Chapter 7- Phone Call
Vetis entered her privet room and knew that she would have to make the call quick. She had no idea what had happened to this girl and need to check her aura after she had gotten some rest. Once she had dialed his number, Vetis waited for him to pick up. He had given her his house, work and privet number. She was only to call the privet number should there ever be a time that the matter could not wait. 'I hope you know who this girl is…' she thought.
Sesshomaru had just finished speaking with his brother and knew that he would have to go back to his own building. Just as he stood up he was stopped when he heard Inuyasha's voice say, "If she really doesn't want anything to do with me…can you at least ask her to let me see her just once."
"Inuyasha everything will…" however his words were cut short when his privet cell phone went off. Inuyasha took it as a clear sign to stay quiet. Only a hand full of people knew his number and those who did had good reason to call him when at work. After acknowledging who it was, Sesshomaru answered the call and said, "This is Lord Sesshomaru."
"Lord Sesshomaru, this is Vetis of the…" she was cut off when he said. "I know who you are and I know that your family is every well protect by my brothers will. Now tell me why you have called this Sesshomaru."
"I have a girl here in my home. She knew my ancestors name. She spoke as if she was depressed for leaving them." Vetis explained.
"What is she? Is she a demon, miko, hanyou?" Sesshomaru asked as he noticed his brother listening on his conversation.
"She is a miko. She looks exactly like the woman that my ancestor painted of. She even has the shikon jewel." Vetis stated.
"What?!" Inuyasha roared.
"Calm down Inuyasha…Vetis why did this miko come to you." Sesshomaru asked.
"She came to me because she wished for my help. She said that she needed to get stronger and that she needed to strengthen her mental and physical state. She wears the shikon jewel around her neck." Vetis answered.
"I see…keep her there and if she has a number contact her family and tell them that she will be spending the night at your house. My brother and I shall be there shortly." Sesshomaru growled as he and Inuyasha began to walk out of the office.
"I'll call Shippo." Inuyasha whispered.
"I understand. I shall keep her here until you arrive." Vetis said before she hung up.
"Tell him to go and check on his Oka…I will not have anyone attacking my pack." Sesshomaru growled.
Inuyasha waited for his son to pick up. He knew that this news would only upset him but he needed him to go and check up on his family; on Kagome and her family. As soon as Shippo picked up, Inuyasha heard him say, "Otu…I was just at my daughters school play…what is it?"
"Go and check on your Oka…Vetis has a girl at her house that claims she is the jewels guardian." Inuyasha growled.
"I'll call you as soon as I'm at the shrine." Was all Shippo said before he hung up.
Once in the car, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru began to wonder and think about the possibility of Kagome begin defeated. She was a very strong miko because of her time travels and the two of them knew that it would have to take a very old and well trained miko to take the jewel from her. As they got closer to the house, Inuyasha began to feel his blood boil at the thought of someone hurting Kagome. Just as Sesshomaru parked the car he turned to his brother and said, "You most stay calm. If you do not than we will not be able to find out how this miko was able to get a hold of the shikon jewel."
"Feh…if that bitch has her blood on her then I cannot promise anything." Inuyasha growled as he got out of the car.
Meanwhile Vetis and Verin sat in the room knowing that the demon lords were already here. Verin turned to her sister and asked, "How did she know our ancestors name?"
"I have no idea but go and let them in…once they see her they will be able to give us some answers." Vetis ordered.
"Yes sister." Verin stated before she walked out and left her older sister with the miko that had just appeared.
Meanwhile Shippo had just apologized to his family before he ran out of the small gym where the play was being held at. As soon as he was out side he pulled out his cell phone and called to Kagome's house. Just as he had gotten into his car he heard the phone pick up and a male's voice say, "Hello, Higurashi residents."
"Sota? Sota is Kagome at home?" Shippo asked as he started his car.
"Who is this? How did you know my name? Why are you looking for my sister?" he now enraged boy asked.
"I'm Shippo…the guy that brought your sister home the other day." He answered.
"Oh, wait why are you freaking out? Did something happen to my sister?" Sota asked as he began to worry.
"No, I just need to talk to her. Is she home?" Shippo replied.
"Hold…" Sota said. Once he had placed the phone down he ran outside and found his mother staring at the god tree. He quickly ran over to her and asked, "Mom, have you heard from Kagome?"
"No, her teacher called me, she got a new trainer and is spending the night there…why?" she answered.
"Shit." Was all he growled out before he ran back into the house.
"Sota!" he heard his mother calling out to him.
Sota quickly ran into the house and picked up the phone just a his grandfather was about to hang it up. After catching his breath he said, "My mother just told me that she got a new trainer that she would be spending the night at her house. Is that bad?"
"No, I'll be there in a bit…I need to speak with my grandmother and with you. Tell your mother and grandfather that I'll be there in a couple of minutes." Shippo said before he hung up the phone. 'This is bad.' He thought as he quickly dialed his uncle's phone number.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had just entered the house and were currently making there way to the room where the miko was sleeping in. Inuyasha calmed down a bit and was currently to deep in thought to remember where he was. Just as they were about to enter the room, Sesshomaru stopped walking and stopped his brother as he picked up his cell phone. "What have you found out?" Sesshomaru asked.
'Why didn't he call me?' Inuyasha thought as he tried to ignore the hurt from his son's actions.
"Is Otu with you at the house?" Shippo asked.
"Yes, now tell this Sesshomaru what you have found out." He growled.
"Kagome is the one that is there…don't let Otu see her." Shippo answered.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha breathed out as he heard what his son had just said. It was then that he realized why his son had called his brother instead of him. Inuyasha looked up and came face to face with his brother. However the two were forced back into reality when they heard Verin's voice say, "What's wrong? Vetis is waiting and we don't know how long this girl is going to be asleep for."
"If the jewel does not let you in then you must go and wait for me in the car." Sesshomaru whispered before the door was opened.
Sesshomaru turned to his brother and could see the pain in his eyes. He could tell that all Inuyasha wanted to do was ran in and hold her until she woke up. However that was not the case, Sesshomaru and Verin easily walked in only to turn around to stare at Inuyasha.
'Kagome…my mate.' He thought as he stared at her sleeping form. Sesshomaru was right, she hadn't changed one bit. She was still the same old Kagome in looks. As Inuyasha took a step forward he would feel is blood turn cold. He could fell every done in his body telling him to turn around and just go to the car. 'I have to try…I have to touch her…I can't even pick up on her scent.' He thought sadly.
"What is the meaning of this?" Vetis was heard.
"Just wait." Sesshomaru growled.
The moment Inuyasha took a step toward the door her was slammed into the floor. It was as if her aura had told him to sit. Inuyasha stood up and without a word left the house to go and wait in his brother's car just as he had promised to do. 'I couldn't…she still doesn't trust me.' He thought sadly as he closed his eyes.
"Lord Sesshomaru, tell me…who is this girl." Vetis stated once the door was closed.
"This…this IS the girl that your ancestor Sango painted of. This is the girl from your family's stories." Sesshomaru answered.
"But…so this girl is…this girl is the miko that my ancestor Sango thought of as a sister, the one that had actually helped in the defeat of Naraku." Vetis asked.
"Yes, the very one." Sesshomaru answered.
"If this is true than shouldn't Inuyasha have been allowed to enter. He was her protector. Why was he unable to enter?" Verin asked.
"Verin…that is not your business." Vetis hissed. "I'm sorry about that Lord Sesshomaru. You must forgive her."
"No, it's alright. However now that I am here I need you to tell me. Have you heard anything that states the where about of the next dragon miko." Sesshomaru stated.
"where are you looking for her…even if you do go by rumors you will never find her…the dragon miko is a miko that was meant to never be found. Once a miko realizes that she is the next dragon miko she will leave and live alone in the country side." Vetis stated.
"My brother and I need her help. Should you hear anything I expect a call from you." Sesshomaru stated as he stood up to leave.
"We understand…we will keep an ear out for any rumors that may contain information on the dragon miko." Verin stated as she stood up to lead him out.
"Oh and I will need you to make sure that my brother's and my aura's are hidden from the young miko. She still hasn't realized that she is mad at my brother." Sesshomaru ordered before he followed Verin out of the room. When Sesshomaru reached his car he was surprised when he found that his brother had fallen asleep with all of the doors unlocked.
Meanwhile Shippo had just reached the top of the shrine steps and was greeted by Kagome's family. He could tell who was who and knew that he would have liked it more if Kagome was here to introduce them to him. 'Just as well…I guess mother had something to take care of.' He thought as he reached them and said, "I am Shippo and I'm sorry to have to meet you like this."
"It's alright dear, please come in and tell us why you were looking for my daughter." Ms. Higurashi ordered as she gave him a warm smile.
"Oh, alright, but I just need to call my mate first." Shippo said as he began to follow them into the house.
"Mate?" Sota asked.
"My wife." Shippo replied.
"Oh, dear…I'm a great, great, great grandmother aren't I?" Ms. Higurashi asked.
"That makes me a great, great, great, great, grandfather." Her father exclaimed.
'Wow…she's scarier then Oka when she was mad at Otu…I better remember not to get on her bad side.' Shippo thought as he quietly followed the three of them into the main house of the shrine. 'God…what did I get myself into…why couldn't I just show up and act differently…' he thought as he waited for the questioning of his life.
A/N: Well there you have it. I know poor Shippo but he needs to start getting use to the family. Anyway I would love it if you all let me know what you think of it so far. Don't worry Christmas in this fic is getting closer and so is it when Kagome and Inuyasha come face to face.
