Tears of Doubt
Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own Inuyasha.........well may be some day.......okay I shouldn't even dream it.
Okay big thanx to serenity971, ra, and kimimisae. Ya'll have inspired me to continue.
Oh and thanks for telling me the correct meaning for miko, Kimimisae. I went back and changed it. I'm just a beginner learning Japanese (Nihongo).
Sorry but Sesshomaru is a little OOC in this chapter.
************************Chapter 9
Kagome stood up and walked over to where Sesshomaru was. "Sesshomaru?" she tenitavly asked, "are you okay?"
Sesshomaru said nothing. He had clenched his fists so tightly that he was beggining to bleed. 'They will pay for this.' Thoughts of little Rin came to mind. How could anyone wish to harm a helpless human that small.
Kagome tried talking to him again, "Who's Rin?"
Sesshomaru finally turned to look at her, but when he spoke it was directed to Jaken, "Did they say anything else?"
Jaken looked up at him with a saddened expression, "Only that they wish to watch as 'it' is done. They grew impatient and found us. I could not stop them, me Lord, I could not." Jaken had grown fond of Rin, she was like a little sister to him.
He watched as Sesshomaru's eyes drained of all emotion. T'was a sad thing indeed. He hadn't seen his master this deviod of emotion since before Rin.
Sesshomaru spoke to Kagome, "Rin is the human child that travels with us." He looked out towards the westlands.
"Yes," Jaken said, "she was the orphan girl."
Sesshomaru looked back to Kagome and was angered to see pity for him in her eyes. "Pack your things we are leaving now."
Shippo jumped on Kagome's shoulder and gave her a big hug. 'I love you, mommy' he thought as she hugged him back. 'I'm glad that I'm not an orphan anymore.'
Kagome watched Sesshomaru walk away from her with Jaken close behind. They stopped and began talking but she couldn't hear what was said. 'Poor Sesshomaru. She must be like a daughter to him.' She glanced over her shoulder at Shippo and thought ' Shippo is like a son to me, I don't know what I'd do if he was taken away.'
She looked out into the horizon and her face hardened, 'actually I do know what I'd do, I'd fight for him.' She walked over and grabbed her bag, and sat Shippo down. "I'll be right back okay, Shippo, I've just got to change clothes." As an afterthought she reached in her bag and pulled out a candy bar, "Here, you can have this," She said handing it to him.
Quicker than the eye could see, he swallowed the whole candy bar wrapper and all with one bite. Kagome sweatdropped as she said, "Remember what I told you about taking the wrapper off?"
Shippo looked at her Sheepishly, "I wondered why it tasted bad, can I have another one?"
"No, not until we eat breakfast, okay." She said shaking her head no.
He gave her the I'm-Innocent-of-all-accusations puppy eyes. (A/N: You know the ones with tears in them. How cute. Who could resist?)
Kagome tried to keep a stern face, but failed, "One more, but that's it." She smiled as he jumped up and down with glee. She pulled another candybar out of her bag. "Don't forget to take the wrapper off this time." She handed him the candybar and then walked behind the trees to get changed into some drier clothes.
Sesshomaru watched as her as she left. He didn't know what to do. At first it was so simple, just get her to seal the immortals and get his land back, but the immortals must have suspected that strategy so they took Rin to insure his cooperation.
Strangly enough he didn't want to harm Kagome, which was very odd considering the fact that for the first time in his life, he was attack by the things that people aren't normally attacked by. He didn't want to know what he be attacked by next. Dirt, may be, or corn. He shook his head ' I should be focusing on more important things.'
Kagome walked back into camp wearing her normal school girl outfit (A/N: You know the one). She began packing her futon (or sleeping bag, which ever you prefer) in her bag.
Sesshomaru raised his eyebrows, and wondered amusingly if this was what all her clothes looked like. Since of course that's about all he ever sees her in. He shook his head as his thoughts turned towards what might be under the clothes. 'Now is not the time to be thinking that.' He mentally scolded himself.
Kagome turned a bright smile towards him, "Okay, I'm ready." She glanced at Shippo then gasped, "are you okay, Shippo?"
His face was pale, "I feel sick." As soon as he said that he went rushing into the forest. Kagome was about to go after him when she noticed that not one candybar wrapper layed on the ground but instead twelve did.
Ten minutes past then Shippo walked back into camp, he had stayed out there an extra few minutes to be convincing. Better to act sick than be in trouble. She was bound to notice those wrappers soon, so he acted fast.
Then he noticed the look in Kagome's eyes. 'uh-oh' so she was still mad, then as he thought, ' If I'm still sick then I can't be punished right?' He looked at her with the most pitiful expression he could make. "Are you going to punish me?" he asked with sad eyes and he even added a little wimper for effect.
Her eyes softened at this, " Of course not, I think being sick was enough punishment, just don't do it again okay?"
He pitifully nodded his head yes. 'That was a close,' he mentally thought, ' barely scraped out of that one.'
Sesshomaru looked at Shippo with a slightly amused expression. 'He's just like Rin, except she's not nearly so convincing.' He walked over to him and said so that only Shippo could hear, "Just make sure you don't start feeling better too soon because," he added with a barely audible chuckle, "she's not nearly as dumb as she appears."
Shippo grinned and gave him a quick nod. 'Hmm, may be Sesshomaru isn't so bad after all.' He looked from Kagome to Sesshomaru and suddenly came up with a brilliant thought. 'Kagome's my mommie, so if I can get Sesshomaru with mom then he would.....be my dad!! Now how to do that.' He climbed on Kagome's shoulder again and began devising a plan.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ hours later
"Sesshomaru, do you think we could take a break?" Kagome asked. She looked at him pleadingly. They had been walking at a fast pace since leaving camp.
"No," Sesshomaru said without even looking at her, "we will not stop here."
She nodded, "Okay.......Ow" she said as a bryer cut her arm. 'Why do there have to be so may bryers around here. Soon my arm is going to look like my cat got a hold of it.' 'Speaking of arms' She thought gazing at his arm 'he still hadn't explained why his arm was back.' She suspected that he didn't even know.
They had been walking for about another hour when Sesshomaru stopped. Everyone gazed upward to what Sesshomaru was looking at.
It was a rustic cabin covered with moss and vines. There were clothes out drying in the sun. Though no sound came from the cabin it was obvious that someone lived there.
"We will stay here for the day," Sesshomaru calmly stated and began walking towards it.
Shippo looked at Jaken, "Who lives here?"
"An old friend of mi Lord's," Jaken replied.
Kagome went beside Sesshomaru, "What are we going to do about Rin?" He said nothing so Kagome continued talking, "I'll help you all that I can." Sesshomaru's eyes found hers. He stared at her intently and said, "go to the right."
She looked at him confused, "The right?" As soon as the words were out of her mouth she had walked in a huge puddle of mud. "Eww" she says as she tried to get out of the mud, Sesshomaru 'accidently' pushes her back in.
He looked at her calmly and said, "I warned you." He waited for her to get out of the mud. She glared at him as she did.
They eventually reached the cabin with no more mishaps.
