Round 4 , enjoy, this will be my last update until next weekend, have a good week!- DP
With a deep breath Kagome explained it plain and simple with a few words. "My name is Kagome, and I am from near 800 years in the future, and I happen to know one of your relatives 300 years from now, my lord." She watched the Inu lord's digest the piece of information, neither of them looked at her suspiciously because she knew her scent stayed true. After several long moments he spoke. "That does explain a couple things, though answer me this, why are you back here, in this time?" With a release of slow air, she carefully answered. "The object I use to time travel, between my normal time and 300 years in the future has been tampered with, I must fix it so I can return to the proper time zones, as soon as possible."
Inutaisho observed her quietly for a moment. Curious, very curious. This human female sparked his curiosity overly so, good thing he wasn't a cat. He near wanted to chuckle at that thought. Though now, what to do with her, if she was befriended to a relative in the future, he would think it was somehow his responsibility to do something for the female, who was now stuck in his time. He made the choice near instantly. "You shall come with us." Kagome near wanted to fall off the horse at his words, Sesshomaru also perked up at his father's decrement. "Father she is a priestess…" Inutaisho cut him off. "Has she tried to strike at you yet Sesshomaru? She carries the scent of our family, be it from the future or here and now, I would consider that a responsibility to us." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed slightly as his father lectured him on the spot. Humans… Sesshomaru sneered and looked away not saying another word.
Kagome groaned. Well Lord icy over there doesn't seem to be much different from the future, and now Inutaisho was basically cemented to the idea of taking her with him. Great just grand, how the heck am I supposed to get home if I am stuck with a grumpy demon and another demon who seemed overly curious about her. His words brought her from thought. "Well, you seemed to have been granted a reprieve for the time being Sesshomaru, we our heading back to the palace for a while, but mark me, we will finish our escapade at a later date." The great lord of west made his words final. Both younger beings mentally groaning for different reasons. "Lady Kagome, where my domain resides is further west from here, and as I see it, you have only one choice, because would take far too long for my liking to go by horseback. Release the beast and travel by air with us, or though if you disagree, I can do it by force if you like." Kagome glared at the male with distain, she had just got this blasted horse, and who was he to be ordering her around. It is her life, she should be able to do as she pleases.
"I'm quite able to take care of myself, thank you. I have places to go, and things to learn so I can fix my way home." Kagome stated flatly, her anger getting to her slightly, from this male trying to control her life. He arched a brow at her. "Standing up to a demon lord little miko? Do you think that is wise?" He inched closer to her, and without a word in a flash his arm was wrapped about her waist pulling her off the beast, the horse dancing nervously with the demons so close. Kagome squirmed as she was pulled fairly roughly up against him, he dropped her bag at their feet for the moment and gave the horse a swat on the rear, it took off in a rush, heading back in the direction of the village. "Get your hands off me, you have no right to be…." He cut her rant off with a smooth tone answer. "I have every right Lady Kagome, you see, if you are befriended with this relative of mine in the future, which as much as you are cloaked in his scent, I'd say you two have had fair bit of contact between each other, it is my responsibility in his absence to aid you in your current situation." Kagome continued squirming, which was failing epically though at same time he lifted her pack easily swinging it over his shoulder.
Without even another chance Kagome found the ground getting further away as they were rising in the air, both their forms being wrapped in his energy ball of light. The heavy demonic energy made Kagome still, it was quite honestly making her kind of nauseas against her own energy. "If that all it took to make you quit squirming I would have hiked my energy a long time ago." She heard a deep rumble in his chest, which was a hearty chuckle. With a sudden snap they were moving rapidly through the air, Kagome was glad she couldn't see the ground, she would most likely be ill from the sight. This form of travel was twice as quick as Inuyasha's and made it hard for her to focus on much of anything, she had not much of a choice but to turn and hide her face against the male's chest to somewhat ease her current wave of uneasiness. Though as if on cue, she heard his deep smooth voice near her ear. "If you stop fighting my energy so much, you wouldn't be so uncomfortable, let my energy take lead and it wouldn't be so tense between us right now.
Little did he know she had very little control of her powers for most part but she would try. Focusing on her mind inwardly she concentrated and after a couple minutes she did feel a wave of relief, apparently she did something right and got her powers to with drawl, for the time being. "Better?" He questioned lightly, and she only nodded. Kagome was still trying to wrap her mind around this current scenario. She was basically being kidnapped, by a DEAD demon who was not currently dead, she was stuck way further back in time with a broken well not working, the only thing that still seemed somewhat normal was Sesshomaru himself and even he wasn't totally in the character she knew from the future. Kagome had a question burning the tip of her tongue and she spit it out. "Lord Inutaisho, are you still with Lord Sesshomaru's mother?" There was a long pause of silence and he finally answered. "My mate passed away half a century ago, I have no female in my life at this time." So he hadn't found Inuyasha's mother yet. If she figured it right, she was even born yet, probably for not another fifty years or so.
Kagome released a sigh, she didn't know what to do, she could change his fate, and he wouldn't die, she could tell him everything and life would be different for the whole Inu family. Maybe even Sesshomaru wouldn't get so cold hearted about the world if his father stayed among the living. Though if she changed it, how would that effect the future, such as her meeting Inuyasha if she did at all, or Inuyasha meeting Kikiyo, what about Naraku's existence? Shaking her head trying to push away all the confusing questions she gave another heavy sigh, she wasn't sure what to do though she did know one thing, everything happened for a reason though right? Surely she must be here for some reason, just hopefully not permanently.
Before she knew it they were lowering to the ground once more, once the energy cleared her gaze landed on a castle with large gardens around it, the palace itself built into a cliff side basically. She figured it held least a hundred rooms if not more, though it was not that demeaning or creepy to her. It had a somewhat homey, friendly sense about it. They were but few feet from the silver coated large gates which had intricate designs of their family crest she assumed, along with a large transformed canine in all his glory. Kagome took her pack as he handed it to her, she watched him walk forward followed by Sesshomaru, she followed behind, the gates seeming to open on their own and closing as soon as they passed through. There were a few beings bustling about the area, some guards she assumed others servants. Her steps hurried behind the two males as they soon entered the overly large main hall.
Kagome knew she'd never get used to this place, so she hoped she wouldn't be here long. The walls were decorated with tapestries and paintings, rugs laid out across some parts of the stone floors which they walked upon. Torches provided the light which illuminated the kind of gloomy atmosphere. A servant girl was passing through, which looked somewhat human, but Kagome knew better, she figured fox demon more suited the young serving girl. "Kagome, this Yumani, she will guide you to your room, and then take you to my study, which I will be there shortly." With that the Inu pair left one direct and Yumani, turned on hill and went another and Kagome followed her in silence, still somewhat taking in the sights as she did. After a flight of stairs, four hall ways later, she was shown into a modestly decorated room, fairly plain and neutral in colors of dark blue and maroon. "These are your room my lady, though I was told for you to set your things down and follow me to My Lord's study."
Letting out a sigh Kagome did just that, put her bag and bow down on the bed, which looked inviting at the time being and followed the fox woman back out into the halls, weaving and turning here and there as they went. Soon enough though, Yuma, which was way easier to remember currently, stood in front of large set of mahogany doors which had a detailed scene splayed out in it's wood. "This is his study my lady, simply knock and listen for answer." At that the woman left Kagome. Taking a deep breath she did just that, knocked and moment later "Enter" was heard, she went in.
