Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 41:

Finally Meeting

 

 

“No!” Kagome cried out and quickly brought her knee up into his groin.

 

Sesshoumaru and rolled off her, letting out a loud, pained groan. Kagome scrambled off the bed as fast as she could. She brought her hands up, ready to use her claws as a weapon when a look of panic crossed her face. Her claws were gone, what happened to her claws? Why were they gone?

 

Laughing, Sesshoumaru moved off the bed and stood up. Kagome began backing up as he slowly waked forward. As he walked towards her his form changed back into Akira. “You can't fight back” he said in a laugh “you changed back into your human form while you were sleeping.”

 

“I… I…” Kagome stuttered as she was backed into the wall.

 

Akira smirked “I will not punish you… this time” he held back a laugh when Kagome quickly pulled her kimono closed “I tricked you, and you were simply getting me back” he brought his hand up to touch her cheek only to have her flinch. “Relax, I will not harm you.”

 

Kagome looked at him unsure of what he really wanted. It wasn't like him to let her go on a beating or to say that he wouldn't harm her. She didn't move as he brought his hand up and gently cupped her cheek. Why was he being so gentle with her? It wasn't like him to be gentle with anyone. Nervously she looked at him, he was smiling, why was he smiling?

 

He started to say something but was interrupted when there was a knock on the door. Slowly he slid his hand from her cheek then moved over to the door. She looked over at the door to see a guard bow deeply to Akira. Frowning slightly she strained to hear what they were saying but unfortunately could not. The two talked for a minute then the guard let after another deep bow. Akira walked over to a dresser and took out a pair of clothing for both him and Kagome.

 

“Get dressed” he simply said as he gave her a pearl white kimono.

 

Kagome took the kimono and quickly hurried behind a changing screen when Akira began changing in front of her. As she changed she couldn't help but think about what was happening. She walked out to see Akira putting on his armor and weapons. Silently, she hoped that it was Sesshoumaru coming to take her and Rin away. But yet, she also hoped that it wasn't him, afraid that Akira could easily hurt him. Saying nothing Akira took Kagome's arm and walked out of the room. Where were they going, what was happening? Too many questions were running through her head, she didn't know what question to ask. Akira pulled Kagome down the hall until they came to a large door.

 

“What are we doing?” Kagome asked.

 

“Picking someone up” Akira simply said. He opened the door and walked in.

 

Kagome followed him in to see Rin sleeping on the bed next to Caroli. She looked over at Akira, a confused look in her eyes.

 

“Get the kid, hurry up” Akira said then looked at the guard who walked up to him and bowed.

 

“Sir” the guard said “The Lord is waiting or you.”

 

Akira nodded “Very well” He turned to Kagome “He will escort you to where you need to go.”

 

Not waiting for Kagome to answer he quickly left after making sure that he had is weapons. Kagome sighed and walked over to the bed, she carefully sat down on the bed, waking Caroli in the process.

 

“Lady Kagome” she said sleepily.

 

Kagome smiled lightly “I'm here to get Rin.”

 

Caroli yawned and looked out the window “So early? It's just barely dawn.”

 

“I know” Kagome said “But Akira told me too.”

 

“Oh, alright” Caroli sat up and smiled “Lady Rin really wants to see you.”

 

“Alright” Kagome leaned down and lightly tapped Rin “Rin, it's time to get up.”

 

Rin shifted slightly and rolled over, opening her eyes “Mommy?”

 

Kagome nodded “Yea.”

 

Rin smiled and immediately sat up, latching around Kagome “I missed you so much.”

 

“I know, I missed you too” Kagome patted the child's head “We have to go somewhere.”

 

“Where?” Rin asked.

 

“I'm not really sure, but we need to leave now” Kagome pulled Rin into her lap.

 

“Ok” Rin said as she yawned.

 

Kagome shifted and stood up with Rin in her arms. She looked over to Caroli and smiled lightly then walked over to the guard. “We're ready.”

 

“Follow me” the guard said then headed down the hall.

 

Quietly Kagome followed the guard, the small child in her arms. They walked down the long dark halls until they came to a long, dark stairway leading downstairs. At the end of the stairway was a large door that was designed by beautiful carvings. The guard opened the door and Kagome walked in with Rin. As soon as she walked in, the door slammed shut behind her. Kagome jumped and tried to open the door but with no luck, it was locked. Hesitating Kagome shifted Rin and turned around, heading down the hall.

 

The hall was dark, only lit by a few torches. Kagome followed the darkly lit hall until she walked into a lard room. As she entered the room she suddenly stopped. The room looked like a large office, but that wasn't all. In one of the corners stood two cells, on top of that there were things scattered around the room that wouldn't possibly be from this time. Slowly Kagome walked over to a small deck and touched a small reading lamp. Looking around more she could see many other things, different kinds of lamps, a radio, couches, chairs, tables, it was endless. But how could these things get here?

 

“I see you've finally decided to join us” a voice said from behind her.

 

Kagome quickly spun around to see Akira standing behind her. She backed up holding Rin tightly as it all came to her. It was Akira that brought these things here. Everything made sense now, Akira could come between times, that explains how they broke Sesshoumaru's castle walls, he could bring anything he wanted over.

 

“Do you like my little collection of things?” Akira moved forward, backing Kagome into a desk.

 

“You…” Kagome put a hand on the desk then looked down when her hand hit something. When she looked down she froze at what she saw, Rin looked at the desk then Kagome, a confused look on her face. “G… guns…” Kagome said quietly.

 

“Ah yes” Akira reached over and picked one up “There is no defense against guns in this time. Not even a demon could dodge a bullet” he laughed, causing Rin to burry her head in Kagome's shoulder.

 

“You wouldn't” Kagome said Horsley.

 

“Oh, I believe her would.” Another voice came from behind her

 

Kagome jumped and quickly turned around, startling Rin. There, now standing in front of her stood Naraku. Rin whimpered and tried to hide, clinging to Kagome. Kagome backed away, a terrified look in her eyes.

 

Naraku smirked “It seems that she doesn't like me.”

 

“That's alright” Akira said “She doesn't like me either” he moved behind Kagome and wrapped his arms around, as well as Rin.

 

Kagome stiffened and Rin whimpered, both of her worst enemies where standing right by her, acting as if it was an everyday thing.

 

“But don't worry” Naraku smirked “You'll get used to me; we'll be seeing each other often.”

 

“W…what…” Kagome tried to speak but nothing would come out.

 

“Oh yes” Akira said and rested his head on her shoulder “I forgot to tell you our little plan” he moved a hand to play with Rin's hair causing her to whimper again. “Naraku is going to become the new Lord of the Western Lands and you and I will stay here.”

 

Kagome gasped causing both Naraku and Akira to laugh. That meant Sesshoumaru was in trouble. They had planned this; they knew that sooner or later Sesshoumaru would come after them.

 

“Yes” Naraku smirked “Akira here is going to kill the old Lord so I can absorb him and become stronger, then I will take control of his land.”

 

Kagome began to shake. They were going to kill Sesshoumaru. She couldn't let that happen, she had to do something… but what? What could she possibly do to stop them? “Please…” she whispered “Please don't hurt him.”

 

The two looked at her and Akira shifted his grip around her and Rin “Now why wouldn't we?” Akira asked.

 

“I'll… do anything you want” was Kagome's quiet answer.

 

“Well” Akira said “You were going to do that anyways.”

 

“I won't fight you” Kagome said.

 

“But the fighting makes it more enjoyable” Akira moved and licked the shell of her ear “Now” his grip tightened around her “Let the child down.”

 

Kagome's eyes widened. She couldn't let go of Rin, there was no way. “No” she shook her head.

 

“No?” Naraku smirked “I don't think he gave you the option of choosing.”

 

Holding Rin tightly Kagome tried to move but failed, Akira's grip was too tight and he was too strong for her to fight. “I'm not letting her go.”

 

“I'm afraid that you don't have a choice” Akira said “Sesshoumaru will be her soon.”

 

Naraku looked up for a moment “He's already in the castle, It will take him a while to find this place” he walked around the desk to stand in front of Kagome.

 

Without a word Akira quickly grabbed Kagome's wrists and pulled her arms from Rin. Kagome gasped and Rin screamed as she fell from Kagome's arms. Before she hit the floor a pair of arms caught her. Rin opened her eyes to see Naraku and screamed. Naraku laughed as she began struggling.

 

“No!” Kagome began to panic.

 

“One of the cells would be a nice place to put her” Akira chuckled as Kagome began to struggle, fighting to get to Rin.

 

Naraku nodded and headed over to the two cells “He's getting closer” he mentioned “I can smell him.”

 

“Then we better get ready” Akira began moving Kagome across the room.

 

After putting the small child in a cell Naraku walked to the back of the room where he wouldn't be seen. Akira moved close to the tow cells, still holding Kagome as she struggled. Rin ran to the door of the cell and pulled on the bars, crying for Kagome. Kagome struggled against Akira, reaching for Rin.

 

“Stop struggling and behave, or I'll keep my promise with Rin” Akira said, moving away from the cell. Kagome instantly stilled in his arms. She knew he would too, he always kept his promise. “Good” he loosened his grip around her, resting his arms around her waist “He's almost to the door, listen, you can hear him.”

 

Going quiet Kagome strained to hear anything. Faintly she could hear the sound of swords clashing. It was him, Sesshoumaru has come for them. As Rin's crying began to quiet Kagome could hear the sounds of guards screaming. They were at the door; he was so close, just a little further. They just had to wait a little longer, and then they would be saved.

 

Akira waited, a smirk playing on his face. He would be able to have some fun in just a few minutes. Kagome tensed as she heard the smooth flow of footsteps moving down the hall. So close. She felt Akira's grip tighten around her waist and remained quiet. She couldn't do anything that would put Rin in danger. Wordlessly she looked at the end of the hallway and waited.

 

 

Well, that's it and I hope you liked it ^_^ Please R&R
