Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 20:

Too the Well

 

 

Kagome woke up with a yawn. She looked to her side to see Rin latched around her waist, still asleep which was a surprise because Rin was always away she herself got up. Not wanting to wake Rin up Kagome laid back down. She smiled as Rin curled into her more.

 

A little while later Kagome felt Rin shift. Looking down at Rin she smiled to see Rin looking back up at her. “Good morning Rin” Kagome greeted.

 

“Morning Kagome” Rin smiled and sat up. “Wanna go out and play with me?”

 

“You just got up Rin” Kagome said laughing “How about we go bathe then eat something, after that we can go play. Ok?”

 

“Ok, let's hurry then, I want to go pick flowers” Rin jumped off the bed and ran over to the bags digging out her clothes. Kagome followed suit laughing.

Sesshoumaru walked down the hall planning on getting some more sleep. He hated waking up early, especially going to meetings. They were always so boring, nothing but people arguing over unimportant things. Making sure that no one was around he let out a yawn.

 

He was almost in the room, door open and his foot inside when the door next to him opened. Looking at the door he watched as Kagome and Rin came out both giggling. Rin grabbed Kagome's hand after closing the door and ran down the hall. With an eyebrow raised he watched the two run down the hall laughing. Sighing and shaking his head he walked into his room and closed the door. Not even bothering to take off his shoes he laid down on the bed and went to sleep.

 

Nothing could bother him while he's sleeping, he didn't have to worry or stress over things, especially the fact that Lord Gram has decided to show up. Sesshoumaru didn't trust him, didn't like or trust him. Something was up and he knew. Gram has never usually asked so many questions at a meeting like he did today. He knew Gram was planning something and he was going to find out, no matter what it took.

 

Sesshoumaru yawned and rolled over, only able to get a few hours of sleep. He ran everything from the meeting over in his head a few times before focusing on Gram. Considering what happened at his castle with Kagome he would have to make sure that Dante stayed with her. That's when it hit him. Kagome and Rin, running down the hall without Dante. Not good. Not good at all. He quickly stood and walked out of his room and over to Dante's.

 

He knocked once and walked in, not waiting for an answer. Dante was still asleep and his room smelled of sake. Rolling his eyes Sesshoumaru pulled the pillow out from underneath Dante and hitting him in the gut with it.

 

Dante jumped up quickly “Wha?”

 

“Go find Kagome and Rin, there probably in the garden” Sesshoumaru ordered. “And I thought I told you that drinking this much is not allowed while you are working.”

 

Dante sat up and got out of bed “Alright, and forgive me for getting carried away with the sake last night” he bowed.

 

“Forgiven, now go. I want you to watch both Rin and Kagome. Lord Gram is showed up this morning” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Right then, I'll once I change” he looked down at the same clothes he word the other day.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded and walked out leaving Dante to change. Since he no longer wanted to sleep he decided to go to Von's library and go through a few of his books.

 

_____-------_______-----

 

Von knocked on the library door and received no answer. After a few more knocks and getting no answer he walked in. Books were laid out and open to certain pages. Sesshoumaru was currently sitting at a desk reading one of the many books. He leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms.

 

“You missed dinner again” Von called out.

 

Sesshoumaru gave a small nod signaling that he herd and continued reading his book.

 

“It's been three days now, the meetings are over and you lock yourself in here and read these books” Von said as he walked over to the desk “Rin wants to go home and Kagome has been wanting to ask you about going to see her family” he paused “But she can't since you refuse to come out.”

 

“I believe I found something” Sesshoumaru said looking up at Von.

 

“About Kagome?” Von asked

 

“Hai” Sesshoumaru nodded “The book states that every couple hundred years a human is born with the blood of an ancient youkai race.”

 

“Really?” Von pulled up a chair and sat down.

 

“It also states that under normal circumstances the human will be unable to tap into that power, it will stay dormant” Sesshoumaru continued.

 

“So they would have no idea that they have this power” Von thought out loud.

 

“Exactly” Sesshoumaru looked back at the book. “Some have been able to tap into this power without knowing, very few are able to control it.”

 

“So” Von leaned forward in his chair “You think Kagome could be the human born of the youkai blood, a descendant, more or less.”

 

“Hai” Sesshoumaru answered “There is a possibility that she could be.”

 

“Does it say what race this ancient bloodline is?” Von questioned.

 

“No” Sesshoumaru answered closing the book.

 

“I'll keep looking but you should take Kagome back, she's been wanting to see her family.”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded and stood “Where is she now?”

 

“I believe she's in the gardens” Von said as he pulled the book over to him.

 

Giving another nod Sesshoumaru left, heading to the gardens.

 

_______________---------_____------

 

 

Kagome and Rin were both sitting on Ah-Un while Dante held the dragon's reins, waiting for Sesshoumaru.

 

“He's taking forever” Kagome whined.

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru will be here soon, he and Lord Von are talking” Dante said.

 

“Well I had enough time to say goodbye to Tiara, which I did” Kagome continued to whine.

 

“Just be patient” Dante said “He will be out soon.”

 

“But I don't want to be patient” Kagome whined again “I get to see my family today.”

 

Dante chuckled and shook his head. All morning she had been in a rush to get out and very impatient as well.

 

After a few more minutes of Kagome whining and Dante trying to answer her questions Sesshoumaru finally came. When Sesshoumaru got there Dante got on Ah-Un and they left.

 

“I can't wait to see Sota” Kagome exclaimed.

 

“Who's Sota?” Rin asked.

 

“My little brother” Kagome smiled. “It's been a long time since I've seen him, my mom too.”

 

Rin smiled “How old is your brother?”

 

“He's ten” Kagome answered. (A/N: I'm not really sure how old Sota is so I made him ten)

 

“Speaking of your home” Sesshoumaru spoke up “Is anyone allowed to pass through the well?”

 

“So far I only think that I'm allowed to pass through” Kagome answered

 

“Then I will wait for you on this side” Sesshoumaru said “Dante will take Rin back to the castle.”

 

“Alright, how much longer?” she asked

 

“Not too long” he answered “About an hour.”

 

Kagome smiled. It's been a long time since she's seen her family. Though something worried her now that she thought about it. Evann… how did Evann react when they came home and found her gone, what did they do? What did Evan do? Kagome became lost in her thoughts and didn't even realize that they had landed.

 

She was startled when Rin turned around and hugged her. “Bye Kagome.”

 

Kagome shook her head and returned the hug “Bye Rin, see you when I get back.”

 

After a short goodbye Dante and Rin left with Ah-Un and Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru. “I'll only be a few hours, I just want to see how there doing.”

 

“I'll wait here” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Alright” Kagome walked over to the well and sat on the ledge, swinging her legs over. She smiled and waved to Sesshoumaru then jumped in.

 

Sesshoumaru moved to the lip of the well and peered down the well. He sniffed lightly and took in the scent of magic. Deciding that he might as well catch up on some rest he sat down and closed his eyes. In a few hours she would be back.
