InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Angel ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Sadly, they aren't mine. I only use them for my wicked fantasies.

Chapter 8

Cookie ran to answer the door, hoping it would be Nev. She didn't like the vague note Nev had left, it wasn't like her to take off like this. Especially, since she took Daniel with her. Which meant she planned on being gone a while.

She pulled the door open to find Inuyasha standing there, another man standing beside him. Inuyasha spoke and the man looked at her, "Where's Neveah?"

Cookie's heart stopped with fear. "I don't know, she left me a note and disappeared. She's not answering her cell, that is not like her at all.", the words came out in a rush.

The man spoke to Inuyasha, then she heard Daniel's name.

"She took Daniel.", Cookie answered, before he could translate.

Inuyasha looked at him, "Koga, ask her if anything odd happened in the past few days."

Cookie turned so white that Inuyasha thought she was going to faint. "Some woman came here asking for Nev. She said Sesshomaru sent her, and I thought it was funny that she asked for Nev and not Neveah. Any way, she asked to speak with her privately and when the woman left, Nev looked like someone had hit her. She would only say it had something with her duties and the next morning she was gone."

The man looked at Cookie, "What was her name?"

"I think she said it was Kagura.", she answered.

As Koga translated, Inuyasha groaned. He opened his cell and called Sesshomaru, dreading telling him this.

"What is it, Inuyasha? I'm very busy.", he answered his private cell.

"Have you talked with Neveah today?", he demanded.

"No, but, I left a couple of messages. I assumed I just missed her.", he answered.

"No, brother, I'm at her house and Kagura was here. Neveah is gone and no one knows where she is.", he told him.

His inner demon freaked, "Our mate, where is she? Would she go with Kagura?" He reached out and grabbed the phone on his desk and began dialing.

"I'm on my way.", he told Inuyasha, closing his cell. "Find Kagura.", he barked to the person who answered, and hung up. He called the airport and spoke with his pilot, got up and walked out of his office without a word to any standing there.

Inu Yasha hung up and looked at Koga, "Let's get started, he's on his way." Koga nodded and looked at Cookie.

He smiled at her, "I'm Koga, a friend of Inu Yasha's, he asked me to come and translate. Right now, we need to know everything you know that happened between Kagura and Neveah. Also, you need to think of places she would go with Daniel to hide, okay?"

Cookie swallowed and nodded, "Is she going to be all right?"

"If we can find her, yes she will be just fine.", he answered.

At the museum, Nev felt her phone vibrating yet again. It was doing this every five minutes or so, and she was beginning to get a headache.

Daniel tugged on her hand, "Come on, Mom. Let's go see the dinosaur exhibit." Nev allowed herself to be pulled along, plastering a smile on her face.

She didn't quite feel herself, like part of her was missing. She supposed this is what it felt like to have your heart ripped from your chest. She shook her head trying to clear it, and pretended to enjoy the day with her son.

At lunch, she pulled her phone out and it went off in her hand. It shocked her so, she dropped it. Daniel picked it up, "Mom, it's Sesshomaru. Don't you think you should answer it?"

"No, baby, right now is our time. I'll talk with him later, okay?", she used her sweetest voice.

Daniel didn't like this, she wouldn't talk about him or even say his name. "Mom, that lady....", he started.

"What lady?", she asked.

"The one you talked to before we left. I think she lied to you. Please, talk with Sesshomaru.",he asked her.

Nev's eyes filled with tears, "That's a chance I can't take. For your sake and the sakes of your future brothers and sisters."

Her phone went off in her hand again. This time it was her attorney. She answered it and her attorney said, "Neveah, where are you?"

"I'm in Pittsburgh, right now at the cafeteria in the museum. I needed some time with Daniel, just me and him.", she said.

"You are going to show aren't you? Don't be stupid, Nev, now is not the time.", she advised.

"Hang on a sec, okay?", she said.

"Daniel, I'm going right over there to take this call. Can you sit right here and not move?", she asked. He nodded and she stood, walking to the spot she indicated.

"Lee, listen. I did something really stupid. I got involved with a man who turned out to be not who I thought he was. Now, I just need to be away until he leaves. I've been told that he won't look for me, but, I'm concerned that he will show up and cause problems for me.", she said.

"That would be one Sesshomaru Taisho.", she said.

"Yes, that's him.", Nev sighed.

"He called here, asking if I spoke with you to give you a message.", she smiled into the phone.

"What was it?", she asked.

"He said to tell his angel he needed her, and to please call him.", she said.

"See, is there any way we can keep him away from me during court?", she asked.

Lee Brightweather sighed, "I'll sneak you in and out. Can I give you some advice?"

"Yes.", Nev answered.

"Call him. I heard the worry in his voice, he really loves you.", she said.

"That's what I thought too.", her voice cracking. Her headache getting worse every time she thought of him or his name was mentioned.

"Keep in touch with me, Nev. I'll see what I can set up with the courts about making the hearing private.", Lee sighed, hanging up with Nev.

She decided to alleviate some of the man's fears and let him know she was okay, picking up the phone and dialing the number he left.

Sesshomaru snatched up his cell as soon as it rang, "Hello."

"Mr. Taisho, this is Lee Brightfeather. I'm calling to let you know that Nev is okay and is safe. I'm afraid I can't give you anymore information. Attorney/client privilege you know.", the woman said.

"Thank you for that much. Please, can you tell me if she was with a woman known as Kagura? This woman is dangerous and will hurt Neveah if she can get to her.", he asked.

"She said it was only her and Daniel.", Lee answered, hoping that Nev didn't fire her for this.

"Please, tell her that she could be in danger and to come home. Tell her I will leave if she will just come home and let Inu Yasha protect her.", his voice was full of pain and concern.

Lee gasped and said, "I promise I will make sure she knows that."

Sesshomaru hung up the phone as the car pulled to a stop in front of Nev's house. His heart clenched painfully in his chest, and his head began pounding even more.

Inu Yasha opened the door to Nev's house and almost fell over. Sesshomaru looked terrible, dark circles under his eyes, and very pale. "Kami, Sesshomaru what happened to you?", he demanded. Casting a worried look at him.

"I'm sick.", he snapped.

"But, you shouldn't. She didn't mark you.", Inu Yasha said.

Sesshomaru sighed, "I know that, but, my youkai is crying for Neveah and for some reason I'm getting sick." He swayed just a little, causing Inu Yasha to grab him around the waist and drag him into the house.

He helped into the living room and snapped at Cookie, "Go get the pillows from Neveah's bed, her scent should help."

Koga jumped up and helped get Sesshomaru to the couch, sending Inu Yasha a questioning look. Cookie came running back with her pillows and they tucked them around him. He sighed and closed his eyes, "What do you know?"

"Not much. Just that Kagura showed up here a couple of days after we left and talked with Neveah. She was gone the next morning, leaving this note.", Inu Yasha handed it to him.

He read it over, and it gave no indication where she went. He looked at Cookie, "Do you know where she went?"

"We checked every place I could think of. No luck, but, most of those places would be for adults only. I called Josh, but, he's camping and I don't think he gets cell reception where he is. He'll call as soon as he gets the message, maybe he can think of something I couldn't.", she tried to sound hopeful. She was getting very scared, Inu Yasha explained that Nev would get very sick being separated from Sesshomaru and seeing him, drove it home.

She left the living room and picked up the telephone and called her cell again. Again she got Nev's voicemail, "Nev, please, I'm begging you. Call us, Daniel needs you and so do I. Sesshomaru is here and he is so sick, it looks like he's going to die. I'm scared Nev, for you and Daniel. Don't do this, come home." She hung up and burst into tears.

Daniel sat in the hotel room and stared at his Mom. She was moaning and the pain medicine and ice weren't helping her headache and she was grabbing at her chest and stomach, crying out. Tears formed in his eyes and he was scared, he did the only thing he could think of, he called Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru's cell phone broke the silence in the room, he woke from his light sleep and answered it. "Hello.", he snapped.

"Mr. Sesshomaru, my Mom is really sick and I didn't know who to call. Please, can you help her?", he cried.

A look of relief flooded his face and he said, "Daniel, I can help Neveah, but, you have to tell me where you are."

"We are at a hotel in Pittsburgh, it's spelled H-i-l-t-o-n. Mr. Sesshomaru, I'm sorry I couldn't protect her. That mean lady lied to her, and she wouldn't believe me. I told her that Mr. Inu Yasha would never hit Miss Kagome and that you would never do anything to hurt us.", he started to cry harder.

"Daniel, you are doing a good job of protecting your Mom. Now, I want you to stop crying and listen carefully. I'm on my way, and will be there shortly. I'm going to call you when we are at the hotel. Then, you can show us where she is, okay?", he said.

Daniel sniffed into the phone, "Okay, hurry please. She's crying in her sleep."

Sesshomaru hung up, "We leave for the Hilton in Pittsburgh. That's where they are." He stood up and swayed a little on his feet and strode out of the house to his car.

Koga ran into the kitchen, where Cookie stood, staring out the window. He smiled at her, "Daniel called. We are going to get them. We will probably stay there a day or two, but , I will have Daniel call and speak with you."

Cookie's eyes filled with tears, "Thank you."

Sesshomaru called the Hilton and reserved two suites, one for them and one for Inu Yasha, Koga, and Daniel. Then he called Daniel, "We are right outside, meet us at the desk."

"Yes, sir, Mr. Sesshomaru. I'm on my way down right now.", relief evident in his voice.

Daniel hung up and hurried down to them. He paused and his eyes grew wide at how sick Sesshomaru looked.

"We will both be fine, Daniel. Now that we will be close again. I'm sick from not seeing Neveah, and she is sick from not seeing me.", he explained, following him back onto the elevator.

Daniel opened the door, and Sesshomaru went inside. Daniel moved to follow, but, Inu Yasha stopped him. "We will wait here.", he told him.

Sesshomaru sat on the bed beside Nev, his fingers finding her face and stroking it. "My Angel, I have missed you.", he leaned over and kissed her.

Her eyes fluttered open, then closed, and she mumbled, "Sesshomaru, my love, you didn't leave. You searched for me."

He stood and picked her up, carrying her bridal style, "I would search the world over for you, leaving no stone unturned, until I found you. It is you who belongs at my side and no other, don't you know that?"

He came out of the room, Nev in his arms, "Inu Yasha, will you pack up her things and bring them? Then, take Daniel to get something to eat, and keep him company for a while?"

Inu Yasha flashed him a smile, "Of course, call me if Neveah wants to see Daniel." Sesshomaru nodded and strode off in direction of the elevators, heading for their suite.
