Chapter 14
"I'm sorry, I can't help you go. I can't hurt him like that. I won't keep you here, though. If you really want to leave, your best bet is to wait until Lord Sesshoumaru leaves. He does so frequantly. When he does, I'll distract Jacken and you can get away, but it could be days, or weeks before he leaves again," Rin said. "I'm sorry, it's the best I can do."
Katy figeted. She knitted her brow, and after a few moments of contemplation, she nodded. "Alright, I suppose. If that's the best chance I have, then I'll have to take it. " Now she just needed to convince them to stay in the area. She looked at him and her stomach clenched. All those years of pent up sexual tention, were making themselves known. He was tall, lean, with a hard beauty that struck a long forgotten cord and his lethal grace struck another cord, bringing a symphony to life within her. "Focus Kathleen, focus!" she chided herself in Gaelic. she always found it conforting. Her grandmother had taught her the ancient language by the time she started primary school.
Conforting, that was a good word for it, that is, until the toad thingy took note of it. "So that si your native tongue?" Jacken asked, then went off at her in gaelic about how she should be thankful to have gained the attention of one that was as honorable and magnanimus and powerful and...yada yada yada... as LORD Sesshoumaru.
'Let's see how much influence comes with this mate thing...' she thought. "Fluffy? He's bugging me." No sooner had she complained, than the toad was cut in two. Katy's eyes grew in horror and her heart skipped a beat in fear. The fear turned to disgust and she twisted her lips, turning to her host. "WHAT THE HELL!" she exclaimed in English.
"Pay him no mind." Sesshoumaru waved a hand as if to dismiss her horror. A moment later Jacken's body knit itself back together.
"What the effing hell?" Katy asked with calculated calmness.
"Tenseiga cannot kill," Seshy explained, as Jacken took to running around like a chicken with its head cut off, or in this case, one that had been chopped in half.
"Lord Sesshoumaru saved me with it. He's taken care of me ever since," Rin added.
"Interesting," Katy said, her eye were still wide and her mouth was still gaping.
That night she found herself wrapped in warm, strong, loving arms...whether she liked it or not.
"Kagome," she sent out the mental plea. "Fine me."
