Devilangel: Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha so quit bothering me
"Hey!" the demon said with a grin, "Don't worry I wont hurt you."
Kagome got to her feet and backed away slightly, "Who are you?" She asked looking at the demon. He had long silver hair and amber eyes. Kagome noted that he looked remarkably similar to Sesshomaru except for the fact that he had little white doggy ears on the top of his head
"My name's Inuyasha." He said extending his hand out for her to shake
"I'm Kagome it's nice to meet you." She replied shaking his hand but not taking her eyes off the ears.
"So what are you doing out here?" Inuyasha asked
Kagome ignored the question still mesmerized by his ears. Before Inuyasha could react she jumped forward and began to rub his ears.
"CUTE!" She squealed in delight
After enduring a few minutes of this torture Inuyasha managed to get Kagome off of him.
"Again, what are you doing out here." Inuyasha repeated
"I got kidnapped last night and I just found out that my entire city is dead. I think I need to be alone." Kagome said as she sat down again
Inuyasha frowned as he took a seat next to her. "That means you just saw Sesshomaru didn't you?"
Kagome looked at the water in front of her, "Yeah. He told me what happened."
"I'm sorry about your city and I'm sorry you had to hear about something like that from that jerk." Inuyasha said
Kagome looked at him for a second before she started to laugh
"What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked
"You called him a jerk." Kagome said in between her giggles, "And it's true."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at her before getting to his feet. "You shouldn't be out of the village though. It's dangerous out here."
Kagome nodded and stood up as well. "I guess you're right."
"Come on. Let's go back." Inuyasha said leading her back to Peri.
"HEY INUYASHA!" Someone called running over to them
Kagome looked at the man who stopped in front of her and Inuyasha. She realized that this guy was also a demon. He had long brown hair that was tied back into high pony-tail and blue eyes. She saw the brown tail swishing around his legs. Just like with Inuyasha's ears she couldn't stop staring at it.
"Hey Kouga what's going on?" Inuyasha said
"Sesshomaru sent me here to tell you to report to his office with the princess." Kouga said. "Who is this?" he asked noticing Kagome for the first time
"Oh, this is the princess Kagome. Kagome this is Kouga."
Kagome didn't answer; she was still watching his tail. Inuyasha recognized the look on her face and took a step back. Before Kouga could ask what was wrong with her Kagome leapt at him the same way she did to Inuyasha. Kouga, though, tried to avoid her. After the dust cleared Inuyasha saw Kouga sitting on the ground pouting. Kagome was sitting next to him with his tail on her lap and she was stroking it happily.
Inuyasha immediately began to laugh at the strange sight.
"Shut up dog breath." Kouga snapped. He glanced at the girl petting his tail. "You know…you're pretty cute. And you're not afraid of demons. Hmm…" Kouga thought for a moment, "I know! I'm going to make you my woman."
Kagome dropped his tail and looked up at his words. "WHAT!" She cried out in shock
Kouga smiled at her. "That's right. I think we're perfect for each other."
Inuyasha stopped laughing as he heard what Kouga said, "She can't be you're woman!" He shouted
"Why not?" Kouga yelled getting to his feet
"Because she just can't be!"
"Inu-chan what's going on?" a woman asked walking over to him
"Oh, hi Kikyo." Inuyasha said forgetting about the fight and instead stood there smiling at her.
"Who's this?" Kikyo asked looking at Kagome
"This is the Princess that Sesshomaru rescued last night." Inuyasha said
"Oh." Kikyo smiled at Kagome. "I'm Kikyo. It's a pleasure to meet you Princess."
Kagome nodded at her after she picked herself up off the ground. She felt uneasy around this woman for some reason.
Kikyo had long black hair and dark eyes and she was dressed in a priestess outfit. It was a long white dress with red jewels sowed onto it.
"Inuyasha, Sesshomaru wants to see us, remember?" Kagome said pulling on his arm wanting to get away from Kikyo.
"Oh yeah." Inuyasha glanced at Kikyo as he allowed Kagome to pull him towards the building where his brother was. "Bye Kikyo, I'll see you later."
Kikyo stood there next to Kouga frowning.
Kagome and Inuyasha walked over to the building and Inuyasha pushed the door open with out knocking.
"Hey! You need to knock you insolent half-breed!" The toad looking thing from before yelled as he waddled towards Inuyasha and Kagome.
Inuyasha kicked Jaken and sent him flying towards a wall. Kagome snickered as they made their way to Sesshomaru's office.
Inuyasha threw open the door to his office as well. Sesshomaru was sitting at his desk. He didn't even look up as Kagome and Inuyasha sat down in the chairs in front of his desk
"What do you want Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked
"That is not the way to address a superior officer Inuyasha." Sesshomaru replied looking at him
"Feh"
Sesshomaru decided to ignore Inuyasha, "Kagome, you now know why you're here, correct?"
"Umm…not really."
"You're here because the black riders want you for some reason unknown to us and it is our job to keep them from getting you."
"Ok."
"We are going to have to have you transferred to a different White Rider camp." Sesshomaru said in his icy tone
"Why do you have to do that?" Inuyasha demanded getting to his feet
"There are rumors that the black riders are close to this site. I will not risk Princess Kagome being captured by them."
"But why must she leave!" Inuyasha almost yelled
"I have already told you." Sesshomaru said. Although he still had the emotionless look to him Kagome could tell there was a threat to his words.
Inuyasha sat back down.
"At midnight tonight I will lead Kagome and a small group of men to the eastern village. You Inuyasha will lead another group of men to the northern village and give the leader there this message," Sesshomaru said handing Inuyasha a letter. "It is very important that they receive this message. Am I understood?"
Inuyasha nodded
"You are dismissed." Sesshomaru said to Inuyasha
After the silver haired hanyou left the room Sesshomaru turned to Kagome. "Like I said, we will me leaving tonight. Make sure you are prepared. Ask the woman you are with to supply you with some clothing."
"Okay." Kagome replied
"You may leave." Kagome left the building and went to the small house where she woke up at.
Kagome slowly opened the front door. "Hello?' she called out as she walked in
"Welcome back child." Kaede said with a smile as she looked up from her cooking.
"Are ye hungry I'm making some stew?"
"No. I just came to pack."
"Pack? Are ye going somewhere?"
Kagome went into a detailed explanation of her day including the entire conversation she had with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.
"I see. So ye must leave already."
"Yes. Sesshomaru told me to ask you for some clothing."
"Of course child." Kaede said with a smile, "Ye can take anything ye wants from the closet in ye room." The old woman turned away from Kagome to dig into an old wooden chest in the corner of the room, "Here, ye can put your things in this." She said handing Kagome an old bag.
"Okay, thank you Kaede." Kagome said as she walked into her room. She shut the door behind her and immediately began to pack a few different thing to where. The majority of the clothing she decided to take were things similar to what she wore now but she also chose a few dresses just in case.
Just as she finished packing there was a knock at her door.
"Come in." Kagome called as she set the now full bag on her bed
Kaede walked into the room.
Kagome frowned as she looked at the woman and tears in her eyes. "What's wrong Kaede?" She asked walking over to her worried
"Nothing." Kaede said, "It just feels like I'm losing another child."
Kagome didn't know what to say she did the only thing that seemed appropriate to do. She hugged her and cried too.
"I know we've only known each other for a few hours, but ye remind me so much of my daughter." Kaede said taking a step back, "Ye are beautiful, smart, funny, and ye care so much about everything." Kaede reached into the pocket of her apron and took out a beautiful necklace. It had a Celtic design on it and a single tear drop shaped moonstone hung from the Celtic diamond, "This belonged to her." Kaede said, "I want ye to have it."
"I couldn't possibly take it." Kagome said in shock
"Please." Kaede said looking Kagome in the eyes. Kagome could see the pain she geld, and yet happiness.
"Okay."
Kagome reached for the necklace slowly. After taking from Kaede's hands she put it on. The gem shinned in the light.
"It's perfect."
Kagome stood there for a second, unsure of what to do before she flung her arms around the older woman and pulled her into another hug. "Thank you so much." Kagome said as tear formed in her eyes, "Thank you fore everything."
Kaede took a step back away from the crying teen. "Ye had best get some rest. I have no doubt Sesshomaru will want you awake for the journey." She said before walking out of the room, closing the door behind her
Kagome didn't move from where she stood. She fingered the necklace she now wore as she thought about Kaede. She reminded her of her grandmother which reminded her of her family and everyone who had just died the night before.
She whipped the tears of her face for what seemed like the hundredth time that day and got into bed fully clothed.
"Lady Kagome." Someone said interrupting the wonderful dream Kagome had been having
"Five for minutes." Kagome mumbled turning away from the person trying to wake her.
"I'm sorry Lady Kagome, but Lord Sesshomaru wishes to leave right now."
"Dumb poopy-head." Kagome said under her breath, "Waking me up." She opened her eyes and sat up slowly. She looked over at the person who had woken her. She blinked, "Hey!" She cried out recognizing the woman, "You're the one who saved me."
"My name in Nyoko." She said turning away from to grab the bag Kagome had packed earlier. "I'm coming with you and Lord Sesshomaru to the other village."
Kagome got out of bed and straightened her clothing, "Why do you give him the title of a lord?" She asked
"He ruled over the western lands before the Dark Riders overthrew him. Only him and Inuyasha survived the raid." Nyoko said shaking her head sadly, "And they were just children too."
Kagome frowned sadly as she watched the woman. Nyoko's black hair fell freely down her back and she was wearing a new white cloak without any blood stains.
"Come." Nyoko said leading her towards the exit of the house. She stopped in front of the door, "Do not mention any thing that I told you to Lord Sesshomaru. It will upset him greatly. Do you understand Lady Kagome?"
"I do." Was the response
Nyoko opened the door and led Kagome out into the cold dark air. Sitting regally upon a white horse in front of the house was none other than Sesshomaru. He tossed Kagome some clothing.
She caught it and upon further inspection she saw that it was a white cloak just like the one he and Nyoko wore.
"Put it on." He said in his icy cold voice.
Kagome didn't reply, she simply did as she was told. As soon as she had it on Sesshomaru told her to get on his horse. She climbed on in front of him. He had a hand on either side of her holding the reins.
Kagome looked around for Nyoko. She wasn't where she had been standing moments ago.
"Ready to go?" Nyoko's voice came from the left. She sat upon a chestnut mare.
Sesshomaru nodded and the two horsesgalloped into forest soon them and their riders were engulfed in the darkness.
End of chapter three. I hope you guys liked it. I really didn't. This is really just a filler chapter. The next one will be much more exciting I promise…..I think that this is actually my longest chapter.
If guys were wondering what the necklace that Kaede gave to Kagome looks like you can find it here. All you have to do is copy and paste it. Don't forget to remove the spaces. I love this necklace so much. I want to buy it, but I'm broke.
