Put Not Your Trust In Princes

@@@@

The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, and Shall Delight Themselves In the Abundance of Peace.

- Psalms 37:11

@@@@

Lord Sesshomaru. Lord Killing Perfection. The Great Killing Perfection. Nothing in his name could equal his fathers. Lord Touga. Lord Graceful. Lord Sophisticated. The Great Graceful Sophisticated Lord. Hers means Beautiful Giving Sprout. Not anything like his own. His was meant for killing, hers was meant for giving, killing and giving do not go together.

If at all possible Sesshomaru's vacant expression became even more distanced from the forest he was currently walking through.

"Master Jaken?...Master Jaken?...Master Jaken?...MASTER JAKEN?!?!"

"WHAT RIN?!?!"

"Does Lord Sesshomaru know this is InuYasha's forest?"

"Of Course he does you stupid girl!!!! Lord Sesshomaru is all Knowing!! Lord Sesshomaru is always aware of his sur--"

"Jaken."

"Yes my Lord"

And everything was silent.

"Moon river,

Wider than a mile,

I'm crossing you in style, someday

Oh dream maker--"

"Oy! Kagome, shut up already!!!!"

I sighed as Shippo's eyes popped open. "Be right back Shippo" I set him down on the futon in Kiede's hut and stomped outside.

"Excuse me Mr. Macho Man!! I had NO IDEA that singing to my son bothered you so much! He was almost asleep too Ja-Ku!!!!" I yelled at the Hanyou sitting on top of the hut.

"Your squawking isn't going to help him sleep!! It's just annoying!" He called down to me.

"OSWARI!!!!" I yelled. InuYasha proceeded to fall face first in front of me.

"Now that wasn't nice" Miroku said, jumping into the conversation while wrapping an arm around my waist. "I thought her singing was beautiful!! Isn't that what her name means? Beautiful Giving Sprout?"

"Why thank you Miroku" I said as I pinched the hand on my butt. "But we can do without the haptics if you please." I went back inside the hut and gathered Shippo in my arms. "Come on Shippo, what do you say I sing to you by the well?"

Shippo yawned and turned in my arms and pressed his face agenst my grey T-shirt. "Ok" He sighed. I smiled at him as I left the hut, totally ignoring the crater with the red clad dog in it.

As I walked up the hill towards the well I felt an ominous feeling wash over me. I was probably being paranoid. Hanging out with youkai with powers all the time was giving me a complex. I sat down beside the well and crossed my green sweat pant clad legs and cuddled Shippo to my chest as I continued the song I sung to him every night.

"You heart breaker,

Wherever you're goin',

I'm goin' your way,

Two drifters..."

He sat in a tree a half mile away from his camp and watched the Beautiful Giving Sprout sing to her kit. Why would she adopt a fox kit when it wasn't even her species? She sang to him as if he were her own son, and held him close. She didn't care that he was a youkai and could tear her neck apart at this very moment. No, she cared for him despite that.

It had been many months now that the Lord had watched the Sprout. Studying what she did, what she said, what she ate, and her movements. There was something otherworldly about her. After all these months he could finally conclude a few things about her.

1- She talked with strange metaphors and puns that made no sense.

2- She cared for everyone around her.

3- She ate everything out of a container, never just her hand, a concept she had taught the monk and the slayer. (His brother was another matter entirely)

4- She had a way of dancing as she walked, swaying her hips and taking light graceful steps.

He loved her and hated her.

He couldn't help but love the woman. She was happy, caring, giving, and beautiful. She was everything that could melt his heart. But she was human, he hated all humans, and loving her made him disgusted with himself. How could he fall for a human? If anything, his love made his hate grow stronger. Now, after all these months of watching, waiting, it was time to kill her, and get his life back on track.

Shippo was about to drift off to dreamland when he caught a scent he feared, and it was coming at rapid speed.

"Mama, duck!!"

I had learned to always do what Shippo said when he sounded like that, he was a youkai and he could have smelled, heard, felt, or saw something that I didn't. And that's just what it was. Just as I hit the ground with my hands over my head I felt a gust of wind almost blow me over. I peeked from under my hands to see Sesshomaru standing beside the well, Tokijin brought out and pointed at Shippo.

"Get up human!!!! Face your death honorably!!" He glared at me.

Death? He wanted to kill me? He's never come after me before! Now, usually I wouldn't care about honor the way he and InuYasha would, but dying with my hands over my head while a 4-year-old fox kit tried to protect me wasn't anything to be proud of, so I slowly started to stand up and I pushed Shippo behind me as I glared into the angry red eyes of Sesshomaru.

He brought Tokijin up to my throat, the tip only a centimeter from my jugular, I leaned agenst the well as I stared into his eyes.

"Why do you want to kill me Sesshomaru?" I asked him. He only continued to glare. "Why don't you answer me?" I asked, anger rising in my chest, I was about to die, by HIS HANDS!!!! The LEAST he could do was answer my question!!

"I don't answer because talking to the dead is ridiculous"

"I'm not dead yet"

"Your about to be"

"Why?"

He paused. "I cannot tell you that" The red started to drain from his eyes as we stared at each other.

"Lord Sesshomaru," I used the name he preferred humans to call him because it could possibly save my life, so why not right? "You've never come after me before, it's always InuYasha, you've only ever tried to hurt me if I got in your way, so why now? What's the point of killing me?"

"Because you ARE in my way"

"I'll go back to the village without a sound if I'm in your path" I said meekly, I was practically begging now.

"No, your very life is in my way, I cannot continue down my own path as long as you continue down yours. You must die"

I closed my eyes and expected to never open them again but when I didn't feel anything I opened them again, and found that Sesshomaru wasn't even looking at me anymore, his head was turned to the side and his eyes were wide. I risked a glance to my left and saw a little girl, the little girl that Kohaku almost killed that night so long ago, the little girl that always travels with Lord Sesshomaru, the little girl who gathered InuYasha's beads for me when they were broken by the sword of hell, the little girl whose name was Rin.

"Rin! Back to the camp!!!!" Sesshomaru ordered her. She just stood there and stared at us with wide, doe-like, brown eyes.

"Lord Sesshomaru...your not going to hurt Kagome are you?" She asked innocently. Only an 8-year-old would have to ask if he was going to hurt me upon seeing him holding a sword to my neck.

Tears started to well in her eyes as she called, "Lord Sesshomaru NO!!"

Topic of Discussion: New Carpet

Yesterday Our Whole House Was Getting New Carpet In It. Harmless Enough. Unless You're the 1 Who Has 2 Move ALL the Furniture and Boxes to the Basement!! My Family and I Live In a 4 Story House. Basement, Main Floor, Second Floor, and Attic. So I Had to Move Tables, Couches, TVs, and Beds to the Basement! I Also Had to Take ALL the Books, lamps, the Computer, and Pillows Down In Boxes. So Yesterday While They Were Giving Us the New Carpet I Was Icing My Sore Muscles At My Grandma's House. But Lo!!!! She's Not THERE!! She's Out of Town. So If I Needed Anything, I Had 2 Get It Myself. Usually That Doesn't Matter, But When Just Breathing Hurts the Muscles I Pulled In My Stomach, Just Getting a Glass of Water Makes Me Wish I Had a Shotgun In My Hand. Ok, Not Really, But It Hurt Like Hell! I'm Still REALLY Sore!!!! *Tear* Owwww....

Chu!!
