Chapter 9: passing as a dry foot person part 2
they were greeted by an expanse of land littered in many colors, that she realized were flowers. There were many different colors and types of flowers and Kagome was simply overjoyed with the abundance of them. There were also many types of trees with different flowers and fruits growing from them. Kagome slowly walked forward following the man that held her hand in his.
Sesshomaru walked into his room to see that Kagome was gone. 'she must have went exploring the grounds, I should find her and show her around a bit, knowing that women she would get lost somewhere.' he chuckled to himself as he walked off to look for her. He followed her scent quite easily and tracked her going down several hallways, from the way her scent smelt as he tracked it he could tell that she was utterly lost and he began to walk faster, that is until he smelt another:s scent with hers. He stopped completely and registered the males scent and found it to be very familiar. He was gone. Running down the corridors and halls at full speed, maids and anyone in the halls quickly flattened themselves to the walls or dived out of the way so that they would not be run down. He made it to the door of his gardens and pushed it open he then walked quickly to where her scent was getting stronger and found them sitting on a bench, next to a large sakura tree. Thats when the sound hit him, stopping him again. It was sad, mournful even, that tune was unlike anything he had ever heard to date, and he couldn't begin to describe the beauty of that softly hummed tune.
Kagome sat as she hummed her song, a song that came to her like the sounds of the breeze playing with the leaves as they floated from the trees, or the how the wind cried with the ocean so that the moon would hear of her plight. She knew something was coming and it was coming faster now. She knew something was wrong ever since she left her home in the ocean to come to the shoreline and sing for her mate. This song was brought out from that foreboding like feelings. She turned and saw him, Sesshomaru. Her song grew in strength the soft melody echoing with a ghostly feel. He walked closer to her and she stood. The trees and wind blew around her and the rustling seemed to flow just right with the song as it took on a slightly more upbeat sound. She had never hummed her tune like this and found it coming to her easily, as if she had found what she was looking for that night she went to the shore line. He took her hand in his as she ended her song or tune and they stared into each others eyes not noticing the other person they had completely forgotten, atleast until he cleared his throat loudly.
'What was that tune she had hummed, who knew she could sing so beautifully.' he didn't even realize it when they began to hold hands. The sound of the tune was so sad but as if she was for her lost lover or something, but once she turned and saw him it picked up slightly and lightened to that of almost happiness, even if it was still a little melancholy sounding. Could that have been for him. Sesshomaru didnt know what to think at the moment, he was completely stunned into silence. But once she spoke he had his full attention.
"Sesshomaru-sama, I have missed you." she beamed up at him continuing to ignore the third party. "kaizu here decided he would show me around and I got to hum one of my songs for him.""I noticed, but you will have to excuse me and Kaizu for a moment, there is a pond full of koi up ahead I will come and get you soon."Kagome beamed up at sesshomaru and said good bye to kaizu as she slowly walked away towards the pond, she would stick to the soft grass it was easier on her feet then the path that kaizu liked to take, not like she was complaining, but she didnt like the feel of some of the more jagged and sharper rocks.
"Kaizu, what are you up to?" asked Sesshomaru as he looked at the nekoyokai infront of him.
"I was merely enjoying showing the young lady, Kagome around, is that such a problem?"
"Do Not lie to me Kaizu, what were you really up to?"
"Fine, that nose of yours is something Sessh, well I simply ran into her in the halls and was wondering what this human looking girl was doing here, but something is odd about her, she doesn't seem human, and im sure you know that, so what is she inu."
"Kaizu, you dont need to know..."
"Actually as the lord of the Northern lands and your best friend, I kinda do."
Fine." growled Sesshomaru. "All you need to know is that is soon going to be my intended."
"What, and you didnt tell me earlier, I mean the girl isnt bad on the eyes, even though shes a little weird, and the fact that she is not wearing shoes... yeah."
"Shoes?" Sesshomaru looked at Kagome's feet to see that in fact she was shoeless. 'I must remember to get her some.'
"well she is kind hearted and has an innocent like manner, Sessh man I didnt know you were into that kind of girl, but you know what shocks me the most!"
"I told you before many times to never call me that, just because you are my companion does not mean you can call me all kinds of ridiculous names, and no I care not for what you think" said Sesshomaru as he glared at his so called friend.
"Hey, calm down Sesshomaru you know that I jest, besides what harm could I do, steal your women, she is completely into you there is no way I would be able to and I dont want to fight you for her either, besides im not gonna be here much longer and you will have her all to yourself once I leave around twilight."
"that is... understandable, but unfortunately I must cut this meeting to an end now, Kagome and I are needed else where." with those last words said Sesshomaru began to walk over to Kagome, Sesshomaru had to take Kagome to visit a witch doctor. As he approached her he noticed that she was staring down a fish, that was oddly staring back at her.
He came up behind her and squatted behind her looking over her shoulders. She was sitting in the grass with her legs over the side near the water, but not touching the liquid that would blow her identity and return her tail. Sesshomaru gazed at Kagome she looked cute with her small feet barely poking out from beneath the hakamas that she wore. She was leaning to the side and her her little fingers were the only things that poked out from beneath the sleeves of her top, thats when he noticed that the ties were slightly opened and the tops of her soft mounds were exposed. He took a deep breathe and sat on the grass next to her, bending one knee in a criss cross position, he then pulled the girl over into his lap and lifted his other leg so that it was off of the ground and draped his right arm around Kagome's waist as she snuggled against him.
"What are you doing Kagome?"
"I am talking with the koi fish... Is that a bad thing?" said Kagome after seeing the expression on Sesshomaru's face.
"no I guess not what does he say."
"SHE said that she lives a peaceful life here in the castle grounds and that she enjoys the food. She also mentioned how she hears a lot of gossip from the servants and youkai's that walk around the ponds, she also mentioned that it makes her life anything but dull. She also gave me piece of advice, but I didnt quite understand it."
"Really, what did she say?"
"She said to tread softly, and move quickly, and trust not the baboon with the long hair. That he sits and waits for a time when the dog sleeps and his treasure is most vunerable, what do you think she means by that?"
Sesshomaru almost had a heart attack, he glanced down and saw the koi fish watching him, it then seemed to have smiled and swam away. He knew exactly what the fish was talking about. "hnn, I am not sure."
Kagome then began to pout, "Yes you do, you just dont want to tell me, it's written all over your face."
Sesshomaru was surprised this onna knew him enough to see through his facade so easily it was scary. He almost smiled, she would be perfect for him. "hnn, indeed."
that only made Kagome pout harder. Sesshomaru stood pulling Kagome up with him, it is time for us to go, we have someone to meet."
"Really, who is she."
"A DOCTOR who will help us with OUR PROBLEM."
Kagome caught on immediately. "I see, well we should get going then." Kagome and Sesshomaru then began to walk to the entrance of the castle gates so that they would be able to start their journey to the "Doctor" that would hopefully solve one of their problems.
Sesshomaru would have to be ever vigilant, that scumbag Naraku was interested in his Kagome, he would have to watch over her carefully, and try to stay close to water ways that she could escape into, because really on land she was pretty much helpless, but in the water or even with some water around her she was a force to be reckoned with. As they reached the gate jaken came by with a servant that was holding his armor and swords, which he quickly put on. He then took the bag of supplies from the imp and opened it. He then turned to Kagome and pulled out a a strap he told everyone to turn around and made sure Kagome's back was to theirs as he opened her top and placed the strap around her waist and attached the blade to it in the pocket. He then closed her top and grunted letting everyone know that they were free to turn back around. He then looked back into the bag to see plenty of pouches of water and some dried meat, and Kagome's lotion, which with the "doctors" help she would no longer need. He shouldered the bag and felt a hand on his sleeve. He turned to see Kagome clutching his sleeve in one hand as she looked deep into the woods, she was a curious person and he could tell already that their journey would be far from quite. Thats when he saw the jewel around her neck, and he knew that she was worth it.
That is it for now, tell me what you think and I will have a update for you soon.
btw the song i had in mind for her to hum is the theme for the god father with slash that will give you a good picture of how it sounds.
