InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forgotten Memories ❯ Absolutely Nothing ( Chapter 9 )

Chapter Nine

Absolutely Nothing

I'm feeling rather crappy. Some freak-show commented, and told me how stupid I am for having a Sess/Kag pairing! What the heck is up with that? If you don't like my writing, that's FINE.

(No, really, it is. I'm not out there brainwashing everyone to like my writing style. O_o You...will...like...Yuki's...works! O_O)

But don't go around insulting SESSHIE (and Kagome)!!! It just gets me all pissed off. I feel like dissing that lowlife freak except they didn't even HAVE THE GUTS TO TELL ME THEIR STUPID EMAIL!!!!! Grr...

And besides, why did you read all the way to chapter eight if you hate the idea of Sesshoumaru with Kagome so bad anyway?

Oh, please give a HUGE thanks to my good friend, Judy, who started editing! We all love you Judy! (Even tho you won't tell me your pn.)

OK, enjoy the new chapter!

The majestic doors opened, admitting the lords of the North, South, and East. First came Mizu, demon lordess of the Southern Territories, the Lands of the Setting Sea. Her long dark blue hair swirled behind her, as she entered. She had large fin ears, decorated with beautiful ruby pearls. Her eyes were a strange mixture of lavender and purple, the effects were stunning. Her body was a perfect hourglass, completed with finely shaped legs. What appeared to be a wave were etched on her forehead, and she held the water omega on her hands, an inheritance from her forefathers.

Raion came in next, demon Lord of the Eastern Lands, the Land of the Blazing Sun. His golden fur shone in the sunlight, as he entered. A long bush of light, golden mane reached lower than his waist, slightly brushing his knee. On his forehead laid an orange sun, the symbol of his status as a Demon Lord. Around this lord's hand was a chain sickle, with a ruby at one end.

Finally came Kirei, the demon Lordess of the Northern Lands, the Lands of the Rising Falls. Her dark ebony hair swished behind her, held high up in her head by kazashi. Her reddish tail hung regally behind her, as she swept into the meeting hall. Eyes a brilliant red, she had a cascade on her forehead. Around her hands was an emerald whip, the royal insignia of the north.

Servants appeared, seating the demon lords and lordesses and also serving them the many drinks and food for this meeting. Sesshoumaru stared at Raion. "You called for this meeting, Raion. I shall give the honors over to you."

Raion nodded gravely. "Well, lets get to it, shall we?" He raised the glass of tea to his lips for a moment. "It seems the time to fight the Outlaws has finally come. Ima (Now)," he began. "I've received information that they've raised in society in the Forbidden Lands. They have been active with the humans, and seemed to have began a secret trade with them."

"Dô iu imi desu ka (What does that mean)?" Mizu asked, leaning forward.

"It means that they're recruiting members and trading weapons with them." Kirei growled, eyes glowing from rage. "It means they're planning an attack on us."

"Hai." Raion nodded. "That is why I called you all here today. Under the Kudoshiwa Contract, all the outlaws and their descendants are prohibited contact with youkai and are banned from youkai society. Therefore, it was not strange that they've been associating with the humans for some time already. It's just recent news that they seem to be meeting for something called `Kassori Kaigi' (Secret Plan)."

Sesshoumaru frowned. This did not bode well with them. The outlaws have been planning this for sometime, and they are most unprepared. "Call forth for any and all fighting demons in our region." Sesshoumaru stated, his usual stoic mask pasted on. "We shall prepare for a fight real soon."

The other three nodded their agreements. But Sesshoumaru didn't even see them. A war was about to break out-but his main concern was to keep Kagome away from it all.

Do not worry, Kagome. This Sesshoumaru vows to protect you…zutto (forever)…

~*~*~*~

*Yawn…*

InuYasha stretched widely high up on his branch. They've been tracking the shards, it seems, for all eternity. Kagome had said that she sensed a shard presence somewhere close to the Northern region. They've been chasing after it all day, and had finally decided to make camp when the sun disappeared behind the far mountains.

Glancing around camp, InuYasha realized that the girls have went to take a bath already. Feh. Women…you can't live with them. Shippo was playing with Kirara by the campfire, showing the neko demon the new card tricks he learned from Kagome.

Another closer look revealed the disappearance of the hentai monk. Frowning, the hanyou decided to drag the houshi (monk) back before the girl really pound him to a pulp.

~*~*~*~

Sango and Kagome sighed their contentment, as they slid into the water. Kagome proceeded to rub the jasmine scented shampoo onto her hair, then cleaning it thoroughly in the fresh spring.

Sango, also cleaning out her body, eyed her best friend silently. Finally, having plucked up the courage she needed, she asked, "Kagome?"

"Hmm...?" came the distracted reply.

Sango were quiet for a moment, as she lathered some of Kagome's shower cream. "Well...what happened between you and Sesshoumaru-sama?"

For just a split second, Kagome stopped her cleansing. Then, just as abruptly, she began once again. "Nothing. Obviously, I've made absolutely no impact on the Demon Lord's life."

Sango frowned yet again. If nothing happened, why does Kagome seems so out of it…And WHY in the name of Kami has she almost bedded…well, "grounded"…him?

Kagome sighed, seemingly to read her friend's mind, continued. "Absolutely nothing." She whispered, stopping movements all together. "Neither love or friendship. After all those sweet moments I had with him, he felt absolutely nothing."

The bitterness in her voice caused Sango's heart to almost break. Swimming closer to her friend, she wrapped an arm around her. "You fell in love with him."

It was not a question but a statement. Both girls knew it was the truth, there was no denying it. Hell, the evidence was smacked right in front of their faces, how can ANYONE ignore it?

"Hai…"

Tears did not fall, but Sango knew Kagome wanted to cry. She wanted to comfort her friend, but the sudden movement from the bushes caught her attention. Glaring, she made an educated guess and quickly threw a heavy rock at the intruder.

"Oww!!" The voice cried out, seemingly shocked to no ends. The girls shrieked when they saw InuYasha emerged, a large lump on his head. He glared at the two naked girls before him.

"INUYASHA?!" a shocked voice uttered, bringing their attention somewhere to their left. Hiding behind a cherry tree stood Miroku, his face smudged with some of the tree sap. However, this hentai houshi did not appear to notice, as he gawked at InuYasha.

Then, appearing to recover, he smirked knowingly. Nodding his head he said, "I always knew you had it in you."

Again, the two girls shrieked, causing great distress to any youkai within ten miles of them. "HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then, before the two males realized what happened, they found numerous rocks thrown at them. Kagome's face flushed red, as she shrieked, "OSWARI! OSWARI! OSWARI! SIT BOY!!!"

Feeling very crappy indeed, InuYasha crashed to the ground face first as what seemed to be the entire world settled their weights on his back. Passing out from the inexplicable pain, InuYasha didn't rise and yell, "B*tch!" for once.

Sango frowned at the males, nostrils flaring from her rage. "Why don't we dress before these two wakes?" She said, still glaring at their dead backs.

Kagome smiled the first genuine smile since she's brought back. "Hai, lets."

~*~*~*~

"I wasn't peeking!" InuYasha yelled for the hundredth time. "I found Miroku gone, so I decided to go after that monk! If I knew you girls would DESTROY me for that, I would have stayed on my tree!!"

"So you're blaming this on me now?" Miroku scoffed, rubbing his black eye slightly. "Admit it, InuYasha. You wanted to see Lady Kagome bare."

InuYasha's cheeks flared, proving everyone's suspicion to be true. "Hentai!!!" Kagome yelled, shaking her head, flushed bright red.

Again the hanyou growled. "NO!!! I would NEVER!!!"

Shippo and Kirara watched with interest from their sitting grounds on Kagome's sleeping bag. Really, adults are interesting. Deciding to break the glaring contest they seemed to be having, Shippo asked, "Why do you always look at Kagome and Sango? When you know they're just going to hurt you?"

That seemed to be the last straw for InuYasha. "I DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He cried, dashing towards the kitsune.

Before he can reach Shippo, however, the cries of Kagome reached his ear. "InuYasha, oswari!"

Crashing once again on the ground, he let out a flutter of curses not eligible for children ears. Kagome frowned, when she found Shippo leaning forward in interest. "InuYasha, oswari!"

*Thud*

Again, the poor puppy has been crashed to the ground. Completely ignoring the hanyou that's getting on her nerves, she promptly stepped on him, as she headed towards her sleeping bag. Kirara and Shippo both made room for the girl as she settled down for bed. "Oyasumi nasai (good night), everyone," were her last words, before turning for a night of sleep.

Heh, I just wanted to put that in, since it's so hard to fit all these information without completely ruining the rhythm of the story. Anyways, the block for this story is gone, as Hachi just got a new dash of "Brain Juice." Supposedly, it helps with the development of our brain, and therefore helps with the story planning.

I really should drink one of those when that Math Test of mine comes up...

Anyways, lots of you have complained that it totally sucks that Kagome is spending time away from our favorite Sesshy. Gomen nasai for not being abled to please you. But, as you can see, I'm very sick of the usual "Kidnapping Kagome, takes her, and then she never sees InuYasha and friends again" sort of theme.

It's just completely unlikely that she'd be swayed that easily. I mean, the girl's LOYAL. After she regained her memory (and come on, eventually she WILL get her memory back) she'll return to her original friends. (At least, I think. I'm really not sure how Takahashi's mind work…*shrug*)
