Trust in a Youkai
Chapter 30:
Interesting discoveries
Kagome yawned as she woke up and smiled lightly. She moved to sit up but something held her down. Confused Kagome moved he covers back to see an arm wrapped around her waist. Then she remembered about last night and going to Sesshoumaru's room. She shifted slightly and the arm around her waist tightened. Since she couldn't move her body she settled for turning her head. When she turned her head she saw Sesshoumaru sleeping next to her. She smiled lightly. He didn't look like his cold and dangerous self when he slept, he looked peaceful. To her, this would have been perfect for a picture. The way his hair flowed behind him and around his was beautiful.
Still smiling Kagome turned her head around and snuggled into her blankets deciding that she could sleep a little longer. This was definitely something she could get used to. Closing her eyes she allowed Sesshoumaru to pull her closer to him.
When Sesshoumaru woke he let a small smile grace his lips. Kagome was still asleep and his arm was still wrapped around her. He shifted slightly letting his other hand come up and smooth out her hair. He paused for a moment when she shifted then continued once she settled down. He liked having her there by his side like this. It felt right to him which only fueled his need for her more. Yawning slightly Sesshoumaru nuzzled his head into her neck smiling lightly when she moved closer to him. He could afford a little more sleep, the study wasn't that important.
Sesshoumaru was almost asleep when the door to his room few open and Rin ran into the room yelling loudly causing both Sesshoumaru and Kagome to jump. Kagome yelped and quickly moved away already starting to blush.
“Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru” Rin yelled “Kagome is missing, Kagome…” Rin stopped dead in her tracks upon seeing the two, a big grin forming on her lips “Did Kagome stay here all night?”
“I uh… um… I…” Kagome stuttered her blush growing.
“Hai, Rin” Sesshoumaru answered for Kagome.
Rin's grin grew bigger if possible and ran out of the room “Sota!” she called out “I found Kagome, she's sleeping with Sesshoumaru!”
Kagome stiffened as her face turned bright red “No, Rin it's not what it looks like she called out”
“What do you mean by that?” Sesshoumaru asked as he looked at her.
“Uh… nothing” Kagome laughed nervously “I'm gonna go change now” she quickly got out and hurried to her room.
Sesshoumaru got out of bed as well and walked over to his closet. Hearing some giggling he turned to see Rin and Sota run in. Rin giggled as she jumped onto his bed followed by Sota. The two watched as Sesshoumaru pulled out a set of red clothing. Sota smiled when Sesshoumaru looked at him.
“I need to change” Sesshoumaru pointed to the door.
Both kids laughed and ran towards the door. Sesshoumaru shook his head and began changing as they closed the door. Sota and Rin were waiting in the hall way by Sesshoumaru's room. When the door opened and Sesshoumaru walked out the two looked up at him. Sesshoumaru looked at Sota and raised and eyebrow.
“Told ya you would look cool” Sota said as he smiled.
“I wanted to wear red” Sesshoumaru said as he looked at Sota.
“And I thought you didn't like all red” a voice came from behind him.
Sesshoumaru turned around to see Kagome standing behind him. Both the kids laughed and ran off down the hall. Kagome smiled and walked up to him. Sesshoumaru looked at her and began walking.
Laughing Kagome ran up to him and latched her arms around his arm “We're only joking with you” she said.
Sesshoumaru only nodded in reply. Kagome looked at him for a moment then looked at the floor.
“You look nice in red” she said still looking at the ground.
Sesshoumaru looked at his arm as he felt her grip loosen their hold. He knew what was bothering her. There was only one person he knew that always wore red. Someone Kagome no longer talked about. Inuyasha. He supposed that he did look somewhat like Inuyasha. Looking down at her he stopped. Hooking a finger under her chin he gently lifted her head to look at him.
“I am not Inuyasha” his voice was soft and gentle.
Kagome looked up at him “ I know, it's just…”
“My clothes” Sesshoumaru said “they remind you of him.”
Kagome nodded “I miss them… all of them but…”
“But?” Sesshoumaru said.
“I don't want to go back” she smiled lightly.
“I will go change” Sesshoumaru turned to leave.
“No” Kagome grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand “It's alright, I don't mind.”
Sesshoumaru looked at her then nodded “Alright” he began walking taking Kagome with him since she was still holding his hand.

Irvine and Koga walked into the large castle owned by Gram. Irvine shook his head as he looked around. Everything was overly decorated, so much like Gram, the person who spent everything on him and nothing on his people. Koga rolled his eyes and he looked at the large case of display weapons. To him, weapons were used to fight with, not for show. Gram had nothing built for defense, it was all show.
The two walked into the main hall where Gram was waiting. As the two walked up to him Gram took a drink from his glass which was most likely holding sake. Both Koga and Irvine bowed when they came up to him. Gram neither bowed nor sent them away, he just took another drink from his glass.
“Now, what was so important that you hand to come here un announced?” Gram asked.
“We have a few questions that we need to ask” Irvine said.
“Let me guess” Gram said “You believe that I had something to do with the attack on Lord Sesshoumaru.”
“You sayin that you didn't?” Koga growled.
“Listen pup” Gram growled back “I had nothing to do with that attack.”
“Then would you explain to us why a man mentioned you after the attack?” Irvine butted in before anything serious could happen.
Gram sighed and headed down to his study “Follow me.”
Irvine shook his head at Koga and followed Gram. Koga sighed and followed behind his father. No matter what he did he always got in trouble some way.
Inside the study Gram sat down at his desk. Irvine and Koga sat in a chair and waited for Gram to begin. Gram looked at the two demons “Despite of what you may think, I am not against you.”
“Then explain to us why your name was mentioned” Irvine said.
“About a week ago a man named Sano came here” Gram started “He claimed to be working for Naraku and came to offer me an alliance with Naraku if I helped.”
“So what did you do?” Koga asked.
“I declined” Gram said “No matter how much I despise Sesshoumaru I would never ally with Naraku.”
“And is that it?” Irvine continued to ask.
“I did find out some rather interesting information about that woman” Gram smirked.
“You mean Kagome” Irvine stated.
“Right” Gram looked at the two “Naraku is after Sesshoumaru's land while Sano is after Kagome.”
“Why is he after Kagome?” Koga asked trying to hide his irritation.
Gram looked at him and chuckled “Kagome isn't who you think she is… or should I say what you think she is.”
“What are you talking about, what do you know about Kagome?” Irvine asked “Sesshoumaru knows that she is different but does not know what it is.”
“Kagome isn't just a miko” Gram said “She is a descendant of an ancient youkai race. If used properly she could be very dangerous.”
“Is that why Sano wants her?” Irvine questioned.
“That is part of it” Gram answered “He wouldn't tell me exactly why he wanted her but I do know that she is very important to him and the fact that she can tap into her powers makes her even better.”
“What type of youkai is she?” Koga asked.
“A race that would fit Sesshoumaru very well, she is an Inu youkai” Gram said.
Irvine nodded “Sesshoumaru said that the man who attacked was named Sano. Sano mentioned that you told him that Sesshoumaru was a powerful Lord.”
“Yes, I did” Gram said “I also told him to give up because he would not be able to defeat Sesshoumaru.”
“Alright” Irvine said “Then we are done here.”
“Very well” Gram leaned back in his chair as the two stood up and walked out.
That Sano will get his in the end. Gram did not like to be threatened, especially having his wife threatened.
The two demons left the castle and headed back to the Western Lands. There was much to tell Sesshoumaru and maybe even Kagome.
Well, I hope that you liked it. I'm still having trouble with getting my chapters typed out at the moment so please just be patient and I will get them out as fast as I can. ^_^
