Chapter 16: Ambushed
Garden Lord Loren's Castle
"Inuyasha I want you to hide in those bushes and when I give you the
clue I want you to come from the bushes picking Kagome up by the neck
and throw her into that tree there. The clue will be 'belongs to me'
then after she hits the tree walk over and pick her up and pin her to
the tree. Then search her for the shards.
"What if she does not have them with her?" Inuyasha asked.
"Then she'll be taught a lesson about protecting the Jewel shards once
and for all." Kikyo said.
"As well for what she did to me this morning as well." Inuyasha
growled.
"Inuyasha, hide. she'll be here soon." said Kikyo in spite.
Inuyasha ran behind the bushes and crouched down ready to pounce on
Kagome when Kikyo say's the clue. Just then Kagome came into the
clearing and stopped by the bush Inuyasha was behind when she saw Kikyo.
"Oh Kikyo, have you seen Ginta anywhere?" Kagome asked. "I was to meet
him out here."
"No sorry, I've not seen this Ginta anywhere. But I'm glad that we met
so we could talk without being interrupted." Kikyo smiled evilly at
Kagome.
"Yes, I'm thankful that Lord Loren invited me here but my place is
with my friends at the village." Kagome sighed.
Meanwhile, Jaken, thinking that the conversation was boring, closed
his eyes.
"Kagome, why do you insist that Inuyasha has
feelings towards you? When you see he turns to me and not you. His
soul's mine. He cares nothing for you. You're just a shard hunter to him
and that is it." Kikyo moved to her a bit.
"I know he's yours that is why I've stopped trying. I have my own life
without worrying if someone likes me or loves me or not." Kagome said.
"So you've finally came to realize that Inuyasha belongs to me."
With that said Inuyasha sprang from the bushes picking up Kagome by
the throat and throw her into the tree before she could say a word. She
hit the tree side first and heard a load cracking sound. Then she hit
the ground. Kagome tried to get up but was in pain. When Inuyasha picked
her back up, his claws grew longer. He pulled his hand back and brought
it forward, pushing his claws into her flesh and pinning her to the
tree. She screamed out in pain.
Jaken jumped when he heard the scream and saw Kagome pinned by his
master's half brother. "Shit, got to get master fast." Jaken said
running to the castle. He ran passed Ginta, Kakkau, Kouga, and Loren and
did not stop.
"Jaken, what's wrong? Who screamed?" Kouga questioned.
"Need to get Sesshoumaru before she die!" Jaken said running up the
stairs.
"What do you mean die? Who?" Kouga and Loren asked.
Jaken rushed into the chamber "Sesshoumaru-sama, he's got her pinned to
a tree by his claws by the bridge, she's hurt badly!" Jaken huffed and
puffed.
"What do you mean he's got her pinned to a tree?" Loren.
"Inuyasha pinned Kagome to a tree by his claws!" Jaken yelled.
"Jaken, stay with the children." With that Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Loren,
and Ginta as well as Hakkau took off towards the bridge.
Meanwhile Inuyasha searched for the shards.
"She's doesn't have them." Glaring at Kagome.
"Where are the shards, you Bitch?" Inuyasha hit her face, causing one of
his claws to make contact to her and cutting her from cheek bone down to
her chin.
"Inuyasha, move and I'll release an arrow and pin her.!" But before
she could do it Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Loren, and Ginta and Hakkau showed
up.
"Inuyasha how dare you do such a thing." Kouga yelled and was about to
attack Inuyasha when Sesshoumaru caught a royal purple light go around
Kagome. "Kouga…STOP. Look, what do you see?" Sesshoumaru said.
Thinking that it was her miko powers starting to come forth.
"What do you mean?" Kouga looked.
"Around Kagome. Do you see the light around her? Her miko powers are
starting to come forth and I thought she would want you hurt. When I
give the ok, stand between Kagome and them." Sesshoumaru said.
"Inuyasha move out of the way now!" Kikyo said as she released the
arrow and Inuyasha moved his body out of the way but still had her
pinned with his claws. The arrow went passed him but instead of hitting
Kagome, it was somehow knocked away and suddenly Inuyasha found himself
flying backwards without anyone touching him.
"Now go stand between them and her." Sesshoumaru said. Everyone was in
total shock when Kagome came off the tree laying flat in the air and
floated over to Sesshoumaru as if someone was carrying her and was laid
in his arms. The light remained around her.
Loren grabbed Inuyasha and Kouga grabbed Kikyo. While Sesshoumaru ran
to Kagome's chamber with everyone following him. Upon reaching Kagome's
chamber, Sesshoumaru looked over at Ginta and said "Ginta go next door
watch the children and have Jaken bring me Tensaiga. Do not let the
children out of that room, HURRY!" Sesshoumaru said as Ginta ran out the
door while Hakkau and everyone stood there watching what was going on.
Waiting for Jaken, Sesshoumaru opened her kimono to look Kagome over.
Upon opening the kimono blood oozed out of her side. He pressed his hand
on the wound to try to slow the bleeding when he felt her broken ribs
and that one was poking halfway out of her side. Along with that,
she had a cut along her face caused by a claw. At the sight of this
Sesshoumaru's eye's bled red and was glowing.
"Ahhh...what's wrong brother? Is your human playmate hurt?" Inuyasha
laughed.
Growling, Sesshoumaru flew up and went towards Inuyasha when the scent
of roses and lavender appeared between him and Inuyasha.
"Sesshoumaru-sama look at the futon that royal purple light is getting
bigger and brighter and you can see a shape starting to appear!" Kouga
said pointing.
Sesshoumaru turned to see the purple was getting bigger and brighter,
and you could see a person sitting by Kagome. 'I know this person."
Sesshoumaru stated as he stood there starring in shock.
"Who is it?" Kouga asked.
