Chapter 6: Seeing Many Shades Of Red
Guest Room Sesshomaru's Castle
"Good morning, Kagome. Please get up out of bed so we can dress you
in this light blue kimono and yellow obi. Then you and Rin can go eat
breakfast, then wait in the gardens until you and Sesshomaru can go on
your journey," said Faye with Rin by her.
Kagome took the sleeping kimono off and put the soft light blue
kimono on. Faye tied the yellow obi around her waist.
"Kagome, let's fix your hair." Faye took the comb and combed the hair
up into a bun with thick strands left down to frame her face. Then she
put some light blue eyeshadow on
Kagome and something to make her lips shine.
"Kagome's pretty." Rin smiled happily.
"Now you and Rin go eat and go to the gardens."
Bone-Eater's Well
Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara woke up to see Inuyasha
coming out of the tree line.
"Shippo, whatever happens, stay by Kirara," Miroku said in a
whisper.
"Kirara, protect Shippo at all cost," Sango said petting
Kiara's head.
"What the hell are you doing here this morning? By the looks
of it, you slept here all night!" Inuyasha sneered.
"Well good morning to you too, Inuyasha!" Sango said. "Why are you
here early this morning, Inuyasha?"
"I'm here to see if Kagome's scent was here
to indicate if she'd come back or not. If not, then I'm going to drag
her back."
"Inuyasha, you were going to give her until just afternoon. You
still have six hours left, judging by the sun," Sango stated.
"Well I'm staying right here on the lip of the well and waiting for
her to come back." Inuyasha started to walk closer to the well.
Seeing Inuyasha was not going to give up and was walking
towards the well, everyone stepped back and kept walking away, trying to
get some distance between them, the well, and Inuyasha before he touched
any part of the well and without letting him know something was up. Just
then, Inuyasha touched the well. The shock wave from touching the
barrier threw Inuyasha into a near by tree.
"Mirokuuuuu! What did you do?" Inuyasha jumped back up and
ran over and pinned Miroku to a near by tree.
"I put a barrier around the well so you could not go to Kagome's era
before the said time. We had a feeling you would try." Miroku said,
trying to get air.
"Then you can just take down the barrier," yelled Inuyasha.
"I can't, the barrier will stay in place untill the said time. So
it's useless to argue. So we might as well head back to Kaede's hut for
the time being," Miroku stated as he walked away from Inuyasha.
Garden Sesshomaru's Castle
Time passed by fast for Kagome and Rin. They had played many games,
and walked the gardens while Kagome told Rin the different names of
flowers. They were now sitting under a huge Japanese dogwood tree
talking, not knowing that Sesshomaru was in hearing range.
"Kagome-sama, could Rin ask you a question?" Kagome nodded her head
to say yes. "What does
Kagome think about Sesshomaru-sama? Are you going to be Sesshomaru's
mate? Are you going to have Sesshomaru's babies?"
Kagome became bright red in the face, while a the same time
Sesshomaru stopped dead in his tracks behind a tree, wanting to hear her
answer the questions. Kagome was trying to slow down her heart so she
could answer her. "Well I don't really know him that well, Rin. But
since I've been here for six days, I've gotten to know him a little bit.
He is nothing what his half brother tries to make him out to be. He's a
deep mystery to me, he's polite when he wants to be, he's very alluring,
desirable, gorgeous, and very handsome and I'd very much would like to
get to know him more." "If he'll let me," she thought. "As for me
becoming
Sesshomaru's, mate there's no way that would ever happen because I'm
human and he's a youkai and he wants a perfect mate and that would not
be me. Because look at me, I'm nothing compared to the beautiful youkai
females that are out there! Now as far as having Sesshomaru's babies,
that would never happen because he would not want any of his pup's to
have what he calls, 'tainted blood,' like his half brother. But don't
get me wrong, Rin. I'd love to have a chance to be known as 'his woman'.
What girl wouldn't want to be known as 'Sesshomaru's mate'?
Sesshomaru was standing behind a tree. "The miko is right and wrong
about what she said. She's right in saying that she would not be my mate
because I don't want to be like my father and choose a human as a mate.
Also, to have pups that would be tainted would be a disgrace, even
though there are ways around that to have pure-blooded pups. Father did
not take that into thought when he took Inuyasha's mother as a mate. The
part about her being unattractive and ugly, she just needs to be shown
other wise. She needs a real youkai to show her what it means to feel
wanted and not by a hanyou." Sesshomaru stepped from behind the tree and
walked up to them.
"Sesshomaru-sama." Rin jumped up and ran over wrapping her arms
around his leg. "Kagome and Rin were talking and she told me that she
thought Sesshomaru-sama was handsome and she would love to be 'your
mate' but that you would not want her to be, and you'd not want her to
have your babies either."
Seeing the Kagome was turning bright red again, he said, "Rin, go
into the castle and find Jaken and tell him that I said to play with you
and watch over you until I get back. And that if any harm comes of you,
he'll surely pay with his life. Now go, Rin." He watched as Rin ran
towards the castle waving to Kagome.
Kagome noticed her bag that Sesshomaru was holding. "It's time we
left." Forming his cloud they were lifted to the sky.
"Sesshomaru, could we stop in the village so I can get Shippo?
Inuyasha will take he's anger out on Shippo, and he's just a child."
"Yes, we'll stop at the village and I promise I'll not KILL anyone."
He smirked.
"Sesshomaru, I wanted to thank you for saving this lowly human and
bringing me to your castle to be healed. I hope I did not overstay my
welcome." She looked up at him.
"I did not mind you falling asleep against me. After all, I did
frighten you pretty bad because you've only seen me that angry once
before. Also, even though you're human, you're very welcome about me
saving you and letting you heal in my home. No, you did not overstay you
welcome. You're welcome to come back anytime you'd like. You'd be
protected on my lands and my home. Now get ready, we're almost there."
Kaede's Hut
"We have company! A very powerful youkai is heading this way fast."
With that said, everyone ran outside, just in time to see Sesshomaru
land in front of everyone with Kagome in his arm.
In unison everyone said, "Kagome!"
"Are ye ok child? What happened to ye?" Kaede said, walking to
Kagome, wary of Sesshomaru but giving her a hug.
"I'm fin…" Before she could finish, Inuyasha spoke
"What the hell are you doing with that fucking half brother of mine?
Seriously first it's Kouga, now it's my lame half brother, Sesshomaru.
Are you trying to make yourself a list of guys?"
"INUYASHA, SIT!" Kagome screamed, full of rage.
Then she told the group what had happened and told them that Sesshomaru
took really good care of her while at his castle. "Now we must be off. I
came here to get Shippo so that Inuyasha will not take his anger out on
Shippo while we are in my era. I told Sesshomaru about my era, and I am
going to show him and Shippo."
"He's already did hurt me, Momma, the day we thought you went home.
He kicked me across the hut, and I hit the wall hard," Shippo said
"He did WHAT?" Kagome started to glow a pale pink color.
"Yea, what the hell can you do about it? You're nothing but a
fucking weak jewel detector, and over half the time we have to protect
you in battle as well as well as fight. You're a worthless human. So do
not even think about taking me on, little girl, because you'd be so easy
to KILL, and you know it to be true!" Inuyasha started cracking his
knuckles.
"She won't have to take you on, little brother! I'd gladly do that
for her." Sesshomaru stepped
forward and pushed Kagome towards the monk.
"So you want that other arm cut off as well, I see, or maybe a leg
or two. Oh, even better, how about your head. I'll then shove my sword
into that black ice heart of yours after I cut off your head. Sounds
like a great plan," Inuyasha grinned.
"I'm going home and will be gone for a while." She turned and walked
towards the well.
"Kagome, here are some sutras to put on the well, where NO hanyous
can come through. It's the best I can do," Miroku said sadly.
"Thanks, Miroku. That will be a great help." Kagome gave him a hug.
"INUYASHA, SIT, SIT, SIT, and SIT!" Looking over to Sesshomaru who
was sheathing Tokijin she asked, "Are you ready to go? When we get to
the well you need to wrap your tail around me and Shippo and hold us
tight, not letting go," she said. "We've got to get to well before
Inuyasha is able to get up."
Without even blinking, Sesshomaru picked them up and they were out
of the village and on the lip of the well. "Was that fast enough for
you, Kagome?" Sesshomaru chuckled.
"Yes! Shippo, hold on tight to me. Sesshomaru, please hold onto me
tightly and don't let go."
"I'll hold onto you with my life." Sesshomaru said as they jumped into
the well.
When they landed on the ground in her era, Sesshomaru did not let go
but jumped out of the well still holding them.
"Sesshomaru, please let go. I need to put these sutras on the well
so Inuyasha does not follow us." Kagome put the sutras all around the
well. "That will do it. Now let's go, so I can introduce you both to my
family. Remember, Sesshomaru, No Killing," she said, pointing at him.
"Yes, this Sesshomaru remembers his promise very well!"
