Chapter 12:: Trouble
"Rin Higurashi?"
Rin nodded, entranced by the beautiful golden eyes that lay only an inch or so from her own as a cascade of silky silver hair hid their faces.
"Y-yes, I'm Rin Higurashi. . ."
"You have something I have been looking for." The owner of the dazzling eyes said, obviously not noticing that she was acting strangely.
At his words though, Rin snapped from her trance and brought her head back inside the car window. "I have what?" She demanded as Sesshoumaru dropped from the roof of the car and instead stood in front of the window, watching her carefully.
"You have something I have been searching for, for over twenty-one years." He repeated calmly.
Rin raised en eyebrow at him. "I'm sorry, sir, but I have no idea what you're-" She stopped as she noticed the marks on his face and the weird shape of his ears.
"You're a youkai. . ." She said softly, staring at him.
Before he could answer, there was a crashing noise from the back of the line of cars that were waiting at the red light, and two were tossed aside carelessly.
Rin gasped as she looked back. "Oh my God. . .who. . . ?" She turned back, and saw that the youkai male that had been standing before her, clad in black was gone.
"Uh?" She asked, leaning out the car window and looking around for him curiously.
Her side door slammed and she whirled around to see him in the seat next to her. "Roll up your window and drive as fast as you can when the light changes." He ordered.
"What?! Hey! What are you doing in my car?!" Rin demanded of him.
"If you do not want these other humans to get involved in what is about to happen, drive." He said sternly, turning his gaze on her.
Rin huffed, angry. "Fine, but you had better explain what is going on while I drive."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Kagome gripped the wheel of her car tightly as she sped down the street.
"Ack! Kagome! Slow down! Why are we driving so fast anyway?!" Myoga hopped up and down on the passenger seat frantically.
A trickle of sweat ran down the side of Kagome's head, her knuckles white and shoulders tense. "Can't you feel them coming, Myouga-jiji?"
Myouga held still, despite the erratic movements of the steel monster he was riding in with the miko. Closing his eyes, he folded his four tiny arms together as he concentrated on sensing out youkai power.
Kagome had only driven for a few more seconds before his eyes popped back open and he looked at her, frantic again. "Kagome!! How did they-?!"
"I have no idea." Kagome grit her teeth. "I have no idea how they found out."
"But the barrier was perfect in every way, not even /b could tell what was happening outside of it." The flea spluttered.
Kagome sighed, trying to relax. "I know, but they had to have found out somehow. . .or they wouldn't be chasing us."
"What about Sango-chan?" Myouga asked.
"She's fine, don't worry about Sango-chan. I doubt they'll bother her since she didn't know anything about this. That's why I left. I didn't want her to get caught up in our problems."
Myouga nodded. "An honorable decision."
Kagome smiled despite the events at hand. "Yeah, yeah."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Well?" Rin demanded of the youkai after a few minutes of silence.
"Well, what?" Sesshoumaru replied coldly.
"What is going on here? What do you think I have that is so important?" Rin asked impatiently.
Sesshoumaru wasn't quite sure of the answer himself. He was sure she would laugh if he told her that some inner voice had urged him to search non-stop for twenty-one years, that he saw a light illuminating her and hadn't forgotten her face since. In fact, he wasn't sure if she even knew of The Council either.
"We are being chased by The Council." He replied flatly, expecting her to question him.
"The Council?!" Rin's eyes bulged. "What did you do to get The Council after you?!"
"I said 'we', not 'I'." He corrected her. "And I had a few confrontations with minions of theirs that tried to arrest me."
Rin sighed, running one hand through her hair. "Great, just what I need. Now I'm an accomplice."
"They were coming for you too anyway."
Rin was silent, taking that in, though she inwardly questioned why. "You didn't answer my other question."
Sesshoumaru became slightly uneasy, something he didn't like. 'Damned humans.' He cursed in his mind.
"I do not plan on answering it."
Rin made a face at him, angered. "Why not?" She demanded of him.
"It is not important right now." He said, getting a bit angry himself.
"Yes it is." Rin protested, not looking at the road. "It's important to me, I want to know why you've been looking for me since I was born."
"Pay attention to your driving." Sesshoumaru ordered. "And I have not been looking for you since you were born."
"I'm almost twenty-two, yes you have."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Ack!! Kagome watch out!!"
Kagome swerved to one side, other cars honking as a youkai flew out of nowhere and attempted to bash her car windshield in.
"Oh Gods!" She gasped; mouth agape as the youkai hit the pavement, nearly getting hit by several other cars in the process.
Her heart beat wildly; breath coming in short gasps.
"Where can we go?! We can't get away!!" Myouga cried almost helplessly, jumping onto her shoulder and wailing in her ear.
Kagome shook her head, looking around for some shred of hope. "I don't know Myouga, I don't know."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The icy scream of the youkai's nails sliding against the metal of Rin's car filled Sesshoumaru's ears.
Rin jumped away from her door with a scream as the ugly face of the creature leered through the window at her.
Smirking widely and revealing all of it's crooked, yellow teeth, the demon wasted no time in slamming a fist through the car window and reaching for the girl with it's clawed, scaly hand.
"Rin Higurashi, you are under arrest for fraternizing with enemies of the Council, and withholding information on illegal youkai protection." It proclaimed as Rin screamed leaning away from him and trying to fend off his attacks.
Sesshoumaru, unable to draw his blades, reached over and grabbed the face of the youkai, smirking knowingly at the frightened look that suddenly appeared on the youkai's face as he froze.
"Dokkasuo."
Rin gasped as the inu youkai that was leaning over her's claws and hands started to glow green before the face of the enemy youkai started to melt away. "Yeek!"
Sesshoumaru grinned evilly as he flexed his claws, crushing what was left of the skull and releasing so that the corpse flew back out the window.
Rin watched in amazement, not noticing that the car was swerving wildly, and other cars were honking.
Sesshoumaru grabbed onto her shoulders and sat her back up after using his 'poison flower claw' to clean what was left of the youkai off his claws and hand.
"We won't go much farther in this car, pull over." He ordered as Rin regained control of the wheel with a startled gasp.
Rin did as she was told, forgetting the groceries in the back of the car as she got out and examined the damage. "That thing tore up the side of my car! I don't have the money to fix it either. . ."
Sesshoumaru smirked. "That's hardly what you should be worried about right now. There are more coming, we have to get moving again."
Rin raised an eyebrow at him. "Why do I have to go with you?"
Sesshoumaru wasn't used to holding such long conversations with humans, and was getting agitated quickly. "You ask too many questions."
She gave him an exasperated look. "Well you never answer me! I don't know what is going on!!"
Sesshoumaru took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. "We are being chased by The Council. And by the way things are going, it looks like they've pulled all the plugs, and don't care if they have casualties, or if they kill us either." He told her in a tight tone.
She was silent, looking at the deep, long cut in the metal that the youkai had made with his claws, and the small punctured holes that were made from where he had gripped on as he had tried to pull her from the vehicle.
Sesshoumaru looked up at the sky, not liking the stares the humans passing by were casting their way. "We have to leave now. The human guard will be here soon with reports of your driving and the multiple attacks." He said sternly, referring to the police.
Rin bit her lip. "But. . ."
She gasped as he hooked an arm around her waist and took to the air, the cars and roads below becoming smaller and smaller as the air got colder and colder.
"Oh. . .my. . ." She said softly, gripping his arm tightly with her hands as she looked down.
Sesshoumaru was silent, his silver hair flying back in the wind. 'I can't believe I'm carrying this stupid human around.' He grunted inwardly.
'But I certainly don't see what happened to that light I saw around her before.' He mused, looking sidelong at her as she peered at the vanishing ground below. 'Where did it go? Is she hiding it?'
He watched her steadily from the corner of his eyes for some time, leaping and bounding, and noticing that she was nervous the entire time. 'She can't be hiding it, I can't smell a trace of a lie on her anywhere. . .'
Rin gripped his arm tightly with her hands. "Do we have to travel this way?" She asked nervously.
"Yes." He said flatly.
"But. . ." Rin bit her bottom lip again.
They were silent; the air rushing past them making a harsh whistling noise in their ears, though Sesshoumaru was used to the sound and easily blocked it out.
Worried, Rin clung to his arm tightly, wishing she wasn't caught up in this mess. 'Oh, Kagome-chan. . .I'm sorry about the groceries. . .'
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Funny, of all the things in the world to be worried about, Rin can only think about the groceries. Rolls eyes. . .
