Kagome's POV
oooooOooooo
Chapter Twenty-One: Enlightenment
oooooOooooo
"But Iwant to spend time with you too, Kagome!" Chisaki whined pitifully. "I've missed you!"
Hiding a laugh behind my hand, I composed myself and said, "I know, Chisaki, and I've missed you too. But you must understand how Sesshoumaru is feeling right now. He can't help fearing that something will take me away again."
Chisaki snorted at that, surprising me. "I feel very sorry for whatever tries to take you away. I have never seen Sesshoumaru so furious. When I told him that I couldn't let him follow you, I honestly thought he might attack me. And then Kagutsuchi chose to make an appearance, which I have to say was not one of his brighter ideas, but it did make Sesshoumaru forget all about me."
"Wait a moment." Confusion creased my brow, and I had to ask, "You mean to tell me that, even after I did what Kagutsuchi instructed, he still came here?"
"Yes. But you needn't worry, Kagome." Chisaki sipped delicately at her tea and gave a contented sigh. "Sesshoumaru's fury was more than that devil bargained for."
"How do you mean?"
"Well . . ." Abruptly, Chisaki seemed uncomfortable. "Do not let this bother you, Kagome, but I feel you should know what happened those eight days you were gone." Setting her tea to the side, Chisaki regarded me seriously. "The day you fled, Sesshoumaru captured Kagutsuchi."
My previous confusion increased tenfold. "And that is bad?"
"No, but . . ." Chisaki began to fidget with nervousness. "For six days straight, Sesshoumaru imprisoned Kagutsuchi and tortured him."
"Tortured?" I gasped. "Are . . . are you sure? I mean, I never would've thought Sesshoumaru was capable of something like that."
"Oh, he is more than capable. You must understand that these are different times, Kagome. Peaceful times. However, two-thousand years ago, this was not the case."
Still bewildered beyond reason, I inquired, "What happened two-thousand years ago?"
"War happened." Chisaki closed her eyes in remembrance. "It was . . . horrifying. We did not kill each other, for there are few ways to kill a god, but there were . . . other methods."
I felt the blood leave my face. "Like torture."
"Yes, like torture." Chisaki took a shuddering breath, and she was obviously not happy with what she was going to say. "And Sesshoumaru was the very best at what he did."
