Chapter two.
My eyes looked towards the elder Tashio. I had a big question on my mind and I desperately wanted to be answered. I quickly resituated myself upon the leather seat. His car was nice. It was not anything to fancy just something that made you crave the speed even more. I slowly looked around that said car and saw how neat it looked. It looked brand new to my eyes, but how was I to know if it was new or old.
"May I ask you what your name is Tashio?" I heard my question voice its self from my mind.
"Sesshomaru." It was his curt answer. I thought about his name but didn't understand it that was until a faded memory came to my mind. It was a memory from the days I was within the castle walls.
"The boy who angered the lord? That was you?" I looked back up at him to see his face twist with an unidentified emotion as he nodded his answer. I could only feel his displeasure toward my question. Maybe I should not think of questions for now and allow him to think over the information I had told him earlier.
"Where would you wish to eat?" My head nearly snapped in his direction at his question. My eyes were wide in astonishment and shock. I saw the glint of amusement sparkle in his eyes. That did it! I would make him hate my choice in a few seconds. Now where to go… hm I am feeling a pizza buzz warming in my gut but I should be eating healthy… oh screw it pizza it is.
"Mc Pizza Bell." I saw him glare in my direction before looking back at the road. He definitely did not approve of my choice or lack of choice in dinning. Well he asked so I gave him my answer. It is up to him to choose there or one of his own choices. I felt my jaw drop when he pulled into the fast food restaurants drive through. I would have laughed at him as his face held a sneer.
"Oh come on not all fast food places are bad," I couldn't help the snicker that befell upon my lips at his glare directed at me. It took so much not to laugh the amount that squeezed my stomach.
"What do you want?" It sounded more like an order then a question to me.
"A combo number 2, hm a large with an orange soda!" I saw his face tighten into a cold glare. I saw him order two combos and growl in my direction as the cashier rung up the order. I just burst. All the laughter I was trying to keep down had come out in a flame. It spread quicker then wild fire.
Before I knew he had paid and received the food I felt something cold drop down into my shirt. It caused me to scream and move around in the seat trying to get it out. Whatever the putrid object was I wasn't having it. I moved around until I felt it slide down into my hand. I raised it to my eye level only to glare at the man in the driver's seat looking innocent. I threw the abused ice cube at him to see him catch it in his palm, and then I saw him toss it out the window.
I had no time to react when he moved the food and drinks to lie upon my lap. Talk about temperature failure. One leg was freezing while the other roasted from the pizzas. I glared at him giving him my silent growl that this war has yet to be finished. I of course remained silent the rest of the trip. I did not question where he was heading for I was musing around in my own thoughts. My thoughts drifted among many things.
By the time I was brought out of my thoughts I noticed that we were at a beach and not a house. I was puzzled. I mean come on why were we at a beach of all places?
"We will talk before we go to the house," I heard the order in his voice and just sighed.
"What is there to talk about?" I questioned. Even I could not think of what there could be left to talk about but it seemed he knew what was left to say.
"Why did you risk your freedom for us?" I moved my eyes to look down at the foot of the car wishing not to look him in the eyes as I heard the worlds leave my mouth while I felt the stint pain of tears brimming in my eyes. I refused to let them fall.
"I was left to the world to protect all upon this land. My heart could not handle my choice if I let him harm you or anyone for that matter. The balance must be kept and I am to keep it at that." I didn't want him to know the whole reason so I believe jumping around the true answer was right.
"You believe a god could harm me girl?" I heard him growl. My heart began to race but fear would not come I felt no need to fear him but I wish I did.
"I meant to shame to your pride, nor did I know you were no mortal normally my hearers are mortals. What exactly are you by the way? I never did ask your father that either." I heard him scoff at me before answering.
"We are Inu youkai's but my brother is only half that. His mother was a mortal to be exact. So you really were within the castle walls. I thought my father found another whore but soon realized it was still untainted so I believe that one was you." My eyes held my anger but I held them downwards. I refused to let him know that he had angered me.
"Yes that was I. Here's a question were you born with or without a heart because it's becoming hard to tell," I moved myself out of his car some how without the food and made my way towards the beach to fume on my own. I did not hear the other car door open or slam shut. I ignored the aura that approached it was definitely mixed with anger but it had no effect upon me like the owner wished.
"Girl!" I heard the order come out in a growl. I refused to turn to him, after all I was forced to see death so many times that I no longer feared death. Dying was easy to me for that was how I could balance the spirit realm.
"Girl!" I felt him place a pale hand upon my shoulder to jerk me around to face him. I only glared at him showing no other emotion to his eyes. I could hear his threatening growl but I made no move to show him fear or even released my fear. I held strong against this beast.
"What?" was my hallow answer. I saw his glare tighten and him hiss at the sound of my voice.
"You will do well to remember not to disrespect those of the house of moon," I just glared at him as his order came out. His order was nothing to my ears.
"And you would do well to remember that I could kill you in a blink of an eye-" I never got to finish my rampage before being hurled towards the ground with a heavy beast pinning me down. I just did what any other girl would do in that moment. Panic and struggle, I did just that. I panicked and struggled to get out of his grip. I was not one to be fond of manhandling. I hated to be manhandled. I wanted to remain free that was why I always ran from the social workers.
"Girl," I heard him growl out in a threatening tone that would warn anyone of the oncoming pain he wished to commit. But I was not one to listen to those threats. I managed to get an arm free and began to try and push him off. After a few tries I felt him re-grab my arm and lock it beside my thigh with his legs.
I looked up into his eyes and saw the thing I could fear. His eyes were a blood red and he had fangs pronouncing themselves to the world. Markings began to appear upon his face. It seemed his concealing spell was failing under the pressure. I noticed that his blonde hair sparkled in the moon light in a silver color instead. It looked like silk at first. My eyes darted back to his to find him hissing in an ancient tongue that I did not comprehend.
I saw one of his hand move up to rest beside my head. I saw it as a way to death and felt no pain towards his actions. I would let him kill me for he'd have to suffer with my nagging presence and I knew that he would not like that. I soon felt his hand graze my cheek lightly. It only made me shutter at the mere touch.
"Sess-ho-maru," I stretched the name out due to the feelings I was feeling. I didn't like the emotions rolling around within me more then a windmill. The way they twisted and turned like clothes in a washing machine made me near sick. I saw the red in his eyes brighten some at the thought of me lying helpless under him with no effect to harm him.
"Miko, you dare challenge me," it didn't sound like a question to me but a plea for the challenge. It seemed that it was his beast that spoke and it wished for the challenge and wanted to battle for dominance. If it would let me free then I would comply. My body refused to agree with my mind so it continued to struggle to gain freedom from the beast quickly.
I felt him push down with some force to try and still me but to no avail was I going to lie down and submit to this beast. He was my enemy in all sense; he was a demon and I a miko, enemies by right and blood. I closed my eyes tightly as I felt a pain in my side. It hurt more then anything but I refused to submit to him.
I soon felt his face plastered against my neck. It made me open my eyes at the contact. My eyes were wide with surprise. I then felt this foul beast move something wet across my neck. It took everything in me not to moan at the touch upon my neck. Whatever he was doing I didn't wish for him to stop but I had to make him stop before we both regretted it.
"Back off demon," I almost didn't recognize my own voice filled with the lust it held. I felt the beast laugh at me without removing an ounce of pressure from my form. It irritated me to no end how this beast could make my blood rush and wish to kill him in an instant.
"Yield?" I heard his words come out of the beast's mouth in a husky tone. It made me shiver in the after effect of that voice. I wished I never followed this beast. I wished that this beast was not my hearer or the fact that now I was tied to him like a pup to it's mother before it could be released into the world unknown.
"Never," I growled back at the demon. I could almost laugh at my stubbornness, but I cannot when I am faced with a danger that could end it all for me. I felt the beast nip the nape of my neck so softly that it sent shivers up and back down my spine.
I could only struggle for the freedom that seemed to be so far from my grasp. This was no time for me a girl to be weak, I have to show this man that I am boss and will not be taken so easily.
"Girl must yield," I heard the beast order in an improper sentence. It was funny actually to hear him speak with no perfection in that sentence could possibly make any English teacher grate their teeth.
That would be a thought I'd think of on a later time but for now I'd have to plan. I knew I could trip a person in any way and now would be a good time to try a trick. Any trick would do, now to think of a trick to use on the beast that held me captive against my own will.
"Tashio, release me," I commanded. My answer was given in a growl, the beast refuse to move. Hm maybe I could pretend to yield then run when he releases me, yes that is just perfect. Now was a time to put my action into motion.
I relaxed into his grip and waited for the beast to realize that I have forfeited the fight for now that is. I soon felt the beast move his arms to wrap under my back. I felt his move to quick to stop him. I could not stop him. I soon felt the man… no beast, pull me flush against him. It was then that I saw his face. His eyes were a blood red and he had long fangs poking out from under his lips.
My reactions were that of a lost little girl in the far past. I panicked. I could never really grow out of my past. Demons were said to be scary but this one scarred me to no end. My eyes were wide and my body refused to listen to me. My body shook in fear of the man turned beast. His eyes were upon me with a calming effect. I starred into their dark depths and felt my fear reside into the back of my mind as my body relaxed slowly.
"Girl," I heard his gruff reply and felt weak within his grasp. I couldn't think straight to put the plan I had thought of into action. It made me mad that I could not do away with this beast.
"Demon…" I growled out with the slight buildings of my rage. But once again when that man placed his forehead against mine I felt every ounce of anger fade into nothingness. I could only watch in awe as his eyes went from blood red to their normal honey gold glaze. I saw him stare at me with curiosity at how close we were.
"Girl, explain." I could only sigh in defeat.
"You went demon, any more info I could not give you for it is confusing to me as well." I moved my head to a bow state to look at the sand then at him. I didn't need to see his glance to know I still held his attention. My attention though was drawn to the white sand crab crawling by. I smiled at the white creature making it to a hole in the sand.
"Girl, look at me." His orders would make me want to rip his head off in seconds. I could feel my anger coming back this time in waves of fury.
"You do not own me demon," I growled back as I tried to stand but felt myself being pulled closer to the said demon.
"We shall be leaving then," his voice would make me hate velvet forever and I bet he knew it.
"I wish to watch the sunset, you can leave if you want," I stated with not a care in the world. But before I could protest against whatever he would choose to say next I felt him move to stand with me still held within his arms. I turned to shout but was greeted with his face close to mine. All my thoughts were disturbed at his closeness. I knew not what to say or do.
When I came back to my thoughts I found us both in the car with him driving yet once again. I moved to open the door but found it refusing to open. I grumbled and moved my hand to roll the window down to find that the jerk in the next seat over locked the windows and locked me in the car by a child lock. I hate when men can think while us females are still in a stupor.
"You are a nuisance, Tashio." I grumbled. I could hear his snort and I just growled my displeasure.
First I am found unconscious then I find my new hearer. But not before finding out he's handsome… all handsome men come with a price. They are all Jerks! And this man was no different then the rest, well except that he was the lord's first-born son. Why couldn't he be as nice as his father?
Well the next thing to happen I return to my body to get in yet another fight with my social worker, lots of fun that was. I knock my poor doctor out cold and escape to find this prick. Maybe I should have stayed in the hospital. I find his brother in an elevator, jerk number two from that family line.
I get to his office and freaking Chaos comes to yell at me and threaten the lives of more people. If I didn't know any better I would think Chaos has something for me and likes to cause me anger. That god of a man will one day fall to my fist in a bad way.
Hm then what happened next? Oh yeah I find myself under the jerk in the next seat, upon the sand. He was under his beasts influence. His beast was kinder then him but rougher. Then he had managed to revert back to his normal form and thus leading me up to now.
Damn that Tashio to the seventh circle of hell. I could almost hear Chaos' laughter in the back of my mind. He probably would be laughing at me about this predicament. Oh how I loathed that god of a man. If I had it my way I would be dead the day I died. I would have seen my father's soul instead of never living in peace. Maybe if I can keep these two from saying anything I can get him to set them free. Yeah I probably could. Now to make sure these two, dog demon whelps of the previous lord can stay in tune long enough for my plan to catch success.
I didn't notice when the car stopped or when my door was opened or forever how long Sesshomaru stood at my door waiting for me. But that is what I found when I came out of my thoughts. How was it I could think so peacefully around this man who made me angry? I don't think there is an answer to that.
I quickly exited the car and found my way around him to follow him to the door to a massive building. Wait was it even a building. It looked like it could have been a castle at one time but in this day and age that was unheard of in Japan.
I heard Tashio scoff at me and continue on his walk to the front door. I quickly followed him unaware of the location I was in or if it was even Tokyo any longer. When I set foot into the house I would have to have a conversation with that darkness god about my deal.
"Girl, did you not hear me?" I looked up at the man that had just questioned me and gave him that pathetic look that said 'what?' I saw him grumble in dissatisfaction before moving to the side to allow me entrance into his home. It was then that I realized my powers were coming back into my head for another round of 'tug-the-dreaming-Kagome-war'. This was a game that made even my head hurt, not to mention it had side effects on all who are near.
My eyes looked up at Tashio before I felt my knees give out from under me. The last thing I knew that happened before I blacked out was Tashio shouting something to Inuyasha and the two running near. One of them caught me then lights were out to me.
Well the lights to the reality world anyways. Well the world I was in I could call my dream plane. It was a plane in my mind that was always formless and what I thought of would appear. My thoughts were running in circles so my dream plan was a storm of tornadoes and blurs.
I sat kneeled upon the ground hoping for something if anything to tell me why I was in my dream plane and not in the reality world shouting at Tashio and his brother. Hell for that matter why I wasn't shouting at Chaos to agree to my plan.
As if right on cue I felt that very god's aura surround my kneeling form. It was comforting yet uncomforting. His aura was one of the strange ones that one would not wish to understand and thus I would not wish to understand it. I turned my head to only meat face to face with that said god. The closeness had caused me to fall backwards in a panic.
"Chaos to what do I owe the honor?" I heard my voice hitch.
"I was about to ask you the same. It seems neither you nor I had summoned us here, so that means the one who did is still here."
"But who would have that pow-"
"That would be, us." I turned my head so quickly I thought it would just spin off from that contact. I saw two women starring at both Chaos and me with wisdom flowing in their eyes.
"Destiny, Fate, what is the problem now?"
"Yin and Yang have come back into the human world as two creatures. We do not know how long they have been missing. We had just come across this information just seconds ago." My eyes widened a fracture more with what Fate had just told us.
"How is it Chaos did not know when he is to be watching them," I stated with mirth in my soul knowing that it was not my fault for this.
"Hey! I can't keep my eyes on them all the time. Even a god can't stand those two for too long."
"So, what form did they take this time?" I asked them.
"Human-like but not completely sure to much for not even with our powers can we tell that this was happening. Keep an eye out for us Kagome and keep those demons on a tight leash to prove this blind god wrong in your deal. He will agree to your deal if he wishes to see sunlight more." I heard Destiny state with a wicked grin upon her face.
"Yes he will have to let them go or else deal with a house full of mean gods and goddesses for a very long time."
"Ladies! You all are so cruel to me."
"It was not our fault you took your eyes off those two, do you remember the last time they escaped Chaos?"
"Uh… hai, I remember."
"Was it the time they blew up the caps causing the continents to move? Or was it the time they whipped Antarctica of its life force? Or was it the time they unleashed the unit of war upon the world?" I questioned.
"Uh Kags I believe your missing a few." I heard a soft voice chip in from behind me. I whipped around to find yet another god. This time it was the goddess of dreamers herself.
"Yume-chan it is so nice to see you again!" I stated in a happy voice for even her very own name spoke of a dream.
"It is nice to see you again to Kags, so have you made progress?"
"Hai I have. So what were the other times the twins escaped?" I couldn't help but ask. I wanted to know what else the twins caused havoc upon. It would help me find them better though.
"Let's see, oh yes now I remember. Those two were quite the evil spawns and never seem to grow out of their fun. They once set a war among humans versus the demons and in the end causing fewer demons. They had gone so far for attention that they kidnapped a famous person and there was a war about that one, a huge mess that one was.
"Those two have been doing many evil things over their years. They had sported a game of fun where everyone had to suffer with a huge black out. Those poor people, many were murdered by night demons that day. No matter what punishment we give those two they never seem to understand it and continue to set off more trouble. There was another incident where they managed to strike many men with strange ideas about something unbelievable and ended up killing many children. I just wish I could get those two to stop somehow." I saw the woman sigh. Her eyes held more wisdom then any other I had seen and knew she had seen many troubles and just wished for an easy rest for a change.
"What if when we find them you can put them under my watch," I didn't know what I blurted till it was past my lips and into the air. Well it was too late to change my words for they all heard them.
"But my dear the only way for that to happen would be that they accepted you, they haven't accepted anyone not even their own mother. Chaos here can't even get close enough to speak to them much less watch them. How do you expect to watch them?" I heard Fate ask.
"I don't know but I could try, just keep me posted with all the information, we don't need another war now do we?" I smirked at their faces. I mean come on I'm the youngest one by millenniums. I would always be the youngest of their kind but the oldest in my kind.
"Well then the girl has spoken, Fate it is time we get back to see if our spies have found anything," I heard Destiny say to Fate. I heard the agreement before the two vanished. My eyes looked up at my creator then at Yume.
"Well this is my time to leave and start my search, take care my dear and trust me your parents will find their freedom sooner then you think," I watched as Yume faded into nothing with a smile upon her façade. It made me smile in return.
And then there was only my creator left. The one that made me an immortal being that kept the balance that the twins made. My eyes softened a little knowing that even he couldn't keep perfection at his door for too long.
"So even a mighty god must fall, such a pity." I bit back the laugh I wished to release. But the glare only made it hard to hold in the laughter.
"I created you and I can destroy you," I heard him hiss before fading away. After I knew he was gone I fell over laughing. I rolled from side to side laughing so hard that my sides hurt from the painful torture that laughter caused.
"Girl, what is so amusing?" I heard the baritone voice that I recognized so well. My laughing seized and I looked up at the man above me. It was then that I realized I had my head lying upon his lap. I made a move, to move but felt his hand push me back down.
"Answer," his order was strict but commanding.
"I dreamed about the president running around in a ballerina outfit screaming about world domination in a high pitched girly voice," I almost laughed at my lie, almost that is.
"I don't need lies." How did he know it was a lie… damn dog demons and their good noses.
"I was in a meeting with a few gods and was told that the twins, Yin and Yang had escaped their prison and are now running around planning their chaotic return to the mortal realm. I have to find them and make them listen to me. Tashio I ask you for you help not as a girl bound to you for a month but as a normal girl asking for help. Will you help me," I could hear the plea in my voice. I even shut my eyes and turned my head away from him hoping to not see the disgust in his face or the denial to my request.
What he did was not even upon my lists of reactions. I had ended up straddling his lap starring him eye to eye, nose against nose, breath against breath. I could almost hear his heartbeat, or what I thought was his heartbeat. It might have even been my heartbeat that I heard.
What that cold demon did next left me wanting more. He had kissed me softly on the lips before pulling away to answer my plea.
"It suits you not to beg but I shall help you for you are bound to not by just god but now by honor." I almost felt my breath hitch. What he said left me confused.
"What do you mean by honor?"
"You have stirred something within me and have calmed my beast and yet you still intrigue me girl, Kagome I would like to know you more and you are to not hide behind lies for I can smell them a mile away."
I only nodded mutely as I waited to begin this unforgettable trip to find those evil twins of good and bad, nice and evil. I leaned my head up against his shoulder softly. I soon felt myself lull into the dreaming realm of my plane to watch others dream their dreams but not before hearing the final sentences around me.
"Inuyasha we will be going on a trip, we are to call in to the office and tell them we are vacationing."
"Why exactly am I being forced to come along?"
"I can't very well leave you to destroy my home while I'm away now can I?"
"When do we leave?"
"Soon." I sighed softly against the man that caused such strange emotions to erupt within me before my final words reached his ear.
"Evil, cold lord… pull that stick out of… your… ass…" I could feel his arms tighten around me as I fell into the blissful embrace of sleep. Where my dreams became a small reality in the mortal realm. It was there that I could watch over the people and spot out, who was who. It would be there that I could find the twins in whatever form they took.
