Chapter 30: Decode
When they all entered the waiting room to join Kati and Lili, Rolf turned to one of his men, "Prepare the cage."
"What?!" Kagome demanded. Lili gasped loudly and her hands flew to her mouth when she saw Sesshoumaru.
"In order to transport him, he must be placed in a special cage." Rolf told her.
"Why?" Kagome was growing angry again.
"The vehicle is 'special' to keep them from excaping when transported." Rolf emphasized the word 'special' and Kagome understood. The vehicle was imbedded with some sort of purifying energy. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, almost asking him if it was okay. It may have been her imagination, but it almost seemed as if he nodded slightly, agreeing to be caged again. She studied him a few moments longer, hoping for a clear answer, but nothing more came. He was hard to decode. She didn't know him all that well.
"No." Kagome said, still looking at Sesshoumaru's face. His eyebrow rose slightly, this time she was sure. "Kati, do you mind if he rides with us?"
"Impossible! Her father would have my head if I allowed that." Rolf's eyes nearly bugged out of his head.
