Ch.5
Previously in The Special Forces:
Kagome straitened her posture, under the watchful eyes of everyone present. Holding her shoulders back and her head up, her eyes stayed locked on the captains’ as she answered. “I’m here sir, because my team was sold out to an enemy by someone that has a lot of power or clout in our government.”
________________________________________________________________________
In the present:
The night she had come to them, she had made a very similar remark, though half the beings present now, had not been there then. There were a few gasps fallowed closely by feelings of outrage and / or disbelief from some of the individuals seated at the long table. No one spoke for a lengthy amount of time. Confusion flared brightly in Kagomes mind from some of those around her. Others felt more passive in their emotions. Kagome resisted the intense urge to peek at her escort.
She didn’t however, resist rubbing her temple with an unsteady hand once more. To many emotions mauling her at once, making her feel like someone was taking a power drill to her cranium. The hair at the nap of her neck was slick with perspiration and her throat was becoming tighter by the second. Would she pass out from the oxygen deprivation? Probably not, she wasn’t that lucky.
Suddenly raised voices were heard throughout the room, almost everyone speaking at once. Kagome tried to hide the cringe that appeared on her face as best as she could.
Commanding officer Toshio raised his right hand, making the clamoring voices of just moments before, vanish as quickly as they had begun. Kagome was slightly thankful to the detached man, though she would have been even more so, had he been capable of turning off the emotions instead, just as the shorter, darker man could. Gods she truly envied that ability.
It took a few seconds, but eventually Toshio spoke, his voice measured and controlled. His emotions were almost the same, yet instead of being measured and controlled, they were more . . . Dull and restricted then anything. “You believe you were sold out by our government. Those are some very high charges indeed. On what grounds do you believe this to be so?”
Kagome figured something like this would happen, though, that didn’t lessen her annoyance even remotely. She grit her teeth, bearing down on her jaw with a solid force. ‘Pompous son of a . . . what does he think I caused this damage to myself?’ she took a deep breath, trying to calm the raging tornado of feelings engulfing her. The breathing exercises never worked, yet she always tried it just the same.
Then she spoke, clinched teeth not hindering her in the slightest. “My grounds for this knowledge sir, is this; I am but one on a team with eight other beings. As it stands, I am the only surviving member of that team.” Kagome unclenched her jaw, yet her hands stayed in a fisted position, blood barely starting to stain the sterile strips of tape in between her fingers that covered the cuts there, she couldn’t feel the sting of her wounds over the sensations her memories were producing just then. -Anger, embarrassment, torment- yet the most shattering one, to her, had been the fear. Hers and her comrades.
The conversation was taking its toll on her, what with her own emotions on top of everyone else’s . . . Sango’s’ silent mourning and ire being a prime example. Her voice was snide with the next set of words that slid off her tongue like a bad taste “I watched as my . . . commanding officer sold out his own people with a smile on his sick face, then had his brains blown out.” Hell the man had even made sure to send her in first. Traitorous Bastard.
Kagomes voice became devoid of all the emotions she was feeling, when she spoke her next sentence. “My team was one of the best. What’s to keep them from infiltrating yours if they haven‘t already?”
“If that is the case as you would have us believe, and your senior officer had his “brains blown out” as you so eloquently put it, shouldn’t that take care of the . . . traitors you speak of?”
Kagome shrugged her shoulders in a deceptively calm method, her voice once again a bland drawl. “They talked before the whole “Brains being blown out” incident. I overheard some of it. And from the bits and pieces . . . ” she could not keep the flashing imagery of splattered gray matter and broken bone fragments from her mind after saying that. ‘oh gods, Kohaku. . .’ Swallowing the bile that crept up the back of her throat, she continued. “From the talk I did pick up while there, I would have to say the cancer has spread higher up the chains of command then anyone would ever think possible.” Kagome stared at Sango’s team leader, trying to convey the importance of listening to her with her eyes alone.
He in-turn appeared to think on it for a moment. Kagome could feel the groups leader dimly threw the rest of the assemblage and herself -with the exception of the short man who still seemed to be sending out nothing but an echo of feelings . . . somehow-, muted anxiety on top of mistrust. If she were to make a guess, she would say the commanding officer was weighing his options. ‘Good’.
“I will inform my superiors of the events you speak of, until then you will stay here. For your own . . . Protection . . . of-course.”
Kagome understood completely. He didn’t trust her in the least. That was acceptable, because frankly, the feelings were entirely mutual, in more ways then one. She nodded her head just the slightest bit, however, the pain in her head from just that little bit of movement alone felt like she had just returned from a whole night of head banging at a heavy-metal concert instead. “of-course” she said aloud.
“Who is your superior now that your commanding officer is dead privet?”
Kagome snorted under her breath before answering. Hopefully this fiasco would be over soon. “Colonel Kaede sir. And just so you know, I’m not a privet . . . My ranks’ are, First Lieutenant and Specialist.” Kagome took great satisfaction in the surprise she felt radiating off the others in the room, especially the captain, even if it didn’t show on his face. She knew she looked too young to hold either off those positions, hell by all rights she was too young. . . Nevertheless, she was different, and her upbringing was undeniably out of the norm.
“Hmm. Everyone dismissed.” the captain said with a casual flick of the wrist.
Kagome slipped out the door before anyone else could even think to stop her for . . . Questions or any other such thing. She needed fresh air. Lots of fresh air! Her head felt like it was going to explode, or at least split wide open. And her stomach . . . Oh gods! She could feel the saliva gathering in her mouth, telling her to go somewhere privet so she could get sick without anyone seeing her weakness.
She stumbled threw a set of large doors at the end of the corridor, hoping this way would lead her once more into the outside world. Maybe, just maybe, she could make it to the tree line before becoming sick.
The gods must have been with her on this day, because as it turns out, she picked the right doors. Kagome bolted for the trees just in sight, her vision becoming tunnel like, then blurring around the edges. White-hot pain lancing threw her skull more and more with each painful footfall.
One second she was running for the trees in sight, and then in the next, strong arms had wrapped themselves around her and her nose was crammed up against a very hard, well-defined chest.
“Didn’t you hear what Sesshoumaru said girl? You’re not to leave.”
‘Who‘s Sesshoumaru?’ However, she never got the chance to ask . . . because she was far too busy throwing up on the person who had caught her up against his chest.
A/N: Sorry all, for not updating in so long, But writing has taken a back seat for the last few months. Honestly, I cannot promise that It will get better any time soon either, But I will try my hardest.
I hope you all liked this chapter, I had a lot of fun writing it, ^_^ hopefully the next one will be just as fun.
