Hello my dear readers! I apologize for not updating sooner. Well, here's the next chapter for you lovelies!
*Disclaimer: No, I do not own Inuyasha, nor any of it's characters, and I probably never will T-T*
Half demon, Half Human, Half brothers
A pale white hand reached up to rub his temples -out of frustration- as he mentally chided over his half-brother's fractious being. Him, and his impertinent way of talking.
"My Lord?" the nervous servant continued to wait for an answer. The poor boar demon had the bad luck of becoming the temporary messenger for the dog demon, who had just reported that they still hadn't found a single trace as to where his Lord's runaway half brother was. Beads of sweat formed on his shiny bald head, and his brown ears at the top of his head twitched in anticipation for the lord's answer.
The arcene haired man -sitting on a designer chair behind his desk- gave the messenger a callous glare.
"Find him." came the dog demon's brusque reply.
The messenger immediately nodded -and gulped- then quickly made his way out of the ivory colored, and designed, double doors.
The boar demon knew what would happen if he and his colleagues muss up on their lord's orders. The boar demon raced quickly through the huge corridors, he passed many hallways and told the searchers to continue, well, their search, or else it was off with their heads.
Back at the spacious office, sat Sesshomaru -as always- deep in thought. He was the new head of the Western dog demon lands. You could say, he was like a king, a despot ruler of his lands.
He is a demure one, that Sesshomaru. Now that he was on his lonesome, he gave a tired sigh. If the wolf demon searchers failed to find his brother, he would have to do it himself. Something Sesshomaru was now dreading. He was ruler of the Western part of the forest for pete's sake! He had work to do, things to approve, important clients to see, and a tight schedule to follow! There was no time to go out and sweep the whole forest in the search for his younger brother, excuse that- his half human- half demon- half brother!
It seemed Inuyasha elated in testing this Sesshomaru's patience. Sesshomaru was definitely not one to forsake his royal duty for the sake of someone.
Why has Inuyasha runaway? All this Sesshomaru said was that he had found -and arranged- someone the ungrateful brat could mate, a dog demoness. Sesshomaru thought, What an inept prince he is. Inuyasha, you have really sunken low, to run away something you don't want to face. The silver haired demon scoffed and resisted the urge to roll his golden orbs.
*...*
The wind's lullaby softly echoed around the shell of her ear. Black lace lashes fluttered open to reveal brown hues. Her field of vision was pointed directly at the view of a cold hard ground, on which her form laid upon. She bolted into a seated position. A chill crawled down her spine, she felt the eyes of someone -or something- boring into her back.
The wind once again, invited itself in through a broken window. Moonlight showered down through it, and lighted the space Kagome sat on.
She squinted her eyes at the direction opposite to the broken window, towards the point where the moonlight couldn't reach. All the miko could see was a pair of small suns with black pearls at the core, glaring in her direction, from the darkness in which they floated.
"So you're finally awake wench. 'Bout time, I thought you were a goner. 'Tis quite sad since I knocked you out with a small blow." the dark figure took a step closer, Kagome could tell because the small golden ingots floated closer.
"You humans are so weak." the demon said with an air of impudence.
Kagome huffed through her nostrils. "Funny of you to say, considering the fact that you are a half demon."
The two golden hues became full suns. Before Kagome realized what was happening, the figure raced through the darkness, entered the light, and was holding her up by her uniform collar in a second. A low growl rumbled in his throat, this left a satisfied smile on Kagome's lips.
"I'm no idiot, half demon. I apologize for saying this, but you're too kind hearted to be a full demon." her words struck a cord in the demon- no, half demon's chest.
"How can you say that when I knocked you out, kidnapped you, and brought you here to this abandoned structure?" Inuyasha growled.
"First of all, don't lie, you didn't knock me out. You made it seem like you were going to punch me but instead you made me sniff poison. It was miasma, right? But only strong enough to ,barely, make me faint." Kagome stated. Hn, this half demon clearly underestimated her.
Inuyasha scoffed, though inside he was surprised at this human girl's intelligence. The demon inside of him felt a string of pride. Wait..pride? For his victim? What the heck?
"Second, you may have kidnapped me, but fact is, you didn't kill me. A true demon would have killed me to keep my mouth shut." oh, so she is still talking. "And third, you were kind enough to let me sleep under the moon light, since I can't see in the dark."
"In front of a broken window where the air could have chilled you to the bone." Inuyasha defended.
"Yes, but I didn't feel it, you draped this, red-thingy, on me." Kagome picked, and held up, the red sleeved top of Inuyasha's attire. The dog demon nearly gasped, when had he done that?
His inner dog demon huffed at Inuyasha's mental scolding. The demon part had protected the girl from feeling cold, thus, acting on it's own accord, and had now embarrassed Inuyasha. Yes, his demon part!
The demon part of Inuyasha never, ever, showed kindness towards others. It was Inuyasha's human part that kept his inner demon from killing everything in sight. Why was it all of a sudden protecting this..this.. human!
As the half demon had a mental battle with his other part, Kagome took the chance to slowly back away. She turned around and looked through the last shards of what was left of the huge window. Big enough for her to go through.
Kagome looked, and saw that their location was an abandoned building (obviously Inuyasha didn't know that's what it was called) and that they were on the highest floor. Kagome gulped. Come on Kagome, you can do this!, Kagome told herself. A determined look lit up on her face.
She placed her right foot on the ledge, her left hand on the frame to help her prop her other foot up, and stood there looking down below. If she calculated right, she would make it.
Inuyasha finally snapped out of it, but it was a bit late. "Hey girl!" he realized he didn't know her name. Kagome turned her head, and stared at him in fear from where she stood on the window ledge. What's your name? And why are you jumping out?
Inuyasha didn't realize he voiced his thoughts out loud. Kagome turned her head back around, away from him, and looked down below.
"Kagome." came her soft respond before she jumped out of the window, and fell.
Without a second thought, Inuyasha's inner dog demon surfaced, and jumped out the window after the raven haired beauty.
*End, for now*
Weeelll at least he got to learn her name. Like I typed in the previous chapter, Kagome isn't going down without a fight, she's not weak. You'll see in the next chapter.
