Summary: During their capture, Kagome finally gets an opportunity to ask about Sesshoumaru's plan.
Previous Chapter
When Kagome could be sure that the imp was truly asleep, she took a deep breath and cooled her rising temper. She turned to Sesshoumaru and glared at him, knowing full well she couldn’t keep back the anger at all. She still managed to keep her voice down to not alert the driver, but it was difficult, and after all they had been through, she really wanted to yell. Loudly.
Instead, her words came at him in a sharp hiss. “What do you think you’re doing?”
He turned away from her angry gaze for a moment and she watched as he lifted his chin higher, as if he was even above bringing her into his plans.
“Come on, Sesshoumaru, you brought me into this, we’re obviously kidnapped and so is Inuyasha, so you better fill me in so I can help,” she demanded.
“Very well. If you haven’t figured it out already, I wanted us to get captured by the fire youkai,” Sesshoumaru explained.
“Really? No way!” Kagome said sarcastically. Sesshoumaru shot her a bored look.
“With this particular foe, it is more advantageous to let him think he has the upper hand. He brings us into his realm and castle without struggle, and we are that much closer to obtaining the stolen dragon.”
Kagome admitted that made sense, but there were too many unknowns with his plan.
“That’s great, but you forgot that we are bound by this dark miko energy. If this imp character is right, this Asobibi guy has a really powerful miko that could pose trouble for us. I mean, even you are bound by her restraints.”
Sesshoumaru shifted in his seat. Kagome sore she saw his hair toss back in one prissy motion of his head. How does he even do that tied up? She wondered. She supposed Sesshoumaru’s vanity powers knew no bounds.
“I could get out of these restraints in due time if I wanted to, but that wouldn’t get us in the realm if I struggled, as I mentioned. Please try to keep up, human,” he said, and he met her eyes with a cool intensity. “I have no worries when it comes to the dark miko. I chose you for a reason, miko. You are not just my brother’s mate. You are the miko that helped take down Naraku, as I recall. Did I err in choosing you for this quest?”
Kagome huffed at him. “Fine, but you don’t have to be a jerk about it. Plus, you should have told me this plan from the beginning. How am I supposed to help you get this dragon back if you don’t tell me the full plan?”
Sesshoumaru leaned back against the wall of the cart and looked forward, seemingly content to wait out the rest of their capture. “If I would have told you, miko, your reaction to the kidnapping would not have been as convincing to our captors.”
Kagome narrowed her eyes at him. She hated when he was right.
