Chapter Seven: The Attack
That night Kagome cooked her new husband some dinner. She actualy enjoyed cooking. It reminded her of living back home with Mama and Souta. "This is very good." Sesshoumaru complimented. "Thank you." Kagome took a bite. It wasn't horrible. But she didn't consider it to be any good either. She wondered if Sesshoumaru would try and make love to her tonight. I really don't want to do it. I don't even love Sesshoumaru. She thought to herself.
After dinner Kagome was laying on the couch of the cabin and Sesshoumaru had gone for a small walk. Kagome thought alot about Inuyasha and the other girl. Why did I get so upset about it when we weren't even officially together yet? I don't know, I think I should just forgive him, I mean, I love him. I really do love him. Her thoughts were inturrupted by Sesshoumaru opening the front door. He looked over to her and smirked. "Come with me."
Kagome followed Sesshoumaru deep within the forest. They walked for a little while until they finaly came to the alcove Sesshoumaru had wanted to show her. It was a beautiful opening with a hotspring and a small waterfall in the corner. It was surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers, and the moon lit down perfectly onto the water's surface. Making the whole thing shine. Kagome could not help the smile that came to her face over the sight. It was the first real good thing to happen to her all day.
Kagome sat down on the hotsprings edge and dipped her fragile feet into the steaming waters. Sesshoumaru began to take off his armor and clothes, not being a bit shy about his body he got into the hotsprings naked, relaxing some. This made Kagome turn her head away, being the prude little girl she was she didn't want to see Sesshoumaru nude. It also made her uneasy and nervous. After a while Kagome told Sesshoumaru she would meet him back at the cabin and left. Sesshoumaru waited a little while longer before getting out and heading back.
Later that evening Kagome was getting ready for bed in the bathroom. Sesshoumaru, wearing nothing but some silky undergarments was already in his bed reading a book with some intellegent looking reading glasses. Kagome walked out of the bathroom wearing Inuyasha's favorite pastel pink spaghetti strap nightgown.
Sesshoumaru had to double glance at her beauty. Kagome hesitated before climbing into the large soft bed and laid down with her back facing Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru could feel the tension between them and decided to speak up about it. "Nothing has to happen all week if you are not ready for it." Kagome let out a relieved sigh and said. "Thank you My Lord." Sesshoumaru set his book down, turned out the lantern, and laid on his back to fall asleep.

"My Lord Inuyasha! My Lord Inuyasha!" Jaken screamed down the narrow hallway. While Sesshoumaru was gone, Inuyasha was left in charge of the Kingdom. Inuyasha flung his door open and screamed out. "What is it you over-grown peice of snot?"
"The former Queen has been kidnapped!" He yelled back, ignoring the rude insult at the moment. "What?" "Servants of Naraku are invading the castle!" Naraku, Sesshoumaru's sworn royal enemy. They had been threatening war between each other for decades. Now that Sesshoumaru was off on his honeymoon, it was the perfect time for attack.
Inuyasha could care less about the old hag. She was not HIS mother after all. Sesshoumaru was only his half brother. But he knew Sesshoumaru would give a damn about this foul news. A big damn. Inuyasha grabbed his old sword out of his chest of weapons in his room and went through the castle, slicing through every enemy he saw. He sent Jaken out by horse carriage to inform Sesshoumaru of the invasion. Jaken left through all the mayhem.
Inuyasha came down a corridor when he heard the high pitched, blood curdling scream of a young girl. Inuyasha ran into the room to see Rin, being beaten by a very muscular man. "My Lord!" She screamed out to Inuyasha. "Release her now." Inuyasha demanded. The man just laughed. "Or what?" Inuyasha could see that the man had a fake mechanical arm which was almost as big as his sword. This man was like a giant. Inuyasha growled. "I'll kill you!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome was outside the cabin snipping roses when Jaken finaly pulled up. She stood up, curious what could be wrong. "My Lady! My Queen!" Jaken yelled. Sesshoumaru came out of the cabin hearing all the yelling. "The castle! It's under attack by Naraku! He has kidnapped the former Queen!" Sesshoumaru's eyes widened and he grabbed Kagome by the arm, she dropped all her flowers and Sesshoumaru picked up Jaken on the way towards the carriage, he pulled the two of them into the carriage, leaving everything behind, and he charged the horses to go their very fastest. Inuyasha... please be okay. Kagome thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The muscular man was winded and tired of Inuyasha dodging all his moves. So he reached over and pressed a button on his mechanical arm, causing it to transform into a sharp blade. Inuyasha hit his arm with his sword and then swung back, wailing his sword around in a spin, he sliced the man's head clean off, causing blood to spray all over the poor frightened Rin. Inuyasha leaned down to her and put his sword down. Placing both hands on her arms he looked her directly in the eyes and said. "Rin, do you know where we keep the prisoners?" She nodded frantically. "Go there and hide, GO NOW!" The child took off running.
Inuyasha had to check on the servants, he ran to the lower area of the castle, where the servants lived. There were enemies here and there and Inuyasha went to the first room where there was screaming. Inuyasha opened the door to find two enemies sexualy attacking Ayame. He quickly killed them and told Ayame to gather as many servants as she could and take them down to the dungeon and hide. The hell are all our soldiers? And guards? Inuyasha thought. Probably outside guarding what they can of the castle. Inuyasha ran through every room, killing any enemies he came across.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome finaly arrived and saw a battle field mainly at the front of the castle. "Kagome, stay here." Sesshoumaru ordered and took off into the castle. Like hell I'm staying here. Kagome thought. Inuyasha is in there! She waited for the perfect opportunity and then bolted towards the back of the castle, in the direction of where her room was. "My Lady Kagome!" Jaken screamed.
