Disclaimer: Do I really have to write this? I don't, let me repeat,
DON'T own Inuyasha.
~*~*~Last time:
Inuyasha chose Kikyo over Kagome and now our favorite miko is stuck at the bottom of The Bone Eaters well with Sesshoumaru looking at her like she's insane for jumping into a well in the first place. ~*~*~
~*~Chapter 2: Rescued and Kidnaped by the Same Person~*~
Sango looked angerly at Inuyasha as he came down the hill that led to the village.
"Inuyasha.....where is Kagome?" Sango asked, Shippou on the huntress' shoulder. Miroku stood up, ready to hold Sango from ripping apart the hanyou.
"I-I don't know!" Inuyasha said in his usually cocky tone of voice. Sango growled.
"You lie." Shippou jumped onto Inuyasha's head.
"You smell funny Inuyasha." Shippou said. "You smell like ashes and dirt-" The fox kit went flying as Inuyasha flung him away. Miroku caught him. Sango growled again.
"You were Kikyo, weren't you?" If Sango had been a dog, her hackles would be raised and fangs would be bared.
"So what if I was?" Inuyasha replied.
"Kagome must have gone looking for you when she got back from her world. She must have seen you and that dead miko!" Sango yelled.
"Yeah.....she saw us...." Inuyasha said a bit sadly.
"Then where the hell is Kagome?!" Sango asked again.
"She ran off....back towards the well." A sudden gust of wind made Inuyasha growl.
"What is it?" Miroku asked.
"Sesshoumaru."
~*~*~*~
"I can't get back! I can't see my family!" Kagome started to panic. Sesshoumaru watched the miko struggle to climb out of the well with a hurt ankle. Much to his displeasure he had smelled his half-breed brother coming.
"Kagome-chan!?" Sango called out. Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga and lunged at Sesshoumaru, only the hanyou didn't see Kagome. Sesshoumaru jumped out of the way, picking up and carrying the shaking miko as he moved.
'Sess-Sesshoumaru saved me?!' Kagome thought.
"You should look before you swing little brother. Your wench might get in the way." Sesshoumaru growled.
"Kagome is not my wench!" Inuyasha yelled. "Now get away from her!"
"Why? You said she is not yours." Inuyasha growled. Sesshoumaru smirked, he always enjoyed messing with his little brother's mind.
"Doesn't mean you can have her!"
"Hey!" Kagome yelled, getting the attention of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. "I'm not some piece of property that you can claim you know!"
'Rin is coming. I don't wish for her to see a battle.' Sesshoumaru grabbed Kagome around the waist and flew into the woods. Inuyasha yelled and leaped after them. Kirara flew after the Taiyoukai, with Miroku, Shippou and Sango on her back. Sesshoumaru landed in front of a seven year old in a orange and white striped kimono. He wrapped her in his tail and flew off again.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin chirped.
"Where is Jaken?" Sesshoumaru asked the girl in his tail.
"Umm....Jaken-sama didn't want to play with Rin and told Rin that Sesshoumaru-sama doesn't like Rin and that Rin shouldn't pick flowers for Sesshoumaru-sama and that Jaken is going back home!" Rin had said all this in one breath, and took her time regaining it. Then Rin noticed Kagome, who looked to be in a cold state of shock.
'Who is this little girl? Why is she following Sesshoumaru around? Why is he keeping her?' Kagome thought.
"Hello! What's your name? Rin's name is Rin! Do you like flowers? Rin likes flowers! Rin also like to chase Jaken-sama around and Rin likes to fish! Do you like to fish!?" Rin didn't get an answer as she fell asleep in Sesshoumaru's tail. Then it hit Kagome who she was with, like the last 10 minutes had been a blur.
"Let me go Sesshoumaru! I have nothing that you want and if you want to use me for bait, it won't work. Inuyasha doesn't care for me." Kagome heard the Taiyoukai growl. "So let me go!"
"Be quiet woman. You will wake Rin."
"Why did you kidnap me?"
"Rin has been whining for a playmate, I have watched you play with that fox kit like he was your own pup. And if I tire of you, I can still use you for bait. Even if Inuyasha doesn't care for you, the monk and huntress do."
"It doesn't matter, Miroku and Sango have nothing that you want."
"They don't, but Inuyasha travels with them."
"And if he doesn't have what you want?" Sesshoumaru noticed that she tried not to say Inuyasha's name.
"Then we'll see." Sesshoumaru replied. Kagome shivered from fear, not sure what was going to happen.
"Who's the girl?" Kagome asked, wanting to stay awake, not trusting Sesshoumaru.
"Her name is Rin." Was all he said. Kagome felt herself get sleepy, but didn't want to fall asleep.
"Sleep. It is a long flight ahead." Sesshoumaru said, smelling her tiredness.
"I'm not tired." Kagome heard Sesshoumaru growl. Suddenly part of his tail wrapped around her throat and cut off her oxygen. Kagome started to panic and tried to breath or unwrap his tail from around her neck. Sesshoumaru squeezed harder and watched the miko go limp from unconsciousness.
~*~In Kagome's dream~*~
Kagome stood in some sort of study. The bookcases were full of leather bound books and scrolls. A desk in the middle of the study was littered with papers, maps and scrolls. Kagome held a black leather bound book in her hands. Before she could read what it said she was standing in the middle of a forest. On her hip there was a sword.
'I don't have a sword.' Kagome thought. She drew the sword gasped as it's blade shone in the sun. 'It's so light. But's long and full tang as well, how can it be so light?'
"Hello? Hello?" Kagome's head jerked up at the sound of someone's voice. It sounded happy and young.
~*~End Dream~*~
"Hello? Hello?" Kagome blinked and was looking into the face of the little seven year old girl from this afternoon.
"Ummm...hi." Kagome sat up and gazed around. The sky was starting to get dark and a couple stars were starting to show. There was a fire nearby and it crackled and popped.
"What's your name? Rin's name is Rin."
"Kagome." Kagome continued looking around, Sesshoumaru was no where in sight.
"Rin is hungry. Rin hopes Sesshoumaru comes back soon." As if on cue, the Taiyoukai stepped out of the forest and handed Rin a bowl of rice. He handed Kagome one as well and sat on the other side of the fire. Kagome looked down at the rice.
"It's not poisoned." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome looked at Rin, who was wolfing down her bowl of rice.
"What about you?" Kagome asked.
"I don't eat human food." He said. Kagome sighed and ate the rice, finding it quite good. Rin settled down after chasing a firefly around and went to sleep, curled into a little ball and sucking her thumb. Kagome, however, didn't fall asleep as easily. The dreams from before haunted her mind, and knowing that Sesshoumaru was right there didn't help a bit. Finally Kagome fell asleep, watching the pink dawn start to come up.
