Okay so here's my third chapter guys, please review and enjoy. Oh and by the way, there's a certain character I decided to use from one of my other stories. Those of you who read them will be very pleased, though he will be slightly different.
"Shippo for the last time where did Kagome go?" Inuyasha's patience had worn thin long ago and one could see such by counting the numerous lumps on the kits head. Seething in anger, for Shippo refused to answer Inuyasha tossed him from the tree he had leapt in so that he could avoid Sango's angry wrath.
"Inuyasha that is not the way to receive answers from the kit." Miroku scolded gently, no matter how angry he was at the foolish hanyou.
Sango on the other hand allowed rage to flow over her entire being. She also let it slip from her mouth. "Inuyasha you can be such a stupid jerk! Stop hurting Shippo or I'm going to hurt you!" With that Sango tossed a dagger toward the half breed. He screeched while jumping away, but not before it took a few strands of his silver hair.
"What the Hell was that for!" The indignant cry rose from Inuyasha's lips, catching Sango ears and only causing far more anger to erupt.
"You know damn well what it's for!" The demon slayer walked from the spot in a rush so that she would not kill the boy.
"Excellent Inuyasha, you made my Sango vengeful and what's worse, she cursed you. Now you shall assuredly visit the chambers of Hell." Miroku after spooking the male slightly walked from the area in order to find his beloved. Now that the two were man and wife Miroku, in Inuyasha's opinion, was even more of a fool.
"Damn it Kagome where are you?" The wind that blew seemed to answer Inuyasha's question. "Sango, Miroku let's get moving Kagome's with that wimpy wolf!"
Shippo chuckled evilly. "Oh so she didn't tell you Inuyasha?"
"Tell me what!"
Shippo's grin grew. "Oh that she accepted Koga's offer since he's always saying how pretty she is, how much he loves her and that he would never hurt her. Unlike you Inuyasha, always saying that she "ain't" pretty, that you love Kikyo and you're always hurting her with your words." The hanyou's eyes bulged slightly as many emotions slid over his being. Sadness, anger and confusion were the main feelings felt by he but fear was the most predominant.
Inuyasha turned from his allies and ran through the woods trying his best to catch the wolf far ahead of him. Sango mounted Kilala, along with Miroku and Shippo, before falling there emotional friend. Of course all were angry with him, but they could understand his sadness, except for the deceitful Shippo.
Koga allowed Kagome to slip from his arms as they each arrived at Sesshoumaru's gates. The sun had almost sunken below the horizon causing the sky to be a bloody red and dark orange. "Thanks Koga, I appreciate you carrying me but we're two days early." The wolf could sense the worry flowing over Kagome's body entirely.
"If you're an ally everything will be okay." The miko nodded to her friend but still felt nervousness. "You don't need to be nervous Kagome, I'll protect." This caused the girl to smile.
"I know that Koga and I give you my deepest gratitude." As she spoke guards began to surround the inner gate.
"Who are you and what do you want with our western lord?" All the fearless men spoke in unison. Koga laughed which didn't seem like the best idea for these youkai were all very powerful. Each carried markings signaling how strong that they were and that of course caused Kagome to become slightly frightened. "What are you laughing at fool?"
"Oh and why am I a fool?" Koga managed his question shakily between laughs.
"You dare come here with a lesser miko to challenge our lord, this makes you a fool!" The demon guards all nodded in approval.
Just as Koga was about to speak or strangle their necks Kagome intervened. "Lesser miko." The young woman shook slightly as her power began to radiate. "I may not be as strong as most but I will guarantee that you don't want to take me on."
Koga started laughing loudly as he stepped away from her powerful barrier slipping above her by its self. "Now you bring Sesshoumaru's stuck up ass out here and you do it now." Koga's humor then stopped. If Kagome cussed she was extremely rage full.
"Who are you to dare challenge a youkai's authority?" This caused Kagome's anger to rise farther than it ever had before.
"Sesshoumaru's ally that's who." With that Kagome threw the parchment into the gates. A male who picked it up chuckled. He hadn't been standing with the others moments ago Koga noted.
"Lady Kagome, Lord Koga you may enter. Do not mind these insolent beings." The gates opened in order for the two to pass. Both walked to the man who held the invitation with in his hand. "I am Akin, Lord Sesshoumaru's personal guard. Welcome to the western lands." He bowed to the both of them and Kagome did the same.
"My lady you must not give me such respect I am merely a protector." The young woman smiled sweetly to him.
"You are the only youkai here with manners Akin and so deserve to be given respect." Koga grunted as jealousy swept him.
Sesshoumaru had watched the entire encounter from within his study and found it amusing when Kagome became as angry as she had. Yet in order to keep his soldiers alive for another day he sent Akin to retrieve the young woman and her companion Koga. The demon noticed that Kagome took in this male's features. Akin held the darkest of green hair, alike to a forest, and apricot green eyes that seemed to almost transparent. Two medium green stripes set themselves in a manner that Sesshoumaru's ran but a third sliced through each and up to his eyes. Long mist like jade hair fell to the middle of his thigh, even when kept in a high pony tail. His kimono consisted of a dark green collar and light apricot, like his orbs, under shirt. Bone armor ran over his breast with nothing very significant slinking over it while toward the shoulder the armor branched out and around, two strips intertwining while remaining slightly spaced apart. His armor under the bone was of back volcanic rock and, do to the breed of demon he was, still remained hot. His sash was of light and dark green plane patterns. Akin carried no weapon for he believed that one should exert their power through touch of skin, not metal or wood.
He realized Kagome had viewed him just as closely so maybe she did such with every enemy or demon, human and hanyou she met. He also watched her features as they each neared his fortress. She seemed oddly amazed by its structure, but then again he did find it rather impressive himself. His house was at least three stories high and very vast. Black marble steps led to his home when raising the very high hill. Large, almost gigantic doors rose, the darkest brown of wood one would have ever seen.
As the sun set Inuyasha became angrier than before for his friends were in need of rest and Kilala probably couldn't move much farther. She needed a rest but he still desired to look fro Kagome, worried for her safety. Yet there again they were all probably so tired. "Look we're stopping here." Inuyasha halted immediately after speaking and leapt into a tree.
Sango and the rest of the odd group felt awkward but didn't argue with the male. They each, besides Inuyasha, weren't worried any longer sense, when they took a bathroom break, Shippo told them that Kagome had really gone to speak with Sesshoumaru. Yet still there always was a small hint of fear that maybe the demon lord was tricking the group. "Miroku do you believe Kagome's alright?"
The monk who was currently cooking the group's meal smiled. "I will not say yes nor shall I say no for I truly don't know about this predicament."
This of course did not help Sango any. "Thank you Miroku." The male cast his blue eyes to her small retracted figure. A pain shot through his heart to find her wrapped in a blanket of despair and so he wrapped his arms around her body. Sango relaxed quickly into his embrace and almost fell into slumber but had to speak a small sentence. "I love you Miroku."
"I love you as well my dear Sango. Now rest peacefully." With that said the woman shut her eyes and drifted into her dreams.
Shippo had fallen asleep upon Kilala and Inuyasha was not to be seen. Miroku decided that he would merely save dinner until morning came. He wrapped the meat in a bundle and fell asleep with his wife in his arms.
"Kikyo what are you doing alive? I thought you had died and went to Hell." The half breed stood before his beloved.
"Kagome revived me with more of her soul than necessary. Yet still, because of this sudden abundance in life and emotion I was afraid to see you, to fulfill my promise and take you into Hell with me." Tears, though her eyes were slightly cold, fell down the side of her face. "I want to live with you and share the life we had."
The priestess then ran the remaining ten feet to Inuyasha in order to hold him to her. At first he was to shocked to move or to breathe but eventually his arms came about her body. "Kikyo I-I don't know what to say."
"Say you love me Inuyasha." The half breed smiled.
"I love you." As he spoke Kikyo remained within his mind, but Kagome was there as well. His thought's traveled between both women suddenly and Kikyo could feel it.
"It's alright if you do not know who you love." Amber eyes widen as her voice sliced through the night. "I love you and have faith Inuyasha." Kikyo pulled from him and brought her lips to his. Inuyasha felt warmth, he felt Kikyo and Kagome as one and so he kissed his love back. He kissed with a fiery passion that burned her body deeply, hooter than flames that were used to recreate her. Kikyo found her self pinned against a large tree and noticed Inuyasha's sudden need, his closeness. She pushed him away. "Not yet, not until you know." With those words she parted as quietly as she came.
"Who do I love, Kikyo, Kagome who is it that I want to have?" Inuyasha starred at the silent moon shining upon the earth that he walked on. Great confusion and desperation suddenly filtered through him in an almost painful way. "What do I do?"
Kagome had a hard time adjusting to the dark chamber Sesshoumaru had allowed her to sleep in. The room was large and beautiful yet at the same time it felt so very dreary when one is alone. The bed was of a dark blue quilt and lightly, sky blue sheet. Patters of flowers slid over the walls and sealing while two tables sat near the bed. Flowers were also engraved over there legs as well. A furnace, unused by the woman, sat on the opposite side of the room. The miko stood at the sliding doors which led to a balcony and so she stepped onto it, wishing for the warm breeze, cooled by the evening, to fall over the entirety of her being.
She was not greeted by a breeze but in stead by the eerie moon light yet it was enough company. The thin folds of her clothing allowed for enough air to flow through with out there being need of a breeze. The stars lit the night beautifully causing a smile to fall over her face in the serenity of night, yet the smile was bitter.
"Do you miss your comrades?" The miko gasped at Sesshoumaru's deep voice from behind her.
Her heart hammered wildly. "You frightened me." He said nothing, most likely waiting for an answer. "Yes and yet no I don't yet do miss them."
"That I suppose makes an amount of sense." The young woman smiled at his answer. This of course confused Sesshoumaru.
"If I may ask, what are you doing up so late?" Kagome had stopped looking into his amber eyes; they reminded her far too much of a certain hanyou.
"Demons require far less sleep than any human." The young woman nodded before walking to the edge of the balcony. "Do you not fear falling from such a height?"
Kagome laughed slightly. "Oh no I had once but not any more. I kind of enjoy them." The young woman bent further over the railing. Sesshoumaru suddenly detected the odor of Sake.
"Human do you have a single intelligent thought in your mind?" As Kagome turned toward him her hand slipped and so she began to fall backward. Sesshoumaru of course had no trouble catching her before she were to fully slip from the third floors height. As he held her tightly in his arms she smiled. Her hand wandered to his face and if Sesshoumaru had his other arm he would have stopped it.
"Why do your eyes have to remind me so much of him?" Tears slipped down her face as the hurtful words of Inuyasha returned fully. The sake wasn't working as well as she had hoped.
"I am not Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru bent forward, extremely close to her face. His eyes held no emotion and were brighter amber in the night than Inuyasha's, whose demon aspect was dulled by the human blood. The lord's were far more alike to a predator's.
"Oh. Thank you for clearing that up." As she spoke the last word Kagome felt sleep over taking her. Sesshoumaru watched as her form began to drift away into the land where dreams hid one form pain and sorrow or could bring them farther into their living nightmare. She seemed so very peaceful, so happy and yet so sad.
"Akin come from the shadows." The demon stepped forth before bowing low in immense respect. "You shall stand guard over this miko every night and will personally protect her every day. I will allow you rest when it is needed, is this understood?"
"I understand my lord." Sesshoumaru laid Kagome in her bed and then walked across the balcony to his room.
Akin stood over Kagome and smiled before lifting her cover over her body. "Welcome to the house of the west miko."
