The thunder and lightning by Lady Katherine Of The Vampires

Chapter 1

Kagome ran she didn't know where she was headed but she didn't care she just needed to get away. Her eyes were full of tears and it was getting hard to see but she just kept running. She kept running until she couldn't run any longer and she fell and hit the ground. She let out one last sob before drifting to the world of the unconscious unaware of the golden eyes that watched her. He wondered what could have possibly happened to make her so upset. The girl who seemed to always be so unbelievably happy was now laying on the ground in front of him we red swollen eyes from crying and then scent of salty tears. He wasn't sure if he should just leave her there of take her with him. After a moment of thinking he decided he'd take her with him. He wanted to know what upset her so badly. So he picked her up off the ground and took to the air with her in his arms. He arrived at the palace and walked through the long hallway to a bedroom. It was right next to his. He placed her on the bed at down next to her. He looked at her, her face had the most sad looks on it. He watched as she started to wake.

"Huh? Where am I? And how did I get here?"

"Your at my palace because I brought you here."

"Why?"

He ignored her question and asked his own "Miko, why were you crying?"

"Because....because of Inuyasha"

"Why though"

"He's an asshole" she said as a silent tear ran down her cheek

"Yes, but Kagome what did he do?"

"I suppose there's getting out of this so I'll just start from the beginning. I had just gotten home and you know how I'm not from this time. You know that right?"

He nodded in reply

"Well I had just gotten home when I realized I left my math book back in Kaede's village which wouldn't have been a problem if I didn't have a test coming up. Well so came back to get and was on my way through the forest when I heard something the bushes so I went over to see what it was and there was Inuyasha and Kikyou. Inuyasha was kissing Kikyou and she asked why he was with me and not her and he told her he loved her and would always love her not me and they continued to umm...do stuff." she said as more tears streamed down her cheek.

Sesshomaru was angry with his half brother for betraying Kagome for the walking clay pot. But right now he wanted to no had to comfort Kagome. He put his arm around her and in comforting voice he told her that Inuyasha was a fool to pick that clap pot over her as he rubbed her back purring into her. It was strange but it always seemed to calm down human females. After her crying stopped he asked her if she wished to return even though he knew the answer.

"No " she replied

"Then do you wish to stay?"

"Well...if its not to much trouble..."

"Very well this shall be your room then. A servant will be by soon to show you to the hot springs and around the rest of the palace but I have work to do and Rin should be around and I'm sure she'd be happy to see you"

"Ok, thank you" she said as he walked out from her room

-*With Inuyasha*-

"Miroku, Sango Kagome's gone " yelled Inuyasha

"I know Inuyasha she left this mourning to got back to her time"

"No you guys I just went to her house her mom said she's came back here but I cant find her."

"Don't worry Inuyasha I'm sure she'll be fine" Said Sango

"Fine but if she's not back by tomorrow we go out to find her"

"Fair enough" replied Miroku as he walked away following 2 young woman

"Monk," said Sango obviously irritated

"Uhh yes dearest Sango?" he said with a scared expression on his face. Sango hit him on the head with her boomerang effectively knocking him out she then dragged him into Kaede's hut.

"Looks like a storm is coming" said Sango as she walked back out of the hut.

"Yea...."replied Inuyasha

"I hope your alright Kagome" he whispered into the air

-*Back to Kagome*-

Kagome had just finished her bath and was wearing the most beautiful kimono. It was white with light blue flowers on the sleeves. She was outside in the garden with Rin picking flowers. The garden was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. The were 50 or so different types of flowers it was magnificent. Kagome looked up towards the sky and noticed the dark looking clouds.

"Rin it looks as if it might storm I think we should go inside"

"Ok Kagome, Rin thinks it might storm too" she replied looking to the sky

Sesshomaru was in his study he watched Kagome and Rin walk back towards the castle to come inside and just made it when it started to down poor. He watched the rain fall for a moment then returned to his desk to finish his paperwork.

"Rin wait" cried Kagome as she was chasing Rin. She paused in front Sesshomaru's study door out of breath as Rin ran a head of her. He could hear her breathing hard and knew that they where probably playing a tag game or something.

"How does she have some much energy? We just spent two hours outside how is she still so, so not tired?"

Sesshomaru could hear her and smiled. There was just something about her that calmed his beast he didn't know what it was but he wasn't complaining. It was still raining After dinner in fact it was raining a lot harder than before. Kagome had a now very sleepy Rin in her arms and Rin had her arms around Kagome's neck and Her legs around her waist. Kagome was walking to Rin's room.

"I'm not sleepy Kagome.."said Rin with a yawn as Kagome laid her in her bed.

Kagome chuckled and said "mmmhmm sure" as she laid Rin her bed and covered her up. She kissed her on the forehead and said goodnight and left Rin's room. Kagome was on her way to her room when she heard aloud thunder that scared and she nearly ran into Sesshomaru.

"Don't tell me your afraid of a little thunder, Kagome" said Sesshomaru

"No I was just....startled"

"I can smell your fear Kagome" he whispered into her ear then he kissed her on the cheek and told her goodnight before leaving to his room. Kagome walked into her room completely shocked the Sesshomaru kissed her. Sure it was on the cheek but a kiss none the less. She changed into some night clothes and laid down on her bed. She wasn't asleep for 5 minutes before the thunder woke her up. Sure it scared her a little bit but what was she supposed to do. She looked out her window and saw a flash of lightning and it did scare her she didn't know why but thunder and lightning always scared her. After about five minutes of seemingly nonstop thunder she got up walked to her door she opened it quietly and stepped out into the hallway. She silently walked to the Sesshomaru's door and tiptoed in. Of course no matter how quiets she was he heard her well and he could smell her...he turned his face to meet hers.

"Sesshomaru I..umm..."

"Your afraid of thunder and lightning." he finished her sentence

"Well...just a tiny bit."

He moved over to let her in the bed. She crawled into the bed and laid down next him. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him. She smiled at him and he told her to go to sleep.

"Goodnight Sesshomaru" she yawned

"Goodnight Kagome" he replied to her

Kagome woke up the next mourning to Sesshomaru tapping her.

"I don't want to get up sesshy"

"Wake up" he said in a quite playful voice

"Why?"

"Because if you don't I'll.." he was cut off by Kagome

"You'll do what?" she asked with her head under a pillow.

"This" he replied and started tickling her. She started squirming around and before long broke out laughing.

"Stop, please" she begged as tickled her she eventually managed to get away and ran out the door laughing although Sesshomaru being a demon wasn't far behind her. Kagome ran out into the garden. She looked around trying to figure out where Sesshomaru had hidden to. He was behind her and before she had time to think he jumped on her but making sure he wouldn't hurt her. And they landed right into a bed of flowers.

"Never run from a predator Miko, or for that matter turn your back to them." He said to her. She smiled at him and replied "Right I'll remember that next time when you decide to tickle me awake." He smiled at her and then got up off her and helped her up and they walked back into the castle. Kagome went into her room and put on a light purple dress that had darker purple flowers on it. She looked absolutely beautiful. After a moment of admiring herself in the mirror there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." she replied to the knock. And Rin popped in with a cute smile on her face.

"Good mourning Kagome" she said with her cute little smile

"Good mourning Rin" Kagome said returning her smile

"You look really pretty Kagome"

"Thanks"

"Help Rin look pretty like you" Kagome smiled at Rin then replied "Ok lets go and pick out something to wear than." Rin took Kagome's hand and practically dragged Kagome down the hall to her room. When they got to her room, Rin sat on the bed waiting for Kagome to pick out something for her to wear. Kagome picked out a dress that looked a lot like the dress she was wearing, only blue. Rin put it on without question than turned to gaze into the mirror.

"Rin looks pretty now, Like you!" said Rin gazing at herself in the mirror

"Your always pretty Rin"

"Thank you Kagome but master Jaken always says differently."

"Well Rin he must be jealous or something. Not that I blame him I mean if I looked like him well...BLEH" Rin laughed in agreement when there was a knock on the door. It was a servant, she told Rin it was breakfast time. Rin again took Kagome's hand and dragged her out the door to the dining room. Sesshomaru was already there when Rin dragged Kagome in. He looked at them both seeing the similarity.

"Well you two look a lot alike this mourning you both look very beautiful"

"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru"replied Rin. Kagome smiled her thanks and sat down on the right side of Sesshomaru and Rin on the left. Sesshomaru began to eat signaling them to eat. Kagome had an apple and a few orange slices not much after that then just talked with Rin and Sesshomaru.

"Rin what are your plans for today?" Asked Sesshomaru

"Rin wondered if her and Kagome could go to the village to shop?"

Sesshomaru nodded "very well"

Rin jumped out of her chair and ran to Kagome. Sesshomaru walked over to them and handed Kagome some money and told them to be carful and left for his study.

-*With Inuyasha*-

"Kagome isn't back yet you guys and the rain washed away her scent I cant find her" Said Inuyasha as he paced back and forth with a worried expression on his face.

"Alright, well Me, Miroku, and Shippo will take Kirara and look for her and you go some other direction other than the one we go in and search for her there" said Sango

"Alright which way are you going?" asked Inuyasha

"Ummmm.....west" replied Sango

"Ok.....wait why would she be west?"

"I don't know but have looked in that direction?"

"Well...not exactly"

"Well ok then were going west"

"Fine I'll go south."

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo went west on Kirara and Inuyasha went south. When he was looking for Kagome he just happend to run into Kouga.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST KAGOME!!! You stupid mut! I knew I shouldn't have left you with MY woman."

"She's not your woman"

"Sure she is I claimed her!"

"That doesn't make her yours!"

"What ever mut, but I'm going out to find MY woman" he said in an almost taunting voice

"Mangy wolf," muttered Inuyasha as he went back to looking for Kagome

Kirara and the rest of them had just entered the Western Lands and were looking around for Kagome. When Rin and Kagome came into view on Ah-Un's back.

"Hey isn't that Sesshomaru's dragon thing?" asked Shippo

"It seems that it is" answered Miroku

"Well wheres Sesshomaru" asked Sango

"I don't know but lets follow them"

So they followed them but not to close. Ah-Un landed in a clearing near the village and Kagome and Rin got off his back. Kagome patted his head and asked if he'd be ok by himself.

"Of course well there's never been a problem before. So C'mon Kagome lets go"

Miroku and Sango where relieved Kagome was ok but she was with Rin, Sesshomaru's ward? which meant she was most likely with Sesshomaru.

"Should we tell Inuyasha?" Asked Sango

"No let wait and see first" answered Miroku

"See what?"

"Maybe we can find out exactly why Kagome left in the first place"

"But what if kidnaped her?"

"Well then I doubt he would let her be walking around like this, Sango dear."

"Oh riiight"

"Plus, Sango look at the dress she's wearing its made of the some of the finest silk. The same material Rin's clothes are made of"

"Right well lets follow them" as they went off following Kagome and Rin.

-*Some Where off with Kouga*-

"KAGOME!! Hello are you hurt!! If your out their Kagome say something!" yelled Kouga as he walked right in to the Western lands while Sesshomaru was patrolling his lands and well he felt the need to make sure Kagome and Rin were ok. Of course the wolves yelling was starting to get on his nerves and he knew it was only a matter of time before he found Kagome.

"Wolf I suggest you turn back now"

"No not until I find Kagome and hey why do smell like Kagome?! What have you done to her! I kill you if you hurt her!!"

"I assure you that she's fine now get off my lands before I remove you" He said in an icy tone

"Where's Kagome!"

"Wolf your starting to get on my nerves"

"Oh am I"

"Yes now leave"

"Gladly if you give me back MY woman I'll be on my way"

"She is unmarked, She is NOT your woman"

"I claimed her she's mine now give her back now"

Sesshomaru had been trying to hold back his anger could no longer do it. Faster than anyone could have thought possible had Kouga by the neck and had threw him across the clearing right into a nearby tree.

"I'm not leaving until I have Kagome back" Kouga said as he got up off the ground

"Then you shall die" replied Sesshomaru with a cold voice. His claws starting glowing and he was ready to kill the wolf if a loud scream wasn't heard.

"Kagome." he mumbled as he ran off towards the sound of her scream.

"Kagome?" Kouga asked himself until it hit him like a ton of bricks and he to went towards the sound of her scream. When he got there Sesshomaru was standing in front of Kagome and Rin protectively. Ah-Un was next to Kagome in a protective stance as well.

"Kagome, go back to the castle" Sesshomaru commanded

"But what about you?"

"I'll be fine this demon is nothing. Now go!"

Kagome got on Ah-Un's back with Rin and went back to the castle. Of course Kirara, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo followed her well Sesshomaru fought of the demon.

"He told her to go back to castle? So she is staying with him?" asked Shippo

"It would seem so" replied Miroku

They followed her all the way back to the castle. Ah-Un flew over the giant wall and landed near his stable. He then knelt down and let them off. Rin happy to be back home after that. Ran right the gardan and began to play.

"How do we get in" asked Sango

"I was aware of your presence at the village but I didn't think you would follow her back to my home" Came a icy voice from behind them. Sango quickly turned around.

"Sesshomaru." she said clutching her weapon

"Lower your weapon demon slayer. If you wish to see your friend it'd be wise to ask next time."
