Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 38:

Trapped

 

 

 

Rin finally gave up on trying to get to Kagome and settled for sitting down to watch her. Kagome sat on the floor with both arms wrapped around her sides as she tried to breathe. She closed her eyes and began to cry as she tried not to throw up. Every time she thought about him she felt sick and her need to get away grew. Rin quietly watched as her mother cried, unable to do anything else. She waited a few more minutes then started to say something but stopped when the door opened and a couple maids walked in.

 

Rin stood up and looked at the two of them as they bowed and one spoke up “We are here to serve both Lady Kagome and Lady Rin.”

 

Kagome said nothing as she continued to cry. The maids looked at each other then split up, one going over to Rin while the other went to Kagome. As the maid approached, Rin sniffled shying away from her. The maid stopped noticing her discomfort and kneeled.

 

“Do not worry” she said softly “My name is Caroli, I was sent her to take care of you.”

 

Rin sniffled and looked at the maid “My mommy needs help.”

 

“I know” she smiled lightly “My friend Noriko is helping Lady Kagome, see” she pointed over to the two.

 

Rin looked over to see Noriko kneeling beside Kagome, lightly rubbing her back as she cried. “My ankle hurts” she sniffled finally.

 

“Alright” Caroli stood then walked over to her “I'll take a look at it.”

 

Rin nodded and held up her arms as the maid picked her up “Alright...”

 

The maid walked over to the bed and sat down setting Rin in her lap “What ankle hurts?”

 

“This one” Rin pointed to her ankle with the chain and sniffled.

 

“Alright” Caroli moved Rin in her lap “Let me see.”

 

“Ok...” Rin lifted her foot up so the maid could get a better look.

 

Caroli gave a light smile and looked at the child's ankle. The ankle was red and slightly swollen. “Does it hurt when I touch it?” she asked as she lightly touched her ankle.

 

Rin sniffled and moved her leg “A little.”

 

“You thought the chain was longer then what it actually was and tripped didn't you?” Caroli asked.

 

“I ran and the chain stopped and the made me fall.” Rin said

 

“Alright, I'll go get a few bandages so I can wrap our ankle so you'll have a little padding” Caroli sat Rin on the bed and stood “You stay here and stay off your ankle.”

 

“Ok” Rin sniffled again.

 

“I'll be right back” the maid smiled and walked out of the room.

 

As Caroli was taking care of Rin, Noriko was kneeling next to Kagome lightly rubing her back. Kagome's cries began to slow as she concentrated more on her breathing. She looked at the maid helping her. These were the maids Evann sent? ...or was it Akira? Sighing Kagome shook her head, nothing made sense any more. Frowing she put a hand to her head, her head hurt and thinking of these things only made it hurt more. She watched as the maid, Caroli, took care of Rin gently and with great care. When the maid left, setting Rin on the bed she stood up, looking around the room.

 

“Lady Kagome” Noriko said quietly standing as well. She reached out to touch Kagome's arm only to have her smack it away. “Lady Kagome please, you mustn't move around, it's not good for you to stress so much” again she reached out to touch her.

“Don't touch me!” Kagome screamed moving away from the maid.

 

Noriko jumped back, startled from the outburst. Rin quickly looked over at Kagome. Kagome walked around the room stumbling every once in a while, tears were streaming down her cheeks again. Noriko kept her distance but followed Kagome, making sure that she would be alright. Rin moved on the bed, watching as well. She had to find a way out, that's all there was to it, she couldn't stay here. She couldn't let Rin stay here, she had to protect her from him.

 

“Have to..” Kagome stumbled as she began to feel light headed “Get out...” she took another step then fell as her legs gave out.

 

“Mommy!” Rin cried out and crawled off the bed.

 

“Lady Kagome!” Noriko ran over and caught Kagome before she hit the floor.

 

Caroli walked inot the room carrying a tray of bandages and a bowl of water along with a few towels. She saw Rin off the bed, crying then saw Noriko on the ground holding Kagome and gasped. She quickly set the tray down and hurried over to the two.

 

“What happened?” Caroli asked.

 

Noriko looked at Caroli “She fainted from stressing so much.”

 

“Alright” Caroli said “let's get her over to the bed.”

 

“Right” Noriko shifted and stood up “You get her legs.”

 

Caroli nodded and the two worked together to get Kagome on the bed. Once they finally got Kagome to the bed they covered her with a light blanket. Noriko b fought the tray over and began cleaning the room while Caroli took care of Rin. Rin sniffled and watched Kagome as Caroli wrapped both of their ankles to give them padding against the metal restraints.

 

“Will mommy be alright?” Rin quietly asked.

 

“She'll be just fine” Caroli said “She just needs some rest.”

 

“Are you sure?” Rin continued to ask.

 

“Hai, I'm sure” Caroli smiled “Now, you both had a stressful day so you should get some rest as well.”

 

“Ok” Rin said then laid down next to Kagome.

 

“When you wake up we'll have a nice meal prepared for the both of you” Noriko said from across the room.

 

Rin nodded and laid down letting the maid cover her with a blanket. The two maids smiled and quietly worked around the room while Rin and Kagome slept. When they were done the two left to prepare the meal that they promised. They wanted the two to feel comfortable where they were. Granted no one could get used to having chains around their ankles along with being a captive but they wanted to at least make them feel comfortable in the room.

Sesshoumaru growled as he sat behind his desk in the study. He wasn't happy that Gram was here and his wife would be coming soon but the main thing that caused him growl was the fact that Gram knew where Kagome was. How he knew Sesshoumaru had no clue but he was going to find out one way or another. Sano would pay for what he did, no matter what happened he would make Sano pay.

 

“Alright” Sesshoumaru said “The arrangements were made. Now, where is Kagome?”

 

“Your positive that she will be under full protection while she's here?” Gram asked.

 

“Yes” Sesshoumaru answered “She will be under full protection while she is here.”

 

“Alright” Gram looked over at Von and Dante who were sitting close by then back to Sesshoumaru “Kagome is in Naraku's castle” he looked at them before continuing “this whole thing was planned out, and now their waiting for you to come.”

“Who's waiting for Sesshoumaru?” Dante asked.

 

“Naraku and Sano” Gram answered “It was a deal, Naraku would help Sano get Kagome and in return, Sano would kill Sesshoumaru when he comes to get Kagome.”

 

“But why does Naraku want Lord Sesshoumaru dead?” Dante asked “It's not like him to team up with someone.”

 

“Naraku plans on absorbing Sesshoumaru” Gram looked over at Dante “Alone, Naraku would be unable to defeat Sesshoumaru, but Sano can. Sano is powerful enough.”

 

“So it's a trap then” Von stated.

 

“Yes” Gram said “Kagome is the bait.”

 

“Why exactly does Sano want Kagome?” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“I believe that you already know what Kagome is” Gram said.

 

“Yes” Sesshoumaru said “She is a youkai of ancient blood.”

 

“Right” Gram paused for a moment to thing “Sano is of the same bloodline. He plans on using Kagome to revive his race. And with Kagome being of noble blood there is no better choice.”

 

“Noble blood?” Dante asked.

 

“Yes” Gram answered looking at Dante then back to Sesshoumaru “Have you seen her transform?”

 

“Yes” Sesshoumaru answered “But she did not realize that it when she did.”

 

“Then you have seen the marking on her head” Gram stated more then asked. With a nod from Sesshoumaru he continued “That mark is a symbol of her bloodline, just as your mark is a symbol of yours.”

 

“So then, Kagome is royalty” Von said.

 

“Exactly” Gram looked over at Von “Princess Kagome.”

 

“Where is Naraku's castle?” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“I am unsure of the exact location but I do know that it is somewhere north of here” Gram said.

 

“Very well” Sesshoumaru stood “Von, your in charge until you leave, then Dante will be in charge.”

 

“Right” Von nodded “I will stay as long as I can.”

 

“You can't possibly be thinking of going after him: Gram stood up “It's a trap.”

 

“It's a trap that I will walk into” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Sano will kill you” Gram continued.

 

“He has my mate and child” Sesshoumaru looked over at him “Surely you understand the need to protect those you love.”

 

“Sano has probably already taken Kagome to his bed” Gram didn't let up.

 

“Are you really worried about your mate?” Sesshoumaru asked “You are the one who is doing whatever you can to protect her, no I suggest that you stand back before I refuse both you and your mate of my protection.”

 

Gram started to protest but decided it would be better to stay quiet and sat down. Saying nothing else Sesshoumaru walked out of the study and down the hall. Von and Dante followed after him. Gram however, stayed in the study quietly thinking to himself.

 

Sesshoumaru walked into his room and took his sword of their stands. Placing them at his side he walked out. He stopped at the main doors seeing Dante and Von standing there.

 

“Be careful” Dante said.

 

“Right, Naraku is dangerous but with Sano it will be even worse” Von added.

 

Sesshoumaru simply nodded and walked out. He would find the castle and he would get them back. That was the only thing that mattered to him. His mate and child. Nothing would stop him.

 

 

Alright, there you go. I know this was short but that's all I could give you for now.
