Ch. 9 -
Victorious Again!
(Disclaimer: I know my chapters are fairly short, but I am still trying. Sorry, you all, who want long chapters. *sigh* Also, when you see these marks, "-= =-," they're the telepathic talking signs.)
Sarolta pulled away from her sister's grasp and looked at her in her emerald hanyou eyes. She smiled bright as she told Kagome to get ready to leave the cold mountains that they had trained upon. Kagome nodded and ran to a nearby cottage to go get her belongings. She ran back to Sarolta, only at a jogging speed, which was only as fast as Inuyasha's running. Wow, she was fast if her jogging speed was as fast as Inuyasha's running. Sarolta took her hand.
"Are you ready to return to where we were at the beginning...?" Sarolta asked Kagome.
"Yes... Yes I am. Ready than ever before!" She exclaimed excitedly. 'Just wait until Inuyasha sees me now, that stupid hanyou,' Kagome thought to herself, evilly, as she looked up to her sister.
Sarolta closed her eyes... And concentrated on her teleporting powers. "Close your eyes, Kagome," she said, calmly. Kagome closed her eyes, too, and relaxed, just like Sarolta was. Kagome smiled, but suddenly felt a rush of energy flow through her, from Sarolta, and felt a sudden rush of power. When Sarolta told her that it was okay to open her eyes, she opened them, and she found herself, standing in the middle of the field that she was once in when she battled Sesshoumaru. She felt that it was colder here, so she hugged her jacket close to her body, and wrapped her tail around her waist to make herself a little warmer.
"Don't worry, Kagome, you'll adapt soon. It's what all, us, half-breeds and demons do." She told Kagome with comfort in her voice.
Kagome simply nodded at her statement.
Sarolta noticed that something was emotionally wrong with Kagome. She could tell by her instincts and the aura of emotion that Kagome gave off. Sarolta took Kagome's hand and turned her so she'd be looking at her.
"Kagome, please tell me what's wrong? You're acting unlike yourself," she asked with concern.
Kagome looked at her, then sort of looked away from her eyes, avoiding eye contact. "Nothing's the matter, really..."
"Kagome, tell me what's wrong."
"Really, nothing's wro -- "
"Kagome! I know something's wrong, now please tell me, or else I'll nag you until you do tell me!"
Kagome sighed heavily. "Oh, all right. I'm still thinking about Inuyasha.... I mean... Why would he still be in love with Kikyo?"
Sarolta shook her head a little bit. "Kagome... Inuyasha fell in love with priestess Kikyo before he met you... And it seems as though his love for her was strong... You almost got through to him, and I congratulate you on that." She sighed a bit. "But don't be surprised if we stumble upon him while he's kissing Kikyo."
Kagome sighed heavily again. "Thanks, Sarolta. Let's go... We need to find those jewel shards before Naraku does...!" She said, gleefully only to hide her true feelings.
Sarolta knew that something was wrong with her, but she just wouldn't say anything. She knew that Kagome was hiding her feelings, but she had decided to let Kagome do what she wants. After all, she is a newborn hanyou...
They continued on down the pathway, in silence. Nothing was said, not even one little squeak, sigh, grunt, or even an, "oomph". Sarolta's red tail swayed behind her, gently, as Kagome's did the same, but under the long kimono with a jacket over it. Kagome looked up suddenly, sniffing at the air.
"What is it?" Sarolta asked, stopped suddenly.
"I smell... Sesshoumaru..." She said, quietly. She knew Sesshoumaru's scent, and sort of liked the way he smelt - cinnamon and spices.
Suddenly, a flash of light, and Sarolta was sent to the ground. She held her stomach, and painfully got up. However, she still continued to clutch her stomach.
"Sarolta!! Are you okay?!" Kagome cried.
"Don't worry about me! Worry about yourself... Remember my rule: don't let your guard down!" Sarolta half-yelled.
Kagome nodded, then waited for that flash of light return. She felt its energy powers swoon around her and come straight towards her. Just before it hit her, Kagome jumped up. She looked up and saw Sesshoumaru using his whip in his carriage. Then she saw the grin on his face. He came down to the ground and lunged at her. Before he could hit her, she jumped over him, as though she was sommer-saulting, landed on his shoulders, grabbed them, then flipped him to his back, throwing him down, hard. He skidded across the ground, debris flying everywhere. Sesshoumaru growled under his breath, feeling what she did, and pulled out his whip, again. But before he could do anything, she ran at him with blinding speed, arrived near him in a second, and grabbed his whip. She threw it to the side, picked him up, and threw him to the ground again. Again, he skidded across the grass, debris flying everywhere. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened when he saw her return next to him, lift up her hand, but before she could do anything, he grabbed her wrist, and flipped her over onto her back. Then he jumped up and kicked her, sky-high. He jumped up into the air, to punch her down, but she suddenly disappeared from his sight and reappeared onto the ground. Sesshoumaru returned to the ground and began to hit at her, only being able to scratch the side of her cheek. This pissed off Kagome. She growled loudly as she grabbed Sesshoumaru's neck, then yelled, "Soul Stealer!" and began to slice at his side, scratching everywhere, from neck and down, making him bleed and become injured more than ever. Once she was done, she threw him across the field and into a nearby tree. She watched him slide down the tree, slowly, while panting at the same time. Then realized that he was unconscious.
Sarolta was amazed at what Kagome had done. Now, Sarolta knew that she had trained Kagome well, and that Kagome knew Sarolta's every move, besides teleportation. She just stood there, watching Kagome carefully, watching her every move, just to make sure she wouldn't get hurt like she almost did last time.
Kagome gasped at what she did to Sesshoumaru. Was she really stronger than he? She jogged to him, and then looked him over. He was bruised, scratched, and unconscious, all at the same time. She kneeled down next to him, still not letting her guard down, and looked him over just a little bit. 'Maybe I should let him stay with us until he's healed...?' Kagome asked herself in her mind.
-= What's going on? =- Sarolta asked Kagome in telepathy.
-= I haven't let my guard down, yet, =- Kagome replied, -= but I want to know, if he's willing, that he can stay with us until he's fully healed under our protection? =-
-= As long as he agrees to it and doesn't deceive us, yes. =- Sarolta replied again.
Kagome smiled.
