Five Jewels, Two Souls, One Destiny by Heather Christi
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!
I have updated FATEFUL CURSE: CHAPTER 8 so GO READ IT!! Do you know this story will not reach a plot until after I defeat Naraku in chapter 11 or 12? In chapter 12 or 13 the plot will be made. That is so sad. This story is going to be huge! VERY HUGE AND LONG! Just to giving you people the truth. Alright, onto chapter whatever this is.
::thoughts:: ENJOY!
{----{Chapter Seven: Wrong Place at the Wrong Time}----}
"So you are Inuyasha's wench," stated the demon Lord of the Western Lands.
Kagome turned around and faced the owner of the cold and monotone voice. The young lord was standing tall and proud. His beautiful silver hair flowed softly down his powerful back. His fair skin was flawless and perfect except for the crescent moon shape on his forehead and the two maroon stripes on each side of his cheeks. His golden amber eyes were shining but bare of all emotions. His pink lips were set in a straight line and he was the vision of perfection and grace. But Kagome only saw the vision of Inuyasha in Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru stood only a few feet away from the Bone Eater's Well and Kagome. ::How did he know I was here? Does he know my secret and where I come from?:: Sesshomaru just stared at her in expectancy but Kagome didn't see anything reflected in his amber eyes. She just looked at him blankly but she was inwardly surprised at seeing him here with her. ::Maybe he wants to know where Inuyasha is so he can battle him out. Can he smell Inuyasha's scent on me?::
"Inuyasha isn't here Sesshomaru," Kagome stated to the youkai lord near her.
"I can see that much wench," Sesshomaru answered back once again in his emotionless monotone voice. He walked forward to her gracefully and was standing too close for comfort in front of her. Kagome blushed and tried to back away from the youkai lord but the well's wooden edge prevented her from her goal. "Another's scent is present on you. You reek of their disgusting male *human* scent," Sesshomaru spoke with slight bitterness in his voice, which Kagome was surprised to hear emotion in his once emotionless tone.
Everyone knew of Sesshomaru's hatred towards humans. The Lord of the Western Lands despised them all but that still didn't explain why he was standing too close to Kagome. The youkai lord sensed her uncomfortable and he smirked as he smelt her fear. He stepped back away from her after a moment and noticed the number of wounds present on her body. He noted the one on her cheek and the deep gash on her right shoulder. There was a mark on the connection of her neck and shoulder. Sesshomaru noted this and knew what the marking meant, although he was sure that Kagome had no clue of the mark. ::Let her find out on her own. Although, it would be most amusing to see the look on her face about the news of the marking::
"What is it that you want Sesshomaru?" Kagome said in a weak voice that she was surprised to find that it was, in fact, her voice.
"That matter does not concern you but if you must know, I am taking you prisoner," Sesshomaru spoke calmly. He could smell the fear coating Kagome's small frame and he had to fight the urge to smirk at her fright. Although she was scared she managed to ask the simple question with an answer fairly obvious.
"Why? Why do you need me?" She asked in a timid and low voice.
"That does not need concern the likes of you but if you wish not to come with me willingly, you will eternally regret that mistake," Sesshomaru calmly threatened her.
Kagome took a gulp in her throat and started to go into a stage of panic. ::Okay, what do I do. What do I do. What do I do. Inuyasha!! Damn you! Save me or something. Okay, don't panic. Take a deep breath and think things out:: Kagome opened her mouth slightly and held it in for a second before releasing her pent-up energy and panic. ::I know I can't make a run to the forest. Sesshomaru is just to fast for me. Maybe I should try to go back threw the well. No! He'd be curious to what happened to me and possibly destroy it. I couldn't bare that! Maybe I could call out and someone could save me or maybe I could.:: Her thoughts continued
Sesshomaru watched a range of emotions cross her face. First it was thoughtful and then it went to defeat. Once again she got thoughtful but then horror and despair crossed her features. Then she was back to thoughtful and hopeful again. She was a very strange wench and she didn't dress properly either. She looked like a trollop with that short immodest clothing of hers. It showed way too much for a wench of her class and status but then again, maybe it suited her.
::Maybe I could just let him take me. NO! I won't give up! He won't take me:: Without another thought, Kagome dashed past Sesshomaru while he was stuck in his thoughts. ::Almost into the forest. A few more steps. Three. Two. One. And.:: A hand snatched the back of her shirt and dragged her back to the well.
"You do not listen to warnings when they are given. Maybe this shall teach you." Sesshomaru spoke right before he hit Kagome on the back of her neck, knocking her into the dark unknown world of unconsciousness.
Kagome's vision was fading to blackness as she felt the pain shot from her neck up to her head, making her lightheaded and very fuzzy feeling. She tried to hang on to life and stable herself but the last thing she saw was silvery blue hair and the tall grass as she fell.
Sesshomaru caught Kagome's body before she hit the ground and he picked her up the best he could with his one arm bridal style, cradling her into his chest. She subconsciously snuggled up to the warmth his body brought. He looked down at the girl in his arm with disgust before he turned away from the Bone Eater's Well and walked into the deep forest towards his camp where his 'companions' were located.
The youkai lord had suddenly caught a whiff of Kagome's scent earlier while he was walking towards his western lands with happy optimistic Rin and his lowly toad demon servant, Jaken. He left Rin to collect a few logs of firewood for their camp and Jaken to watch her, but there was no doubt that he was trying to find an excuse to abuse her in one way or another. He was such a nuisance but he was helpful when his services were needed.
Sesshomaru finally reached the opening into a small clearing in the forest where Rin was sitting near a burning fire-pit that was filled with fresh logs from the rugged forest. The youkai lord could smell the burning forest wood with its pine scent and black lung-filling smoke. He gracefully took a few steps forward and was greeted by a very happy and hyper little black-haired girl.
"Sesshomaru-sama! You are back!" The little girl named Rin was about to hug demon lord's leg but then she noticed another person in his arm. "Sesshomaru-sama! Who is that you have with you? Can I see?" She started jumping up and down trying to get high enough to see what he was carrying.
"Rin, calm down," he said calmly. Immediately she stopped bouncing but her happiness and joyous spirit was shining in her light brown eyes. Sesshomaru walked over to the fire-pit and laid Kagome down enough for her body to feel the warmth. He could feel the heat rise onto his skin. Sesshomaru stared down at girl thinking about ways to persuade her to stay without always having to knock her unconscious.
"Sesshomaru-sama," Rin was kneeling beside the girl's body. "Who is this lady? She's so pretty." She ran her little hands through Kagome's long raven hair feeling the texture of its strands.
"This going to be with us for a while," he stated as though that was supposed to explain everything. Rin took that as an answer and marveled at the new 'addition' to their party. She suddenly smiled and jumped up, spinning around in little circles making herself dizzy.
"I will have someone to play with! Thank you Sesshomaru-sama! I'll go pick some pretty flowers for you!" She ran off into the forest, searching for some flowers for her beloved Sesshomaru-sama.
The young youkai Lord of the Western Lands sat down at the trunk of an old willowing pine tree. The sun was barely up in the sky this early morning and it was a little chilly outside with cool temperature and the light breeze sweeping across the forever growing forest. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and listened to all the noises around him. He could hear the wind, a tiny stream flowing fresh spring water nearby, and the crackling of the newly-made fire. He could smell the smoky embers and the light scent of lavender and camomile. He could feel the fresh dewy grass beneath him and the bark of the tree behind his muscular back.
He then smelled the scent of cherry blossoms and rainbows. No one knew that rain, thunder, lightning, rainbows and other stuff like that had scents. They did and Rin was just the one who smelled like rainbows. It was a sweet scent unlike anything else. It was sweet and gentle in its own unique way.
"Sesshomaru-sama! Here are the flowers!" The youkai lord opened his amber eyes and a bouquet of purple wildflowers, bright yellow honeysuckles and white baby's breath were arranged and blended beautifully together. With all their scents mixed, he felt his nose begin to tingle with a weird sensation. The Lord of the Western Lands had his first sneeze.
"Bless you," replied a weak voice.
Sesshomaru turned his gaze back to the fire-pit where his half- brother's wench was lying near. She was rubbing her neck and trying to sit in an upright position. Kagome winced as she touched the newly damaged place that pained her. It seemed she might have a bruise where Sesshomaru had hit her. ::Why today of all days? First Inuyasha, then Meiwaku, and now I have Sesshomaru to deal with! Who's next?! Koga?! This is just NOT my day:: She shook her head with distraught.
"What did you say wench?" Sesshomaru spoke. Kagome turned and faced him, annoyance and anger apparent on her face and in her chocolate brown eyes.
"I said 'bless you'. You say that when someone sneezes. It is just polite," she replied to Sesshomaru. "Not that you deserve it anyway," Kagome mumbled under her breath, unaware that he had heard her quite clearly with his advanced demon hearing senses. Luckily he decided to let that comment slide because he didn't want Rin to see anything that shouldn't be seen for a young girl her age.
"Bless you Sesshomaru-sama!" The happy Rin danced over to where Kagome was sitting, examining her. She danced and twirled around Kagome for a while before she stopped. Rin sat down in front of Kagome and just stared at her straight into her chocolate brown eyes with her own light brown eyes. Kagome leaned back a little to make room for personal space but Rin just leaned closer. "Who are you?" Rin spoke with a big smile on her cheery face.
"I am Kagome, little one. Who are you?" Rin laughed when Kagome called her 'little one'.
"My name is Rin and I travel with Sesshomaru-sama. He rescued me from wolves and he saved me," Rin replied with still cheery face. Kagome looked shocked at Rin's statement. She looked over to Sesshomaru leaning against the pine tree with an impassive look on his elegant face. The youkai lord caught her look and held her gaze while she examined him. ::He rescued a human?! I thought he hated humans. Why would he save a human girl and then travel with her?::
"Rin, go play in the forest and come back in a few minutes," Sesshomaru interrupted her racing thoughts, still keeping his gaze connected with Kagome's.
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama!" The little black-haired girl ran off into the woods singing about grasshoppers and frogs like Jaken. After she was gone and out of sight, Sesshomaru continued to stare into Kagome's chocolate brown eyes. She wanted to look away but no matter what she tried, she couldn't. It was as if she was petrified on the spot and couldn't move an inch. Of course, the only exception was her mouth.
"What do you want with me Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked as bravely as she could.
Sesshomaru smirked because a few moments ago she had feared him but now she was acting brave. This seemed to amuse him. Kagome got a little nervous when she noticed him smirking at her. She gulped loudly. "I merely am going to use you for my advantage. I'm trading you for the Tetsusaiga."
