Through and Through
Chapter 6- Taking Care of A Rebellion 1
Disclaimer: Last thing I heard I didn't.
They stared in a shocked daze at the rebellion in front of them. Rin's knees where shaking to the point that they no longer could hold up the thin girl.
"No…" whimpered Rin in disbelief. 'Some things not right, but what?' thought Kagome to herself, 'We need a plan, some thing that'll give us the upper hand in this soon to come battle,' declared Kagome to her self.
"Some things not right here," Kagome said voicing her inner thoughts out loud.
"W-What do-do you m-mean?" whimpered Rin.
"Look around why wasn't anyone from the city come? It's a city full of demons and so why haven't they heard or smelt anything that is accruing down here?" Kagome wondered out loud.
"I-I guess, but-but…" stuttered Rin.
"No, No buts, this isn't like any kind of rebellion I've heard of or seen," said Kagome in a clearly confused voice. Rin sniffled; she looked towards the ground by the rebels' feet, not wanting to see the faces of the men that were out to kill her lord father. Then her eyes widened how could they leave out the strange colored mist the surrounded the stable and the rebels feet.
"The mist!" cried Rin as she shot to her feet. "It must be blocking out the sounds and scents of the up coming battle!"
"Yes that could be it! Rin I think you've got something here!" praised Kagome. 'But… where the hell is Sesshomaru?' Kagome wondered to herself, she didn't voice this question out loud in fear of breaking Rin's spirit once again. "So if the grass green mist blocks out all noise and smells then what does the dark purple mist, surrounding the stables do?"
"Oh no!" cried Rin as she dashed towards the stables.
"Rin stop! That's poison!" yelled Kagome as she ran after the blindly crying Rin. Rin throw open the wide doors of the stable, the purple poison darted towards the worried girl. Kagome tackled the girl from behind and held her close to the ground where the poison returned into the stable to finish its job on it's already victims.
"I need you to calm down, you can't be mush help if you're dead," whispered Kagome into Rin's ear.
"But Lord Sesshomaru is in there! We can't just let him die! If we let him die then we'll be traitors! I don't want that to happen to either of us!" said Rin in a horse whisper. You could hear the sobs that she couldn't cry.
"The poison can't kill him, it'll only paralyze him, that poison was meant for weaker demons and humans," whispered back Kagome.
"How-How do y-you know?" asked Rin.
"A long time ago I meet some poison makers and they told me a lot about poisons and how to find the traits by the colors," soothed Kagome. Rin weakly nodded.
"If this is a rebellion then why paralyze him, why not just kill him?" asked Rin.
"Many reasons, one they might want to kill someone that he cares about killed in front of him and then he could not do a thing, maybe they want to have him never knowing what is going on with his city or you… and there are many more," suggested Kagome.
"Then what are we going to do Kagome?" said Rin softly.
"We save him," said Kagome boldly.
"But how?" asked Rin. Kagome didn't answer she slowly got off of the now calm Rin. Rin then also sat up. Kagome reached into a pouch that was attached to her sash. She unattached the pouch and took out two things.
"What's that?" questioned Rin. Kagome handed her one. It was bandanna, a plain white bandanna. "What's this suppose to do?"
"It will block out the poison from entering our month and nose," she said simply. She tied her bandanna behind her head, like the way the future cowboys of the west would wear their bandannas. She place Shippo onto the ground, he looked really confused but on look into Kagome's eyes and he knew what to do; 'Wait Here' she was saying, he nodded obediently. "Come on, we have to get him." Rin nodded and quickly followed Kagome's example and tied her bandanna the same way.
"Ready?" asked Rin. Kagome nodded. They quickly and quietly went towards the stable doors. They entered and looked around to find the fallen lord and whoever was in the stable also. "Over there!" came Rin's muffled voice called.
Quickly they went towards where Rin had pointed out. Sesshomaru was leaning on a two headed dragon. His eyes where barely open, at his feet laid a knocked out toad demon. The two headed dragon seemed to be un-paralyzed.
"Can you move?" Kagome asked the dragon. Both heads nodded in unison. "Good, then I am going to need your help to get these two out of here, alright?" Both heads nodded again.
Rin was kneeling beside Sesshomaru looking for any wounds. Kagome walked to the toad with swirls in his eyes and hoisted him onto the dragons back. Then she to kneeled beside him.
"Lord Sesshomaru, are you alright?" asked Rin again. Sesshomaru just moved his eyes to look at her, in assuring way.
"I'm sorry milord, but I'm going to have to move you on to the dragons back, then we can find a safe place to stay until you regain all feelings, which should take the rest of the night," stated Kagome, "Rin can you help me?" Rin nodded and grabbed on of his arms and helped Kagome lift him on to the dragons back. Slowly she urged the dragon to stand up and then move towards the doors. Shippo soon reclaimed his spot on Kagome's shoulder.
"There is a protected clearing just over there," said Shippo pointing towards some thick trees that would be hard to get around and fly over.
"Perfect!" whispered Kagome, "Do you know how to get into it?"
"Yes see that waterfall?" asked Shippo pointing towards the east. They still had a couple of minutes before the barbarian army could get into the clearing totally.
"Yes," said Rin.
"Go behind the falling water then you'll see a tunnel, it'll lead you in to that clearing from the ground so you shouldn't be surprised that the tunnel goes downwards," said Shippo wisely. Kagome nodded.
They had marched into the field. The 50 in the sky landed beside the 50 that had marched. One thing that had caught her attention was that they all had the same glowing sun yellow eyes. She scanned the 100 soldiers looking; searching for one that had a different eye color. She had found only one. He was stood at the last rank of the army, a twisted smirk was on his face. He had the same eye color but his did not take up all of the white of the eye.
'What is going on?' thought a confused Kagome. Next to her was Rin and the two headed dragon name An Un. 'Are they…?' she never finished that thought because just then the rag tag army attacked. Rin hurriedly put up a strong barrier around herself and An Un, she would have reached it out to Kagome but she had already disappeared into the ranks.
Kagome stood in front of a twisted looking man.
"What are you doing to them?" asked Kagome.
"What ever do you mean?" he asked.
"What are they?" she asked.
