It wasn't
long before we arrived in town, it was bustling with activity.
Children were running here and there, merchants sold their goods. The
air just crackled with energy, it was my first time in a real town so
I was kind of excited. My awe of seeing such a big place where so
many people were must have showed in my face.
"Impressed
huh?" Said
Inuyasha with a smirk "This
is one of the biggest towns around here."
We got off the horse and walked
towards what looked like a shrine. It reminded me of home a bit and I
started to miss my family.
"You
ok Kagome?"
"Yeah
just thinking for a bit, don't
worry though." She
said and smiled at him to show she was alright.
They had reached
the door to the shrine and Inuyasha knocked twice. Soon a young man
came to the door.
"Inuyasha
is that you, it has been a while."
He said smiling obviously very happy to
see his old friend "Has
business been keeping you away?"
"Yes, that and other reasons."
"Yes well please come in and make
yourselves comfortable." He
lead us to a room and we all sat down. "Oh
and may I ask who is the young lovely lady accompanying you today?"
"She's
Kagome a new maid that was just hired."
"Oh."
he said obviously interested he started
to lean in towards her when Inuyasha pushed him back.
"And
you better keep your hands away from her if you know what's
good for you."
"Yes,
I see then." He
looked thoughtful for a second before going back to his cheerful self
"Well
then can I offer some refreshments, I am sure the lady is thirsty.
Would you like our usual saki Inuyasha?"
"I will pass this time Miroku, but
thanks anyway."
"Well
I see, this really is something."
And with that he disappeared out of the
room.
"How
come you didn't
want anything to drink Inuyasha?"
Kagome asked him, she was sure that after
the long ride he was thirsty and the sun outside was very hot.
"How
are you going to get home if I can't
control the horse, if I drink I may have some problems riding."
"Oh I see."
Indeed she did, so he didn't
drink because he was thinking about her and on getting her home
safely. She felt her cheeks grow hot a bit so she turned her face
away from him. After a while the young monk came back with a few cups
of tea and a few treats.
"So
how has your training been going Miroku?"
Inuyasha asked
"Just
great actually, the elder just says I have to purify myself more
often."
Inuyasha
laughed "I
wonder why."
"Ok
shut up, I can't
help it."
Kagome
was just sipping her tea quietly and wondering what they could be
referring to.
"So
Kagome, how do you like working for a slob of a lord."
He asked looking at her innocently as if
he had just asked her how her day was going. She held back a fit of
giggles.
"Well
I can't
say I see him as a slob yet as you so put it, I have only been in
their service for two days."
"Oh I see then."
He was going to add more but got cut off
by Inuyasha slamming his fist on the monks head.
"Oww
Inuyasha must you be so violent, I bruise easily."
Kagome was laughing at the two, they
seemed really at ease with each other.
"By
the way Kagome I figured since this was your first time in a large
town you may want to explore a bit."
"Really?"
she asked "can
we have a quick look around the place."
"Sure why not, besides it's
not like there is anything to do around this boring dump."
"Hey."
Said Miroku sounding slightly offended
"Leave
the shrine out of it."
"Feh,
yeah right like you weren't
planning on coming with us, I know you just want a reason to go near
a girl." He
said mockingly "you
might want to stock up on those exorcism scrolls."
"For your information, it is not my
fault that demonic forces only attack beautiful women."
"I bet."
He stood up and headed towards the door
"come
on Kagome I'll
show you around the place."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He watched as Kagome looked around at the place in wonder.
'She
must not be used to huge places I guess.'
He thought to himself. As usual the monk
was walking up to every beautiful woman in sight telling them he felt
an ominous force around them. He usually didn't
care what the monk did with all the women he pestered, but this time
he knew he had better stay away from Kagome. He found it a bit odd
that he was feeling protective of her but he didn't
question his feelings much.
'She
looks like an excited little kid.'
He thought after watching her for a while
going from store to store.
She stooped a little jewelry shop that
had a table with bracelets set out in front. She was looking at them
when he came up to her.
"Aren't
they pretty." she
said, after a while of looking at all of them she picked up a
lavender bracelet. It was made of purple crystals that gleamed in the
sun, he recognized some to be amethyst.
"Excuse
me." she
asked the old man "how
much is this bracelet."
"That
would be 10 yen young lady." he
said
"Ten
yen." she
said and looked in her little purse she didn't
even nearly have that much money.
'Oh
well,' she
thought 'I
shouldn't
be wasting the little money I have left on things like that.'
She was about to walk away when she heard
Inuyasha tell the old man to charge it.
"I
will take that bracelet." He
said pointing to the one she had previously been holding, when he
gave the man the money he gave the bracelet to her.
"Here
take it."
She
was stunned, this was the second time in the same day that he had
managed to surprise her.
"I
am sorry Inuyasha but I can't
accept it." He
looked a bit annoyed.
"Look,
I'm
not just giving it to you, it's
for earlier and me being a jerk to you."
He took her hand and put the bracelet in
her palm "Now
take it and stop being so stubborn."
He turned around and walked towards where
the monk was standing.
'He
really has changed.' She
thought. She looked at the bracelet and with a smile put it on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You
seem to have taken a liking to that servant of yours."
Commented Miroku when Inuyasha went to
where he was "The
Inuyasha I know would never give a servant a gift."
Inuyasha looked uncomfortable.
"I
don't
know," he
said after a while he looked up into the sky "I
can't
explain it she is different."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a while they headed back to the shrine everyone was tiered
including Kagome who was so glad when they could finally sit down and
rest. Miroku brought them some food and tea. "We
should get going after we rest for a bit."
Said Inuyasha after looking at the sky
and noticing that the sun would soon be down.
When they finished
their food they just sat there and rested. Kagome felt really tiered
and sleep was overtaking her. It was still rather recent that she had
walked for three days to reach the castle and her strength hadn't
fully come back. She noticed that when her body and feet started to
ache.
"Hey
you feeling ok Kagome?"
She
smiled at him "Yeah
I'm
ok Inuyasha it's
just that I'm
still a bit tired from my journey to the castle."
"Feh weakling,"
he said but she knew he didn't
mean it "lean
on me if you want we will be leaving soon."
She did just that it had only been a
while when she heard commotion coming from the entrance of the
shrine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshomaru was loosing his patience quickly, he had come to the
shrine earlier only to be informed that they had gone into town. He
had looked for them but not finding them he went back to the shrine.
He went into the room where he was told they would be. What he saw
angered him, she was leaning against his worthless brother. She was
obviously tired and had been resting.
"Sesshomaru
what the hell are you doing here."
Inuyasha sneered at him, but he didn't
pay him any attention.
"Woman
stand up you will be coming with me."
She had woken up from her light slumber
and noticed that he was talking to her.
"Lord
Sesshomaru."
"Don't
worry Kagome you don't
have to do what he says." He
quickly got in front of her in a protective stance.
"You
are testing my patience brother, get out of my way."
With that he quickly knocked Inuyasha out
of the way and grabbed Kagome's
arm.
"Leave
her alone." Inuyasha
again made a move to strike but was quickly cut off. Sesshomaru
punched him in the stomach and kicked him against the wall.
"Sesshomaru
please do not destroy this shrine."
"Keep quiet monk, I could have this
shrine destroyed if I so wished it, and you would be powerless to
stop me."
He
dragged Kagome outside, and put her on his horse the same way
Inuyasha had.
"Woman
listen to me and listen well, you are in my lands and are under my
property so you are rightfully mine. You will serve me only from now
on."
"Lord
Sesshomaru?" she
questioned but received no answer.
He had been riding a few
minutes and his temper had been calmed a bit to see that neither
Inuyasha nor the monk had been drunk and that she had not been
touched. Although when he saw her leaning against his brother fury
had taken hold of him again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome did not know what to think, one moment she was resting by
Inuyasha's
side and the next Lord Sesshomaru had come barging in dragging her
away.
'Did
he come all this way just to get me'
she wondered.
She was confused and
didn't
know what to think, he was going so fast that she tightened her grip
on his waist and leaned against him even more. She didn't
know exactly when it was the she fell asleep but she woke up in the
arms of Sesshomaru. He was carrying her up the steps and heading
towards her room. He opened her door and gently laid her on the bed.
"Sleep
woman, tomorrow you will be back to serving me."
He stood up and looked down at her from
where she was lying on the bed. He reached out and touched her face
his touch feathery soft, she closed her eyes and opened them again.
She found his golden eyes staring intensely at her.
"I
will not allow anyone to touch to, you now belong to me."
That was all he said before he walked out
the door.
