Chapter 2: Her Features
Muye waited outside of Sesshomaru's late at night, knowing he would want to see her and just as expected he walked out of his room in his usual clothing and turned to him.
"Thought you would want to see her." said Muye knowingly.
"Hn." Muye led the way as they walked to her.
Sesshomaru didn't sleep much last night thinking about them, trying to recall their sent, and trying to hold onto the small bits of memory he had of the three little girls.
They walked into the gardens and Muye tipped over a small statue and a rose bush moved to the side and revealed the hallway. They hopped in and the hole closed again behind them. Sesshomaru tried to slow his pace as they neared the door where they were and that's when he noticed it. There were three people inside the room and a demon, but one of the humans was male and the other two were female, where was the other?
Muye opened the door and revealed the people inside. There was a guard, female, he knew she was the sister/ friend just be looking at her and there was a monk next to her garbed in purple. He held his staff up and the female grabbed her large weapon up and stood next to a large fire cat demon then lowered their weapons when they saw who it was. They bowed and apologized.
"Its okay! Miroku were you being nice to Sango?" said Muye as they entered the room.
"Of course I have! I would never do anything to harm my dearest Sango-" Sango slapped him and called him a pervert for trying to grab her rear again.
"Really now?" said Muye.
"Its the hand! Its cursed!" he said chuckling and rubbing his now red cheek.
"Are you here to check on-"
"Yeah is she doing well?" asked Muye.
"Come look for yourself." Sango and Miroku began to turn a giant bolder around and that's when he finally saw her.
She was inside of a glass barrier filled with water, her arms and legs were chained to either side of the glass case, there wear small tubes that were intertwined with the chains and went into her flesh, and she still wore the odd clothing. Her left eye and nose were covered in the magical mask, and her long black hair floated around her passing her bottom in length.
Sesshomaru slowly walked forward and looked closer into the glass, which one was she?
"Isn't it that day of the month?" asked Sango.
"Oh yeah! Thanks Sango." Muye walked over and cut his palms and filled what seemed to be cups on each side of the chains with it. Sesshomaru watched as the blood traveled through the small tubes and into her limbs. She began to move and then the whole tank began to glow a soft purple. She made a painful face and tried to curl up but the chains stopped her.
Miroku formed a barrier around everyone and a strong wave of odd power surged through the room along with a painful cry. She suddenly stopped and her body went limp.
"What did you do to her?" asked Sesshomaru.
"I gave her, her monthly dose of youkai blood." said Muye. He walked to the tank along with Sango and they released her of her chains and drained the tank of water.
Sango walked into the tank and took off the magic mask and shook the girl lightly.
"Kagome...Kagome...Kagome don't make me do that again! Kagomeee!" Sesshomaru grinned it was her.
She took a sharp intake of breath and then eased into a more steady pace. Sango almost had to drag her out of the case and the second she was out she let go of Sango and crawled to Sesshomaru and propped herself up on one knee and grabbed his hand. She brushed it agents her cheek then set it agents her forehead.
"She thinks your Lord Taishou." said Sango saddly.
"Kagome..." Muye slowly approached her and set his hand on her shoulder,"This isn't Lord Taishou, this is his son Lord Sesshomaru. Do you remember him?" he asked.
Kagome stiffened and slowly let go of his hand, but didn't look up. She stood with her head hung and walked to Sango and whispered something into her ear, not even Sesshomaru could hear her. Sango blushed and began to laugh,"We'll be right back!" they ran through the door,"Off to the washroom..." Sango shouted.
They ran out of the room and there was a short awkward silence before Muye broke it,"So do you remember which one she is?" he asked.
"Hn, Kagome the blue eyed twin." he said as he took a seat.
"He already knew her?" asked Miroku.
"Yes, when he was just a pup he came here a few times with Lord Taishou and met all three of our lovely ladies." said Muye as he prepared some tea.
"Then I assume you know what happened with Kikyou-sama." said Miroku to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru raised an elegant eyebrow as if asking 'who?'
"Well you see Miroku, Sesshomaru used to come here as a pup with his father a few times to visit the girls but we didn't tell him the names of the girls because it was around the time we barley started. So he only knew which was which by their eye color and sent." said Muye as he poured five cups of tea.
"Oh, well as you knew she was the brow eyed twin, and sadly she died at the age of fourteen around the time we found out that Kagome was-"
Miroku was cut off by Sango and Kagome entering the room, Kagome in a new odd white piece of clothing."We're back! Oh tea, would you like some Kagome?" asked Sango. Kagome nodded yes and they sat down.
"How?" asked Sesshomaru as he took a sip of tea. Muye noticed he was looking at Sango and decided to answer yet again seeing as he was one of the only people that knew what he meant.
"After Kikyou died we decided to try to experiment on Sango. So far the results are good, but we are using different ways on both girls to prevent another death if possible." said Muye.
"Hn."
Another awkward silence went on before Muye spoke up again,"Kagome would you like to play a song for us on your violin?"
"That would be wonderful! Come on Kagome!" said Miroku.
Kagome stood and walked to a small box in the corner of the room and took out two odd instruments that Sesshomaru had never seen before. She walked back, setting one of the two instruments before Sango. "Would you like me to play with you?" asked Sango. Kagome nodded her head and they both stood. They put the instrument underneath her neck and slowly dragged a long piece of wood with small strings attached across it. They agusted the nobs on the top a bit and began to play.
The sound of the violin sounded throughout the whole room in a wonderful melody. It was like nothing he had ever heard before, he like it. He looked up to Kagome's face expecting to see her vibrant blue eyes, but they were closed yet again. Come to think of it he hadn't seen her eyes ever since he arrived.
"...Angles Cruel Thesis...I love this song." mumbled Muye as he closed his eyes and took a sip of tea.
When the song was over they tucked the violin under her arms along with the bow and bowed simultaneously.
"Good job Kagome and Sango!" said Muye as he clapped.
"It was fantastic Kagome-sama! And Sango dearest, ah simply wonderful!" said Miroku as he clapped as well.
"You know I simply love that song!" Sango and Kagome each gave a small smile and went off to put away their violins.
"Where is this 'vio-lin' from?" asked Sesshomaru.
"I ran into an odd man once in the market place and saw him playing and one. He didn't know much Japanese but he pointed to the west. I asked him if he knew you but he said something of being from outside of Japan out in the west! I was simply amazed, he gave me an extra violin he had with him along with an instructional sheet. After I treated him to a cup of tea I never saw him again." said Muye.
"When he came back down here he rushed over to Sango trying to make her play it but she insisted on trying to learn combat so he went to Kagome, and surely enough she obeyed." said Miroku.
"Hahaha I remember that! after I heard her playing I wanted to play so you made me a replica." laughed Sango.
"So how did you like it Lord Sesshomaru?" said Muye.
"It was acceptable." said Sesshomaru.
"Look you just got a compliment form Sesshomaru, you know how rare that is!" laughed Muye.
Kagome turned to Sango and whispered something into her ear again. "Don't worry training with Miroku isn't until later in the morning today." said Sango.
"Training?" Sesshomaru turned to the munk.
"Oh well Muye and your father found out that the only reason Kagome survived the experiments was because she was the Shikon Miko. Also the reason why it took so long for her body to accept the changes the demon blood was causing." said Miroku.
"Every time we would inject the demon blood in either girl it seemed to be purified so we looked closer at the girls and found that the miko powers they contained were sealed and decided to see what would happen if we undid the seal. Kikyou didn't really have much power, as for Kagome on the other hand she was something different. Every low level demon we happened to bring in here would go after Kagome like a mad man shouting something about unbelievable power for themselves and having to have the girl, and around the time she was fifteen in human years the jewel made itself evident. Exactly one year after her sister Kikyou died..." said Muye.
He cleared his throat and smiled,"Then we decided to work on Sango we did need a normal human specimen after all, but we didn't stop working on Kagome...she was that special."
Kagome returned to the table and sat down, head hung low. "Whats wrong Kagome, are you sad?" asked Sango.
Kagome shook her head and pulled her knees up to her chest and closed her eyes. "Does she speak?" asked Sesshomaru.
"Well to us she does, but when other people are around she doesn't even want to show her face." said Miroku.
"Hn...come." Sesshomaru extended his hand to Kagome and waited.
"Sesshomaru I don't thi-" Muye stopped.
"She will do as I say, I am her lord." said Sesshomaru. "We will return shortly." Sesshomaru stood along with Kagome and headed to the door.
"Where are you taking her?" asked Sango.
Sesshomaru turned to look at everyone for a moment then said,"She will speak to me."
Sesshomaru walked ahead of her expecting her to follow, and she did. They walked to the secret door and Kagome pressed a stone on the wall and it opened and continued to a large opened field.
The tall grass stroked Kagome's bare legs, the wild flowers grew in great numbers making a wonderful scene, and the moon light shone upon the everything in the lonely field along with the two figures below. Small insects jumped about every step they took and crickets sang their songs.
Sesshomaru stopped and turned to Kagome,"Do you remember?" he asked plainly. Kagome shook no again,"Speak." he demanded. Kagome turned away and began to nibble on her lower lip. Sesshomaru reached out and grabbed her chin and forced her to turn to him. She jumped back and he appeared right behind her, she jumped up and he jumped higher, she ran and he ran right beside her. She squeezed her eyes shut and ran aimlessly and ran into something hard, and right when she was about to hit the ground two strong arms caught her.
Sesshomaru set her down on her feet and waited. A cool breeze came along making their long hair flow together. Kagome held onto some strands that hung on her face and looked up.
She opened her eyes revealing their abnormal colors. They were the clear blue like they always were but now surrounding the pupil was the a golden hue, much like his fathers. Her face had a nice natural blush to it and her lips were plump.
"...Speak." he said finally snapping out of it. She opened her mouth but closed it again and instead pointed to the gardens at the castle. "You wish to return." he said moments later, she nodded.
"I will return you once you have spoken to this Sesshomaru." said Sesshomaru.
"...I w-wish to r-return mi'lord." she said quietly. Sesshomaru turned and began to walk away and she followed close behind.
Right before the pair could make it back to the gardens Kagome was tackled by Muye and Sango. "Are you alright!" said Sango as she looked over her.
"He didn't do anything stupid, did he!" said Muye as he rubbed his cheek agents hers. She smiled and Sesshomaru growled.
"I escorted her to the field, do you not trust this Sesshomaru?" he said in a dangerously low voice.
"Of course not Sesshomaru-sama, we just aren't accustomed to being parted from Kagome-sama." said Miroku from his side.
"Hn." Sesshomaru turned away saying his thanks to Muye for bringing him and began to walk away.
"Oh! By the way Sesshomaru, now that you took the time to come tonight I will have to ask that you return later in the afternoon there are somethings that we must discus." said Muye in a serious tone despite that fact that he was currently braiding Kagome's hair.
Sesshomaru thought it over for a moment then finally responded,"...Hn, it better be of great importance."
"Oh trust me it is!" chirped Muye.
A/N: Ehehehe sorry for the long~ wait my life has currently been quite hectic. With my moving to California with my uncle, and my mom's brother being dead, my mom's dad almost dead, my slight depression over the moving, and getting settled in, in my new school in general...well I hope you enjoyed it!
