Chapter
2: Lost and Found
He sniffed in the scent that he had
been searching and waiting for. It had
been years since he had smelt it, and it was exactly the same down to the odor
that his brother left on and in her.
He remembered the promise that he
had given, voluntarily, to his brother.
It was during the hanyou’s final
moments when he was himself once more before slipping into the abyss of slumber
that had been granted to him after humans had hunted him down for years. It was surprisingly one of Rin’s descendants
and the old miko’s reincarnation that managed to do it. The arrow still held him now, and it
concealed him from the world as well.
The girl was probably the only one
that would ever be able to free him, but he wouldn’t allow her after the
carnage that he had bestowed upon the world.
Inu Yasha would not be able to handle that burden of knowledge. And, he knew about it.
His brother had taken moments to
succumb to the arrow that held him. He
had looked at Sesshomaru with tears brimming his eyes. He was worried about his mate and his
pup. Inu Yasha explained about the well
and Kagome’s true world. He explained
about her. The knowledge of what set
her apart so firmly awed him.
He had promised to take care of both
her and the pup. It was a promise that
he would keep until his dying breath.
Inu Yasha had begged him to watch
over the pup as it grew and to train the pup and teach the pup about its
heritage. Kagome only knew so much, but
Sesshomaru knew everything as he had lived and witnessed it. He had to be responsible for his own
conscience. He had been unable to calm
the enraged hanyou.
He cautiously approached the scent,
staying as quiet as he could as the scent got stronger. He saw the blue light again, but it wasn’t
the same. It was duller and followed by
a startled gasp then a scream of complete grief and outrage.
“No! No! No, no, no, no. There is no way. No, this is NOT happening.
I gotta try. I have got to see
if I can still get back.”
He heard the thump and the “Omf” as
the miko tried to jump again and get back through the well to where he stood
this exact moment in time only five hundred years ago.
He still wasn’t sure why she had run
like that. He was just following the scent
that he had smelled. He knew when the
wind had carried it in that his hanyou brother had given his mate a pup. He felt a need to see it and make sure it
was real. He also wished to get at the
hanyou once again.
How weak would the grandchild of his
great and terrible father be?
That had been his thought. Considering that she was human and Inu Yasha
was half-human, both had been incredible strong. He had demanded and expected such from his brother, but the girl
surprised him as she always did. She
was an enigma that he had been unable to get over.
He did marvel at all the human race
had accomplished since he had last seen this miko. He had to admit that he had not expected such from them, but that
didn’t change his opinion of humans completely. For the most part, they were still ignorant and weak. He did admire their accomplishments, but he
didn’t much care for their lack of honor that was more present.
He moved quickly into the well house
and looked down, knowingly blocking off her exit. He watched as she looked up at him and then pass out, smoothly
landing on the floor of the well. He jumped
down and picked her up before jumping out of the well in a fluid motion and
then going outside to jump up into her house through her open window.
He looked around the room. It was obvious that nobody was in here too
often. It had a bed in it without
sheets or a blanket. Clothes were
folded and sorted, looking ready for somebody to walk in and pick up what they
needed. The closet held supplies that
she would have needed for the time traveling that she did. It looked as though the place was being
cleaned out.
He jumped when he heard a boy’s
voice.
“Ok
Mom. I’ll go shut the window now while
I remake the bed.” He rolled his eyes
just as he walked through the door to see a tall, white-haired man, standing in
the middle of the room and holding his sister.
There was something eerily familiar about that man.
“What
are you doing in here? Why are you
holding Kagome?” he asked and looked Sesshomaru up and down.
Sesshomaru shook his head, causing
his hair to flutter behind him. He
glared at the boy, taking in his scent.
He and Kagome had to be related.
“I
am Lord Sesshomaru, the great Taiyoukai of the West. I am also Inu Yasha’s older brother. She will no longer be able to pass through the well. She has had a shock and needs to lie down.”
Souta just nodded then began to
throw the sheets and blankets onto the bed faster than any human should have
been able to.
Sesshomaru looked down at the girl
in his arms and watched as her head began to move, and she moaned. Her eyes fluttered open and focused on him.
He looked deep in her eyes for the
first time. He had spent five centuries
looking for her without ever really looking at her except in his memories. Her blue eyes were even a surprise to him
with their sneaky purple flecks that made them look even a more mysterious and
dark blue. What secrets had she hidden
behind those eyes?
He gently leaned her down and tucked
her safely into the bed. He would stay
here with for just a little bit until he was sure that she was fully
recovered. After he was sure it was
safe, he would take her back to his apartment.
Kagome laid there, watching him as
he studied her. What was going on? She had to get back to Inu Yasha. What would he say? Do? What was she going to
do? They had a baby on the way, and she
wanted to be with him.
Tears pricked her eyes before she
drug in a breath deep into her lungs.
She needed to calm down and relax.
She shifted her legs and felt that she still clutched something into her
hand.
She sat up and looked at it. It was the completed Shikon Jewel.
Her shock showed plainly. Sesshomaru leaned forward and sniffed what
she held and looked back up at her.
He knew what she held. It was the same thing that the dead miko had
dropped through the well right after she jumped in to get away from him.
It was also the same jewel that this
miko and his brother along with their friends had searched for pieces of to put
it back together.
Her voice broke through the atmosphere in
the room. “I can’t get back
through. Why…? Why were you chasing me? What did you want?” The tears were most definitely obvious in
her voice, but he couldn’t see any forming in her eyes. She just looked determined and stubborn.
“I
wished to verify what I had smelled from your scent.” His answer left much to be desired.
Her chin tilted up some; her eyes
glared up into his, making her look even more beautifully stubborn. The sparks that were shooting from her eyes
at him made his youkai flare and want to challenge her. It actually didn’t cry for her blood but
rather for her submission.
“What
did you wish to check on that you had to scare me that badly?” Her voice allowed her anger out some.
“That
you were with pup. You will greet your
mother and family then be prepared to leave with me.”
Kagome glared incredulously at the
insane dog demon.
“And,
why would I ever leave with you?”
“Because
I have a promise to your mate to fulfill.”
“Where
is Inu Yasha?”
“His
youkai fought terribly to find you, especially after it realized that it couldn’t
pass through the well.” He knew that he
was really dancing around the answer that she wanted, but he wasn’t ready to
reveal that the hanyou wasn’t dead but wasn’t to be reawakened. It would really only torture her until she
finally gave in and did her best to release him, then he would be tortured by
all he had done. Damn lose-lose situations.
Kagome got up and went down to her
mom. Her arms slipped around her, and
they held each other close. Kagome
explained what had just happened and what was going on. Her last news saw her mother sitting down at
the kitchen table in a daze. Her
amazement that she was to be a grandmother was bittersweet. Inu Yasha had been in her affections ever
since she had seen how dedicated and protective of her daughter he was, and she
was happy that he had taken her as his wife.
Kagome found herself lapping up the
loving pets that her mom was bestowing on her down her back. She caught herself and sat down across from
her mom, determined not to leave with Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru inwardly grinned to
himself about her gumption. It was
rather funny to see such a small creature to think that it was going to win
against him.
He bid farewell to the woman at the
table and the boy who was standing nearby.
His next move was to walk straight
over to the determined miko and pick her up in his arm and carry her out
similarly how somebody would carry an American football or a baby.
Her cry of outrage had him grinning. He liked this defiance just from her, and
that quite surprised him. He knew she
would need her determination to raise her pup.
Well, she was his to take care of and to protect now. He would do just that.
