Love's Labour Lost Chapter 10
"Inuyasha, it'll be fine." Sango assured him noticing that he was once again staring at the fang from the now obsolete rosary.
"Sango's right. We will be back at Kaede's soon enough and we can decide upon what course of action to take" Miroku added.
"I know, I just can't believe I said that to her. Even more that she didn't 'sit' me. Oddly enough, I don't feel right without the rosary..." Inuyasha trailed off.
"Well it is all your fault" Shippo managed out between sniffles. "If Kagome doesn't come back I'll never talk to you again!"
Kagome, How do I always manage to hurt you so much?
Before Kagura knew what was happening, Naraku's puppet fell in many, many pieces before her eyes as the poisonous whip returned to its owner in the shadows. As Sesshomaru slowly entered into view Kagura's breath caught in her throat.
So it is true, the demon Lord does have feelings for this girl.
"Kagura" Sesshomaru's cold voice interrupted her thoughts "return to Naraku and tell him if he wants this girl he better be prepared to come himself and stop sending his pathetic puppets and incarnations to do his busy work." As he finished he turned on his heel and marched over to Kagome's still form.
I smell blood, dammit she's bleeding from the hit she took.
Sesshomaru lifted Kagome in his arms and turned to leave. "What are you still doing here?" He snarled to Kagura.
"Why are you helping Inuyasha's wench?" Kagura inquired stiffening at the sound of Sesshomaru's snarl.
"She is not his wench and I do not have to answer to the likes of you."
"Very well. Beware Sesshomaru, Naraku will not rest until he has that girl. Kikyo is gone now, Kagome is now his object of desire." Kagura left her final warning as she took off into the night on her feather.
I should get her back to the castle, she can heal there. At least my brother's stupidity has proven lucky for someone. Sesshomaru mused as his cloud formed beneath his feet and he took of towards his castle with Kagome held in his arms (Bridal style).
"Inuyasha Look!" Miroku shouted, noting Kagura's retreating form from the forest.
"Kagura!" Inuyasha snarled, "What the hell is she doing here?!"
"Inuyasha, isn't she leaving the forest, near the well!?" Sango observed.
"DAMMIT! If Naraku got his filthy hands on Kagome he will regret it" Inuyasha bellowed as he took off towards the well. "I'm going to check on Kagome. Sango go after Kagura and stall her!"
"Right, Kirara!" Sango called as she took off after Kagura.
As Inuyasha landed he began to sniff the area.
There's Kagome's backpack. Dammit she didn't take it home, or she didn't make it home in time. Wait, I smell blood, Kagome's Blood!
Inuyasha, failing to notice his brother's scent (because he's dense and too concerned with Kagura at the moment to truly pay attention) shoots off to catch up with the group, running faster than he ever has.
"KAGURA!" Sango yelled releasing Hirakotsu bringing the wind demon to land on the ground.
Sango and Miroku hopped off of Kirara's form as they took a defensive stance against Kagura.
"Ah, the monk and demon exterminator, what a surprise" Kagura calmly mused. "What can I do for you?" She mocked.
"Why were you leaving the forest?!" Sango yelled.
"Actually, I was sent to kill that priestess of yours and take her jewel shards"
"B-But, I have the jewel shards" Shippo stuttered out afraid for the safety of his 'mother'.
"Oh what a shame. I guess that confrontation was of no importance" a small smirk appeared on Kagura's lips as she took in their expressions.
"KAGURA!" Inuyasha screamed as he brought down Tetsaiga to strike her. Nimbly dodging Kagura managed to get away without a scratch.
"So poised" She mumbled.
"WHERE IS KAGOME!"
"Not at the well anymore?" Kagura inquired, playing with Inuyasha.
"I SMELLED BLOOD! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HER?!"
The idiot is too enraged to notice his brother's scent. How amusing. Perhaps I will play with them awhile.
"She got away, hmm perhaps Naraku shouldn't have left her to die. She must have had more strength left in her than I imagined" As she finished her sentence Kagura sent a strong wind twirling through the field catching the whole group off guard as she made her escape.
"If you want the girl Inuyasha, you are attacking the wrong foe. Naraku nor I have the girl. Perhaps if you weren't such a stupid half-breed you would've known who took her." Kagura called after them as she smiled at the pathetic form before her.
Miroku pulling himself off the ground and dusting himself off, turns to his side and aids Sango by lifting her Hirakotsu off her form. Inuyasha was staggering to stand after being thrown back by the force of the wind.
"DAMN HER!"
"Inuyasha, what did she mean by that?" Miroku inquired "If Naraku doesn't have Kagome, then where is she?"
"I don't know, but I am not going to rest until I find her!"
"Shippo, what is it?" Sango inquired noticing Shippo lost in thought.
"No-nothing Sango, I just miss Kagome" Shippo lied.
I didn't just see what I thought I saw did I?
"Oye runt! Hurry up" Inuyasha called tearing Shippo out of his thoughts.
"I'm coming Inuyasha!" Shippo called, taking one last glimpse to the West.
A/N: I'm sorry, this chapter didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to. I meant for it to be more, well just more. I hope you'll stick with me. It'll get better I promise.
