Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 17:

Run in

 

 

“So the Western Lord has developed feelings for the miko” a figure clad in a baboons pelt chuckled.

 

“Yes Naraku, he protects her” a man said sitting across from Naraku.

 

“Is he attending the ball that the Southern Lord is hosting?” Naraku questioned.

 

“Yes and he is bringing the miko with him” the man answered.

 

“Are you not attending?” Naraku continued.

 

The man stood up “I will be leaving in a moment. I will find out all I can at the war meeting” the man bowed and left.

 

Naraku chuckled “This will work right into my plans. I will absorb the Western Lords body and I will be unstoppable.”

 

@@@%%%

 

It was about mid afternoon and Sesshoumaru, Kagome, and Dante were still flying towards the Southern Lands.

 

Sesshoumaru sniffed the air and growled. Dante herd and sniffed the air as well, letting out a growl. Kagome herd Dante and looked back at him with a questioning look.

 

“You might want to put some more of your perfume on Kagome” Sesshoumaru stated.

 

“Kagome grabbed the bottle out of the bag and put some on. “What's wrong?” she asked when she herd Sesshoumaru growl. “Wait, I sense jewel shards!” she brought her hands up to her neck “Oh Kami-sama, I forgot the jewel. I left it in my bag when I ran away from Inuyasha” as soon as she finished his name a blur of red past by her and directly at Sesshoumaru.

 

Sesshoumaru dodged it easily. He looked over at Dante and pointed to the forest floor with his finger “Keep an eye on Kagome” he said and they descended.

 

Dante nodded and slid closer to Kagome and grabbed Ah-Un's reins. He could hear Kagome breathing hard “Relax Kagome” he placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her to lean against his chest incase she passed out.

 

“Why does he have to be here?” Kagome asked as she swayed a bit.

 

Dante placed an arm around her waist to hold her steady “It's ok” he whispered.

 

“Damn Kagome, we've been looking every where for you” Inuyasha yelled out as they landed “Where the hell have you been?”

 

Kagome shook involuntary and turned her head opposite of Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru turned away from Kagome and faced Inuyasha “It seems she does not want to talk to you little brother”

 

“I wasn't talking to you Sesshoumaru!” Inuyasha walked closer to Sesshoumaru “Come on Kagome, let's go.”

 

Dante slid off of Ah-Un and stood in front of Kagome. He turned around when he caught the scent of salt. Kagome was crying again and it was because of the hanyou. “It's ok” Dante whispered and rubbed her shoulders.

 

“Come on, we need you to find the jewel shards” Inuyasha called out.

 

That was it; Kagome had enough of being nothing but a shard detector. Kagome glared at Inuyasha. She slid of the large dragon with help from Dante. “I'm tired of it Inuyasha!” Kagome hollered. She walked close to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. Her miko aura flared around her giving off a light purple glow. “I am not your shard detector!” she stood there yelling at Inuyasha. As she stood there her hair became longer and white strikes highlighted her hair. Inuyasha and the others stared at her in shock. “If you want the jewel shards so bad why then why don't you go get your precious Kikyou!” her nail grew longer becoming claws and a tear drop appeared in the middle of her forehead. “I'm staying with Sesshoumaru now so find your own jewel shard…I quit!” Just as soon as she changed it all went back to normal. No more claws as nails, her hair was back to normal with no white highlights, and the marking on her head vanished when her aura disappeared. Kagome spun around ignoring Inuyasha as he stared wide eyed at Kagome's back.

 

Dante helped Kagome on top of An-Un and got on himself. Sesshoumaru smirked at Inuyasha. “See you around, little brother” with that said they took to the sky leaving Inuyasha speechless.

 

Kagome looked down at Inuyasha as they left. `Why weren't Sango and Miroku with him?' Kagome shook all thought out of her head and looked ahead.

 

`That was a youkai's aura I sensed. She's human, how could she have an aura of a youkai? And she didn't even realize that she had changed…I thing I need to talk to Von and Irvine' Sesshoumaru thought as he flew next to Kagome.

 

Dante was left to sit behind Kagome, deep in he own thoughts with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

 

@@@%%%

 

“How much further Sesshoumaru?” Kagome asked while raising her arms above her head and stretching. The sleeves of her kimono sled down her arms and pooled around her shoulders.

 

“A few more minutes, there castle is just beyond that hill” Sesshoumaru pointed to a large hill in front of them. Kagome smiled when she saw the top of the castle peek above the hill.

 

When they arrived the sun was just beginning to set. Von and Tiara were standing out by the front gates awaiting their arrival. Servants came and took there baggage to deliver them to there proper rooms. Ah-Un was taken to the stables by other servants.

 

“Congratulations” Von said “You are the first ones here” Von walked up to Sesshoumaru and shook his hand. “Why did you bring a body guard?” he asked looking over at Dante.

 

“He's here for Kagome” Sesshoumaru stated.

 

“Got it” Von nodded in understanding “Tiara, would you mind helping Kagome?”

 

“I was just about to offer” Tiara smiled.

 

Just then the doors to the castle swung open and a little girl ran out at full speed and her arms held out wide. When she made it to the others the child latched herself around Sesshoumaru's leg in a death grip.

 

Sesshoumaru looked down at the newly formed growth on his leg with a raised eyebrow. “Hello to you too Rin” he said.

 

“Hello Lord Sesshoumaru” Rin smiled.

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru?” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“Yeah, when ever your at a ball every one must call you Lord Sesshoumaru” Rin explained.

 

Sesshoumaru looked up at Von “She's been giving Tiara and I the same title all morning” Von mentioned.

 

Rin looked at Kagome and smiled. She let go of Sesshoumaru and ran over to Kagome. “Hello Kagome, I missed you.”

 

“I missed you too” Kagome said and hugged the small child.

 

“Do you want to hear about all the fun things I did with Lord Von and Lady Tiara?” Rin asked.

 

“Of course, you can tell me all about it while I go with Tiara” Kagome took Rin by her hand and followed Tiara to the castle with Dante in tow.

 

Von smiled at Sesshoumaru “Nice kimono you had made for Kagome”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded.

 

“Seems to me like your trying to keep certain people away” Von continued “Mainly the males” he smirked at the last part.

 

Again Sesshoumaru said nothing, only nodded.

 

“You're still a pup” Von laughed and patted Sesshoumaru on the back as they started towards the castle.

 

“To you maybe” Sesshoumaru countered in a dry voice causing Von to laugh harder.

 

“I think we need to have a talk later on” Von said as he closed the door to the castle.
