Kagome's Tale or Kagome's Tail!?
Chapter 9: Lord Keago Enters
Last Time: Inuyasha shrugged as he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "Maybe you weren't ready to know," he whispered in her ear, then kissing her neck. "Possibly," she said with a huge yawn. Inuyasha smiled and picked her up and carried her to the bed and set her down. She fell asleep within seconds after her head hit the pillow and as soon as Inuyasha laid down on the bed, sleep soon engulfed him.
This Time:
Kagome woke up the next morning to the sound of a loud, angry, and booming voice that echoed through the empty halls of the castle. She looked on both sides of her and saw that Shippou and Inuyasha were both gone. Curious of where her son and mate were, Kagome got up and pulled on a rose kimono with a darker pink obi and walked out into the hall. She filtered Shippou's scent out of the several scents of the castle and followed it, only to find the loud and angry voice yelling at her son. "Cat demon, what are you doing?" asked Kagome, her voice as calm and soft as usual.
"My dear lady, this child is a spy for the Eastern Kingdom," explained the guard, standing at attention.
"This boy is no spy, he's my son," said Kagome, walking over to Shippou and picking him up in an attempt to comfort him.
The guard stood stunned at her words. Soon after, he dropped to his knees and bowed at her feet. "I'm so sorry dear lady. I was only following Lord Keago's orders. He is very cautious in these times of war," said the guard.
"Has the lord returned?" asked Kagome, still trying to calm Shippou down.
"Hai. He's in the study," said the guard.
Kagome bowed graciously and started walking down the hall. Suddenly, she stopped and looked back. "Where's the study?" asked Kagome with a nervous grin.
"Use your nose to sniff out the lord."
Kagome nodded and took off.
Kagome walked down the long, deserted hallway as she sniffed the air for her father's scent. She stopped in front of a large cherry wood door where a male wolf's scent was the strongest. Kagome knocked on the door nervously. "Enter," she heard a voice say from behind the door. Kagome pushed open the large doors to find a man that reminded her of Sesshomaru.
The man was slightly taller than Sesshomaru but he could have passed for Sesshomaru's twin. The only differences were his clothes that bore the hunter green sign of the tribe, his teal eyes, his white tail, and his masculine features. "Can I help you?" he asked from a chair on the other side of the room. His voice was deep and sounded strongly like thunder.
The man's voice frightened Kagome but she gathered up the courage to speak. "Are you Lord Keago of the North?" asked Kagome, her voice timid.
"Yes I am. Don't make me repeat my question," said Lord Keago, annoyed that he wasn't answered.
"You might be able to help me. My name is Kagome Higurashi and I come from five hundred years in the future."
"Your mother's name wouldn't be Rei by chance, would it?" asked Keago, his stoic face holding a glimpse of hope.
"Yes it is. According to her, I'm your daughter as well," said Kagome, taking a deep breath.
Keago's lips pulled back to form a huge grin, his canines sparkling. "My western sun has returned! My daughter is home!" he exclaimed in joy. He glided over to Kagome and embraced her.
Kagome silently gasped at her father's sudden display of affection. "Why didn't you come back? I missed you Papa," she muttered, snuggling deeper into her father's embrace. She completely forgot about Shippou, who was being smothered by this father/daughter reunion.
"Mama! Let me down! I can't breathe!" sputtered Shippou as he struggled to break free of his mother's grasp.
"Oh! Sorry Shippou! Are you okay?" she asked after pulling back from Keago's embrace. She sighed in relief when her son nodded and left.
"Anyways my dearest daughter, what can I help you with?"
"Tell me about a man named Saura."
Me: Sorry that I haven't updated in like 2 years! I hit like a serious writer's block but I'm back and that is all that matters. Anyways, the chapters may started getting shorter and on occasion, they will be a pretty decent length. Enjoy. Signed Vegetasgirl91
