I don�t know why
it�s traveling so fast... Perhaps tomorrow we could-�

�Take a break! We�re all
beat, and you most of all! He can go after it himself!�

�Shippou, that shard is
important.� Kagome was very serious now.

�I know, but... I- I think
you don�t look so good.�

�I�ll be fine, honest.�

�I don�t think so.� Shippou
leaned back into her warm embrace, enjoying her soft scent.

�How�s dinner coming?�

�That�s true! I had to get
some more wood! Why do I always have to go search for it? Inuyasha never does
anything! Why me?�

�I don�t know. But do it this
time, okay? Next time, we�ll let Inuyasha do it!�

�I like to see you try,�
snorted the kit.
�Don�t go too far. You never
know what could happen.�

�What are you going to do?�

�I�ll just sit here. I have
to do something about school.�

�Okay! But isn�t it too dark
now?�

�Ehh, well, I don�t know. I�m
just going to try, all right?�

�Sure! I�ll come and get you
when dinner is ready!�

�That would be nice.�

She hadn�t finished, and yet
the kit was already gone into the woods. Kagome knew she didn�t have to worry,
and that he could look after himself, but still... he was so young, and he was
so very dear to her. She would do anything for him.

She let her mind wander back
towards the events after that evening. The morning after, she had discovered
that the bruises were luckily not that bad. She could disguise it with her
uniform. When she didn�t see hide nor hair from the Sesshoumaru for the next
three days, she dared to hope that he had forgotten about her, and that his
hand had healed nicely; therefore, he had no more need to harass her.

Unfortunatly, she was wrong.
On the fourth day, she had gotten into another fight with Inuyasha. He had been
moping since he had camek, tk, two days after he had disappeared. He had just
appeared out of no where and had said nothing about his disappearance; he just
snapped at Kagome: �I�ve heard rumors about a shard. We�ll go south!� And with
that said, he had set a brusque pace. Shippou had commented some time later
that he reeked of dirt. She really didn�t want to think about the implications
of it...

However, on that particulair
day, Shippou had asked if they could stop for today, as it was getting dark and
he was rather tired. Inuyasha blew up on him, without reason, and Kagome had
said so to him. Which resulted in a fight. Finally, when she had enough, she
had stomped off into the woods, yelling back at him that she wasn�t going
anywhere anymore tonight!

When she was far enough into the
woods, she kicked a tree, to relieve her anger. It only resulted in a bruised
toe. Fuming, she turned around, only to collide with... Sesshomaru. She was
freaked, and tried to run of course, but he had her up against a tree in no
time. Luckily, he held her up by her shoulders this time.

When he didn�t got any
satisfying answers from her (not even with the threat of death by claw), he
disappeared again.

Two days later, the same
thing had happened again. By that time, she had started to get really worried.
When would Sesshoumaru atisatisfied, and would he actually kill her then? How
many times would he come back? What if he hurt one of her friends instead? She
still decided against tellinem, em, not wanting to upset them.

said than done...

�Brat, get out of my way!� Inuyasha
snapped at Shippou who had plopped down between him and Kagome. They were
eating dinner, and Kagome had finally started to relax from another long day of
walking.

�Leave him alone, Inuyahsa!�
The hanyou however ignored her, and lifted up a hand and knocked him on his
head.

�Ouch!!� Yelled Shippou, and
he jumped up and took a few steps away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha had been taking
his temper not only out at Kagome, also the other members of the small group
were sometimes the victim of his temper tantrums. Especially Shippou seemed to
annoy him more than usual.

�What�s the matter with
you?!� Kagome asked angrily. �He didn�t do anything wrong! He just sat there!�

�He�s annoying me!�

�Well, who�s not, nowadays?!
You are always annoyed or angry or irritated! I�m sick of it! Why don�t you try
to act like a normal person sometimesven ven though she knew it would probably
lead to another row, she yelled out her frustrations.

�Yeah! You do nothing else
but blame us when something goes wrong! We can do nothing about it! You�re
stupid!� Shippou stuck his tongue at Inuyasha.

�Me stupid? Come here, you!
When I get my hands on you...� Inuyasha jumped up and started to chase after
Shippou, who yelped and ran into the woods.

�Guys! Stop that! Shippou! Inuyasha,
come here! Inuyasha, leave him alone!� Kagome ran after the two into the thick
forest, followed by Miroku and Sango.

�Where are they?� Sango asked
rather irritated.

�I do not know what�s
bothering Inuyasha. His temper is even worse than normal! What do you think,
Kagome?� Miroku gave Kagome a questioning look.

�I don�t know, and I really
don�t care right now. I want to find Shippou! Now...�

�Shall we split up?�

�Right. Let�s do that.
Miroku, go right, Sango, you left, and I�ll...� she pointed straight forwards,
�go that way.�

�All right. Be careful. Take
your bow and arrows.�

�I will. Maybe I can use them
on Inuyasha. Really, he�s gone too far now! Chasing Shippouo tho the woods, and
for what? Bastard!� Kagome was fuming.

She quickly returned to the
now deserted camp, and picked up her weapons, then quickly ran into the woods,
determined to find Shippou, and to give Inuyasha a piece of her mind!

****

She had searched for them for
about half an hour, and still she had found no signs of them. Kagome was
getting more angry by the minute. When she got her hands on Inuyasha... Major
bloodshed! She was mulling his recent behaviour over and over in her mind. She
knew he still wasn�t over the fact that she had warded off his brother, while he
had been beaten and humiliated. She had tried to talk to him, and had offered
her apologies to him; not for besting his brother, but for interfering with
their battle. She couldn�t apologize for besting his brother; she didn�t feel
sorry about it! She had tried to
explain why she had did it: she had told him she had feared for his life! She
had told him she was actually worried for him. She even admitted to him that
she cared.

He had thrown it all back
into her face. He had informed her in a snide voice that he didn�t need or *want*
her worries nor her caring. It was useless to him. Useless and unwanted. A
bother, that was all she was to him. Where was their friendship, their
understanding? If she had to believe him, it had never existed.

She climbed over a large
tree, which was blocking the path she was following. She focused all her
attentions on the dark forrest, forcefully pushing away all the hurting
thoughts about Inuyasha. She would deal with her slowly breaking heart later.
Much later. Or maybe ignore it. Or push it far back into her mind. Pretend that
everything is fine. Lalala... But was deluding herself such a good idea?

Suddenly, she heard a faint
sound.

�Shippou?� She asked softly.

�Shippou!� She said aloud.
�Hey, are you there? Come here! Please? I�ll give Inuyasha a hundred �sits�
okay? Shippou! Hey-�

She cut herself off, when
suddenly Sesshoumaru stepped out of the thick foliage.

�Oh.� Kagome took a step
back. No, not now! Why now? She wondered about her lack of luck lately.
<

�Who is this Shippou you are
looking for?� He asked desinterestedly.

�He�s the little kitsune in
our group.� She took another step back, as the Youkai advanced on her.

�Stay still.� He commanded
her.

Kagome just looked at him,
and blinked. Then frowned. �No! I don�t have time for this!�

With that, she turned around
and run as fast away from him as she could.

If she had looked around for
a single moment, she had run even faster; Sesshoumaru was surprised, for a
milisecond. Then, it turned to rage. No one dismissed/disobeyed/ignored him!
Red started to cloud the clear gold of his eyes. The Miko would regret her
disobedience! He took off after her.

Kagome was running blindly
further into the woods; her heart was racing madly. What had she done? Say no
to a Demon Lord?! Smooth move! Oh, I am so dead! Kagome couldn�t think clearly
anymore, as a feeling of dread came over her. But she had to find Shippou! But
maybe she should be more worried about her own fate.

She felt the shiftings of the
air, right before a weight hurled into her back and she was slammed to the
ground. Because of the impact, the air left her lungs forcefully, and left her
coughing and gasping for breath. Her bow and quiver fell to the ground beside
her, but it went unnoticed by Kagome.

Before she had any time to
regain her bearings, she was rolled over. The first thing that registered into
her fogged mind were two golden eyes, with a reddish hue...

�Sesshoumaru!� She gasped.

He deliverd her a blow to her
cheek, and her face whipped to the right. A red mark immediatley appeared on
her pale skin.

�If you value your worthless
life, wench, I suggest you�ll never do that again.� He hauled her up by her
shirt, and growled at her. �Never try to disobey me! I don�t take well to that
kind of treatment by anyone... Certainly not by a pathetic slip of a human like
yourself.�

�I-I�m sorry! Please, let
go!� She whispered.

He let go of her shirt and
unbalanced, she fell to the ground. Uncertainly, she looked up to see
Sesshoumaru looking down at her with a look of contempt and disgust on his
face.

�You sure are a weak
creature; the power you displayed that afternoon was just a fluke, wasn�t it?
You know no way to summon it, nor use it in any way... you�re absoluetly
worthless, just like my half-brother says...�

Kagome flinched like she had
recieved another slab. How does he knows that... Why does everyone thinks
I�m... I�m not! I�m not worthless... No!

She worked herself on her
feet, using a nearby tree for support. These words shouldn�t hurt this much...
It was just a murdering taiyoukai who said such things. He didn�t even know
her. He knew nothing about her! She blinked repeatedly, willing the hot,
burning tears to stay in her eyes. She would not cry in front of him.

A cold smirk played on the
lips of Sesshoumaru. �Yes, worthless, useless; a typical human. I think I�ll
end your meaningless existence now. I-�

He was abruptly cut off when
a small form ran into him. He swatted the kitsune away, like he was a pesky
fly.

Shippou jumped before Kagome.
�Leave her alone!� He cried out.

�Shippou, no! Stay back,�
Kagome tried to shove Shippou behind her. She was immensly relieved to see him
without a scratch, but how was she going to protect him from Sesshoumaru?!

�No! He wants to kill you!�
Shippou said, looking very afraid.

�And just how are you going
to stop me?� Sesshoumaru leaned a bit forwards, his voice mocking the little
fox.

Shippou balled his little
fists, and suddenly launched himself at the Demon Lord, who nonchalantly took a
step to the side. Then he reached out and grabbed the little kit by his tail,
and threw him away; Shippou collided with a tree, and gave a little �eep� as he
fell to the forestfloor.

Sesshoumaru advanced towards
him, and reached up one hand, and the claws started glowing. His intent was
clear.

�No! Stop!� Kagome screamed,
and run to intercept him.

�Don�t worry, you�re next.�
And he paid her no further heed.

Where are my arrows? Kagome
was looking franticly for a weapon to use. She had lost them somewhere... But
where? It was impossible to find them in the night, on the dark ground.

But she would not let Shippou
come to harm! She would rather die than let anything happen to him.

Fear for Shippou�s life
seemed to give her wings, and she ducked under Sesshoumaru�s raised arm, and
stood before Shippou�s unconscious body.

The Taiyoulai looked down at
her, like she was something vile, and said with a sneer. �If you are so eager
for your death, why wouldn�t you just say so.�

�Leave him alone!�

�It�s just a kitsune. There
are countless of them. What is so special about this, that you will die for
him?�

�I love him! And besides
that, he�s a living, breathing creature. A child! Do you kill children? Are you
that despicable?� She cried out.

He let out a low growl at
hearing her words. �Watch what you�re saying.�

�Ah! But you don�t deny it!�

�If anyone, even a child,
dares to defy me, he gets what he deserves.� He replied coolly. He took a step
closer towards her. �I am not going to explain how a lowlife like yourself and
that kitsune should be treating I, Sesshoumaru. You are nothing more than
filth, littering the earth.�

Kagome was surprised at how
deep his disgust and hatred for humans ran. She was shocked by his obvious
disregard of life. His arrogance... unbearable.

�Stay there. Because I will
hurt you!�

�Stupid girl. You can�t hurt
me. You�re weak. You will always be weak. You cannot protect the ones you
love... It�s pathetic to see you try. You�re failing so miserably. So typical.�

�No!� Kagome felt the deep
buried anger and hurt of the similar insults of Inuyasha erupt in her, and
Sesshoumaru�s tauntingultsults were added fuel to her rising anger. That,
together with the despair and fear for Shippou that she felt, made her vision
swim; so violent were these emotions ripping through her. They needed an
outlet. Now.

She pushed her hands against
Sesshoumaru�s armour, who had taken another step closer. A disdainful smirk on
his face. His hand started to glow; such a bright colour.

�No! I am not weak! I am
NOT!� She screamed, and she let go; energy, pent up in her body, screaming for
a release, came rushing out of her hands. It enveloped her with a shocking
bright light. Pure white. It cancelled through her hands, right into... Right
into the demon Lord. His face showed his surprise for just a fraction of a
second. Then, his face twisted in a grimace. A grimace of pain, as the force of
that energy tore ugh ugh his armour and flesh and threw him away from her. It
smashed him through several trees, until it dropped him, and then the energy
disappated. Gone, just as swiftly and mysteriously as it came. The taiyoukai
was laying on the ground, unmoving.

>

Kagome�s breathed in and out
deeply; heaving gasps. She looked at him, with disbelief clearly written on her
face. What had just happened? She wondered. Everything had happened in a blur.
The images were vague... What had donedone?

Still panting from the
exertion, she turned around, and picked Shippou He wHe was unconsious, but
breathing steadily, so Kagome dared to hope that he would soon wake up, and be
okay.

She turned slightly, to l onc once more at the fallen form of Sesshoumaru. Was he badly hurt? She hadn�t
killed him, had she? Oh, she hoped not! The white clothes and the silvery hair
lightened up eerily in the light of the moon. Why, after all he had done to her
and her friends, did she almost threw up with the thought she might have killed
him?

But as she took a hesitant
step towards the youkai, he started to move. Kagome froze for a single moment,
then turned around and ran as fast as she could in the direction of their camp,
with Shippou safely in her arms. She did not want to wait for his reaction! She
did appreciate her life, after all. Plus, she still had to deal with one irate
hanyou!

Sesshoumaru watched them
disappearing in the forest. His armour was (again) completely ruined, and he
could smell his own blood. The bitch had burnt him. He rose slowly, and the
pieces of his armour clattered on the ground.

He had underestimated her
again. Or she was just unpredictable. Maybe both; she apparently wasn�t exactly
in control of her powers. Nor aware how to use them. Interesting. They were
conected with her emotions. When she feared for the safety of her friends, and
saw no other way out, she could somehow tap into it, and use it to protect
them... She could be very powerful. Maybe, in time, she would be the best
protector of her little group. Even more powerful than Inuyasha. Of course;
that wouldn�t take much...

�I�ll see you soon, little
M� He� He whispered at the silent clearing. A threat and a promise combined. He
didn�t know why exactly he still bothered with her. Curiousity, that was it.
And a desire to get even with her. And he would do whatever it takes, to show
her no one bested this Sesshoumaru.

****

Of course then, Kagome hadn�t
been aware of hntenntentions. If she had known, she would have run screaming to
the well, to hide. Kagome smirked at herself. Yes, if she had known what he
would do to her, she would have gone back home, only to reappear six months
later, or something. Maybe then he would have let go of his anger. Sad eyes red red into the falling darkness, but saw nothing. If only she had know, she
could have been... prepared. At least prepared for the confusion, the hurt and
being in the constant state of anxiety. Maybe, that would have made things
easier to bear now...
