And my friends have been acting like, well, I'm going to keep this clean. cough-bitches-cough Once again, I am really sorry!!
On with the story
He murdered my family. He did it. He killed them all. These words played themselves over and over in Kagome's head. A memory suddenly came to her.
"Mama, papa, I can't sleep." A seven year old Kagome whispered as she slowly opened the wooden door to her parent's bedroom. It was dark so she couldn't see much but it was clear that her parents weren't in their bed. "Mama? Papa? Where are you?" Kagome's voice quivered slightly as it sliced through the sound filled silence. Carefully, she made her way out of the room and crept down the hallway leading to the stairs. A scream pierced the still night air. That sounded like mama! Kagome hurried down the steps, tripping on the way. She stumbled into the kitchen and screamed at the scene in front of her.
Her parents were slaughtered ruthlessly in front of her, making it rain crimson blood. Her father's head had been severed from the body, blood gushing out and there were also numerous cuts all up and down his dead corpse. Her mother was screaming hysterically, "Oh my god, you killed him! You killed him!" But then a flash of metal swung down, slitting her slim neck, causing her accusations to gurgle in her throat as blood spurted out all over the floor. Her infant brother also lay in a pool of blood.
Kagome's scream had now died out and now she couldn't make a sound. Glancing around, she saw a shadow form of a man. She started to glow an unearthly blue and her eyes rolled up in her head, anger rolling off of her in waves. Then a surge of pure energy came forth. The figure in front of her created a dark barrier and stepped back, disappearing into the night. As the energy died out, Kagome sank to the ground, unconscious. Her last thought was I will kill the man that killed my Mama and papa and Souta.
It was the next day that the villagers found out and made a burial for her parents. But there was one lady that pulled her aside. "Kagome." The women whispered.
Staring at her, Kagome asked, "Who are you?" She peered at her expectantly.
"I am Kaede. Kagome, your parents deaths are not just random murder."
At the mention of her parents, Kagome's young, cerulean eyes started to brim with sorrowful tears and her bottom lip started to tremble. Kaede observed this with sympathy. Perhaps I should wait until she is older to tell her. But I do believe she has the right to know at least who it was the brought her honorable parents to their deaths. Kaede decided. "kagome, do you wish to know who killed your parents?"
"Yes!" Kagome answered, voice full of anger and determination.
"Very well. It was Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western lands."
"But why did he kill them, Kaede-san? My parents were good people!"
Kaede sighed. "Yes child, they were. But Sesshoumaru is a ruthless killer and your mother was a powerful miko. He hates mikos and your mother was known to be the protector of the shikon Jewel." With that, kaede reached into her sleeves and produced a round, pink translucent jewel. "She had a feeling that she was soon going to be killed soon and asked me to protect it when she died. Kagome, despite how young ye are, I am sure ye can understand the importance of this jewel. And as the daughter of the protecter, it is now your job to be its protect it. I will teach ye the ways of a miko. I know that one day, you will become as great as your parents."
Kagome just stood there silently and listened closely. She was far wiser than the average 7 year old. Mind made, she took a deep, cleansing breath and answered confidently, "Of course!! And I will avenge my parents by killing Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western lands!"
Kaede chuckled and said, "Very well, very well."
---End of memory---
Kagome struggled to keep from losing her control. Her eyes welled with angry tears. Sesshoumaru frowned. Something was wrong. Her scent was suddenly filled with anger and sadness for, in his opninion, no reason. Perhaps she is insane. He thought dryly. But he put the thought aside. "Girl, hurry up. You are wasting my time."
But she didn't move. Slowly, she raised her head to meet his eyes. "You. Killed. Them." Kagome had a hard time getting the words out, as if it had a mind of its own.
Annoyed that she wasn't bidding his command and then declaring random murder of him, he grounded out through clenched teeth, "This Sesshoumaru will not be spoken to like that. And stop your blabbering. I have many more important businesses to attend to. So if you don't move, I will make you move." His eyes flashed dangerously.
Kagome pov
She was still having a hard time realizing she had wanted to help the man that killed her family, beside the fact that she had also thought his eyes were beautiful. But when she raised her head to look at him again, she saw nothing but coldness in them.
Sesshoumaru's last statement gradually registered in her mind. Make me move? No, I will not be dragged around. Wait, If I go with him, I would be closer to him and it would make it easier to kill him. He also said he was going to train me. Fine. He will train his excecutioner. With that, kagome gathered her thoughts and stumbled her way to Sesshoumaru as he formed a cloud lifting them away.
Normal pov
The wench had finally walked toward him. His patience had worn to but a thread. He picked her up and rose higher and higher into the air. Kagome looked down at the ground before her and suddenly felt sick to her stomach. She had left without saying anything to kaede-san and her friends. They were sure to be really worried. But there's nothing to do about that now. She thought with gloom. They flew for about an hour when a great castle came into view. The view swept her breathe away as she stared at the marvelous beauties. Flowers of every kind were planted in the garden beside the castle. There was also a sparkling blue pond where the sun's rays spilled across. You'd thought he lived somewhere with black walls, dead grass and bones spilled across the ground. And a garden? Jeeze.
Kagome thought sarcastically. Abruptly, they landed about 10 feet from the entrance.
Suddenly, out of the blue, a whirling ball of energy flung herself at Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru-sama!! Sesshoumaru-sama! You're finally home! Rin missed you!"
Kagome gawked. Here, this HUMAN girl is clinging to SESSHOUMARU and yelling that she missed him and all he is doing is standing there? But then, looking closer, she saw that he even had a small smile on her face. But at that moment Sesshoumaru seemed to come back to reality and a cold distant look was replaced back on his face. He tuned toward her and said, "Rin, this is Kagome. She will now be you're teacher and playmate. You will be expected to listen to her at all times."
Rin glanced at Kagome. She gave a great, big, happy smile at her and hugged her. "Yay!! The pretty lady is Rin's teacher!! Can you play with Rin now?" She was practically bouncing with excitement. No, she IS bouncing with excitement.
Kagome couldn't help but giggle at the little girl's cuteness. She was also able to see that she adored Sesshoumaru and felt a bit guilty that she would be taking him away from her. But that thought went away as quickly as it came. "Sure Rin. I'll play with just as soon as I get settled in, alright?"
"Okay!" With that Rin hopped away, looking for Jaken.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome and announced, "Follow me. I'll show you where you will be staying."
