Chapter 13- Didn't See It Coming
Sesshomaru was having an internal debate on what room to put the miko in. Last time she had escaped. NOt very successfully but why take another chance at it? He would just have to keep an eye on her in his own room. Dropping her down on his futon, the great demon Lord paused in though. Now that he was able to touch the sword he didn't really have anymore need for the woman. Sesshomaru picked up the sword without any problem. Unsheathing it, he examined it closely. Words from another langague were engraved into the sword. The lettering was somehow familiar. He had seen it somewhere before. Sesshomaru glanced at the miko again. It didn't seem like she'd be waking up anytime soon.
Taking the sword with him, he left his room. It wouldn't take him that long. He knew what documents he could find it in. Entering his library, Sesshomaru grabbed what he needed. The documents were very old and just barely readable. They had belonged to his father. On the pages were various translations. It had not really been something Sesshomaru had paid attention to. It wasn't until now that he had even needed to. And there it was. On the very last page. The same type of symbols on the sword. There was a problem however. It was the only page without a translation. Why was that? What was this langague? Sesshomaru scanned down to the page where it should be, giving a long pause.
He had thought them to be a myth. Surely this couldn't be possible. Angels? This was the langague of Angels? The youkai Lord had dropped the sword down without even realizing it. There had to be some sort of mistake. As a demon he should not be able to touch this sword at all. No matter what the circumstances. And yet it had just been in his hand, causing himself no harm. Did he read the symbols wrong? Did the great Sesshomaru finally make a mistake?
Kneeling down, he place the old document beside the sword. Looking between the two he saw that there was no mistake. They were indeed the same symbols. But what could this mean? Why was he able to touch it? He needed to find someone able to read this. He felt it important that someone translate this to him. Sesshomaru picked up the sword with some disgust. He had wanted this holy sword? Sesshomaru held it tightly in hand, waiting for something to happen, only to come up with nothing. Dropping the sword back down, he glance to his hand. It should have been melted off by now for holding something so holy for that long. And yet it no longer had any affect on him.
Sesshomaru's nose twitched with distaste. Was that the half-breed he just smelled? Sheathing the sword back to his side, the youkai Lord strode out of the library. One of the maid-servants nearly collided with him, looking troubled.
Bowing low to the ground, she talked without looking up. "My apologies my Lord! Please forgive this lowly servant for even approaching you. There is however...um...a dog man in the main hall....demanding to see you, my Lord."
The youkai Lord's eyes narrowed at this bit of information. The little whelp had the nerve of entering his castle and demanding his own presence?
--------------------------------------------------------
Kagome awoke, feeling drowsy and confused. Had all that just been a dream. She looked around the room she was in. Nothing looked familiar about it. How had she gotten here??? Standing up, the raven haired girl put a hand to her head. What time was it anyway? Dragging her feet to the door, she took a peek out. Her eyes had to adjust to the poor lighting. She knew this hallway somehow. Slowly inching her way out, she looked around.
"Kagome!Kagome!" A ball of fur came charing for her, followed by a little girl. She took another look around. It was all coming back to her. This was Sesshomaru's castle. The miko looked down to the bundle in her arms. "Shippou!" Kagome hugged the fox demon to her. Rin came up to her as well, hugging her leg. Kagome took another look around. "How did I get back here?"
----------------------------------------------------------
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't squash you like the pest you really are."
Inuyasha paused. He had expected an attack. Instead the only thing he was currently receiving from his older half-brother was mild annoyance. Tightening his hand in the folds of his clothes, he managed to hesitate even longer. Sesshomaru was starting to wonder if he was perhaps slower than he had originally perceived him to be.
"I have something I need to give Kagome."
Sesshomaru held out his hand. "I will give it to her for you then."
Inuyasha held onto the object even tighter. "Like I would let you have it! Just let me see that stupid wench!"
And that is when all hell broke loose. Inuyasha didn't even see it coming.
