CHAPTER SIX: With Their Eyes
"I just don't understand that bastard." Kagome mumbled as she dove into the clear lake after dropping the ring onto her pile of clothes. She had come here for one thing, and that was to get clean. She could still smell Sesshoumaru's scent all over her. And having it not coming off easily was quickly making her frustrated.
"I just can't believe even he, the Great Sesshoumaru would do something so low as that." She mumbled sarcastically. The scent was dissipating, yet she wouldn't be happy until the entirety of him was away. She stopped scrubbing herself long enough to think back on the note he had written.
*Kagome, You are such the charming flirt, if I didn't know I was smarter, I may have taken you up as a woman in my harem. If I did have one anyway. Which I don't, and never shall have. I, Sesshoumaru? Having intimacy with women who are not my true mate? Ha! I am not like those idiots who plague my lands searching for half-decent young women to beseech themselves with. Anyway, enough of my ranting. I hope you don't feel too awful for my little game, wait, actually I do hope that. My mistake. Perhaps we shall meet again. Though I'd rather not personally. Bad day to you, and happy hunting.*
Kagome took a short breath to calm herself down. Her anger came rapidly now, and she wasn't sure if it was just the demon blood affecting her so. After washing her hair, and rinsing off the soap, she swam for a few minutes longer. Until finally walking up onto the shoreline. She dried off her body with the towel she had brought with her, and put her clean clothes on. Which consisted of a black tank top, dark blue jeans, and black combat boots. Kagome combed her hair, braided it, and then tied it at the end, as she watched a fluffy white rabbit jump by. (AN: That's for you "Jui"!)
She picked up her belongings, and glared at the ring and note before shoving them harshly into her front pocket. Jumping into the air, she missed the soft sigh from a tree nearby. (AN: I hate it when I rhyme when I don't want to!) Kagome flew through the air, breathing in the coolness. (AN: I want to make her swallow a bug or something, but wouldn't that ruin the moment that's not there?)
As Kagome neared the camp, she noticed the sun was beginning to set, and from the distance she could see Sango trying to start a fire, and Miroku, trying to start something else. She could hear the smack clearly from where she was, and knew that Miroku would have a handprint on his face for quite some time.
(AN: THIS IS WHERE I LEFT OFF!! I am terribly sorry for not updating for years almost. Heh, it's just that I have never actually finished a story before, as I always get distracted, or I get writers block. Buuuuut, thank some almighty deity for "Jui", she has helped me a bit, giving me questions that I need to answer and such.
Kagome walked towards the fire, and smirked at Miroku, who was rubbing his face gently. "When will you learn Miroku? You're an intelligent being, why do you work so hard to hide it?"
"Touché Lady Kagome. That hurts." Miroku said, feigning sadness.
Sango laughed. Shippo as well, startling Sango. He had transformed out of his form as a stick, which just happened to be the one that Sango had reached for to add to the fire. "Shippo! You shouldn't do that, I could have toasted you!" Sango exclaimed, laughing all the same.
"You wouldn't have, I'm tough like that. Right Kagome?" Shippo said, puffing out his chest.
"Of course you are Shippo-chan. But please be more careful anyway."
Suddenly, Kagome sensed a presence nearby. Behind some trees, she could hear a faint rustling. Kagome began to walk towards the sound, making Sango, Miroku, and Shippo look up at her in confusion. "What's wrong Kagome- san?" Miroku asked for the three of them.
"Oh, nothing, I'm just going to get some more firewood for the fire." Kagome said, smiling slightly. Sango looked at the pile of wood next to the fire. But didn't question her motives. Perhaps she just wanted to be alone. Clamping her hand over Shippo's mouth, stopping him from making her thoughts known, Sango nodded her head. "Take your time Kagome."
Kagome continued to walk in the direction of the noise. Suddenly it stopped, and Kagome strained to hear well. She heard whispering, and squinted her cat-like eyes to see. Unfortunately, there was a bush hiding her view. Oh what I would do to be superman at the moment. She thought to herself humorously.
"Shh, she'll know we're hear Sakati. Shut you're big fat mouth." A female's voice said, in a loud whisper.
"Too late Shiho, she knows already, can't you see her coming this way? Stand up, and I do NOT have a fat mouth." A male's voice muttered.
"Ooo, You'll have a fat mouth when I get through with you." Shiho said, as she stood up. Kagome had reached the pair, and her eyes asked her question. Shiho pulled on something, receiving a growl from the male named Sakati. Sakati stood as well, and removed Shiho's hand that was gripping his pointed ear.
The two stepped out from behind the bush, revealing a lithe looking, tall male, and a slim and seemingly athletic shorter female. Both cat youkai, like Kagome. Sakati had messy longer black hair, and bright emerald green eyes; he was wearing black leggings and a black vest with a green long- sleeved shirt underneath. Shiho's hair glimmered under the moon's light, giving her long light brown hair a gold tint to it. Her eyes were violet, and were narrowed as she looked at her companion. Shiho's clothes consisted of a short, mid-thigh high red kimono without sleeves. Both wore sandals. Sakati put his arm around Shiho's shoulders, and smiled calmly at Kagome. Shiho looked on grimly, but smiled slightly at Kagome as well.
"Excuse us for this intrusion Lady Kagome. I am Sakati, and this is Shiho. Please do not be angry, we are not spies." Sakati said bowing, and making Shiho bow as well, as his arm was still around her shoulders.
Kagome nodded swiftly. "Then what precisely is your business here?" She said calmly.
Shiho nodded, then began to explain. "Yes, of course. We are here, for you my Lady. We sensed the blood of our ruler. The eastern lands have fallen to almost ruins because of the lack of our Lady. Sakati and I were ordered to come find you, then report back to command that you are indeed alive. And well, here you are."
"Aha. Well, is that all you needed, was proof of my existence?" Kagome asked, she was answered by a curt nod from the two. "Hmm, stay for a while. I have many questions that I'm sure you could answer. Even if it were to be only a few, it would be great appreciated. I was about to cook dinner anyway."
Both looked quite surprised. But noticed that Kagome had already turned and was walking back into the camp. Sakati and Shiho looked at each other then followed their leader quickly, keeping a polite distance from her in respect.
By now it was fully dark, and the others looked up as they heard Kagome return. "No wood I see." Miroku joked, all the while earning a smack from Sango. The two cat youkai entered the light, and Sango opened her eyes wide. "Kagome?" Sango questioned.
"These are youkai from the eastern lands, they have been ordered to find me. Then return to inform their commander of my being alive. I have invited them for dinner so they can explain things. They will not harm you." Kagome said calmly, the last part mainly for Shippo who had hid behind Sango. "It's a good thing Inuyasha is not present. I don't need his idiotic ramblings." Kagome added, as she sat down. She nodded towards Sakati and Shiho, who stared at her blankly. "Sit, please. No need for formalities, I'm no deity as of yet."
The two complied, nervously though. Shippo walked over to them and patted them on the heads. "It's alright. Take a chill pill. Kagome won't bite your heads off."
"A...chill...?" Shiho started.
"...Pill? Sakati finished. Both looked terribly confused. Kagome smiled, Shippo loved using words from her time. At least it used to be her time. Kagome wasn't quite sure anymore. She frowned, and then began opening packages for ramen, after which she put the noodles into the pot of already boiling water.
Kagome crossed her legs Indian-style, and then placed her hands on her knees. "Well? Explain. Why was I turned human, placed in the future, given miko powers, changed back into a youkai, and, here's the most annoying one, given this ring?" She said, showing the emerald ring she shared with Sesshoumaru. "Also, anything else I should know would be of help. I'm a blank slate at the moment."
Sakati swallowed, then looked at Shiho who shrugged. "That's quite a lot of questions milady. But, I and Shiho will try the best we can to answer them all. Though it might take a long time."
Kagome shrugged. "I have a long night ahead of me. Though the rest of you can sleep if you want, after dinner of course." She said, looking at the rest of her companions. All shook their heads. "Of course we'll stay awake Kagome-san. This concerns you, our great friend." Sango said happily. Kagome smiled.
Sakati sighed. "Well..."
(AN: HAHAHAHAHAHA! You'll have to wait until the next chapter! Bwa hahaha! I'm terrible, I know. It's a gift.
(Dodges a pan being chucked at her)
"God damnit, Sesshoumaru, that's my mother's good pan! Get over here right now!"
(Sesshoumaru enters, his white dress shirt unbuttoned revealing his yummy toned stomach)
"It's your fault you know. You told me I'd be in this chapter. But to no avail, am I? No."
(Atheraine sticks out her tongue)
"Cry me a river Sesshou. Why is your shirt unbuttoned anyway?"
(Sesshoumaru looks down at his shirt)
"Because I know you can't resist my stomach."
(Atheraine looks away)
"Of course I can...(peeks) not...
(Sesshoumaru smirks)
"See? Actually, you're kitchen has such bad ventilation I was almost sweating. And you KNOW what that does to my good looks."
(Takes of his shirt, and walks out of the living room)
"Umm..."
(Atheraine walks out of the room quickly)
"You know what...I'm kind of hungry for biscuits..."
haha. Umm...yeah, REVIEW my friends! Hahahahahaha.)
"I just don't understand that bastard." Kagome mumbled as she dove into the clear lake after dropping the ring onto her pile of clothes. She had come here for one thing, and that was to get clean.
