Chapter 17
Inuyasha returned to Kagome's room, to see Kagome getting out of the bed.
"Slept well?" Inuyasha asked.
"Very well thank you," Kagome answered, "I fell asleep before you left the room, and woke up only a couple minutes ago".
"That's good," Inuyasha replied, "Apparently there's a feast tonight, you may want to getdressed".
"Did your father say anything about mating?" Kagome questioned.
"He said that it is dangerous, and that your past that part," Inuyasha answered, "And he also said that, it could be possible for you eventually use the Tetseiga. He even said how to do that to.
"Really, how so?" Kagome asked.
A smirk came to his face, "How about I show you after the feast".
"Show me," Kagome said, "Why not now?"
"Not enough time, and I'm hungry," Inuyasha answered.
"Fine," Kagome answered.
Once Kagome was dressed, she and Inuyasha left for the feast. The food was laid out, and both were hungry. And it was obvious for both, Inuyasha hadn't ate since before the spiders, and Kagome from her ordeal that morning had left her tired, and hungry. Inuyasha had just dug in, not worrying about being polite as usual. And Kagome had been little more polite about it, but ate, until she couldn't. Both ended taking some beer into their systems, by the end of the feast. Though neither were drunk from it. Soon the feast ended, Inuyasha and Kagome headed back to their room.
"So...," Kagome stated, "You said there was a method of acquiring some demonic power".
"Since when have you been power hungry?" Inuyasha asked, making it sound more like a joke, "I didn't think that was like you".
"I'm not power hungry," Kagome replied, seeing that Inuyasha wasn't being serious, "You're the one who's constantly talking about it".
"Yeah, yeah," Inuyasha replied, "How about I show you now". He started to approach
Kagome, who was a little confused, and apprehensive. That was until their lips touched, and Inuyasha showed her how to get that demonic power.
"When did you become a pervert?" Kagome challenged Inuyasha.
"I don't know," Inuyasha replied, "Maybe, I learned it from Miroku".
"So you learned it from him overnight?" Kagome replied, "And with him not here, I would doubt it".
"Your assuming that I became this way overnight," Inuyasha replied, "I'm just acting on it now, I'm a little surprised that you haven't shown any similar signs. Wasn't there anything that you wanted to do to me?".
Kagome quickly blushed at that comment, she wasn't expecting anything like that come out of his mouth, "No! Nothing of the sort, I just..., I just..., alright, you weren't the only one with thoughts like that".
Inuyasha had smirked and left that where it was, soon they left their room. And found themselves in the main court of to the side, shortly there after. They seen a man, in armour not of Rohan. He clearly was a messenger.
"Sire, I bring news from Gondor".
"I heard rumours of orks on the warpath," Eomer said, "We've had a couple skirmishes lately"
"Mordor has somehow regained it's stature. We think that there might be up to ten times the number of orks, as there was the last time".
"You have to be kidding," Eomer replied, "Has Sauron been re-born, and leading their army".
"He is suspected, to be their leader, though that has not been confirmed".
"How could of anything survive in there, after the ring was destroyed," Eomer snarled, knowing exactly what this meant, "Elfwine, send a messenger to all villages, tell them to prepare for war".
"Yes sir," Elfwine replied.
"It is thought that there was underground tunnels, that where just covered over, and not destroyed. There where other creatures who has taken control. And clearly knows what he is doing. Managing to stay quiet all these years, without any of us learning of it".
"Nothing good will come with this," Eomer muttered, "Elfwine, I want a count of the soldiers in service".
"Yes Sir," Elfwine replied, "I'm heading out now".
It was later that day, and Kagome found her outside the cities walls. Just taking a walk with Inuyasha. Outside the ears of anyone else.
"So... Kagome, what was it that you wanted to know about?" Inuyasha asked.
"Do think that Naraku has something to do with the Mordor?" Kagome said.
"No," Inuyasha replied, "They said that they were massing all these years," Inuyasha answered, "What is Mordor anyways?"
"It's likely a country," Kagome answered, "But their activity has only been known lately. If Naraku came through, he could easily kill the leader who rebuilt it, and take his power".
"If Naraku made it through," Inuyasha replied, "His heart is still on the other side, it could cut his link to it. Either killing him, or leaving him back in the feudal era. Though if you're right, it would mean that there would be a link back to our worlds".
"If there is a link to our world..., that could mean that Naraku could bring in an army of
demons to aid him as well," Kagome said.
"In other words, our only way back may mean the destruction of this one," Inuyasha said.
"I don't think I could live with that," Kagome said, "If it means leaving this world to its doom".
"I didn't think you would," Inuyasha replied, "I doubt that we will find our way back without their help. So we will have to help them either way. But their numbers are a huge threat. Even with, you, me, father, Kilala, Miroku and Sango".
"It won't be easy that's for sure," Kagome replied, "Anyways, why do you have those two swords, other than Tetseiga".
"If we go into battle," Inuyasha said, "Their numbers could easily keep me away from protecting you. It would help me to defend you if you are more capable of defending yourself".
"Okay...," Kagome replied. Inuyasha handed her the sword, and unsheathed the other,
Kagome unsheathed hers. "Why not just your Tetseiga?"
"It's weight would likely destroy your sword," Inuyasha said, "Unless you use your powers on me. You wouldn't do that on me, would you?"
"No..., I guess not," Kagome replied, "Are we going to get stated now?"
"Yeah, though I think we will just work with your stance," Inuyasha answered, "It won't take long, today, I kind of want to see father teach Ayumi".
"Why?" Kagome asked.
"She's a worse shot than you where when you first used the bow," Inuyasha answered.
