Chapter 7
In The Feudal Era
Rin POV
We finally got to the edge of the village, and looked around. We were struck speechless by what we saw. This was no bird demon village. This village had bird, horse cat, dog, dragon, half demons, and humans.
" What now?" I asked.
" Well let's find someone, and ask them for help."
"Izayoi! Izayoi? Is that you?"
Izayoi looked at where the voice was coming from. There was a tall woman with short purple hair, with lavender highlights. She also had green eyes, and a greyish purple flame, with a blue bolt of lighting through it mark on her neck.
She's a dragon demon. Said my demon
"Saraphina? Is that you? What are you doing here?" said Izayoi as she ran towards her, and gave her a hug.
"Oh, Izayoi I should be asking you that?"
" What has happened?"
"Well, it's a long story. Ryuukotsusei had gone out on patrol, and my daughter, and I had gone to bed. Later on in the night I heard a scream from my daughters room. When I got there Ryuu's ex fiancé, who was visiting us for the week, because of an upcoming ball, was standing over my daughter, and she was unconscious. When she saw me, she attacked me and knocked me out. When I woke up we were in the forest around this village."
"Excuse me, what is this village?" I asked.
" Oh, I'm sorry how rude of me. My name is Saraphina I am the mate Ryuukotsusei, and the empress of the dragon kingdom in the north, it's a pleasure to meet you."
" The pleasure is all ours." Said Kagome " My name is Kagome, and this is Rin."
"Its very nice to meet you. My daughter is back at our hut cooking dinner. Her name is Suishou."
" What you said happened to you is similar to what happened to us." I said
"I'm not surprised most of the people here have the same story."
"What do you mean?" asked Izayoi.
" All of the people here were kidnapped from their homes and dumped here. They are all the mates, or children of upper class demons. They were all dumped here, and couldn't escape, so they eventually built this village."
" Why couldn't they escape?" I asked.
" There is a huge barrier around this area that's is keeping us from getting out. We have tried every power we have, both demons, and humans with spiritual powers, and nothing works. We are stuck here."
"Oh No! This can't be. How can I be stuck here I have to get back to Inutaisho. We are mated he will suffer if I'm gone."
"Relax Izayoi I'm sure he'll be fine until we get out of here. I mean you lasted this long."
" You don't understand. When we mated and did the blood exchange Inutaisho gave me his blood, but he wouldn't take mine. He said it was so that if something like this were to happen I wouldn't feel any pain. He would not let me go against this, because he is so stubborn. I don't even want to think about what he is going through right now."
" Don't remind Ryuu did the same thing, and I couldn't regret more right now."
" Well if we are stuck here we might as well build a hut of our own." Said Kagome.
She is taking this rather well don't you think youkai.
I agree, maybe she doesn't want to go home.
Why would she not want that?
I don't know why don't you ask her yourself.
I will later when we are alone.
Good plan.
Saraphina saying something else took me out of my thoughts.
"If you want to build a hut you have to clear a portion of the forest, and use the wood to build your hut."
" Are there no free huts in the village."
"Everything here is crowded as it is, and also every one here has built their own huts."
" Well we best get to work then." Said Kagome.
" Don't worry you can borrow our tools that we made and we will help you clear trees in our true forms."
" Thanks that's means a lot." Said Saraphina.
" Excuse me, Rin was it, you can help us clear trees in your true form as well."
"My true form?" I said confusion etched on y forehead.
"Why so confused?"
" Rin just recently regained her powers after five years. I am afraid she is till new to her demon powers." Said Izayoi.
" Oh, well then I guess you can't clear trees after all, but don't worry its okay."
I feel awful that I can't help. I wish I could use my true form.
" Saraphina could you teach me how to use my true form."
" I would if I could but the process is different for dog demons, and finding your true form is something that come with time. The closer you get to your demon, and the more your trust for each other grows, eventually your demo will reveal how to unlock our true form. Okay?"
"Okay" I sighed.
Sorry Rin I know we are in a tough situation right now, but I don't think you are ready to handle your true form just yet.
It's okay Youkai I understand, but maybe I could use that technique I used back at the garden to clear trees.
No that technique would obliterate the trees rather than cut them down. However there is a technique I could teach you that could be helpful.
What is it?
I will tell you and teach it to you when we are in the forest. This technique is best practiced with out any potential victims near by.
Okay if you say so.
" Well come ladies we are not getting any work done just standing around her all day. Lets get to work."
With that we all headed in to any area of the forest near Saraphina's hut to clear our own area out, and build our new home.
Present Day
Sess POV
"My plan is to…."
I was interrupted by Touran.
"Wait a minute if only sub missives were being taken, then why are Sarah, and Kikyo gone as well."
" Thank you for bringing that up." I responded. " I have come up with two explanations. Either they were witness what happened, and were also taken in order to keep them quiet, or they had some sort of allegiance with the ones behind our mate's disappearances. Now as I was saying, my plan is to have a couple of us wear charms that will make us seem like sub missives. Then we will spend time with some of you to make it seem like we have some sort of significance, and influence on you. If it goes well all we would have to do is wait until who ever did this comes after, and let them take us right into the barrier."
" That's a great idea Sesshomaru, because it is crazy enough to just work. Question is who will be the ones to disguise themselves." Said my father.
" I am definitely going it was my idea so I should be one to go." I said.
The room erupted in chaos as all of the royals argued over who was going and who was staying. Suddenly my father stood up.
"ENOUGH! This is getting us nowhere. Also what if we are wrong? What if this is some form treason in order to take over, because they know that the absence of our mates will make us weaker. If some of us go those who stay will have to be fit to hold own the fort, should a crisis a rise. We have to remember that we still have nations to run. Therefore my sons and I will go, and Ryuukotsusei will take over in my place until I return, since he and I are pretty much equal in strength." Said my father as he nodded to Ryukotsusei, who nodded in return.
There wasn't really any place in the present day for large feudal castles, and huge dominated territories, so instead the leaders of the feudal era went from physical empires to business empires. They each owned all of the buildings that were in the outlines of their original territories. My father had not over developed, for he had left enough forest for the demons who lived here to phase into their true forms now and then.
"Any one opposed to that idea." He asked.
When no one said anything he continued.
" Good. We will pretend to be guests of Ryukotsuei while in disguise. I will contact Totosai and have him make the charms for us. Also I don't think I need to tell anyone here that not one word of what went on here is to be breathed to anyone for any reason. You are all dismissed, and you will all be contacted when the plan goes into action."
With that all of the royals stood up bowed and left, except for us.
"Boys I want you to go prepare for this mission. After I finish talking with Totosai I will meet with you to further discuss this, you are dismissed."
I noticed that a little light had filled father's eyes with what could only be hope.
Please Rin be okay I will find you, and bring you home mate if it is the last thing I do.
