Chapter 17
Finding a Mate
Mitt: Hello, again, Ppl!
Kagome: So, did you find out who posed as you and Alucard?
Mitt: No, but I have a vague idea of who did it...
Kagome: Really? Who?
Mitt: To tell you the truth, I actually don't know, I was just trying to look cool.
Kagome: Oh...
Mitt: Its so quiet without the boys, isn't it?
Kagome: Yeah, it is... Do you wanna watch a movie?
Mitt: Sure, let's watch "Dark Knight".
Kagome: Oooooo... I've wanted to see that in ages!
Mitt: Yay! Lets go! Oh, by the way, I do not either Hellsing or Inuyasha.
"Who are you?" she asked as she walked towards the pair.
"Huh? Are you talking to us?" asked Kagome as she turned to the demon walking towards her and her Father. She looked familiar, especially that crescent moon that adorned her forehead. And those stripes that she had on her arms and cheeks, they reminded her of someone, except; she couldn't really place exactly where she has seen those before.
"Yes, I'm talking to you, and as the Lady to these lands, I which to know why you are here."
"Well... What happened was, we just managed to teleport here, by accident, really, so, sorry to bother you. If you want us to leave, we'll leave."
"No, it's all right, its just that now is a time of precaution. Tell me your names, please. I am Lady Yuma."
"Pleased to meet you my dear Lady, I am Alucard and this is my daughter, Kagome." Purred Alucard as he kissed Lady Yuma's hand.
Kagome rolled her eyes as Lady Yuma blushed, her Father can really be such a charmer at times.
"Are you demons? I'm sorry to seem rude, but I can't really tell what type of demons you are."
"We, my Lady, are vampires." Kagome silkily answered and almost laughed aloud as she saw the colour drain from Lady Yuma's face.
"Royalty among vampires, Princess. We are no mere vampires, we are the most powerful of vampires." Alucard purred, as he too smelt the fear coming of the Lady demoness in waves.
"Do not worry, my Lady, we will not attack you, if that is what you fear, if you do not harm us, we will not harm you." Said Kagome gently as she smiled at the demoness, reassuring her.
"Pray tell, what are two royal vampires like the two of you doing out here?"
"Well, we just got a bit bored, really. So we just decided we might look around for a bit."
That was when a blood-curling howl shattered through the calm meadow.
"What was that?" asked Kagome alert.
"It sounded like something was hurt." Lady Yuma said.
"I'll go check it out."
Lady Yuma watched as Kagome ran towards where the howl resounded from and looked up at Alucard, confused at the amused expression he had.
"Anything the matter, Lord Alucard?"
"'Lord Alucard'? No one has called me that for a long time. No I was just thinking, what type of vampire, would want my Princess as a mate, if she is always so caring."
"A mate? You are looking for a mate for your daughter?"
"Yes, I think that it would be nice if she was to find a nice mate to look after her, to be there for her, if I am not there."
"Yes, I know how you feel, it is the same with my son. He has been without a mate for a century, and I think it is time that he finds a suitable one."
The two suddenly looked at each other, mischief glowing in their eyes as grins spread on their faces.
"Are you thinking-"
"What I'm thinking?"
"I think I am, my dear Lady."
"I think I am too, my Lord."
"I think that our children should meet sometime..."
"I think so too my Lord, but to make it more interesting, why don't we trick your daughter into it?"
"What an excellent idea, my Lady, I did need a plan for my revenge after all, and I think that this may be the perfect plan."
"You needed to plan a revenge?"
"You don't want to know."
"All right. Ah, here she comes now. I think it is time that you tell her that she needs to meet someone, a friend of mine, I think."
Kagome watched the two in the clearing warily. When she was in the forest, she looked for the source of the howl, and to her surprise, it resounded from two small animals, crowded by other low level youkai. She blasted at the youkai quickly and knelt by the two small animals; shocked at the condition they were in. Both had many injuries, their fur was matted with the blood gushing from large jagged wounds. She quickly healed them both, praying that she wasn't too late. When they were fully healed, she was shocked at how beautiful they were. They were like small jungle cats, as big as you normal cat. One of them looked like Kirara, except with blue eyes and blue markings. And the other had black fur instead of white and red eyes and markings instead of blue.
Both mewed their gratitude and started to rub against her and follow her, she didn't mind though, it would be nice to have some company, after all. She ran back to the clearing, and was surprised when the two cats changed shape into a pair of birds and flew close to her, perching on her shoulders when she stopped near her father and Lady Yuma.
"You're planning something aren't you, Father. What is it?" she said narrowing her eyes at the Nosferatu who was still grinning like there was no tomorrow.
"Why nothing, Daughter. Lady Yuma and I were just talking about friends. And the Lady wants you to meet a very good friend of hers."
"Yes, Kagome. Would you like to meet my dear friend tomorrow?"
"Yes, I think she would." Alucard said cutting Kagome before she got a chance to say anything.
"Then I bid you goodbye, then. I will meet you here, tomorrow, then, at noon. See you tomorrow." Said Lady Yuma, bowing before changing into her youkai dog form and flying away before Kagome could utter her protests.
"What was that?" yelled Kagome, as she turned to her Father.
"Why, socialising, Princess."
"But, but... Fine, but where are we going to stay though?"
"Well I thought that we could take this opportunity to train you in vampire magic. Vampires, like us can survive without sleep for years, you know."
"Really? Then why do you sleep, then?"
"Because, it gets boring if you're awake all the time."
"All right."
So this was how the next day progressed. Alucard trained his daughter in many styles, and all in all, they were very productive, because by the time Lady Yuma was there, Alucard found out that Kagome was very powerful in that she could; manipulate shadow and light, control all the elements at will, is an amazing martial artist, is fluent in all languages, can morph into anything, she was in a way 'alive' because her heart beats, though the funny thing was that, when he stabbed her through the heart, she just regenerated it. So to round it all up, she was practically an immortal all powerful being.
"Lady Yuma, how have you been?" Kagome said, greeting the demoness as she landed in the clearing.
"Kagome, Lord Alucard, I have been well, and what are these animals?" she asked raising her eyebrows at the two small puppies running around her feet excitedly.
"Lady Yuma, these were the two demons that we heard yesterday, the blue and white one is Sapphire and the other one is Ruby." She said indicating to the 2 demons.
"Indeed. They are very interesting. What can they do?"
"They can change into any animal. Neat, huh?"
"Yes, well. When are we leaving, Lady Yuma?" Alucard asked, wanting to set his revenge plan into action.
"Now. But how are the two of you getting there?"
"Well, we can just teleport there, but to do that, you need to give us a mental picture of where we are going." Kagome said, happy with the chance to testing her teleportation abilities.
"All right. But how are you going to see the picture?"
"Just imagine it in your mind and we'll be able to see it."
"Got it, Princess?" Alucard asked after a few moments of seeing the mental image that Lady Yuma showed them.
"Yes, Let's teleport." She then proceeded to pick up Sapphire and Ruby while Alucard put his hand on Lady Yuma's shoulder, and with that shadows seeped around them and quickly engulfed them.
They materialised, exactly where Lady Yuma wanted them to, in the private gardens of the palace.
"Wow. This place is really fancy." Kagome said, after looking around her. The garden they arrived in was beautiful, it had a serene atmosphere about, it, so serene in fact that Sapphire and Ruby changed into snakes and coiled themselves around Kagome's waist, moving up and resting their heads on her shoulders. She absently stroked their noses, while drinking in the beauty of the garden.
"Oh, come, I'd like you to meet my son."
"'Son'? I thought that you wanted me to meet you friend, Lady Yuma." Kagome said, narrowing her eyes in suspicion.
"Well, Princess, I was thinking that maybe, you should be taking a mate, and Lady Yuma just happened to have a son that also needed a mate, so we thought that you both might want to work something out." Alucard said slyly as he watched with delight, when his daughter's face drained of colour.
"Oh no. I am not going to be taking a mate anytime soon. Only when I think the time is right." Kagome said feverishly as she started to back up a little, holding her hands in front of her.
"No, no, Princess, you must at least see Lady Yuma's son. Then we can discuss what happens. Where is your son, Lady Yuma?" Alucard said, teleporting behind Kagome and holding onto her shoulders to keep her from running away.
"He will be here shortly I think. He has caught our scent. Ah, here he is now. Might I present to you Lord Alucard and Kagome, my son –"
"Sesshoumaru?!" Kagome half screeched as she recognised the taiyoukai that was walking toward them.
