Why Are You At War With You

Chapter 7: Gone Again

A few hours after the previous incident found the lords, humans and demons, gathered around a table. The humans choosing to stay as far from the twins as possible. After the previous discussion, Lord Inu no Taisho decided it would be smarter if the twins were to lead the discussion due to the information they held. Due to this decision, there was tension very thick in the room.

Sasuke stood beside Sesshomaru around the table while Kagome stood slightly behind Sasuke. Every once in a while, a few of the once children who know Sesshomaru well, saw his eyes flicker towards the mysterious girl.

"As Kagome had showed you before, your enemies are ready for battle. They are simply waiting for the moment. This is a moment you must not give them." Sasuke said this while looking around the room. "There is no doubt in my mind that one of these people in this very room is a traitor to you, Mi'lord." When he said this he looked towards Lord Inu no Taisho "...If you wish...Kagome can find him. None in this room are not within the reach of her mind.."

Everyone could visibly see Lord Inu no Taisho's eyes widen in surprise. "She can read minds?" Kagome nods then Sasuke says "She says 'I can also speak through them'" "So then why do you not speak directly to me?" "'Because'" Kagome's cheeks puff out before everyone hears a childish female voice familiar to only 2 in the room. 'It is annoying to do so.' With that said she tilts her head and rolls her eyes at the reactions from everyone in the room which ranged from scared to confused to down right frightened.

"'Continue?' She says...I agree..Let's not waste any more time than we have." Sasuke says as he points to a place on the map. "That is where they camp." While Sasuke continued to describe the camp and what the enemy had in their possession, Lord Inuno Taisho, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha were being informed of other things by Kagome.

'A little to the east of where Sasuke pointed is the location of the camp. We are doing this a precautionary measures and as a way to weed out the traitor. We have reason to believe he is a perfectionist and will probably attempt to correct Sasuke in the location.'

No faster then she gave the youkai this knowledge, that a youkai lord from closer to the east border of the lands spoke up. "Are you certain on the location? How do we know this is not false information and you two are the real traitors and a trap is waiting there?" "Because our lord pays more." Inu no Taisho nodded before saying clearly "Arrest him." The guards didn't hesitate in removing him from the room.

"That was easier than expected." Sasuke commented. Kagome nodded in agreement before looking at Sasuke expectantly then pointing out a window at the sky. Sasuke followed her finger and blinked several times as if trying to figure out what she was trying to say before realization dawned on him. His mouth formed an "o" shape before he looked at Inu no Taisho.

"I apologize Mi'lord but we must cut this short. It is almost time for us to take our leave." He set a small book down on the table before turning to bow to Lord Inu no Taisho and his children while Kagome got their cloaks before joining Sasuke's side. "That book holds all the information we have gathered. We wish you luck on your war." Sasuke accepted his cloak from Kagome and they both threw them back on.

A childish voice echoed through the heads of those around them and the guards as well 'I would also work on your guards as well Mi'lord. We got in here relatively easily.' Kagome said with a teasing hint to it. "You won't help us in this war?" Inu no Taisho asks curiously. "We have helped you in this war. You have the upper hand now. Use it well." Sasuke answered seriously "However we will not be involved in a petty war."

Inu no Taisho nodded, understanding Sasuke. "Well at least drop by every once in a while to see if I have anything you could help with." Sasuke nodded followed by a nod from Kagome. Kagome waved at everyone in a childlike manner before pulling the hood over her head and moving to leave the way the entered. Sasuke followed also pulling his hood over his head.

Once again they were stopped by a prince. "Wait." When the two looked back at the prince who spoke, Kagome's head tilted curiously, "You have to surprise the fluffy asshole again someday. His expression was simply hilarious." Everyone shot shocked looks towards the second prince. Kagome nodded before the three royals heard simply 'Once one's path has been intertwined with another's, meeting again will be inevitable.'

Then just as before when Sesshomaru was a child, the two disappeared to god knows where. Under his breath, only Inu no Taisho and Inuyasha could hear him, Sesshomaru muttered, "Until then."

Lord Inu no Taisho looked at his eldest in amusement, "If I didn't know better...I'd say you are looking forward to your next encounter." "This Sesshomaru knows not of what you speak of, Father. Shall we continue the meeting?" Lord Inu no Taisho chuckled before nodding and continuing the meeting.

Outside somewhere in the forest

"......You like the prince?" Sasuke asked simply the question quite direct and to the point. Kagome face heated up brightly then she shook her head quickly. 'They both intrigue me. The elder one more so then the youngest.' Sasuke nods. "So you do like him." This time it wasn't a question but rather a statement. 'No!' Was shouted into his mind by the childish voice of his sister while physically she had begun pouting and refused to acknowledge him. "See now you're just being childish." His comment was ignored by the girl as they continued their journey to some unknown place simply to find another person to contract with. Who knows how long until another meeting with the princes happens.
