Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 39:

Run Away

 

 

Kagome quietly laid on the bed with her arm around Rin who was still asleep. She had woken up earlier from the maids setting up a table for their meal. When she woke up Rin was still asleep and was curled into her so she decided to stay where she was and let the child sleep. If Rin was able to sleep then she was going to do anything she could to let the small child sleep. She was safe in her dreams; no one could hurt her there, not even him.

 

Rin shifted slightly, curling into Kagome more. Looking down at Rin Kagome held her close trying to give the child as much comfort as possible. Kagome tried to go back to sleep herself but was unable to. It was her fear of him that kept her awake; if she was asleep when he came she wouldn't be able to protect Rin.

 

When the meal was prepared and the maids informed Kagome she hesitated, not wanting to wake Rin up. Deciding that Rin should eat, Kagome sat up and lightly shook her.

 

“Rin” Kagome said quietly “Time to get up.”

 

Rin shifted and opened her eyes “Do we get to eat now?”

 

Kagome smiled “Yes, you get to eat now.”

 

Rin smiled as well and crawled off the bed. Before Kagome followed Rin she looked down at her ankle with the chain and noticed that her ankle was wrapped. Smiling she stood and walked over to the small table. As she sat down the maids offered her a plate of food which was gladly accepted.

 

The meal was filled with a light conversation by both Rin and the maids. Kagome smiled, glad that Rin was feeling comfortable around the two maids. When they were down with their meal the maids began to clean the table, loading the dishes back onto their trays.

 

Rin sat down on the bed, still not wanting to drag around the chain. Kagome sat down next to Rin and smiled at her. “I want to go home” Rin said.

 

“I know Rin” Kagome said “I want to go home too” She wrapped her arms around Rin and pulled the small child into her lap.

 

Rin curled into her “Do you think Sota and Itaru and Erika are alright?”

 

“I think they're just fine” Kagome looked down at Rin “They're all strong.”

 

Rin simply nodded and leaned against Kagome.

 

Every once in a while Kagome glanced back at the maids as they cleaned the table, when they were done they politely excused themselves to take the dirty dishes away. Kagome continued to sit on the bed holding Rin until the maids came back. Then, she laid down, taking Rin with her, the two quietly laid there, just wanting each others company.

 

Kagome was about to fall asleep when she herd the door open and the maids bowing while they asked their `Master' what they could do for him. For the moment Kagome just lad there, thinking. Master? What were they talking about? Then when she herd his voice she realized who they were talking to. Instinctively her arms tightened around Rin and she sat up.

 

The maids bowed low to Akira as he stood in the door way. A guard was standing behind him, quiet and still like a statue. Kagome stood up with Rin in her arms. Akira looked over to her and walked into the room, the guard following behind him.

 

Rin whined when she woke up to see Akira and curled into Kagome as much as she could. Kagome kept her arms tight around Rin and looked at Akira as he stopped in front of her. Akira smiled and reached his hand out, running his fingers through Rin's hair. Rin tightened her grip around Kagome, making a small noise.

 

Kagome moved back, keeping Akira away from Rin “Leave her alone.”

 

Akira smiled “Do not worry, I will not hurt her.” He took a step closer causing Kagome to move back “No one will harm the child.”

 

As if on que the guard took out a set of keys and moved over to the two. Kagome held Rin close as the guard took the child's small ankle in his hands. Remaining quiet he used one of the keys and unlocked the chain around Rin's ankle. Confused, Kagome looked at Akira who smiled at her.

 

“Rin is simply being moved to another room” Akira said.

 

Kagome's eyes widened slightly and backed away from the guard “S… stay back.”

 

Akira smirked “Come now, I had a special room prepared for her, on free of chain and full with toys” he nodded to the guard who bowed slightly and advanced on the two.

 

“I said stay back” Kagome hollered.

 

The guard said nothing and lifted his arms to take Rin. Kagome moved back but ran into Akira. She gasped and jumped in surprise. How did he get behind her, how could she have not seen him. Akira wrapped his arms around Kagome allowing the guard to pry the child out of her arms. Both Rin and Kagome began to struggle though Rin was easily restrained.

 

“Mommy!” Kagome fought against Akira.

 

“Let her go!” Kagome fought against Akira.

 

“Rin will be just fine” Akira said “Caroli will be with her all the time.”

 

The guard turned and began to walk out. Rin's cries became louder causing Kagome to struggle more. Akira chuckled and easily held Kagome back. Kagome screamed as the guard left the room, Caroli following behind him. Kagome struggled with all her strength but getting no where, she cried as she slowly sank to the floor with Akira still holding her.

 

Noriko silently stood by the door keeping her sad eyes down, fighting herself not to cry. She knew what Akira was doing, why he was moving Rin to another room. She just hoped that Kagome could stay strong, she can't let Akira break her. She had to survive.

 

Akira kept his arms around Kagome as she cried and weakly continued to struggle with him “The child will not be harmed, she is simply being moved into another room.”

 

“She's just a kid” Kagome cried “She's scared and she needs me.”

 

“You will be able to see her” Akira reached into his pocket, pulling out a set of his own keys “Be still and I'll take the restraint off.”

 

Kagome hesitated for a moment then quit struggling. She allowed Akira to turn her around and waited as he unlocked the chain. When the chain finally came off Kagome waited until Akira moved closer then delivered a swift kick to his jaw when his guard was down.

 

Akira grabbed his jaw and fell back. Quickly Kagome stood up and ran out the door. Noriko gasped at Kagome's action and put a hand over her mouth. Akira growled and looked at the door as his eyes grew darker then what they already were. He stood up, wiping the trickle of blood that formed on the corner of his lip. Noriko coward back as he started towards the door. She watched as he walked out the door then ran down the hall, following Kagome's scent.

 

Kagome ran down the hall as fast as she could. First she had to find Rin, then, they would both get out. The only problem: where was she? There were so many doors. She could be any where and there was no time for her to stop and check every room. She continued to run down the hall, listening to see if she could hear anything, some kind of clue to tell her where Rin was. As she ran she could have sworn that she herd a growl but decided to ignore it. When she herd the growl again she turned and held back a scream as she saw Akira coming after her. Turning back around Kagome ran as fast as she could. But it was no use, he was catching up.

 

Akira growled and ran after Kagome, he could see her and was easily catching up. He was going to be nice and let her move around without the chain, but, if this was the way that she was going to act then he would have no problem keeping her restrained. He could have laughed at her, a human could never out run a youkai like him. But then, Kagome was not a human either, she just didn't know how to tap into her power at will. As he was only a few feet away Kagome began to speed up and Akira couldn't help but smirk. She was changing; her need to get out must be great.

 

Kagome continued to run, the only thing that ran though her head: run. He was so close to her, he could have easily grabbed her. She tightly closed her eyes, he was toying with her, when she began to move faster she smiled to herself. Not only did she run faster but her eye sight became better, as well as her hearing. Maybe Akira was right, maybe she was different. She ran as fast as she could, listening to the people inside of the rooms as she ran by.

 

She was about to call out for Rin when the air was knocked out of her as she was thrown against the wall. Akira held his hand at her throat, growling as he looked her over. She hand fully changed, she really must have wanted to leave if she changed. Kagome grasped his arm at her throat and sunk her newly formed claws into his wrist, drawing fresh blood. He looked at his wrist, acting as if it didn't even faze him. He leaned closer to Kagome, squeezing her neck, causing her to choke, gasping for air.

 

“I will keep you off your chain but if you so much as even think of pulling this stunt again” he growled out then moved his lips by her ear “I will make sure that you watch as I have my men murder your precious daughter.”

 

Kagome instantly froze her nails still in his wrist. They were stuck here… with him. She looked into his eyes and could see that he was serious. He wouldn't think twice about killing Rin.

 

“Good” Akira said, loosening his grip on Kagome's throat. He looked at Kagome's hand and carefully pried her nails out of his wrist then looked at her. “Now, if I let you go will you behave?”

 

Kagome nodded, closing her eyes and putting her head down “Hai…”

 

Akira smirked, letting go of Kagome's neck. Kagome stood where she was, catching her breath. “Now, back to the room” he grabbed her upper arm and began walking.

 

Kagome jerked her arm away from his grasp and glared at him. Akira turned and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. She narrowed her eyes even more and walked by him. He chuckled and followed behind her, It was going to be fun breaking her in.
