Chpater 6: Quest
Inuyasha met Kagome and Monty out in the gardens as they returned to the manner. His face was in a panic as le led Mrs. Tremaine along with him.
"Oh, Baroness! I am so glad I found you! I can not find my little Sango anywhere! She was not in her room this morning! I am so worried!"
Monty tried hard to hide her sly smile. "Perhaps she found one of the many secret passages in the house. I will search them myself. Inuyasha, where is Miroku?"
"Still sleeping. His room was locked from the inside. There are other matters. Dhamendra returned with an Italian man has and they insist on seeing you. Also, my sister in law and her two children are here. She refuses to speak to anyone but you. I put Rin in the green parlor. Dhamendra and the Italian are waiting in the blue room, by your office."
"I see. Inuyasha, Kagome, you go to Rin. I am sure she needs a sympathetic ear right now. She is going through a difficult time."
"What do you mean, Monty?"
"Inuyasha. I did not want to bring this up last night, but your brother has been captured and imprisoned. Tours is not nearly as bad as Paris right now, but the situation is still bad. The Compte D'Angers' home was invaded, ransacked and burned to the ground by rampaging peasants. The Comptess Rin, and the children were taken to a farmhouse not far from their home where they were detained. The Compte, was taken to the prison in Tours. He is still there."
"Monty! When did this happen?"
"About a month ago. We were only recently able to get to Rin and the children. The Compte, however..."
"A month! Why in the hell didn't you tell me! Monty! I may not like him very much but Sesshomaru is still my brother!"
Monty got a stern look on her face. "I did not tell you because I knew you would run headlong to France and not think things through. The situation is very delicate. The parliaments of several districts have spoken out against Louis. Taxes are enormous. Starvation and poverty are widespread. Radical leaders, such as Robepierre, are handing out pamphlets and speaking freely on the streets, without reprisal. They are calling for the end of the monarchy, not just the King, but any with a title now have a price on their heads. You are too easy to recognize. You would be right beside your brother if you went. The only thing keeping the Compte alive is Percy's intervention. " Monty blurted out as her face grew red and her breaths grew ragged with anger.
"Monty, I am sorry. You are right. There are efforts to get Sesshomaru out?"
"Yes, we hope to have your brother freed soon."
"Very well."
"Come, Love. We need to go help Rin. She must be in terrible sorts." Kagome said as she glanced back at Monty. Kagome could see the anguish in Monty's eyes, even if no one else could. "This is tearing her apart as much as it is Rin." Kagome thought to herself.
Monty took Mrs. Tremaine to the conservatory and ordered her some tea and biscuits.
"You just sit here. You should not strain yourself so. I am sure Sango is alright. Atalaya, will you stay here and have tea with Mrs. Tremaine? I am sure she would like the company."
"Of course, Baroness. "
"Oh, Baroness, I am sorry to have troubled you in the middle of a family crisis. I had no idea that the Compte D'Angers was in such danger."
"It is alright Mrs. Tremaine. Oh, I have not introduced you. Mrs. Tremaine, this is Atalaya Nath. she is not only one of my most trusted servants, but a good friend as well."
"Would you like for me to play the piano, Mrs. Tremaine? I am an accomplished musician."
"Oh, you sweet dear. That would be wonderful. Music always does seem to calm my nerves."
"I will be back with Sango soon. Don't worry, I know every secret passage in this place backwards and forwards. I will let Atalaya tell you the history. Originally, this was a retreat for Queen Elizabeth. The passages were made initially for her security."
"How fascinating!"
"Well, I must go find Sango."
Monty strolled straight to Miroku's room. Before she knocked, she listened at the door.
"Again, please. I love the way you touch me."
"Sango, dear," Miroku tried to whisper." I am tired. I was up half the night and you have kept me up the rest."
"I can't help myself. I want more of you. I have never felt so wonderful in all of my life."
"Well, it seems that went well." Monty snickered from the other side of the door. Monty carefully knocked. "Miroku? Are you still asleep? We have business we need to attend to. If you do not open this door, I will have to have Malik or Javid use one of the secret passages to get up."
"Just a moment, Monty. I um, have to get dressed."
Miroku helped Sango into her nightgown. He had showed her the secret passage between their rooms after their second round of lovemaking. Sango had retreated into her room for a few hours, but returned to force herself on Miroku while he slept.
Sango quickly rushed through the passage while Miroku got his pants on.
Miroku undid the lock and opened the door for Monty.
"It took you long enough. So, where is she?"
"Where is who?"
"Sango. Mrs. Tremaine is worried sick about her. I know you too are amorous for each other, but really. You two should think about setting a date."
"Monty!"
"Let me guess." Monty said as she stormed into Miroku's room and passed through the secret passage in to Sango's room. "No, pretences my dear."
Sango was in bed trying to pretend to be asleep.
"I know you are awake and I know you were with Miroku last night."
Miroku rushed through the secret passage. "Monty, there is no need for jealousy."
"I am not jealous. I just want some honesty. I knew that you invited Mrs. Tremaine and Sango here for a reason more than to allow them to visit with Kagome. I knew it from the beginning. So, Sango, when are you going to tell your aunt that you and Miroku are lovers?"
"I, um well I. We weren't until last night."
"No matter. Miroku has been working up the nerve for months to ask you for your hand. He even had me select a proper jeweler to design your engagement and wedding rings. He even went so fart as to have some dresses made especially for you, and new luggage for your honeymoon. Yet the sot never got the nerve to ask."
"Monty!"
"Well, both of you get dressed. Mrs. Tremaine is waiting in the conservatory. You can bend your knee for Sango there. Oh, and I took the liberty of informing your butler to take out your fancy kilt so you can wear your plaid to the wedding."
"Monty!"
"Cheers!" Monty said as she left Sango's room.
"I am sorry, Sango. When Monty gets matchmaking on her mind, there is no stopping her."
"Is what she said true? Have you already bought our rings, and my entire trousseau for our honeymoon?"
Miroku blushed, "You are already wearing the engagement ring. Those trunks in the corner of your room here, those are the things I had made."
Sango leapt from the bed and put her arms around Miroku. "You are simply wonderful!"
"And you are simply ravishing."
"Care to make love again?"
"Why not."
Inuyasha was standing in the blue room, talking to Dhamendra.
"Inuyasha? I thought you would be in with Kagome and Rin."
"Rin does not want me there. Kagome can handle things. I have a strong, willful wife."
"I suppose I should introduce you. Inuyasha, this is Lord Sigismundo Celline. He is the only person in history to have ever escaped the Bastille alive. Sigismundo, this is my cousin, Inuyasha Drake, the Duke of Wyvern."
"A pleasure."
"Sigismundo is going to help my sister to rescue Sesshomaru. We hope to have him in our hands before the corrupt magistrates in Tours send him to Paris. Percy and Jeanne are keeping us informed."
"You are not going, Dhamendra?"
"No, Inuyasha. Not this time. I have become too noticeable, and my wife is having a difficult pregnancy. "
"Let me go with you, Monty. This is not a task for just two."
"No, Inuyasha, you will stay here in case something goes awry. I have someone else in mind to help me with this. We will speak of it in my office, later. I am tired."
"This is no task for Miroku."
"Inuyasha, Miroku will be busy with his wedding plans. I have another to call upon. We will discuss it after my nap."
"Alright." Inuyasha grumbled as he stomped off towards the gardens."
"I hope he keeps his temper when he find's out the King thought two women would be less conspicuous."
"I hope that as well. Make yourselves comfortable. My home is yours, Sigismundo."
Monty took one of the secret passages into her lush, private bedroom. It was the one room in the house she refused to bring her lovers. It held too many memories. She had lost her virginity in that room. She had given birth and lost her son in that room. Cornelius took his last breath there. She did not want to taint her memories, good and bad, with her wicked, wanton ways.
She walked over to a short set of chester drawers and looked at an eight inch tall octagonal, gold chest that sat on the top.
She brushed her hands lightly at the doors and turned the key to open them. The sides of the gold chest opened to create a diorama of a ballroom. Monty wound the lever on the inside to make the music box play. Two five inch tall porcelain dolls, dressed in matching silk clothing, started to spin as if dancing to the music.
As Monty looked at the dancing figures, tears welled up in her eyes.
This was a special music box. Sesshomaru had given it to her the day he professed his love for her. The dolls dancing in the small ballroom were made to look like Monty and Sesshomaru.
"To my dearest, Adeline. I will love you always." The inscription read.
Monty slowly walked to her bed and sat as she watched the dancing dolls and listened to the music. She had always wondered how Sesshomaru had known which song was her favorite. He never told her.
Monty both hated him and loved him at that moment. She had avoided him for ten years. She avoided him when his first wife had died. She refused to see him when he tried to woo her back.
She knew Sesshomaru would just find another once he knew she could have no children. Her heart could not take that again.
Yet, it was up to Monty, as ordered by the King, that she be the one to rescue him.
Monty rolled up into a ball and cried herself to sleep as the music came to a close.
Kagome sat talking with Sigismundo as they waited for everyone to arrive for the afternoon meeting.
"So, how did you meet Monty?"
"Ah, well that is a little delicate for a lady such as yourself." Sigismundo said in an Italian accent. "I t would be too shocking."
"I have done a few shocking things myself. They do not call me the 'Devilish Duchess' for nothing."
"Oh, and I thought they called you that just because of your husband's nickname."
"Well, yes and no. I have done my share of 'shocking ' things in the last year."
"I see, well then. I met her at a Bacchanalia held by the Marquise De Sade."
"The real Marquise De Sade?"
"Of course. He was working as a pirate under her father's employ at the time. The Barron helped De Sade keep his coffers full. Whether she joined him in bed, well, I do not know. She was dressed as a man, so it is hard to say whether she actually bedded anyone there, but the party was quite fun."
"I see."
"Oh, now I've done it. I have gone and shocked you."
"So was Inuyasha there?"
"No. I only met your husband today."
"Speak of the devil," Kagome said as Inuyasha walked into the blue room with them.
"So what kind of naughty gossip are you spreading to this wanton Italian, Love?"
"None. All of the naught gossip is about Monty. I did not know she knew the Marquise De Sade."
"Oh, him." Inuyasha grunted as he slid in next to Kagome. "Her relationship with that scoundrel was only financial. I heard the last time she saw him, she got him drunk and tied him to one of his own torture machines. She left him there and his servants did not find him for three days."
Sigismundo laughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes. "Ah, only dear Monty could get away with something like that!"
"Dear me could get away with what?"
"Never mind, Monty. We were discussing what you did to the Marquise De Sade."
"Yes, that was quite amusing, but lets go to my study. We have much to discuss."
Monty said, "A penny for the widow's son." as soon as she had locked the door to the study behind them.
Monty, Dhamendra, Inuyasha, and Kagome turned their signets so the rose was showing. Likewise, Sigismundo turned his ring. The symbol on his signet was slightly different. It had a lion and a rose.
"The knights of the rose welcome the knight of St.Germane to this meeting. Now on to the mater at hand. King George has ordered us to come to the aid of the Compte D'Angers. We are to infiltrate the prison in Tours where he is being held, and aid in his escape. Dhamendra and Inuyasha will travel to Provance and wait there until further instructed. Sigismundo will escort me and Kagome to Tours. We will be disguised as courtesans, at first. We will also have disguises as..."
"No!" Inuyasha shouted as he quickly stood up. His fists clenched to his sides and his face grew red. "I will not allow my wife to do this!"
"I understand, Inuyasha, but..."
"No buts Monty. I will not allow my wife to be put in danger because of my rotten brother!"
"Sit down Inuyasha!" Monty shouted.
"Please Inuyasha, sit down." Dhamendra said as he looked deeply into Inuyasha's eyes.
Inuyasha felt dizzy for a moment, and sat down. "I will not allow it." he said more calmly as he grasped Kagome's hand tightly.
"I am afraid, Inuyasha, that we have no choice. This is a royal command. She is the only other female knight available right now. Plus, her bowmanship will come in handy. If it was not a royal order, I would not take the chance."
"Royal order. I would like to stuff that royal order back up the King's ass."
"I know, Inuyasha. Freely speaking, if it were up to me, I would leave him to rot."
"We will meet with Jeanne and Percy as soon as we get there. Don't worry."
"I can do this, Love. Please, you can not just leave your only brother there to be murdered. Not now. He has a wife and children. I accept, Monty."
Inuyasha took Kagome into his arms and held her tightly. "Please come back to me alive." He said as he planted a small kiss on her lips. "I would die without you."
Monty shuddered. At that moment, Inuyasha sounded just like Sesshomaru had when he and Monty found out that they were not allowed to marry.
"It is settled then. Our quest will get underway in two weeks, after Miroku's wedding."
Inuyasha met Kagome and Monty out in the gardens as they returned to the manner. His face was in a panic as le led Mrs. Tremaine along with him.
"Oh, Baroness! I am so glad I found you! I can not find my little Sango anywhere! She was not in her room this morning! I am so worried!"
