Chapter 13
Kagome returned to her chambers after the "meeting" with Tontanu. She slid the doors open to find her mother and Tengi tell each other of their past. Kagome went straight to the balcony across from them with out a word.
"Hey, Kagome I didn't know you use to smile when you were little." Tengi said.
Kagome didn't respond. "Did you know that the Northern mark becomes active next season?" Tengi asked
"Iie, Tengi" she replied bored
"Yeah, this is the order:
East)Spring- The Lordess' crest becomes active and shooting stars come out every night.
(West)Summer-The Lord's crest activates for every night to be a cresent moon in the sky
(South)Fall-The Lordess' crest activates for all the sakuras to bloom as though it were summer.
(North)Winter-The Lord's crest activates to make it rain as if it were spring, but its cold out."
"What about the Central?" Kagome asked finally looking back at him
"I don't believe anyone has seen the royals of the Central kingdom. Quite odd really." Niokay said.
"Oh, I've heard that in the Central, at the New Year, clouds form for the Family's emotion." Tengi stated.
"So, in other words, if the Royal family's heart were evil, the clouds would be dark. And if it were good ..."
"Then the clouds would form beautifully, allowing the sun's rays to shine everywhere." Niokay finished
"And has anyone seen these beautiful clouds yet?" Kagome asked.
"Well no." Tengi answered. "At leaset not a a few hundred years"
"Um. Interesting" Kagome muttered.
Sesshomaru enterted the palace around midnight. He went up to his study which is on the second floor.
'Not even a trace, and yet so close.' He thought.'The girl must have some information that I can not detect.'
"Omanri." Sesshomaru called for the gaurd outside his study doors.
"Hai. my lord." Omanri answer at once
"Bring me the girl, the new one."
"Hai, my lord" And he went to fetch Kagome.
Meanwhile, a little before...
"Kagome how did you know that Tontanu was married already?" Tengi asked
"Other than because I could smell it on him," Tengi grimaced at this.
"Because I was the one who introduced him to his wife."Kagome said.
"You introduced him to his wife. How's that?" Tengi wanted to hear this one.
"We were chidhood friends also" Kagome said turning back to the nightly sky.
FLASHBACK
Kagome and her mother were out in the gardens again, only this time was for learning. She was teaching Kagome what sorts of herbs and plants are good for eating, or good for medical reasons, or not good for eating.
Kagome suddenly pointed at a cute blue tea leaf. It reminded her of otou. "Oh, yes Kagome. This is the Jottrida herb" Niokay explained placing one of the leaves in Kagome's small palm. She smelled it. It had fur on it but was soft at the same time. Kagome actually grinned up at Niokay. She never felt more happy. Kagome barley remembers what happened that night with her mother and Chintado, so she has nothing to fear. For now.
"Hai, honey. It does smell just like Otou." Niokay said with a hugh smile on her face also.
"Now son, someday all of this will be yours" Utrani said to Tontanu with his arms folded.
"Right otou, all mine" Tontanu said folding his arms like his father, grinning proudly.
The soldiers belonging to the Northern hemisphere gathered around the gardens, away from Lady Niokay and Lady Kagome. They belonged to the Water tribe. Each section of the Waring states had their own protection.
North-Water
East-Earth
South-Air
West-Fire
And Central had Spirit. Spirit can, if possible, control all of the forces. It is the most powerful of them all. One summoning the power can give you that strength and wisdom on how to use it.
Kagome was called so formal because she was the daughter of a Lord, but she didn't care much for it. Now ending her lessons for the day she was able to play around. It's been a month since she was here, and she still didn't see what the Lord looked like. Oh. well.
"Tontanu, along with these troops you also need responisblibity." Utrani told his son.
"I've gots responsibilities otou." His father gave him a stern stare.
"Well, if I did, I would take care of them before anything else." Then his father smiled. Tontanu spotted Kagome holding hands with the Lady of the North.
"Sumimasen otou" He said."Go on son. Just behave" Utrani said
"I will." Tontanu yelled back while running to Kagome way across from where he was.
"Hey, Kagome" Tontanu yelled out and waving to his friend.
Kagome saw him and looked up at her mother. "Hai, go have fun" she said and Kagome dashed off ."Just stay out of trouble" Niokay yelled.
Kagome nodded back. "Hey. Guess what." Tontanu said. Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "My otou's troops are here to practice and one of them ...even...showed...me..a..." He trailed off and leaned to the side looking over Kagome's shoulder. Kagome wondered what the heck was his problem. She didn't apprciate that he was acting stupid right in front of her, it was rude. He kept staring behind her and his mouth was wide open. So wide that 20 flies cloud possibly fly right in it. Kagome knocked him on the head. She was amazed, he didn't budge.
That's it. She look behind her to see what on Kami's earth he was staring and she saw it, or her. Tontanu was staring at this little demon girl. She had whiteish blue hair and sapphire blue eyes. They looked like sparkling jewels to him. She sniffed a flower and giggled when a butterfly landed on it. To Tontanu she had the voice of an angel. Kagome felt sick to her stomach. She decided to go over there herself but was stopped when Tontanu finally came back to his senses.
"Wait...what are doing?" He asked panicky
Kagome pointed to the girl saying that she was going to bring her over. "You can't to that..at least..umm" He had no words left to explain before Kagome marched over there with her hands on her hips.
"Oh, konichiwa" The girl said but before she could think another thought Kagome had a firm grasp on her hand. She pulled her over to Tontanu and connected their hands together. They both blushed and quickly pulled hands apart.
"Uh, konichiwa. My name is Siyora. Wha..what's yours?" She was polite Kagome will give her that.
"Uh, uh. My name is, uuuuum." Kagome smacked him on the back "Ouch. My name is Tontanu." He said at last.
"Well, nice to meet you Tontanu" Siyora stuck out her hand. He took it to shake but they shooked each other once hands met.
Then they looked into each others eyes. Kagome rolled her eyes. If this was love she never wanted to experience it. Love looked way too boring.
END FLASHBACK
"Dang, everyone's your child hood friend." Tengi stated
"Not everyone" Kagome replied.
"Well, it's gotten late dear. I must go to my own chambers. Kobanwa." Niokay said turning to the door.
"Kobanwa" Tengi and Kagome said.
But just as Niokay left, a bulky looking wolf demon knocked on the door.
"Come in." Kagome said walking to the door.
"Lord Sesshomaru requests your presence in his study room my lady." He said
"Tengi, go check up on Anna and Rin." Kagome ordered.
"Fine" Tengi wined and disappeared through the walls.
"Follow me my lady" He said.
"Call me Kagome, no my lady" Kagome requested.
"Hai, my..Kagome"
Once they reached his study the guard knocked again."Enter" Kagome heard.
The opened the door for Kagome and left her inside.
"Sit" Sesshomaru told her. She immediatly sat down on a chair near the window accross from his desk.
"What is this all about my lord?" Kagome asked stright to the subject. She didn't want to look at him and kept her eyes down.
"Tell me Kagome, why do you think you are here?" Sesshomaru answered her question with another question.
She raised her head at the hearing of her real name. "I know I'm here to tell you all about Chintado" She said
"Correct and..."
"By you have foolishly mistaken me for someone who actually knows about the yokai my lord."
Sesshomaru froze. "Mind your tounge girl" Great she went from kagome to girl.
"I knew that you had no knowlegde of him exactly, however, you do have a hint of Chintado's where abouts."Sesshomaru said
"Right" Kagome said. "But I don't know the real location. Chintado has spies all around the warring states. Who knows where he could be?"
"I believe you do." he replied.
"Look, the only thing I can tell you is that all day you've been following and illusion. It's not the real Chintado in your lands he's been manipulating all of your guards and..."
Sesshomaru gave her a 'really?' look. "What do you want me to do?" She asked getting pissed off at his attitude.
Sesshomaru thought for a moment and then answered "You will stay at the palace until it is time for your death
"Nani!" Kagome exclaimed
"And while you are here you will not only watch after Rin and your ward also, but find out all you can about Chintado.
The only candle that was lite up went out leaving the room lightened by the moon. And only the moon.
"What makes you think that I will listen to any of your requests, Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked looking out to the half moon that was glowing brightly. "After all you do not own me." Bad choice of words.
"Really?" He asked walking over to the back of her chair.
"Well, Kagome tell me. Are you afraid?" He asked cracking his knuckles.
"I am not afraid of the moon Sesshomaru" Kagome replied.
He whispered in her ear, "I meant of me."
She turned around only to be grabbed by the collar of her kimono and thrust to the wall. It happened to fast
Sesshomaru tore off the back of her top, took a claw and carvedan S in her back. She sneered in pain but did not scream or cry (well she never cries but still). Blood trailed down her spine. He dropped her on the floor. She was strong and looked up at him fiercly, hate and loathe was all that could express how she felt.
He bent down on one knee beside her. "Now I own you."
