InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Life Debt ❯ Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Sesshomaru ran in his true form carrying an unconscious Kagome between his canine teeth. He was not as large as he could be at the moment, like the demon slayer Sango's companion Kilala he had different levels of size he could transfer to. Though Kilala lacked the strength to take the form of a humane just as Inuyasha lacked the strength to turn into a dog.

 

He ran blindly through the forest relying on his sense of smell to get him back home. He knew that his chances with Kagome were probably ruined but he didn't care, all he cared about was getting her away from Inuyasha and into his own arms. And now he had her, carrying her to his home where she would become his mate and life partner. Or, so he hopes. He saw his castle in the distanced and pushed him self to run faster leaping greatly and landing in the courtyard leading to his personal courtiers. Sesshomaru landed in humane form just before the entrance of his room, softly and respectfully slipping off his shoes before entering the house now carrying Kagome in his arms. He looked down at her softy, watching her chest rise up and down wither easy breathing her lips slightly apart whispering a foreign language with every soft breath. Rin would be happy to see her again; yes, what a perfect excuse, Rin needs her, that's what he'll say. Maybe then she'll be more inclined to stay.

Sesshomaru walked into his rooms looking from side to side to make sure there was no intruder, not that anyone would dare to intrude. He looked around the walls everything in place his nose sniffed for any mishap of his possessions, his suspicious mind taking his surroundings that he was already so familiar with. Sesshomaru walked to his bed gently laying Kagome down on the thick richly colored Indian bed spread quickly pulling off her clothes that reeked of half demon and clothing her with a simple sleeping yokata that was intended for his “pleasurable” guest. When Kagome was thoroughly covered and ready for bed Sesshomaru swept back the soft cover and laid her gently on his bed. Stopping to look at her soft features, she was a lovely creature she would be even more beautiful as a demon. With that Sesshomaru turned on his heel hoping to find Ade and speak of her transforming, which he wanted to happen as soon as possible.

 

Inuyasha was running as fast as he could, Miroku, Sango, and the others following in vain behind him. He was running as fast as he could to the western lands but even he knew that he could not keep up this pace forever it would take him at least a day and a half of constant travel to get there. He was angry, scared, and pitiful. How could he have let Sesshomaru take her, AGAIN! Inuyasha skipped across the trees his heart racing faster and faster as his desperation became more intense. He know what this was about, Sesshomaru wanted Kagome as his mate, he knew it and he would fight tooth and nail if need be to get her. Then this is war, he would fight back he would win Kagome and challenge Sesshomaru for her, and he would win. Inuyasha ran defiantly ahead. Slowing ever so slightly to give a chance for Sango and Miroku to catch up, a small smirk on his face. O' no Sesshomaru you are not going to win this one.

Kagome awoke stretching lazily her mind a haze at the morning brightness, before her thoughts came flashing back to her. Kagome sat up so fast her eyes watered and her head started spinning. She looked around the room squinting at the rising sun. She was in Sesshomaru's castle no doubt about that, but this was much different. The room was about three times the size that hers had been. She lay in a huge circular bed that had been covered with a Indian looking blanket a carpet depicting a giant dog running through the forest laid on the floor and stretched nearly the entire expansion of the room. Her eyes traveled over the walls looking at the scroll paintings and the ancient European art that hung there. Ounce again the room, like the rest of the house, depicted all the cultures of the world. Kagome was stunned also seeing the neatly organized writing tables that were covered with even more scrolls and writing utensils. Kagome was slightly afraid at her surrounds she instinctively knew that this must be Sesshomaru's room looking to her side she saw a long kimono hanging from the door which must be for her to change into. Just as she was about to climb into bed a servant entered. Kagome smiled slightly relieved to see Akina standing there smiling holding in her arms several towels just as they had met the first day.

“Well, Hi there Kagome I wasn't aware that you would be coming back but I'm glade that you have” she said softly waving hr hand in a come here motion signaling Kagome to fallow her. Jut as Kagome expected they traveled down a hallway leading to the amazing bathing room just as before. Kagome was sure he had demanded her to “wash the half demon scent from her body” ounce again, repeating the procedure that she took the vary first day that she had come there Kagome was bathed a now walking back to Sesshomaru's chambers dressed in a bathrobe. Walking down the hall she suddenly saw Sesshomaru come into her view he turned and saw her his lips turning upwards in a smirk as his eyes traveled lazily down her body. Kagome was then painfully aware of the paper-thin WHITE bathrobe she had on. A quickly covered her nipples that were now straining against the thin material, hopping that her crossed arms look mean instead of embarrassed. Sesshomaru came to stand in front of her far closer then Kagome felt comfortable with, though she was to nervous to say anything about it.

 

“How are you this morning Kagome? I trust that you slept well,” Sesshomaru asked as he watched Kagome fidget under his gaze.

 

“Um…fine Sesshomaru I was just wondering what your reasons for forcible bringing me here were THIS time” Kagome said her stumbling start forgotten under her interrogation. Sesshomaru looked at her, how dare she question him, how dare she raise her voice to him, and for the love of god she looked ravishing right now! Sesshomaru looked at Kagome calmly.

 

“Meet me in the dinning hall after you are finished getting ready Kagome, and don't make me Wait long” Sesshomaru stated sliding gracefully past her without even acknowledging her question. Kagome was fuming he just left! Without so much as an explanation! grrr men. Kagome thought thinking it was odd that they hated each other so much because surprising enough they were rather alike. Kagome walked her way back to Sesshomaru's rooms looking over at the kimono that Akina had laid out for her. It was even nicer then the one that she had received before. The kimono was silk and was royal blue the edges colored midnight blue. Scattered through out the kimono was pink flowers about the size of her palm. The obi which lay next to it was such fine silk that it was translucent a soft yellowish-gold that matched that flowers undertones. Kagome gasped this was far to fine. No, she would not wear that. Akina came in a few minuets later expecting to see Kagome fully dressed and ready to put on her obi, something vary difficult to do by yourself.

 

“Miss Kagome why have you not dressed yet?” she asked slightly confused.

 

“I'm sorry Akina but the kimono is too extravagant I cant wear this” Kagome said staring incriminatingly at the fine garment.

 

“It was at the request of lord Sesshomaru, I would advise you not to test it Kagome, He can be rather gentlemanly at times but he also angers quickly, please Miss Kagome just put it on” Akina said near pleading with Kagome. Kagome gave a sigh she did not want to wear that and she most defiantly didn't like the fact that she had to because of some stupid guys decisions. O' well might as well make Akina happy she had been vary nice to her. Kagome sighed again, standing she discarded her robe and begin clothing her self in the soft silk of her under kimono followed by the richly colored silk over kimono. Happy with Kagome's compliance Akina walked up behind Kagome to help tie her obi into an intricate butterfly knot, the extra lengths of the obi flowing down the length of the kimono. a vary high-class fashion that was only done by women of the highlife that did not need to work, nor walk apparently since Kagome constantly stepped on hers. Akina quickly brushed kagome's hair and left the long tendrils hanging down her shoulders then quickly giving her motherly swat on the bottom,

 

“Go on Kagome and hurry, Sesshomaru does not like to wait long” Kagome, slightly surprised by her nonuse of lord suspected a higher relationship between the two then just servant and master and wondered if it may be a sexual one which surprising her again made her rather jealous. What am I thinking!? I love Inuyasha right? For some reason it didn't seem nearly as strong as it used to. Kagome shook her head and turned to leave the room.

 

“Thanks for the help Akina see you later” Kagome shouted over her shoulder as she left the room to eat with Sesshomaru.

 

Inuyasha ran frantically through the forest though he had slowed a little his panic has not died down he had to get to Kagome and he had to get there fast. Only god knows what Sesshomaru's doing to her. Then like a fire angrily burning through the forest a thought hit him. What if Sesshomaru challenged her? She would loose of course but would he actually do something so despicable. It was common for male demons to challenge unwilling demons to a fight in order to win their right to mate but Sesshomaru wouldn't honestly challenge Kagome when he knew there was no way for her to win, right? This was getting to confusing to think of right now Inuyasha then turned his attention to getting back to Sesshomaru's castle as fast as he possible could.

Kagome was now sitting before Sesshomaru officially EXTREMLLY uncomfortable under his penetrating gaze. Sesshomaru continued to star at Kagome until he saw her begin to twitch and fidget under his gaze.

 

“Do you know your heritage Kagome?” Sesshomaru asked softly looking to see her reaction and what and interesting reaction it be. Kagome head fell to the side her eyebrows cocked in confusion and a sweat drop hanging comically from her head. That was his question? That big old penetrating stare for THAT!

 

“Um… Japanese of course, uuu Chinese, Korean, and French, I think, but I have lived in Japan my entire life” Kagome said attempting to remember the vast amount of ethnicity her family had acquired over the generations. Part European, interesting Sesshomaru mused to himself listening to her description. She has no idea that she is part spirit, after all how could she.

 

“You are part spirit Kagome, I can sense it in you” ok so that had kind of been a lie but not completely I mean he DID figure it out. Kagome looked t him confused again, a spirit well duh didn't everybody have a spirit? As if reading her confusion Sesshomaru sought to explain.

 

 

“You are a feline spirit, all things in the world have spirits but there are said to be embodiments of such spirits, you would seem to have spirit heritage inside of you” Sesshomaru spook calmly watching to see how she took the information. Kagome partially remembered her grandfather saying something about this but had not been listening, there are many things she had wished she had listened better to. Kagome looked up at him, trying to read his expression. Why was he even telling her this? Does this have something to de with why he brought her here?

 

“What's the difference between a spirit and a demon?” Kagome asked uncertain that there even was a difference.

 

“ Spirits are pure in every sense they can go through any situation or see any sight and yet be innocent to the world, demons are born into damnation, said to be the creatures of the devil. But those are just myths, the only scientific reason that they are different is because the spirit has the ability to control, speak to, or transform into their spirit totem. Demons are simply more of a… complex version of there own totem” Sesshomaru said hoping to explain it a thoroughly as he could. The last thing that he wanted to do was have to explain it all again. Sesshomaru looked at her again partially imagining her with a soft tail, two little black kitty ears, and sharp claws and teeth. She would be a mixture of adorable and sexy. He couldn't wait. Sesshomaru had been waiting for the opportune moment to do the transformation. He was not sure exactly what he was planning to do yet only that he was going to do it.

 

 

“The reason I have brought you here Kagome is that I need a nurse maid to care for Rin and she seemed to have a favor for you, so, you will stay here and care for her whenever necessary” Sesshomaru said standing and getting ready to leave the room. Kagome jumped to her feet in an instant, though she had forgotten to even ask why she had been brought here doesn't mean that she was going to stay.

 

“What!? Sesshomaru I think you are mistaken. I have work to do with Inuyasha, Rin is a nice girl but I cannot bare the responsibilities with a child.” Kagome had grown more mature over the past year and attempted to use the debating skills that she had learned in speech and debate class that she had taken last year. So far, wasn't working. Sesshomaru turned a blind eye to her somewhat mature response smirking at her outburst that she attempted to cover with her smooth words. Yes, with intelligent speaking skills she would do well as the western lady. Sesshomaru looked at her for a second pondering what he should do in this situation turning back to his original plan he swiftly tuned on his heel saying over his shoulder,

 

“Akina will give you the particulars for Rin's care, have a good day Kagome”

 

 

Akina walked Kagome down the hallway returning her to the room that she had stayed in last time she was here. She seemed rather upset and it made the bunny demon slightly tense her ears perched high as Kagome ounce again let out an angry sigh. Poor Kagome, Sesshomaru was not an easy person to live with, that she knew because she had been his nurse maids assistant when he was just a pup yes, she was that old. Though she only looked to be slightly older then Kagome she was actually 75 years older then Sesshomaru putting her a total of 675 years old. Akina decided to stop thinking about how old she is and focus more on the humane girl in front of her. She was a pretty girl, and she would make a good mate for Sesshomaru, she would also bear strong healthy pups.

 

“Rin usually wakes on her own at about and hour after sun rise, she will probably take it upon herself to tell you that she's awake, but don't worry she is a vary compliant girl and she never argues”

 

“Sesshomaru has made it clear that he both wants to eat breakfast and dinner with you everyday to discuss on Rin's daily activities. But lunch will be just Rin and yourself,” Akina could tell the girl was getting unhappier by the second and was slightly worried about continuing to tell her her duties. Though she was a rabbit demon she was no lightweight but rabbits were naturally adverse to confrontation.

 

 

“Well, here's your room again Kagome I hope that you aren't to upset about being here. Seems that lord Sesshomaru has taken more of a fancy to you then we originally thought…” Akina said with a chuckle suddenly going quite, it was clearly obvious that she had said more then she was supposed to and she was now quickly leaving the room. When she did Kagome sat on her bed, it was fine if he wasn't going to let her leave, there was no reason she couldn't leave without his permission.

Inuyasha was now on the border of the western lands, he could see the vast castle in the distance, pushing himself faster he lunched himself off the tree intending to land on the branches about a hundred yards ahead of him. As Inuyasha came down he was suddenly struck down and thrown hundreds of feet away. Daze and in pain Inuyasha rose from the ground as his friends joined to see the mishap. Sesshomaru had put a barrier around his lands, it was still over four miles to his castle and they could not enter. Pulling tetsiga from his belt Inuyasha lunched himself at the barrier his blade turning red only to be lunched backwards again. Rising to his feet breathing hard his eyes began to turn red. He was not going to loose her now, not now and not ever.
