Sleeping Princess
By Golden Mooncat
Chapter Five: The Deep Sleep
Miko Kaede snapped the reigns on the horses harder causing them to jerk forward
at a faster run. Not happy with how slow they were going she snapped the reigns
harder still until the horses were going at a break neck speed. Finally seeing
the cottage after a few more moments of running Kaede jerked hard on the reigns
and the horses slid to a stop after kicking up dirt and dust as they did.
"Stay." Kaede demanded and ran her feeble little body to where the cottage was,
remembering her conversation with King Sesshomaru who had seen her as she used her
magic to force the Princess up to the highest tower in the palace.
~*~Flashback~*~
"Miko, what are you doing to the Princess?" King Sesshomaru demanded as he saw her
using magic to levitate the sleeping Kagome to the highest tower of the palace.
"King Sesshomaru!" Kaede said and had jumped a bit in surprise wondering what it
was that had caused him to find them, but of course she had forgotten to take into
account that he had his strong sence of smell to guide him to her.
"Miko, answer me." he demanded again, Rin having followed him out hid behind a
cornor, but she knew that her husband smelt her. "Rin, come." he said and she
slowly walked forward, her head bowed in shame at having actually been caught.
"The spell has been fulfilled. I had searched her chambers throughly, I thought
that maybe I could protect Princess Gome." Kaede said, using her habit of calling
the young Princess Gome.
"Gome? As in a commoner of just earlier today?" Rin asked, she had been listening
to Inuyasha and her husband's argument.
"Yes. Why?" the old miko asked, ignoring the look of death being given to her by
the inu youkai King.
"Didn't your brother say he was going to see a Gome?" Rin asked her husband and
realization suddenly hit him.
"Damn him to hell and back." Sesshomaru muttered and Kaede looked a little lost.
"What are ye talking about ye majesties?" she asked softly, knowing one or the
other would have to pay attention to her.
"While we were out for our ride today," Rin started ignoring the look from her
husband, "it seems that my husband and Prince Inuyasha had heard something and
the Prince went to see what could have caused the noise. Upon arriving he had
found that Princess Kagome was being chased by a full wolf youkai that was
not too happy with my cousin. Well, from what I remember, the two had been
talking as he escorted her back to the home where she had been staying, and I
guess they hit it off. When Inuyasha learned of the fact that Princess Kagome
was returning he became angry at how he was being forced to marry someone he
thought he didn't love. I don't think he realized that Gome and Princess Kagome
were one in the same person."
After a few seconds pause, consisting of catching her breath, Queen Rin continued.
"Well, Inuyasha ran off, probably to where you two had been living. Wait, why exactly
is my cousin floating asleep on your magics Miko?" Rin asked, her head tilting to the
side ever so slightly.
"The Miko failed in protecting the Princess, my Queen." Sesshomaru said with a glare at
the old woman.
"Oh dear...Well, we had better get to Inuyasha...Shouldn't we?" the Queen asked of her
husband who nodded and looked sharply at Kaede.
"You will go and fetch my brother. Tell him that Kagome and Gome are one in the same
and that if he wishes to see his love alive and well again than he must come back and
break the spell upon her." the King demanded and Kaede nodded solemly.
"As soon as I get the Princess to the tower where she shall wait." she said but stopped
at the growl she heard in the Kings throat.
"I shall take care of the Princess. You go and fetch my brother. NOW!" he growled and
that is when the old woman ran to the stables and got her horses.
~*~End Flashback~*~
"I hope the Prince doesn't have as bad an attitude as his brother." Kaede muttered to
herself as she swung open the doors to the cottage, only to see that no one was there.
"I am too late...Kikyo got to him before I could..." the old woman sighed in defeat.
"What am I to tell the King's? Tell one that his daughter is in a sleep that only
Prince Inuyasha can break? Then to tell him that his only hope was taken by the same
black Miko who cursed his daughter to begin with?" she asked herself.
Than, thats when the idea came to her. She could...No she didn't want to think of it
until she got back to the Palace.
Running from the small cottage she jumped to her horses and rode off to the Palace once
again. The horses ready to kill her the moment they were away from the reigns. After
they were back at the Palace Kaede freed herself from the horses and ran into the
large building, the whole time muttering her spell.
Once the old Miko reached the top of the highest tower she smiled down at the young
Princess, mind you it was a sad smile. Holding out her arms to the sky at the window
the old woman muttered her spell, the spell to place the whole kingdom into sleep
until the Princess awoke. Once this spell was in place she weakly muttered another spell
to give the Prince Inuyasha a sword with the name Tetsusaiga that would have her soul
inside.
When her spell was cast the old woman fell to the ground where her eyes ever so slowly
closed, and she fell into a deep sleep, her world going black and her life forces stopping.
~*~
Somewhere in a palace where the black Miko Kikyo resided in a Prince with silver white
hair awoke to find he could move, and a sword lay hooked to his side, glowing with a
pulse.
