A Temporary End to the Fun
Just as Sesshomaru grabs Karin by the neck, the front door slams open. This brings an end to my fun because Sesshomaru drops her to the ground. I growl in irritation for the interruption of my fun. I turn to look at who dared or was idiotic enough to interrupt Sesshomaru. Standing in the door way is Tijaro.
"What the hell are you doing to my daughter Sesshomaru," demands Tijaro walking forward with an angry tone.
"The same thing that I do to anyone who is in my service and displeases me or goes against my orders," Sesshomaru replies in his usual unemotional tone.
"And what is that," Tijaro growls back.
"You know what that is Tijaro. You have seen him to do it to his own brother way back," I tell him.
Tijaro rounds on me. His upper lip moves up in a snarl when he sees me standing at the top of the stair case.
"What are you doing here bitch," snarls Tijaro as I start walking down the staircase.
"Returning to my old position," I tell him.
"Who are you I have never seen you in Sesshomaru's service," demands Tijaro.
"I am so sad you do not remember my Tijaro. Well it has been more than five hundred years since then. Satoshi have you kept my things from back then," I ask.
Satoshi bows low to me and goes to find my supplies from when I was part of the court. I pull a small hair pin box from one of my pockets. Tijaro gasps in recognition of the hair pieces but I continue with my preparations. I take my hair down from its current bun and braid it tightly before pulling it back up into a bun and pinning it in place with the hair pins. The hair pins are silver with sapphire tear drops dangling from the top of them.
Just as I finish Satoshi comes in with my old kimono. The kimono is an ankle length one. It is black with a silver crescent moon on the back. Black is one of the colors of my lands which were given to me by my lord. The crescent is the symbol of my cardinal lord. I place the kimono over top of my current clothes and tie it shut with my deep blue obi. Once again, Tijaro gasps in recognition.
"I am sorry Kagome for not recognizing you. You seemed familiar and I am so sorry old friend. How is it that you are still alive after so long," asks Tijaro.
"I will answer that at the meeting of the Cardinal Lords in three weeks. I would prefer not to have to repeat myself. It will be hard enough to have to go over it once I would prefer to only have to do it once," I respond.
"Fine my old friend," he says.
"Go ahead and leave Tijaro. I can see that you are here only to annoy the shit out of Sesshomaru as usual," I say.
"You always knew when I was going to do that," Tijaro says.
"Of course so many years as ambassador for him and watching you do it to other people. I know the tell-tale signs of it," I tell him.
Karin steps forward with anger written on her face. I have one guess as to what she is angry about and I can bet you thirty dollars I am right.
"Father why is this whore allowed to be so formal with you," demands Karin in a low growl.
Yes I was right. My inner self is doing a small dance in my head.
Tijaro lets lose one of his famous glares that could make a bird fall from the sky. Karin flinches under his gaze. Tijaro and I were friends enough back then that anyone that insulted one of us was in a lot of trouble both of us had enough power to make people fear us and to make their lives miserable if we wished it. He turns to look Sesshomaru in the eye.
"Go ahead Sesshomaru," Tijaro says as he turns to walk to the front door.
Sesshomaru quickly walks over to Karin and grabs her by the throat again. His face is scrunched up in a light snarl. I start jumping up and down in excitement. Yea the fun can continue. Less than a second later, Sesshomaru has Karin up against the wall and his face directly in front of hers'. I watch as Karin struggles to get out of his grip but she cannot make him let her go. I know this for a fact because I have watched Inuyasha try and get of Sesshomaru's hold and he could not. Karin is not as strong as Inuyasha and therefore has absolutely no chance of getting out of his hold. As a last ditch effort, she kicks him in the balls.
'Oh shit. Unh might as well. She's gonna die. She's gonna die,' I chant in my head.
"Satoshi get Tijaro on the cell phone quick," I command as I hand her my cell phone.
Satoshi hurries and gets the number dialed. Sesshomaru has kept his grip on her neck and is still recovering. Even the strongest men feel something when they get kicked there.
"Hello," I hear from the other end of the phone.
I grab the phone from Satoshi and say, "You might want to get over her to get your daughter's body," I tell him in a serious tone.
"What did she do now," he demands.
"She kicked him where it hurts," I reply.
"Damn. I'll be there in a minute. Will that be long enough for him to kill her," he asks.
"Might want to make it five," I tell him.
"Okay walking it is," he says before hanging up.
I place my phone in my left pocket of my jeans. I look up in time to see Sesshomaru cut her head off. I remain emotionless because I am so used to him killing people and she brought it down on herself for what she did. Sesshomaru turns around and looks at me. I hold in my gasp knowing it will only bring it out more. His eyes are blood red signifying that his demon is at the fore.
"Satoshi slowly back up and head for the kitchen. There is the usual barriers there right," I ask.
"It has remained as you commanded all those years ago," Satoshi replies.
"Good now go. When Tijaro gets here let tell him how she died and nothing more. I will do my best to calm him down so do not worry," I tell her while keeping my eyes on Sesshomaru.
I sense Satoshi backing out of the room. Sesshomaru's eyes follow her but I block his view by moving to block his view of her. Sesshomaru growls at me for blocking his view of his retreating prey. As soon as Satoshi is passed the doors, he moves to chase her. I jump in front of him and tap him with just a small amount of reiki.
I am ending it here, a nice little cliff hanger. I should be updating the final prewritten chapter. Anyways on with the song or whatever it is.
Someone's gonna die.
Someone's gonna die.
Someone's gonna die.
Oops, someone already dead.
