Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 37:

Who the Enemy Really Is

 

 

Kagome groggily sat up and looked around putting a hand to her head. She was inside a finely furnished room but, where exactly was she? Was she back at the castle and just in a new room? She moved to get off the bed when she felt something around her ankle. Hesitantly Kagome looked down at her ankle to see a black chain. Her eyes widened in surprise and followed the chain. It was a long chain that was connected to the foot of her bed and her ankle. The chain was long enough for Kagome to be able to move around but it was strong enough to be unable to be broken.

 

Looking at the foot of the bed where the chain was held down Kagome realized that there was a second chain. She followed the chain and found Rin to be laying next to her, a chain on her leg as well. Her breathing quickened as she realized what was happening. They were some where with Sano, he had taken them from Sesshoumaru. It was probably his castle, that they were in but where, where was his castle?

 

Kagome moved over to Rin and tapped her shoulder “Rin, get up.”

 

Rin made a small noise and rolled over, Sano must have done something. Rin was always easy to get up.

 

Kagome tapped Rin a few more times and got no responses before she began to panic. She quickly grabbed the chain and began pulling as hard as she could. They had to get away; they had to get from him. She continued to pull and jerk at the chain as her hands became red and tender to the touch. Tears ran down her cheeks as she pulled on the chain. Nothing but the key would remove the key, she knew that. That is what frightened her the most.

 

Rin mumbled lightly and rolled over, she opened her eyes and saw Kagome pulling on a chain, crying. Sitting up she looked at the chains and found the one was attached to each of them.

 

“Stupid chain” Kagome cried “Come on…”

 

Rin crawled over to Kagome and placed a hand on her arm “Mommy” she said quietly.

 

Kagome stopped and looked at the child “Rin…” she dropped the chain and pulled her into a hug. “You're not hurt are you?” she pulled back and looked over the small child.

 

“No” Rin said “I'm fine.”

 

“Good” Kagome gave a relived sigh.

 

“Why are you crying?” Rin reached up and wiped her tears away.

 

“Because Rin” Kagome pulled Rin into another hug “It's not safe here, we have to get out.”

 

“But how?” Rin asked

 

Kagome sighed, Rin did make a good point. They were stuck, thick chains rested on their ankles. How could they get out of this one? Kagome closed her eyes, she only hoped that Sesshoumaru would come soon.

 

After a few minutes Kagome slid off the bed, dragging the chain with her. The chain was long enough to let her walk around most of the room. Rin sat on the bed and watched Kagome move around. For her, the chain was heavy and she didn't feel like dragging it around with her.

 

“Where are we?” Rin asked.

 

“I'm not sure” Kagome answered quietly.

 

“Why your in my room” a voice came from the door way.

 

Kagome turned to see a man standing in the door way. He was nicely dressed and had short, spiked hair with white streaks. A tear drop rested on his forehead and his cold, crimson eyes on her. She hurried over to Rin and wrapped her arms around her.

 

“Who are you?” Kagome asked.

 

“Ah yes, you have yet to meet me. My name is Akira” He began walking towards the two “But perhaps you would know my better like this” he smirked as his form changed into Erwin.

 

Kagome glared at him “You.”

 

Erwin chuckled “You do not like this form” he paused for a moment “Then how about this one?” again his form changed, this time into Sano.

 

“I don't like either of your forms” Kagome glared.

 

Sano laughed as Rin hid behind Kagome “Alright, what about this” he paused as his form changed again “Is this one more to your taste?” the sound of Sesshoumaru's voice came out.

 

Kagome moved back slightly with Rin as Sesshoumaru's form walked over to them. He sounded just like Sesshoumaru, he even moved like him. She tried to look away as he hooked a finger under her chin but couldn't help it. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the golden ones that looked back at her.

 

“Does this form please you?” he asked.

 

Kagome silently continued to look into his eyes before she roughly pulled her head away form him and pushed him back “No!”

 

Sesshoumaru laughed as his form changed back into Akira “Then I will stay in my real form” he moved over to them again.

 

“Stay back!” Kagome kept Rin behind her.

 

“And what is it that you fear?” he moved onto the bed, inching closer to the two “That I will hurt your precious adopted daughter?”

 

“Don't you dare touch Rin” Kagome glared.

 

“My dear sweet Kagome” he smirked as he grabbed her arm and pulled her into him “I do not intend on harming Rin, you are the only one that I care about.”

 

Kagome struggled against him causing him to hold her tighter “Let me go!”

 

“Now why would I do that?” Akira laughed and pressed her tighter against him.

 

“Leave mommy alone” Rin cried.

 

Akira laughed and looked at Rin “Are you worried about your mother?” he smirked and let Kagome go who quickly moved away. He stood up and looked at the two “You are very precious to me Kagome.”

 

“Why?” Kagome asked “What makes me so special?”

 

“Because” he smiled “you and I are the last of our kind.”

 

“Kind?” she asked confused.

 

“Yes, an old race that died years ago” he walks around the room “I am the only one who survived thanks to a certain spell. And you” he looked at her and smiled “You are a descendant of that race.”

 

“Descendant” Kagome asked “How?”

 

“Your mother” Akira smirked.

 

“What…?” Kagome was completely confused.

 

“Your mother was the child of the last one living but she was never told and so, she was never aware of her own abilities. But you on the other hand are able to bring out this blood. With the proper training you would easily be able to use your abilities. You could probably even bring out your brothers blood.” Akira sat on the bed.

 

“H…how do you know so much about me and my family?” Kagome hesitated.

 

“You mean how I know that you ran away trying to get away from your step father, how he beat your younger brother, Sota, after you left or how your mother was killed?” Akira leaned closer to Kagome.

 

Kagome gasped and jumped back, off the bed “H… how?”

 

“How?” Akira asked “I know a lot about you Kagome” he laughed “Excuse me, I should say Princess, Kagome.”

 

“Princess?” Kagome backed up as Akira began moving towards her “I'm not a princess.”

 

“Oh but you are, just as I am part of the royal bloodline, this mark” he pointedto the tear drop on his forehead “This shows that I am a prince and you have the same mark that shows exactly what you are.”

 

“But that's impossible and I don't even have a mark” Kagome stopped when she came to the end of her chain.

 

“Not now” Akira said “But when you change, the mark will appear.”

 

Kagome started to say something but stopped. That dream, she changed and had the same mark he was talking about. Could he really be telling the truth? Was the dream showing her what she really was? “T… the dream…” she stuttered.

 

“So, you have already started dreaming” Akira smirked and reached out to touch her.

 

Kagome jerked back pulling against the chain causing her to fall. Akira smiled and kneeled down, leaning over her. She tried to move back but couldn't the chain was pulled too far. “What dreams?” she asked shakily.

 

“You my dear” Akira said “Have the gift of foresight.”

 

“Foresight?” she asked.

 

“You can see things, events in the future in your dreams” Akira smiled.

 

Kagome paled and began to feel sick. If he was speaking the truth then that meant… no, it couldn't happen. Kagome tried to speak but nothing came out. Everything was a mess, nothing made sense to her any more.

 

Akira put a hand to her to her cheek “You must have seen something dreadful for you to act like that” he smiled “Tell me, what did you see?”

 

Kagome looked at him but no works came out. She looked into his crimson eyes then over at Rin. It was only a dream, not thing more, it had to be.

 

“Come Kagome” Akira said as his from began to shift “Tell me your dream and I will show you my secret.”

 

“S… Sessh…oumaru” Kagome stuttered.

 

“So, something will happen to the great Lord” his hair and eyes changed “Now, I will show you how I know so much about you” he moved Kagome to look at him as his form completely changed.

 

Kagome looked at the form in front of her and screamed. She tried to move back, pulling the chain tighter. The chain was as tight as it could go and began cutting off her circulation. Rin began crying as Kagome screamed and tried to run over but her chain was smaller. She fell to the floor as the chain reached as far as it could. Kagome tried to get up but only succeeded in tripping over the chain.

 

“Oh, that's right” he smirked “You hate this form most of all” he moved closer to her.

 

Kagome moved back, fighting against the chain “Get away” she cried.

 

“Come now Kagome, I couldn't have been that bad” he kneeled next to her and grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him.

 

Kagome struggled “Don't touch me!”

 

He wrapped his arms around her “Your mover loved me, that is, until she found out what I did.”

 

Crying, Kagome struggled trying to get away “Let me go…”

 

“It wont be that bad” he said “I'll be gently with you.”

 

Kagome froze as her sick feeling came back, worse then before. She moved to the side as she felt the need to vomit. He smirked and let her crawl off him. Leaning over on her hands and knees Kagome put a hand to her stomach as she tried to keep herself from vomiting. “E… Evann…” she choked out before vomiting.

 

He smirked and stood up “I will send in a maid to help you” he looked over at Rin who was at the edge of her chain, still trying to get to Kagome. “I'll be back to check on you two later” he looked back at Kagome for a moment then left.

 

 

Ok, I know this was short but I'm working as hard as I can to get some more typed up. I'm packed with homework so I don't have a whole lot of time to update.
