3: Arrival

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sango has been walking along the path made to the stream. "Hey, Sango? Do you think when we find Kagome she'll be taking a bath? She usually doesn't without telling us first." Shippo asked, a little worried that Kagome hasn't returned or seen her walking their way.

"I'm sure she's fine Shippo. She probably stopped a while to rest or something. I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned with." Shippo nods, not really convinced but decided to drop the subject. After about another three minutes of walking they reach the stream.

'Hmm, she's not here.' Looking around Sango calls "Kagome! You there?" Waiting a sec to hear a reply she yells again, "Kagome! Answer me!" 'She's not here.' Beginning to worry she keeps a cool demeanor, trying not to worry Shippo.

"Sango! Kagome's water thing, it's laying here!" Turning to see a frantic Shippo staring at a full canteen. "Kagome was here. Where'd she go Sango?" Looking over to where Kagome once stood, Sango picks up the canteen.

"Shippo, can you smell anything on this? Kagome or anyone else?" Jumping on Sango's shoulder, Shippo begins to sniff for scents.

Shaking his head, Shippo jumps from her shoulder landing next to Kirara. "I don't smell anyone but Kagome."

Frowning, Sango stands up and motions for Kirara to take full form. Kirara, meowing in understanding, charges her energy into transforming inter her larger demon form. "Shippo! Lets go. We got to tell Inuyasha some things happened to Kagome." Jumping with accustomed grace, Sango grabs Shippo into her arms and they fly towards camp.


'Why do I get myself into these things?' Sighing to herself Kagome looks towards Sesshoumaru's leading form. 'Wouldn't hurt if he spoke once in a while. I'm not use to the quiet.' "Uh, Sesshoumaru?" Not bothering to answer her Sesshoumaru continues, not wanting to bother with small talk. "Hey? Sesshoumaru? Aren't you listening?" Still no answer. Defeated Kagome looks at her surroundings, 'Lets see, trees to the right, trees to the left, ooh, a squirrel just passed us! How cute. Left, trees covered in vines, blue flower, now that's interesting.' "Sesshoumaru, what symptoms does your ward show? Any abnormalities?"

Turning his head slightly to get a view of her person Sesshoumaru says, "I do not know. She is feverish, and scratches small red markings on her body. Everything my healers treated her with have done nothing to sooth her suffering." Turning to face the front he stops. Kagome looks at him and walks closer. "This is the border of my lands, we are almost there."

Kagome can feel Sesshoumaru's energy increase. 'Hey! what's he doing!?' Feeling something lift her Kagome looks down to see a grey cloud carrying her. "What is this thing!?" Falling to her knees, Kagome looks to the ground. 'Where so high up.' Her pupils dilate and she pails. Grumbling she says,"I hate hights. Why didn't you warn me first?!" Turning to glare daggers at the youkai, Kagome retreats to the inner cloud. "Why didn't you do this the first time?"

"We were not in my lands. If an enemy were to spot me away from my territory, they may think it a chance to destroy my castle."

Sighing Kagome, again takes in her surroundings, 'Cloud, cloud, cloud, and more cloud. Should have guessed it. Wish I had my bag with me. Would have made my job easier.' They've been riding on Sesshoumaru's energy cloud not long before they touch ground.

"We have arrived." Regaining his energy into his body, a skreechy voice is heard in the gates of the castle.

" My lord you have returned! Has a suitable human been found to take care of younge Rin?" Starring at Kagome the green, little bug eyed toad points his staff of heads twords her. "You! You are that human wench that accompanies Inuyasha! My lord please say she is not the one appointed to this task."

"Jaken, do not speak in ill terms to the human."

"But my lord..! Before he can beat Jaken over the head for questioning his keeper, Kagome beats it to him.

"You slimy little toad! Don't you dare call me wench! My name is Kagome!" Grabbing his staff from his grimy little hands Kagome poises herself for and attack.

"Insolent human! Give me back my staff!"

With a glint in her eyes Kagome asks, "You want your staff back?" Seeing him nod, Kagome smirks and beats him over the head until he's plastered to the ground. "Serves you right!" Dropping the staff on his head Kagome looks to see Sesshoumaru with faint amusement in his eyes. 'Cool, score one for Kagome.' "So, where's that, Rin, correct?" Turning to lead the way, Kagome follows with an accomplished smile.
