Sweet Choco: Hey again! Its mwa! For all you that just LOVE my singing, you'll have to wait for next time, because its 12:30 and I'm not listening to music. Sorry! On with Chapter 9 (the actual one, I've decided the Questions one isn't a chapter.)
***
I slept well that night. My body comfortable in the bed, and my mind at peace. I was thinking of the days events, but I really didn't care that much anymore about them. What was I thinking about that kiss? It really was nothing, if you think about it. But, maybe to me it was something. Maybe Sesshomaru was something to me, too. But it's not like he cares, he never has and never will.
Right now all I should be worrying about is whether or not we're going to kick Changi's butt. Tenshi and her are still alive, me and Sesshomaru know this, but does that mean Tenshi will help us? I really hope so. But, sometimes I wish Changi would live forever, so Sesshomaru would stay with m forever. But really, would he? WHY DO I CARE!? I shouldn't be thinking this stuff, stop right now Kagome! Think other stuff, think of… of… Sota! Oh poor Sota! Dear God, I hope he's ok. Pull through there Sota! I'll rescue you once Sesshomaru leaves.
And there my mind goes, drifting off to him. Sesshomaru and I were walking around the forest again, looking for any signs off Changi or Tenshi. I was getting kind of bored, and nearly fell over from tiredness. I said nearly, mind you. Suddenly trees began rustling, and I almost jumped out of my skin (impossible, but a good phrase for right now.) I grabbed Sesshomaru's arm, and he looked down at me but didn't push me away.
"Hold on tight." A voice echoed, "Maybe your to scared to face me?" I looked around for the owner of the face, but I couldn't see anyone. It was a child's voice, calm and yet kind of teasing like.
"Look down at your partner, Sesshomaru; you have degraded yourself to partner with a girl scared of me." The voice laughed, and I let go of Sesshomarus arm stepping back. Sesshomaru smirked, and straightened his used to be 'ready to fight' stance.
"Akemi, you going to come out? Stop playing games." Sesshomaru said, his smirk gone and an angered expression was on his face. (AN: in other words, his eyebrows pointed down, and a pout on his lips.) A small little green haired girl stood feet before me, her eyes were large and emerald colored. She wore a smile, and looked at Sesshomaru.
"Konichiwa Sesshomaru." She nodded at him, and then turned to me, "Konichiwa Kagome." She nodded her head at me to, then when she brought it back up she was smiling.
"What do you want, Akemi?" Sesshomaru asked, he seemed bored by the fact that she was there. Her old smile gone, and an evil smile now appeared. She began circling me and Sesshomaru.
"Changi and Tenshi are not in this forest, Sesshomaru. They are alive, yes, but not here. They fight well, indeed. But are you strong enough to fight Changi? For the sake of Tenshi or for yourself? You maybe able to trick Kagome with your stupid comments, but you cannot with me. I know you knew Tenshi, now don't play around. You know what I want, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru let out a low growl, and all I could do was look around confused and dumbfounded. 1. Why is Sesshomaru talking to a small little girl? 2. He was lying when he said he didn't know Tenshi? 3. What *DOES* she want? I waited for someone to answer my questions. It seemed Sesshomaru was going to explain.
"This is Akemi." We've passed that Sesshomaru, "She's an old spy for me. I say old because I fired her when she started getting me into much trouble. I lied about Tenshi because I didn't want you to know I knew her, I used to be her 'friend'. Well, sort of. She would just talk to me, and I'd reply here and there." He smirked, "And Akemi wants to kill Changi for killing her mother. I suppose you," he nodded at Akemi, "Want me to kill Changi for you?"
"Why not in the least, Sesshomaru, I want Tenshi to kill Changi. I want Tenshi too, because Tenshi would make it quick. That way, Changi is sure to die and not escape." Akemi explained, and now a few things pieced together.
I didn't know what else to do, so I stood there as Akemi and Sesshomaru talked about the last few times they had seen Changi and Tenshi. Both described the incredible battles, the screams of pain, and the dashing through the air. It caught my attention now and then, but it wasn't that fun to listen to. Sesshomaru didn't emphasize anything, so it was like listening to the most exciting story from the most boring person. I yawned then out of boredom, and because I was a little tired. Akemi then choose this time to talk, and I completely blocked her out. Not to be rude to her, but I just didn't want to hear about Changi and Tenshi right now.
I looked around the forest we are in, no longer scared at all. Why wasn't I scared anymore? Because now I know that Changi and Tenshi aren't in here, although if Tenshi were in here I wouldn't be scared in the least. My mind drifted off to different subjects, keeping in mind to not think of anything involving Sesshomaru.
I thought back to the day Sota had gone unconscious, the day we shared that dance. The music playing was a soft sweet lullaby like song. If it wasn't for the fact that I was dancing, I would have probably lie down and fell asleep. Sota had one of those quirky smiles on, he seemed so peaceful. Maybe it was the after math of the attack, or maybe it was just the song. Or maybe it was something else that made him so happy, but to tell the truth I was happy too. I love him with all my heart, and was so happy to have him with me. Now that I think back to it, sometimes I wish he would wake up so we could dance again.
But after a few minutes of swiftly moving across the floor, his smile faded and he seemed scared. His eyes no longer shined, but grew wide in fear. I called out to him, and he didn't answer. He didn't even move when I called out, he didn't even look at me. Either he was deliberately doing this, or he really was fainting. Slowly his body dropped to the ground. I tried to shake him awake, but he wouldn't open his eyes. I screamed and ran over to my mom's house.
I banged on the door, and my mother answered. She saw Sota in my answers, and we rushed to the well, were my mother, me, and Sota traveled back. (AN: As I have said before, Inu Yasha left a small piece of the Shikon no Tama with Kagome.) We rushed him to the hospital, where they explained it all. All they could, at least. They didn't understand the scars on his back, or why he had fainted. All I knew at the time was he wasn't going to wake up. I could feel the tears on my eyes, and someone was calling me.
"KAGOME!" Sesshomaru yelled. I blinked and looked at him surprised.
"WHAT!?" I yelled back, and Akemi just giggled.
"Why don't you pay attention rather then start day dreaming!" Sesshomaru yelled, looking away from me.
"hehe, now Sesshomaru. Be nice to Kagome, we need her you know, as bait." Akemi said, and I stared dumbfounded at both. Bait!?
"Hai." Sesshomaru answered, and I looked from him to her, back and forth again. What do you guys mean bait!?
"What do you mean bait?!?" I yelled, obviously yelling was the only way I'm going to talk for now.
"Calm down Kagome." Akemi cooed, "Listen up. Tenshi left a stone with you. A stone so she could track you down again, because they need you and Sesshomaru. Changi wants the Shikon no Tama piece, and to kill you and Sesshomaru. Tenshi wants to kill Changi. Got it? Now, were going to put you in the other forest. You'll be a sort of bait, and when they come Sesshomaru will jump down from a high tree and attacks Changi were there will be an all out battle. Got it? Good, bye!"
She hopped up onto a low hanging limb, and ran off. I blinked in confusion, but Sesshomaru pulled me off into the other forest. It's time to battle! YAY!! *Ahem* After Sesshomaru positioned himself in the tree tops, I just stood there.
*five minutes later*
Ok well, there's a lovely patch of mud on the floor. Want me to describe it? I've been staring at it for 5 minutes, I know it inside out. Yes, well there's a small little lump on the right…
*3 minutes later*
The lump next to it is… hey is that Sesshomaru snoring?...
*6 minutes later*
*brushes hair into face… You'll die in seven days.*
*1 minute later*
I think I heard the bushes rustling. Oh God! Ruuuun! RUUUN! RUUUUUN!
*1 second later*
Righto Cheerio, mate! The bushes did rustle ova dere matey! Aye, I think I saw land without mud, mate!
*3 seconds later*
Ok now I really heard something and its scaring me. I looked around the bushes for a few seconds, before looking up at Sesshomaru who had heard it to and was in fighting stance. I looked around cautiously, and then I heard it again.
"Arg!" A voice hollered out and Changi jumped out of the bushes, Tenshi gripping her neck and the rolled on the ground. Mud covered their faces, their clothes drenched in water and mud. Blood was on their legs, their faces, and their whole body.
"Dang it all!" Changi yelled, kicking Tenshi off of her so she could jump up. She began to fall down, but Sesshomaru jumped down to and gripped onto Changi's back bringing her down. Three against one, its fair right? I too jumped onto Changi, only to be clawed right on my left cheek. A deep gush and almost made me cry but I had to be strong. I threw a punch and hit Sesshomaru in the face, and he growled at me.
Tenshi was watching us roll around in the mud, throwing punches and clawing each other. My left cheek stung as the blood mixed with the mud. Rain began to fall, but I ignored it all. Sesshomaru clawed Changi in the stomach, and that's when she flew up into the air, gripping the highest up branch she could. She swung herself over it so she sat on the branch. Sesshomaru jumped up to, and Changi flew down. Both had their claws out and got each other in the face. Changi landed on all fours on the ground, and Sesshomaru flew up into the tree. What a switch. Tenshi flew up, not as high up as Sesshomaru but on purpose. When Sesshomaru and Changi jumped up/down she'd jump on Changi bringing her to the ground.
See how smart I am? Sesshomaru then jumped down, and Changi flew up. The minute they touched, Tenshi flew up a small bit gripping onto Changi with her claws and brought her down into the mud hard.
"OW!" Changi hollered out. I could tell by the expression on her face (Eyes squinting, mouth clamped shut) that she was in much pain. But she wouldn't give up. She stood up, put her hands together and muttered something. Her hands were in a gun shape, and she aimed them at me! AT ME!? OMG OMG OMG! What do I do!? I stood there, and then bam! A large ray of black hit me, throwing me back 5 feet and I hit the tree. I grimaced as a quick sharp pain went through my body. I fell down to the ground, unconscious.
**No Ones POV**
Sesshomaru grabbed Changi's arm to late to move the hit. Kagome fell down. Her eyes were closed, and Sesshomaru stared at her as if expecting her to just wake up. She never even moved. He turned back to Changi.
"It's time for you to die, Changi."
Sweet Choco: Better? Good? Fine? Horrible? I vote answer: c.Fine. I hope it was fine ^_^ Bye!! Till next time, Sweet Choco.
