Chapter Five
By Kaguya's Chaos
Kagome blushed as she looked into the slightly feminine face. Yes, she knew he was a guy. She had stared into such beauty before. ( :cough: Sesshoumaru:cough: ) Kagome looked about herself and smiled sheepishly. "Nope! I….uh….was just going!" She sweat dropped as she quickly spun on her heel. 'Oh shit!' She kept repeating in her head. 'I'm soooo busted!'
Kagome's eyes widened as she noticed the guards around the corner of the building and heard the gruff command to search for the escaped prisoners. A hand landed heavily on her shoulder and Kagome whirled around to stare into the amused eyes of the beautiful man from before.
"Come this way. The doors are over here." he whispered and smiled. Kagome blushed again and would have sworn that he was a woman with the way he looked at that moment. 'What is with these guys looking prettier then women?' She thought slightly jealously and followed the strange man.
"Why are you helping me?" Kagome asked in suspicion. The man smiled and sat down on the steps of one of the buildings. "You wouldn't be one of the prisoners that those guards are looking for, would you?" He countered her question with his own. Kagome frowned and sat down too.
"Yeah, I am. But I don't even know why I was put in prison. It's funny how something similar has happened to me like this in the past." Kagome continued to ramble on and the man sat and listened with an interested gleam in his eyes. "First it was the past and now a different dimension! What did I do to deserve this? And why am I always the one to get put in-" She froze mid-sentence and covered her mouth. 'Good going, Kagome. Just spill your guts why don't you? He probably thinks you're a fricken nut-case!' Kagome stole a glance at the man and was surprised to see his eyes looking at her with interest and something akin to triumph.
"Uh….just forget about all that!" Kagome waved her hands about and the man smiled.
"Was it true?" He asked.
"Huh?"
"What you said. Was it true?" He repeated and Kagome blushed. 'Say no! Just lie and say it was a joke!' "Yes." She answered and glared when she realized that her mouth wasn't obeying her. The man stood and took her hand. "I believe you. What is your name?"
"Er….Kagome." She answered and her blush grew. She was snapped out of her light trance by the sound of shouting and struggling. Her head whipped over to see a very familiar boy struggling with a group of guards. "Tama!" Kagome felt a hand clamp over her mouth and was shoved into a nearby bush. "Shh! Hide here!"
"Where's your little friend? Ditch her already?" The guards snickered as their leader interrogated Tamahome. Tamahome sneered at them and didn't answer. The guard lifted a hand and slapped him across the face. Kagome felt indescribable anger fill her and she leapt out from her hiding place.
"Hey! You asshole! Don't hit him!"
:with Inuyasha and the gang:
"Well, Inuyasha is certainly rubbing off on her." Miroku stated into the stunned silence. He had paused in his aloud reading and glanced up to see the expressions on his friends faces. Sango sat with Kirara in her lap and gazed intently at the book. Shippo sat beside her also staring at the book. Kaede stood by the fire preparing something to eat and some tea for Miroku's soon-to-be sore throat.
Inuyasha sat glaring at the floor with his fists clenched. 'Why is she defending him?' (Duh! Cause he's hot:blushes: And…cause he is her way out?) 'Why doesn't she just escape? And who the hell is this other guy? Why are all these guys in here?' Inuyasha kept this questions going and his frustration grew. He drew in a breath to try to calm himself down, then quickly stiffened further.
"Sesshoumaru!"
:XD:
KC: Um….hey….I was writing this and I suddenly had a weird thought….what if I made Sesshoumaru the priest of Seiryuu:busts out laughing hysterically: There is no way in HELL I would ever do that! Maybe as a spoof at the end? Besides, a youkai? As a priest? Is that just weird or what?
Kagome: Er, KC?
KC: Hmm? OH! Sorry! To much thinking out loud! I am terrible sorry! Please excuse me! I am truly terrible!
Sesshoumaru: Just get on with it already, KC.
KC:pouts: Sure, sure. Keep your shirt off! I mean on:grins sheepishly:
:XD:
Miroku and Sango, hearing Inuyasha's growl stiffened as well and turned to him in confused alertness. Shippo, who was playing with Kirara stopped and sniffed the air as well. Kaede looked at each of them. For a few seconds there was a quiet. Then all hell broke loose.
Inuyasha jumped to his feet and rushed outside the hut followed by Sango and Miroku. Kirara rushed out next. As Shippo made a move to follow he was held back by Kaede's arm held firmly around him. He looked up at the old lady with slight anger and opened his mouth to be demanded to be let go. Kaede shook her head.
"If you were to get hurt while Kagome was away she would be greatly saddened." The old miko said simply and Shippo sat down with a slight pout. (Again I will tell ya'll…I hate the way Kaede talks on the show. So there will be no ye, thee and thou's in here!)
Inuyasha skid to a halt in front of his elder brother. Barely veiled hate glimmered in both of their eyes. Sesshoumaru averted his eyes from his brother to watch as the rest of Inuyasha's group came tumbling into the clearing they were standing in. He was slightly disappointed, however, that the human miko that usually traveled with his brother wasn't with them. 'Another of her mysterious disappearances?' he thought to himself and returned his golden gaze to the half-breed.
"Hello little brother." He stated in his usual icy voice. He didn't show that he knew Kagome was missing. Inuyasha growled and leapt at the Inu Youkai and the battle began.
:hello:
"Hmm? What's this? Who is this!" A deep voice asks.
"What?"
"That Inu Youkai. Who is that?"
"That is the halfling, Inuyasha's, older brother."
"No kidding? Interesting. He seems to have a little….thing for our little miko."
"Really? Interesting…." Both Gods looked at each other and smirked.
"Interesting indeed." A quiet voice said from the corner of the room and pretended not to here the conversation.
"Yes indeed…." (can you say "creepy"! Ya know….I think I have just as much commentary as I do story in here…)
:Hi:
Kagome glared at the guards and clenched her fists. Her anger at their treatment of her new friend consumed her. 'How dare they treat him so badly. Well, we did escape from the dungeons, but why were we put there anyway? I mean, we didn't do anything too bad!' She cut off her thoughts as the guards rushed at her.
She fought them off as best as she could. Trying to get away as much as harm the damn guards. She let out a cry of pain when one of them had tugged her arm up farther then necessary. She was dimly aware of Tamahome yelling something as well as another voice.
"Let her go!"
Kagome was suddenly dropped. Not one to be left out so quickly, she punched the guard in the stomach and snorted as he went down in a heap. "That's what you get you-" She was interrupted as one of the guards came out of their stupor.
"Your majesty!" he shouted and fell to the floor in a bow. As did the others, excluding Kagome and a dumbfounded Tamahome. Kagome spun around and her eyes widened as she realized that 'his majesty' was in fact the pretty guy that had tried to help her. 'Oh, suuuuure…It's not too surprising….I mean, Sesshoumaru is a lord….:sigh: it would just be my luck if Tamahome turned out to be a prince.'
:XD:
Inuyasha dodged another blow from Sesshoumaru and landed on the ground softly. Sango and Miroku stood on the sidelines, specifically told not to interfere. Kirara prowled along the perimeter of the battle zone and awaited a chance to leap in, if needed. "You never answered, Fluffy! What the hell do you want?" Inuyasha yelled out and Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. Instead of answering, he looked around as if just noticing something.
"Where's your miko?" he asked smoothly and Inuyasha looked at him in confusion. Then in anger as the question finally clicked.
"What the hell do you care!" he yelled out and went in for the attack. Sesshoumaru dodged and as he did so, an object caught his attention. "Well, well, well. What's this, Inuyasha?" He questioned as he calmly picked it up. He noticed that all members of the hanyou's group froze and stared in horror at the object in the taiyoukai's grip. It was just a book.
A plain looking book.
'With a demonic aura?' Sesshoumaru examined the book closer and slowly opened it. As he did so a pink light engulfed his body. And suddenly, Sesshoumaru, Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, was gone, and the book lay innocently on the ground.
"Oh….shit." Was heard from three different people.
:XD:
KC: Wow! What a great ending for this chappie!
Sesshoumaru: So now I am in the book? With Kagome?
KC: Yup. It appears so.
Inuyasha: That's not fair!
KC: Life's not fair…and neither am I! Next chapter Kikyou finally comes in, along with Kagura and icky Naraku. Not to mention Nuriko! Hehehe! So much excitement! See ya'll there!
