Kagome's Journey
Chapter 2
Sesshomaru entered his castle only to be met by Rin and Jaken. "Lord Sesshomaru!" A happy cry came from the young girl as she ran up to him. "L-Lord Sesshomaru what is that half-breed's wench doing here?" The lowly toad stammered. "YES! Is Kagome-neesan staying with us? She's so pretty and nice and brave and acts just like my old mother and she's fun to play with!" Rin blabbed on.
Even though Sesshomaru held a completely stone cold face showing no emotion he looked down at Rin. "Rin, she is not a playmate this girl is here for bait. She will be gone by tomorrow night." He answered both of his followers' questions leaving no option for more as he started to walk away with Kagome.
As he made his way around his castle his was deciphering if he should leave this trouble in the dungeon or in a spare room. Although his first thoughts as a lord said to leave her in a room, his instincts would not allow it. A mere human, a disgusting one at that, sleeping in one of his good rooms dirtying it up, he would not have it! So, he paced down into the dungeon and placed her in there.
A few hours later, Kagome groaned lightly as she started to awake. It took her senses awhile to kick in, but when they did she could sense several demon auroras. 'Great just great, what have I gotten myself into this time?' Kagome scolded herself. She thought back to what she last remembered, and groaned once more.
Kagome sat up using her arms to prop her up, only to go crashing to the ice block floor below in pain. It was then she noticed blood stains all over her school uniform, and on the floor. She sat up again this time without the use of her bleeding arm, and concentrated on using her miko powers to heal it. The wound wasn't bleeding too heavily someone must have fixed it up lightly for her. She rested against the steel wall and shut her eyes while only one thought ran through her head. 'Inuyasha please hurry and save me!'
"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru please, I want to go see Kagome-neesan! She saved me remember Lord Sesshomaru? She's not a bad girl, please?" Rin begged her lord non stop to go play with Kagome. A smile was always present on the young girls face. Sesshomaru stopped in his stride and looked down to Rin. "Do as you wish Rin, but do not get attached. No amount of begging or pleading will let her stay." Sesshomaru warned.
Rin eagerly nodded and zoomed down into the dungeons to find Kagome. When Rin ordered a guard to open the door leading into Kagome's cell, the squeaking of the door opening made Kagome open her eyes only to see to huge brown ones staring right into hers.
"Hi Kagome-nessan! I've come to take you to the garden!" Rin announced as she watched Kagome stand up. "Okay Rin, lead the way." Kagome smiled warmly down at the girl. The truth is Kagome really didn't want to go anywhere to draw attention, but she'd rather draw attention than stay in that cold cell.
Rin grabbed Kagome's left wrist and 'dragged' her to the garden. Rin was laughing and skipping while Kagome took large steps to keep up with here. On their way out, Kagome felt a spark of Sesshomaru's aurora, so she teased Rin she was going too slow. After that it was a full out sprint to the glass doors leading out into the garden.
The glass doors slid open for the two girls to slip out into the darkened sky. But, the colorful colors of the garden seemed to lighten the area. "See, isn't it so pretty out here at night? Yet Lord Sesshomaru never lets me out here alone. It's usually Jaken who follows me, but he is so annoying at times." Rin made a face when talking about Jaken.
Kagome smiled and nodded as well. "I guess Sesshomaru is protective of you Rin. I have to agree though, even though I've seen and fought with Jaken a couple of times he seems like a kill joy." Kagome reassured the little girl who beamed up with joy. "You don't call Lord Sesshomaru Lord Sesshomaru, why?" Rin questioned.
Kagome was so close of saying that the reason why was because he's a self-centered arrogant jerk who shouldn't be able to rule over any land, but decided against it. "Well, Rin it's because he isn't my lord. I do not trust nor do I follow him. I disagree with everything he is and what he believes in. I don't even live on his land. All that, and I travel with his younger brother Inuyasha. You already know that they don't get along." Kagome explained calmly.
"Ah, so why don't you call Inuyasha, Lord Inuyasha?" Rin questioned again stunning Kagome. "She doesn't because he's not worthy of that high of a title. Even being called a hanyou is too high for him." Sesshomaru's deadly calm voice shattered Kagome's moment of happiness.
In a second she turned to face the demon lord of the Western Lands. Fear flowed throughout her body. Even though his facial expression did not change, Sesshomaru sneered on the inside as he enjoyed this lowly human's emotions to change so drastically because of his presence. He loved to see fear swimming in this human's eyes.
"Rin, she also doesn't call that hanyou a lord because she doesn't respect him high enough to even think of him as a 'lord'." Sesshomaru finished Kagome's answer for her. It was that remark that got her blood raging, and her fear of him to disappear.
Sesshomaru smelled the difference in emotions. To say the least this amused him very much, but he doesn't let anyone but himself know that. "I respect Inuyasha above any other demon – half-breed or not! I don't-we don't- call Inuyasha a lord because we all fight along side each other. We protect everyone, and no one is treated any higher than anyone else. It is true that Inuyasha has an advantage being part demon, but he considers us as companions and friends! Not lackey's to do his bidding. He has Myoga to do that!" Kagome spat out at Sesshomaru.
"Hn, siding himself with a perverted monk, a use-to-be demon slayer, and a weak miko who can scarcely fight for herself, yet all of them are humans. He can't lower himself any lower than that. A lot good protecting each other did, look where it landed you. Inuyasha gave you to me how-" "-No." Kagome cut off Sesshomaru.
Rin knew better to stand there when someone disrespected her lord, so she took off inside to escape the soon to be heard screams of pain. Sesshomaru looked furious and ready to strike, but he kept himself in check. He wanted to hear what this bitch had to say before he punished her.
"I let you take me. Inuyasha was going to be stubborn and give up the sword for me just like that. Had I not 'sat' Inuyasha you would have that sword, and I would not be here. However, I wasn't going to allow a spoiled demon lord like you get what you wanted. Inuyasha thinks the barrier around that sword will stay strong so can't wield it." Kagome explained, but Sesshomaru could tell she wasn't finished yet.
He was not slightly interested. Just what was this human taking about? "I've seen how stubborn you are Sesshomaru. You'll stop at nothing to get what you want. Both you and Inuyasha don't realize how much you two are alike. I know you would find a way to break that barrier, and then kill any and everything that gets in your way. But, Inuyasha doesn't see that." Kagome stayed strong in her defense, even though she slightly complemented the demon lord before her.
Even though Sesshomaru remained calm on the outside, he was fuming on the inside. This bitch has compared him to his half brother! "He and I are completely different bitch. Learn that." He barely got his command out without hitting her. "I am feared by all, I am recognized wherever I go, and I am Lord of the Western Lands." Sesshomaru seethed.
"True, but Inuyasha is well known for being the only demon for killing the Priestess Kikyo who guarded the Sacred Jewel, and stole it from her dieing hands. Although he did no such thing he still takes the blame for it as though he did! However you both have the same father, you each bare one of his fangs within your swords. You two fight to reach the honor and respect your father held, you both have white silk hair and intense golden eyes, you're both too stubborn to realize when you're lost, you two never give up and you'll both stop at nothing to get what you really want. That and you each have at least one human girl companion." Kagome listed.
Sesshomaru's anger shown through his face now, his eyes squinted a little red bleeding through his whites. Kagome knew she shouldn't have compared the two brothers, but it was hard not to. It was almost like Inuyasha comparing her to Kikyo! But then she remembered that she was speaking with Sesshomaru defiantly NOT Inuyasha.
She knew the last comment shouldn't have been spoken out loud let alone gripped on and compared to with one of the persons Sesshomaru hated the most. In a blink of an eye Sesshomaru was two inches away from Kagome. "Well, Inuyasha will have one less human companion to worry about. I can easily kill out- torture you in anyway I please, and bring you back to life only to suffer more. He would never notice the difference in you. Well, the only difference he will surly notice is that you will respect me more bitch." He calmly explained getting his anger under control as he smelled the terror roll off of her in waves.
He knew that his wench was frightened beyond all belief and he enjoyed this more that fighting his won brother. Humans were so easily manipulated, Sesshomaru mused to himself. "Bitch, you ready to be trained like a dog to obey your superiors? If not, well then all the more enjoyment for me to break you." Sesshomaru hissed as he clenched onto Kagome's left upper arm and dragged her down into the dungeons to release his anger and teach her some respect.
I think I will leave it there for now. Please leave a review and tell me how I am doing. Sorry for the long wait for an update. I have to excuse except that I am lazy. Feel free to write down any suggestions you might have because trust me I will need them! Thank you!
