Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 36:

Found

 

 

Kagome quickly sat up on the couch. It was that dream again. It was the same dream but this time, it went further. She saw what happened to Sesshoumaru then saw herself, she changed. Her hair was longer, and a tear drop on her forehead. Silently she laid back down thinking about the dream and that figure. There was the man that caused everything, she could tell that the figure was a man but yet, he was covered in shadows and could not get a good look. If only she could see who it was, who the person was that caused the problem, which made Kagome fear sleeping.

 

Hearing Kagome Dante walked over to her “Is everything alright Kagome?”

 

Kagome looked up at Dante “How long have I been asleep?”

 

“Not long” Dante looked over at the bed “Erika is watching the kids for you.”

 

“Alright” Kagome sighed slightly.

 

Dante kneeled beside Kagome and took one of her hands “Lord Sesshoumaru will be just fine, trust me, I've served under him for many years.”

 

“Right…” Kagome moved her head to the side “I just can't help it.”

 

Before anything else could be said there was a loud boom causing everyone to look at the door. Rin and Sota jumped off the bed and ran over to Kagome. Dante stood and walked over to the door then carefully pressed his ear against it. A moment later he rushed over to the others, motioning for them to be quiet. Erika stood up carefully, holding Itaru. Kagome stood up taking both of the kid's hands. Dante quickly moved over to a couch resting against the wall and pushed it out of the way to reveal a small door.

 

“Hurry” Dante kept his voice low “This way” He opened the door to reveal a small area no bigger to be able to fit two full grown people and still have room to move.

 

“That won't fit all of us” Kagome whispered.

 

“Just get in” Dante said, his voice holding no room for argument.

 

Kagome simply nodded then looked at Erika “You go in first.” Erika hesitated but crawled in with her child. Kagome then gave both Rin and Sota a hug “Now you two.”

 

“But what about you?” Rin asked

 

“I'll be right behind you” Kagome smiled lightly.

 

“Alright” Sota nodded and led Rin into the small room.

 

Kagome looked in the room “I can't fit in there, its not enough room.”

 

Dante looked at well “Damn it…”

 

“I'll hide somewhere in here, close the door and hide them.” Kagome said,

 

“I can't do that, your safety is my priority” Dante said.

 

“And my priority is the safety of Rin and Sota” Kagome's voice was hard.

 

Hesitantly Dante closed the door and locked it. He began moving the couch when there was a loud bang and the door moved. “There breaking it down” Dante quickly pushed the couch in place then looked at Kagome “We need to get you hidden.”

 

Kagome nodded and looked around the room. The best place would be under the bed. Everything else was out in the open. At least the covers went down to the floor, she could hide there. Saying nothing she hurried over to the bed and crawled under. Dante pulled out his sword and waited as the banging on the door continued.

 

Only moments later did the door break down. Dante growled and began fighting as demons filled into the room. A few minutes later half of the demons were taken down but not so easily. With half of the enemy taken down, Dante only received a few injuries. Dante kept his sword up and looked around him as the enemy circled him. A couple of the demons moved out of the way for one to step through. The demon walked over to Dante and looked him over.

 

“So you are the guardian of the woman we seek” the demon circled around him and smirked.

 

“Hai” Dante watched at the demon circled him.

 

“It would be wise of you to stand down and give us the girl” the demon said.

 

“It would be wise of you to forget about the girl and leave” Dante looked at the demon.

 

The demon laughed and pulled out his sword “Tell us where the girl is.”

 

“If you want the girl that bad” Dante held his sword up “Then you're going to have to go through me.”

 

“Very well” the demon smirked.

 

The demon ran forward at Dante and the two swords clashed. Dante pushed the demon back with his sword only to block another slash from the demon. As they fought the other demons waited and watched, keeping a tight circle around the two. Both Dante's and the demons swords clashed several times before the demon was thrown back in to the others. Growling, the demon straightened out wobbling slightly. Dante held his sword as he too swayed. They both growled loudly and rushed at each other.

 

Kagome layed under the bed, listening to the growls and clashing of the swords. She hoped Dante would be alright but even through all of this, hiding under a bed waiting and hoping that no one would find her the main thing running through her head was if Sesshoumaru was alright. She froze when the fighting stopped. Did Dante loose? Did he win? No… she could hear him talking with someone. They were talking about her but, what did that man want her for? Kagome was brought out of her thoughts as the sounds of two sword clashing came to her. The noise lasted a few minutes and she couldn't help but look out from behind the covers when she herd a strangled gasp then silence.

 

Dante had his sword buried deep within the demons gut and his hand wrapped around his throat as he was backed against the wall. Kagome had to put a hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming. Dante too, was hurt. The demon was slow and didn't hit where he wanted but it was still a hit. Roughly Dante pulled his sword from the demon and backed away wincing as a blade slid out from his side. Coughing up blood the demon smirked.

 

“Our Lord… will get the child and… then… he will restart his old… race” the demon coughed bring up more blood “Nothing will… stop him.”

 

“We'll see about that” Dante growled out and thrust his sword back into the demon.

 

Kagome closed her eyes when the rain outside became harder and the thunder and lighting clashed. The other demons growled at Dante as they moved closer to him. Dante held his sword ready but knew he wouldn't be able to fight all of them off.

 

Just as soon at the fight started it was over. Dante was able to defeat all of his attackers. Kagome watched as swayed and dropped his sword. She crawled out from under the bed and quickly caught him before he fell to the floor. Carefully Kagome helped Dante down so he could sit. Wincing he shifted and took off his belt which held the sheath to his sword so he could sit better. Kagome kneeled next to him and looked over his wounds.

 

“You can't fight any more” Kagome said “your hurt too much.”

 

“I'll be fine” Dante said as he tried to get up “I much protect you and the others.”

 

“You've protected us enough” Kagome said as she made him sit “you stay here, I'm going to find Sesshoumaru.”

 

“You can't Kagome” Dante grabbed her arm “It's too dangerous out there.”

 

“I'll be careful” Kagome smiled and pulled her arm away.

 

“It's not a good idea Kagome” Dante sighed.

 

“I know” Kagome stood up “But something has to be done.”

 

“Just… be careful” Dante warned.

 

Kagome nodded and ran out of the room “I will.”

 

Dante sighed as Kagome left “What a way to get yourself in serious trouble” he moved himself to lean against the wall “Letting the Lady go off on her own when there's danger around every corner… Lord Sesshoumaru's gonna kill me.”

Kagome carefully hurried down the hall, watching for any of Naraku's demons. None seemed to be around but she looked down each hall before continuing. She couldn't be caught, she had to find Sesshoumaru. As a loud clap of thunder sounded through out the castle Kagome jumped and covered her mouth to quiet her startled scream. Now more then ever she hated the thunder as she moved down the hall. Quickly she hurried down the hall and past the garden. The castle was empty, no guards or demons, she couldn't even see a maid. What happened? Where did everyone go?

 

Coming to the main hall Kagome could see the main door open. Kagome ran over to the door way to see the main gates broken down. She looked around outside and saw bodies laying on the ground, no one looked alive. Beginning to panic Kagome ran outside and past the broken gate not caring as the heavy rain soaked her clothes and caused her damp hair to cling to her face and neck. As she passed through the gates she could see people fighting, they were all over the place. Taking a few steps back Kagome turned and picked turned and picked a direction to go in and ran, she had to find Sesshoumaru.

 

____------______-------

 

Sesshoumaru fought his way through the hoard of demons, taking down everything in his path with one person in sight. Sano. Sano was easily taking down any guard that dared to fight him. As Sano brought his sword down to end yet another guards' life another sword came from the side, cutting him off. Smirking Sano jumped back and looked at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru held up his sword and locked eyes with Sano.

 

“Ah, Lord Sesshoumaru, finally we meet in battle” Sano smirked.

 

“Tell me” Sesshoumaru said “What is your true form, Erwin or Sano?”

 

Sano laughed “I could be either, which would you rather fight, Erwin or Sano?”

 

“I do not care what form I fight as long as you die by my blade” Sesshoumaru said his voice cold.

 

Sano smirked and lunged forward at Sesshoumaru who brought Toukijin up and easily blocked. “Tell me Lord Sesshoumaru” Sano smirked “Would you rather fight Erwin?” as he spoke his form changed into that of Erwin “Or perhaps Naraku” again his formed changed to become Naraku. “Then again” his smirk grew as his form began to change again “Maybe your mate.”

 

Sesshoumaru growled as he looked at Kagome's form. He pushed forward and pushed her back. “No matter what form you take you will always be the one who threatened me and my family” Sesshoumaru growled out.

 

“Oh dear” Kagome's form laughed, it even sounded exactly like her “And I thought you loved me” her form changed back into Sano “Never mind that, it's time to take what I came here for.”

 

“Kagome is in a place where you cannot get to her” Sesshoumaru said and prepared to attack.

 

Sano smirked “Are you sure about that Lord Sesshoumaru?” he pointed his sword to the right.

 

Sesshoumaru followed the sword with his eyes and looked where he was pointing to see Kagome standing back a ways, watching them. Saying nothing Sesshoumaru took off after Kagome the same time Sano did. He had to get to her before Sano could. Sesshoumaru was fast but Sano was faster.

 

Sano grabbed Kagome around the waist and pulled her close to him. He brought his sword up to her neck smirking “You should train more Lord Sesshoumaru.”

 

Stopping in front of Sano and Kagome, Sesshoumaru growled “Let her go.”

 

“I think not” Sano said and tightened his grip as Kagome began to struggle. “Sheath your sword before my blade accidentally slips against your mates' throat.”

 

Growling Sesshoumaru sheathed Toukijin “You will not get away with this.”

 

“Oh but I thing I already have” Sano smirked “You killed my men, she will do just fine as payment.”

 

“I'm not going to be your payment for anything” Kagome struggled.

 

Sano laughed and kissed her neck causing Sesshoumaru to growl louder “At least you won't be alone.”

 

“What are you talking about?” Kagome asked, highly annoyed.

 

“Look to your right” Sano said loud enough for both Kagome and Sesshoumaru to hear.

 

The two looked and Kagome gasped as Sesshoumaru growled. There, off to the side stood a demon holding an unconscious Rin. Kagome began to struggle more causing Sano to laugh.

 

“Let her go you creep!” Kagome yelled.

 

“My” Sano laughed “What a protective mother. Be glad I didn't grab your brother as well.”

 

“I'll kill you myself if you did anything to hurt Rin or Sota” Kagome continued to yell.

 

“We'll see about that” he smirked then looked at Sesshoumaru “Say goodbye to your mate and child Lord Sesshoumaru.”

 

Sesshoumaru growled as Sano began to disappear along with the demon and Rin. Kagome continued to struggle as tears ran down her cheeks. Growling he ran after them.

 

“Sesshoumaru!” Kagome screamed and reached her arms out as if she was trying to reach him as she disappeared.

 

Sesshoumaru stopped, he couldn't get her “Wait for me” Sesshoumaru said “I'll get you both back then end this once and for all” he growled and headed back to the castle.

 

___-------_______----------

 

Dante quickly stepped out of Sesshoumaru's study and closed the door as an object shattered against the door. He sighed as he leaned against the door. It has only been a day since Kagome and Rin were taken and he was still too injured to be dodging everything Sesshoumaru threw in his direction. Sesshoumaru hasn't slept or even eaten since everything happened. Not once did he leave his study. Sighing Dante walked down to his room and quietly entered.

 

In the room Erika was quietly taking care of Itaru while Sota laid on a smaller bed that was brought in for him.

 

“Has he said anything yet?” Dante asked moving over to Erika and giving her a light hug.

 

“No” Erika answered “Not yet but he doesn't seem to be hurt that bad.”

 

“Alright” Dante walked over to Sota and kneeled next to him. “Don't worry” he said softly “Lord Sesshoumaru will get your sister and Rin back.”

 

Sota looked at Dante but refused to say anything. Dante sighed and stood up. He hoped that Sota would say something, anything at all. But nothing came out. Sota refused to speak no matter how hard he or Erika tried.

 

“I need to get back to Lord Sesshoumaru” Dante said “Before he destroys anything else.”

 

`Alright” Erika said as she laid Itaru down “Be careful.”

 

“I'll try” Dante said as he walked out the door.

 

Dante walked through the main hall to see Von walk through the front door with someone following behind him. He walked up to the two then growled upon seeing who was who was with Von.

 

“It's alright Dante” Von said “Gram has some important information.”

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru is very busy” Dante said “What kind of information do you have?”

 

Gram looked at Dante “I know where Kagome is.”
