Dedicated to llebreknit! Wooooo! Remember guys, tell me what YOU want.
Kagome detached herself from the wonderful pillow. She glanced out the window as she got up. Stars dotted the darkened sky and the moon lit the surrounding area beautifully.
She yawned and pulled her bathrobe on. She blinked and noted that she was wide awake now. She hated when this happened. Usually when she had thought too much or she was upset by something it happened. Then she remember at dawn kikyo and Inuyasha would die…
Clutching her bathrobe tighter around her she went to check on the children. To each of their surprise, everyone had their own room. Rin had been afraid of that at first, she had never in her life slept alone before.
The child was clutching a doll that Sango had given her. Her thumb only partially in her mouth. Her lashes fluttered for a moment then she turned over on her other side. Kagome smiled and moved onto shippo's room.
The boy slept in the weirdest of positions. His head was face first in the pillow, his little rump stuck up in the air, with his arms folded under his torso for warmth. His feet tucked in under each other also. (Ha-ha yes I used to sleep like that to!)
She quickly went back into her room and pulled out a plain brown and white dress. She slipped it on and pulled a warmer shawl on. Slipping her feet into a pair of shoes, she left the room and quickly went outside. She saw several torches. She slowed and peeked around the corner.
Kikyo and Inuyasha were surrounded by guards. Inuyasha's robes where bloodied and cut. Their hands tied and blindfolded. They were pushed up into a cart and made to sit in the hay. Sesshomaru came out of the castle dressed in black pants, white billowy shirt and a black jacket with a long cape like tail. He motioned to the cart while talking to some guards. He entered his own carriage and then the group took off.
Kagome shivered in the cold. She made sure to keep some distance between them before following quickly. She stumbled in the darkness over different rocks and roots. The torch of the prisoner carriage was her beacon. She heard some rustling and she quickly stopped and looked around.
The rustling stopped also. Kagome paled and quickly put her hands together to stop the trembling.
'Oh, were is my bow? How stupid of me! I go out in to the darkness with no escort to follow a group bound for execution in the…the …..MEEP!' just then something growled at her. Someone grabbed her arm and she went to let out a screech.
"hel-mmmmph!" a hand covered hers.
"Calm down, little mouse….I would rather not slit your throat so soon." A sinister voice whispered into her ear. She gasped loudly and struggled harder against the hand holding her mouth. Her fingers prying at the persons hand.
"Stop fighting me." The person ordered. She felt a cold hand move up her neck and pinch a nerve. Dizziness covered over her.
'NO!' she tried to fight off the sleep that tried claiming him.
"We shall speak more when I next see you, eh?" a dark chuckle sounded.
"HALP!" she succeeded in pulling his hand off and screaming loudly.
"Stupid little mouse." The voice said venomously.
"Stupid, cat. Don't you know that there is a dog up ahead?" She retorted shakily.
"Hai, but next time you will not speak so freely. Understood little mouse. "She felt cold metal on her arm. Then the sickening feel of her arm being sliced.
"AHHHHHHH!" she screamed. The pain enveloped her and the darkness finally claimed her.
Sesshomaru heard the scream for help and knew instantly that kagome had followed.
"Foolish onna!" he hissed. He got out of the carriage quickly and raced back to find her. He saw a gleam of silver and heard kagome scream louder. He ran harder to catch up. The figure vanished.
