(A/N :) Konnichiwa! I'm Emerald Maiden and here's my new story! Please be kind; this is my first real attempt at a SessxKag story. Honestly, I'm very frightened of you all…Kidding! But seriously, critisim is appreciated in small doses. Some of us need to sleep at night, you know! J/K! ( I wonder how you'll take me seriously if I keep joking like this!) Well, I'm a very twisted writer, so expect anything. I also love to please, so give me some ideas 'cause I could use them!
Disclaimer : I don't own Sess-kun, Kagome-chan or any other character in this story… Exept the extra people that aren't in the anime or manga. Okay? Good.
Chapter 1: The Truth Hurts
"No,"
"Yes,"
"No,"
"Yes,"
"No,"
Miyuki sighed as her Mistress and friend refused to get out of bed. It was a beautiful morning in Sengoku Jidai, and Miyuki was to help dress and prepare her Mistress for her formal lunch with her family and the family of the Great Western lord, Inutaisho, that would take place in a few hours at the Western castle, also known as the West Peak. But that lunch could be completely jeopardized if her Mistress continued to refuse to wake up.
"Yes, please?" she asked, hoping to break her Mistress' resolve to sleep in.
"Um…No," was all she got.
Miyuki rolled her eyes. Her Mistress could be so childish sometimes. " But, Lady Kagome you have to wake up or else Lady Nanami will be very upset with me," Miyuki added wearily. She ran her fingers through her light brown hair. Kagome peeked through her silk sheets. That got her attention! "Well, I wouldn't want you to get in trouble…" she said, rising from her silk cocoon. Out came a breathtakingly gorgeous girl whose hair was a bit disheveled but it only made her look more natural. Her bright blue eyes gleamed as she seemed to emit light. Yes, Kagome was a heck of a sight.
She nodded and smiled, "Thank you, my Lady." She helped Kagome off her futon and quickly changed the sheets, as Kagome began to undress to take her bath. Once she was done, Miyuki helped finish Kagome undress and led her to the bathroom, sliding the door open for her and closing it behind her once they were in. Kagome stepped into the bath, which was more like a pool. Miyuki poured in some scalding hot water from a large jug and Kagome sighed contently as the water began to feel a lot better than it did before. "Is that better?" Miyuki asked. Kagome nodded in response. "Good," Miyuki said, walking over to Kagome with a brush and a cloth. "Bend over a little, please," she said, scrubbing Kagome's back thoroughly and passing a soft cloth over it afterwards. She handed the cloth to Kagome to do the rest.
She then grabbed a bowl filled with a glaze mixture; it was a mix of water, tree sap, crushed pine needles and sakura blossoms. "Oh, Miyuki, that smells heavenly!" Kagome said, beaming at her servant. Miyuki smiled back. "I added some sakura blossoms because I know you love them so much," she replied, pouring the substance into her hands. She rubbed her hands together and began to gently massage it into Kagome's hair. "I'll put it in, but you have to rinse…Or do you want me to pour in some water for you?"
Kagome slightly shook her head. "No, I'll rinse it myself. It's okay."
Miyuki nodded. She finished mixing it in and rinsed her hands in the water as Kagome immersed herself completely into the bath, washing the mixture out. Miyuki left the bathroom to get Kagome her towels. She came back with four towels and handed Kagome one of them. The raven-haired girl stepped out of the bath and wrapped the towel around her lithe body. She stood on one of the towels Miyuki had laid onto the bathroom's wooden floor while she took another one of the towels and dried her arms and legs with it. Miyuki had the fourth towel and was gently drying Kagome's hair. She then wrapped the towel around Kagome's head and left to prepare Kagome's clothing for the lunch.
With her body nice and dry, Kagome headed towards the bathroom door, but before she could open it, Miyuki opened it for her. After letting her walk through the door, Miyuki went in and took the towels she had left there. She walked back out, closing the door behind her and helped Kagome into her kimono; it was a white kimono with pink designs of vines and flowers on it and the obi was a vivid red. Kagome held her arms out while Miyuki wrapped the long sash around her. She handed Kagome a pair of white socks for her to put on. She had tied the kimono more like a yukata, so Kagome could sit more comfortably. (A/N: Honestly, it's very difficult to walk and sit in a kimono; there a various steps to put the robe on. Imagine what the obi is like. You wear one rope-like sash, two more belts, I think, and the actual obi, which is this insanely long sash. I figure it's very uncomfortable and it's heavy. So, Kagome is very lucky Miyuki doesn't go through all that to put on her kimono. )
While Kagome put her socks on, Miyuki removed the towel wrapped around her head and began to comb her hair. She gave Kagome a very pretty hair style. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail with various red clips slipped into place with two sections at the front that fell loosely around her face. Some of it was clipped up which gave it a very serene look. Miyuki handed Kagome the small mirror. "How is it?" she asked, putting the comb away. Kagome smiled happily. "It's amazing! I love it!" Miyuki smiled at her Mistress, but was caught completely off guard by her hug. "Arigato, Miyuki-chan."
Miyuki hugged her back. When they pulled away, they were both laughing. "So, let's do the make-up," Miyuki said. She opened a small wooden chest and pulled out different lipstick colors. "Which color would you like, my Lady?" she asked. Kagome pondered on this for a moment. "Um…The red looks lovely…Especially the wine-colored one, but I'll wear the light pink one today."
Her servant only nodded, applying the rosy color to her lips. When she was done, she backed away from Kagome to get a better look; she was even prettier than she was before. Kagome never liked wearing a lot of make-up since it made people look like dolls, which was fairly disturbing by itself. Then you would realize who the person actually was, and you'd try not to vomit your dinner. (A/N: Sorry for the gross out factor!)
"Well, now we're done." Miyuki said getting up. Kagome did the same. They both headed for the door. "Let's go."
"Where are they? It doesn't take three hours to bathe and dress! Honestly!"
Kikyou paced as she waited for her younger sister, Kaede, and her cousin, Kagome. She and her mother, Lady Nanami, had been waiting for over twenty minutes. If it were up to her, they would have left twenty minutes ago! "Mother, may we please leave? I am tired of waiting for them!" Kikyou fumed. Her mother sighed. Kikyou was never a calm girl, as she would like people to believe. She was a perfectionist and was always on-edge if anything went wrong.
"Kikyou, please calm yourself," her mother instructed. "A lady is always patient and composed, even in the worst situations. You are seventeen years of age, so act like it."
Kikyou immediately stopped pacing. She knew better than to anger her mother. She turned back to the mansion's gates and saw two figures immerge from the doors. "Finally!" she said. She turned and hopped into one of the two carriages that were waiting behind her.
When Kagome and Miyuki reached Lady Nanami, they both bowed in respect. "Ohayogozaimasu, my Lady," they both said in unison. She nodded back. "Kagome, please try to dress yourself a little more quickly next time, alright?" she said softly. Kagome smiled at her. "Hai, I will." she replied. Kagome headed for the carriage that Kikyou had already entered and joined her.
Meanwhile, Miyuki was still with Lady Nanami. "Miyuki, you will come along. You will stay with Kagome at all times, is that clear?" she said strictly. Miyuki bowed gracefully. "Of course, my Lady. As you wish." She bowed again and headed to the carriage. Kagome smiled when she saw her enter. "Miyuki, she let you come?" she asked. Miyuki nodded. They hugged each other tightly. They let go and sat properly on the bench. Miyuki then bowed to Kikyou. "Ohayogozaimasu, Lady Kikyou."
Kikyou gave a nod as she waited for her servant to come join them. Almost magically, the carriage door opened and Kikyou's servant, Rie, entered. "Ohayogozaimasu, Lady Kikyou," Rie said bowing to Kikyou. She then took a seat beside her. Kikyou looked at her intently. When Rie didn't get the message, Kikyou hit her on the head. "Ow!" she said, rubbing the spot where she had been hit. Rie still didn't get it, so Kikyou took her head and hit it on the wall. Rie screamed in pain. "If you don't do it, you'll be eating dirt for a month! Now BOW!" Kikyou ordered. Rie got down on her knees in the space between the benches and bowed to Kagome.
"Ohayogozaimasu, Lady Kagome." she spewed the words like venom. Kagome frowned and looked at Kikyou. Kikyou only shrugged.
Kagome knew Kikyou didn't even like her all that much, but the fact that she had hit her own servant for not bowing to her was enough to make her speechless. She knew why Rie hated bowing to her—it was because Kagome was 15. Rie always wanted to be superior, but she couldn't just ignore those with a higher authority. Still, she resigned herself to greeting Kagome, and even Kaede, in the coldest way possible. She would only truly bow to Kikyou and Lady Nanami since they were older than her ( she was 16).
Everyone was silent on the way to the West Peak, when Kaede and her servant had finally joined them. She was riding in the first carriage with Lady Nanami.
Kagome gazed out at the scenery and caught Kikyou's eye. She mouthed, "Arigato."
Kikyou only nodded.
"No,"
"Yes,"
"No,"
"Yes,"
"No,"
Jaken sighed at his Master's behavior. (A/N: Seem a little familiar? I think so, too!) "Sesshoumaru-sama, this Jaken knows that you do not wish to participate in this, but you cannot, I repeat, YOU CANNOT go against your Father's wishes," the little toad demon bowed as his Master walked right by him. "I know that. I just don't want to go." he said. He was growing more and more impatient as he was losing more and more time.
A knock was then heard on the door. A servant slid open the door and bowed graciously to Sesshoumaru. " My lord, your Father wishes to see you, your brother and the Lady in his study immediately." Sesshoumaru nodded as he followed the servant. She led him to the study and bowed to him, opening the door as she did. He nodded, dismissing her. He entered the study and closed the door behind him. As told by the servant, his younger brother, Inuyasha, his Father, Inutaisho, and the close friend who became family, Tomoko, were all waiting for him. "Sesshoumaru, pleased to see that you could join us," his Father said with a smile on his face. Sesshoumaru sat.
"Alright, you all know the members of the Higurashi clan are coming here for a meal. I and Lady Nanami will discuss the final arrangements for the weddings," he said, looking at Satomi. "Not you, Tomoko, since you are already courting the son of the Northern lord, Hiroyuki-sama."
Tomoko nodded. She was 17 now and was officially courting. She wore his Mate mark on the muscle between her shoulder and her neck—a nearly permanent hickey. She would soon get married and that was the best part of all. She had never been so in love.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha rolled their eyes; she could be so annoying sometimes. It was as if they could even hear her think about him!
"Well, Sesshoumaru you are to be engaged to Lady Kikyou, the eldest sister,"
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Father, must I marry a human? Is that not lowly and degrading?"
Inutaisho cleared his throat, "Are saying that I am lowly and degrading?" Sesshoumaru wanted to avoid this part of their conversation but knew it would eventually come up. He sucked it up.
"Father, you may have wanted to mate with a human, but I do not wish to do so."
The room was silent. It was as if they were all holding their breaths, scared that if they made a sound, they would anger the Western lord. Sesshoumaru looked at his Father who was rubbing his temples. Inutaisho sighed, "Sesshoumaru, please. Just try and make it work. I've seen those girls and they are beautiful beyond belief. Please, I'm asking you this from father to son."
Sesshoumaru sighed. "For now."
Kagome was still daydreaming when the carriage halted to a stop. Kikyou, Rie and Miyuki all began to disembark when Miyuki noticed Kagome was still sitting on the bench, as still as a rock. She gave a small chuckle, "Lady Kikyou, Rie-san, you may leave ahead of us. I'll wake the Lady from her daydream." Kikyou laughed at this as she left the carriage. Miyuki shook Kagome slightly.
"Wha—What?" she stuttered. Miyuki smiled. "Mistress, we have reached our destination." she said, leading Kagome out of the carriage. Kagome froze when she touched the ground. Miyuki whipped her head around to see why—Kagome was staring at the castle in complete awe. It was the most enormous thing she had ever seen in her life! They had seemingly passed through the gates, which were guarded by at least ten guards. The castle walls were completely intact as vines laced up some of them. From where she was, she could see a large garden of flowers on the eastern side of castle, accompanied by a small creek right beside it. The trees surrounding them were very tall but fit the scenery perfectly.
"Wow…This is so…Beautiful." Kagome whispered to herself. Miyuki finally tugged on her hand. Kagome looked at her quizzically. "My Lady, the others are waiting." the young servant said, dragging Kagome to the rest of the family. When the two finally reached them, they were greeted by the Great Western lord himself: Inutaisho.
"Lady Kagome, so nice to finally meet you," he said, politely bowing to her, which was totally unnecessary in her case. "No, the honor is mine," she said, giving a deep bow. He smiled at her, then turned to Lady Nanami. "What charming children you have, my Lady," he said. She bowed to him. "Oh, only Kikyou and Kaede are my children," she told him. He looked at her puzzled. "Kagome is my niece. Her mother, Higurashi Satsuki, died five years ago. I adopted Kagome so than she would not become orphaned, although her brother lives with my father." Nanami told the Western lord. He nodded, "I see. Well then, shall we eat?" He led them through the castle, to the dining room where Sesshoumaru, Tomoko and Inuyasha were already waiting. When they heard the dining room door slide open, they all stood to greet their guests.
'Here come the ningen,' Sesshoumaru thought to himself. He first laid eyes on their mother. 'Typical old woman,'
She took the seat at the end of the table, opposite of their Father. Next he saw Kikyou. She was a very beautiful girl with her long black hair and her brown eyes, but 'She is empty inside, I can tell. Her beauty is only exterior…' She took the seat opposite him as she never took her eyes off him. Then Kaede walked in, taking the seat next to Kikyou. 'A child? Ridiculo—' His thoughts were cut off when he laid eyes on Kagome. She gallantly entered the room, her long raven hair flowing as she did so. Her white, pink and red kimono complimented every curve of her body. But the thing that really startled him was the contrast between her kimono and her bright blue eyes. They were simply mesmerizing. 'And her face is so…Serene and natural, unlike that other one. It looks like if she smiled, her face would crack. Yet, this girl seems to demand attention, without even demanding it…Wait. Why am I, Sesshoumaru, thinking of a ningen this way? Although, she might be worthy of this Sesshoumaru's attention…' Kagome took the last seat, the one in the opposite direction of Inuyasha.
"Lady Nanami, I would like you to meet my children," Inutaisho said.Inuyasha, Tomoko and Sesshoumaru stood and bowed. "Lady Nanami, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Sesshoumaru." he said, sitting back down. Nanami bowed back. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Nanami. I am Tomoko." she said, bowing again, then sitting back down. Lady Nanami smiled at her. "I am Inuyasha. It is nice to meet you, my Lady." he said, bowing. He took his seat. Nanami laughed, "Oh, my lord, you are the one with charming children!" Inutaisho laughed also. "Well, just like you, my Lady, only two of these children are mine," he said. He looked at Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. "You see, Tomoko is a family friend and since her parents died, I've been her caretaker."
Nanami nodded. "I see. Well, your children haven't met mine, so…" she said looking at Kikyou. Kikyou, Kaede and Kagome all rose and bowed. "This is my eldest daughter, Kikyou. She is seventeen years old."
Kikyou bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you all." She said this as she was sitting down. "This is my youngest daughter, Kaede. She is thirteen years old." Kaede did as Kikyou did. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Nanami smiled at Kaede's attempt to be like her sister. "And this is my niece,"
'Niece? They're not mother and daughter? Odd.' Sesshoumaru thought, although he shouldn't have been surprised. Tomoko wasn't family, but you could tell that easily. Him, his Father and his younger brother all had silver hair. She had black hair with two silver streaks at the front. 'They look so much alike,'
"Her name is Kagome. She is fifteen years old." Kagome bowed deeply at them. "It's such a pleasure to finally meet you all!" she said happily. Tomoko laughed at this. "At least one of them seems like they're having a good time!" she said smiling back at Kagome.
"Alright then, let's eat!"
Quietly awakening…
I always, always wish
That these fleeting thoughts would reach you…
Kagome sang to herself as she explored the West Peak's interior. The lunch had been delicious. She had noticed how the looks had been exchange during the whole thing.
Unable to move forward across "just a little more" distance
The way I see before me is always blocked
Every time the days I want to see you but can't pile up
My strong heartbeat turns into heartbreak
Lady Nanami had been looking at Inutaisho and Inutaisho had been looking at her, while Inuyasha had been looking at Kikyou, who had been looking at Sesshoumaru, who had been looking her, who had been looking at him. Meanwhile, Kaede and Tomoko had been sharing smiles the whole time. It was a very weird lunch indeed.
If there is such a thing as "eternity"
I want to believe, even if I have to take the long way
Although I know that I've been hurt before because I'm clumsy
I won't stop; I won't give in to anyone
But she just couldn't get Sesshoumaru out of her head. If guys could be beautiful, he definitely would be. His whole being was absolutely breathtaking to her. She knew that they were here to finalize the wedding engagements and she hoped that she might be engaged to him.
I think of you and that alone is enough
To make the tears star to flow now
I always, always wish
That these fleeting thoughts would reach you…
"Who am I kidding?" she mumbled to herself. "He's probably engaged to Kikyou, not to me." She just sighed as she continued her way through the castle halls. The place was so beautiful. "Nothing like at home," she said. The Higurashi Mansion was a beautiful place to live in, but it just didn't compare to the West Peak. "Here's much more peaceful."
She then stopped and looked around. "Didn't I pass this before?" Well, the worst had finally happened: she was lost. "Shit!" she swore under her breath. 'Okay, Kagome, calm down. Just go back the way you came.'
She turned around and was greeted by the sight of a large demon guard. "What are you doing, little girl?" he said laughing maniacally. "Nobody trespasses on my guarding area! Now you're gonna pay!"
He put both fists in the air, ready to smash them into her skull. 'Well, he definitely doesn't know that the family has company, so I guess I'd better run. But first…' She reached up and poked him in the eyes. He covered his eyes with his hands. "Aargh! My eyes! You little bitch!" he said, trying to hit her with his other hand. She ducked and crawled under his legs. He still had one hand over his eyes, so he didn't realize she had. She turned around and gave him a good kick in the ass, which made him trip and fall flat on his face. "Ack!" he said. She began to run, but the demon had grabbed her ankle and dragged her closer to him. His claws dug deep into her skin and she groaned in pain. He laughed even harder. "Think you can get away? Well, think again!"
He reached higher and let his claws dig into her thigh, ripping the kimono's fabric. "Aah!" she screamed in pain. She kicked him in the face with her wooden sandal. His nose began to bleed and it dripped onto the hem of the silk robe. He immediately let her go as she scrambled to get back up. "Where are you going?" he said. He got to his feet and grabbed her hair, pulling her down once again. He pulled on her hair as she screamed. "Let me go!" she shouted. He pulled harder. "Shut up, wench! I don't take orders from you!"
"But you take orders from me," a voice interrupted.
Both Kagome and the demon looked up to meet amber eyes. Angry amber eyes. "Let her go. Now." The demon immediately dropped her and she landed on her face. "Sesshoumaru-sama…I,um…She…" the demon stuttered. Sesshoumaru gave him a cold glare. "My Father will speak with you," he said. The demon bowed in respect. "It won't be a pleasurable talk. Now get out of my sight."
The demon quickly left the two. Kagome struggled to get up, so Sesshoumaru helped her up. He looked at her intently; her cheek was bruised because of her fall, her hair was completely disheveled, her lipstick was smeared and she had two serious wounds on her thigh and her ankle. Her beautiful silk kimono was completely ruined and her eyes were watery. "Arigato," she whispered, so low that even he had trouble hearing her. She definitely couldn't walk with those wounds, so he picked her up and carried her back to her mother.
They walked together in silence. "Lady Kagome?" he asked, shaking her a little. When he saw that her eyes were closed, he realized that she was only sleeping. 'What has Father gotten me into?'
"Kagome? Kagome, wake up. Kagome?"
Kagome opened her eyes only to meet Kaede's. "Finally! I thought you'd never wake up!" Kagome rose from the futon she had been sleeping on. "Kaede? Where…Am I?" she said. She looked around and saw Inutaisho, Kikyou, Lady Nanami, Inuyasha, Tomoko, Miyuki, Sesshoumaru and Rie, all sitting around her. "Why is everyone just sitting here?" she asked. Her aunt gave her a warm smile. "You don't remember, dear?" she asked softly. "Remember what?"
They all looked at Sesshoumaru. "Son?" his Father said. He looked at Kagome. She just looked at him blankly. "The guard that attacked you. The one that gave you that bruise," he said, pointing at her cheek. She felt it and felt a bandage. She then suddenly remembered, "Oh yeah! The crazed youkai in the hallway!" Sesshoumaru nodded. Lady Nanami spoke up, "Why would he hurt you?" Kagome shrugged. "He said 'Nobody trespasses on my guarding area' and then he attacked me." she said. Inuyasha shook his head. "You were too far in the castle. We didn't tell all the guards that we would be having guests today," he said. "Only the ones near the front door. He had no clue who you were, so he attacked."
"Oh. Oops," she said, smacking her thigh. She then yelped in pain. "Ow, ow! Forgot about that." Kikyou gave out a little laugh. She was accompanied by Tomoko. Then Kaede joined in, followed by Inutaisho. Soon enough, everyone in the room, except Sesshoumaru and Kagome, was laughing. Kagome sighed. 'There is never one day where someone isn't laughing at me!'
When the laughter died down, Inutaisho spoke up, "I think you should all stay for the night. It's not safe for the Lady to travel with such wounds, right Kagome-sama?" She laughed and nodded. "I guess we could spend the night," she said. She turned to Kikyou and Kaede. "Do you have any problem with that, girls?"
The girls shook their heads. "Alright then, it's settled." Inutaisho stood. "We have several empty bedrooms on the third floor, if that's not a problem." Lady Nanami shook her head.
Inutaisho turned to Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, "Sesshoumaru, please carry Lady Kagome to her room and Inuyasha, please bring her futons and bed sheets for her servant to carry." They both nodded and stood to do their job. Sesshoumaru picked Kagome up and walked her out of the room. They walked in silence, going up two flights of stairs to her bedroom. He slid open the door and walked in. He sat her next to the wall. He sat next to her. "Sesshoumaru-sama, how old are you?" Kagome asked. He looked at her and it made her uneasy. "Um, if you don't mind my asking…"
"Kagome-sama, how old do I look?" he asked. She pondered for a moment. "Uh…Well, seventeen or eighteen, I guess." she replied. He gave a small chuckle. "I am 500 years old."
Kagome's jaw dropped. "500 YEARS OLD!" she exclaimed. She couldn't believe it! "Woah…" she whispered to herself. "I guess that means your engaged to Kikyou," she said. "I am." he replied.
The door then opened and Miyuki walked in with a futon and some bedsheets, along with a yukata for Kagome. "Mistress, here are your things," she said, beginning to fix the futon. Sesshoumaru rose and started to walk out. "Thank you, Sesshoumaru-sama." Kagome called after him. He just kept walking.
"What do you think of Lady Kikyou, brother?"
Sesshoumaru kept walking, completely ignoring his younger brother. Not only was he a hanyou, but he was annoying too. "Really, I think she's absolutely gorgeous," Inuyasha said. "Can you not see that she is empty inside? Her beauty is only exterior." Sesshoumaru replied, walking even faster. "Empty? No, I don't think so," Inuyasha said, trying to catch up to his older brother. "Are you saying that because she's human?" Sesshoumaru stopped. "No. I'm saying that because it is true." He continued to make his way to his Father's study. When they reached it, he slid open the door and sat before his Father. "Yes?" his Father said. Sesshoumaru sighed. "Father, I'm supposed to marry her? Can you not see beyond her looks?" he said. His Father only nodded. He was beginning to think that his Father truly did not understand what he was trying to tell him. "So?"
"Sesshoumaru, can you see beyond her looks?" his Father asked. "Of course I can. She is empty inside. She only has exterior beauty," he replied. "Alright then, now you have to see beyond your understanding, my son," Inutaisho said. "You must accept that you may be wrong about her and that she may be a kind woman."
Sesshoumaru sighed. "I saw during the dinner. She was looking at you the whole time. She likes you."
Sesshoumaru snorted, "Well, it doesn't mean that I like her."
"Sesshoumaru, you will marry Lady Kikyou. And Inuyasha will marry Lady Kagome. Is that clear?" his Father ordered strictly. Sesshoumaru nodded. "Yes, Father."
(A/N:) That's Chapter 1 for ya! It was pretty long to write, I have to say. Anyway, as you can see, Kikyou isn't as mean (except for banging Rie's head in the carriage…Yeah, that was mean, wasn't it?) as you would expect her to be. Well, I don't like to give away my story lines, but I'll tell you this: I DON'T LIKE KIKYOU. Fill in the blanks my friends! Lol!
Also, you can see how much Inutaisho wants Sesshoumaru to marry Kikyou. You want to know why? Well, I'll only say this once: Sesshoumaru can't see beyond people until he let's go of his hatred for their exterior, ex.: humans. Yup, that's my philosophy…J/K! I'm only thirteen. I don't know anything about philosophy…I think. Anyway, please read and review people! The most important time to review is the 1st Chapter. Honestly. It gives the author a reason to get back to the writing quicker. Really.
Oh, yeah! Forgot to mention that this is a DOUBLE POST. So please, read on!
