Hey all, thanks for the reviews. Just to let you know, I don't own Inuyasha, but I have kidnapped some of the characters and I promise to return them safely.
Chapter 6
Kagome sat in her room at her vanity and brushed through her long brown hair. She thought about what almost happened earlier out on the range, that Sesshoumaru almost kissed her. She then thought to herself, 'I wonder what he does under the Lord that requires him to see all these important people.' She continued to run the brush through her hair when she heard a knock at the door. She put her brush down and then went to the door and said, "Yes?" She opened the door and saw the toad youkai standing there. "The Lord will see you now." "Oh really, that's great." She went to pick up her bow and arrows, but then stopped. She turned to him and said, "Why all the sudden does he want to see me?" "I do not question the Lord; I just do as I'm told." Kagome shrugged her shoulders and then picked up her bow and arrows. She then went to the vanity and picked up her mother's necklace and put it on. Jaken then lead her out of her room and to the meeting room.
Jaken pushed opened the doors that lead into a large room with no furniture except for a chair at one end of the room. Kagome dropped her bow and arrows and gasped when she saw who was sitting there. "Sesshoumaru, you're the Lord!" She then remember the book she saw with his picture. She mentally slapped herself that she did make the connection. She walked closer and said, "Why didn't…" "Silent!" Kagome stopped where she was and looked at him all confused and was about to ask why he was acting like this, but then he said, "Why did you come here?" She answered in a cautious, "I…I wanted to know who I am." He raised his eyebrow and said, "You don't know who you are?" Kagome shook her head and then he said, "I'm not one to be fooled with and right now you are lying to me." Kagome took a step back and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not lying." Sesshoumaru stood up and shouted, "Liar!" He then launched an attack at her, but Kagome was quick to dodge it. Sesshoumaru swung around and threw another attack, but she blocked again.
Kagome blocked the next attack and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not lying to you!" "Don't play stupid. You know exactly what I'm talking about." He attacked her again and she dodged it and then rolled on the ground over to her bow and arrows. With in a quarter of a second, she had turned back around and held an arrow ready to fire. "Take one more step closer and I'll pin you to that wall behind you. You may be fast, but my arrows are faster. Now, tell what is going on." Sesshoumaru didn't move from his spot and said, "You killed my father. You killed him ten years ago, but you left your scent behind of sakura blossoms and I never forgot it." "If you never forgot my scent, then why did you let me into your castle and almost kissed me." "That's not important. What is important is that you killed my father and that's all that matters" "That's a lie. I never knew your father or this tribe. My entire life I have been by my adoptive mother's side. Besides, why would I kill someone I don't know." "You tell me." Kagome held her ground and said, "I'm telling you the truth, I had nothing to do with your father's death." Sesshoumaru stared deep into her grey eyes for a moment, but all he saw inside them was truth and innocence. Sesshoumaru back up a bit and Kagome saw that he wasn't going to attack, so she lowered her bow. She stood up, but keep a firm grip on her bow and arrow. "Leave my castle." Kagome thought that the way he said it was almost as if he was hurt. Kagome didn't want to anger him anymore so she bowed and then turned to the door and was about to leave when Naraku appeared in front of her.
Naraku shook his head and said, "Sesshoumaru, I'm disappointed. She should have been easy for you to handle." In a blink of an eye, he wrapped his hand around Kagome's neck and lifting her off the ground. His nail caught the leather string of her necklace and it broke and the necklace fell to the floor. "Well, I guess if you want something done, you have to do it yourself." Kagome gasped for breath, but then felt Naraku applying more pressure to her neck. She gasped harder, but all sudden fell to the floor. She breathed in heavily and placed her hand on her neck. She looked up and saw Sesshoumaru standing were Naraku was. She then felt that her necklace had fallen off and she looked around for. She saw it and quickly grabbed it and placed it in her pouch. She then heard Sesshoumaru say, "No plays Sesshoumaru for a fool. You have crossed a very dangerous line Naraku." Naraku laughed and said, "So I was the one who killed your father. Big deal. I've killed many people and wiped out an entire tribe." He looked at Kagome and said, "Your mother's scream was breathtaking." Kagome's eyes went wide and said, "What? No!" "She pleaded to my ogre to spare her life before he slit her throat." Kagome lowered and softly said, "No." Tears rolled down her cheeks and then she heard, "Thou your stupid adopted mother had to butt in before I could take what I came for." Sesshoumaru growled and was about to attack Naraku when he barely noticed the arrow traveling extremely fast. It was moving so fast that Naraku failed to move out of the way. It struck him in the center of his chest and it had such force behind it that it pushed him back a few steps. The pain forced Naraku to kneel on one knee. He looked at Kagome and said, "You bitch, you will pay for that." Kagome took another arrow and fired, but before it struck Naraku, he disappeared out of the room. The arrow impaled itself into the stone wall where Naraku was.
Kagome dropped her bow and then lowered her head. Tears began to fall again and landed on her lap. She then felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Sesshoumaru standing next to her. "I'm sorry; I know what it is like to lose a family." "Thank you." She placed her hand on his, but then stood up. She picked up her bow and quiver and then passed by him and out of the room. Sesshoumaru turned and watched her walk out of the room. He then turned back to the wall where Naraku was and looked at the arrow stuck in the wall. He couldn't believe how much Kagome had suffered in just one day.
Well, this chapter is done. Next one up soon. Review.
