Welcome to chapter two of Blind Truth. I am your host and fan fiction author Midnight. If you have just joined us, welcome, if you have been eagerly awaiting this update, welcome as well. Thank you very much for returning and/or continuing to read my fan fiction. I do not own InuYasha or any of its participating characters. On with the chapter!
:: Flashback ::
"You pathetic hanyou!" Naraku laughed as he avoided another one of InuYasha's attacks.
"I'm going to kill you this time Naraku!" InuYasha yelled, slashing at Naraku's demons.
Naraku looked at the overwhelmed InuYasha and the surrounded Sesshomaru. He turned back to his two captives, who at the moment, were tied to a pole.
"You're going to be sorry!" Kagome yelled, struggling to break free.
Rin, the second captive, merely cried for her Sesshomaru to come and save her.
At that moment a wind scar cut through the air nearly hitting Naraku.
He turned to see InuYasha charging at him. He moved out of the way as he swiped the air. Claw hit flesh as InuYasha's claws collided with Rin's eyes.
The young girl screamed in pain and agony, which infuriated Sesshomaru enough to get his inner demon released. Kagome looked at InuYasha in shock as he untied her.
"You…you hit Rin." Kagome breathed.
"Shut up Kagome and go where it's safe with the shards." InuYasha commanded.
"But InuYasha!" Kagome protested.
"Go!" InuYasha yelled at her, pushing her forward.
:: End Flashback ::
Sesshomaru stood rotted to the spot as he noticed the change in Kagome's aura.
"You traveled to the western lands just to inform this Sesshomaru of his misinformation on the person who took Rin's sight?" Sesshomaru asked her, trying his hardest to remain in control.
"No I came to heal Rin. I really wasn't expecting to run into you." Kagome replied.
But, in fact, Kagome had wanted to tell Sesshomaru and she wanted to see him before she went home for good. She wanted to just look at him one more time, just once. Which was completely stupid because he was a great and powerful taiyoukai and she was…well she was a shard detector.
Kagome sighed and stood up.
"I guess that's it, I'll be out of your way now." Kagome announced.
At that moment Rin flew in the room in a blur of movement, with an agitated Jaken behind her.
"Kagome-chan! Kagome-chan! Kagome-chan you made Rin better!" Rin told Kagome with the biggest smile Kagome had ever seen.
"Don't worry about it Rin." Kagome laughed.
"Kagome-chan where's Shippo-kun?" Rin asked, her big eyes pleading Kagome.
"Umm…Shippo is with some friend's of mine." Kagome told Rin, which wasn't a total lie.
"Can we play next time I see you and your friends?" Rin asked, hopeful brown eyes making Kagome's cry on the inside.
"Of course." Kagome lied.
She knew there wouldn't be a next time. There wouldn't be another time when she saw InuYasha, or saw Sango, or Miroku or Shippo.
Her heart hurt now.
It wasn't meant to happen this way. She was supposed to come, heal Rin, leave and that would be that.
'Leave it to demons to spoil you're plans.' Kagome mentally sighed.
"Jaken, take Rin to the gardens." Sesshomaru said sternly, and then the two disappeared.
"It is not proper for a lady to lie." Sesshomaru announced, looking at Kagome.
"What?" Kagome asked, completely dumbfounded.
"I can smell when you humans lie. What reason do you have to lie to a child?" Sesshomaru asked her coolly.
"Would you rather have said 'Hey Rin, I'd love to let you see Shippo but I'm leaving and never coming back?'?" Kagome asked him angrily, only realizing after what had slipped out of her mouth.
Kagome sighed and sat back down on the bed as she ran a hand through her hair.
The room was silent. Kagome was thinking about what her next move was when the sound of a sniffle broke both of them out of her thoughts.
Just outside the door Rin cried, hearing every word because she hadn't wanted to play with Jaken she wanted to play with Kagome.
"Shit." Kagome cursed under her breath as Sesshomaru opened the door to reveal the distraught young girl.
"Are you really leaving forever?" Rin asked Kagome with tear filled eyes.
"Yes Rin. I have no where to go now but home." Kagome told Rin with a soft voice and a kind heart.
Rin dried her eyes on the sleeve of her kimono and looked at Kagome.
"Can't Kagome-chan stay at the castle Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked Sesshomaru with pleading eyes.
Kagome mind was spinning. Her plans were now officially ruined.
"Rin, I don't think Sesshomaru would want me to stay here." Kagome announced.
"Is that true Sesshomaru-sama? Is it?" Rin asked Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru knew the batter inside him was won and he wished to please his ward so he just gave him.
"She is welcome here." He replied, as unemotional as possible.
Rin smiled and jumped around.
"Yay, Kagome-chan stays." Rin exclaimed, running down the hall.
"You can't be serious." Kagome thought out loud.
Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow at the conflicted Kagome.
"I'm not staying here, are you crazy?" Kagome asked him.
"You will stay." Sesshomaru replied.
"Oh no I won't! I'm not leaving one brother only to go the other one!" Kagome told him, walking past him.
Sesshomaru grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back into the room, shutting the door behind him.
"Yes, that is a question of mine, where is my half-brother?" Sesshomaru questioned Kagome, letting her wrist go.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him in about a week." Kagome told Sesshomaru.
"Are you not under his protection?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"How is he supposed to protect me when his mate is trying to kill me? And why do you care?" Kagome asked Sesshomaru.
"So the half-breed took a mate?" Sesshomaru thought out loud.
Kagome sighed and ran both her hands through her hair. She subconsciously started playing with the bottle around her neck that held a small chunk of the Shikon jewel.
"Miko." Sesshomaru announced, startling Kagome out of her thoughts.
"What?" Kagome asked him bitterly.
Sesshomaru didn't exactly know what to say. Part of him wanted to let the miko leave and not care and another, bigger, part of him wanted her to stay for reasons far beyond Rin.
"You will stay." Sesshomaru told her, but it came out as a more of a question.
"I will but on two conditions. One, you call me Kagome. Not miko, not wench, not bitch or any other pet name you can think of, Kagome. And…you'll get my son." Kagome told him.
"And where is your 'son'?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"He's in the demon slayer village with Sango and Miroku." Kagome sighed.
"Very well, I will go retrieve your son and have a servant show you to your room, miko." Sesshomaru replied exiting the room.
"It's Kagome!" Kagome yelled, sighing and throwing her hands up in exasperation.
'Oh Kagome, what have you gotten yourself into now?' Kagome asked herself as a servant nervously popped her head in the room.
"Lady Kagome? I am to show you to your room." The servant said.
Kagome nodded and followed the servant.
'Just perfect.' Kagome announced bitterly in her head as she walked through the grand and regal castle of the west.
Yes that is where it ends. I do hope you liked chapter two. Please review this chapter with your thoughts or concerns. Chapter three will be up soon. Thank you for reading! Yours truly, Midnight.
