Chapter 3- Explanations part 1
Just as he had told Shippo, Sesshomaru now stood outside of the airport waiting for the two to come out of their plane. 'I should have known that my brother would take the early flight.' He thought as he walked over to Shippo and an enraged Inuyasha walked off of the plane with their baggage. Sesshomaru had checked the time of the planed that arrived before the time that Shippo had told him. Sesshomaru had come to understand his brother more and new that if he would be tired of something than he would leave as soon as he would get the chance to. Once he reached the two, Sesshomaru turned to Shippo and asked, "I am glad to see that your travels were safe."
"Cut the crap and let's go." Inuyasha growled as he walked up ahead of the two.
"What had angered your Otu?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Oh, well while we were in Hong Kong almost all of the, if not most, of the hanyou's there kept trying to mate with him." Shippo answered as he watched his father get into the car.
"Is that so…did he allow any of these hanyou's to touch him?" Sesshomaru replied.
"No, but he was really upset about the whole thing. He said that he was going to tell Kagome once they were together so that she could go and purify their, and I quote, sorry asses." Shippo answered.
"I see…does he plan on meeting with your Oka soon than?" Sesshomaru replied as he and Shippo began to walk back to the car.
"Yeah, he wants to go to the shrine the day after tomorrow…he says that he has to go back to the office and meet the new girl that was hired to help with the online filing system. He wants to make sure that he can trust her." Shippo answered.
"I'd go today but I just want to go home and relax." Inuyasha growled as both Shippo and Sesshomaru got into the car.
"That and Otu wants to make sure that no one touched the Tetsusiga while he was gone." Shippo mumbled.
"Oi…what was that pup?" Inuyasha growled.
"Well, I am glad to see that you have learned from your past mistakes." Sesshomaru stated as he drove out of the airport and into the high way.
"Feh, I just don't want that wench to worry if she sees how tired I am." Inuyasha growled.
'What makes you think that Oka will be worried?' Shippo asked wanted to ask but instead said, "Yeah, you know that Oka likes to worry a lot."
"Feh." Was all Inuyasha had to say about the matter.
Once at the house Inuyasha went straight to his room and said nothing. Knowing that he would be questioned at dinner Inuyasha reached for the Tetsusiga and changed back into his hairo. Inuyasha soon was dressed in his fire rat fur and made his way to the back. Training was the only way that he could completely relax. After Sesshomaru had told him of a way to get Kagome back he had gone to Totosai and had him make a bow and special arrows for Kagome.
Just as Inuyasha was about to enter the dojo he was stopped by his brother. Sesshomaru stared at his brother and turned away before saying, "You should have thrown that out years ago little brother."
"Feh, when I see Kagome I'm going to be wearing this and have Tetsusiga at my side." He growled.
"Never the less, you will have to wait to see her for Rin had had of a new rumor. You and Shippo shall leave for Okinawa in two days." Sesshomaru growled as he turned his back to his brother.
"What?! Damn it Sesshomaru I am not going to go look for some wench that I don't even need the help off." Inuyasha growled as he pointed the tip of Tetsusiga at him.
"She will be the only miko, the dragon miko shall be your only hope should you truly want your miko back. If you truly wish to know the truth than see me after dinner. For now get your rest…little brother." Sesshomaru growled before he walked away from his brother's challenge.
'The truth…when the hell is that bastard hiding form me now?' Inuyasha thought as he turned around to walk back to his room.
Meanwhile, Kagome had just finished her filing for the day and had just gathered her things when the door to the back room where she and Eri worked was opened. 'Eri is out sick…so who could that be?' she thought as she quickly got on guard. Once she saw her pig of a boss walk in Kagome turned her back and said, "I'm leaving for the day. I've finished my work and I have to go and finish my rounds."
"You're not going anywhere." He growled as he pushed her against one of the unused desks.
"Let me go…I will not tell you again." Kagome said in a calm voice.
"You little bitch…do you honestly think that you can win against me. A hanyou…you are a stupid little girl." He stated as he dug his claws into her wrist.
"I said let go." Kagome said as she quickly blasted him off of her. Once he was on the floor Kagome quickly paralyzed him and gathered her things. She didn't have time to heal her wound nor did she want to. After she had been found the clinic Kagome had also found a trainer that had helped her with her miko and physical strength. 'The pain will keep me busy.' She thought.
"Your…you're a miko." Her boss stated as he painfully looked up to face her.
"I had warned you not to touch me. I quiet and I don't care if you don't give me my pay check. However if you ever come near me again or if you ever treat Eri the way you just treated me than I will come back and purify you." Kagome hissed before she walked out.
As she walked down the halls and into the main office area, Kagome ignored the stare of the demons, miko's and humans alike at they watched her blood drip onto the floor as she walked by. Just as she was about to reach the stair case Kagome was stopped by her ex-boss's boss. Once she had made eye contact with the woman, Kagome heard her ask, "Are you alright? Did something happen with one of the computers?"
"No, I just quiet and you might want to go and check up on your pig hanyou. He is on the floor in the filing room." Kagome answered as she opened the door to the stair case.
"Kagome, was he the one that did this to you?" she asked.
"I doesn't matter now…said me my paycheck in the mail." Was all Kagome had to say before she stormed out of the building and to her car.
Just as she reached her car Kagome heard her cell phone go off and picked it up. Once she had just thrown all of her things into the car Kagome finally said, "What?"
"Sis? What's wrong?" a worried teenage Sota was heard.
"Sota…what's wrong? Did something happen?" Kagome replied as she ignored his question.
"No, everything is fine. I was just wondering if I could bower the car later on today. I have a date with Kim." Sota answered.
"Yeah, you're just going to have to drop me off at the clinic later." Kagome said as she sped out of the parking lot. 'Know all I have to do is talk to Yume about the rounds she placed me on. I don't think I will be able to handle the Takashi family now that I know who they really are.' She thought sadly.
"Are you sure you're alright. You don't sound too happy." Sota said.
"I'm just peachy…listen I'll be home in a bit so just wait for me." Kagome said before she hung up on her worried brother. 'He's going to want an explanation now…shit…why can't anything go right…ever since I left…things have changed…I've changed.' She thought as she tried to get control over her anger.
Once she got home Kagome couldn't help but smile when she saw her brother holding out her bow and arrows for her to practice. This bow was pure black; it was similar to the red one she had used in the past but it did not have the battle markings and cuts of the old bow she had used to fight against so many demons, Kaguya, the four war gods, Sesshomaru and Naraku. After shooting the first ten arrows with her miko energy she let out a long sigh as she heard her brother say, "So are you going to tell me what's wrong or do I have to make mom worry."
"Uh, it wasn't another attack if that's what you're thinking." Kagome replied as she took her aim.
"Than what is it?" Sota asked as he picked up his bow and tried to shot the bull's eye.
"I just quiet my job because my boss just tried to force himself on me." Kagome answered as if it weren't a big deal while letting go of her arrow.
Sota watched in amazement at his sister's power. She had put so much energy into that arrow that the skin of the tree had been burn off. Sota then turned to his sister and asked, "Well did you at least purify his sorry ass."
"Don't worry Sota…I'll find another job just until I finish school…so do you have a date with Kim today?" Kagome asked.
Meanwhile Inuyasha had just followed his brother into his study. He knew that no one would be able to hear what they were talking about because of the barrier that were placed on each wall of the room. Once he was sure that his brother was not going to say anything he looked at Sesshomaru and asked, "What aren't you telling me now?"
"The dragon miko is a miko that can control all four elements. She and bend the earth, fire, water and air to her will." Sesshomaru stated.
"So how can she help me? Why do I need her help?" Inuyasha asked as he began to feel unease about what his brother was about to tell him.
"Uh, Inuyasha if you do not get the help of the dragon miko than you will never get Kagome back. She is the only one that has the power to get rid of the shikon jewel and to help heal Kagome's heart." Sesshomaru said.
"What the hell are you talking about? And what the hell is this dragon miko. All you've told me is that I have to find her but why me?! Why am I the only one that can find her?!" Inuyasha growled as his eyes flashed red for a brief moment.
"Because only a hanyou who is in search of his lover can find this miko. If you do not find her now than you will have to wait another century to be with your miko." Sesshomaru growled. When Inuyasha said nothing Sesshomaru took in a deep breath and added, "I know you want to see her but it will be for the best if you do not see her. Go and find the dragon miko and bring her to Tokyo. She will be the one to help you."
"What if I don't find her? What if Kagome still wants nothing to do with me? What then…would you really let me die then?" Inuyasha whispered before he stood up and left his shocked brother to think.
'No, then and only then will I, Lord Sesshomaru, set your demon blood free to mark your mate.' He thought as he kept his eyes on the ground. After awhile of sitting in silence, Sesshomaru looked up to come face to face with Shippo. Shippo looked tired and sad for some reason but he would ignore that and stared at the young kit until he spoke a word.
Once he had realized that Sesshomaru would not speak until Shippo stated his reason for being in his privet study, Shippo took in a deep breath and asked, "Are you going to see Kagome again?"
"Why do you ask young kit?" Sesshomaru answered.
"I want you to tell her to meet me three days before Christmas so that she can meet my family, so that she can meet her grandchildren." Shippo replied.
"I cannot, you must be the one to invite her, not this Sesshomaru. Now leave." He answered.
"Yes, uncle." Shippo whispered before he walked out.
'I have to find her; I must find the dragon miko.' Sesshomaru thought.
A/N: Well there you have it…I know that it isn't much on the legend but I will explain and tell the entire legend later on in a future chapter. I hope you have enjoyed reading this chapter and I hope you will let me know what you think about it.
