"Yes mistress. No mistress. Can I get that for you mistress?" She yelled at her mate of a year. "Your a over pompous ass who needs to let those poor girls go!"
"Mate..." He said tiredly. She completely ignored him.
"And may I ask WHY they are all girls Shesshomaru?" She continued to rant.
After a minute of not getting an answer and hearing the scratching of his pen on the paper, She turned and looked at him with her hands on her hips.
"Well?" She said impatiently.
"I acquired those girls because their families were in debt to me." He said cooly.
"What more could you need Shesshomaru?" Kagome growled at him. "You have a family, A mansion, AND all the finest things the world could offer..."
He slammed his hand down on the desk and it startled her out of her rant.
" You WILL desist of this nattering you insufferable wench!" He snarled at her. " Do you understand me?"
This tone was familiar to her now. This was how he spoke to her. Like she was just some annoyance in his life that he wanted to get rid of.
"Sessho... I..." She wanted to tell him how she felt but he shuts her down before she can get anything out. So she thought it better to keep her thoughts to herself.
She remembered when he used to want to be with her... To be around her.
-Flashback-
"Sessho!" She screeched out in pure joy. "Stop doing that! Im gonna PEE!"
The word pee was greatly emphasized. Sesshomaru stopped tickling his little intended and kissed her nose.
He tugged her into his lap and stroked her hair.
"Kagome... I love you..." He whispered into her hair.
This was the first time he uttered the words. She was shocked beyond words.
"Sesshomaru... Are you feeling ok?" She asked worried. "First the tickling now this.?"
"Im fine love..." He smiled. "I just want to be with you and only you for the rest of my life."
He grabbed her roaming hands gently in his and kissed her palm.
"Will you mate me?" He asked simply studying her face.
Kagome bit her lower lip and was thinking about it. After 5 minutes she looked him dead in the face and asked
"Are you sure?"
He nodded happily and kissed each one of her fingertips.
"I cant think of anyone that I would rather spend the rest of my life with.." He said smoothly.
"Then Yes..."
-End Flashback-
Just thinking of that scene in the meadow made her heart hurt. Sesshomaru never acted like that towards her anymore. She studied his angry demonic face which he had aiming at her. She wanted desprately to ask him what she did wrong but she stopped herself.
'Hes totally changed toward me...' The thought made her heart get a whole new wave of pain to go through it. Then she began to remember what made him like that towards her.
-Flashback-
Kagome sat in the master bathroom puking.
"Mistress are you alright?" Her personal maid Lilith asked.
"Yes Lilith. Just a little woozy thats all." She responded weakly from the floor. "Can you go get my yellow bag?"
"Yes mistress." The maid answered softly. "I will be right back."
Lilith left and came back in 2 minutes later with the item Kagome wanted.
She handed her mistress the bag and Kagome hurridly dug her hand in it. She withdrew the product that she was looking for. She opened the package, peed on the stick, And waited 2 minutes for the result. She then picked up the stick. Peeking at it quickly her face split into a grin.
"Where is Sesshomaru?" She asked excitedly.
"In his study mam... He asked to not be distur..." Lilith was cut off by her mistress running past her quickly.
Kagome was running full speed past everybody until she reached Sesshomarus study. She burst through the doors smiling.
"Mate." He said reproachfully. "We talked about this."
The answer that he got was when she dove onto his lap and smiled.
"Im pregnant!"
His smile faded.
"Thats great love. Is that all?"
-End flashback-
"Is there something you need to say?" He snipped coldly. "Because if not, can you get out. I have work to do."
"I... No." Kagome felt the pressure on the back of her eyes. "Are you going to come to bed tonight?"
"I dont know Kagome. Is that all?" His anger was growing still.
When she walked forward to kiss him he snapped his K9s at her and growled menacingly.
This was almost the equivalent of him hitting her.
"Im sorry..." She said quietly and a tear slipped from her eye and she turned around with her usually proud shoulders hunched and her head down. "Goodnight..."
Kagome walked slowly and sadly back to the bedroom. She crawled into bed and turned off the light. A few hours of tossing and turning she got up and walked over to their balcony and looked up at the stars.
"What did I do to deserve this treatment?" She whispered to the starts sadly.
Her head dropped and she felt her tears start to tumble down her face. She began to sob but she thought she heard him coming so she dove into bed and it was simply the maid.
"Do you need anything mistress?" Lilith called through the door.
"No..." Kagome called back. The pain in her voice lingered in her own ears causing her to cringe.
15 minutes later she finally calmed down and she fell into a severly light sleep. 2 hours after that she heard the door open and Sesshomaru sigh. She heard him strip his armor and climb into bed behind her. He held her and kissed her shoulder.
"Im sorry mate." He said tiredly. "I really am..."
She nodded her head sleepily.
"I have to go on a ..." She heard him coming up with another excuse. "Business trip tomorrow..."
"How long?" She said playing it off like she didnt hear that 3-second-excuse pause.
"3 days." He said. "Its for the northern kingdoms ball. Then we have to discuss the terms of the treaty."
Kagome nodded and as he slipped into a deep sleep she started to cry.
'Just tell me you dont love me anymore.
