Cherry Blossoms and Snow

Chapter5 – Painful Encounter

When the glow disappeared they stood in a beautiful forestry type place. Flowers were everywhere, the grass was a beautiful healthy green and it was his home. Looking over at Kagome, Sesshoumaru smiled and closed his eyes. Never in his wildest dreams had he ever visioned he was the ruler of such a magnificent place.

"You OK?"

Kagome asked and he nodded.

"I'm fine, it's just that I'm the ruler of the beautiful place and I know nothing about it."

He said keeping his eye's roaming around.

"Sesshoumaru I need to go home before we go to yours. I need to get some things."

Kagome said crossing her arms in a frightened way.

"OK, but I'm going along with you."

Kagome's head quickly snapped towards him and her eye's were as wide as saucers.

"NO! No you can't. You might be older but if he's home he will surely recognize you!"

Kagome said her head bowed.

"I'm the Lord of this place; he shouldn't be able to do anything to me."

Sesshoumaru said and Kagome let her shoulders drop in defeat.

"OK, you can come. I know where we are, follow me."

Kagome said walking down the mountain they had appeared on and into a large village.

People were whispering their heads off as they walked threw the throng of people. They couldn't understand what they were saying but they apparently recognized Kagome.

"I told you I wasn't very liked at this place."

Kagome whispered as she glanced at the demons as she walked by.

She was right not one fox demon in this village had white hair they all had black, brown, orange and grey.

"I'm getting tired of this there staring at you like you have the plague." He whispered and she nodded.

"Well of course, I'm different."

She shrugged as she stopped at a certain hut.

"Here we are; my old home."

Kagome said as a demon walked up to them.

"What in the world are you doing back I had hoped you'd stay gone forever!"

The demon whined and Kagome snarled at the stupid demon.

"Oh, shut up do you really think I would have come back if I didn't have a good reason you jackass?"

Kagome growled as she turned away from the pitiful demon.

"Then what is your reason? It's not like the Lord and Lady sent you they've been gone for years."

The demon laughed and Sesshoumaru snapped at the demon quickly.

"Shut your mouth, you will not talk about my parents with such disgrace!"

Sesshoumaru said as he picked the demon up with one hand and the demon nodded as best as he could. Once Sesshoumaru released him he crawled to him and bowed repeatedly.

"I', so sorry my lord I didn't know it was you!"

He apologized and Sesshoumaru kicked him telling him to scram. He did just that and was gone in a flash.

"Have fun?"

Kagome asked as she opened the door and walked inside. As she searched a demons voice growled out at the two intruders.

"Who are you? Kagome, why the hell have you return?"

The voice of her father called threw the dark house. Kagome closed her eye's and took a deep breath as she tried to speak.

"I have come to get something of mine that mother gave me."

A small chuckle left his mouth as he came into view.

"Sorry, but I sold all your things."

"This isn't good."

She thought, sighing as she paced around.

"Mother said it was important that the Lord of Demon Paradise receive it or the demons of Demon Paradise and the humans would cease to exist!" "Father, do you remember who you sold a jewelry box too. You know the one mother gave me when I turned five?"

"Actually yes, I sold it too a wanderer. So there's no way you'll be able to get it back."

Kagome clenched her fist as she turned around to leave, but her father stopped her before she left. An evil sneer was placed on his face.

"Kagome, do you remember what happened to your mothers parents?"

"Of course I do."

She whispered and closed her eye's tears welling up in her eyes.

"Well, you had better find what you are looking for because if you don't."

He let that to real around in her mind as he walked out of the door and into the streets of the village. Kagome collapsed on the floor and she finally understood the meaning of her mothers words.

Well now I have finished chapter five. I'll start working on six soon.
