Chapter 9
After they had parked their motorcycles in different locations, Kagome finished explaining her plan before taking in a deep breath. She was going to walk in alone; she would walk up the shrine steps and into the house on her own, she was going to order them to allow her to speak with her brother and if they would not follow her orders then she would make them move. She was going to have her brother leave a note to their mother and she was going to lead them through the forest that rested behind the shrine. She was the only one that knew where all the traps laid. She had Ayame waiting for her brother at the other end and Sango and Rin waiting for her once she returned with the group of followers that would be out to get her.
After taking a calming breath, Kagome reached the top of the stairs with a smile on her face before saying, "Hello boys…long time no see."
"Kagome-sama…you are not supposed to be here." One of the body guards was heard.
"I came to see my brother…now move out of my way…otherwise I will move you and anyone else that gets in my way." Kagome answered in a calm and sweet voice as she looked up and into her old bed room window only to smile at her little brother.
"I cannot allow you to do that until I have confirmed it with your mother." The guard stated.
Before Kagome could even reply, she couldn't help but grin when she heard her brother call out, "My mother isn't supposed to know…I called my sister for help on my homework. Just let her up already!"
"But Sir."
"No buts! Let my sister in now!" Sota roared before slamming the window shut.
"Anything else you'd like to tell me?" Kagome mocked as she walked pass the guard and into the house.
"Just one question." He whispered as one of his employees's stopped her from walking in.
"And that would be?" Kagome hissed out in anger as she looked over her shoulder and glared at the head of security.
"Where's your engagement ring?"
After using her miko energy to purify the demon until he let her go, Kagome stormed into the house and slammed the door behind her. Once she and her brother were left alone, Kagome smiled at him as she hugged him back. After taking in a deep breath, Kagome pulled away, locked eyes with her brother and said, "We need to get you out of here…I'll explain everything once we're safe."
"Is there really somewhere where we'll be safe from that bitch?" Sota asked in a bitter filled voice.
As she tried to get her head to start working again, Kagome took in a deep breath, closed her eyes and asked, "What is that supposed to mean? Sota how much do you know?"
"I know that you're my half sister and that Kim went crazy after our dad died." Sota answered before quickly adding, "And that she wanted to marry you off to a bastard that would allow himself to be used and that she is going to use me against you if you ever ran away from Hojo."
"You're going to tell me how you know all of this after we've left a note behind for the bitch to find." Kagome added with a proud grin on her face.
"Already done, was printing it out while you were talking politely with the guard at the door." Sota shot back with a grin of his own.
"You sure as hell are my little brother." Kagome mumbled as she took in a deep breath before adding, "But we need to get something from dad's room before we go."
"Bitch cleaned the room out before she stuck me in here." Sota pointed out as he followed after his sister up the shrine steps.
"Not everything…come on." Kagome whispered as she began to lead the way.
Rin and Sango looked at one another with unsure looks in their eyes. They knew that Kagome could move fast but what they didn't know and hadn't planned on with was Sota siding with the evil witch of the west. Just as they were about to try to call Ayame they heard it, they heard the roars of the demons their friend was fighting and could hear Kagome yelling at her brother to hurry the fuck up. Just as they were about to move, Sango locked eyes with Rin and asked, "Don't you dare let your guard down…the last thing we need is trying to stop your mate from attacking our friend."
"He won't attack her…trust me…he knows that I love her to much for him to hurt her." Rin added with a grin on her face as she gripped her weapon.
"Alright, then it's our turn…come on before she gets all of the fun." Sango stated before running off with her sword drawn.
"You read my mind." Rin whispered before running past her friend in her hanyou from and joining the fight.
As she danced around the surprised demons that had not been expecting them, Rin made her way to the demon in charge. Just as she had pinned him to the side of the house, Rin couldn't help but grin at his shocked expression. After taking in a deep and calming breath, and after making sure that Sango would not need her help any time soon, Rin glared at the demon that now submitted to her as she growled out, "What is it with you fools and betraying your clan? How the hell can you stand to work for a bitch like Kim Higurashi?"
"She offered us a lot of money for protection detail and that's it." He growled back before bowing his head back down.
"If you think that I will allow this think again you fool." Rin growled out before knocking the demon out.
"That was quick, figured you would have questioned him a bit more." Sango was heard as she ran past her before flipping the human that held at gun and that had pointed it at her friend over her shoulder while breaking his shoulder.
"I'm returning the favor…I'm letting my mate deal with these fools." Rin answered as she turned around with a grin on her face only to find the other three inu demons that had followed the idiot that had taken the money.
"Good, now keep your eyes open." Sango hissed out as she grabbed the gun and quickly took it apart.
"No need to tell me…come one…the meeting place is by the well house." Rin growled before jumping over Sango and landing in the tree only to drop down a human man that had been about to shoot her friend.
"Thanks." Sango stated as she began to lead the way.
"No problem let's just hope that Kagome is doing just as well." Rin pointed out as she jumped out of the tree only to land next to her friend as if it weren't that far of a leap.
"Show off." Sango mumbled with a grin on her face before breaking the chain that held the well house closed.
"I'm not a show off…not my fault that your lacking in speed now a days." Rin teased with a grin of her own.
She had just gotten her brother out of there and knew that she didn't have much time. Kagome locked eyes with her best friend and said, "Get him out of here…I covered him in wolfs bane and the necklace I gave you should protect you…just get the hell out of here and we'll meet up where planned."
"Kagome…" Sota asked in a confused voice.
"Don't worry kid, I'm going to meet up with you later…but right now I have to go back and help out Sango and Rin out of a bind." Kagome explained with a smile on her face, I'll be fine and so will you…just do as Ayame tells you to do and don't answer any questions until I meet up with you."
"Come on Sota…lets go." Ayame growled as she handed him a motorcycle helmet.
"Promise me you'll be alright." Sota stated in a stubborn voice as he refused the helmet.
"I promise now get the hell out of here." Kagome hissed out before turning her back and running off and into the forest.
"She's going to be fine…you know her….now come on, we need to get out of here." Ayame growled as she took the break off the bike.
Knowing that Ayame spoke the truth, Sota nodded his head and got on the bike. His sister never broke her promises. Once she was sure that they were far enough away, Kagome took in a deep breath before quickly catching up to the bastards that had been after her and her brother. Just as they were about to attack her, Kagome smiled at the group with a grin on her face before jumping up and tripping one of the traps she had in place. By the time they had realized what it was that she had done it was too late, they were all trapped in a miko enforced cage. As she walked over to the cage, Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the group of idiots before saying, "Tell my mother she will never hurt me or my brother again and that she should watch her back."
"She'll never let you get away with this." one of the humans was heard.
"We'll see about that…see you later boys." Kagome stated before running off and toward her friend.
In what she had been told was true, her mother was not going to let this down, others would be sure to see her as a weak leader since she had allowed her son to be taken. Of course that was the story she would tell instead of the truth. She would rather have others believe she was weak then them knowing the truth that her son had been taken from her by her upset and furious daughter. Just as she had reached the shrine grounds, Kagome couldn't help but grin when she saw that everyone was either submissive as hell and in their spots or knocked out.
'Good, I know I could count on them…now to the well house.' Kagome thought as she walked in with a grin on her face. But just as she was about to greet her friends, Kagome quickly used her miko powers and placed a barrier around Rin before pushing Sango out of the way. As soon as the gun shot had gone off Rin froze in place as she watched Kagome take the hit for Sango. While Rin watched Kagome hit the ground with her hand on the wound, she also watched as Sango quickly and easily reacted.
After making sure that Sango had taken care of the threat and that there was no one else hiding in the well house, Kagome lowered her barrier as she heard Rin yell out, "You fucking idiot! You hadn't recovered all of your blood yet!"
"Yeah well…it's not that serious and we got five minutes, if not less, to get what I need before the cops get here." Kagome hissed out as she kept her hand over her shoulder wound while walking down to the well.
"It's in the well?" Sango asked in a confused voice as she stood at her side before adding, "And you're not going down there."
"I am since you two would only be knocked out by the spell my father left here…only a blood relative can go in and get what he left…and since I would have needed my blood anyway." Kagome joked with a grin on her face before jumping into the well.
"She is going to be the death of me." Rin growled out before turning back to her human form.
"You and me both," Sango hissed as she glared daggers down and into the dark empty well.
