Chapter Nine

Kagome had to regrow that finger to stop the blood and pain, it bleed so much that the red and white kimono looked blood red. Kagome had been moved one night as she rested into a room that was completely black if she was still human she wouldn't see anything at all, and as a youkai she could barely see.

Sugimi was beside himself with worry it's only been one night not even a full day since Kagome was taken. He sat in his study looking over the old scout reports hoping he could find a sign if any that someone was coming for Kagome, but all he found was someone planning on killing him not kidnapping his mate to be.

“Milord one of the search parties have returned”
“any news of Kagome?”
“Iie milord, perhaps the other search parties will have better luck”

Sugimi dismissed the servant with a wave of his hand, he returned to the reports from the scouts. His advisers have tried to get him to go out with the scouts, Sugimi took the advice, but only to a point.

To pass her time Kagome would think of games that the children in her time would play it helped a little. Kagome would also think of what happened the day she ended up with Sugimi. 'I hope that Inuyasha is safe'.

Back with the group many times Sango had to save Inuyasha from Naraku's youkai. Sesshomaru hasn't shown up either not since the first time by which they were thankful for neither Sango or Miroku can take on Sesshomaru and hope to win.

They stayed with Keade and continued to give their aid to the village while keeping their ears open in case Naraku would try and kill Inuyasha or if any jewel shards are about. Miroku's traveling hand has stopped making it's normal trip down the female forum since Kagome disappeared, Sango has gotten thiner due to the extra fighting and lack of food, because of Kagome's disappearing act Sango has only eaten two bite of food at every meal.

Sesshomaru spent his time training with tetusaiga and learning why he can now hold and weld the tetusaiga.

Night had fallen on the worried lord, yet he continues to sit in his study reading over the scrolls. He couldn't stop thinking of Kagome and how it felt to think of her as his mate and the mother of his heir. 'Kami when i find her she will become my mate and i will never wish for more then what she gives me' Sugimi thought

Kagome had ended up falling into a light slumber, but was woken up due to her cell door opened with the rising of the sun. Kagome couldn't see who it was, the sun was rising behind only giving Kagome a shadow to look upon. The shadow moved closer to Kagome pulling out the same knife the removed her finger.

“now little in we're going to start removing pieces of you one by one”
“w-who are you?” Kagome shuddered
“I'm the future lord of the western lands”
“never Ill kill you myself before that ever happens”
“It's nice to know that you and your mate think alike”

Kagome was momentarily stunned, she wasn't truly sure she understood who he was calling her mate, but then Kagome remembered the day she was taken from Sugimi, she remembered how they thought they were mates; whoever this guy is didn't listen to the healer saying that thy were not mates.

'maybe i can use this to my advantage and hopefully get free' Kagome thought
“mow tell me , Where is your lord?”
“hold it i'm confused, you don't know where my mate is nd you thought asking me whose been locked away in your smelly dungeons were he's t, how am I to know where he's at?”

The one speaking with Kagome took a step back, it would seem to Kagome that who ever had kidnapped her hadn't counted on her being smart enough to out think a lowly henchman. Therefore didn't give any the idea or thought of what to do. He left the room leaving Kagome alone in the dark, Kagome it best to work on the mediation Sugimi had taught her hoping that she might be able to at the least mentally escape this cell she was always locked ip in. it might be to much to hope or that while she was in deep mediation that she could find a new way to contact Sugimi.

He hadn't slept in one week it was now a moonless night which means that
everywhere demons will enter the night of lust, the need to rut mindlessly will take over making rutting the only ting on every demon's mind. Sugimi just hopped that he could find and return Kagome before that time. He wanted to be the one to mate with Kagome on that night not some sick fucker that has kidnapped her just to get back at him.

Night had fallen and Kagome knew without a doubt it was the night of the new moon the night when Inuyasha was human, slowly Kagome stood every part of her ached with pain, it was odd for she's gone all over Japan searching for jewel shards and yet she's sore from staying in one spot.

The door opened once more, but this time Kagome could see who it was that stood between her and Sugimi. It was odd to him this way his hair wasn't wavy, and shinny nor as long, his eyes weren't blood red and full of the need to torture all living things in it's place was a fear that Kagome was sure Naraku has never known.

“Onigumo....” Kagome whispered
“I see you know me, to bad it won't be me that will mate you come the great heat. Though I do get the western lands for my own”
“What do you want Onigumo?”
“Oh it's not what I want, but what my boss wants and he wants you and Sugimi out of the way. For now I'm here to give you a new kimono he wants you looking nice when he mates you”
“Never tell your boss I rather die then mate him!”
“oh that might be arranged, but even if you were dead it wouldn't matter to him, he wouldn't care if you were alive of dead you'll still be his mate”
“man this guy in sick, why on earth would you want to serve that guy he's sick”

Onigumo just stood there grinning like some kind of idiot. Kagome was sure the brains that Naraku was known for all came from the youkai that he ends up taking into himself. 'Kami Onigumo is slow very slow' Kagome thought.

“well my lady once the great heat begins you'll will know what my master has planed for your lord”
“how about you go back to your master and tell him to kiss me ass I'll only mate Lord Sugimi if he's got s problem with that his fault not mine!”

Kagome turned away from him hopping that he would take it as a dismissal. Kagome went to a far corner hopping to put some distance between her and Onigumo.

Hiroshi watched Sugimi as he went about the study searching, he could tell that Sugimi truly does love Kagome it was something of a miracle that after all this time Sugimi would end up loving someone. 'maybe it was a good thing I never really pushed a mating' Hiroshi thought

Sugimi knew that his strength was wavering and that he should rest before it came time to rescue Kagome from whom ever kidnapped her. He kept going over everything that might have the answer to this, yet he found nothing at all. 'Kagome I promise I will find you don't give up please' Sugimi thought

“milord the search parties have returned” Hiroshi said entering the study.
“any news?”
“Iie, gomen m'lord”
“Arigato Hiroshi” Sugimi said picking up a thick leather bound book.
“my lord don't you think you should rest?”
“No! Not until my mate is safe”

Hiroshi left Sugimi to read over the book. Sugimi sighed in execution it was taking more out of him to keep from going on a killing rampage. Sugimi opened the book without bothering to pay attention to it until he began to read it.

It happened again I had what my mother calls visions she told me four seasons ago that I might be able to control them, but at fourteen seasons I still can;t I doubt I ever will.
This vision was odd though I saw a young inu female she was the oddest thing ever she didn't speak normal either. The odd thing is I keep having visions of her I even think I saw her as a human once. I find this all odd and close to unnerving , but the wose thing is how I've come to feel about this inu, mother says it's a sign and that the female is my mate, but father tells me differently he tells me to ignore these visions and continue with my traning and find a mate that is real. I can not for I have grown to love the dream inu with all that I am and i have vowed to my mother that I will only mate that inu.

Sugimi
heir to the western lands

Sugimi finished reading shocked that he had a vision of an odd inu he wondered who it was he was seeing until her turned the page and saw a perfect sketch of Kagome and under it read; “The dream inu and my mate”
'so I have always loved Kagome now I need to find her' Sugimi thought

Kagome tried to rest in her cell it wasn't easy seeing that Onigumo was told not to leave her alone anymore. Kagome wondered if his master thought Kagome would kill herself to keep from becoming his mate. Either way Onigumo was freaking Kagome out big time.

“you know my lady you would just agree to the mating now you could get out of here”
“over your dead body!”
“you are a violent one aren't you my lady”

Kagome' answer was a deep angry growl at Onigumo. They sat in silence until Onigumo sat up and began to talk to himself.

“Hai milord” “Iie she hasn't agreed” “milord she hasn't-” “Hai milord”

Kagome was curious as to what was going on with Onigumo he was talking to himself. Kagome sat watching Onigumo closely waiting for him to speak.

“let's go my lady it's time to meet your lord”
