Chapter 5:
What do you know?
*Now lets not forget that our poor Inuyasha is ill and Miroku is trying to take care of Shippo and Inuyasha while trying to find Kagome and bring her back to the group. *
Miroku had climbed a tree to look over the forest canopy. He left Shippo with the shell that remained of Inuyasha after the poison had put him comatose for a few days. He was awake now but the poison had Inuyasha so weak and tired that it was difficult to travel long distances that they would have normally covered if Inuyasha hadn't gotten sick in the first place.
"Well, it looks as though this journey is going to take a bit longer then I thought," the monk muttered to himself. He was hoping to get Inuyasha to Lady Kiede so she could fix one of her remedies. The monk climbed down and walked back to camp.
Once back at camp, Miroku found Shippo napping in Inuyasha's lap. Inuyasha on the other hand was sitting against a tree and armed with a wooden boken for defense. He looked a Miroku with a sweaty and almost pitiful gaze as if to say 'damn you for not taking me with you.'
"Sorry. I wasn't planning to be gone so long but if you would like I can fix you some sort of herbal tea and keep you company," Miroku said humorously. Inuyasha didn't find it funny and cringed in disgust. "Sorry that you don't like tea. Will water do?"
Inuyasha nodded and licked his dry and chapped lips. He tried to say something but it exhausted him to even try. He just sat back and watched Miroku pour water from a water bottle that Kagome called a thermos. Then he remembered. 'Kagome! Where is Kagome.'
He must have twitched or something because the kit that slept on his lap shifted and then sat up. Miroku was looking at him with worry. Inuyasha thought that he must have said something out loud or he wouldn't be getting such odd glares.
"Don't worry about Kagome. She uh. went.umm.err," Miroku stumbled.
"Ahead to get lady Kiede. She wanted to make you feel better. You were so ill that it put us back about 20 miles a day. At this rate we'll get there in about two days," Shippo finished, glaring at Miroku as if he had made a bad move. Miroku almost gave away what had really happened to Kagome.
Inuyasha had sensed that the two so-called friends were lying. If he had the strength he would have gotten up and beat the monk until he gave in and told the truth. But with the way things were looking, the thoughts that crossed his mind made him so tired and dazed that he was tempted to go to sleep and leave all this stress.
Miroku handed Inuyasha the cup of water and urged him to drink up. The water rolled sweetly down his dry throat and sat coolly in his stomach. It cooled him off a bit but once it was gone Inuyasha went back to being hot and exhausted.
"You should sleep a bit, Inuyasha. It will do you good," Shippo said, wiping off the beads of sweat from Inuyasha's forehead and chest. Inuyasha closed his eyes and it seemed like seconds that he was asleep.
Sleepily, Kagome felt Sesshoumaru's weight shift on the bed. He had gotten up and left her in the room by herself. The sounds of the curtains flapping against the glass on the french doors that lead to the balcony, was the only sound that kept her in reality.
Slowly she rose and got herself dressed in a simple black kimono decorated in thin red dragons. She slipped into some small wooden sandals that clacked on the marble floors loudly. She decided that she would run barefooted instead of the loud shoes.
Kagome walked herself out into the hallway and picked a direction to walk in. She chose and walked around looking.
The halls were decorated with paintings and wall murals. Some were of Samurai and others of legendary dragons. Some even had nice claming natural scenes on them. She was impressed with all the well-done artwork. She realized that he had good taste.
She had found a stairway while she was looking around. She went down it and found herself in a big entryway. Only problem was that there was no door.
"There will be no doors unless I want one. At my will and at my will only will a door going out side appear. Other then that you are trapped here," HE said, descending down the stairs to her.
Sesshoumaru walked up in front of her. He took her hand and didn't take his eyes off hers. As if she were a marionette, she moved to his will. He led her into a room that had a large table and twenty some wooden chairs to go with it. On the table there was a plate and a cup filled with a sweet berry juice. The plate however was empty.
He sat Kagome down in front of the plate and pushed her chair in for her. She sat delicately at the table. When Sesshoumaru snapped his fingers the plate was filled with food that could suit any kings appetite.
She looked at the food almost hesitant to eat it. Gingerly, Kagome took a piece of the roll and placed it in her mouth. It was soft as though it had been freshly made. It even sort of reminded her of home. 'Home.'
"Go ahead and eat all you like. There is plenty," Sesshoumaru said, sitting down next to Kagome. He had made a goblet of wine appear before him in the same way that he made the food appear in front of her.
Kagome sat in the chair quietly and ate the grapes and cheese and strawberries that were on her plate. Sesshoumaru sat next to her and slowly circled the rim of his goblet with his right middle finger while his head rested on his left fist. He watched her tentatively as she ate.
Finally when she was finished, Kagome sighed lightly and sat back from her upright and stiff position that she held through out the meal. Sesshoumaru the tenseness from Kagome drain away. She relaxed and found herself calmly laying back and staring at the windows. A cool breeze brushed by the opening and pushed the tiny strands of free hair back. It felt good to not have to worry about whether she was in the same room as a man that couldn't be trusted.
"So, about our proposition? Have you decided whether you are going to help me get the tetsuaigia," He asked her in a manner that made his voice purr. Kagome shifted and faced Sesshoumaru. She looked at him with no emotion and dull blank eyes. A smile evaded his lips.
"What have you done to me, you bastard," Kagome weakly spat. Sesshoumaru had something put in the drink, Kagome thought, He wants me to agree no matter what. Kagome thought of Inuyasha, but her thoughts were quickly erased and replaced with Sesshoumaru's voice hauntingly echoing 'follow me, Kagome. Follow me.'
Kagome swallowed and tried to rise out of her chair but her body wouldn't respond. Her mind panicked but her body did nothing but blankly stare into Sesshoumaru's eyes. Kagome was a prisoner in her own body. It made her uncomfortable.
The voices in her head stopped and Sesshoumaru began to talk to her.
"Kagome, sweet and precious little Kagome. I didn't want to do this but it was the only way to get you to play by my rules. You can't and won't be able to move your body unless I tell you to. You are conscious of everything going on but you can't stop it. Kagome, you were bound to do what I wanted you to do, whether it was of free will or not. By all means, I didn't want to do this to you but you brought it upon your self by telling me no," Sesshoumaru said. He laughed and then told her to stand. Kagome's mind tried to fight but her body didn't will to her thoughts.
'Trapped,' she thought, 'Trapped like a dog.'
