Chapter 19
Language and Tea...
Mitt: I'm sorry, but...
Kagome: Yes?
Mitt: I don't own any of you guys! –runs out of the room crying-
After tea with Lady Yuma and Sesshoumaru, Alucard and Kagome were walking around the palace. Before tea, Lady Yuma has somehow convinced the two of them two of them to stay at the palace. So now, Kagome and Alucard were officially staying at Sesshoumaru's palace. Which apparently isn't something that Kagome wanted, since she has been fuming for the last hour or so.
That was until Alucard managed to convince Kagome that they both needed some fresh air and went outside to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.
"All, right, Princess. Now I want to make the most of this vacation, so, there are a few things on our schedule!" Alucard said Cheerfully.
"I think that the sun is getting into your brain, Father." Kagome giggled as she lay down on the grass watching the birds fly ahead.
"And I think that it was time that you made your coffin." Alucard stated as he picked Kagome up from the ground.
"Hey! I was enjoying the view!"
"Too, bad, princess, now show me where you lived for most of your live and then we can get this over with."
"You promise?"
"Yes."
"All right, just go East from here, and I'll tell you when to stop."
"You want me to walk?"
"Is there any other way we can travel?"
"I was hoping that we could fly so that we could get used to the scenery, actually."
"Great idea! Come on let's go!" Kagome jumped at the brilliant idea and threw herself into the air, unfurling her inky black wings. Waiting patiently for her Father to follow suit.
Once they were both in the air, they started to fly East, towards Kaede's village and towards the well. They flew quickly going above the vast green forest, taking a few minutes, instead of the days it should have taken then to get there.
When they landed, their noses were assaulted by the strongest and foulest scent that they have ever come across.
"What is that stench!" Alucard gagged, as he quickly covered his nose and held his breath. It was times like these when vampirism came in handy: the ability to hold thy breath.
"I have no idea, but it's coming from Kaede's hut." Kagome answered nasally, as she pointed to the hut nearest to the forest. She cast an air purification spell into the air and the smell was receding, but was still prominent in the air. So then, she just decided to follow her Father, which is to hold her breath.
She walked up to hut and heard Sango and Inuyasha arguing about her.
She walked in saying "Really? I've only been gone for a few days and this is how you worry for me Inuyasha? Its nice to know who my real friends are."
Thy all whirled about with shocked and dazed expressions, that is except for the source of the stench, Kikyo, who turned around and shot a purifying arrow at Kagome. The arrow whistled through the air heading towards her head, as Kikyo smirked in triumph, that was until, Kagome caught it and started twirling it in her hand.
"What a nice reception, are all of your friends like this?" Alucard asked, coming into the hut, standing next to his Daughter and watching her twirl the arrow in between her fingers.
"Hm? Oh, just some of them." Kagome answered cheerily, turning to her Father to drag him out of the hut and into the well. She got about 10 meters outside the hut, before Kikyo got over her shock and decided to aim for Alucard instead.
That apparently didn't sit to well with Kagome, because once the arrow was aiming at her father's chest, the bow broke in her hands, and she looked up to see a pair of gold and silver stripped rubies gazing coldly at her. The temperature around them started to drop too, as Kagome hissed, "I will tolerate your jealousy and hatred towards me, Kikyo, but leave my Father out of this."
"Now, now, Princess, let's go, before you do something that you'll really regret later." Alucard sighed as he took to comforting her in Romanian.
"Father! You can't be serious! That fucking bitch tried to kill you!"
"Language, Daughter, language. And her time will come, except, don't you want to make your coffin, first?"
"I suppose, then I can introduce you to the rest of my Family!"Kagome said, anger and rage dissipating for the moment as she tugged Alucard to the well.
"This is where the portal is?" He asked as he looked down the well.
"Yup! Come on!"
Then the two Nosferatu jumped down the well, leaving the group behind them shell-shocked.
"What just happened?" Shippou asked shakily.
"I think, that our dear sweet Kagome, has finally gone out of her shell." Miroku said.
Then the lot of them sank to their knees shakily, as they weren't used to the amount of raw energy that has saturated the air since the two came.
"Was that, the vampire?" Sango whispered shaken.
"It was... Oh Shit! It was! I'm going to kill that thing once I get over there!" Inuyasha answered firing into a blind rage. He ran to the well quickly, but before he could touch it a barrier tinged with crimson flared to stopped him.
"Damn it! What the hell was that!"
"Inuyasha, it's a barrier..." Miroku said, touching the dome with interest.
"Can you break it, Kikyo?"
"Of course." She fired one of her holy arrows at the barrier, only to be for it to be dissolved into dust. The dome, however was still intact.
"I guess, we'll just have to wait till they come out again." Shippou said, sitting down in front of the well.
"That, man with Kagome, do not fight against him, Inuyasha." Kaede said as she hobbled towards the group as they took post in front of the well.
"Feh! Why not? He wasn't that strong!"
"He is right, Lady Kaede, I could barely feel power coming from him, most of the power was from Kagome." Miroku said, for once agreeing with the hanyou.
"You did not feel the seals on him? He has powerful seals binding his power. His power unleashed would have been far greater than the one that you felt here."
"But... That's impossible, how could someone be that powerful? Not even Naraku is that powerful!" Sango said panicked.
"They are both an enigma, we must ask the child about this once she comes back..." Kaede said also taking a seat near the well, waiting for Kagome to explain what had just happened.
