More Surprises
Chapter Three
Kuwabara looks at Kagome, "Kagome?" Kagome looks at him again and her eyes widen, "Bar-bar?" Kuwabara manages to look sheepish as he nods, the name surprising him since she hadn't used it since they were young. Kagome's face splits in a bright grin, "You've gotten very very tall cousin. Come give me a hug you great big monkey." Kagome starts chuckling and holds her arms up and he comes over and hugs her picking her up and swinging her around. "Long time no see Kagome. Have you finally put on weight?"
Kagome flushes slightly, "You baka I'm not fat I'm pregnant. Please put me down." Kuwabara sets her down gently and starts looking around, "Where's the father I'll kill 'im." A sad look filters across Kagome's face as she lays a hand on the mark again, "You are too late for that Kuwabara. My mate is already gone." "What kind of man gets a girl pregnant then leaves her?" Kagome begins to glower at him but Kuwabara doesn't notice, "My mate had no choice, He's dead." Kuwabara steps back and bows his head, "Sorry Kagome."
Kagome nods stiffly, just once though. "Forgive my harsh words cousin, but I do wish to know just what kind of man finally was able to capture your heart." Kagome smiles again and winks, "Garden variety silver inu. Come Kuwabara mother will be most happy to see you. Though I must warn you that mother is seriously ill, not outwardly but inwardly. I'm glad you came to see her now since she may or may not have much tim left." Kuwabara nods, "Lead the way Kagome." then he pauses thinking back to the others, "What of my friends Kagome?"
Kagome glances over at them, her gaze cool and calculating unknowing that her eyes had changed slightly and had deep rich amber ringing her pupil that fades to the warm honey brown of her eyes which surrounds the amber. Her eyes settle on Yuusuke first, 'Demon, type unknown. high class. Danger: questionable.' Then her eyes fall on Kurama, drinking in his features, 'Avatar. Kitsune possibly. high class. Danger: Low.' Kurama has to supress a shiver having those two-toned eyes on him as Kagome shifts her attention to Hiei, 'Demon. Conflicting elemental. Powerful. Danger: potentially high.'
Turning her attention back to Kuwabara, "They may come but I give this warning only once, they cause any, and I do mean any, issues I will slit their throats." Yuusuke having had enough steps forward, "Yo you don't need to threaten us." Kagome rounds on him, her aura flairing and red sweeping into the corners of her eyes, "I do not believe I was talking to you. Still your tongue." Kagome's voice could have frozen blood it was so cold and also identicle to her departed mate's, the slashes on her face become slightly ragged looking as her anger surfaces. Kuwabara finally notices the marks and opens his mouth again, "Hey Kagome, when did you get the tattoos?"
Kagome turns back to Kuwabara, "They were my mate's markings, when he died they for some inexplicable reason they transfered to me, along with his ablilities. Come Kuwabara, lets go see mother." Kuwabara nods and she heads back towards the house her temper smoothed and the marks smooth out again as well. Yuusuke takes the chance to ask Kurama softly, "Wasn't there once a demon lord which had those markings?" Kagome doesn't even glance over her sholder, "My mate was the last pure silver inu. Take care what you say about him, I'm not in a forgiving mood."
Yuusuke's eyes widen slightly, 'She could hear me from that distance?' Finally it clicked for him, the lands no one could breech yet the inhabinants came and went as they pleased, the palace under some sort of shield that would allow no one inside for the past 500 years, presumably the palace was waiting for it's master or mistress to return. Testing his theory he anwers, "Forgive me Lady Kagome." When she nods once her forgiveness he gives himself a mental pat on the back for figuring it out, the lands and palace were waiting alright, waiting for Kagome to come and claim her throne. A small smile creeps onto his face as he walks forward, boy would Koemna be suprised when he learns of this. Kurama suddenly halts his step, 'Lord Sesshomaru died 500 years ago, how could she be his mate?'
