Summary-Kagome Higurashi's Family has been protecting the Shikon Jewel for generations. Now the Western Lands wants it. Can Kagome keep it from them, or will the jewel not be the only thing stolen from her? Sessy/Kag Rated J. I. C.
Chapter 1: Captured'They can't find me here,' a young girl with raven locks thought to convince herself. She was disguising her scent and power. She was sitting so still that she was sure that not even a youkai could hear her. Fingering the jewel around her neck she thought to herself, 'Father would be proud of me; I won't let the Shikon Jewel get into the hands of a filthy demon!'
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. She tensed up and focused her power more on hiding her scent; clearing her mind.
Her ears perked up when she heard an emotionless voice question, "Have you found it yet, Father?"
She instantly knew what the 'it' was, and the answer to that question. Of course they hadn't found it, the Shikon Jewel was around her neck. She silently shifted, her small human ears not missing a word.
"No," Father answered, "Even the old human didn't have it on him. I have ordered for everyone to be killed if they won't tell the location of the jewel."
The younger demon was pleased with his father's order, 'It was about time he stopped pitying those humans.'
The girl however wasn't, she tried not to gasp, she really did, but she only succeeded in a quiet whistle; which was pretty good for just finding out that her Father, the strongest Priest in her family, had just been killed.
It was however loud enough for all of the youkai in the room to hear it. The two lords turned around immediately and she could feel their evil eyes burning through the red bricks of the chimney. If she had X-ray vision, (which she didn't) she would have seen the older of the two demons smile. Turning to a solider, he ordered, "Make a fire in that hearth; make it as hot as possible."
Upon hearing this, the girl realized two things. One: that they knew where she was hiding, and two: that she had to get out of the chimney. She quickly looked up to see if there was an escape. Then she smiled; the chimney cap could easily be dismantled with one of her knives.
As she carefully climbed to the top, she heard one of the soldiers hit the flint to start the fire; then swear. He repeated this process many times.
When she got to the top she put her hand to her side, pulling an intricately engraved knife out in the process. She reached up, accidentally scraped her arm against the brick, breaking the skin. Cussing under her breath, she got to work.
In the room below, the youkai looked up at the smell of blood and the faint use of fowl language. The older of the two youkai turned around, smirking, "It seems that she is smarter than I first expected; Sesshoumaru, go."
The emotionless lord nodded the disappeared, but not before hearing his father's second command, "Do not kill her."
The demon prince mentally cursed, he hated his father's vulnerability. Ever since his father mated with that filthy human he had become sentimental. He pitied them, killing them mercifully. The Tai-Youkai of the Western Lands should not be weak. When he became the Lord of the Western Lands, he would not be pathetic like his father.
After giving his son his order, the older youkai moved to face the guard who was trying to start the fire, and spoke in a language that the girl could not understand. The guard, however, seemed to and answered, "Hai, Lord Inu-Tashio-sama." Then he seemed to slow down on his hitting of the flint, and completely stopped speaking blasphemes.
The girl was very puzzled, 'What did that stupid Tai-Youkai mean? When he said spoke to that guard in that weird language, (it sounded like nips and growls to her) and when he told, what was his name, Sesshoumaru, to go? Go where?'
She quickly decided that she should try to figure it out, alive, instead of burnt as a crisp, and promptly got back to work. She began to pull out the bolts but was having some difficultly. Once she had finally free the rivets from the brick she pushed the chimney cap up and set it to the side. She pulled herself out and looked around.
The first thing she saw was a young demon; whom she guessed to be Sesshoumaru. The problem was that he saw her too. She tried to put the chimney cap back down and hide but he was much faster. He tore it from her hands and threw it across the roof.
She began to form a ball of purple energy; which she would have used to protect herself with if he hadn't placed a thick bracelet around her wrist, containing her power. So instead she used her knife stabbing his right hand. The demon prince growled, 'How dare this human try to hurt me! She should pay for her insolence!'
Unbeknownst to him, the girl was a telepath and heard his thoughts. She smirked, 'Well, Well, the BIG BAD DEMON doesn't expect me to defend myself; what an idiot.'
Sesshoumaru was getting annoyed. Here he was threatening this nigen and her weak human mind kept wandering, 'I should kill for her stupidity!'
The girl also heard that and answered, "But you can't kill me; your father said not to, and I bet you're 'daddy's little demon'."
This really pushed the young by youkai standards, of course prince's patience. In order for him not to ignore his father's wishes and do what he so dearly wished to, he used his youkai speed to deliver a swift blow to her head. The last words she heard before slipping into the beckoning darkness were, "Well done, Sesshoumaru, she will be of some use to us."
