Eclipse of the Heart – Chapter 3
A Captive to Hatred
An Inuyasha FanFiction by Runcrazy
The sequel to Searching for Answers
Kagome struggled against Sesshomaru; he held her left arm tightly, it was still sore from her wound and hurt pretty bad.
"What are you DOING? Sesshomaru, let me go!" yelled Kagome, she was sick of being abducted; and the thought of being separated from Inuyasha again brought a sour taste to her mouth.
"Quiet," said Sesshomaru, holding Kagome's arm more tightly then before. Sesshomaru kept a steady pace, and Kagome was having trouble keeping up. I wonder where Rin and Jaken are. Sesshomaru doesn't usually travel alone… thought Kagome. Moments later Sesshomaru and Kagome turned a corner; and were greeted by Rin and Jaken.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" yelled Rin with glee, running up to him and bowing deeply.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you have returned!" said Jaken, bowing as well.
"Hello Rin and Jaken. This is Kagome," he said, jerking his arm forward; Kagome's body was whip lashed around, and she stood before them; hanging her head. Well this totally and completely sucks. She thought, looking down at Rin and Jaken.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you've brought back a young girl! May I touch her Lord Sesshomaru?" asked Rin, happily.
"Yes Rin," he replied. What am I, a toy? Thought Kagome, annoyed. Rin approached her, poking her in the leg as if checking to see if she really was real. Assured she was, Rin launched herself at Kagome, smothering her in a hug. Kagome staggered backwards; Rin was heavier than she looked. As upset as Kagome was, she couldn't help but smile at the small girl, she probably needs a friend, thought Kagome, patting her on the head.
"Come," ordered Sesshomaru, continuing on his way. Kagome, Rin and Jaken followed shortly behind.
A few hours later they came upon a small brook; it appeared out of the ground and flew down the rocks at an alarming speed.
"It's beautiful," whispered Kagome. Rin nodded, and then grasped Kagome's hand. Kagome smiled, and shook her head in amusement.
"We will stop here," said Sesshomaru. Yes sir, thought Kagome, picturing her self saluting Sesshomaru; for some reason she found the image incredibly funny and burst out laughing. Sesshomaru faced her, his eyes cold. He flew towards her, grasping her neck with his hand. "What is so funny, Kagome?" he asked her, tightening his grasp around her neck. Kagome struggled to breathe.
"Stop lord Sesshomaru!" cried Rin, rushing to his side and pulling on his sleeve. Sesshomaru dropped Kagome, and she fell into a heap on the dirt. This girl is a nuisance; I don't understand how Inuyasha can put up with her, even if she is surprisingly pretty, thought Sesshomaru, stepping off into the night.
"Are you alright Kagome?" asked Rin, concerned. Kagome nodded, holding her neck; red marks from his fingernails left indents in her skin. "You should not make Lord Sesshomaru angry; he is not somebody to tease," she added, holding Kagome's hand tightly. Serves her right, thought Jaken, She should not tease or laugh at our lord!
"I'll remember that, thank you Rin," said Kagome, still holding her neck. This could be a painful journey; I hope Inuyasha comes for me – I hope he is alright! That demon was hard to defeat. Kagome started a fire, and then settled down beside it; thankful Sesshomaru was nowhere nearby.
Kagome awoke in the middle of the night, the sky dark; there was no moon. Oh no… tonight is the new moon! Kagome sat up, panicking. She looked around; Sesshomaru was still nowhere to be seen. I could run, if I get far enough to the east I might run into Inuyasha, thought Kagome, shuddering at the consequences of being caught on her way. If I run into Sesshomaru instead, Rin won't be there to stop him… Kagome quietly stood, I'll have to take my chances, Sesshomaru probably abducted me knowing tonight is the new moon; so he could kill Inuyasha – I must try to get away! Kagome silently stepped out of the camp, tiptoeing across the forest floor until she was meters way from them. Kagome ran; she ran for everything she had. She figured if they spent a few hours walking yesterday, she could overcome the distance in a little less than an hour. Come on Kagome, you can do it. Kagome sensed something nearby and ducked into a bush. Sesshomaru stepped out into the clearing, holding a dead bird in his hands. Kagome held her breath as Sesshomaru paused, sniffing the air; he seemed to look directly at her. Just as Kagome was running out of oxygen he turned away and continued through the forest. Kagome let out her breath as quietly as she could, and waited a few minutes before standing. She had not walked five meters when a flash of white flew in front of her. Kagome froze; Sesshomaru appeared before her, he tossed the dead bird to the side and took a step towards Kagome.
