Escaping
Kagome awoke from her unconsciousness to the feel of someone rubbing a cold sticky substance down her shoulders and around her neck. She opened her eyes to find Chie bending over her and rubbing more of the substance on her other shoulder and arm.
“Chie-sama?”
“Hai child?” Chie asked as she continued to lather the substance thickly on her wounds.
“What happened?” she asked wincing as Chie continued onto her neck.
“Don’t you remember?” Chie looked at Kagome with a worried and sad expression on her face.
“Iie, wait...” Kagome closed her eyes trying to remember what had happened to her. She gasped as she remembered the way Sesshomaru had thrown her against the wall and the hateful words he had said to her. Tears pooled in her eyes as the pain returned anew from her wounds.
“Are ye ok child?” Chie asked wiping Kagome’s face with a handkerchief that she pulled from her kimono pocket.
“Hai, I guess so.” She remained silent as Chie finished winding a roll of white cloth around her arms, and neck.
‘I need to escape from here or else Sesshomaru will kill me.’ Kagome began forming a plan of escape in her mind hoping that she would not get caught; she could think of many punishments Sesshomaru had in store for her, making her shiver in fear.
“Miko?” Chie looked in Kagome’s eyes once more as she saw Kagome shiver in fear.
“Hai? I’m fine Chie-sama.”
“If your sure, I’ll return later today” Chie gathered up her ointment and extra bandages and left the room.
‘Chie is such a nice demon, I wish Sesshomaru were not so mean and emotionless. What am I talking about, I acted just the same way later today.’
Kagome slowly swung her legs over the side of the bed making waves of pain travel from her neck down to her hands as tears of pain escaped from her eyes. Wobbling slightly on her legs she made her way to a wooden door that led onto a balcony that overlooked a beautiful garden with thousands of flowers in bloom and mountains rising in the background. Kagome leaned against the balcony rail and watched the sun set, as the orange, red, yellow, and pink blended together in a beautiful pattern.
‘I wonder what Shippo and the rest of the gang are doing?’ she thought to herself with a sigh.
‘Sesshomaru will never let me go no matter what I help him with.’
Then escape tonight.’
‘But what if he catches me?’
Then you will be caught’ her conscious replied sarcastically.
‘Duh, I’m not that big of a baka.’
‘Keh!’
‘Maybe you’re right, I should just try to escape.’
‘Exactly my point.’
‘But eventually Sesshomaru will find me and kill me.’
‘I thought you didn’t care if you lived or died?’
‘If I died then at least I’ll be with my Otou.’
‘Then run tonight.’
‘Fine, as long as you leave.’
‘Keh, I’m going sayonara!’
‘Now to escape’ Kagome finally having made up her mind returned back into the room, shutting the wooden door behind her. Kagome closed her eyes and began concentrating on her Miko powers. Once she had found her powers she put a concealing spell around her body so that her scent was unnoticeable. She then stealthly crept out of the door confining her in her room and made her way down the hallway making sure she memorized where she was going, in case she went the wrong way.
Kagome came to the end of the hallway where two corridors veered off to the right and left, she took the right, confident that she was going the correct way. She came to two more dead ends that veered either right or left, where she always took the right. After she was sure no one would notice her she began looking at the walls where beautiful tapestries and paintings hung with exquisite pictures adorning them.
Kagome soon came to the top of a long stairway made from white marble, which she descended quickly without making any sound. She froze in her steps when she heard at least two voices coming from a pair of double doors that she suspected led outside of the castle.
‘Great, now how am I supposed to get past them?’ She pressed herself up against a nearby wall in the shadows as she tried to think of a way to get pass the guards. After five minutes of waiting she turned back around the way she had come hoping that there was a different exit to escape from.
Kagome fell to the floor with a loud thud. She rubbed her backside wondering how she could have run into a wall.
‘Wait, walls aren’t silky,’ she looked up in fright to see Sesshomaru staring down at her with anger evident on his handsome features.
“Miko?”
“Sesshomaru?” Kagome reverted her face back to it's mask, hiding her emotions behind it like Sesshomaru did.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he calmly stated. He watched her with an impassive face as she picked herself up from the cold hard floor and remained silent not answering his question.
“I asked you a question wench” he said growing agitated at her silence.
“Leaving” she defiantly stated notching her chin up.
“Iie, you are staying here wench.”
“Can’t you say my name or do you not have any manners?”
“Bitch, you are not worthy of your name and for insulting a higher being than yourself, you will be punished once again."
“Whatever my Lord says” she said with sarcasm lacing her voice. Sesshomaru grabbed her hair from the back of her head and pulled her forward until she was merely an inch from his nose. He smelled the scent of jasmine and honey as he breathed in her smell without registering what he was doing. He immediately forgot what he was about to do to Kagome as his youkai blood demanded that he make her his as his lower regions grew hard at the images that flashed through his mind.
‘I will not!’
Take her, she would make the perfect mate' his beast said while licking it's large canines.
‘Iie, I am not my father!’
Iie but you are his son.’
‘Kagome is a worthless ningen.’
‘Then why did you just call her by her name?’
‘Leave.’
‘Iie..’
‘Leave!’
Ok, ok but I’ll return.’ Once Sesshomaru felt his conscious leave from his rational mind he looked down at the young girl in his arms. Without really thinking what he was doing he bent his head down and breathed in her tantalizing scent making his youkai blood stir once again.
“Shimatta” Sesshomaru threw her over his shoulder roughly and with his demon speed raced up to her room and deposited her on the bed.
“Are you not going to give me my punishment?” Kagome asked as she pushed herself up on her elbows, as looking into Sesshomaru’s golden eyes that were so much like Inuyasha’s but somehow different.
“Don’t get your hopes up wench, I will return” and with that the great Taiyoukai left Kagome’s room where she looked on in confusion, as he seemed almost enthusiastic about something.
