The Ultimate Destiny
Chapter 7: Getting Down Tonight
Kagome gritted her teeth together. Ever since Ketaramaru and she joined Sesshomaru's pack, they have been growling at each other for at lest TWO DAYS and it's really starting to bug her to no end. Even Ka-Su was growling at both the Taiyoukai and Ah-Un, who seems to take a liking to Ka-Su.
"Look here, boy. I can tell where this Naraku guy is now and I say he is that way." Ketaramaru said, pointing North.
"…and I say that you're wrong. The last time he disappeared he fled this way." Sesshomaru said, pointing East.
Ketaramaru halted in her tracks. "How can I be wrong? My hearing and sense smell is more acute than yours! Remember that!"
Sesshomaru growled, also halting in his tracks. "Preposterous. There is no way a demoness like you could possibly have a better hearing AND smelling range. You must be jesting."
Ketaramaru growled back. "I am SCERTAINLY not JESTING. I've learned how to strain both my hearing and my sense of smell."
"Then prove it to me." he hissed.
"Fine. I will." she hissed back. Ketaramaru closed her eyes and focused on her surroundings. Her pointed ears wiggled a bit. Her nose did the same. She opened her eyes and turned her head, facing towards the Taiyoukai.
"Well?" Sesshomaru said impatiently. The demoness smirked.
"10 miles to the East, I can smell a human village seeming to have sort of big feast, and 15 miles towards the West…" she said, eyeing the demon, "…Inuyasha seems to be having a fit of some sort because he's defiantly cursing a lot. Seems that the demon slayer is trying to keep him in check while trying to keep the monk from touching her. Let's just say that the monk will be taught a lesson in about three seconds…"
Suddenly, an eco of a slap was heard follow by a faint but understandable yell of 'HENTAI' (think of how it would sound like far away).
"My assumption was wrong on time…it was only one second…"
Sesshomaru scowled. Ketaramaru heard his scowl and smirked.
"Do you believe me now or are you just going to be the pompous ass you are?" Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red before returning to their normal state.
"You are treading on a thin line, bitch." he hissed.
"Now we're referring to names, are we? Well two can play at that game, bastard." she hissed back.
"Stupid demoness."
"Damn Taiyoukai."
"Insufferable girl."
"Patronizing bastard."
"ALRIGHT!! THAT'S IT!! I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOUR CONSTENT BICKERING!! BESIDES, THERE'S A CHILD HERE!!" Kagome roared at the two demons while pointing a finger at Rin. Both demons stopped and turned their heads towards Kagome and growled.
"You have no right to yell at us , miko." Ketaramaru hissed.
"I agree fully." Sesshomaru said.
"Well I HAD to yell at you two because you were ARGUING ever since WE joined YOUR group Sesshomaru! If you both don't shut up I swear that you will regret it!" Kagome snapped at them. The two demons looked at each other before looking back at Kagome.
"Like what, miko?" asked Sesshomaru. Kagome smirked.
"Like…this!" Before Sesshomaru could react, the miko lunged at him and place something around his neck before backing away very fast. Sesshomaru looked down. His eyes widened. To his utter most horror, he lifted up some necklace that closely resembles the subjugation necklace that Inuyasha wears. Sesshomaru tried to take it off every way he could but every time he tried, the necklace would either flash or it would shock him. He finally released the necklace and faced the miko once again before growling at her.
I wouldn't do that Sesshomaru if I were you…" the miko said. Sesshomaru's growl grew louder before he lunged at her. Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he saw the smirk plastered on the miko's face. He new what was coming.
"Sesshomaru…DOWN BOY!!"
Before he could reach her, he was suddenly plummeted towards the ground by a heavy force.
CRASH
Debris flew around the ground before clearing up to show Sesshomaru face first into the ground. He slowly lifted his head up from the ground.
"Miko…" he said warningly.
"NO!! Don't MIKO me Sesshomaru! You will either call me by my name or I'll D-O-W-N you until you do and if you are thinking of having me take it off then NO! I'm not!"
Sesshomaru scowled but didn't say anything. He then heard a loud howl of laughter come from the demoness as he whipped his head around and glared at her.
"You think seeing me being controlled by a HUMAN if funny?"
"YES!!" Ketaramaru laughed out. Sesshomaru just growled at her. Kagome then reverted her eyes towards Ketaramaru.
"Oh and don't you think you are not getting one either! I have made one just for you too!"
Ketaramaru stopped laughing at glared at the girl. "You wouldn't dare…" But she never got to finish on the count that the second necklace the miko had was placed around her neck.
Ketaramaru growled at her. "Miko…" she said warningly.
Kagome couldn't help but smirk at that. 'They really are alike…for them to be saying the same short sentences and words I mean…'
Ketaramaru suddenly lunged at her.
"Ketaramaru…HEEL GIRL!!"
She suddenly was stopped in mid air before she too was throw towards the ground.
CRASH
Kagome let out a sigh before grinning. 'Ahhh…sweat revenge…' Kagome thought.
She looked to see if there were two holes…but she managed to only find one. Kagome then heard growling.
"Get off me, bitch!!" Sesshomaru hissed.
"I would if I could bastard but the damn necklace won't let me up!!" she hissed back.
"Well TRY!!"
"Like I said I WOULD IF I COULD!!"
"WELL IF YOU CAN"T GET OFF ME THEN I WILL MAKE YOU!!"
"YOU WOULN'T EVEN LIFT ME UP EVEN IF YOU TRIED!!"
"ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M WEAK?!"
"MAYBE I AM!!"
"WHEN I GET OUT OF THIS, THE FIRST THING I'M GOING TO DO IS RIP YOU TO SHREADS!!"
"TRY TO, IF YOU EVEN CAN!!"
"WHY YOU—"
"DOWN!! HEEL!!"
CRASH
BAM
"WHY CAN'T YOU TWO JUST GET ALONG!!" Kagome shouted before running off, crying. Both dragons blink in the direction she ran off towards while Jaken and Rin were staring at the hole in the ground. Rin was probably the first one to approach the hole. She peered in. Both demons were looking up at her with their dirt covered faces. Rin squealed before jumping in the hole with them, landing straight on Ketaramaru's back.
"I wanna play!" squealed Rin. Both the demons groaned before banging their heads on the ground.
"Damn…" they both muttered.
Couple of minutes later, the spell wore off on the both of them. They both got out of the hole that was in the ground before starring at each other. Sesshomaru then turned around and started walking in the direction of where the miko ran off.
"Where are you going?" Ketaramaru asked. Sesshomaru stopped and turned around.
"I'm going to retrieve the miko. Where else?" Sesshomaru stated coolly. Ketaramaru narrowed her eyes at him before she closed her eyes and sat down under the tree.
"Hn. Do whatever you desire, BUT harm her in anyway and you have to face the consequence." Sesshomaru stared at her before turning back around and continuing his way towards the miko.
00000
Kagome sat on the ground near the river. Her legs were tucked up against her body as she supported them with her arms rapped around them. Her tears never stopped flowing from her eyes as she mentally cursed at the two demons actions.
'They will probably never learn to get along with each other…' She let out an irritated sigh before raising her head up towards the sky.
"WHY CAN'T THEY JUST SETTLE DOWN?!"
CRASH
Kagome turned her head to see that Sesshomaru was once again on the ground face first. Her eyes widened.
"Se…Sesshomaru?" Kagome got up and ran towards his body before kneeling down beside him. "Oh Kami Sesshomaru I didn't mean it! I swear I didn't!! Are you ok?"
Kagome was answered with a low growl from the Taiyoukai. Kagome crossed her arms and huffed.
"Well excuse me Mr. High and Mighty for worrying about you!" she snapped at him. Sesshomaru lifted his head.
"Miko…I forbid you to talk to me in such a manner…also, get this infernal thing off of my person." Kagome narrowed her eyes at him.
"I am NOT one of your damn servants, Sesshomaru! So don't order me around!" Sesshomaru snorted.
"Hn, I do as I see fit miko for I AM a lord."
"Whatever…" Kagome mumbled. Once the spell wore off, Sesshomaru calmly raised himself from the ground before staring at the miko before him. Her features held sadness and a tad bit of loneliness which in Sesshomaru's case, he despised. He let out an agitated sigh before sitting down besides her, making sure not to get to close.
"Why are you here Sesshomaru?" Kagome spoke up. Sesshomaru turned his head to stare at her with his golden eyes.
"Miko, you seem…upset. Why?" Kagome glared at him.
"That's for me to know and for you to NOT find out…besides, why do you care? I'm a lowly human remember?" she bit out.
Sesshomaru had to hold down the urge to slash at her. He clenched his teeth together. "Miko…I don't care about humans OR miko's, but the cause of you being upset annoys me."
Kagome gave him a 'you're serious' look before answering. "What do you mean?"
"I can sense your uneasiness, miko." Kagome made an 'o' sound before she turned her head from him and stared out into the forest. Sesshomaru reverted his eyes from her body towards the grassy ground between them. The grass suddenly rustled as the wind brushed against it.
Fol…
Kagome's head snapped back towards him.
"Did you say something?" Sesshomaru stared at back at her.
"No." Kagome eyed him warily.
"Then if you didn't whisper, then...who did?"
Kagome could have sworn she saw some sort of emotion pass through the Taiyoukai's eyes. Was it…worry? No. Sesshomaru never worries about anything. Suddenly, the voice came back.
Follow yo…
Kagome shivered slightly as she twisted her body to look behind herself.
"There is was again…" It was Sesshomaru's turn now to eye her warily.
"There was what miko? What nonsense do you speak of?" Kagome turned around to face Sesshomaru once again.
"The voice…the whisper, something, I don't know!! Can't you hear it?"
Sesshomaru growled lowly. "For a human you really are senseless. What is there to hear? Except for your constant chattering, there is nothing else to hear but the wind." Kagome mentally slapped herself in the face. The wind blew a bit harder.
Follow your heart…
Then the wind slowed down before it stopped. The grass stopped had rustling and only thing that moved were the tree tops that swayed with the breeze.
"Follow you heart…" Kagome repeated. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. Seeing this, she gave him a pathetic smile while waving her hands out in front of her.
"Sorry…I'm just sp—"
Suddenly, a loud scream was heard from the campsite. Sesshomaru and Kagome both jumped to their feet before running back to the camp. Upon reaching the campsite, the scream was heard again followed by a loud yell.
"WANT TO SAY THAT TO MY FACE, TOAD?!"
"WHAT'S THERE TO SAY, YOU NO GOOD LOUSY DEMONESS!!"
"'WHAT'S THERE TO SAY' MY ASS!! WAIT UNTILL SESSHOMARU HEARS ABOUT THIS…HE'LL BE PISSED!!"
"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!!"
"OH I WOULD AND I WILL!!"
"WHY YOU UNGRATEFUL DOG WHORE!!"
CRASH!!
SMACK!!
YELP!!
BANG!!
GROWL!!
CRACK!!
YELP!!
SQUAWK!!
Kagome 'eeped' and ducked as Jaken was sent flying over her head. Sesshomaru stood there somewhat mildly amused about the whole scene. Ketaramaru suddenly appeared and was waving her fist at the frightened kappa that now stood behind Sesshomaru's legs.
"Don't you even dare mess with me ever again, toad!" she hissed at Jaken before facing both Kagome and Sesshomaru. She blinked at them both.
"Care to explain what is so amusing to you, Sesshomaru?" she stated coldly. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.
"What, may I ask, were you two doing?" Ketaramaru glared at the kappa, who let out a squawk before burring himself into Sesshomaru's pant leg. Sesshomaru nearly rolled his eyes at him.
"Well, let's just say that you faithful servant, as he so calls himself, started to call my ward nasty names in front of your ward and then started calling me an 'ungrateful dog'…just as you heard…" she mumbled the last part. Sesshomaru's cold gaze glared down at the kappa, who now had taken a step back from his lord.
"Jaken…"
"Y…yes mi…milord?" Sesshomaru kept his cold glared at kappa before kicking him even farther away from the camp and then walked away. Kagome followed Sesshomaru, trying as hard not to laugh…though the only thing that came through her mouth were a bit of whooping sounds. Ketaramaru glared at where Jaken was sent flying before walking back towards the camp with the other two.
"Damn kappa's and their stupid ego's…" muttered a somewhat irritated demoness before she sat back down under the same tree. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes but never less smirked. The demoness glared at the Taiyoukai.
"And what may I ask is so funny fur ball?"
The Taiyoukai's smirk was replaced with a savage snarl.
"Watch your tongue, bitch!" Sesshomaru hissed.
"Oh…and what are you going to do about it, hm?"
"I'll kill you slowly and painfully." She made a fake pout.
"Oh, Sesshomaru! And I thought you were better than that!" Then her voice changed to a serious tone. "Besides…you have said that about…lets see…five, ten times already and you still haven't killed me. You can't kill me Sesshomaru and that's a fact." Sesshomaru growled lowly and then stopped.
"As a matter of fact, I can kill you." Ketaramaru raised an eyebrow at him.
"How, dear little brother of mine?" Sesshomaru growled, but continued.
"A trap." Ketaramaru's other eyebrow joined the other one.
"A…trap?" Sesshomaru nodded. The group went silent.
00000
Jaken couldn't believe his bad luck…he knew that bringing that other human in the group would be a bad idea. He started to curse at her so called ward in front of the demoness and what does he get?
Kicked.
And as was behind his lord's legs when the demoness appeared AND told what he had said to him, what did his lord do to HIM?
Kicked him!
He gave a mutter of curses before sighing in defeat.
'Why me?'
Suddenly, a roar of laughter was heard from the forest. Jaken, unsuspected from the sudden outburst, jumped ten feet into the air and then landed with a 'plop'.
He looked up towards the sound of wings flapping overhead and saw a flock of crow demons flying away from the noise. He cursed once again before standing up and walking towards the camp.
'Well…at least I know that I wasn't kicked too far away…'
00000
Sesshomaru had his eyes shut and a fist out in front of him shaking violently (enter anime vain). He really and I mean REALLY wanted to kill her now. All he did was state that he could kill her with a trap and what did he get?
He got laughed at.
Not only by her but also her dragon as well! A minute passed as the two demoness's stopped laughing.
"Alright." Sesshomaru snapped open his eyes at her.
"What did you just say?" Ketaramaru smirked.
"I'll take you on your challenge." Sesshomaru stared at her.
"I wasn't aware that this was a challenge." he stated.
"Well now you made it one. Here's the rules, if you succeed in catching me, I'll do whatever you want…but if I win…" she stared at him before continuing. "…you will have to do what I desire of you." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her before giving out a snort.
"Hn, fine." Ketaramaru smirk grew.
"Good boy, little brother. We start tomorrow. Who ever wins will follow the other one's orders."
Sesshomaru knew this was going to be a difficult thing to do, but it will give him some time to strengthen his youkai's power at least. In order to catch her, he needed a really good plan. He then let out a smirk of his own.
"Deal."
Kagome gulped. She knew this was going to be a very, very bad idea, but she couldn't stop them from doing so. She mentally slapped her head and shook it back and forth.
'Why now?'
