WD: Hello again, I currently have 63 reviews for The Other Taiyoukai, I'm really hoping to beat my old record (before I took the story down to redo it) of 102 reviews. But I love all you guys...and girls...for reviewing! Thanks so much! Okay...enough with the sap, on to the story!
~*~Chapter 9: On The Hunt~*~
Kagome struggled for a long time after she and Kikyo had been kidnaped by Naraku. At first Kagome tried to break the chains that kept her against the wall, but finally stopped after getting shocked many times. Her energy depleted, she fell into a much needed sleep.
Kagome was on a peaceful hilltop watching Rin chase butterflies. The grass was green and springtime flowers bloomed around her.
"Kagome-chan! Rin caught one Kagome-chan!" Rin started to run towards Kagome with her prize in cupped hands.
Then Kagome's dream turned into a nightmare.
Suddenly the field of flowers turned into a blood stained battleground, all the flowers wilted and died and rich green grass turned into a dead brown. Instead of a clear blue sky, the air around Kagome turned into a black sky, filled with the feeling of blood and death.
"Rin? Rin?" Kagome called out.
"K..Kagome-chan?" Rin's voice called out, but it wasn't the chirping cheerful tone the seven year old usually had. Rin now sounded weak and hurt. Kagome tired to get up and found that her legs couldn't move, again and again she tried to get up, and again and again she found her legs not moving.
"Rin?!" Kagome cried out again, looking around. Then she saw two blue orbs floating around the field, as if they were chasing each other happily. Then the blue orbs faded and Kagome was left alone on the battlefield in her dream.
~*~
Sesshoumaru continued giving Inuyasha death glares, the hanyou fully returning them. Sango had yelled at the brothers again, telling them to stop acting like little kids. Finally Kirara stood between the brothers, ready to carry one off.
"I don't think Sango's words worked, Inuyasha's just too much of a kid." Shippou commented from atop Miroku's head. Inuyasha turned around and was about to whack Shippou upside the head when the fox kit jumped onto Sesshoumaru's tail and hung on for dear life. Sesshoumaru looked at Shippou for a moment, and much to everyone's surprise, continued walking.
"Come here you little brat! I'm going to beat your head in!" Inuyasha was going to beat Shippou up, wheither or not he was hiding in Sesshoumaru's tail. He was about to pounce when Sesshoumaru interrupted.
"Touch the fox and you will die." The Taiyoukai said, giving Inuyasha a glare that said that he would go through with his words too. Shippou smiled and made himself comfortable in Sesshoumaru's tail, happily falling asleep.
The group continued walking, Sesshoumaru walking in front, tracking Kagome's scent, then Sango and Miroku, who, over the past few days became very close. Now Sango only blushed and whacked Miroku upside the head playfully whenever he did something perverted. Lastly came Inuyasha, who was sulking and mumbling to himself, ears flat on his head.
"Sesshoumaru, are you and Kagome going to get married?" Shippou asked suddenly. Inuyasha growled, Sango and Miroku gasped and Sesshoumaru looked taken aback, then smirked at the child's innocence.
"Do you really think that I, Sesshoumaru, would fall in love with a human?" He answered, although in the back of his mind Sesshoumaru was thinking differently. 'She's not just a human to me anymore. Not after I took her in anyway.'
"I think you should, then I'll have a new dad!" Shippou chirped. Shippou had never feared the Taiyoukai, even during the battles with Inuyasha.
'I'm sure Rin wouldn't mind having a new mom, or a brother....' Sesshoumaru thought, 'a mom would keep Rin busy.....'
"Jaken better be keeping Rin out of trouble." Sesshoumaru growled quietly.
"Who's Rin?" Shippou whispered.
"A female of your age." Sesshoumaru was deep in though- was her really in love with the human called Kagome. Surely he, the Taiyoukai of the West Lands, wasn't in love with a human. He would not follow in his father's footsteps and fall for a human. His father had done that once, and had killed his mother in the process, Sesshoumaru's eyes darkened when he thought of his mother.
But still......
"Sesshoumaru-sama, might we stop for the night?" Sesshoumaru looked behind him, ready to behead the huntress for interrupting his thoughts. He though better of it and looked at the humans, both the huntress and the monk were looked worn out. Inuyasha didn't look too much better, not many could keep up with the Taiyoukai's endurance.
Sesshoumaru nodded and Shippou jumped out of his tail to chase Kirara around. The cat and fox chased each other for awhile as the Sango and Miroku caught some fish for dinner.
~*~
Kagome was standing in a battlefield, bodies lay everywhere and the ground was dark from blood. Then she saw Kouga fighting Kaugra, the wolf youkai was losing badly.
"Kouga!" Kagome ran to help the wolf youkai when Kaugra sent a huge wave of wind blades at the wolf. Kouga was weak and couldn't dodge the blades and fell onto the ground. "Kouga!" Kagome cried out, reaching her friend and turning him over.
"K..Kagome?" Kouga said weakly, looking up at her.
"Kouga, don't move....I-"
"I couldn't avenge my allies....but I'm sure that they'll forgive me." Kouga said, coughing up blood. "I'm sorry I couldn't kill Naraku for you Kagome..."
"It's alright Kouga...I-Kouga! Kouga!" Kagome cried out her friends name again, but couldn't do anything as the wolf youkai died. Kagome turned around and saw her friends fighting a wave of youkai.
"Miroku! Don't open your Kazaana! You'll be poisoned!" Sango cried out, running to Miroku, who was surrounded by youkai and Naraku's poisonous insects.
"I have to Sango!" The monk yelled back. Miroku undid the prayer beads and unleashed his wind tunnel, drawing in hundreds of youkai and the poisonous wasps.
"Miroku!" Sango cried out, running to the monk that now lay on the ground. "Miroku!"
"I'm sorry Sango, I had to...."
"But you drew in all the wasp's vemon." Sango said sadly.
"I know....but I did it to protect you...." Miroku said weakly.
"Miroku!!" Sango cried out, tears in the huntresses eyes. Suddenly she fell on top of the monk as something ripped through her body. Weakly Sango looked up and saw her younger brother's weapon in her back.
~*~
Kagome awoke suddenly, her body covered in a sheen of cold sweat. That nightmare had been too real for her, she could almost smell the rusty taste of blood from her friend's bodies.
"Nightmare?" Kikyo asked Kagome with a sneer on her face, and if Kagome could, she would have liked to rip that smile of Kikyo's face....along with the rest of the dead miko's head. Sadly, Kagome was still chained to the wall. Kikyo gave Kagome one of her infamous death glares, while Kagome returned the glare fully.
"Well...I see my mikos are up." A dark voice said, Kagome and Kikyo looked up at Naraku, who had just come by. "I'm sure you two are hungry." Naraku smiled and set down a plateful of food, just out of reach of the two mikos.
"Naraku, you bastard." Kagome growled, once again she was rewarded with a jolt of pain and some of her energy leaving her.
"If you can reach the food, you can eat. However....if you cannot...." With that Naraku left. Kikyo looked at the food and then looked at Kagome.
"Stop looking at me! What do you want me to do?" Kagome growled. Kikyo looked away and closed her eyes, going to sleep and leaving Kagome alone.
The food sat there for half a hour while Kagome tried to think of way to get to it. Then it hit her. Soon she sat barefoot on the ground.
'If I can't reach it with my hands......' Kagome thought, streching her feet until it reached the plateful of food. Slowly and carefully, Kagome wrapped her toes around the edge of the plate and carefully brought in reach of her hands.
When Kikyo woke up she saw the plateful of food in the middle of the cell, out of reach. Only....the plate was empty. Across from her sat Kagome, staring at the wall next to her.
"Wench! What happened to all the food?" Kikyo growled.
Kagome burped in response.
"It's not my fault you fell asleep instead of ate." Kagome said, sneering at the dead miko. Kikyo gave Kagome another 'Kikyo death glare' while Kagome gave Kikyo a 'Sesshoumaru death glare/evil smirk'.
Sesshoumaru would have been proud.
~*~
Sesshoumaru sat in a tree, looking at the stars and trying to get some rest. Even he had to sleep sometimes. Shippou was in his tail again, mumbling about Kagome and something called chocolate. Sango and Miroku were sleeping side by side, Sango using one of Kagome's sleeping bags that she had given the huntress. Miroku still slept against at tree, but now he choose the tree closest to Sango. Sesshoumaru frowned, now not being able to get to sleep because of Inuyasha's mumbling about Kikyo.
Suddenly Sesshoumaru heard something and jumped out of his tree, dropping Shippou. Inuyasha also heard something and got up as well, hand on Tetsusaiga.
"What was that for?" Shippou asked sleepily, waking up Sango and Miroku.
"Quiet." Sesshoumaru ordered.
Something was coming.
