Chapter 2: Every little thing she does is magic
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters. Wish I did though!
Rating: PG-13
The tears flowed, damping the beautiful gold silk she lay sprawled upon. She had held up strong while in the presence of the hostile youkai, but she could no longer. 'Shippo' she thought of the young kitsune, confused and lost. She took it upon herself to make sure that she was there for the pup, but she couldn't do that now, and it killed her. 'Sango, Miroku' who would keep the two from fighting? Or make them realize that they were so right for one another? Who would Sango girl talk with when it was late at night? And who would keep the hentai monk at bay?
Then she thought of him, his name seemed to almost whisper in the wind, 'Inuyasha'. She pictured him brooding in his tree, his long silver hair flowing, scowling at the moon as he always did. She thought of the times she and he had fought, all the times she had 'sat' him, and all the times that he had risked his very life to save her. She hoped that he would try and save her now, that he would come to her rescue.
Finally, it was as if Kagome's soul had left her to see herself as the pathetic self she was. She could almost hear Inuyasha's voice 'Try and escape you stupid wench! What are you sitting there crying for! You've never listened to anyone before why start now!' she realized that he was probably right. She couldn't just accept her fate, she at least had to try and save herself, she owed it to Inuyasha and her friends, for all the times they had saved her.
She tried at all the windows, but each time she jumped out, she found herself back in the room," enchanted!" she swore in frustration. She looked up at the ceiling; there was no sign of escape, and no way for her to reach it in the first place.
Suddenly the door opened, and the familiar small toad youkai cam into view," It is dinner time, the master wishes you to follow me,"
'This is my chance to escape' she thought," I'm coming," she feigned a smile as she followed the toad.
She waited until she had followed him a couple steps, she reached out and grabbed one of the flamed torches and hit the youkai on the head with it. She waited awhile, to make sure that he wasn't dead and then ran. She ran until she came to a door at the end of the hall 'This must be the exit' she thought.
"Sit," she gasped as she viewed what was inside, Sesshoumaru and a little girl were sitting at a long dining table.
She tried to turn around, but Jaken was back, obviously extremely angered. She had no options; she cursed herself, she had lost the only chance of escaping. Jaken would probably report to Sesshoumaru about her attempt to escape, and then there would be no way Sesshoumaru would let her out of his sight.
"Did you not hear me human? SIT!" he commanded
She waited a few seconds, almost to prove that she wasn't Inuyasha, she was testing his patience and she knew it. She took a seat next to the little girl who smiled at her, and was about to speak before Sesshoumaru spoke first.
"I know of your futile attempt to escape wench," he looked at her sternly, his eyes almost warning her," Did you honestly believe that you could escape me? I could hear you leaving your room, I could smell you coming, I could feel your desperation to escape, I could see your tears,"
She glared at him, eyes of hatred never leaving him. But she said nothing. It was almost as if she was telling him that she did not deserve for her to talk to him.
"I see, know and feel everything human. Know that," he said, returning to his meal.
"How can you dare say that you feel?" she said calmly.
Sesshoumaru looked up at her, she had questioned his authority," Know your place wench, I am growing intolerably impatient with you,"
"I know very well what my place is and what I am capable of. But you do not Sesshoumaru, you say that you feel, but I do not agree. You are not capable of feeling, physical feeling yes. But emotionally you are handicapped,"
Sesshoumaru dropped the hashi in his hands," Emotions are weaknesses, and I Sesshoumaru Lord of the Western Lands have none. I do not desire emotions, they are beneath me,"
"Oh right! Cause everything is beneath the great and might Lord of the Western Lands right?" she mocked.
He looked at her, she had been in his presence less than 10 minutes and she was already pushing every button in his body. With every statement he made she would have a rebuttal. For every intimidating look he shot at her, she returned one right back. And he, Lord Sesshoumaru, to whom many strong youkai have caved, was not accustomed to this. But he had to behave; she would never fall in love with him if he continued to berate her 'though she fell for that half-breed, who did not often show her respect'
"Eat, you shall starve," he said, trying to calm his voice
Kagome rolled her eyes," And why would you care?"
" Do I need a reasoning to care?" he asked.
Kagome looked at him 'I am soooo not falling for any trap that this over grown mutt has for me'," Yes, I believe you have contradicted yourself. First you say you have no feelings, but now you say you care, caring is a feeling, for your information,"
'Damn this insolent girl!' he cursed silently to himself. She was right. And he, the mighty Lord Sesshoumaru was wrong. This was not how things were supposed to operate in his home," I have summoned two youkai to watch over you," he said changing the subject.
"I do not need someone to take care of me," she stated proudly.
"Who said that they were to come and take care of you? In fact," he said smirking," I'll allow them to discipline you as they see fit,"
"How dare you!" to say the least Kagome was furious. She stood up and threw her napkin down," I've had enough of you, you overgrown poodle!" and with that she stomped out.
"Poodle? Sesshoumaru-sama is a poodle! Poodle! Poodle!" the young girl giggled profusely
"Rin" the youkai lord turned to her slowly," Go and follow her, make sure she stays in the castle ok?"
"Anything for you Sesshoumaru-sama!" she chirped happily, trying to reach her short arms around his broad shoulders.
Before she left the rook Sesshoumaru called out," Oh and Rin, find out what, what a poodle is,"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~ ~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~~
'I can't believe this guy.well he's definitely Inuyasha's brother all right. Treating his so called 'property' like trash and then expecting them to abide and respect everything that comes out of his mouth!' Kagome growled in frustration as she continued to find a way out.
"Kagome-neechan!" called a high joyous voice," Wait for Rin! Wait for Rin!"
Kagome turned around to find a little girl, about knee-high stop in front of her. Her gapped-toothed smile wide, and her face flushed and breathless from running," Hello, what are doing here away from Sesshoumaru?"
"Sesshoumaru-sama said to go and watch over you," she stated," You made Sesshoumaru-sama very unhappy," she said frowning, her big eyes dropping.
"I'm sorry Rin," Kagome said softly," But I don't think that there is much that does make him happy,"
Rin pulled on Kagome's hand, signaling her to follow," You made Rin, very scared tonight Kagome-neechan,"
Kagome tried to stop the girl from pulling her, knowing very well that the girl was pulling her back to her quarters," Gomen, Rin... I didn't mean to fight with Sesshoumaru in front of you like that,"
Rin looked up at smiled at her, she reminded Kagome much like Shippo. Full of such happiness and innocence, making even one so tainted by the evils of the world feel as if all that existed was goodness.
"Rin is so happy that Kagome-neechan is here! Now you can play with Rin, you want to play with Rin don't you Kagome-neechan?" her eyes asked pleadingly.
'How can I refuse?' Kagome thought as she smiled down at the young girl," Yes I do want that as well,"
"Yay! Rin has never had anyone to play with before. Well..besides Jaken, but he's so mean to Rin and he never wants to play," the little girl pouted.
Kagome laughed as she pictured the toad youkai playing in the fields with flowers in his ears," That does not surprise me," 'Why is this cute little girl full of happiness and love here with a beast like Sesshoumaru?' Kagome had been told by Inuyasha the story about how Rin came to live with Sesshoumaru, but why Rin stayed and even, dare she say it, loved him was something totally oblivious to Kagome
"And Sesshoumaru-sama said that he even brought playmates for you! So that means that Rin will have-" she began to count on her fingers," one-two- THREE, Rin will have three people to play with!" the girl shouted jumping up and down
Kagome frowned," Rin, who are these 'playmates' that Sesshoumaru is bringing me?" she asked.
The little girl replied simply while skipping in a circle," Sesshoumaru- sama didn't actually tell Rin, but I remember him telling Jaken something about brothers and, and, and thunder! Yeah that's what Rin heard, thunder brothers!"
Kagome gasped," It couldn't be,"
~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~ *~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~~*~*
"I miss the way she walked," Shippo cried as he and the rest of gang walked towards the Western Lands.
"She walked too slow!" Inuyasha spat. He blamed himself for Kagome getting kidnapped, she was his responsibility, she was his. He was supposed to protect from all evils, and he had failed, to his older brother no less. Needless to say he would not show his concern, guilt, or pain to the rest of the group. He would not show how much he really did care for Kagome.
" I miss how she always brought us back candy," Shippo continued to wail
"Feh, maybe that's why her bag was also so damn heavy!" Inuyasha growled at the young kitusne but the fox still went on.
"And how she always smelled so nice,"
"She did not! No human smells good," he knew this was a lie. He still faintly remember the sweet smell of cherry blossoms and lilacs that seemed to just pour out of her silky hair, and the soft scent of spring water and wild flowers that clung to her body like a second skin. He would've gave anything to smell that scent again.
"How she sang to us when we couldn't sleep," The kitsune and the rest of the gang sighed as they remembered her heavenly voice that seemed to hypnotize even the wind.
"You call that singing? It sounded more like a dying animal to me," but he too remembered sitting in his tree, and hearing her lovely notes flow through the branches and he remembered seeing even the leaves swaying to her melody.
"But most of all, I miss the way she loved all of us," With this the young fox began into a terrible fit of tears, Sango hugged him gently, some of her tears mingling with his. Miroku turned away for a moment, allowing himself as well to express the pain of losing Kagome.
And even Inuyasha, could not say a word otherwise.
