Chapter 13 – Khan's godkid
Rosie hater: U can all thank Werewolfbane01 for giving me the idea of waiting to post ch.13 for a little while to see what responses I would get from my reviewers. However, the wait was longer then anticipated since my computer wouldn't let me get to my file so I could type. Sorry, here's ch.13 for ya.
Naraku caught Kagome's eyes, fear instilled within them. "Kagome my dear…" Naraku used Sesshomaru's voice. She runs away from him but is no match for his speed. Naraku catches up.
-This will not happen.- Sesshomaru sees a vision in Naraku's head of what is to come. –I will not allow this.- Naraku stops abruptly and half kept running forth as the muscle, skin and cloth ripped apart. Have multi-demon, half white dog demon; the flesh gave way to white fur and blood. The two bodies split. "That will not happen Naraku!" Sesshomaru roared. The great dog charged forth to Naraku, grabbed the mutilated body in his mouth and tore at the flesh.
"Till next time 'Sesshy'." Naraku whispered for the dog to hear and he disappeared into a black puff of smoke, drifting away in the wind.
Sesshomaru's legs gave way as he changed back to his human form, he fainted on the way down and landed with a bone-cracking thump on the ground. "Sesshy!" Kagome cried.
-Oh don't worry, that brute is just exhausted.-
-Very funny Khan.- She runs over to the unconscious Sesshomaru.
-Really? I thought so my Lady.-
Get over here and help me. Now.-
-But Lady Kagome, Sesshomaru made me promise to watch Rin.-
-Now.-
-But…
-NOW!-
-ok….- he whimpers.
(1/2 an hour later)
"Let me help you with him my Lady." Khan takes Sesshomaru from Kagome and throws him over his shoulder.
"Took you long enough."
"I'm sorry my Lady. I did run here."
"I know… I just want to go home." She whispers.
"That demon Naraku was just here! I know I smelled him!" Inuyasha jumps down out of the trees.
"Who are you?" Khan growls.
"Where's Naraku? Tell me right now or I'll kill you and –" he pauses. "Kagome…"
"Naraku is gone, he left." She answers in a hallow voice.
"Where have you been Kagome? I've been looking everywhere for you! You ran off on me!"
"Then I guess you didn't look everywhere."
"Well I guess I lost Naraku, so let's go home." He steps towards Kagome.
"Back off! What do you want with my Lady?" Khan has dropped Sesshomaru and is standing in front of Kagome.
"Your Lady? Listen pal if you don't let Kagome go right now I'll pulverize you!"
"Oh yes, I remember now… you're my godkid." Says Khan; eyeing him strangely. "You were smarter when you were younger…"
"What…? Um…"
"Let's just leave Khan, Inuyasha just leave us alone." Kagome whispers.
"…Sorry Inuyasha, your brother got to her first." Khan winks at him.
"What do you mean?"
"You have gotten stupid. Think about it."
"…" His eyes go wide. "You don't mean…?"
"Kagome is the Lady of the Western Lands. You should think more often. It might help your brain process things more quickly."
"You're my brother's mate?"
"Is that so hard to believe, Inuyasha?" She whispers.
"Why are you being so cold to me? When did you become my brother's mate? Why did you leave me?"
"You are dead to me."
"What do you mean?"
"You hurt her, you broke her, so you lost her." Khan explains. "You broke her Inuyasha. You lied to her, told her that you loved no one but her and she meant the world to you. You scared her friends away and broke the well so she could never return home. But she has a home now, the Western Lands."
"I don't believe it… how could you Kagome? How could you do this to me? I loved you…"
"No… you didn't. Not the real me…" Her voice still sounds hallow.
"I told you a thousand times that I loved you!"
"You lied to her Inuyasha! You may have told her you loved her, but you didn't mean it! Did you? NO! You mated that undead clay pot! You mated a dead bitch instead of the living woman you claimed to love! If you were really her lover you wouldn't have betrayed her thus! Now back away from Sesshomaru's mate or face my wrath! Just because you are my god child does not mean that I will not kill you! You have betrayed my Lady! You are a disgrace!" Khan accuses the hanyou.
"Kagome -"
"Leave me Inuyasha. You are dead to me." She interrupts him.
"I will NOT lose you again! You're coming back with me!" Inuyasha runs over and lunges at her. He misses his chance as Khan pins him against a tree.
"DO NOT TOUCH MY LADY HANYOU! YOU WILL DEFILE HER WITH YOUR DIRTY HANDS!" Khan glares menacingly at him. "You will never come near my Lady ever again! Is that clear?"
"yes." Inuyasha whimpers.
"Let's go home Khan." Kagome puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Yes my Lady." Khan drops Inuyasha, goes over to Sesshy, picks him up and throws Sesshy over his shoulder. "Stupid baka." He turns into a giant wolf, helps Kagome up and takes off for the Western castle. Leaving behind a dumbfounded Inuyasha.
"Leave my ass! That wench is mine! It will take me till tomorrow afternoon to get there but I will come for you Kagome!" He takes off.
(The next day.)
(Morning back at the castle.)
Sesshy wakes to find himself in bed with a weight on his chest. He looks down to find Kagome asleep, holding onto him with a death grip. "How did we end up back here?" –Khan.-
-Zzz…-
-Khan!-
-Zz…-
-KHAN!-
-Zzzz…-
-Damn wolf.- He sighs. "How come he'll listen to you, but chooses when he'll listen to me?" He runs a hand through Kagome's hair as the other holds her close. Her eyes slowly open, still sleep-filled.
"Sesshy…"
"You know you have a death grip on me, right?"
"I don't want you to leave me. I love you."
"I love you too, Kagome. I'd never leave you, I never will."
"You almost did. You left me for a minute." A silent tear falls down her cheek.
"No Kagome. I doubted myself, my own strength, to protect you. I'm so sorry." He wipes the tear away and kisses her. "I will be with you forever, my love."
(1/2 an hour later)
(In Sesshy's study)
"Kagome are you going to follow me around the castle all day?"
"All morning. You are not allowed to leave my sight until after lunch. Got that?"
"Yes mate." Sesshy rolls his eyes.
"By the way, about that meeting of yours…"
-Oh shit.-
Kagome smacks him, adding a little bit of her miko powers to leave a good sized mark on his cheek.
-ow.-
"Next time you throw a drinking party and don't tell me, I will hit you harder! And when you lie and say you won't get drunk but then get completely intoxicated; I will have you tied to a target and use you for target practice! Heal that mark before 24 hours are up and I'll make your punishment worse! Is that clear?"
Sesshomaru stares at the floor. "Yes mate."
Khan walks into Sesshy's study, just witnessing Sesshomaru getting slapped by a not very happy Kagome. "Umm… heh." –I hope I never make Lady Kagome mad, that looked like it was painful.- "Lunch is ready."
"I'll go get Rin." Kagome leaves the room.
"You got off a little easier then I expected. Did that hurt?" Khan asks.
"It did and it still does. It will continue to hurt for the next 24 hours."
"Lord Oikawa and Lord Alvin have gone home. There is still no sign of Zeus or Jonah, I'm sorry to say."
"They will have to return to their homes at some point."
"Lord Hiroto and Oliver are still here."
"Lord Hiroto is a good friend of mine and I've heard that Oliver is now a friend of Kagome's."
"Lady Kagome is training Oliver in archery."
"Is that so? I hope he has fun." Sesshy remarks sarcastically.
"I'm sure he won't even know his own name by the time he can shoot at a target and hit it well. Lord Hiroto wishes to speak with you after lunch."
"Very well."
( lunch)
" Good afternoon Lady Kagome." Hiroto greets her as she sits down at the table across from him.
"Good afternoon Lord Hiroto, Oliver."
"Oliver tells me that you offered to train him at archery."
"I did."
"He is very excited. I've tried to teach him, but he's not a fast learner and I'm not a pro at it either."
"Want to have an archery competition later this afternoon?"
"Would I have to enter in it, Lady Kagome?" Oliver asks.
"Not if you don't want to, but I will. I'll have Jakken go tell the archers."
"If you would like to I'd love to watch." Says Hiroto.
"Alright then. Jakken!"
The little green toad comes running over. "Yes my Lady?"
"Round up the archers and tell them we're having a friendly competition later this afternoon please."
"Yes ma'am!" He runs back out of the room."
"Okaa-san?"
"Yes Rin?"
"Can Rin watch you train Oliver? Please?"
"If you wish, you can hold the arrows."
"Yay!"
