Chapter 4: The Plot
Thickens
Kagome slightly shook both
her pups to try and rouse them from their shock induced coma. She
sighed as Sesshoumaru batted away her hand as he snuggled deeper
into his tail. So she moved to a different tactic.
"Sesshoumaru, c'mon wake up." Kagome said into her eldests ear.
"No mama I don't wanna go to lessons!" Sesshoumaru moaned out batting her away. Kagome sighed looking to Toga for some assistance. He smiled wickedly and leant over his son and began to tickle him mercilessly, this caused Sesshoumaru to shoot up from his position on the ground and growl deeply. Until he realised who he had growled at and it steadily became a whimper to silence as he looked upon his father who started laughing uncontrollably.
"Ah my boy, you're still so easily silenced, by my mere presence." Toga spoke through his laughter.
"It is merely respectful not to growl at ones parent, unless there is a viable reason for it. I was merely respecting your station nothing more." Sesshoumaru groused turning to Kagura and narrowing his eyes at her tinkling laughter at the spectacle father and son made.
"Kagura if you want to become my mate any time soon I suggest you side with me in these types of situations." Sesshoumaru growled lightly sounding like a child moaning at not getting his own way.
"I'm sorry Sesshoumaru, but this situation is rather funny. I simply can't help myself." Kagura answered giggling some more.
"Sesshoumaru...WHEN where you going to tell me you were taking a mate?" Kagome asked glaring at her pup.
"Calm down mother...it has just been decided in the last twenty minutes. And I was coming to tell you all, but got side tracked by a certain someone." As he said the last part he looked over at his father pointedly.
"What? Aren't you happy to see me son...I mean I've only been dead for two hundred and fifty years!" Toga said feigning hurt causing Kagome to sigh.
"Stop the melodramatics father...of course I'm happy to see you, it's just a surprise because as you said, you've been dead for two hundred and fifty years." Sesshoumaru said his eye brow twitching slightly.
"This is all very nice...but someone kindly tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Inuyasha yelled having just woke up again.
"Ah there you are mine youngest. Simply put...Midoriko brought me back. However I have to prove myself deserving of the life she has returned to me, by helping you all in killing Naraku. If I fail she will take the life back and I will die again. She hates the stipulations however she has to listen to her superiors." Toga explained nonchalantly.
"How can you be so calm about that?" Kagome snapped.
"Because I know I will not fail my love. That's why." Toga answered.
"But...Toga." Kagome began but Toga cut her off.
"Stop worrying Kagome, I am going to succeed. A little faith will be very nice if you do not mind." Toga growled a little.
"You're right I'm sorry it's just that, I have only got you back and I don't want to lose you again." Kagome answered.
"I know, and you will not so don't worry." Toga responded pulling her into a hug and nuzzling her neck affectionately.
"I appreciate the fact that you two haven't seen each other in a while...but please get a room before I actually be sick." Inuyasha said looking away from the affectionate display.
He would act like it annoyed him...but that was all it was, an act. He was happy, because this was the kind of thing families dealt with, he remembered what his friends at the palace used to tell him, about their parents acting all lovey, and how embarrassing it was. But he had never been able to tell them the same stories. He was just glad he had both his parents back for the time being, he trusted his father when he said he'd succeed in his mission, and keep the life that had been gifted to him. He had to trust his father, because he couldn't bear to lose him again, although he'd never admit it; he supposed he was a lot like Sesshoumaru in that respect.
"Just you wait until you take a mate son, and we say that to you, you'll just hate it." Toga said his trickster eyes twinkling mischievously.
"Feh whatever you say pops." Inuyasha answered looking away from his father, but kept an eye on him with his peripheral vision. He recognised that twinkle; it only came into his dads eyes when he was up to something. He only recognised it, because the same look graced Sesshoumaru's eyes when he was up to something. But for now he'd ignore it and just enjoy the presence of his family.
...
She ran, and ran pushing her body’s limits again and again; she had to get away now! She had to get to Edo and warn them all of what she had overheard. She looked behind her quickly and then leaped to the tree tops, dashing along them her grace impossible to match. As she ran, her pursuer was getting ever closer, how he was managing to catch up to her, she couldn't tell. She looked back in front of her and noticed that Edo was only a few feet from her, so she pushed faster jumping from branch to branch, her feet barely hitting one before taking off again and landing suddenly she took one powerful lunge, and cleared the last of the tree tops landing on the ground, her feet hitting quietly, and kept running in a whisper. She was right at the outskirts of Inu Village, as Edo was now affectionately known, she was going to make it, and with a burst of speed she made it into the village, the Inu’s she was looking for, meeting her as she entered, silently thanked the Kami’s as she skidded to a stop in front of them looking frantic, or she assumed.
...
As everyone was talking amongst themselves, enjoying some down time, Sesshoumaru's senses started to tingle. Something was heading this way and fast! The being's aura felt frantic, worried and scared, so much so that he felt dizzied by the sensory overload. He looked up and noticed that both his father and brother had also felt the same presence, as had Kagome. All four jumped up and started heading toward the door, however Toga had placed his arm against Kagome's chest and shook his head at her. It was clear that he wanted her in one place and not outside with the unknown entity.
She, surprisingly enough, submitted to his want without question. Once she had sat back down, the three Inu's left the hut and darted to the area that the entity was coming from, once there they readied themselves to draw their weaponry if it was necessary. They soon found that it wasn't as Inuyasha recognised the scent immediately once the demon was closer to him. It was only when the female skidded to a stop that Sesshoumaru and Toga where able to get a good look at the hanyou.
"Shiori! What on earth are you doing here? Where’s the fire?" Inuyasha asked starting to get a bit worried, as he took in the young females frantic look.
"Inuyasha! Please I have very important news that concerns you and your family! However I'm being chased, by someone who wishes to silence me. I tried killing him myself, but I was unable, he was too strong, and I weakened quickly." Shiori tumbled out the words in a rush, that the Inu’s had just managed to catch everything she had said. Inuyasha nodded and took a hold of Shiori's arm pulling her behind him. Once she was securely at his back, he drew his sword, Sesshoumaru and Toga following suit. They were only sensing the other presence now, and it was practically right on top of them! Within a couple of seconds a powerful male cleared the tree top, and landed directly in front of them, a snarl upon his lips. He was serpentine in looks. His skin had a greenish hue to it that made him look ill. This wasn't helped by the fact that his hair was a puce green colour to his shoulders. His eyes where slanted and yellow, with a slit pupil in the middle. He was of average height and build, however his power was quite immense, but not what you would call a problematic issue.
"Name yourself you damnable snake." Toga growled out, he hated snake youkai, always had. There wasn't an honourable bone in their bodies, nor were they noble. They were sly and cunning and always had a chaos causing plan in their heads. It sickened him, if there were any youkai that could be called, 'the scourge of the earth' it was the snakes without fail. Even rats where higher ranked in his mind than the snakes, though not by much.
"Ah...the great dog General, such a pleasure to meet you and your fine sons. My name is Katashi and I believe I shall kill you now!" Then just like that Katashi shot forward to attack his opponent.
However Toga was faster, and moved out of the way of the oncoming danger. As Toga moved out of the way, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha impaled the snake through with their swords, then with a vicious horizontal slice in opposite directions, cut the snake in half, jumping back to avoid the arterial spray of the Hebi's life blood. Toga then walked to the corpse and using the little purification energy he had, that Kagome had, unknowingly passed to him with their mating, turned the corpse into dust. He didn't want the village children seeing that type of carnage.
"I believe it's time to hear this young ladies story. I recognised that snake at the last minute he is one of Mishuki's snake allies! I guarantee that he was sent to silence Shiori because she overheard Mishuki's plan." Toga mused then turning to Shiori "Would I be right young one?"
"Yes M'Lord you would be. But please may I rest before I tell my news I am rather weak at the moment."
"Of course my dear, come with us. We will get you something to eat and drink, and then we will hear what you know." Toga responded smiling softly at the young hanyou woman.
"Sesshoumaru, c'mon wake up." Kagome said into her eldests ear.
"No mama I don't wanna go to lessons!" Sesshoumaru moaned out batting her away. Kagome sighed looking to Toga for some assistance.
