Chapter 14

They came to a slow gallop upon the sight of the gate. Kagome had already dispelled the invisibility spell earlier and Nigimi had transformed into his small form and hid cozily into Kagome's black cloak, camouflaging perfectly.

"Edoras and the Golden Hall of Meduseld. There dwells Théoden, King of Rohan, whose mind is overthrown. Saruman's hold over Théoden is now very strong." Gandalf said to them pulling Shadowfax to go through the gates.

Kagome and Shippo kept up with ease as they breezed through the village unnoticed. The silence upon them was broken when Gimli spoke his mind. "You'll find more cheer in a graveyard."

As they came to a halt and walked for an audience with the king, they were stopped by the guards.

"I cannot allow you before Théoden King so armed, Gandalf Grayhame. By order of Grima Wormtongue." As Gandalf nodded to his companions.

Shippo was reluctant to place his sword, Kurama, in the hands of potential ningen enemy but he knew better that the soul residing in said sword was strong enough to fend off enemies. So after his internal battle he placed the sword in their hands.

"Lose it and your life shall pay the price." He warned.

Lastly was Kagome. She took out every dagger, her bow but when it came to her swords… boy was she upset.

After a few whispers from Legolas, she reluctantly gave in and placed Inu no Hana, Tokijin and Himiko(now a short sword) into the hands of the guards captain. She too carried out her own threat much like her son.

"You lose this, and I will carve out every single bone of your body, making sure you are still alive. And by that time I assure you, you will beg for death." She warned. Satisfied as the captain paled and nodded frantically, taking special care for the four swords belonging to the mother and son duo.

After a few squabble regarding Gandalf's staff, they entered the Great Hall.

In the front of the room, one could very well tell that it was Théoden sitting in the chair, and that it was most likely Wormtongue sitting next to him. Even with his excellent Elvish hearing, Legolas had a difficult time hearing the words passed from Wormtongue to Théoden, for they were spoke in such low tones.

Though his words were clear as day to the two youkai's.

"My lord, Gandalf the Grey is coming. He's a herald of woe." Said the ugly creature unbefitting of a human beside him.

"The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late, Théoden King." Gandalf stayed on Legolas' arm as his staff remained unseen by anyone in front or behind him.

"He's not welcome." Wormtongue continued to whisper.

"Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stromcrow?" When Théoden looked at Grima, Grima stood.

"Just a question, my liege. Late is the hour in which this conjurer chooses to appear. Lathspell I name him. Ill news is an ill guest."

Gandalf looked annoyed for a moment and so did Kagome. "Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death, to bandy crooked words with a witless worm." Gandalf positioned his staff so Grima was able to see it.

Grima was enraged that the guards didn't follow orders. "His staff. I told you to take the Wizards staff!"

A menacing looking group of guards approached the four intending on taking away the staff, but Legolas and Aragorn started punching and kicking away at those who came in their bubble. Gimli and Boromir just barreled through. One of the guards crept behind Gandalf but was kicked away by Shippo.

Finding out that they were hard to fight off, they turned to the only female of the group and lunged at Kagome. Thinking she was helpless. But when they stepped within her range, Shippo quickly grabbed the other four men and hauled them away as the earlier guards who were pursuing his mother was flung out of the window. Her eyes were a murderous pure black and purple.

The air around her generated purple lightning and crackled dangerously. Promising a painful death to those who appear as threats to her and her pack. Her eyes fell upon the worm that was wriggling away.

Fear struck Grima's face and he was crawling away when Gimli shoved his foot on him. "I'd stay still if I were you." He warned.

Gandalf walked closer to Théoden. "Théoden, son of Thengel, too long have you sat in the Shadow." Closing his eyes and raising his hand, "Hearken to me! I release you… from his spell."

Théoden laughed. "You have no power here, Gandalf the Grey." Gandalf threw his cloak off. He's too dramatic for an old man.Kagome mused.

Théoden was thrown back into his chair by a white light.

"I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound." Gandalf shoved his staff forward which makes Théoden shift in his seat. Kagome turned to watch the lady in white run into the room. Grabbing onto the lady's arm, Kagome stopped her from intervening.

The lady glared at her and was about to backhand her when she met Kagome's cold glare. "You will cease all folly and watch as your king be cured from this evil that has poison him youngin. Or you will die trying to get away from me." she warned, her fangs bared at the lady, causing her to tremble in fear.

A strange voice came out of Théoden. "If I go, Théoden dies."

Gandalf moved closer to Théoden's chair. "You did not kill me, you will not kill him."

"Rohan is mine."

"Be gone."

Kagome gripped the lady harder when Théoden lunged at Gandalf, who thrust his staff again. Théoden slumped down and Kagome's grip loosens, she whispered to the woman, "Go now, and go to his aid." Her menacing voice long gone and replaced with a soothing melody that instantly brought the reaction out of the lady.

Kagome turned her attention elsewhere for a moment when her eyes met Legolas. Who had a longing yet hurt look on his face. She was worried for some reason about what she would do about her feelings and about him. She would need to speak with him sometime soon.

Yes that she will do.

The lady in white stopped Théoden from falling completely to the ground and his face changed from that of an old man to that of a middle aged man. Not a big difference. He looked to the lady in intrigue. "I know your face. Eowyn. Eowyn." Eowyn released the unshed tears that has been pooling for many moons in joy of finally being recognized by her uncle.

"Gandalf." He looked at the white wizard

"Breathe the free air again, my friend." Théoden stood up shakily and his eyes scanned the crowd.

"Dark have been my dreams of late." He admitted.

"That's almost guaranteed when a Dark Wizard possesses you." Kagome suggested. This caused the king to somewhat place his gaze on her, half confused half glaring.

"Your fingers would remember their old strength better if they grasped your sword." Gandalf quickly cut in. Hama (A/N: I think that's the guy's name) stepped forward and offered him his sword. Grabbing the piece of weaponry, Théoden looked happy… until he saw Grima.

While they were busy trying to hack the worm into pieces, Kagome and Shippo went to collect their weapons and looked disinterested at the fate of the worm.

Théoden stomped out after Grima as Kagome turned to the men. "You might want to stop him from doing anything rash."

The most she heard out of the Théoden – Grima conversation was, "Where is Theodred? Where is my son?"

It was then she took up the role to tell him of his son's fate. And by the time she had finished, his face was one of sorrow and despair.

"Fret not Rohan's King. Your son died with honor, fighting against the dark evil. The dead has a place within them, we the living must go on." She spared him no more glance as she turned on her heels with her son in tow.

Leaving the King utterly speechless and unsure what to say.

A/N: Sorry! It's kinda a short chapter.

For those that were wondering who I'll be pairing Kaggy with, well I promise the answer in two more chapters.

Review please
