Our current situation is;
InuYasha laughing his ass off
Sango and Miroku gaping openly
Kagome smirking smugly
And the Ice lord…Well he was shocked to say the least. Caught by surprise with the information that he lost his composure; his mouth slightly open in disbelief and eyes widened slightly.
Kagome feeling brave, or being incredibly stupid, decided to poke, yes poke, the Lord with her forefinger right on his crescent moon.
"Lord Sesshoumaru? Are you ill? You're going to catch flies with your mouth hanging open like that." Kagome held back a giggle and managed to look somewhat serious. Sesshoumaru regained his icy exterior and made to grab the offending appendage, Kagome was still enraged despite her attitude and reacted on total instinct. She jumped back and slashed out with her claws snarling in warning as her eyes flashed red.
"I…Have…Never…Seen…Sesshoumaru…lose his…composure…like that…before." InuYasha got out between laughs. Sesshoumaru glared and growled, of course InuYasha ignored it.
Turning back to Kagome Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Prove to me that you are who you say you are" his silky smooth voice purred dangerously, daring her to lie.
"See the rosary around the Hanyou's neck? It only responds to one person, whether it be demon, human, or miko. As you have seen before, it not only reacted to the miko Kagome, but to me as well." Kagome flashed a fanged grin at him before turning to InuYasha, "Sit boy."
BOOM
InuYasha curses the ground, his necklace, and Kagome's temper.
"You don't know me that well so that's the only way I can prove it to you unless you want me to go on about how I pulled the sword from its resting place when you couldn't" Kagome purred back, just as dangerously. Her beast demanded that she test her boundaries a bit to see just how far she could push the male before her.
He looks better in person then in your memories. Wonder what's going through that pretty little head of his.
Don't start
Wanna see inside Sesshy's complicated mind?
Yes? I thought so…
:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:
The miko gone demon, Inu demon at that…how strange
I like her, she has fire...
Shut up.
WHAT?! She is HOT; the red snowflake means she is of the Ketsuen Yuki breed. Looks like she is young, hasn't had her first heat yet. The green mixing in with her red stripes means she will be immune to all poisons. All in all…She is gonna be one hell of a dangerous beauty.
The Blood of Snow breed...Kirai was of that breed. Maybe she is the one who changed the miko
God, can't you stop thinking about a dead friend? LOOK AT THAT SEXY BEING IN FRONT OF YOU! She even called your half-brother 'the Hanyou'.
WOULD YOU SHUT UP!?!?!?!
I think that's enough…
:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:
"BITCH! What was that last one for?" InuYasha sputtered angrily glaring at Kagome. What he didn't notice was that Beastie was still bubbling under the surface, and boy was she angry.
"Do not question me Hanyou. The only reason you still stand is because my other half cares for you as brother. You lost our pup, and too me it means you are not a capable protector if you allow the Witch to get anywhere near Takai" Beastie snarled, red eyes narrowed in his direction. She was pissed into all high hell still, and was going to get Takai back…NOW.
"Houshi, when was Takai taken" her voice was softer, but still commanding.
"About four hours ago, Kagura was taking him in this direction and Lord Sesshoumaru was helping us by tracking her scent and attracting the Witch to him." Miroku replied almost immediately. Sango nodded along confirming the information and keeping Shippo asleep at the same time. Kagome nodded before turning to the Lord.
"Would you be so kind as to finish the planned course of action only without the others? Kagura won't come if she sees them, it will be easier if it's just us since they don't know what happened to me yet" Kagome once again bowed eyes on the ground this time in a high form of respect. Showing ones back to a lord such as Sesshoumaru without eye contact is showing you trust them not to kill you. Another piece of information obtained by Gramps's many scrolls.
Sesshoumaru seemed to ponder for a minute before turning silently and walking in the desired direction. Kagome stood, flashed a grin to her friends and followed behind him.
"OH HELL NO! GET BACK HERE" InuYasha yelled, waving his fanged sword in agitation. "IM GOING WITH YOU!!! WAIT UP YOU ASSHOLES!"
InuYasha darted forward to catch up with the walking duo, only to find them gone and the trail lost. They had taken to running, at full speed from the indents in the grass.
"Dammit!" He cursed before returning to the rest of his rag-tag team.
Further up ahead were two blurs, one black and the other silver. They almost disappeared and reappeared in different areas. It didn't take long for them to catch the scent again, along with Takai's scent. Kagome could feel his emotions better through their connection the closer they got, and he was scared.
Angry too
"The Wind Witch is up ahead, she awaits our arrival." Sesshoumaru said to the female beside him, who was amazingly keeping up with his pace. This Demonic Miko just kept surprising him more and more.
"She isn't waiting for me, she is waiting for you big guy." Kagome sniggered as she tied her glaive to her back, underneath her swords. She easily kept pace while tightening her gloves and making sure the blades could still slice air.
Sesshoumaru growled low in his throat. Sadly, he couldn't fully teach Kagome respect before they were standing before Kagura. She was sitting there in her birthday suit on a stump with legs spread eagle-eyed.
"Ah, Sesshoumaru, what a nice surprise" Kagura smiled seductively at him before her eyes turned to Kagome and narrowed ever so slightly. "Who might this be? Couldn't be a friend of yours since you don't make friends…perhaps a lover?"
Kagome snarled viciously and her hand twitched for her sword. Sesshoumaru threw his arm out in a silent command to stop.
"My captain, whom you have taken something dear from; this Sesshoumaru advises that you give him back before she decided to take him by force" he said in his low monotone voice. Kagome's mind was reeling. Captain was a high rank in the army, second best only to the Lord and possibly the commanding General.
"You mean the pup? He was with your brother's pack; I thought he was another runt adopted by the silly miko. Poor little thing, he is a looker too. I was hoping to keep him." Kagura turned and grabbed a bundle from the base of an old cherry tree. Opening it up, Takai poked his head out only to recoil when Kagura stroked his cheek; he sunk his sharp teeth into her finger and almost tore the digit away.
"You brat!" Kagura slapped Takai and threw him against a tree. He let out a shrill yelp and whimpered; a rib had to have broken. Kagura was really oblivious to Kagome's growing rage, her claws were elongating and eyes bled red. "Rotten little thing he is"
"Im sorry but I can't return him. My master Naraku requires him for his newest plan. So you may return to the Western Lands Captain. But Sesshoumaru may stay so we can…talk" She winked at Sesshoumaru who barely contained a grimace.
"You're wrong on both accounts Kagura. Not only will I be taking my pup back and Sesshoumaru returning to his castle, but you will be here. Lying in a pool of your own blood" Kagome's Beast growled malevolently, her voice full of underlying promises. Kagura, smart enough to look at her opponent, shot up and grabbed her fan when greeted by Kagome's blood red eyes.
"I'll be damned if I give him up before I at least make it to Naraku. I can't afford much more trouble" Kagura flashed a creepy grin, "I haven't even got to play with him yet."
"YOU WONT TOUCH HIM" Kagome shot forward slashing with the blades attached to her arms. Two deep gashes appeared on Kagura's bare stomach and back. Kagura stared disbelieving at the wounds before glancing over her shoulder where Kagome was picking up her pup gently, her beast purring to calm him.
"Dance of Blades" Kagura called swiping her fan towards the two. Kagome darted out of the way and was beside Sesshoumaru within a second. Silently she forced the pup into his arms and drew her swords.
"Get him out of here…I'll catch up soon" Kagome snarled, and Sesshoumaru nodded once wanting to get away from the still nude Kagura. Her smell was repulsing and her attempts to seduce him were getting annoying. He disappeared as he backtracked to the Half-breed and the rest of his crew.
Seconds after his finely tuned ears picked up the sounds of feral growls, bones snapping and screams. Only two screams sounded like desperate attacks while the others were of pure terror and pain. His beast demanded he go back there and watch the Ketsuen Inu tear the witch apart but his rational part decided to just follow the female's wishes, she would owe him for this; that he knew.
A wave of power washed over the area just as he reached the Half-breed, the same wave that occurs when one turns into their true form; the inner form of the Beast.
Does it not feel oddly like the female?
Pfft, females lost the ability. I doubt one human turned demon has that ancient power.
Sesshoumaru soon ate his words as a large, slightly calmed; ebony colored Inu pounced into the clearing. He placed the pup in the middle of the clearing and stepped back, unknown males are considered threats to enraged females.
Kagome started walking forward, changing back with each step. Fully in her humanoid form she was covered in blood, all belonging to Kagura. It matted her hair, and clung to her skin. Some was even dripping off the claws of left hand, as if she held her with one and gutted her with the other.
"Two ribs broken…Kagura had it coming…" Kagome whispered to Sango who had hurried over to help the demoness. She gently picked up her pup and walked over to Kirara and the Monk. "Take him to the castle; get a healer to look at him. I'll be there shortly; InuYasha, go with them."
After giving a glare that would freeze hell over to a stubborn Hanyou, they were off. Once out of sight, Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru with a stoic façade rivaling his own. One elegant eyebrow rose arrogantly as he gave her a bored look.
"I owe you for helping me, I'm not stupid enough to try and weasel out of it." She said smoothly and slowly, evidently trying to work up her nerve to say her next words. "As payment I will be at your call if you ever need me, if…you agree to one more thing…"
"That would be?"
"I want you to train me to control my beast and prefect my knowledge of weapons in about two months."
"Hn"
"Please, it would be sooner but I have some issues to resolve before them" she replied to his 'intelligent' answer before mumbling lower then ever, "and I do have to wait out my first heat…"
'So she is young…' Sesshoumaru pondered her proposition for a few moments, considering all angles. He would have a powerful ally among his brothers group, a spy to gather information on his enemies, and someone to help his armies if needed. It was a win-win situation for him.
Kagome was disheartened; Sesshoumaru had just stood there in silence with his eyes closed. She turned and began walking away towards the castle where she could tend to her pup. Sesshoumaru opened his eyes as soon as she moved, molten gold smoldering as he held his indifferent mask. He almost smirked when he said;
"In exchange for training, you will become an officer for the Western Lands, answering directly to me. You will gather information as you travel and relay any of importance back to me. If you are ever needed, you will battle for my armies. Understood?"
Kagome froze at his words before dashing over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Thanks!" She smiled brightly before her brilliant eyes widened to an impossible size and backed off so fast that he barely saw her move. She bowed her head slightly, hiding the blush gracing her face. "I'm sorry Sesshoumaru"
"Hn" Sesshoumaru turned and began walking, throwing her another bored look over his head, "Find me in two months."
A bright smile adorned Kagome's face as she bowed again before disappearing into the trees heading towards the east, towards the Castle. Sesshoumaru shook his head before, with silver hair swinging, he walked in the other direction.
:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:
"NO WAY IN FUCKING HELL"
Kagome cringed slightly at the loudness of InuYasha. Really, did he HAVE to get in her face and yell like that? It was bad when she was human, now he sounds like a banshee,
Quite annoying really…
"I wasn't asking permission InuYasha, I was telling you. Now, Im going to see to my pup and then resume my training with Cynder, so leave me be." She hissed icily, sweeping past the irate Hanyou and down the hall. Ayame and Sango flanked each side, both throwing glares at the same Hanyou.
"He is such an idiot. It hurt my ears to hear him screech and I was down the hall! It must have been horrid to have it right in your face" Ayame growled, her white pelt bristling as she walked. Sango just nodded in agreement.
"Takai is out in the Gardens with Shippo; the healers healed his ribs easily as well as fed him. After that you're going to train with Shinto in weapons for a bit then beast control with Cynder." Sango whispered to her as they stepped out into the Eastern Gardens.
Almost instantly two furry blurs latched on to Kagome. Both bundles of joy were laughing and grinning.
"Hey mama!" Shippo cried, nuzzling closer to her. Takai gave her a smile that said everything he didn't want to say aloud. She smiled and kissed them both on the head and stood up.
"Have to go now, why don't you go set InuYasha on fire and annoy Miroku?"
Both pups grinned evilly and headed into the castle off to find their unsuspecting victims.
"I almost feel sorry for who ever gets into their eyesight..." Sango laughed, walking ahead of the two demons. "Oh, Kagome, I heard that Sesshoumaru agreed to train you in two months. What do you have to give him in return? It couldn't have been a cheap trade."
"I'm on call for his army at all times; I'm a spy that answers directly to him and pretty much warrior mutt who he gets to boss around." Kagome said, making a funny face. Her friends laughed before Sango stopped before a large Dojo hidden in the trees of the extensive garden, she picked up a black bag beside the door and tossed it to her.
"InuYasha got this from your time when we forced him to go back and inform your family of why you left so abruptly. He said your mom said it was 'new attire for the new look'. Whatever that means…" Kagome looked in the bag and her eyes widened to huge proportions, a deep red blush washed across her cheekbones.
"What is it?" Ayame said looking genuinely worried, Kagome shook her head and looked at them.
"I'm going to kill my mother…" she wordlessly showed them the contents and they laughed their asses off.
Inside the bag…was a few new outfits…one containing leather…and another of short shorts and a army bathing suit top…she didn't even dare look to see what was underneath the first two.
"Is that normal attire for women in your time? Its very revealing, not that I'm one to talk" Ayame snickered picking up the bathing suit top with one claw.
Kagome smirked before lunging at the Wolven Princess.
:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:
"You're swinging too wide, keep your arms in and move faster. It will not only protect you, but cause much more damage" Shinto yelled across the dojo. Kagome was fighting against his General, and was winning…but her technique was horrible. They had been at it for over three hours, first with her glaive (which she pretty much had down to an art), and now with her arm blades.
Kagome took another swing at Kuro, a dark brown wolf demon from the Southern Lands, she managed to land a good hit on his upper arm before he got her right in the gut.
"ARMS IN! Only use those blades widely in a whole group of demons, it will take out many." Shinto yelled again, overall he was surprised at the pace she was advancing. If she wasn't already on call for the Western Lord then he would consider making her one of his Captains when she was mature.
"Feet apart, they are too close together" Kuro said as he knocked her on her ass…again.
Despite being good enough to pulverize InuYasha and Kagura, she couldn't match a seasoned warrior with over 2,000 years of experience.
"That's enough for today, we don't want her tired during her control training" Shinto gave Kuro a friendly pat on the back and inspected the wounds she inflicted, "Go get these cleaned up, Nala would kill me if you came home like this. Good job Kaggie, you learn quick so it shouldn't be long before you might actually be a challenge for me"
"Count on me kicking both your asses one day, ShinShin." Kagome gave him a fanged grin when he growled at his nickname. She dodged his halfhearted lunge and skedaddled out of there.
She dashed into the castle, up the stairs, and around a corner only to meet a hard, armored chest. Rubbing her head and growling, Kagome looked up to apologize only to eat her words. In front of her was a dragon demon with short sea green hair, falling bad-boyishly into his face. His eyes were of the most stunning, lively red and right now they were full of amusement. But what caught her eye was the outline of a raindrop on his forehead, and upside down triangles on his upper arms right beside his shoulders.
He was a lord…a high one or a lower one she didn't know…
"You must be Kagome; Cynder has told me much about you. I am Lord Kage of the Northern Lands, pleased to meet you."
Kagome blinked up at the male in obvious shock.
At least her question was answered…

How was it? I liked it, didn't you? I got over 40 reviews so I'm a happy camper. Nothing really new going on so I might as well get to the good stuff…THE (insert dramatic drum roll)
