An Unlikely Fellowship Chapter 13: Prelude To The Gathering
Sesshomaru glared off into the horizon. The sky bleed a crimson shade as the sun pierced into it. Yet, out of the burning red sky a pure, bright blue wave would always over come it. The taiyoukai closed his eyes and dreamt of happier times.
"Oi, Pup! What are ya doing up so early?" A younger Sesshomaru turned to his nana with his yellow eyes full of wonder, "Seiko-san? Where are you and father going?" The Raccoon-dog scratched her ears and crouched down by the child, "Your papa didn't tell you? There is a place in the west where all the strongest youkai lords face off to protect their lands. They do this so that they won't have war with each other. If we all had a war, there would be nothing left, see?"
The pup's golden eyes narrowed at his nana, "Seiko-san, you aren't a lord. Why are you going?" The warrior woman threw her head back in laughter, "Well, the rules are that you bring at least one other partner with you, so you can take turns. I live on your dad's land so this is how I repay him for his kindness." The young child glared hardened, foreshadowing the great lord he would one day become, "But Seiko-san, don't you think it's unfair enough for them to fight father by himself? If you go too, they wouldn't be able to fight back."
Again the old nana roared with laughter at the child's statement, "Well, I guess that's why your papa chose me to fight with him." her eyes lowered with a tint of serious flare, "We won't lose...That I can promise you. You need to take care of your mum and your servants while we're gone." With that, the female youkai rose to her great height. Her green eyes scanned the tiny child as she flung her giant wrench over her shoulder, "One day, you'll go and protect your lands just like your father. You look so much like him, it's scary. But...there's one thing that's different..." The child's pride took a downfall, he wanted to be just like his father, why would he be different? The raccoon-dog continued, "Your eyes are just as strong as your mum's."
Sesshomaru's eyes sparkled, "My mother's? Is that good?" Seiko patted the child's head gently with her giant hand, "You kiddin'? When your mum gets angry, those eyes scare this piss out of any thing that looks at them!" Softly a gentle voice giggled from the hallway, "Seiko-chan, I prefer you not use that language around Sesshomaru. If you're not careful, you'll get the same glare from me." Seiko smiled and greeted the Mistress of the castle, "Gomen, I guess I should watch my tongue, sis!" Sister and brother was what the raccoon-dog called the rulers, they treated her as an equal and cared for her as much as she did for them.
"Make sure my husband doesn't get into too much trouble, Seiko-chan." Called the taiyoukai queen as Seiko turned to leave. "Feh, bro will probably be the one telling me not get to rough. I'll tell him what you said though!"
"Sesshomaru-Sama!" called a sweet voice, "Sesshomaru-Sama, Rin wants to show you something!" Instantly, a tiny ningen girl skipped by the inu youkai's side followed by the tiny white light of Chi the fairy. The girl, which was Sesshomaru's ward was probably one of the sweetest things ever known. She had long raven hair and a beautiful smile that seemed to shine with happiness when she decided to show it. Rin, which was her name, pulled out a shinny quartz stone from her pocket, "Rin and Chi where playing treasure hunters in the garden and LOOK! Real treasure!"
The Lord of the Western lands looked at the stone with no change in his cold, seemingly emotionless expression. Suddenly, the imp servant, Jaken burst on to the great balcony. "Ningen! Fairy! I told you not to bother Sesshomaru-sama!" Chi smirked as she sat on her human friend's shoulder, Then, the two girls stuck their tongues out at the imp. "WHAAA?! Did you see that me lord! The ningen is learning to be a trouble maker because of the Fairy!"
Sesshomaru did not show it but, he was always amused by the little girl. He choose the forest fairy to care and play with Rin because they had the same free spirit. Plus, Chi was Seiko's favorite and most loyal of all her foster children. The lord turned and spoke to the two girls, "Chi, tell me. Why are you and Rin being scolded by Jaken?" The tiny fairy bowed her head and fluttered by the Lord, "Gomen...Jaken was angry because we were digging in the garden. It's my fault, please punish me and not Rin-chan."
Sesshomaru rubbed his temples in slight annoyance, "Did you dig up the entire garden?" Rin shook her head, "No Sesshomaru-sama! We only dug around the rocks not Sesshomaru-sama's nice plants!" The taiyoukai then looked back at the quartz crystal, "Then, is this "treasure" for...this Sesshomaru?" The two girl's nodded their heads with joy. "Does Sesshomaru-sama like Rin and Chi's present?" Sesshomaru kept his cold look but nodded in agreement, "This Sesshomaru approves of your gift but, don't dig in my garden any more." The Children happily shook their heads and scurried back too their game.
The taiyoukai looked down to the green imp, "Jaken, I will be leaving now. Keep an eye on them until I return." Jaken growled but none the less, bowed and accepted the task willingly. With that, the Lord elegantly leaped off the balcony and bounded into the forest...where Inu Yasha was....
Kagome opened her eyes as the warm sunlight brushed against her face. A warm fuzzy blanket covered her cushioned her from the hard ground. She turned and looked around the camp. Everyone appeared to be sleeping, especially Inu Yasha, who was sleeping against the tree that was right beside her. 'The sun is just beginning to raise,' thought Kagome, 'It still is early.' "Hn. So you finally decided to waken?" The young miko's eyes drifted to the branch that was above her.
Hiei, the fire youkai glared back at her. Kagome smiled and saluted him happily, "Good morning to you too Hiei!" The figure clothed in black simply closed his eyes and turned his head away from her, "If you would call it a good morning. Kurama and Shippo left early to get you some herbs in case you felt any more pain. I'm guessing that Botan's magic did the trick though." Kagome tilted her head in confusion, 'Pain?' Suddenly her memory of the other night came flooding back to her.
The miko beauty hugged herself and shuttered, The pain almost seemed to try again to take her then, a throbbing sting came from her right hand. The Shikon Shard was still embedded in her... Quickly, she tried to squeeze it out but her skin had already covered the hole. Her gasp of pain was heard by the Forbidden Child. He snarled, "What on earth are you trying to do, woman?" She looked at him with pleading eyes, "The shard got shoved into my hand. I can't get it out!"
Hiei growled in annoyance as he looked around for any one that may be awake. Seeing that no one else was awake to help the miko onna, he sprung out of the tree and grabbed her right hand. After studing the situation the youkai's crimson eyes meet hers, "Hn. It's in there pretty deep. Maybe I should wait until Kurama gets here with the herbs."
By this time, Miroku had woken up but stared into the sky listening to the sounds around him. "Please, Hiei! I really want it out of me. It just keeps on hurting more and more!" "Hn. You say so but, you act as if this isn't your first time with-" The perverted monk's eyes shot open with pure shock. Obviously taking the conversion the wrong way, he sprung out of his futon and grabbed his staff shouting, "NOOO! Kagome-sama don't do THAT with a youkai!" Hiei and Kagome just stared at the hoshi. "Hn. Well then baka, If you have any experience in the medical field then please, be my guest and take the shard out of her hand yourself."
Miroku smiled sheepishly and sat back onto his futon. "I'm sorry...I thought...never mind..." Hiei glared at the houshi for a minute, then returned his attention back to Kagome's hand. Turning to look at his own hand, his index finger and thumb bore claws. "At least these blasted things are useful for something." Again he looked the miko in the face and growled, "Don't look at your hand when I do this." Kagome turned her head toward where Inu Yasha was sleeping as Hiei quickly drove his sharp claws into her dainty hands. All most with lighting speed, Hiei retrieved the jewel from it's resting place. "Ow!" Kagome said as she cradled her hand.
Hiei gazed at the shard as it dripped with the miko's blood, a horrible squeeze came into his mind as the shard turned a purple color. The shard then felt as if it began to tempt him, voices were calling, telling the fire youkai to take it and use it's power. Suddenly, a woman's voice screamed in his head as the scent of Kagome's blood filled his nose. Instantly, the fire youkai hissed at the cursed thing and slammed it to Kagome's left hand. " I don't want to touch that damned thing ever again!" Before Kagome could ask Hiei what happened he leaped into the nearest tree. At Kagome's touch, the shard changed back to a pure blue color. Miroku took this time to take out a clean white cloth and wrap it around her bleeding hand. Kagome looked at the shard with wonder, "Damned?"
Miroku sighed as he tied off the bandaid, "Remember the story about the shikon no tama? Midoriko's soul as well as the souls of those youkai are in there as well. Hiei must have felt them." "Kagome!" shouted Shippo leaping on to Kagome's lap, "Are you feeling better? Kurama showed me some herbs that can help!" Kurama soon followed the kit into the camp site with herbs in his arms, "Good morning, Miss Kagome and Miroku-san. Are your wounds feeling better, Kagome?"
The young miko nodded but showed the kitsune her hand and explained how she got the wound. Kurama simply sighed in annoyance and begun to undress the band aid to apply the herbs, "Hiei is extremely reckless and some what cruel, when it comes to females. I hope your hand won't suffer too much." The girl shook her head, "No, the shard was hurting more than this, I'm just glad he got it out." Kagome looked off into the tree the fire youkai leaped into, 'He really must not like me all too much...so much for being friends.'
Inu Yasha's eyes slowly opened as the voices around him became recognizable. As his eyes adjusted to the light a tall male figure stood before him, "For a mutt, you sure sleep alot. Get up, Kagome is making breakfast." Inu Yasha growled, he knew who this voice belonged to, "Go to hell, Yu-suk-eggs. I'm usually up before any one." Kuwabara happily slurped away at the cup of noodles, "This is great Kagome-chan! My favorite flavor, too!"
Kagome scratched the back of her head as she stated, "It's just ramen. Nothing special." Kuwabara quickly drove his chop sticks into the paper cup, "Yeah, well, my sister always finds a way to burn the noodles...I don't know if that is even possible but...well, never mind." Kagome stood and handed a cup of noodles to Yusuke and Inu Yasha as she scanned the area, "Where's Hiei? He's going to miss breakfast."
Inu Yasha snarled at the name as he gave Kagome a angry stare. Yusuke just made a shooing motion with his hand, "Don't worry bout Hiei. He maybe kinda short but, he's a tough cookie. He likes to wander and check things out. Just leave his food out and he'll get it." Kurama nodded, "Yes Miss Kagome, Yusuke is right. Don't worry about Hiei, he's probably regaining his composure. He's not used to being around so many people at one time."
Kuwabara suddenly rose in fright, "Guys? Do you feel that? Something really powerful is coming right towards us!" Kagome sensed the area, "Inu Yasha! It's Sesshomaru!" "Sis-show-ma-who?" Yusuke asked in confusion. Botan screamed and hid behind the battle ready Sango, "The legendary Lord of the Western lands!? Oh dear!" Yusuke spat on the ground and glared off in the direction he felt the aura, "What the hell does he want with us?"
Inu Yasha unsheathed his magic blade and growled, "Not us, me. He's my half brother." Kurama's eyes suddenly showed signs of nervousness, "Sesshomaru's brother?" He removed a rose from his long red hair as he prepared the rose whip as he thought, 'Maybe, it's not just Inu Yasha he's coming for...I pray that he can't smell me. I would be a danger to everyone if he knows who I am'
Shippo hid behind Kagome as she prepared an arrow. Kuwabara bore his spirit sword as Hiei quickly reappeared beside him. Suddenly, Out of the bushes bounded a figure clothed in white and red. The upper torso had black armor piece covering the elegant robes His long, silver hair danced about him as his brilliant golden eyes blazed at the group before him. He stood with an undying pride as he slowly strode toward the travelers. Yusuke was the first to break the silence of the Lord, "What the hell do you want, Fuzz-brain?"
Sesshomaru stopped his glide and glared at the human boy. Normally, Sesshomaru would have killed this ningen but there was something different about him. His stern brown eyes showed no fear of him what so ever and a great power emendated from his body. "Either you are extremely brave or incredibly foolish, ningen." Inu Yasha decided to intercept his brother's conversation, "What do you want Sesshomaru? You are not going get MY sword plus, you're out numbered if you want to fight."
Sesshomaru growled at the hanyou, "I have no business with you, Inu Yasha. I have come to speak with the Forbidden One and Youko." Kurama and Hiei came forward. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow as he looked at Kurama, "So, the great thief Youko didn't die after all, instead, you leach off a ningen body. Such a fate is worse than death." Kurama emerald eyes narrowed at the Lord, "I enjoy this body." The taiyoukai bore his claws, " You do not sound like Youko I misfortune of meeting. Never the less, I have an offer for you and the Koorime's forgotten child. Join me in the gathering and you will be greatly rewarded."
Hiei snarled at the Lord of the western lands, "I do not care if your lands get over taken, it's your problem, not ours." Kurama nodded, "I do not care for treasure any more. I decline." Sesshomaru's aura burned with fury as he eyed the group, the scent of a death messenger came to his nose as his eyes locked on to Botan. She was the most defenseless out of fellowship and probably cared for well.
In a flash, he zipped over to the Ferry woman with a clawed hand to her throat, "This Sesshomaru believes he has made an offer you can't refuse." Sango prepared her hiraikotsu, "Botan-chan! Let her go!" "Join me, or I will kill the Ferry woman!" Botan's pretty eyes became like glass as tears rolled down her pale face. Yusuke roared in rage, "YOU BASTARD!" Kurama's arms fell to his side, "Dog! Spare Botan! She has nothing to do with you!"
"Three days, that is my offer. Come to the mountain of Seiko the Raccoon-dog and I'll see if your woman of death doesn't die herself." With that Sesshomaru retreated away with a frightened Botan as she screamed, "HELP ME!!" Kagome didn't think about herself any more, she took off running after her new friend as the rest followed her lead. "Botan-Chan!!" She cried when she couldn't feel the aura of her nor Sesshomaru any more.
"Damn it!!" Inu Yasha yelled, "My damn brother had to take the healer!" Kuwabara grabbed the hanyou by the shirt, "He isn't going to kill her is he? Tell me that he won't kill her, Inu Yasha!" Inu Yasha's face filled with pity as he eyed the worried face of Kuwabara, "With my brother...I really don't know Kuwabara."

Kagome didn't think about herself any more, she took off running after her new friend as the rest followed her lead. "Botan-Chan!!" She cried when she couldn't feel the aura of her nor Sesshomaru any more.
"Damn it!!" Inu Yasha yelled, "My damn brother had to take the healer!" Kuwabara grabbed the hanyou by the shirt, "He isn't going to kill her is he? Tell me that he won't kill her, Inu Yasha!" Inu Yasha's face filled with pity as he eyed the worried face of Kuwabara, "With my brother...I really don't know Kuwabara."
