Kagome twitched and opened her crimson eyes. She looked around herself before pushing up and hissing in slight pain before it vanished completely. She sat up and looked down at the blood on the floor.
Her finger went to her mouth to find it still wet with blood. She wiped it quickly off and then looked to her wrist to see it dripping with blood. She pushed her sleeve back to find Sasuke's symbol. She ran her finger over the wound and it quickly healed.
Then she whispered "so it has happened then. It was true." She stared at her wrist for a moment before she stood silently like a gust of wind. She was next to Sasuke in a matter of seconds looking at his wrist she didn't find the mark.
She seemed to search every where, until a bright red blood stain made itself apparent. It was right where she bit him on the neck. Kagome easily leaned over and pulled back his shirt to reveal her red crescent moon mark.
Her teeth clenched angrily as she cleaned him up. Then after he was cleaned up, she set her porcelain hand on his face.
His eyes started to flutter open from his first peaceful dream he had in a long time, he swore he was gonna kill who woke him up.
Sasuke reached for his weapon but was stopped with a soft yet firm grip on his wrist. His eyes widened but then he met the crimson eyes of Kagome. He felt himself harden and hiss out "let go of me." She did as told and slid off the bed.
She pulled on her cloak and spoke coldly "Pack." Sasuke narrowed his eyes and growled out "Why?" Kagome then turned to him and said without emotion "i need to Turn in. And My father needs to know you where turned. If not expect someone to come after you and kill you. Don't say you can handle them. They would be a trained professional. You wont die like a normal person anymore. You will leave your only vulnerable spot open."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and frowned when she threw him a bag with his already packed clothes. She was looking in the mirror and fixing her hair when he yelled "You cant be serious!"
Kagome finished her prepping before saying "its either you come with me. Or you die with guilt. Or maybe you'll be hunted down. Your choice" her eyes where as cold as ice, posture no different.
So Sasuke stood and dropped his bag, eyes narrowed. "Fight me for it, in front of everyone. If you win I leave. But if I win" Kagome narrowed her eyes when he said is he won. "you have to stay here with me forever. Becoming my servant. You can't go back on your word either."
Kagome turned cool eyes to him and replied icily "deal" they walked out of the room, Kagome hid her aura instantly.
Sasuke fallowed her holding his sword in its sheath. They walked far into a clearing with all of Sasuke's team mates fallowing them. Orochimaru made himself known with Kabuto. Both where laughing.
Kagome flipped her hood off and then un tied it throwing it onto a tree. She smirked when she smelled some people approaching with intent for sasuke.
Suddenly a blonde jumped out and yelled "where bringing you home Sasuke! BELIEVE IT!" Sasuke growled and yelled "Go away Naruto! Im about to fight someone! If she wins I go with her to where ever she's going. But if I win, she becomes my servant."
Suddenly everyone froze when a small voice started to sing "the king and his men stole the queen from her bed. And bound her in her bones. The seas be ours and bite the powers. Where we will we'll roam."
a small girl appeared and a ghostly call called "Yo ho." it was men. The small girl was completely white except for her coal black eyes. Behind her men appeared, 7 ghastly men and one monk with purple eyes.
Women appeared. All different. A woman with a boomerang, one that was older. Then a male appeared, he was to shoulder length, looking 13 years old. His hair was fire red and straight to his shoulders. His eyes where emerld green and as cold as Kagome's. Lips in a straight line.
In his hand a scroll sat, on his fingers where claws. He was dressed in a black shirt and pants for spying,
everyone continued to sing as he walked over to Kagome slowly.
The minute they all stopped he bowed on one knee and spoke "Mother. Your father and Mother sent me to give you this. For fear you died or worse." Everyone but kagome froze.
Kagome then spoke "Son hand me that letter." He raised his hand as hers went above it then she moved it side to side and the scroll un folded.
She read over it silently.
Dear Kagome,
Please come home soon. We both miss you so. Where afraid you where killed or you where kidnapped or even worse. Kagome come back as soon as you can. We have another assignment for you.
Love,
Mother & Father.
The scroll burst into blue flames after Kagome finished reading it. Kagome turned and folded her hands "My parents have no trust in me." a woman spoke up, the one with a giant boomerang "No my lady. They have great trust in you. But that man was strong, They are parents. All parents fear for there children."
Kagome turned to the woman and spoke "stay. All of you. I have no come home for a certain reason" her voice rose to address the crowd. "The man bit a human! A male. He was turned. I could not get there in time. I killed the man but the boy had already finished transforming. He will not come willingly so we have made a deal. If I should beat him, I take him back to The west! But if I should loose. I will forever be a servant to him."
Her son spoke up "beat him mother. Show him how your the princess and heir to the throne!"
Kagome turned to sasuke and spoke "Draw your blade. Charge it with electricity now." Sasuke did as he was told making his attack ready, sharigan blazing wildly.
Kagome stood calmly but her hands where above her head, thumbs and fore fingers on each wrist. Then the boy called "START!" Kagome un clipped something throwing them into the sky, where one glowed brightly red why the other turned a death black.
The spinning lights fell into her hands to be revealed as two daggers. She posed ready for his attack. Which he threw at her. A shield was put up, it was red until his attack hit it turning it black.
Kagome narrowed her eyes and spoke "Bad move" the shield bubbled before launching the same attack back at him! Sasuke dodged it but then fell to his knees, blood dripping into the dirt.
A dagger had implanted its self in his back. It pulsed and a red net exploded over him. She walked over to him and said "You left yourself open. If you forgotten you will not die as a normal human anymore. If I had wished it, you would be dead right now. Bound to go into limbo forever."
Then she rose her hand the hood flying to her grasp. She was a bout to tie it on but threw it to her son and turned to cut off Kabuto's offending medical hand that glowed with a bright blue.
He screamed as red flames started to burn into his arm. He screamed "Orochimaru help me! Help me! Please sir! Please!" Orochimaru stared bored at Kabuto before turning cold eyes at Kagome.
Kagome stood her ground giving him a absolutely terrifying glare. Kagome then spoke "Kanna. Orb" The white girl nodded before turning to Orochimaru and put him in a orb which he couldn't get out of no matter what.
Then Kagome turned and said "Enma." (AN: Enma is Enma Ai for Jigoku shoujo)
Enma appeared from the shadows, her eyes blood red like kagome's, her hair straight like Kagome's. She looked like a mini Kagome practically.
She then spoke to Orochimaru "Pitiful shadow lost in darkness. Bringing pain and suffering to others. Perhaps its time to die"
And just like that Enma and Orochimaru vanished. Kagome then said "Grab Sasuke, and these 3. Naruto and the other two." She turned to the 3 in question and asked "do you have a problem with that?"
Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto where all in shock. This woman had just won a fight with Sasuke without batting a eye lash. Took down Orochimaru like it was nothing, and killed Kabuto without blinking.
So kakashi being a smart one spoke "no of course not. We'll go with you." he smiled. Kagome stared at him with no emotion before pivoting on her heel and Enma appeared in front of her and bowed "He's dead my lady"
Kagome nodded and then spoke "Lets leave." She pulled her hood on finally then looked at the mark on her wrist, it had turned red. She sighed and felt herself sadden knowing all to well the others could feel the sadness rolling off her.
It had been a rather peaceful trip. Other then Naruto's yelling, Sakura's screeching about her 'beloved' Sasuke's treatment. And Sasuke ignoring Kagome as much as possible.
Finally they reached a Labyrinth. They had also learned everyone's names that where here. Enma Ai, who killed Orochimaru. Kanna who sealed Orochimaru. Sango with the boomerang. Miroku, the band of seven, and Rin who was Kagome's younger sister. And in fact that Shippo was Kagome's son, he was the son of a dead general and maid.
His mother had been killed trying to protect her husband who was killed in the forbidden to talk about battle. Kagome had taken him in right after, and who ever challenged her for her son ended up dead.
The labyrinth was huge. Kagome waved her right hand right then back left. The labyrinth changed right before there eyes.
Suddenly a giant castle was appeared, and many people where working. Women where cleaning clothes in nearby streams. Guards stood around the entire castle swords apparent. Small children all ran around, or should I say some ran around, a few where flying, others hopping, and some walking.
Then they all saw a beautiful woman sitting on the grass reading a book to some small children. Her hair was black like kagome's, except no read streaks. Her eyes where also red like Kagome's. She was dressed elegantly in a white and red kimono.
She saw Kagome and was up before anyone could blink. Then she picked up the end of her kimono and called "Kagome!" Everyone froze, even the children and turned to her and bowed. If it was male on one knee, female bowed low at the waist.
Kagome bowed her head slightly and spoke "as you where." then she said with a smile "Mother" the woman hugged Kagome close then turned and called "Sesshomarou are daughters home!" everyone was back to there duties when a man appeared.
Sakura gasped at his handsomeness. Kagome smiled and bowed onto one knee and bowed her head "Father" He actually smiled at her slightly! He then said "Kagome rise." She did as told and then accidentally her sleeve pulled up revealing something red on her wrist.
Sesshomarou narrowed his eyes before whispering something to his wife. The mother instantly grabbed her daughter's wrist a little roughly. She yanked the sleeve up and her eyes widened. She then whispered "you-why-no-kagome?"
Kagome took her wrist from her mothers grasp and pulled her sleeve down before whispering "I'll tell you later." then she turned and spoke "Dismissed." and moved he right hand to the right. Everyone but little rin vanished.
Rin then squealed "Mommy! Daddy!" she charged forward latching on to Sesshomarou. Sesshomarou smiled again and said "Oh my dear" then they all looked forward to see, Sasuke with Sango holding his arm. Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto all just staring wide eyed.
The woman then said "Welcome to the West castle. I Am Lady Kagura Tashio of the west. And Mate to the Lord of the west Sesshomarou Tashio. I'm sure you met are daughters, Lady Kagome Tashio, and heir to the throne. And Princess Rin Tashio."
Sesshomarou then asked coldly "What brings you to my castle?" Sango bowed deeply and spoke "Lady Kagome beat this one in a battle. Apparently he had been changed and refused to go with her to the west. So they battled. Of course lady kagome one. Then these three tried to take this one back to there village. Lady kagome offered to take them here."
Kagura and Sesshomarou shared a look. Then sesshomarou said "slayer. Open his collar" Sango ripped open his collar and there on his neck was the crescent moon, but it was black.
Sesshomarou growled but then said "Slayer. Take him to the infirmary to pull out the dagger and remove the shield. Then put him in the family wing. The others may go there too. Put this boy in the room next to Kagome's. Put the pink haired across from Kagome's. The white haired man in the room across from mine and kagura's, where keeping a eye on him. And then the Blonde on across from Rin."
Sango's eyes widened before her eyes darted to Kagome's who seemed to be empty of emotion.
Then she said "Yes m'lord." Miroku appeared and grabbed Sakura's and Naruto's shirts roughly as he grumbled "Great now where baby sitters of brats." Sango sighed and nodded.
After they left and rin ran off to play. Kagura and Sesshomarou turned to Kagome for a explanation. Kagome then whispered "Lets go to your office father."
he nodded and they walked toward the beautiful castle. The door seemed to be twice the size of the Kohona door, and 3 times as wide.
The door was always open during the day for servants. The carpet was deep crimson red and velvet to the touch right inside the door. There was a chandelier and two huge stair cases leading up to rooms. Then to each side if you look left or right there where endless doors. But in front was a beautiful sitting area.
It had couches, chairs, and a pearl white coffee table in the middle. Then if you continued, behind each staircase was a small door for a closet. And if you continue there is a large glass door, a patio where the garden was. If you go right you will walk into a dinning hall. The table could sit at least 50 people! It was a deep chest nut brown, with hard wood floors and a nice red Persian carpet under it.
There where 3 chandelier's above the table. One big and two small. The two small seemed to be made of diamonds, one had a cat on it with ruby eyes and deep onyx fur, why the smaller one on the other side was a white dog, with pure amber eyes.
The middle chandelier was amazing it was the cat and the dog together snuggled close with a cat at the fathers side, tall and proud, when a small puppy on the mothers side, happy and innocent.
There where pictures all over the walls of the past rulers apparently. Then if you look to the right in the far right corner was a door. Inside this door was the kitchen.
Up the stairs the both connected, made of pearl it seemed. The ground seemed to be made of velvet. These rooms where the families quarters. At the top of the stairs was the family portrait. Kagura sat elegantly in a blood red dress, her hair was up in its usual style with just a few loose curls framing her face.
Sesshomarou stood behind her, golden eyes frozen, his hands on the back of the black velvet chair. Kagome stood right next to the chair on the left side of her mother, in the same black dress, same straight hair, but she was smiling lightly, her eyes dancing happily.
Then right in front of Sesshomarou and to the right of Kagura was Rin, her bouncing little self in a orange kimono. Her eyes happy and bouncing, smile big and wide.
The carpets where still red. But the hallways seemed to be able to change the lighting. The lights where dim like a fire. To the right was Kagome's, Rin's, and Shippo's rooms. To the left was kagura's and Sesshomarou's.
At the far end of the left hall was a book case.
Sesshomarou, Kagura, and Kagome all walked toward this book case. Sesshomarou then pulled out a certain book and the book case pushed back, the wall to its right slid open just enough for Sesshomarou's build to fit through.
So into the this secret passage they all went in just as the book case popped back out and the panel slid back into place.
The study was a beautiful place. A step up was Sesshomarou's desk, like a little stage. He had three huge book cases behind him, filled with a book on everything.
Then there was a big fire place that lit when they walked in. Pillows where set almost every where for sitting. Book cases lined the walls. And One giant window looked out onto the court yard.
But right was you walk in and look left there was a full length mirror, this one rippled every once and a while.
Sesshomarou walked over to his desk and sat down in the chair. Kagura fallowed standing behind him.
If kagome didn't know them she was sure she'd fear them immensely. Sesshomarou then said "Now tell us. Why dose the Uchiha bear the family crest? And why do you bear his?" Kagome looked out the window and spoke lowly "remember when I was younger and we looked into the mirror to find my future husband?" Kagura and Sesshomarou both nodded.
Kagome then looked to her wrist, the mark was still red. She sighed and spoke "i saw him. But we where not the only ones who saw him. From then on his life was played with. It is impossible to mark someone like we did if we where not...destined for one another. I hated being arranged. And that is why my mark on him is red and black. His is red on mine meaning he hates me as of now."
Kagura choked back a sob but replaced it with anger "Your to young! You can not mate yet!" Kagome turned to her and spoke "Fate has decided my path mother. You mated father younger then I am. Then had me a year later. Do I need to remind you I am over-"
sesshomarou cut in "do not speak of your true age." Kagura turned and hit the panel. It slid open and she left with out a word. Kagome turned sad eyes to where her mother left. Then she felt a change and looked to her wrist. The mark was no longer red but gray.
Sesshomarou then spoke coldly "fine. I agree to let you do what you have to do. But I remind you. The council will test him if you choose him. The ball in in 6 months. I want this to be over with by then. Either you kill him or mate him. Now out you have your studies."
Kagome hit the panel and left without a word.
She walked soundlessly away from her parents side.
As Kagome walked down the hallway she passed her little sister with out a word. Then she opened her bedroom door and closed it soundlessly.
Her room was dimly light, black and red, obviously her signature colors by now. The bed was a 4 post purple heart wood bed. It had a black sheen canopy that could be pulled over it. A giant closet, balcony, velvet carpet.
Her dress dropped to the ground softly as she pulled on something else. It was a kimono style dress. Black and sleeveless. The ties and ribbons where crimson red. She pulled up the pants that ended at her ankles.
She sat on her bed as she painted her toe nails black. Then she tied her hair up in a messy bun. Her lips where still blood red, the rims of her eyes black, heavy black eye liner.
She sighed lightly before walking out of her room. She almost slammed into Sango but twisted her body easily landing a few feet away.
Sango bowed deeply and spoke "I'm sorry milady. I was just escorting them to there rooms." Kagome eyed them all. Her eyes lingered On Sasuke a fraction of a second longer then everyone else.
Kagome then squared her shoulders, her voice cold "Show them there rooms. Then Escort them to the dojo. Get them each a special trainer. Start them all at..." She sized them up before narrowing her eyes "Level N."
The 4 ninja's all looked confused at Kagome and Sango. Sango just bowed and spoke very politely "Yes milady" Kagome nodded once before pushing past them and going slowly to the stairs. Until she remembered something and said "Sango"
Sango responded "yes?" Kagome felt sad all of a sudden as she whispered over her shoulder "Schedule Uchiha's dinner with the Night guards" Sango smiled sadly and bowed "Yes milady. I will tell them to Get him a feeding"
Sasuke felt his blood run cold at the way they talked. It was like a normal thing for them apparently.
Kagome knew Sasuke knew what she was talking about so she waited, staring intently into his eyes for a reaction. Seeing nothing she decided to push him over the edge, him and the others. "As you stay in this castle. You will show respect to anyone higher class then you. That includes children. Im sure even a fledgeling could beat you all."
Sango muffled laughter but shut up the minute the others looked confused. Kagome still on a roll turned to Sasuke and said "Your a fledgeling. Until you get a drop of human. Your training will be more intense. And you will be watched 24/7. your feeding time is strictly only at night. Any earlier will get you thrown into the dungeon. Got that" She paused and smirked "fledgeling"
She smirked and turned around, her hair flipping with her in the process as she walked gracefully down the stairs.
Sasuke felt his blood boil at what she had said. He watched her leave. And that's when he smirked, a plan forming in his brain.
He then made a plan to make her fall in love with him. Then He would go for Sakura right in front of her, and pretend he didn't notice her till he was finished with his fun. He would take joy in her tears.
And her pain. He smirked then frowned. Though he would have to be with the pinkie, it would be worth it to make the high and mighty princess cry.
Sasuke then turned and fallowed Sango and the rest of squad 7 to there new rooms, all the way forming his plan.
