Chapter 6: Being Attacked

Sesshoumaru was finished with the towel and was about to give it back to Kagome when he noticed that her back was to him. He was going to say something when she dropped the blanket she had previously had wrapped around her. He turned knowing she would want her privacy. As he was turning, his ears perked up. He concentrated on where the noise was coming from, he whirled around just in time to see a demon floating above the trees some meters away.

He lost all sense of what Kagome was doing and ran for her.

Kagome was about to dry herself off when she felt a hand grab around her waist, the other going for her things. She quickly wrapped the towel she held in her hand around her body as best as she could.

She was about to protest when Sesshoumaru went up into the air but snapped her mouth shut when she saw a demon flying towards them. She stiffened and started to panic. Sesshoumaru felt her body go stiff in his arms and turned to her. He gave her a reassuring look, saying that he was not going to let anything happen to her. Her body relaxed and he smirked.

She was warming up to him, and he would make the best off it, even though what he had planned was a bit unfair.

Sesshoumaru picked up the speed he was going at but, his pride did not allow him to let the other demon escape. Threatening him in his own lands did not go unchecked and the demon would surely pay for doing so. He descended into the forest where he let go of Kagome. She looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"Say here, I have to attend to some business," for such a situation as this, his voice was deathly calm. All she could do was nod and give a slight smile. He reached out his hand to caress her cheek and Kagome gladly welcomed it. He was about to leap off when he felt her grab his hand. He looked back at her.

"You're coming back for me, right?" She surprised him with her question. All he could offer her was a dazzling smile and, "Yeah." She watched him go and pulled the towel better around her body. 'Oh god, what are you doing to me?' she asked silently as many emotions raced through her body. 'All he did was hold me round the waist and my hormones are going crazy! But then again I was naked... Oh god Kagome this is not the time to be thinking like this!' she mentally kicked herself. She went to get the things she was about to change into and put them back into her bag sitting on it. "He's not going to take long, so what's the use" she sighed.

The threatening demon had lost track of the demon when he had seen him take off with something in his arms. However, his dull orange eyes widened when he saw that the demon was the Lord of the Western lands. He had been searching for a fight due to his unruly nature but, he did not want one with this demon. For he sure knew he could not win. He also knew that Sesshoumaru was not going to let this go easily, for he knew he was trespassing on foreign territory. He then had to decide what he was going to do. Should he stay and fight or should he run? No, he was going to stay and fight. His pride would not allow him to leave. He would try his best. He stopped in mid flight and turned towards Sesshoumaru, waiting for his untimely demise.

Sesshoumaru noticed that the trespassing demon was of a lower class. He smirked, know this would be an easy victory. He was anxious not to mention nervous at the offer he was going to make to Kagome. Would she accept his offer or would she decline? 'Thoughts such as these are not for going into a battle. I will address them later,' he reminded himself.

The demon in front of him was of a insect merged with a snake. His scales and wings were of a dirty copper color. He had a broken fang, the other was the size of half a ruler. One of his many wings laid limply at his side, while the others fluttered quickly to keep its body suspended in the air.

'Pathetic,' Sesshoumaru thought, 'this won't even cost me to wipe a sweat off my brow.'

The other demon too was taking in Sesshoumaru's appearance. And knew right away that he didn't stand a chance. The Lord of the Western land radiated superiority, strength, and death to all those that opposed him.

The opposing demon had to come up with something quick if he dreamed of even surviving this fight. He racked his brains for any quick bright ideas and came upon something. 'What was that thing that Sesshoumaru had been carrying?' he questioned himself. Now that he remembered, it look strangely like a person. The suspicion weighed in. 'It was a person! What else would Sesshoumaru be carrying? And surely it was someone important for him to get them to safety!' he thought brilliantly. 'Yes! I'll use that to my advantage.' As he finished that thought a sly smirk appeared on his face.

Sesshoumaru was puzzled as to why this less demon would be smirking. But, one thing was for certain, he had to keep his eye on this here demon. His type were known to be wicked and sly. Using anything to help them to survive...

Author's Note: Well there it is! It was short but, I do hope you like... Ne ways the next chapter should reveal how much Kagome means toSesshoumaru's plan (or should I say hint hint to him! )
