The Youkai He Is
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The father was careful in removing himself from his son's room. He knew that if he wasn't careful, he would accidentally provoke Sesshomaru's youkai instincts. He remembered he had done the same 'protective' warnings when ever he had felt his wife was threatened. The situation was different however, because a youkai couldn't mate with a miko, or at least he thought so.
InuTashio had once known of a legend where his ancestor had tried to mate a miko. But it met with disastrous results. The miko had vanished and the youkai died. In this case he made up his mind that his son was too young to get a mate. Thank Kami that he had stopped the ritual in time other wise it really would have gone too far. But one thing still made him uneasy. Now that his eldest son had some miko blood in him, his youkai would have "The Craving." The craving to finish the ritual, it would eventually affect the mind in the form of obsession and eventually madness. The unfinished mating ritual, would eventually be completed by the will of the affected youkai. But Inu Tashio knew that in order to not lose his son, Kagome had to die. There was no way he'd let his son descend into madness and eventual death.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Once InuTashio passed out of sight, Sesshomaru calmed, checked Kagome, and followed his father.
Sesshomaru found his father in the open room just around the corner. He was talking to his head of security, Naraku. Part of the suit the half breed wore was singed, which pleased the prince greatly. There was something in his father's lackey that he didn't trust.
Sensing the whelps youkai aura, Naraku sneered mentally, he hated his employer's son, but he continued to listen to his boss's instructions. The pompous brat had gotten himself in a bind that his father wanted him to clear up. He wouldn't mind taking care of the miko in the other room. To think that she was strong enough to actually singe his best designer suit. The bitch would have to die, no one fucked with his clothes.
The young prince could hear snippets of what his father was ordering, and his youkai surged in anger as he put them together. The next thing he knew he was standing over his fathers body as he grit out the command to let Kagome live.
InuTashio was in complete shock his son had just thrown him through two walls and was even standing over him. When had his son's hearing gotten so good that he could hear through the heavy silencing spell he had place in the room. He gave his word that he would call off Naraku, and his son moved away to allow his father to stand.
The miko had so much fucking power, and here he was, just a half breed. Maybe he could get her away from the mansion, and just hold her until he could figure out a way to get her power. He waited for his chance to get to the miko and it happened. He actually smirked when he saw his boss fly through two walls. He could go no farther than the door way, for he knew the miko's power would flare should he get to close.
Kagome felt so heavy, and drained. She cracked her lids open and watched as Sesshomaru talked and gestured toward her. She watched as the hazy shape of Sess stepped back to allow his father into the room. Her gaze flicked over InuTashio's shoulder, and connected with her best friends eyes. An odd look came over his face and the scariest smirk appeared as he uttered the words she never expected to hear. . .
Naraku grinned as the look of utter horror crossed the stupid girl's face and she began to scramble off the bed and backed toward the window. Her power was starting to flare and whirl around the room. He continued forward and reached out, hoping that his illusion held. At that moment Sesshomaru came the rest of the way in and he reached out as well. Her reaction was exactly what Naraku wanted.
The glass shattered with the force of Kagome's powers and she jumped out the window. Her powers cushioned her fall only slightly. She landed on a spiky bush that left streaks of scrapped and slashed flesh, leaving lines of dotted blood.
The real Sesshomaru was actually standing behind Naraku. His eyes flared red, the craving had started, as well as his protective youkai instincts. He had stretched out his hand. Once he had seen the look on Kagome's face as her eyes met his, he grabbed Naraku. He threw him away from the window only to see Kagome standing there, he was rather confused, her face was full of hatred.
Kagome flew across her best friends lawn, and leaving nothing but a streak of pink in her wake, as well as a bloody trail. Her feet hardly touched the ground as the forest streaked by.
Naraku still using his illusion was still turned against the last occupant of the room, Sesshomaru. Just as his boss looking in, he took the chance and extended the spell outwards to include InuTashio.
InuTashio watched on, as Naraku laid limp against the wall, Kagome's image flickered, and his son stood in shock. In mere seconds Kagome had flickered behind his son, knocked him down, and a wave of her power cloaked the room. His youkai immediately flared, and he couldn't move, just like his son. The young prince was on his side and staring at his best friend.
Kagome sneered, "Know this, supposed King of Youkai," InuTashio blinked in surprise, " I was sent here to kill your son as well as you."
Kagome flicked her gaze onto her best friend. "I never liked you and my original goal is nearly complete. You will die in agony. And all by my hands, just like my master wanted."
InuTashio's eyes grew wide when his son actually stuttered, "I . . . I. . . I don't believe you." He was amazed his son could actually talk considering the young woman's considerable paralyzing power.
Her laugh was chilling and echoed, a twirl of pink-streaked-purple smoke cycloned around her body, and with a tiny pop she was gone.
Kagome's eyes reminded Sesshomaru's father of Naraku at times. It was just how the face hardened, the eyes detached, dead, and cold; the face of a true killer.
Everything was off, for once in his life, Sesshomaru felt ill. It was what she didn't say that left the most doubt in his mind. He was completely frozen, complete shock was taking its toll on his starved body. InuTashio was also shocked that a 17 year old girl could get this close and stay that close for over a year. His spies had told him there was a rumor. He should have believed them.
Kagome was still trying to make her way home, but would she ever make it. . . . .
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The general population had heard of youkai, but they had never known just how many there were, let alone that InuTashio was their king. Most people didn't actually believe there really were youkai, it always faded from their mind. In the youkai world all youkai were required to show a human appearance, if they could not, they were forced to live in designated areas were no human population was allowed.
