Chapter 6: Shadows Against A Screen
Kagome was mildly surprised when Sesshoumaru showed back up behind the screen and sat down next to her, picking up the spare set of chopsticks. Her eyes rounded in shock when he plucked a piece of fruit off of the tray for two reasons; one being that there had been fruit and she hadn't even noticed it, and the other reason was that Sesshoumaru was eating with her, though she wasn't sure why that shocked her.
Grabbing a piece of fruit herself, she inched closer to Sesshoumaru until their arms were touching. She couldn't understand why, but she felt better when they were touching. She picked up a piece of melon with her chopsticks and placed it in her mouth, a small drop of juice escaping her mouth and sliding down her chin. Kagome was about to wipe it away when Sesshoumaru's hand under her chin, turning her face towards his, stopped her. She raised her eyes up to his and watched as he lowered his head to hers.
"You're very messy," Sesshoumaru said just before his tongue snaked out of his mouth and licked the juice from her lower lip. He sucked her lip into his mouth and nibbled on it for a moment before he released her lip and chin. He sat back and picked up another piece of fruit like nothing had happened.
Kagome opened her mouth and was about to ask what had just happened between them, but he spoke before she could say anything.
"I want you to stay back here and be quite while the visitors are here, no matter what you hear or what happens," Sesshoumaru said, staring straight ahead. He knew she wouldn't like the idea, but he couldn't have her attacking the person, not just yet. He needed to find out why they were there.
Kagome wanted to protest with what he was telling her to do, but she saw the serious look on his face. She looked at him and was about to ask why he wanted her to stay there, but was interrupted again.
"No matter what. Do you understand?" he asked, looking at her.
Kagome was speechless for a moment at the intensity in his eyes, but shook herself out of her stupor. "I'll stay back here," she said quietly.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "Good. I have to leave you back here now, but I will be sitting right in front of you, so you don't have to worry."
His statement made Kagome worry, even though he said she shouldn't. "Why would I worry?" she asked.
Sesshoumaru shook his head before he placed a quick kiss on her cheek, stood up, and disappeared in front of the screen.
Kagome stood up and was about to run around front and demand that he tell her what he was talking about when she came to a dead stop, not of her own free will. She took a small step back and looked carefully, becoming angry when she saw the glimmer of a barrier in front of her. She was about to try to break through it when she remembered what he had asked of her and the look on his face when he had done so. She reluctantly went back to the large cushion and sat down, comforted only by the fact that she could see his shadow against the screen in front of her.
A few moments later, there came a quick rap against the door before it swung open. Kagome swiveled her eyes in the doors direction to see four shadows through the screen that kept her concealed; two larger ones, and two smaller ones. One of the smaller ones, she knew, had to be Jaken, but as for the other three, she wasn't sure. They were the wrong size to be Sango, Miroku, and Shippou looking for her, which was her first thought. Plus, Kirara would have been with them. And she would not have felt the presence of the Shikon no Tama like she did now.
Jaken led the figures to the opposite end of the table from Sesshoumaru and was dismissed by a wave of Sesshoumaru's hand after the visitors were seated. Now Kagome was left with Sesshoumaru and the three unknowns. They sat there in silence for a few minutes, probably having a staring contest, leaving Kagome to concentrate on the new figures and noticed that two, one of the taller figures and the one remaining shorter person, were standing, one on either side of the third person. She also noticed that they were both female. One, the taller female standing on his right held something that looked like a fan at her side, restlessly flipping it open and then closed. The shorter girl held perfectly still, her hands in front of her and it looked like she might be holding something, though she didn't move a muscle as far as Kagome could see.
Finally, as her attention moved to the third person, Sesshoumspokspoke, leaving her to concentrate on what was being said rather than trying to find out who the mystery guests were. If she could recognize one of their voices, she might be able figure out who it was.
"What business do you have here?" That was, of course, Sesshoumaru.
"I merely came to offer an alliance against Inuyasha. It seems his little miko has disappeared in the last day or two and their power is now considerably weakened. Now would be the perfect time to attack." Kagome nearly gasped, the only thing keeping her quiet was her promise to Sesshoumaru that she would remain quiet. But, that sounded like Naraku. But he had disappeared; they couldn't find him anywhere. Not even Kouga and his wolves had been able to track the evil hanyou down, and now he showed up in Sesshoumaru's castle.
But if Naraku was there, that meant the other two had to be Kagura and Kanna. That could be a deadly combination for Sesshoumaru.
"What makes you think I would want to make an alliance with you?" Kagome smiled a bit, glad to know that Sesshoumaru's common sense hadn't been overridden by his hatred for his younger half brother.
"I'm sure you could be convinced to help." Kagome couldn't believe it; they would blackmail him into fighting Inuyasha if they had to?
"You do remember how easy it was for me to take that little human girl of yours?" Kagome's eyes widened. That was Kagura. They wouldn't do anything like that again, would they?
"And you should be grateful you are still alive."
"Yet you let us into your home." Kagome couldn't believe how bold Naraku was being. Kagome heard the slight growl that Sesshoumaru let slip before he got his emotions in check again. Apparently, that statement had ticked him off, as well.
Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru's shadow blurred before her and suddenly appeared by where Kanna had been standing. Only, Kanna was no longer standing there. She was lying on the ground, her mirror no longer clutched to her chest, but on the floor.
Kagome averted her eyes, not wanting to watch even the shadows of what was happening. She heard Naraku laugh and then heard his laugh be cut off in a gurgled cry of pain. That sound, too, ended abruptly after Kagome felt a blast of energy come from the main room. A sound that she didn't want to identify, though it sounded like a sword being pulled from flesh, came before the sound of something heavy yet soft being dropped to the floor.
