July's GMDDN PROMPT 6: "Fly Me to the Moon"
Scientific Method
16
Sesshomaru enjoyed the silence that ensued after their blood talk. He knew blood, it was on his daily basis, but he did not know the information she so easily offered. It pleased him that she was the type that would share her knowledge and not keep it and used it as a bargain tool.
She was different from him.
He has kept information from the Lords, from his mother, from Inuyasha…and from her. He knew she was from the future, or he had heard the rumors…so he had gone out of his way to make Inuyasha seeks his help and make the exchange that would give him the miko. He never thought it would be that easy, but he wasn't complaining.
"Can you fly up to the moon?" Kagome asked in a small voice, "Not tonight…but, someday. Humans can't fly. Could you fly there…and, could I go with you?"
Sesshomaru kept his eyes on the brilliant floating orb in the sky, "Gravity."
Kagome's head snapped up in surprise and she smiled, "Yes…gravity. It keeps the moon on the sky. Oh, and I don't know if you were aware…the moon merely reflects the sun's light. It had no light of it own…that why it is not a star. Our sun is a star."
"Hn," Sesshomaru replied absently as he studied her words and the stars in the night's sky thoughtfully, "If I were to go to the moon I will be required to battle against gravity until we made it to the moon. It seems like a long trip…not one to be made for free."
Kagome rolled her eyes and turned to the moon as well, "It's impossible to reach the moon."
Sesshomaru eyed the miko through narrowed eyes, "There's nothing impossible for this Sesshomaru."
Kagome smiled, sadly. It pained to hear that overconfidence, much more when she knew it was impossible. Ignorance was bliss, and not even the taiyoukai knew he indulged in it from time to time.
"There's a protective barrier surrounding our planet," she began, but was interrupted.
"Planet?"
"Yes…we live here, this planet, is spherical…by the way. There's a barrier, it keeps oxygen so we can breathe, inside."
The taiyoukai was silent as he thought, then "What is this barrier's name? What is it formed of?"
Kagome grinned, "Well it's called the Ozone Layer…and it's made by…plants."
The taiyoukai barked a laugh, "There are no plants in the sky," he stated firmly.
"No…but plants produce oxygen, then the sunrays turn it into ozone. The barrier protects us from the sun too."
Sesshomaru kept quiet, until realization stuck, "Humans consume oxygen."
Kagome nodded, "Youkai too."
"We have to kill more humans then, or else the barrier will collapse," he stated with a frown.
Kagome frowned too…was that the reason youkai did not exist in her time? Were they mass murdered to keep the Ozone layer alive? Nah…or at least, she hoped not.
