InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Snow White and the Seven 'Dwarfs'...Sort of ❯ They're Back ( Chapter 7 )

AN: Hey, I'm having trouble doing a project for school so I'm going to write a chapter while I wait for some people to get on AOL and answer some stuff for me. I have a little writers block so I don't know how this chapters going to look. So here are the votes so far for the Kouga pairing.

Ayame- 3

Kagura- 0

 

Since no one's reviewed yet that's all I have. At least no had reviewed when I checked. Then again it could be to early for anyone to review and I'm just getting chapters out to fast. Oh yeah, don't forget I won't be writing for about a month. Sorry, I don't like it either. Don't worry, I didn't leave this fic or anything, I just can't get to a computer. Well, here's the new chapter, hope you like it, and don't forget to review on your way out.

 

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, Sango, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, Sesshourmaru, Kagura, Kanna, Mayu, Rin, Kouga, Ayame, or any king and queens mentioned. (Loud cries) I don't own Kikyo or Naraku either. Thank God. (Cheering)

 

`' - That's when Inuyasha's little voice in his head talks or when someone thinks.

“Kagome!”

`Wow, even I didn't know the Bitches voice carried that far up.'

I stuck my head out of a window, after putting another candle on its stand and shouted down to Kikyo who was standing below,

“You really are full of hot air if I can hear you from here! What do you want?”

“First, you're not getting lunch tomorrow you little moron for insulting me again, and the guests will be here any minute, so stay out of the way!”

I rolled my eyes; even through I knew she couldn't see it.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, you already told me all this Kikyo. Get a life.”

I shut the window closed before she could say anything else and finished replacing the candles on the table next to me. They were my last ones so after I was done I could go down to the kitchens and get some ice for my face. Either the sex with the red-eyed freak had been getting harder, or she was working out and getting some muscle because that last hit hard more than usual. I really can't see her working out so the sex was probably getting rougher and she got stronger from that. I paused at a mirror on my way down to the kitchen. The right side of my face had a colorful bruise decorating it, and it was going to get really swollen if I didn't get something cold on it soon. I pressed cold candleholders against it when I was replacing the candles, but it didn't do much. I started walking again and about on the third floor or so, I looked out a window as I was passing by and almost tripped at what I saw. Kikyo was standing in the courtyard with almost all of her servants behind her, and she was greeting the guests to the castle.

Sesshourmaru, Miroku, and Inuyasha were standing there.

`Oh my Kami, now the morons come back? How many years has it been since they were last here? Hey maybe they can help me! Maybe we can work some can of deal or treaty out, maybe even, wait. Damn it this is why Kikyo didn't want me to go near them! That fucking bitch, I'm so close to freedom, and she already figured out a way to stop it!'

I felt tears start at my eyes, but I didn't let them fall.

`Kikyo could take away my throne, my title, and my chance to get away but she was not going to break my soul! I am not going to cry! There has to be a way to get around Kikyo! But how? Kikyo has eyes and ears all over the castle, there's no way I can get by her.'

I noticed they were talking and I flew down the stairs to the second floor. I stopped at a window and crouched low, afraid they would see me. I hear their voices come up,

“-And I must thank you Queen Kikyo for letting us stay in your castle. We were getting tired from traveling on the road so much and this is a welcome break from it.” I studied Lord Sesshourmaru. He hadn't changed much through the years. He was still wearing the kimono he had on last we had met but he didn't have amour on this time and he had two swords instead of one.

“Of course, King Sesshourmaru, we are all very happy to have you here. Tell me how does the search for a wife going?”

I brought my attention to Kikyo and rolled my eyes.

“Kami can she even look at a man without wanting to jump his bones?'

She wasn't trying at all to hide the fact that she wanted Sesshourmaru. I just realized then that Naraku wasn't anywhere around.

`Maybe I got lucky and she gave him a heart attack after some really hard sex? Nah, Kami hasn't been that nice to be lately.'

I saw Inuyasha nudge Miroku with his elbow. Miroku was really the only one who had changed. He was wearing monk's robes, carried a staff, and had a glove or something over his right hand.

`Guess he got that wind tunnel thing he was talking about so long ago.'

He cleared his throat,

“Queen Kikyo, where is Princess Kagome? We haven't seen her in four years and would like some time to catch up with her.”

She blinked, off guard with the question.

“Well she… left us some time ago.”

Inuyasha growled at her,

“Where'd she go-“

Miroku hit his head with his staff.

“What he means to say is, where as she gone?”

She cleared her throat,

“I moved her to a boarding school far away. I thought it would be better for her to go away from home for awhile.”

Inuyasha looked like he was going to snarl again but Miroku cut him off again.

“Please my queen, Inuyasha hasn't gotten much sleep lately, might we be excused to go to our rooms?”

Sesshourmaru looked at his brother sharply and nodded to Kikyo.

“I shall go with them.”

Kikyo looked disappointed, but she gestured to a servant,

“Please feel free to do so, the servant here with take you to your rooms.”

“Sesshourmaru shook his head,

“Thank you but that will not be needed, I would like to look around the castle will my brother and his friend. Just bring our luggage up to our rooms and leave the doors open so we know where to go when we're done.”

“If you wish my lord I hope you enjoy your stay here. You can ask any servant to get whatever you wish for during your time here.”

Lord Sesshourmaru bowed slightly and walked away with his brother and Miroku following them. I stood up to get a better look at Inuyasha. He had grown up into one of the handsomest man I had ever seen, with his long sliver hair, his ears and his golden eyes. He still wore his fire-rat kimono, but even if it wasn't clothes fitting his station, it made him look like a dog god. I sighed, resting my head on my palm as I watched him walk away.

`Oh Inuyasha…'

His head started to turn and I ducked, hoping he hadn't seen my as I banged my head against the wall at my stupidity.

`Stupid moron! If he sees you it's all over, Kikyo will kill you without losing any sleep over it!'

“Is something wrong Inuyasha?” Sesshourmaru asked.

There was a pause, and a drawn out sigh

“No nothing.”

I closed my eyes in relief. At least Kami had been kind enough to not let Inuyasha see me. I hit the bruise on my face against the wall and winced at the pain and remembered what I was doing before I saw Inuyasha.

`I better get this bruise taken care of before it gets any worse.'

I got up and started to walk towards the kitchen again. Kikyo's servants hadn't gotten back in yet because she was talking to them, so if I hurry, I might be able to sneak an apple and not get caught. I walked a little faster at the thought of food. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the voices getting closer to me until we were only a hallway away.

“- Damn it that bitch was lying! I could smell it! She didn't send Kagome away! What happened to her? Stupid wench.”

“Who Kikyo or Kagome?” Miroku asked

My eyes widen,

`Oh shit! If I don't do something fast they're going to find me!'

The voices got closer and I looked around franticly to see where I could go.

`Damn it, damn it, damn it!'

I started to run as fast as I could back to where I had come from.

“I don't know, both of them? But why did Kikyo lie? You smelled it didn't you Sess?”

Inuyasha's voice and footsteps got closer as I ran faster.

“Yes, of course I did, you're not the only dog demon here.”

`Yes that's it! Lose them in the underground springs, the water will cover up my scent!'

I ran into a chapel that was nearby.

`Ok, now where the hell is that stone?'

“Hey I know that scent! Kami it smells familiar, come on, we have to follow it and see who it leads to!”

“For once, Inuyasha you are right.”

“Uh, guys, I'm not a dog demon, I have no idea what you're talking about.” Miroku said as I hurried to find the stone/button that would open a secret door.

“Inuyasha and I are dog demons, we have great sense of smell and never forget an important scent. The person who has this scent is important, but it's been so long since we've smelled it and the scent as changed since we have last smelled it. The only way to find out who wears the scent is to find the person.”

The voices got closer but I finally found the rock, pressed it and watched as the door swung open, and rushed in and closed it as fast as I could.

“The scents coming from in here!”

I heard Inuyasha's voice say as they came into the chapel. I grabbed a torch, hit it against the wall to light it, and started to run down the uneven path.

“But there's no one in here.”

“Yeah but I hear someone running away from, this wall! Iron rea-!”

“Inuyasha shut up, you can't claw the wall up, and someone will notice if there's a hole in it. I smell the person's scent all over these stones, come help me look for the button to open the wall.”

I ran faster, not caring if I tripped as the voices started to fade away. Just as I was at the springs I heard the door creak open from above and feet pounding down. I rushed into the basement, which is an underground hot springs, broke a lot of oils and perfumes to confuse my scent with and slipped into the hot springs taking my torch with me. It wouldn't be able to light again, but I couldn't leave it out in the open. The springs are huge, instead of a bunch of little ponds, it was like a huge lake, so I swum under the water, making as little ripples as possible. I went to the darkest part of the springs I could, and stuck my nose and eyes out of the water and waited. The springs aren't really well lighted, when it was designed, the designers made the lights dim, and created dark places for lovers to hang out in. They wanted something romantic and enjoyable so it was easy to find a spot at the very far end of the lake that was almost pitch dark. I heard them come in, with Miroku trying to catch his breath.

“Kami help me, we didn't have to run so fast! I almost broke my neck twice!”

“We caught you didn't we?” Sesshourmaru asked absentmindedly.

“Yeah, and why could we use our demon speed brother dearest?”

I was glad my mouth was under water so they couldn't hear my chuckle.

“Because, the way down here was uneven and twisted. I didn't want you to run into any walls because you where going to fast for your other senses to catch up with you.”

Inuyasha grumbled, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. The only reason I could hear them at all was because the walls were echoing their responses back to me. He was probably cursing anyway.

“So where is this scent you keep talking about?”

“The smart wench masked it, these damned oils and perfumes are to thick to smell anything but roses and lavender. The waters masking her scent to. Come, we're not going to find her right now. But if you're listening,” his voice got louder as if he knew I was here, “we just want to talk to you, and even if you don't come to us of your own will, we'll find you anyway. There's no way you can win against two demons and a monk.”

I rolled my eyes, `Please, stupid arrogant ape. We'll see if you can get me.'

“What we're just going to leave her here?” Inuyasha's voice rang out outraged.

“Calm yourself Inuyasha, there must be a reason she doesn't want to show herself to us yet. We can wait. And if we wait to long we'll go after her again. And she won't escape next time. Come, don't make me knock you out to get you out of here.”

Their voices started to get fainter

“So this person is a woman?”

“Yes”

“So, can you tell by scent how this person looks?”

“Monk, watch it.”

“It was just a question Inuyasha.”

“A question that will get you pounded over by!”

They finally left and I took a breath and went down.

`There should be a hidden hallway somewhere, here it is.'

I went into a hole in the side of the lake and swam up until I got out of the water. I pulled myself up and on the deck that was attached to the hallway next to it. I started to squeeze the water out of my hair as I walked down the hallway. I not an idiot, if I went back the way I came then they would probably be waiting for me close by. This way is closer to the kitchen anyway. I walked to the end of the hallway, pressed the rock sticking out of the wall and watched as the wall swung out and open. I stepped out and walked into the kitchen. Kikyo's servants weren't around so I was safe to talk to Mayu.

“Hey Mayu.”

I said casually and sit back on the counter where I had been that morning.

“Toss me a apple will ya?”

She looked at me shocked. Wordlessly she tossed me an apple from a plate sitting next to her.

I nodded
”Thanks Mayu.”

Then she exploded,

“Kagome! What have you gotten into now! And why are you all wet? You'll catch a cold and you know Kikyo will make you work during one of those to!”

“I haven't done anything Mayu, I was cleaning around the springs and I slipped in. That's all.”

“Uh huh.” She said not believing me. She noticed again how I was eating.

“Kagome! Did Kikyo take away lunch to now?” I shrugged.

“What did you do now?”

“I said she was full of hot air. I don't know why she took it so seriously. She should be glad there's someone telling her the truth about herself.”

“Kagome.” She sighed, “Here, take some more fruit and bread. You'll need it later.”

She wrapped some apples, peaches, bananas, and some bread in a napkin and handed it to me. I got of the counter and hugged her.

“Thanks Mayu, I'll see you later ok? Take care of yourself until then.” I kissed her forehead and stopped by the icebox.

“Is it alright to take some ice?”

She gasped, finally seeing my face. I had tried to keep my cheek hidden from her but she saw it anyway.

“You better take some ice hon. Go on take a rag and take as much you need.”

I smiled at her gratefully and did as she asked. I waved to her and ran to Kagura's room, keeping me eyes open for any of the guys. When I got there I sat down on her window seat and started to eat, keeping the ice on my face with one hand, as I waited for Kagura to show up. I heard the door open and watched as Kagura walked in. Her red eyes widened at the sight of me and after drying me off quick with her wind power she demanded,

“I want to know what happened. NOW!”

**** Inuyasha's room***

 

I paced back and forth across my room, not paying any attention to Sesshourmaru or Miroku as they sat in the chairs watching me. Finally Sess sighed

“Inuyasha would you sit down? It's pointless to walk around the room when we could be coming up with a way to find the girl.”

I sat down with a scowl and crossed my arms.

“Good, now monk are you strong enough to create a barrier?”

“A barrier of any kind is child's play. What kind of barrier to you want?”

“Can you make a barrier where if she walks into it triggers a alarm of some sort to let us know she is near by? Maybe even one that can keep her contained?”

“Of course I can. But I don't know about making a barrier that will keep her contained, wouldn't someone notice if she was pounding on an invisible wall and screaming for help?”

“Yes I suppose, just make a barrier that will alert us to her when she enters an area. Now Inuyasha,” Sess turned towards me, “I want you to walk around as many places as you can in the castle, trying to catch her scent. If you find it, find her. Got it?”

I grinned.

“Gladly. So what do you do?”

“I'm doing the same thing you're doing, and trying to figure out what Kikyo is trying to hide.”

I nodded.

`Ok that's a good plan. I wonder who she is.'

`Who cares? Where's Kagome?'

`I don't know, Kikyo said she sent her away but I think she lied'

`Duh. Of course she lied moron. Find Kagome!'

`I don't even know where to look and, wait I'm talking to myself again!'

`I'm not yourself ok? I'm the little voice who tells you what to do and I'm telling you to find Kagome!'

“WILL YOU SHUT UP!?”

Miroku and Sess stopped talking and looked at me.

“Heh he, another weird dream. I just can't stop having them can I?”

Sess looked at me, worry showing in his eyes.

“Were you even asleep Yash?”

I forced a nervous laugh

“Well, um, no. I can't help it! That girl's scent is all over this room!”

Miroku blinked.

“It is? But the only way anyone could have been in here before us is if, she's a servant!”

Sess sighed

“Thank you Miroku, I was wondering when one of you idiots would figure it out. Inuyasha here's the new plan, I want you to go all over the servant's quarters all right? I want you to find that scent, find her room, and come back and tell us. We'll figure something out from there.”

 

*** Kagura's room****

 

“-So that's what happened.”

Kagura just stared at me, amazed.

“Wow. So Sesshourmaru, Inuyasha, and Miroku finally came back to the castle? It's about time. And since when have you had all those secret passages?”

I ignored her question about the passages and warned her,

“Kagura you are not telling them I'm here got it? If they ask, tell them I'm at boarding school, that's what Kikyo told them. You have to tell them that. Promise me.”

She looked at me, but I didn't back down and she sighed

“Fine, I won't tell them ok? Now, is Sesshourmarus's tail still hanging on his shoulder?”

I laughed

“Yeah, he still has it but I think it got bigger.”

We laughed and just started talking about everything and anything until I had to go back to my room. As I crawled between the mattress and the sheet I thought that maybe the day hadn't gone as bad as it seemed.

AN: Done with another chapter. So do you think I should make Inuyasha find her right away or draw it out? I probably wouldn't listen to you if you tell me to let them find her but idea's and opinions are always welcome. Reviews are always welcomed to, so leave one for me ok? Thanks for reading this chapter and my story and I hope you vote to tell me who Kouga should get stuck with. And if I don't write another chapter I'll see you in about a month. Bye.
