Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 27:

A Warning and a Vow

 

 

Kagome ran down the hall laughing while towing Rin behind her. Von had left the day before and Sesshoumaru sent Jaken with him to find some more information. Kagome continued to run and looked behind her.

 

“Come on Sota! I know your faster then that!” she laughed.

 

“Sota can't catch us!” Rin taunted.

 

Kagome rounded a corner only to bump into Sesshoumaru. She yelped and moved to go around him, bringing Rin with her to again have him in her way.

 

She looked up at him and glared “He's going to catch up with us.”

 

“I hardly believe that is fair, you can run much faster then him” Sesshoumaru said.

 

Kagome was about to retaliate when Rin squealed “He's coming” that's when Sota rounded the corner.

 

Kagome went to run but Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist. She pulled as hard as she could only to be tackled to the floor by Sota.

 

“I got you!” Sota yelled.

 

“No fair, Sesshoumaru cheated!” Kagome called out. “I demand a…” he sentence was cut short by a loud explosion and the castle shaking. Kagome sat up “What the…”

 

“Kagome” Sota said “That sounded like dynamite.”

 

“But how?” Kagome stood up with the help of Sesshoumaru.

 

“Got to your room, take Rin and Sota with you. Don't open the door for anyone other than me” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Alright” Kagome said as she took both of the kid's hands. “Let's go two” she then ran sown the hall as Sesshoumaru took off in the other direction.

 

`It's been a week since the rumors went quiet' Sesshoumaru thought. He continued running as another explosion shook the castle.

 

Getting to the main door he opened it to see a group of demons outside the broken gates. Pulling out the Tokijin he walked forward, so did a man from the other group. He had emerald green eyes and black hair down to his shoulder which was pulled back. One single white strip of hair hung down and he held a pair of double sabers.

 

They stopped so they were only close enough to speak to each other. “After our attack last week I thought you would have more guards” the man called out.

 

“What do you want here?” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“Your lands, what else?” the man grinned. “Lord Naraku is very interested in you and your lands” he sheathed his swords “your are very persistent, not to mention a good fighter.”

 

“Get off my lands” Sesshoumaru growled.

 

The man chuckled and looked at the destroyed wall. “Consider this a warning Lord Sesshoumaru for I, Sano, vow to take what is most precious to you without you even realizing it.”

 

Sesshoumaru growled louder and deeper “Get off my lands.”

 

The man now known as Sano bowed mockingly “For now I will leave” he faded out as well as the demons behind him.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at the wall; the whole half front of it was destroyed. He would have to get it rebuilt now but first, he hade to go check on Kagome and the kids. Sheathing his sword he walked back into the castle to Kagome's room. That was the last time he would let his guard down.

 

Once at her door he knocked “It's Sesshoumaru.” A moment later the door opened and Kagome stood there, a worried look on her face “From what I herd, you and Sota knew what caused my castle to shake.”

 

Kagome opened the door a little wider and stood out of the way “Yea, it was dynamite.”

 

“What does it do?” he asked as he walked into the room.

 

“It's used to blow things up” she answered.

 

“Then that's what destroyed me castle walls” he looked over at Sota and Rin who were sitting on Kagome's bed.

 

“But dynamite doesn't exist in this time… how could some one have it?” Kagome thought out loud “Could some one else be able to get to this era?”

 

“What ever it is I'm making sure it doesn't happen again” Sesshoumaru said “I'm locking the castle down and Erwin is going back to being your body guard” he looked back at Kagome “I want you and the kids to stay in the castle, no going into the gardens.”

 

“Alright” Kagome said “Where is Erwin any ways?”

 

“I sent him on an errand” Sesshoumaru said “He should be back soon” he turned towards the door “I have business to attend to.”

Sano sat at a table with Naraku. Food and different types of alcohol were spread out on the table. The room they sat in was barely lit by a few candles. Kanna and Kagura was no where to be seen.

 

“Everything is going according to plan” Sano said then took a drink from his cup.

 

“Good, let him wait for a few days then attack. It only needs to be long enough to distract him and get the girl” Naraku said “Once we have the girl we can use her to take him down easily.”

 

“What about the children?” Sano asked

 

“Leave them for now. While Sesshoumaru is distracted by trying to find her we can take the kids” Naraku took a sip of his drink “you have done well Sano, I am quiet surprised.”

 

“This is nothing, you saw how easy it was to get Inuyasha and his friends” Sano chuckled “I have everything under control.”

 

“Good, keep it that way” Naraku smirked “In a few days the Western Lord will fall.”

Kagome moped around the castle, the kids in tow. Everything was boring now. Guards were every where and they couldn't even go to the gardens. Sesshoumaru spent all of his time telling guards what to do and preparing them incase of another attack. All of his free time was spent in the dojo training. Of course she couldn't go to the dojo because she had to stay inside and to get to the dojo she and to go outside. She sighed and opened the door to the library and let the kids in. Kagome found another book to read and sat in her usual spot on the pillows. Rin and Sota sat close by and quietly played as Kagome read her book.

Sesshoumaru grumbled as he walked down the halls. With all the guards in the castle they couldn't keep an eye on one girl and two kids. And it was a perfect time for Erwin to be gone. Then he stopped dead in his tracks and resisted the urge to hit himself on the head. The library, she always went to the library when there was nothing left to do. Grumbling to himself again he turned and headed to the library.

 

Opening the door to the library and walking in Sesshoumaru spotted Kagome laying on the pillows asleep. The book she was reading was still open and resting on her side. Sota and Rin were both asleep a few feet away splayed out across the floor, figuring that if there were going to sleep they should at least sleep in there room he walked over to the kids and picked them up. Both kids instantly wrapped their arms around him. Heading out the door Sesshoumaru took the two to their own room then went back to Kagome. When he came back Kagome was still asleep. He walked over to her and closed her book then set it on the table. He picked her up and waited as she shifted into him, wrapping her arums around his neck. Turning around he took the book from the table and headed towards the door.

 

“We were bored” Kagome quietly mumbled.

 

“I see that” Sesshoumaru said as he walked out of the library and down the hall.

 

“There's nothing to do around here any more” she mumbled with a small yawn.

 

“I know” he said “Next time, rather then falling asleep in the library you can take the book to your room.”

 

“Alright” she yawned as she fell back to sleep.

 

Sesshoumaru looked down at her and continued to her room.
