Hello People! I'm very sorry I haven't updated I had to go with my mom to
bring my sister to an air force base and was gone for a while, but I'm back
and the fic goes on so here it is.
"Although I hesitate to ask and you can tell me it's none of my business.."
the short ugly green man (A/N I wonder who this could be) ran stained
fingers lightly down the heavy gold chain until they rested on the
medallion that hung from it. "...How did you acquire this?" "You're right, Jakken. It's none of your business." Kagome stood, slightly leaning on a book case, in front of the ugly man. "Will it pay for what I
need?"
"A lady in your line of work should be more patient," Jakken chided, "However you managed it," he said at last, "His grace will not be happy to
find it gone."
"Forget his Grace," Kagome snapped. "Get on with it." She'd stolen the chain earlier, to get the emerald, he would need to get in the palace, but only Jakken had the means for that and his price was high. The small man had no need for rich things, he desired the dangerous. Kagome had not dealt
with the man before but she knew he was the only man who had what she needed. And if the chain and medallion were too little? Kagome beat that thought down. They couldn't be. Not enough remained of the night for her to
steal something else and get the emerald as well. His Grace's security
system had cost her too much time as it was. "The charm you need, my lady, is costly." The bulging green man murmured more to himself than to the young thief. He hefted the chain once more and smiled his eyes almost bugging out at the facile expression. "But I think that this will meet the price. The irritation it will cause his grace is almost enough, almost" he said in a hurry in case Kagome got any ideas. Yes
this will get you your charm."
"And a grappling iron."
Jakken's nearly did bulge out with anticipation. Almost as much as the treasures it brought, he loved bargaining, the give the take, the jockeying for position, the power of words. He spoke the first phrase of the ritual
"You haggle with me then?" Kagome's lips thinned and one eye brow rose in irritation "No. The charm is useless without the iron. I get both or no deal. I can put the charm back
as easy as I took it."
For a moment there was no sound except their breathing. Jakken couldn't
believe his ears. An ultimatum? Had this, this thief just given him an
ultimatum?
"Make your choice," the thief continued. "I haven't much time."
It could be a bluff, but Jakken didn't like her tone. He fingered the
medallion and chose. "And the grappling iron." He agreed. Reaching he snagged a box and plucked out a tiny twist of silver. "This will get you
through the wards but will not block magic attacks."
Leaning out of the shadows, Kagome snatched the charm. "And the iron."
A pudgy finger pointed. Both the charm and folded hooks disappeared within one voluminous trouser
leg, and the young woman took her leave. "You're welcome," Jakken said to the space that was occupied by the thief before. He stroked the chain and imagined his Grace's expression when he woke up and found the bauble missing. Rumor had it the slept with the chain draped over his bedpost, a pretty bit of thievery that. Spitting the wet of the smoke stick from his mouth, Jakken settled the chain around his neck. He almost wished he see the young lass's face when the weakened hook broke
free and she plumed to the ground.
(A/N I could stop here but I want to get to sessho so I'm going to be
generous lol) Kagome waited till the night guards were about to be relieved before she made her attempt at the wall. Her attire was that of a page, in dark green
it worked as well in the dark as her black, but more importantly in the light. She saw her moment of opportunity when the guard went to greet her relief. She sprang and climbed up the wall in less than two heartbeats and
was safely on the other side. She approached the next gate and was told
"State your business" "I have a package for the royal highnesses." This was how the twins were
named, as one unit, and no person ever got between them and their
"presents". "Alright then of with you." And Kagome walked of leaving the man shivering
because of the dead look in her eyes.
Once she was pasted him she jump in to the garden and took to the trees when a branch suddenly snapped and she fell heavily to the tree scraping her thigh. All of a sudden the sounds of loud growling came and Kagome saw them, the hunters. They were bigger than the mountain cats at her home but
she had come prepared for this and open the pack she'd brought with her careful not to touch it with her hands. The cats became aware of this new curious scent and she trough it an quickly made her way across the gardens and limped her way the closest balcony and stopped there for a quick rest when a sword clanged down next to her head. She jumped and was paralyzed when she saw who was wielding the powerful blade and slipped in to a memory when she saw the sliver hair and gold eyes. (2 guesses the 1st one doesn't
count) "I can't possibly be that drunk!" Sesshomaru said as he noticed the sword
had missed. He took another gulp of his wine and aimed for the thief. Kagome came out of her trance when the railing next to her let out a loud
clang and moved closer to Sesshomaru and pushed him.
Sesshomaru let out a gasp when the cold fingers penetrated the hours of drinking and he thought "What the hell a caught thief shouldn't act like
this and step back even though the shove was incredibly weak. They both tripped in to the room and fell upon the bed, Sesshomaru being on top thought "what the hell." And started fumbling with the ties of Kagome's
pants. Kagome shoved him aside and made her way out of the room and only looked
back when the person on the bed began to snore.
Ok. How was it? I finally got sessy-chan in the story thank god. I think I
should be updating again soon until then REVIEW.
