I'm sorry if I can't please all of you. sniffle I'm sorry! sob Okay then, enjoy the new chappie. :D
Chapter 7: Prisoners? The girls take charge.
Sesshoumaru's eyes were glowing eerily a reddish hue and Kagome and Sango's own eyes quickly imitated his. Inuyasha burst thru and ran between them. Sesshoumaru batted him away and took-off forward with such agile grace that even Sango—the expert—was surprised. She dodged nimbly and with her swift lioness strength and suppleness dropped, rolled and launched herself forward for her own mighty weapon, the Hiraikotsu. She nearly made it too if it wasn't for Sesshoumaru's unexpected attack.
She fell thickly across her own weapon, roughly slamming her face into it. She winced as she lunged up and back at it. Inuyasha meanwhile was trying to fend off Kagome without truly hurting her—which actually infuriated her even more. She increased her pace and power leaving Inuyasha in the dust. "Ah, bitch! Calm down!" his muffled voice rang out.
Kagome suddenly remembered his special subduing word. "SIT!" she cried. Sango gave a muffled yelp as Sesshoumaru's fiery whip cut into her side. Kagome rushed to her aid and threw herself onto Sesshoumaru's back. Sesshoumaru moved slightly and Kagome pitched forward onto Sango instead.
And then Miroku was in the fray, worried at first but then sensing opportunities going to waste. With Kagome tangled in Sango's limbs he reached around Sesshoumaru and groped her merrily. The men realized they gone from the frying pan into the fire as the women went wild. Sesshoumaru—almost frightened, though he didn't show it—yelled angrily at Miroku as Sango's gigantic lioness form whipped at him, "Baka! Why the hell did you add fuel?!" Inuyasha was panting and Kagome's radiant neko form swiftly took control of the situation.
"Damn, they're good," muttered a dodging Miroku. Sango was taking on both of them while Kagome occasionally joined in with all three. All that was heard was the hiss of cats and the growl of dogs and it got worse. Kouga and Ayame charged in, Ayame trying to help out Kagome and Sango, Kouga attacking Inuyasha jealously.
"Why do you get to be with her?" he shouted with resentment. Ayame stopped where she was and howled with agony. Sobbing she rushed out the door and both Sango and Kagome turned on Kouga. He went flying out the door with a vicious 'oomph' of lost breath. Kagome chased after Ayame and found her weeping in a corner of a lovely garden. Kagome shot forward to comfort her and Ayame—not a grudging person—wailed in real pain, "Oh Kagome, what did I do? Am I so unappealing? Am I such a bad person?" Kagome's eyes shifted back to their normal lively colour and with a mournful face she embraced the shaking Ayame and whispered, "I'm sorry Ayame, men can be such idiots, but I can swear to you that I will always be there as your friend."
And then she was knocked out again by a cold hearted dog youkai. Ayame sprang up and held Kagome tightly while she glared daggers at the young Lord. Sesshoumaru smirked, "Ha, easy enough once the lioness was out of commission." Then a stern voice demanded, "What do you think you are doing?" Sesshoumaru calmly gazed at the confused Kagura. "How could you knock out a defenceless creature?" she scolded. Sesshoumaru felt guilty then, but he didn't show it. "Defending my secrets and my Lands from a spy," he replied and walked away.
Kagura—after motioning for the red faced Ayame to follow her—faced Sesshoumaru righteously and proceeded to give him a glare worthy of death, then turned a cold shoulder on him. Ayame followed her meekly and carefully carried Kagome with her. They found a ferociously furious Sango tied securely to Miroku—who was badly scratched up—yelling for Kagome. "Bastards! If you hurt a single hair on her head, I'll—" Ayame lurched forward and placed Kagome at her feet.
"Don't worry, she's fine," she murmured. Sango relaxed and fainted against her friends limp body. Kouga was bandaging a bloody arm and Inuyasha was nursing a sore back. Kouga stood and walked towards the silently sober Ayame with a pain creased face. "Aww Ayame, the bastard cheated," he complained. Then with a smirk he added slyly, "Wanna help make me better?"
A resounding slap brought him to his senses as Ayame stormed out and Inuyasha and Miroku's laughter echoed in his ears. Kagura watched all this with an amused lifted eyebrow. She bent over, pulled the two girls up—after freeing Sango from the perverted, bleeding Miroku—and left the men to their own problems.
Ayame had been leaning on the wall with soundless tears trickling down her face waiting for an unspoken command from Kagura. She ticked her head to the side and shook her head and then left for Sesshoumaru's chambers with the two girls and her quiet companion. With a satisfactory sneer she passed by a slightly surprised but emotionless looking Sesshoumaru. Kagura flung the doors to his room wide and promptly lowered both girls onto the soft, comfy bed and ushered Ayame in as well.
She woke the unconscious spies and smiled reassuringly. "Hello spies of the South," she said. The two girls had the grace to look down and blush while Kagura and Ayame inspected them. Finally Kagome muttered, "Well there's nothing we can do to deny that. What are you going to do with us?" Kagura sighed and replied, "I suppose Fluffy will want to keep you as prisoners, leech you of your own secrets and then set you free."
A banging on the door interrupted them and Sesshoumaru hollered, "Let me in and don't call me Fluffy!" Kagura gasped in anger and yelled back, "I'm not dressed!" They could all here a stunned silence followed by a slight puff of breath and Sesshoumaru whispered, "More the reason to come in, my little elemental breeze." He threw open the door with a grin and froze. His pale face flushed with a rosy red colour in his embarrassment and he hurriedly exited. The next days would certainly be amusing even if the men did act like idiots. (No offence to guys who are reading this intended!)
Okay, so this is the end of this chapter, but people, there will be more, I will never forget you. I'm sorry if they seem short, but for me they take forever 'cause I'm stoopid. KOGA'Sgurl, I've tried emailing you but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I have the wrong email? Please email me and I'll use it as a reply, okies?
