A/N- Ok due to my own guilty conscious and some major chewing out from my
best friend I decided that making one huge update wouldn't be fair to my
loyal reviewers and this way I would have more time to make the story
better and such so here's chapter nine.
Disclaimer - Yeah like I really need to do this..but for the sake of technicalities I don't own InuYasha and co.
Tears Of Light
Ch. 9 Jaken learns his place and she went with who!?
Kagome watched the sunrise and marveled at its beauty. It was one thing her time defiantly didn't have anymore. Yes there was still sunrise's but it was darkened by polluted air and sky rises. Her gaze shifted to Shippou and Rin who were beside her on Ah and Un. They were asleep, sleeping peacefully as all pups do. They were flying over the western land and she watching the sun rise. Sesshoumaru was flying next to them with Jaken on his cloud thing. Sesshoumaru had not slept and neither had Kagome. Becoming youkai had its advantages, like not needing to sleep. (Yes she could go to sleep but it wasn't necessary) Glancing at Sesshoumaru she saw him just as he had been all night. Standing tall and regal looking ahead with that unreadable face of his. Sesshoumaru looked at her and realizing that she had been staring at him looked away blushing.
"Gomen, Sesshoumaru-sama" mumbled a very embarrassed Kagome (A/N- Sry had to throw in the 'sama' thing. I love that a little late to start using it though) Sesshoumaru nodded and faced strait ahead again.
"Sesshoumaru..umm how far away is you home yet? We've traveled quiet a ways already" Kagome wanted to sound more confident but she was still slightly embarrassed and it came out hesitant.
Not even looking over at the new tai-youkai he answered her. "Yes, we're here"
With that Ah-Un started descending. Turning to see what Sesshoumaru meant she turned to face forward again. The sight in front of her made her breath catch. It was beautiful. The castle was breath taking. Four towers on each of the corners. The fifth and largest tower was in the center of the four, rising high above the others, with an elegantly slanted roof. The castle itself seemed to have a cold elegance to it yet the beauty of it was amazing. It's elegance only enhanced by the early morning suns rays of light.
Slipping off Ah-Un fallowed by two sleepy children she walked to the castle gates. "This is incredible." Kagome said this so softly Sesshoumaru barley even heard it, none the less he did though.
"Is it really?" Sesshoumaru asked startling Kagome. Her startled eyes staring into Sesshoumaru's cold amber ones.
"No.It's just so beautiful" Her gaze returning to the castle before her.
"Jake"
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama"
"Show Lady Kagome where she shall be staying for the time being"
Hai m'lord, this way if you would Lady Kagome" Giving a low bow to Kagome. Kagome gave the toad a brief nod, allowing a small smirk to cross her face. Jakens attitude had changed dramatically in on a for night letting her smirk widen as she remembered his sudden change.
~Flashback~
With Kagome's new hearing capabilities she was able to hear things that as a human she could not. Such as Jaken's muttering. He was grumbling and insulting her in-general. She had ignored the toad for the most part. During lunch Sesshoumaru had ordered Jaken to make lunch for her and the children.
"Hai m'lord" Jaken replied promptly walk towards the woods to find wood. Kagome wasn't paying attention but heard on phrase that made her blood boil and her eyes tinge red. 'Useless wench' She didn't know why this bothered her but something inside her wouldn't allow such a blow to her pride.
Without any warning Kagome had thrown Jaken into a tree with her daggers against his throat. Her daggers were in an x against his throat. Kagome was breathing heavily and her eyes red, after a moment she regained control but did not remove her daggers.
"If you ever insult me or the pups again. It'll be your life and I'll make it so not even tensiaga can bring you back" Her voice was ice cold and eerily calm " Do you understand?" The now pale toad gave a now slightly calmer Kagome a meek nod. Dropping the toad youkai un-ceremoniously to the ground. Turning she walked back towards the now shell-shocked group.with the exception of Sesshoumaru who was watching this with interest.she paused. She turned her head just enough to see Jaken "Oh and Jaken.You should respect those of a higher standing than yourself"
Jaken had just been barley able to squeak out "H-Hai L-Lady Kagome" Bowing lowly to Kagome before turning and running to complete his task.
~ End Flashback ~
Now laying the children in the spacious bed. The room she had been led to by the now submissive toad was very elegant as the rest of a castle. The room was a cream color and contained a very spacious canopy bed. Over on the far wall was a wardrobe and a screen. On the screen was a gorgeous picture of the castle from the front lawn, but that wasn't what caught Kagome's eye. What did was a pup that looked much to be Sesshoumaru and his parents. They all looked to be happy but in the distance you could see a dark cloud. As if a sign that there joy was not to last, it was if the creator of the beautiful piece of art knew what was to come.
Kagome knew something had happened to Sesshoumaru's mother but didn't know what. She would have asked InuYasha but being abandoned as a pup himself so he probably didn't know either.
After staring at the screen for 15 min lost in her own thoughts Kagome decided that she would get some rest. Slipping under the covers, the small children unconsciously snuggled up to Kagome. Dozing off couldn't help but wondered where InuYasha was.
~Where InuYasha is~
InuYasha was running in a red blur across the treetops. He was only a few min away from Kaede's village. 'I hope Kagome knows it was kikyou saying all those things. Of course she does she called me weak for not fighting it. I DID TRY AND FIGHT IT!!! I'd liked to see her try and fight kikyou's mind control.' InuYasha let a small 'feh' out. 'What do I care Kagome will forgive me like she always does. Right?' With his last thought he landed on a branch that broke. Falling through the tree and hitting branch's on the way he landed with a thud and an 'uf '.
" That hurt almost as bad as one of Kagome's 'sit's ' He said to no one in particular. Getting up he ran the rest of the way to the village. At the edge of the forest InuYasha paused to take in the scent's of who was there and where. Kaede and Sango was in Kaede's garden and Miroku was somewhere in the village. He searched for Kagome's sent but was unable to find it but he did find some one else's sent. 'Sesshoumaru'
With that InuYasha was off. Sesshoumaru's sent was a few days old but he had been here sure enough and his sent went all the way to Kaede's house. Racing into the old miko's hut he stopped in front of Kaede.
"Hey old Hag?"
"Yes InuYasha?"
"Why was my brother here?"
"He came here to bring Kagome news of her transformation and her true past."
"Oh" almost forgot about that "Well where is she?" "Who InuYasha?"
"Don't play games old woman! Kagome who do you think?" A fuming InuYasha all but screamed.
"She went with your brother, Sesshoumaru" InuYasha was quiet for a few seconds before what Kaede had said sank in.
"SHE WENT WITH MY BROTHER!!!!" InuYasha continued to yell obsinity's and insults directed at the tai-youkai and a certain youkai miko among other things. Hearing the commotion Sango and Miroku came in the hut to see an angry hanyou and Kaede calmly sorting herbs. "Oh, I see our friend found out where Lady Kagome went" Miroku stated.
"Aye" was all Kaede said while InuYasha continued to yell.
After InuYasha had finished throwing a fit. Sango and Miroku were able to explain in further detail. As Sango finished she looked at the scowling InuYasha waiting for a response.
"I'm going after her" with that he ran out of the hut.
"Think we should have told him?" Asked Miroku.
:"He'll find out soon enough" Sango said while she drank some tea.
InuYasha ran through the forest appearing to any human as a red blur. I have to go after her who knows what Sesshoumaru might do. Now speeding through the familiar clearing and past the goushinboku when he seemingly hit an invisible brick wall, gently getting pushed back. InuYasha tried it again only to have the same thing happen only than did he realize that there was a barrier.
"Damn!" putting his hand close to the barrier he saw a blue white glow. Kagome had put the barrier up. But why? He didn't need to ask, he already knew why. Because she doesn't want you to go after her or to interfere. His ears drooped and he went and jumped into the goushinboku tree.
Sulking and thinking about a certain young miko. Not knowing that the same miko that occupied his thoughts was watching him.
~Sesshoumaru's Castle~
Kagome sat in the window seemingly gazing out the scenery. Her normal silver eyes were not there though. Instead her eyes were glowing blue and seemingly far away. She looked with sad eyes as her close companion came to a realization. Seeing his ears droop was heart breaking but not the less she knew this was necessary. Taking one last look at the saddened hanyou she left leaving the barrier there until she returned.
Her eyes once again turned to their natural silver and focused on her current surroundings. At least he knows It's for his own good She smiled sadly but it soon faded they didn't tell him about Kikyou.
Sesshoumaru had been watching the girl for a short time. She had been staring out the window with blank eyes. He didn't know where she was but only her physical being remained here. Her body was glowing the same color as her eyes protecting her form any danger and knowing that if he touched her that he would be purified. Walking to the door giving her one last look he saw her eyes revert to their normal silver. She was begging to smile when suddenly the smile dissipated. Her sent changed and was clouded with worry and sadness. Interesting. With that he left to see where Rin and the fox child had locked Jaken in.
