Chapter 12: Dunderhead

-Courtroom-

“Kagome Damn you! Oi! You hear me?! Don’t you dare bury me alive! I’ll…I’ll come back and haunt you for the rest of my life!” Inuyasha said. Court fell silent. Kagome turned to look at him. Sesshomaru cracked his knuckles. Sango shook her head like she couldn’t believe her ears. These were the moments of desperation? In which any person would say anything to save their ass….literally? He sure sounded childish right now.

-Miroku-

Miroku was troubled as he heard everyone accusing Inuyasha---making and throwing out so many harsh judgments about him and what the verdict should be. Throw acid on him? bury him alive? His lovely lady Sango was uncomfortable as she sat next to him shifting as if she wanted to say or do something, this he could tell. Surely Inuyasha wasn’t as daft enough to actually attack Kagome-sama? Or had he actually done such a thing? The fool. His eyes darted to Inuyasha then towards lady Kagome.

After all she had done for him and after all that they had been through. If Inuyasha actually had…had…(gulp) done something to Kagome could he, Miroku forgive him? Plead for his life? (Sesshomaru looked about ready to kill him) as it looked like. His heart clenched at the thought of it. No…he could never forgive Inuyasha. He should’ve known demon laws---and how severe they were. It didn’t matter if he had lived outside the palace for so long.

Come to think of it, Sesshomaru---down in the dungeons…. he heard Sesshomaru silent at the mention of a possible consort. Why? Had Inuyasha been right at what he said? (Sesshomaru knocked him out so he couldn’t say anymore on the topic) Was that to protect this consort’s identity? He didn’t want anyone to know about her especially Kagome? Really what on earth was going on?

He looked up again to see Inuyasha standing in his ‘defendant box’ and worried that Kagome would sentence him to life in prison or something like exile. It was just like her---being kind with that forgiving heart of hers. Sango was trying to teach her about demons and their unforgiving ways. They knew---demons, that Inuyasha would try anything and everything to get out of whatever prison he was in and try to get at lady Kagome again. Better to ‘dispose’ of him before anything else happened in the future. Baka thought he was going to get away with this? He didn’t think Inuyasha would turn out to be such a dunderhead.

He hadn’t seen much of Kikyo---he would’ve thought she’d be here and threaten to purify whoever thought to hurt Inuyasha? Daichi—the cold-hearted assassin was missing too. Maybe he went on another one of his missions from Sesshomaru. He gulped. He did not want to be on the receiving end of that blade. He did wonder how Sesshomaru picked him. Maybe assassination ran in Daichi’s family?

An unforgivable crime was committed—which was not one to be taken lightly. Lady Kagome still had a lot to go through when this Inuyasha incident was over. Humans always had a tough time in demon court. No doubt ladies of court and many others were planning on how to ‘fall’ the new western lady without getting caught, look bad and stay in Sesshomaru’s good graces. A chill had arose in the air due to the weather and Sango shivered. He wrapped an arm around her to keep her warm. She nodded in thanks. He thought why court would be in session at such a time.

Kagome and Sesshomaru---the both a striking couple, powerful, respected and formidable when pushed to far---no one asked, no one really knew how the two, Sesshomaru and Kagome got together now did they? Perhaps it was better now to stay silent and watch things unfold.

-Sesshomaru and Kagome-

“Kagome…” Inuyasha said voice nothing but a whisper. He sat back in his defendant stall. He didn’t like her look. What had he done? Where had his brain been? She would hate him forever Wouldn’t she? Still….He saw Kagome first and Sesshomaru never liked her to begin with! How things changed….he was still a fucking bastard and he, Inuyasha would always try to have a ‘go’ at Kagome. He kept silent, fist tightened about all this as he heard Kagome speak.

“Everyone has their limits Inuyasha but when you push someone too far well…” Kagome trailed off turning to look at Sesshomaru curiously. He had turned around and was looking towards the double doors of the room. What…why had he… “Sessh…” Kagome started.

(BOOM!)

(BOOM!)

Yells from outside and running footsteps…something about a fire in the eastern wing…

Shouts of ‘Milord’ and ‘Sesshomaru-sama’ coming from male voices…

Shouts of ‘Archers at the ready’ and ‘call the Royal guard as well as the Police’

Screams from palace maids and ladies-in-waiting….

Confusion and chaos in the courtroom….

A loud gong sounded in the castle….

It was the sound of war……

It seemed as though this interrogation would have to be postponed. Something was happening in the palace or outside it seemed. Kagome’s face turned white and Sesshomaru told her not to worry so, he’d take her and Sango to safety. She shook her head and said she didn’t know where her children, Rin and Shippo were. She wanted them with her….and not facing danger should any enemy make it to the palace.

“My pups…where are my pups?” Kagome said in a frantic voice, not budging as Sango tried to take her outside and somewhere to safety.

“Kagome we have to get you out of here first.” Sango said pulling at Kagome. Damn but did she have to be stubborn now? She was like a brick wall! “….Kagome-chan….” Sango said as she saw demons make their way out as Sesshomaru started giving out orders.

-Western borders-

Daichi was leaning against a tree, arms crossed—a look of sheer boredom coming from him. Haru stood next to him gritting his teeth. They were watching warriors of other lands approach them. “They’re almost here.” Haru said.

“Indeed.” Daichi said.

“So which one do you want to take out first? We shouldn’t let Sesshomaru-sama have all the fun.” Haru said.

Daichi smirked and said, “Humans just don’t know when to quit. This should prove to be entertaining. It is the what? Third time now. Third time’s a charm as they say.”
