Chapter 14

 

 

It had taken nearly two days to catch up to the wind witch. It seemed that she was having a problem finding a village that would accept her and Kanna. He couldn't really the blame villagers she was not known to be a peaceful creature. More like a blood lusting bitch from hell and that was putting it lightly.

 

When he did catch up to her she was sitting next to a river crying. He had almost thought that perhaps he found the person. Never in his life did he think the day would come when Kagura would cry. Who knew that she could?

 

His eye cast over to see the void demon or the girl whom once was a void demon picking flowers. It had almost reminded him of Rin. A bright smile lit her face when she noticed him and bounced through the flowers to get to his side.

 

“Tell me. Why is she crying?” Sesshomaru asked the girl.

 

“Well, I think it is because no one will help us and the wolves have been trying to catch us. Also, we have no home, but I think that it is nice out …” Sesshomaru held up his hand to stop the chatter. Yes she was a little too much Rin.

 

“I will see what I can do.” Sesshomaru said patting the girl on the head and walking over Kagura.

 

“Kagura” Sesshomaru said getting her attention through her sniffling and tears.

 

“Lo..rd…Ses..sho…maru.” She whimpered.

 

“Get a hold of yourself wind witch. I am in need of your assistance.” He said tossing his hair in aggravation that he had to lower himself to ask her for help.

 

Kagura looked at him as if he had grown a second head. Did he finally want her now that Naraku was gone? She sucked the tears back inside and jumped to her feet.

 

“My…my assistance. What can I do for you? I had thought that you mated the miko or did you want me to try and take the look alike.” She tried to coo seductively.

 

He scrunched his nose at the thought and regained his composure. “I need you to become the southern lords concubine.” He finished with ease.

 

“WHAT?! What the hell Sesshomaru? I don't even know the southern lord!” Kagura screeched and Sesshomaru's ears popped slightly.

 

“I don't see what the problem is. You have no place to go and he can give you a home. You have no one to protect and he can provide it. He is very powerful and very rich.” Sesshomaru said with his usual bored enthusiasm.

 

Kagura's mind was flipping with the information. They did need a home, but contrary to popular belief she was in fact still a virgin. She had only been born a couple of years ago. They also needed protection from the wolves.

 

Looking over to Kanna she frowned. “What if he doesn't like me.” She whispered.

 

Sesshomaru quirked a brow. “Where is your confidence woman. Get the child and follow me back to the palace. Stop acting like…just stop” He said almost flustered with her strange behavior.

 

Things where not going so well for Kagome back at the palace. In fact the best way to describe it would be nightmare. She had taken to rubbing her temples and Rin had said that she looked like Lord Sesshomaru. Growling had become second nature and Kagome finally understood why Sesshomaru was so angry all the time.

 

A hand on her shoulder took her out of her musings as she looked up to see Maru. He had just met with the lords from the other lands. He was also having a rough time trying to deal with all the responsibilities. They had started to feel sorry for Sesshomaru having to be surrounded by complete idiots and whiny bitches.

 

They had found that if they hid in the study people would leave them alone. They had assumed that they had paper work to deal with. Little did the others know that they went there to hide and pull them selves together. It was that or Kagome go on a purification spree.

 

“Rough day with the other lords dear.” Kagome joked as she looked at Maru's frown.

 

“They try my patience.” Maru said in a clipped tone and Kagome had the urge to draw a little crescent moon on his head.

 

“You sound more and more like Sesshomaru. I feel sorry for him.” Kagome sighed.

 

“Oh and why is that?” Sesshomaru's voice broke through the conversation.

 

A huge smile broke on Kagome's smile as she jumped up and gave him a hug. Maru hated to say it, but he was happy that he was back also. One more afternoon of listening to those lords and someone was going to lose their head.

 

“Did you find her?” Kagome asked as Sesshomaru went to sit behind his desk.

 

“Yes, but she is not acting like her normal self. She was …..crying when I found her. I am also not sure how Taro will take the news that she will not leave without Kanna.” Sesshomaru sighed and rubbed his temples as Kagome came up behind him and rubbed his shoulders.

 

“How have things been here?” Sesshomaru asked. He could almost guess with the looks that had been on their faces when he had walked in.

 

“Princess Ayame showed up and is threatening to start a war between the inus and wolves. Princess Nami swears that I am trying to control every demon in Japan and oh yes last night the northern lord got drunk and stripped at dinner.” Maru said leaning against the wall.

 

“So it is a typical get together. I will handle it after this is taken care of.” Sesshomaru said pulling Kagome into his lap.

 

“You should have Koga released and I have decided something. I want to battle the southern princess.” Kagome said.

 

“What?” Maru and Sesshomaru chimed together loudly.

 

“I want to fight her. I wont have them thinking that I am Afraid of them, because I am not.” Kagome said putting her hands on her hips.

 

“You are not just his mate. Your are mine as well and I will not allow you to do this.” Maru voiced sternly. “They will give her the respect she deserves if she does battle.” Sesshomaru said trying to reason with the other inu.

 

Maru looked away from Kagome and walked out of the room. Kagome exhaled sadly and hoped that he would show. She always felt better when he was at her side. She knew that Sesshomaru would be proud and respect her more for this. She just wondered if Maru would feel the same.

 

“I will go and inform the others of your decision.” Sesshomaru said darting out of the room leaving Kagome to stand by herself.

 

A shake of her head as her eyes caught the sight of Kagura now standing in the doorway. Kagome called her in to sit and talk.

 

“So Kagura how is your new found freedom treating you.” Kagome smiled putting her chin on her hand.

 

“Are you really going to battle the southern princess?” Kagura asked amused.

 

“Wow that was fast. Who did you hear that from?” Kagome asked

 

“I was passing and heard. Some old habits are hard to break. You know that you don't have to. I mean Taro and I have already spoken. He had even informed me that Kanna can come.” She smiled

 

“Yes, well this is for myself. I am however happy that the two of you could find a place for yourselves. With the southern lord looking after you two the wolves will have to back off. They can't go against the west and the south that would be suicide.” Kagome grimaced as she thought of how irrational Koga was.

 

“Yes we will have to see. I think that the wolf is being released as we speak.” Kagura said running her fingers through her unbound hair.

 

Elsewhere in the palace Sesshomaru had gathered the lords, their mates and their daughters. A small smile crossed his lips and the lords cringed. They knew that look and he was about to tell them something disturbing.

 

“Kagome has decided that she wishes to battle Nami.” Sesshomaru said as the cries of outrage rang in his ears.

 

“Sesshomaru, we had a deal!” Taro yelled

 

“I accept!” Nami yelled rising from her seat. “No you don't!” Taro shouted.

 

“She has accepted. They meet tomorrow in the training field behind the palace.” Sesshomaru said calmly turning to leave the lords. As he turned he saw Maru giving him a death glare. Sesshomaru had a feeling another battle was going to happen.
