The Other Side

Chapter 35

Fate Sends Them Back

Fate was waiting patiently in the castle gardens, staring at the burning flower. It had only been about a day and a half since he sent Sesshomaru and Kagome on the quest. He wondered for a moment what they would say if he told them the real reason he sent them on the quest. He thought against saying something but...

He glanced around when he felt the pulse of another presence nearby. It took a moment but then his vampires appeared in front of him, followed by Sesshomaru carrying Kagome. He paused; Sesshomaru didn't accept the bond? Oh well this put things into a different light if that was the case. He really hoped that wasn't the case. Fate knew that he already messed things up badly and it was worse if Kagome was still very much asleep.

At his feet was thrown the sword—interesting; they managed to actually get it. A bow was thrown next; he blinked. Kagome was the only one that he had decided that would be allowed to touch the bow. His eyes turned to her; she was limp in Sesshomaru's arms. As if to answer his question, Marie stepped up and explained, "I had to spell Kagome so I could animate her. I had to use her as a puppet to grab the bow but only for a short moment, I lost the ability to try again after a few minutes."

Oh; well yeah, that would be one good way to use Kagome. "I see; excellent work." He turned to Sesshomaru, whose eyes never left Fate. Fate bit his lip as he brought his eyes to the ground while saying, "I see that you did not accept the bond. I can only send you back if that is the case."

From the way that it look; Sesshomaru wasn't having any of that. Fate gulped then froze as he watched Sesshomaru lean down and whisper something to the girl. It took a few short moments but then Kagome opened her eyes. Fate and the vampires gaped at this.

Kagome looked around herself before she noticed that she was very much in Sesshomaru's arms. Then she flushed hard, especially considering she had an audience. "Whoa, when—how, huh? I don't understand; she's been asleep this entire time!" Derek yelled out, gaping at the sight that Kagome was awake.

"Um, what?" Kagome asked. She didn't seem like she was grasping as to what was going on. Fate didn't blame her for that though; he barely understood anything right now. "What's going on? Why are we back at the gardens?" She glanced around to everyone but no one said anything. She then noticed the sword and the bow near Fate's feet. She gawked at that. "Wait, I thought we were supposed to do the collecting together? I don't remember ever doing that aside from the flower."

"Fate attacked our bond," Sesshomaru said softly that even the vampires had a hard time hearing. Kagome sharply looked up at him with her mouth parted slightly.

"I remember," she muttered. Sesshomaru gently placed her down on the ground as he watched her eyes narrow. He knew that it wasn't aimed at him though. Kagome whirled around, her glare pinning at Fate, who flinched. "You have some nerve," she added, voice dripping with venom.

Fate paled as he watched her left hand start twisting and turning around the arm with black swirls. Fate did two things very quickly, knowing the danger that he was being presented with. He raised his hand and aimed the sword to be thrown back to Sesshomaru then flicked his wrist. Sesshomaru was no longer anywhere near Kagome; he simply vanished.

Kagome cried out his name, alerted Fate that perhaps he should've done that with Kagome first. He aimed the bow at Kagome—it flew to her as it hit her in the chest before he flicked his wrist and she too vanished from their sight. But not before telling Fate to fuck off.

He nervously laughed.

"Glad I got them both out of my sight before she did anything to me..."

The vampires shook their heads in worry. Fate just kept digging himself a hole.
