Chapter 8 : The Truth Revealed
"Rin"Jaken called out as Rin turned to him with a puzzled face.
"Nani Jaken-sama?" Rin asked curiously.
"I need you to do me a favor" Jaken said as Rin listened closely.
"I want you to talk to Sesshomaru. Talk to him about anything. Oh, and mention Kagome. Don't stop until he tells you something about Kagome" Jaken stated as Rin nodded.
"Jaken-sama?" Rin asked.
"Nani?" Jaken sighed.
"Does Sesshomaru-sama like Kagome onee-chan?" Rin asked as Jaken sighed.
"That's what I'm trying to find out Rin" Jaken replied with a deep sigh. With that, Rin then went off, running after Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked curiously, scoping the forest, looking around for Sesshomaru.
"Rin, what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru asked as he walks up to her.
"I..I..I just wanted to talk to you Sesshomaru-sama. We haven't talked in awhile" Rin said with a smile as Sesshomaru sighed.
"Sit Rin" Sesshomaru ordered as he then takes a seat under the shade of a huge tree.
"Hai!" Rin exclaimed cheerfully, sitting next to Sesshomaru.
"Well? What is it?" Sesshomaru asked curiously as Rin then looked down, playing with her fingers.
"Uhm, Sesshomaru-sama, it's just that..I...I..wanted to ask if we'll be traveling with Kagome onee-chan again" Rin said, opening the topic about Kagome as Sesshomaru smirked.
"Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked as Rin calmly nodded.
"I don't think so. The possibilities are very thin" Sesshomaru sighed as Rin was puzzled.
"What do you mean Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked curiously.
"Well, the thing is, as soon as they defeat Naraku their's a possibility that Kagome will return to our own time. If not, she'll be staying with Inuyasha and his friends" Sesshomaru explained.
"Then we can still meet with her!" Rin exclaimed in excitement.
"Hmph. That would be bad" Sesshomaru grunted as Rin looked confused.
"Why would it be bad?" Rin asked.
"Because I promised to kill Inyasha if we meet after he gets rid of Naraku" Sesshomaru replied as he then stood up.
"Demo, Sesshomaru-sama, do you really want to kill your brother that badly?" Rin asked worriedly as Sesshomaru turned away.
"Sumimasen Rin. But I can't tell you. Only one person knows for sure" Sesshomaru said as he then began to walk away, disappearing in the woods.
A few minutes later, Rin came back to the camp as Jaken rushes to her.
"Well?" Jaken asked curiously as Rin was puzzled.
"Nani Jaken-sama?" Rin asked as Jaken sighed.
"What did Sesshomaru-sama say about Kagome?" Jaken asked delightly as Rin tries to remember.
"Not much really" Rin replied with a smile.
"Rin" Jaken grunted as Rin looked at him.
"Nani?" she asked.
"Did you even open the topic about Kagome?" Jaken asked in disappointment.
"Uh, slightly. But it all changed to the topic about his brother" Rin replied with a fake smile as she scratches her head.
"Rin! It was all for nothing!" Jaken shouted out.
"Gomen ne" Rin smiled as Jaken sighed and shook his head.
"I might as well do it myself" Jaken stated as he then turned away.
"Ah-un, watch over Rin" Jaken commanded as Ah-un nodded. With that, Jaken then walked away, heading towards Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken called out as Sesshomaru suddenly jumped in front of him startling Jaken.
"Nani Jaken?" Sesshomaru asked bluntly as Jaken shrug.
"Uh, Sesshomaru-sama, I just wanted to ask you a few questions" Jaken said as he began to sweat panickly.
"Why are you suddenly getting curious Jaken?" Sesshomaru asked.
"It's because your behavior changed for the past few days Sesshomaru-sama. So please, just answer my questions!" Jaken pleaded as Sesshomaru gave him a glare look.
"What do you want?" he asked as Jaken hesitantly wiped the sweat off of his face.
"Well Sesshomaru-sama, ever since we took Kagome captive, you've been acting rather strangely. You usually leave me and Rin lately and we don't take too much travels anymore. You even already gave up in killing Naraku and gave everything we've worked for to your brother, Inuyasha. And after Kagome went back with their gang, we've been keeping an eye on them, camping near their camp, watching every move they make. You haven't even shown any want for tetsusaiga anymore and you've also stopped looking for reasons why your father gave you tenseiga. What's wrong Sesshomaru-sama? Is there something else that's on your mind?" Jaken asked curiously as Sesshomaru looked down.
"Or maybe that something is someone" Jaken stated.
"Someone in my mind?" Sesshomaru asked himself.
"You're falling for her, aren't you Sesshomaru-sama?" Jaken asked curiously as Sesshomaru turned to him in confusion.
"Falling for who?" he asked.
"Don't act like you don't know. You're falling for Kagome!" Jaken exclaimed as Sesshoumaru's eyes widened in shock.
"Kagome?" he asked himself as a picture ofKagome then flashed in his mind.
"You do love her. How troublesome" Jaken sighed as Sesshomaru turned away.
"Jaken, I don't know what I feel for Kagome but there's I have this strange feeling and I usually think about her" Sesshomaru said as Jaken smiled.
"That's love Sesshomaru-sama" Jaken grinned as Sesshomaru then gave Jaken a glared look.
"Jaken" he called out as Jaken jumped in fear.
"Hai Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken shouted out, his body uncontrollably shaking in fear.
"What we've discussed is just between you and me" Sesshomaru stated as Jaken gulped and nodded.
"If someone knows about this, I won't hesitate to use toukijin with you" Sesshomaru continued as Jaken's jaw fell wide open. In that instant, Sesshomaru then walked away, leaving Jaken in shock. But what they didn't know was that a few of Naraku's poison bees were watching them closely. Everything the bees saw and everything they heard was channeled in Kanna's round mirror as she showed the unbelievable scene to the almost healed, Naraku.
"So Sesshomaru's heart has light after all. Interesting. A girl stand between the brothers. This is getting better and better" Naraku stated as he then laughed, planning a despicable trick to lure the two brothers with the use of the shy but attrave girl, Kagome.
