Kagome woke that morning, with Sesshoumaru still on top of her. She closed
her eyes and stayed in his hold for about a half hour long just enjoying
being in his arms, when he woke up.
"Morning," Kagome whispered as Sesshoumaru lazily rolled to his side. He smiled slightly, closing his eyes, holding her close. His muscles where sore as hell, and he wouldn't mind he stayed collapsed in bed for the day.
Kagome perched her head up with one hand, looking down at him.
"Aren't you going to get ready?"
"I might," Sesshoumaru shrugged.
"The mighty tai youkai of west, being... dare I say it?!" Kagome mocked. "Yes, I think I do dare! Lazy!" Sesshoumaru growled as he suddenly pounced on Kagome, trapping her under him. He unmercifully began to tickle her sides, make Kagome begin shouting with laughter.
"Stop!" she breathed, laughter still coming from her lips. "I- -air!" Sesshoumaru chuckled as he stopped, looking at Kagome lovingly. Kagome sat up, wrapping her arms around him, kissing him softly, and still laughing softly.
"Come on! Let's go eat!" Sesshoumaru nodded, and stood along with Kagome.
After breakfast, Kagome met with Aya who was going to a nearby village. Kagome thought a nice outing from the castle would be nice, along with the exercise. Sesshoumaru couldn't disagree. Besides, he had work to do, and wouldn't have any time to pay any attention to Kagome.
He met Katsuhiko, Miroku, Huang, and Kenji in his study. "Ready?" Katsuhiko asked. Each man was dressed in Western soldiers uniform. Except for Miroku, who bested for his monks clothing instead. Each of the four men had a brown bag at his feet.
Sesshoumaru knew what was in the bags.
Salted meat, enough for 2 full dinners, 2 breakfasts, and 2 slight snacks encase. After that, maps and scrolls of edification. Goods and gold in case of having to 'change ones mind'. Blanket for the nights. And lastly a change of clothing just in case.
"I took the liberty of packing a pack for you too, Lord Sesshoumaru." Miroku walked up and handed Sesshoumaru a pack of his own.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "I want to stop by a village before we go." Everyone nodded, though confused slightly.
"I take it, our lovely Lady Kagome will not be joining our quest for the scroll?" Miroku asked. Sesshoumaru shook his head 'no'.
"Lady Kagome will not be joining us on this quest or any others that I deem unsafe."
"May I ask why?" Huang asked him. "I believe that we've trained her well, and she knows better to go astray."
"You have taught her well, I agree. Tis the fact that Kagome is with child."
Pain drifted through Katsuhiko's eyes before a smile broke his face, as he was happy for his friend. Kenji, Huang, and Miroku smiled too.
"Then I assume that you will need our cervices as tutors will be need again in a few short years for the young prince." Huang said jokingly.
"Or princess..." Miroku commented. Huang who was standing closest to Miroku smacked him upside the head.
"It just might happen. No let's go before we waste any more of my time."
"Congratulations Sesshoumaru," Katsuhiko said quietly as they walked down the hallway.
Sesshoumaru smiled softly and nodded, staring strait ahead of him. Katsuhiko chuckled.
"You know..." Katsuhiko said wistfully yet a joking manor was evident in his voice. "I never imagined you would be the first to have a child." Sesshoumaru and Katsuhiko laughed at that.
"Neither did I... Neither did I, my friend."
Kagome, Aya, and Sango laughed at words that where exchanged between them. Kagome was happy to see Sango getting relaxed to the point where she would openly talk to them without it being strictly business.
"Do you feel that?" Kagome said suddenly when they where looking at fine silk winter kimono's, as fall was starting to step in. They could feel it in the wind, as the wind was a bit chilly though the sun warmed them. But that was not was Kagome was talking about. Strong aura's where coming their way and they where recognizable. Though one stood out the most, as the most strongest and recognizable. "Sesshoumaru?" Kagome whispered.
They left the booth, and walked away from the village in the direction of the auras. In no time at all the party stepped out. It was indeed Sesshoumaru, Huang, Kenji, Miroku, and Katsuhiko.
"Sesshoumaru? What are you doing here?" Kagome said pleasantly yet confused. She walked into Sesshoumaru's open embrace, giving him a tight hug. In the corner of her eye she saw Kenji and Aya embrace as well. Miroku, also, edged his way to a wary Sango who was ever aware of where his hands where.
"Why are you not in the village? You are not even on the path home." Sesshoumaru gazed at her with a stern look.
"We felt your aura's so we walked toward them. What's the mater?"
"Me and my men are leaving for two days, no more then three. We hope to come back with the scroll back its place with Keade and the demon exterminators fortress." Kagome was silent for a few minutes before speaking.
"Why can't I go with you?"
"This is not a quest for a mother-in-waiting." Sesshoumaru pulled her close to him, and whispered in her ear. "If anything where to happen to you... or our child." Sesshoumaru was silent for a moment searching for words as he was yet still getting used what would be called 'mushy' talk. "I would never forgive my self," He finally said. "Please follow my wishes."
Kagome nodded, her heart pleading for him, as she was deeply touched by his words. Sesshoumaru kissed her softly on the lips, holding her close for as long as time would let them for that moment, before stepping back.
"Ready men?" Sesshoumaru said, getting back into his lordship ways. The small group of men once again circled around him, while he gave them a few instructions. Kagome saw his eyes flicker to her a few times, before nodding once in good bye as did Kanji did with Aya, before tacking off. They seemed to be gone to a few short seconds, then their aura's slowly fading from their senses.
"Farewells are all ways sad." Sango said smiling sadly as she watched the two women watch their loves go.
"Yes, They are..." Aya agreed. "Well. They will be back soon enough, and standing here won't make them come back any sooner. Let's finish out shopping and head back to the palace." Kagome nodded, along with Sango.
They arrived at the demon exterminating village dusk. An odd black aura swarmed over it as they stepped near the grounds.
"Slow!" Sesshoumaru said stopping all together.
"That aura... It's so... Evil." As lame as the words sounded on Miroku, all the other men agreed. It dark aura swarm around like, it was water tiding it for the moment. Except this... This feeling chilled you to the bone, like they never would feel happiness again.
"Let's go from here!" Huang said suddenly. "This aura does not bode me well." Miroku and the other, except for Sesshoumaru, nodded half-heartedly.
"Yes," Kenji said. "Maybe in short time it shall disappear. We should come back later." Sesshoumaru wanted to go too, but his pride hid him from it.
"No. Keade is in there, whatever it is, just remain calm...Think of a good memory." The others too, nodded. They weren't trying to run, but the feeling was unknown. In a very frightening way.
Sesshoumaru steadily concentrated on Kagome. It was her lesson with him, and they where twirling around the grand ballroom, the way she looked and smiled. His mind switch to the ride on Ah-Un's back, and the many kisses they shared... The night where they became mates...
The aura around them where suffocating them; it seemed like it was seemingly eating up their souls.
Finally the thought of Kagome comforting him on the balcony.
It seemed like he had finally risen out of he water; he was able to breathe. He heard the relieved gasps of his men behind him, as they finally pushed through the black aura.
Smoke and blood filled his senses, once they returned fully to him, he whirled around to the fortress. He could hardly keep the gasp escaping his own mouth.
"Men! Hurry! The village!" Sesshoumaru rushed foreword to the fortress, as the other men twirled around as well. Their face's hardened, as they set forward to follow him.
Coming to the doors of the fortress, they had to use their shoulders to bang into the huge doors to try and get them open. It took them a couple of tried before the doors banged open.
They all stood shocked; the village was in total ruins. "Search for survivors." Sesshoumaru said quietly walking into the village.
That was when they heard it. A male yelling, but the words where muffled. Sesshoumaru's hair all but stood on end. He knew that aura and voice!
And apparently every one else did, except for Miroku who looked at them all with curiosity.
"CLAWS OF BLOOD!!!" A voice shouted from a distance. Katsuhiko half smirked, though still shocked.
"He all ways had of shouting out the names of his attacks." Katsuhiko said. Sesshoumaru glared at him, and ran toward the voice. The other's followed. "Sesshoumaru! Wait up!"
They stopped at the final walls of the fortress; a hanyou dodged many attacks of random low class youkai. He had long silver hair, golden eyes, and a large baggy bright red fire rat outfit on. He had a huge fang of a sword in his hands and was swinging madly at the demons, killing many in just a few short swings.
"Why it's..." Huang said shocked as he hadn't seen this hanyou in a good many years. Sesshoumaru finished the sentience for him.
"InuYasha..."
