Konnichiwa! (Ehe) How are you? I'm feeling just fine! Because the second Chapter of "Too Much" is here! Heh... I like Sesshou-Maru pretty much... as you clearly can see in this fic... and I hope no one of you will flame me because of what I've done to Kagome. And I also hope no one will flame me for what Sesshou-Maru did to Kagome. And I hope any of you are interested in Slayers, and got the song 'Rival' sung by Naga, it suits this fic pretty well on a certain part. I hope you'll enjoy it!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Too Much Chapter two, Demon Kagome was sitting beside a lake, she was smiling. It had gone quite well for her the last moth. She had a lot of powers which she hadn't known she had... who knew they would show when she went to search for the shards alone? She dipped her feet into the cold water. She shivered a little and smiled. She liked hot baths... indeed she did... but this was quite nice too. She stepped out of her new clothes, they were all black... and matched her hair perfectly. She shivered when she stepped into the water. Then she dipped her whole head under the water and stayed there for about 30 seconds... and then she came up for air again. "Refreshing?" She heard a voice ask her from behind. She emmidietly turned around to see the intruder. "Sesshou-Maru!" She covered her the best she could with her hands and backed away. He was leaning against a tree trunk and smiling widely. "My, my... why aren't you with your little friends and my useless brother?" He asked her. She glared at him and then she spoke. "I got tired of them." He cooked an eyebrow at that "You got tired of them?" He asked. "Yes... they were so annoying." She dove into the water again. "Annyoing... yes... quite..." Sesshou-Maru said and gazed up at the sky. When she reappeared from under the water he was sitting on a big stone by the lake. "You know...I was just thinking about how nice it would be if I captured you and tortured you to death." He said and smiled. She looked at him for awhile and then she replied "Just you try it." "I might" He cooked his head to the side. "You are very precious to my brother". Kagome turned to face him. "What the f**k are you talking about?" He faked being furprised. "Oh! So you didn't know, hmmm..." Kagome just stood there bored. "Guess not." He sighed. "Enough chatter, I wanted to take you hostage and trade you for the Tetsusaiga." Kagome stared at him for a while, and then she burst out laughing. "When I think about it...I thought you were that kind of girl which got really mad if anyone intruded on her privacy." Sesshou-Maru stated. Kagome then stopped laughing and lowered herself more into the water "Not anymore". She sighed. Sesshou-Maru watched her as she once again dove into the water. When he had first felt her presence around here and then found out that she was bathing he was expecting to gotten yelled at and probably gotten several big stones thrown hi way... funny... this didn't seem much like the girl Inu-Yasha always had with him. Sesshou-Maru watched her intently. This one was... much more pleasant to talk with... more demon like. Sesshou-Maru smiled. Maybe the poor girl had snapped...too bad. He grinned widely. There her bow and arrow lay with her black clothes... hmm... black tight fitting clothes eh? That was pretty unusual here, but he had never seen her in any normal clothing when he thought about it. "Sesshou-Maru?" Kagome asked, she now stood beside him... she was not in the water anymore. Sesshou-Maru smiled even wider as he looked her over. Inu-Yashadidn't know what to do... he had absolutely NO clue whatsoever where Kagome had gone off too! They were all heading down the road again. They had asked about a girl, black below shoulderlencht hair, short skrit and a different accent. No one had seen a girl at description... no one but an old lady. The only difference was that this girl had been wearing black clothes... no skirt, but pants. She had also had a black bow and many black arrows. He wondered where ever she had gotten them. Well... the girl had asked if the woman knew about any hot spring nearby... she didn't... if she had then they would know EXACTLY where she had gone off to... she could be pretty predictable at times. He smiled at the times he had seen her bathe... NO! Out of my head! Inu-Yasha's mind screamed. He had no time to think about stuff like that, they had to find Kagome! Meaning they had to find a hot spring... Kagome had just putten on her clothes again, they fit her quite nicely Sesshou-Maru noted. Then she turned to him with folded arms. "So... are you still going to try to capture me and torture me until I die?" She asked him with a smile playing across her lips. "No." He answered and stood up from the rock he had been sitting on. "But I might capture you and torture you just a little..." He said and smiled at her. She got out her black bow and one of her blavk arrows. "Would you like to try it?" She asked him. "That would be a pleasure". He answered. They stood and watched eachothers for a while. Neither moved. Then he charged and Kagome fired one of her arrows, it hit nothing. Then suddenly she couls feel two strong hands wrap around her waist. She yelped and turned her face to face Sesshou-Maru. He smiled. "Should I torture you know...?" He asked and raised one of his poison talons at her, but she kicked him in the stomach. It didn't hurt him but it shocked him. "Not bad..." He said "Not bad for a mere mortal that is..." He said and charged again. Kagome fired arrows but he was just too quick for them. He smiled as he stopped right in front of Kagome. "I am sure that you would do much better if you were demon." He aaid and wrapped one of her dark locks around his index finger. She glared at him but then calmed down. "It doesn't matter... I'm human and nothing can change that". She turned away from him. He looked at he for a while, his expression turned annoyed. "Don't tell me... that you don't know how to make yourself demon?" He asked her. She looked at him for a while and then she turned her face away again. He sighed "Thought so". "You can turn yourself into a demon right now... the only thing you need is one tiny little sliver of the Shikon jewel." She then turned her face back slowly... interest spreading on her face. A smile appeared on Sesshou-Maru's face yet again "Want me to show you how?" He asked her. She nodded at him and smiled back. He offered his hand and after a bit of hestitation, she took it. "Off we go." Sesshou-Maru said cheerfully and then jumped away with her in blinding speed. A second later Sango ran into the clearing. She stared around "Strange...I thought I heard someone..." She said and then she sat down by the lake. Inu-Yasha, Miroku and Shippou soon appeared in the clearing too. Inu-Yasha sniffed the air "She has been here..." He said carfully and then he wrinkled his nose in disgust "And so has my brother". They all emmedietly became very worried. Inu-Yasha walked closr to the lake "She bathed here...". He said "And he sat here." He grimaced at what his older brother could have done to her. Their scents was all over the place... they had been moving... maybe she was trying to flee from him! That must have been it! And now kagome was captive by his sick brother. Inu-Yasha fell to his knees. He didn't know what his brother were gonna do with her but he knew that he could do whatever he wanted... he had no hear so he certainly wouldn't feel guilty. What if...? He killed her...? Inu-Yasha was quiet and kneeled in front of the lake. What if he killed her...? He continued asking himself. The he raised from the ground and sniffed the air again. No... if he killed her he must have dragged her somewhere else first, I can't smell any death in the air. He searched for a trail. In the bushes, in the trees and near the lake. Finally, he found one. "They went that way!" Inu-Yasha said and pointed towards a direction in the forest. Everybody turned to look at him, and then they nodded and set of towards that direction. (It's good listening to some action music to this part (^.^)) "Rival" from Slayers suits this part pretty well. Sesshou-Maru were still moving fast with Kagome though the forest. She had her eyes shut for the wind. He looked down at her, a mortal... but a strong mortal! Who could be turned to a pretty powerful demon. He smiled and turned his face ahead again. Then he felt a familiar smell... his brothers... Sesshou-Maru cursed and began moving faster. How had he found the track so fast? Inu-Yasha felt the scent of his brother getting stronger, he was getting closer! But by now... Sesshou-Maru must have noticed he were being followed and would probably start taking more complicated ways... or stop and meet him. Inu-Yasha grimaced as he reached a big cliff edge. Sesshou-Maru had probably just jumped over it. He groaned. He would be able to get to the other side easily... but no the rest of them. He had to wait for them first, they could be in use in the upcoming match. Sesshou-Maru smiled. He was getting further away from his brother. Still, he sped up just in case... you could never know with his annoying brother. He made sure to take ways he knew Inu-Yasha's companions would never be able to cross without help, then his brother would have to wait for them and then help them. Sesshou-Maru grinned. That would gain him much time. They arroved and saw Inu-Yasha standing at a cliff side. Sango walked closer to look down... it was a looong way down. Every bone in your body would be crushed from that fall. She frowned, how were they supposedto get to the other side. "Come on everybody!" Inu-Yasha yelled angrily. "Hop onto my back and I'll take us to the other side." Everybody did as he said and climbed onto his back. Inu-Yasha made a mighty jump to the other side and then set them down. Then he picked up the track again and began fallowing it. The others, fallowed him the best they could. Sesshou-Maru reached a big field. He grimaced... the field was huge. He took of into the high grass. Still, it would be harder for his brother and his companions to cross it. Sesshou-Maru had to pay big attention to holes in the ground and old tree trunks laying on the ground not to trip and fall. "Where are we?" Kagome asked and opened her eyes. She emmedietly closed them again when she got all the grass in the face. "On a field." Was his reply. "Where are we going to stop?!" She said. "We'll see." He answered and jumped a big hole in the ground. Inu-Yasha was still in the forest, he had lost a lot of time waiting for them. He cursed, and sped up a bit. Inu-Yasha was getting tired running like this, if it weren't for that Sesshou-Maru was so damn quick he had reached up with him a long time ago. Inu-Yasha was just lucky that Kagome slowed him down a bit. Suddenly the forest ended and he reached a big field with high grass, the field was huge!! And the grass was taler than him! He would have to wait for them again! His brother sure knew how to slow him down... Sesshou-Maru and Kagome finally reached the edn of the field. He was getting a little tired. Then he spotted a river. A smile formed on his lips as he ran towards it. "Take a deep breath girl!" He said. "Huh?" Kagome opened her eyes and then took a deep breath as he dove into the water. Sesshou-Maru let his body follow the stream, this went much faster than running... and his brother wouldn't be able to follow them. Kagome would soon be out of air and she poked him on the shoulder. He looked down at her and emmedietly realised that her air was running out. He broke the surface and let her take another deep breath and then he dove into the water again. He himself, did not need air as often as she did, he could stay in the water half an hour before needing new air. One time he had needed to stay in the water for 50 minutes, that had been tough. Inu-Yasha and the others were now heading through the field. Inu-Yasha had to slow down a great bit since they would never be able to follow him in the high grass. He cursed his brother again. "AAA!!" Sango cried as she fell into a hole. Inu-Yasha groaned. (Stop music) After travelling with the river for a while Sesshou-Maru finally jumped up on dry land again. He sat Kagome down who began couching out water and wiping her eyes. He looked around, They were in a clearing of another forest. Some boars were a bit away he noted and there were no humans nor demons nearby. "We'll stay here." He said. Kagome raised herself of the ground and started wringing her hair. "Couldn't you have warned me first?" He didn't answer her and went to sit in the middle of the clearing. Kagome glared at him. She then walked up to him, he was breathing heavy. This surprised Kagome and sat down beside him. "Tired?" She asked him and smiled. "Shut up." He said and glared at her. She laughed and laid down in the grass, she too... felt a little tired. She knew she had been carried all the way there... but still. His breathing slowed and became normal again. He looked down at Kagome, she had her eyes closed... she looked almost peaceful. "You know that I could just kill you now without you having a single chance to defend yourself." he said. "I know" She answered. "But I also know that you won't" She said. "Oh really...?" He lifted his hand and held it treathingly above her, but she still had her eyes closed. He frowned and put one of his sharp claws on her throat. She opened her eyes to stare at him. "Never take me for granted". He said and a little blood ran down her throat. She glared at him and he smiled. "You know, it's annoying getting small cuts on the throat". She said. "Oh, would you rather have a big cut?" He asked her and grinned madly. She sat up. "No thanks". They sat in silence for a moment. Kagome for not having anything to say, Sesshou-Maru for not caring if you spoke or were quiet. Then Kagome had had enough of the silence. "You said something about making me a demon?" She said and turned to face him. He stood up and faced away from her. "Yes, but are you willing to give up your humanity?" He asked her. She thought about this for a moment, sure she wanted more power... but was it worth it? She shook away that thought. "Of course, mortals are so weak... it's enough to get something heavy in your head and poof! You're dead." She couldn't see his face but she bet her life he was smiling. He then turned around, he was smiling allright. "Well then... why don't I show you?" He sat down beside her again. He then reached out his hand. She stared at it for a moment. "The jewel" He said and looked at her annoyed. "Of course" She answered, annoyed at him for not saying so. She handed her what she had of the jewel. He took it and held it in his hand. He was quiet for a moment. "Come here" He said and motioned for her to sit in front of him. She did as he told him. He studied her face for a moment, she looked excited, angry... and afraid. "Are you unsure?" He asked her. "No." She answered and folded her arms. "You look scared." She narrowed her eyes. "I'm not scared!" She yelled. "You don't have to yell, I'm sitting right here". He said and glared a little at her. She smiled. "This will hurt." He then said. She looked confused... and then he ripped up her chest. She stared at him in shock as he took the jewel and placed it inside of her. She hurt... badly... anyone would be dead by now... if it weren't for the jewel which lent her power. She fell down onto her back. Sesshou-Maru just looked at her with his arms folded. She felt her life slipping out. It hurt... it hurt so much... Then she felt something which felt like sharp needles run throught her whole body. She began thrashing and screaming in pain. He then grabbed her shoulders to hold her still. The pain...! THE PAIN! She screamed. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed in top of her lungs, then Sesshou-Maru silenced her with a kiss on her lips. The pain emmidielty vanished and she relaxed. He pressed harder against her lips and a dark glow began immiting from the jewel. Then it surrounded them both and seemed to swallow them both. After a matter of seconds the glow dissapeared. Sesshou-Maru removed his lips and and sat up again. kagome too sat up. Her chest had healed and she felt no pain at all. She looked up at Sesshou-Maru, he was smiling. "Look at your reflection in the water". He said. She walked slowly towards the river, it was odly calm... not at all like when they had arrived. She kneeled before it and leaned over. She had yellow cat like eyes... and she had the same sort of stripes on her face as Sesshou-Maru had. She felt her face with one of her hands... it to had that kind of stripes... and she had long claws... she stood up and turned around to look at Sesshou-Maru. He was still sitting on the ground with folded arms, smiling. "How do you feel being a demon?" He asked her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second chapter of "Too Much"! I really liked to write this part... but I really like Sesshou-Maru so... Really I didn't think of him being in it at all in the beginning... I was thinking of making another series where he made Kagome a demon, but then I thought it would be much better if I made just one out of the two... What did you think of it? I know I enjoyed writing it! Especially the part where he makes Kagome a demon!
