Chapter 7: Deceptive Beauty 1

Once Kagome was out of earshot, she began running as fast as her legs allowed her. Twigs snagged her clothes and bushes blocked her path. With little light and slippery leaves, she ran until her lungs screamed for air, and even that did not stop her. Kagome noticed a bright light through the thick forest. �I bet that�s a valley. I can lie down and confide with the moon. At least it will listen to me without yelling back!� She burst through the last of the forest only to see a large drop off a couple feet in front of her. Kagome screamed as she slid on the small rocks, onto her hip, and then on her arm before she came to a stop mere inches before she fell to her death. Kagome dropped her head and gasped for air when she realized just how close she came to her fatal end.

�Wow.� She gulped in the much needed air. �That was close.� Kagome shakily stood and brushed the small pebbles that were engraved into her leg, away She flinched as they fell to the ground with droplets of blood following.

�Oh� this is the second time I�ve made myself bleed today. I really need to stop.� Kagome took in a deep breath and gazed up at the moon as a warm breeze blew by. As she exhaled, she closed her eyes and her heart finally smiled. �At least no one can hurt me here.� The moon looked down at Kagome waiting to listen to her every word without interjection. Kagome knew this and it made her smile on the outside as well. She stared out into the open sky with the tops of the evergreens far below. A few clouds floated by but most of the stars were seen shining bright. Kagome walked to the edge of the cliff, closed her eyes, and stretched her arms out to the sides.

�I wish I could fly. Just get away from here and never look back. To be free. To live for myself. What I wouldn�t do to just fly away.� Kagome took in another deep breath and dropped her arms and lowered her head as she sighed. �I can dream though.�

�Miko.� Kagome turned around when she heard a powerful voice and took a step back as Sesshomaru�s figure towered over her. Big mistake. Kagome slipped and fell off the cliff. She waited for the impact to kill her when a strong arm wrapped around her waist. Sesshomaru kicked off the side of the cliff and leaped from tree top to tree top. A small valley became their final destination. Kagome opened her eyes and dropped to her knees when they finally landed.

�Why� why did you save me?� Kagome looked up still shocked by the fall and rescue.

�I expected gratitude, not questions to my reasoning.� Sesshomaru stared down at Kagome with his usual stoic expression.

�Oh. I�m sorry Sesshomaru.� Kagome stood up, took a few steps back, and faced him. Even though he had over a foot on her, she met his stare. �Why does this human have the audacity to challenge me every time we encounter one another? She shows no respect for me. How very� noble.� Sesshomaru grinned in his mind.

�Thank you for catching me, but why did you do it? You hate humans! Why am I any different

�My reasons are none of your concern.� Sesshomaru turned to the moon, which memorized him. Memories of the last time he saw his father alive under the nights watch came to him, but that cowardly moon hid on that night behind a curtain of shadows. Never to witness the crime against his father and never to speak a word of it to anyone. Still, he hoped that one day the answers he had been searching for would be revealed by the mystical moon. He was soon jolted back to the present when Kagome sighed and bowed her head.

�Thanks Sesshomaru, but now I have to find a way back to camp. Excuse me� Kagome began to walk in the direction she thought camp to be. Backs to each other he questioned her.

�Why do you return to that imbecile half breed if he only makes you miserable?� Kagome stopped and her eyes fell even further down. Quietly she answered.

�I only go back to find the rest of the jewel shards. Once it�s completed I will leave and be out of your hair. What you do to Inuyasha after that is not up to me. He may make me miserable but I don�t have a choice. I have to find the sacred jewel shards.� Kagome heard a low growl come from Sesshomaru as he turned to face her.

�What makes you think I won�t kill him before that?� Kagome raised her eyes. She knew that he could kill her in an instant, but she didn�t care. Lacking all fear, she challenged him again, by turning to meet his stare. His eyes burned with power, anger, and a hint of curiosity, but that hint of curiosity inspired him to ask in the first place.

�If I have anything to do about it, you won�t.� Kagome once again lost all emotions. An even deeper and louder growl was heard and Kagome soon found herself on the ground with Sesshomaru�s foot on her chest holding her in place. She could see his sharp fangs glisten in the moons light and his silver hair blew gently in the warm breeze.

�You annoy this Sesshomaru. I should kill you now.�

�Please do.� A small smirk came across Kagome�s face. She had asked him a second time for death that he would not grant. He removed his foot and allowed her to sit up before he continued.

�Why do you look for death when you claim to have obligations?� Kagome sat with both legs bent and to the right. Her hands stabled her shaking when she answered.

�Obligations� yeah, I need to find the jewel, but if I were dead, Inuyasha still has Kikyo to fall back on, and he wouldn�t have to choose anymore.� Sesshomaru knew what she meant by not having to choose anymore.

�So he has run off with the dead priestess again�. I, personally, would prefer the living to the dead.� Kagome stood up and stared into his swirling pools of gold. A hidden treasure only to be found by those who risked their lives by looking into the penetrating eyes of death.

�At least you do.� Still upset, Kagome began to walk away once again.

�Woman.� Kagome shot back with annoyance.

�I have a name ya know.� She did not stop nor turn around to acknowledge him but kept walking instead.

�Very well� Kagome.� Surprised that Sesshomaru had actually used her name, she turned to face him. It would only be polite since he did refer to her by her name, instead of woman or miko. She shouldn�t have cared about being polite considering he tried to kill her, but for using her name she granted him this gesture. Although the star covered sky was now blanketed with pillow soft clouds, there was just enough light to see the small smirk come across his face.
