Chained: In More Ways Than One
Shizaru
"East?" Sesshoumaru said with a hint of surprise in his tone. Letting the door slip from his fingers just allowing Kagome to squeeze in to stand behind him before the door closed on her.
The guards came in to take them away but were signaled to leave by the strange demon that Sesshoumaru seemed to be familiar with. Kagome wasn't sure what their relation-ship was but judging by the look Sesshoumaru was giving him it resembled the one he had with Inuyasha.
He hated them but would put up with them when he had to.
Sesshoumaru walked farther into the room with the miko following. "Shizaru, what is your business here?" He demanded as the other stayed quite with an amused look.
"He's getting away!" Kagome pointed out the elder leaving through a side door that she caught out of the corner of her eye. She moved to go after him.
"We have bigger fish to fry." Sesshoumaru put his arm out to stop her from moving further.
Kagome got the message from him that she should just stand back and stay quite. Her mind began to wonder to observed the other daiyokia.
He was wearing a kaiso kimono with a dark blue haori and green hakama with a black sash as well as socks with zori sandals. It seemed to her that this demon was the complete opposite of Sesshoumaru in appearance.
Where Sesshoumaru had long hair this demon had short. Where his hair was white the others was black His eyes appeared black when in the shadows but in the light were purple in color and was also much closer to her height. He had tanned skin instead of the pale porcelain Sesshoumaru sported.
A giant smirk appeared on his face. He was also very open with his expressions.
"Now I'll ask you again, Shizaru. What are you doing here?" Sesshoumaru noticed that East's attention was not on him but centered in the area beside him where the miko stood. He didn't like the way the other was leering at her. His eyes moving from her feet and up her legs while the miko was oblivious to it.
Sesshoumaru stepped in front of Kagome blocking her from view snapping East back to attention.
"I see that you have accomplished the mission I sent you on." Shizaru commented in an amused voice.
"What do you mean 'I' sent you on? Sesshoumaru responded putting emphasized on the one word.
East didn't answer his question. "Now to finish the transaction by handing over my miko." Shizaru demanded extending a hand forward.
Sesshoumaru felt the miko clutch onto the top of his empty sleeve from behind. "What do you want with the miko?" He demanded.
Shizaru scoffs and crosses his arms and takes a step forward. " 'What wouldn't I want with her?' Would be the better question. Who wouldn't want a powerful miko who can sense the shikon jewel shards and she's beautiful too. (which is just a bonus.)"
Sesshoumaru could hear the miko behind him mumbling she wanted to go home.
East continued to explain his plan in good old evil fashion. "You asked what I wanted with her. I want to make her my mate."
Sesshoumaru thought that when he agreed to do this that they would use her for what they needed and set her free again. What he was promised to bring the miko here for wasn't worth her freedom. She reminded him of Rin and wasn't that bad once you got to know her. When she stayed quite at least.
"I've decided this agreement isn't in my best interest and will have to deal with my problem on my own." Sesshoumaru calmly stated.
"You see that's why I added the chain to this equation. So you couldn't back out! You see only I can remove it." East boasted while shaking his finger in Sesshoumaru's direction.
Sesshoumaru's tempter started to flare. He couldn't believe what a stupid situation he got himself into. He started to back up slowly towards the exit. Pushing the miko back with him as he went.
"Where are going?" Shizaru demanded.
"I think I can make other arrangements." Sesshoumaru made a departing remark before grabbing Kagome around the waist and charging the exit.
Sesshoumaru managed to throw open both doors and make it to the hall before he was reprimanded by the guards. It seemed when the elder had left he warned the guards about the situation and they decided to set up a barricade at each end of the hall. Trapping them in the middle.
He didn't want to fight so many trained guards without knowing his limit with the chain and risk injuring the miko. Sesshoumaru ran farther down the hall and jumped through a paper screen balcony leading outside.
The miko squeaked when they hit.
Once he landing on the lawn outside he could hear guards shouting and running in their direction being surrounded on both sides. He looked both ways and didn't see any way to exit but up.
"Hold on and prepare your self." Sesshoumaru whispered into the miko's ear as not to alert the guards to his action. Kagome rapped her arms tight around his neck and closed her eyes tight.
Sesshoumaru enveloped himself in a ball of light and shot off into the sky.
"You let them get away!" Lord Shizaru of the Eastern lands yelled at the elder and his inferior guard force in his opinion berating them on their uselessness.
"We are moving out. The Western lord and the miko must be found." Shizaru ordered his men. They all mounted their horses and road out. The Elder and his staff weren't sad to see him go.
The name I actually picked comes from the three wise monkeys that embody the proverb
"see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". There is actually a forth monkey that is forgotten that symbolizes the principle of "do no evil". He can actually be depicted as protecting his genitals. Each has a name and the fourths is Shizaru… You know because my character does the opposite.
