Chp 6: Goodbye Sango and Miroku
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Disclaimer: No I don't own Fluffy and co. But who cares I can still write about him! %__%
Kagome was nervous. Very nervous. This morning after breakfast Sesshoumaru had told Shippou was to stay and be a playmate to Rin. Yes, he had TOLD her Shippou was to stay, not asked if he wanted to stay but pretty much, bluntly putting it, Shippou and I were willing prisoners. We couldn't leave if we wanted to, but we don't want to leave.
She was nervous because she had asked to go back to Kaede's village and say goodbye to Sango, Miroku, and Kaede. And tell them not to come after her. Just as something to convince him to let her see them she said he wouldn't have more humans around if they didn't come after her. To her surprise he said he would let her say goodbye. 'Who are you and what did you do with Sesshoumaru?' she was thinking until he added as an afterthought, "Only because I do not want more humans around than needed." Note to self: Sesshoumaru is not nice even if it seems so; there is always an ulterior motive. She was also mad and saddened, because if she was going to Kaede's village the odds of Inuyasha being there were about 99.99 out of 100.
She didn't want to see him again, ever, and if she did she would probably teach him a lesson. Not for revenge, but to show him she was Kagome not Kikiyou. Kikiyou. Kagome shuddered at the thought. Inuyasha probably replaced me with Kikiyou the second Sesshoumaru and me were out of sight. Wait. Kagome just had a very creepy thought. 'What if Inuyasha uses the jewel to get Kikiyou's soul back? I WOULD DIE!!!.notgoodnotgoodnotgoodnotgood! If they get the jewel before I do, I'll die! I can't die! I won't leave Shippou! I'm all he's got! He won't be able to go through it again.he's lost everything.if it happens again, I don't want to think about what it could do to him. She had to get the jewel shards before they did!' She walked to her mother's room next to her own.
"Mom?" "Yes dear?" Aiko looked up from the blanket she was knitting. Typical mom thing. "I was thinking and I had a scary thought, what if Inuyasha uses the jewel to get Kikiyou's soul back? It would kill me! I can't let that happen to Shippou, I have to find all the shards before he does." Aiko was looking at her worriedly. "You would need Sesshoumar-sama's consent before you did anything. And it would be a dangerous journey even with your miko powers. You would need someone to travel with, and it cannot be me, because I must stay and watch over Shippou and Rin. Even though I don't look my age, I am my age, and that's not as young as you. And I don't think Sesshoumaru will be much help." Kagome looked at her mother and sighed. "I guess your right, but I'm not giving up!" Kagome strode out of the room and headed towards Sesshoumaru's study. Aiko sighed and went back to knitting. 'If only I could tell you this secret Kagome, it would make your life much easier as of now. But you must find your miko powers first Kagome, and you cannot find them yet, but soon. Very soon.' Even though she had only been in the castle for little over two days, she had remarkably memorized certain parts of the corridors. She remembered that Sesshoumaru's study was 2 hallways left from the bathhouse. She was about ten paces from the door and she slowed her steps down considerably. She was now in front of the door and she hesitantly raised a hand to knock. Just as her hand was about to connect with the door a monotone voice said, "Come in."
****Sesshy's P.O.V****
Sesshoumaru was sitting at his big oak desk going over and replying to letters sent by the other lords and ladies. He finished a letter sent by the Lady of the Southern lands, A Hawk youkai by the name of Asahane. (Her name means Morning wing. ~.~) The letter read as follows.
Lord Sesshoumaru-sama,
There has recently had an assassination attempt on my life and that of Makuro-sama's. (Name doesn't mean anything but I liked how it sounded.) It was made, by a certain Hanyou. One by the name of Naraku. We thought nothing of him when he first entered our lands, so we just sent a few of our guard to get rid of him. The guard's bodies were found the day after. After that Makuro became interested in what he was up to, but before he got the chance to send any spies after him, we were attacked by a Miko that smelled of death, earth, and bones, and a young youkai exterminator that carried a sickle and chain. After the failed attempt to kill us the disappeared in a cloud of purple poison gas we later identified as 'miasma'.
We have sent letters to the other lords and ladies, and some of the lesser lords and ladies, of this happening and would greatly appreciate if you would attend a meeting on the night of the full moon at our castle, to discuss how to deal with this Hanyou. Please send us a messenger if so. Thank you for your time.
Lady of the Southern Lands,
Asahane
He thought about this for a moment before he sent a messenger. 'So. The human gone Hanyou has become more of a pest than I thought. And he used the undead Miko and brother of the youkai exterminator that travels with Inuyasha to try and kill Maruko and Asahane. Hmmmm. why would he use those to instead of some of his lesser youkai?' He was pulled from his thoughts as he sensed the human girl coming towards his study. She slowed her pace about ten feet from the door and hesitated while right outside it. He sighed and before she knocked he said, "Come in."
She opened the door and closed it behind her. When she turned around he locked gazes with her. She looked away and said, "If you are busy I can come back later." He cut her off, "Speak. I am not busy." He was a little busy, but he wanted to know what she had to say, for some odd reason.
****Kagome's P.O.V****
She walked over to his desk and took a deep breath. "I need to continue my search for the shards of the Shikon no Tama. I need to find them because if your brother completes the jewel, they will not be able to purify it. Kikiyou is not the Miko she used to be. While she is still more powerful than me, her powers are no longer pure and she would only succeed in tainting the jewel further. Also, I think that instead of becoming full demon with the jewel, Inuyasha would wish for Kikiyou's soul back. And it would kill me. I can't do that to Shippou. He won't be able to go through it again." She trailed off and looked at Sesshoumaru who looked like he was thinking about it. He looked at her and said, "You do know that I basically own you and you cannot leave without me letting you. And that you will not be able to get the rest of the shards on your own." She looked away and nodded. "And yet, you still want to search for them, even if you may die?" She smiled and said, "Well I have 2 choices, stay here and know that I am going to die, or, try and find the rest of the shards before they do and have at least a chance to live."
****Sesshoumaru's P.O.V****
She faces death either way and yet she does not care for herself, but rather that little kitsune. He inwardly smiled at her bravery and determination. 'Maybe I should accompany her to look for the shards. It would be. interesting. And I'm sure we will meet up with my brother along the way, giving me the chance to kill him. "I will allow you to search for the Shikon shards but, I will accompany you."
***Kagome's P.O.V****
Kagome was very confused, and that was putting it lightly, "But. why would you want to come with me?" She looked at him quizzically. He smirked, and that almost made her shiver. "It would be.interesting, and it would give me a chance to kill my stupid half-brother." Kagome's eyes became lifeless pools of blue. "I won't stop you." She turned around and said. "I will let you decide when we will start looking for them. I will be getting ready to leave for Kaede's village." With that she left to go to the bathhouse and bathe before they left.
When she was done bathing, she went to her mother's room to tell her what had happened with Sesshoumaru and to say goodbye. After that she went to her room to get her pack and put a few things she would need. After she got her pack packed, she was about to leave her room to find Sesshoumaru when Jaken showed up. "Human! Sesshoumaru-sama is at the front gate. You will not keep him waiting!" Kagome sighed as she stepped over Jaken. She walked to the front gate where Sesshoumaru was waiting with Ah-Uhn, Rin, and Shippou. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru and asked, "Why are we bringing Rin and Shippou?" "Shippou wanted to say goodbye to your friends also and Rin wanted to go with Shippou." Kagome was taken aback. 'Since WHEN has Sesshoumaru ever done something someone else wanted?!?' She didn't show her surprise but instead smiled. "I'm sorry Shippou, I hadn't thought you wanted to say goodbye to Sango and Miroku too! Well, I guess it's a good idea to bring them along, considering Jaken looks grumpier than usual." Sesshoumaru turned around and motioned to the saddle on Ah-Uhn's back. "Get on." Kagome looked at him and then got onto the dragon's back wordlessly. Shippou clung to her pack whilst she was doing so. Sesshoumaru picked Rin up and put her on the Dragons back, in front of Kagome, but didn't get on. Instead he gathered his red mist below him and started flying in the direction of Kaede's village while Ah-Uhn followed. Kagome, not being afraid of heights like her mother, enjoyed the view from above the forest.
****Sango's P.O.V****
Sango was just getting out of a hot spring near Kaede's village when she heard a twig snap to the left of her. She wrapped a towel around herself and snatched up Hiraikotsu. She already knew who it was so when she threw her boomerang at him she yelled, "HENTAI!!!!!!" She heard the distinct thud of Miroku hitting earth unconscious. She caught her boomerang as it came back to her. She quickly got dressed and as she was walking back in the direction of Kaede's hut, she promptly stepped on Miroku's waking form. Out of habit she looked at the sky as she was walking. That was when she spotted it. There was a large 2-headed dragon, and a figure dressed in white on a red cloud, flying in the direction of Kaede's village. She had identified the person in white as Sesshoumaru, and the dragon as Ah-Uhn. Then she noticed the two figures with black hair on Ah-Uhn's back. One word ran through her head. 'KAGOME!!' She raced in the direction of Kaede's Hut and when she got there, she burst ion through the front and yelled at Kaede, "Kagome's back!" Kaede promptly looked up from the herbs she was sorting and quickly walked out of the hut with Sango in time to see Ah-Uhn land gracefully on the edge of the forest near the hut. Kagome jumped off the dragon and run towards Sango.
****Kagome's P.O.V****
Kagome jumped off Ah-Uhn and ran towards Sango and Kaede. She basically tackled Sango, almost knocking her over. "Saaaaaaannngggoooooooo!!!!! I missed you so much!" She let Sango out of her bear hug to catch her breath. "Where's Miroku?" As if on queue, Miroku appeared out of the forest and said, "It's good to see you Kagome-sama." He walked up behind her and she felt a hand on her, ahem, ass. Kagome stiffened. "Miroku." *gropegrope* "Yes Kagome-sama?" "You've got exactly one second to get your hand off my ass and run." Miroku quickly withdrew his hand but before he could get a step away from her.
SMACK!!!!
BONK!!!!
"HENTAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!" Kagome looked at a twitching Miroku with a small irritated smile. "He'll never learn will he?" Sango looked at her sympathetically. "'Fraid not. Where've you been? We asked Inuyasha and all he did was 'Keh' and walk away, we haven't seen him in two days!" just noticing him Sango asked, "Uhhh. Kagome?" "Yeah Sango?" "What the hell are you doing with Sesshoumaru?!?!" Kagome sighed, "It's a long story we should probably discuss over tea. I'll be back in a minute." Kagome walked over to Sesshoumaru. "Inuyasha obviously didn't tell them what happened so I'll be a little while longer than I thought." Sesshoumaru looked at her with indifference. "Fine, but be quick about it." She smiled and said, "Arigatou Sesshoumaru-sama!" She was about to leave when Rin piped up. "Can Rin go with Kagome-Chan Sesshoumaru-sama?" Sesshoumaru took one look at Rin's puppy-dog face and could not say no. "Yes you can Rin." Shippou hopped onto Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome, Rin, and Shippou walked over to the hut where Sango, Miroku and Kaede sat waiting for her. She told them everything. (leaving out the dream of course.) After she had finished, Sango was trying really hard not to kill or break anything within reach, while Miroku sat with a slight scowl on his face. "Gomen nasai, but, I cannot stay here. I need to look for the shards, and I don't want to confront Inuyasha. I don't even want him to know I was here." Sango looked up at the friend she had come to know as a little sister.
"We will miss you greatly Kagome-chan. I, Kaede, and Miroku." Kagome gave them a small sad smile. "I will miss you all too. Oh! Before I forget. I've got some things for you." She pulled out a bottle of cucumber-melon shampoo and conditioner and handed them to Sango. "I had a feeling that that would be the best gift for you. I had some trouble thinking of something for Miroku until I found this." She pulled out a small 5x9 picture frame that had a picture in it of Sango and Miroku smiling at the camera. She handed it to Miroku. "Now I didn't have to much trouble finding something for Kaede." She pulled out a long bronze/gold colored chain that had a circular pendant, which held the symbol of a healer on it.
"I am very sorry, but, I have to leave you now. I have a feeling Inuyasha will be back soon." Said Kagome. Then Sesshoumaru spoke from the doorway. "My half-brother approaches. If you do not wish for a confrontation, I suggest we leave, now." Kagome said some hurried goodbyes and hugged her friends. Sango said before she left, "Goodbye Kagome-chan. My little sister." Kagome had to fight to stop tears spilling from her eyes. "Goodbye Sango-chan. My big sister." She turned and hurried out of the hut. But before she could go to Ah-Uhn. An all to familiar voice spoke up.
"Well, I didn't expect to see you here so soon."
Kagome froze at the voice she turned toward it and stopped.
"Kikiyou."
I know, cliffy! But sometimes it's just so hard not to write a cliffhanger! I won't post the next chappy till I see sum reviews! Even if I do break my promise to update every day. (unless FF.net decides to be a pain in the ass. -_-;;)
Sesshoumaru: Will I get to kick my half-brother's ass in the next chapter?
Me: Maybe, maybe not. Now if you're a good helper and help me respond to the reviews, I might let you.
Sesshy: Good. It's the 6th chapter and I haven't killed anything yet. I'm getting impatient!
Me: Don't worry Sesshy, you'll be able to kill in do time.
Ja!
