My reviewers:
I am extremely sorry! I'd be surprised if anyone was still reading this. Here's the thing, I tried to update, I really did, but every time I clicked something on my computer the screen went all blueish and pixel like and it went all "BOOOOOP." I kept attempting to update but then my computer started smoking so I kinda slowly backed away. So once more I am terribly, enormously, endlessly sorry to all of you. So if anyone is still reading this, I'll do my best to make this a long one.
Disclaimer: I could say I owned InuYasha, but why would I want to work up my pathetic dreams like that huh?
Here it is...
Previously: In Inu's memory, he finds out somethings wrong with Kagome. Speaking of Kagome, she got carried off somewhere...nothing special. Lol. She was almost killed though, she didn't even want to live.
"Well," Kurotama drawled, "It's about your dear Kagome..."
"Kagome?" InuYasha said dumbfounded.
Kurotama let a repulsive smile slip out.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO KAGOME YOU BITCH?"
In Kagome's dreams all she could see was silver hair. The silver hair that had engrossed her and saved her. The silver hair that had returned to her. 'InuYasha,' she thought, 'you really did save me. You really came back for me.' She could practically feel his angelic silver locks running through her fingers. InuYasha didn't hate her after all! It was just another normal squabble. There was nothing to fear now.
"I love you InuYasha," she murmured. Kagome meant every word of this with all her heart. Whatever had upset InuYasha, he would never let anything happen to Kagome. The thought of his care made her pain dull away. She couldn't wait to thank him when she awoke. Kagome needed to stroke his silver hair...but that would be later. Exhausted, Kagome slipped deeper under the silken sheets.
Wait, silken sheets?
"My God!"
Kagome's yelp echoed off the walls of the enormous chamber. The gold lined walls winked in the morning sunlight and her massive bed was stuffed with burgundy sheets and pillows. There was a mirror over a dresser, and a hallway that she was sure led to a bathroom. A real bathroom!
It was perfect, except, she didn't see InuYasha anywhere.
"InuYasha," she called to the room, "InuYasha where are you?" The silver haired hanyou had to be here somewhere right? After all he never left her side when he was worried about her.
"My name is not InuYasha, but you may call me that if you wish," a voice answered. It was most definitely not her favorite hanyou's voice.
"Who are you?" Kagome yelled, "Come out and fight me!" Kagome balled her hands into fists looking around wildly, as if a demon was behind every shadow.
"My Lady I could never do such a thing!" The owner of the voice stepped out from behind the door. It was some type of demon, but Kagome couldn't identify what kind.
"Who are you?" Kagome questioned, "And what type of demon are you?" Kagome realized just how stupid that last part sounded after she saw his eyes light up.
"I am Kienskae, your room tend," he explained, "And I am a leopard demon, My Lady."
"Leopard?" gasped Kagome, "Oh God don't eat me!"
His laugh had the tint of a purr in it as he shook his golden haired head in disbelief.
"Never My Lady," Kienskae confirmed, adjusting his sandy colored clothes. "Any more questions you'd like to randomly throw at me?"
"Well..." Kagome started, "Where am I and why am I here?"
"You're at none other than Lord Sesshomaru's palace!" Kienskae exclaimed, "You're here because my Lord saved you."
"Wait-Wha-Huh...SESSHOMARU?" Kagome breathed in disbelief, "SESSHOMARU?"
"Lord Sesshomaru," he corrected, "He took you in...though I don't know why. Not that I mind the least bit though!"
Kagome had skipped over the correction. 'Lord my butt,' she had thought. She did however catch one part. He took you in. What about InuYasha? Why would her favorite hanyou bring her to his wretched brother's palace? She would get these answers strait from Sesshomaru himself she decided.
"Where is Sesshomaru?" she asked. He didn't answer until Kagome added "Lord Sesshomaru I mean."
"My Lord is down at breakfast at the moment."
"Great, I'll see ya there Kienskae!" Kagome was eager to get her burning questions answered.
"Wait, My Lady," he called after her, "We must dress you properly if you will see My Lord!"
"I think I'll wear my clothes thanks," Kagome said mockingly.
She spotted Kienskae's look of shock before she added one last detail.
"By the way, don't call me 'Lady.'"
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO KAGOME YOU BITCH?"
"What did I do?" Kurotama pretended to be taken aback, "You should be asking what your dear Kagome has done!"
InuYasha had questions buzzing inside of him, but he didn't let his sword drop an inch.
"What are you raving about now?" InuYasha called out bravely. He laughed rudely, just to show he wasn't going to take sarcasm from her.
"We'll see who's laughing soon," Kurotama muttered. InuYasha's ears would have picked that up if he wasn't laughing so hard.
"Your precious Kagome has betrayed you InuYasha!"
InuYasha's laugh immediately slowed to a halt.
"What?" he said confused, "Kagome would never, this is just a trick!" InuYasha drew confidence in his words. His love for Kagome never wavered, and he knew she'd never do anything against him.
"I see," Kurotama said smartly, "Well I brought her with, I think she wanted to tell you herself."
InuYasha expected Kagome to be thrown before him, all bound in ropes, and then he'd fight to save her. Kurotama was just being sarcastic right? The whole betrayal thing was just to taunt him, it had to be!
However, when Kagome entered the clearing, she was walking slowly with her head held high. There were no ropes, nor any sign of restraint. She didn't glare repulsively at Kurotama, she actually gave her a small nod as she walked by. She came strait up to InuYasha and glared in his face. Her face was full of an unknown darkness, a darkness never seen in Kagome's face. Kagome's eyes were as cold as ice, and her face clearly wished him a painful death.
"Ka-Kagome?" InuYasha stammered.
As Kagome was walking in the halls she realized she should have listened to Kienskae. She had no clue how to get to wherever breakfast was being held.
"I know you're tailing me Kienskae," She sighed, "Come out and show me the way."
"Hmmm," he laughed tauntingly from who knows where, "Only if you permit me to call you Lady."
"Fine, fine," she pouted, "You win!"
"All right My Lady," he said tauntingly, "Turn that corner up there and you'll enter the dining hall."
Kienskae's eyes were shining with amusement as he watched her expression.
"NO FAIR!" Kagome yelled, "I would have found it!"
"A deals a deal My Lady," Kienskae felt great joy taunting her like this.
"Ugh," Kagome pouted as she rounded the corner, "You're so mean!"
Kagome was huffing at a dangerous speed, so she wasn't paying much attention when she turned the corner. That's how she ended up running strait into Sesshomaru.
"Oof!" she breathed as she made contact with him.
She stared up into his cold, expressionless face and gulped.
"I was about to send someone to retrieve you," he said coolly as if she didn't just run into him, "but I can see there is no need for it now."
He turned flawlessly and headed back into the dining hall. Kagome just sat there in the hall until he called a command back to her.
"Come."
Kagome jumped out of her trance immediately and scrambled after him.
Kagome was greeted into the hall by a loud squeal of "KAGOME-CHAN!"
"Rin-chan!" Kagome returned. She had forgotten the cute little child would be here.
'This will make my stay a little better,' she thought. 'Wait who says I'm planning on staying? InuYasha will bring me back soon!'
Before she could argue with herself anymore Rin was dragging her to the table.
"You can sit by Sesshomaru-sama Kagome-chan!" Rin squealed in delight.
"Um...erm..OK Rin-chan!" Kagome put on a false smile as she said this.
Once they were seated Rin began babbling about how they would play in the flower fields today.
"Rin is very much hoping Kagome-chan will join Rin in the gardens today," the little girl concluded with a hopeful smile on her face.
"Of coarse I will Rin! It sounds lovely!" Kagome's voice sounded smoothly cheery.
The food was delightful, but Kagome kept thinking of InuYasha too much to taste it thoroughly. She really wanted him to come get her and explain everything from why he was mad at her to why she was here. Wait, she had a question that could be answered by Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru," she addressed him effortlessly, "Why am I here."
Sesshomaru's eyes flicked onto her as he said "Rin, you are excused." His eyes didn't waver from Kagome once.
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama," she said obediently as she skipped away. "See you soon Kagome-neesan!"
Once Rin was out of ear shot Sesshomaru spoke once more.
"What do you wish to know, miko?"
She wanted to tell him off for his miko comment, but she had to get her questions answered.
"Why did InuYasha bring me here?" she asked. Then she looked around before continuing, "And why isn't he here right now?"
"Your questions are foolish miko," Sesshomaru lashed at her coldly.
"What are you talking about!" Kagome said confused, "I thought I worded them pretty clear."
"This Sesshomaru doesn't take sarcasm from humans," he said icily.
"Well THIS Kagome doesn't really give a damn what THAT Sesshomaru takes or doesn't take from humans!" Kagome let her insult ring, and she didn't feel any remorse or fear after saying it.
Sesshomaru was shocked on the inside, but only for a Milli second. His composure remained flawless as he addressed her.
"You'd be best to watch your tongue around here, human."
"Ugh you Inu brothers are all the same," she sighed in exasperation. "My names Kagome. Get it? KA-GO-MAE! Come on Sesshomaru, you're an intellectual right? Three syllables isn't exactly confusing."
Sesshomaru gracefully grabbed Kagome by the throat and slammed her against the wall, all in less than a second.
"I believe I said I didn't take sarcasm from humans, miko," he said coldly as he tightened his grip.
"Right, Sesshomaru...," she gasped, but after seeing his glare she quickly added, "-Sama."
He released her and let her crumple onto the floor. He had never let his emotions get to him like that, at least he still had his Sesshomaru stature. Sesshomaru had no clue what he'd gotten himself into back in the clearing.
"As I was saying," Sesshomaru continued as if nothing happened, "Your questions are foolish."
Kagome remained silent, afraid she'd say something to make Sesshomaru choke her again.
"I have no clue why you speak of InuYasha," he remarked, "Why is it you seem so amazed that he is not present?"
"Well, erm...," Kagome said awkwardly, "He kinda saved me from this one person-"
"Kurotama," Sesshomaru interrupted.
"Well, yea," she continued shocked by Sesshomaru's knowledge. "Well Inuyasha saved me when she was about to kill me and normally he wouldn't bring me here," she paused to take in her surroundings, "And normally he'd be by my side the whole time until I recovered. So now can you answer my questions?"
"It's quite simple really," Sesshomaru said smartly. "That wretched half-breed didn't save you."
He looked at Kagome curiously before continuing:
"I did."
