Chapter 11 : I See a Sea of Red
It had become a daily routine. Kagome would wake up early, have Sen help her decide what to wear, she would tend to and play with Rin, and Sesshoumaru would watch them pick flowers in the garden. Everyday, Kagome would ask Sesshoumaru what he though of the outfit she had chose to wear that day, and each day he'd say, "The same thing I thought about the one you wore yesterday all day long." Then Kagome would blush, and tend to Rin again before she took a nap, then her and Sesshoumaru would take a walk. Jaken, of course, was not too happy about one human staying at the castle, let alone two. Rin, deny it as he may, was not so bad. He had accept her a long tiem ago, and watched over her vigilantly, though he pretended it was a nuisance. However, he did not mind Kagome too much. She was nicer, more polite, and didn't smell like the others, and whether he would admit it or not, he had come to like the girl, though it was quite the contrary before she had come to tend to Rin's illness. He was protective of her as well. Each day Rin and Kagome would feed Ah-Un. The two headed beast obviously knew it's job was to watch over Rin. They would help her anyway they could, and were just as protective of her as Jaken and Sesshoumaru. They seemed to like Kagome as well, so they soon were protective of her, too.
Two days before she was to leave, she was walking through the halls with Sen, and they were talking once more, for they had become friends in the short time. Sen was no longer unsure of asking Kagome questions, and had decided to ask one, one that actually hit close to home for Kagome, but she did not let the demoness see how much it bothered her.
"How come you do not believe that males find you attractive, Lady Kagome?" She had really asked because Sesshoumaru had asked her to find out.
Kagome was quiet for a moment before she said in a quiet whisper one word, one name. "Inuyasha." She said it as if it answered everything, then continued in sentences. "Kikyo is but a shell of who she once was, she is but earth and bones, and has but one small piece of my soul within her, yet Inuyasha would chose her hatred over my love any day."
After that Kagome had stopped to check on Rin, who in turn wished to go pick flowers. She could not find Sen anywhere, but ran into Sesshoumaru. She asked if it was alright that they go outside and pick flowers.
"I cannot go outside right now."
"That's alright. If you lend me a bow and a quiver of arrows I can take care of any demons who think they're going to get the nerve." Kagome was perfectly confident in her skill with a bow, but the truth was they she felt sort of tired today. However, she did not want to tell Rin that they could not go outside.
Sesshoumaru was quiet for a moment, before he finally gave in. It felt almost the same to turn down Kagome as it did when he turned down Rin. "Very well, but have Jaken go as well, and take Ah-Un."
Kagome smiled and bowed. "Thank you, m'lord."
Kagome and Rin sat, making crowns and necklaces of flowers, and Kagome French braided flowers into her and Rin's hair, then started to decorate Ah-Un's harness with them, who in turn gave them an affectionate rub with their heads, much like a cat would do. Jaken stood watching over them quietly. He had been a bit bored lately since he had not had to watch the little girl, and felt as if he should actually do his job today.
All was unusually quiet, and soon three of the four knew why. Almost in unison Ah-Un and Kagome turned their heads to the east, and in response to their sudden, odd movement, so did Jaken. There was a relatively strong demon aproaching. It was close by as it was.
"Rin. Take Ah-Un and go back into the castle, quick." Kagome stood, and drew a arrow from the quiver. Jaken quickly herded the two into the castle, and away from the doors.
Kagome, however, ran quite a distance into the meadow beyound to face the demon. She figured the Shikon no Tama had drawn it's attention, and the absence of Sesshoumaru had encouraged it. She notched and set the arrow in a flash, and let it go as soon as the demon had wipped into the open from the cover of the trees. The demon dodged the arrow, but it's attack was also thrown off. She drew another arrow, but the demon attacked again, putting a deep slash in her side with it's razor sharp claws. Kagome let out a soft cry of pain, and quickly released another arrow that hit the demon in the eye. The demon let out a bellow of agony, but was quickly silenced when Kagome drew three arrows, and shot them all into it's neck, lodging them in it's voice box. She then drew another, aimed and hit it in the heart. It stood perfectly still for a moment, then vaporized and blew away in the wind. She tried to hurry back to the castle but her injury prevented her from doing so.
When Jaken came back out of the castle to tell Kagome to get inside and quit being a crazy human, he was horrified to find her gone. "AAAHHH! Lord Sesshoumaru is going to kill me!" He let out a terrified squeal.
"Jaken, what have you done?"
The toad jumped and found the demon lord behind him. "My lord! The human did not come in when we sensed a demon, and she's not out there."
Sesshoumaru squinted and the toad, then kicked him, sending him flying down the hallway. He then went out into the garden where they had been. He saw something walking in the distance. It looked red and black, which he decided was good, becauseKagome had black hair, and was wearing a red kimono with gold trimming. He walked out a little way to meet her. He noticed she seemed pained, yet she did not appear to be hurt. She had almost reached him when her knees buckled, and she began to fall. She never touched the ground though because Sesshoumaru had caught her. She slowly reached up with her hands and touched the spot where his other arm should have been, and he felt a slow tingling, then before he knew it, his other arm had been restored. Now both his arms where around her waste, and his newly replaced arm felt something sticky and wet. Slowly he held her with just one arm, and raised the other to look at it. It was drenched in blood.. Her blood. He looked back at her, and his golden eyes met her turquoise, and he knew she was in pain. Her eyes were glossy with tears, but she refused to let them fall. She looked like a fallen angel with the flowers braided in her hair. "I'm sorry, I got blood on your arm, m'lord." He was astounded by her. She was bleeding terribly, and she was apologizing for getting blood on him. Her blood was starting to pool at their feet, and it was as if they were standing in a sea of red.
