Sequel to Could He Come To Love Me?
When Two Become One SessKaga
Ch1 Missing You
Two weeks have passed since Kagome left the side of Sesshomaru, two long weeks. To her surprise Inuyasha had not mentioned a word about her staying with his brother; she assumed it was due to something either the others said or it was a pride thing. Miroku had asked her if she enjoyed herself and she had said that she had but it's not the staying with him that was hard, it was the leaving.
Now and then Kagome would stair off into space, wondering what he's dong, wondering where her love is. She didn't even realize Inuyasha had been so quiet since she came back, though it did bother the others.
Today Kagome had no time to be distracted by memories of those wonderful three days. Today she was busy looking for shards of the sacred jewel. A group of thieves attacking an old man on the road a few miles back; he had some info on a possible jewel in the next village. Inuyasha and his friends, with out question, took care of the thieves in exchange for this information.
Another day, another lonely sunset; the group had found the jewel shard, slain the demon and where now staying at a local inn as thank you for protecting the village, and there was no sign of Neraku today either. Today was the usual boring day, just all this week.
"Why won't he come back for me!" exclaimed the girl looking out to the woods as the sun set. Sango and Miroku both watched her knowing who she meant.
"He ain't com'en back because he don't want you," muttered the half-demon.
"Oh, Inuyasha …," she looked down to her feet.
"Why do you keep thinking about him?"
"What makes you say that?" retaliated the girl.
Miroku, Sango and Shippo all watched from the porch of the inn they where staying at.
"I knew this would happen eventually," stated the monk.
"Because I know him," started Inuyasha.
"No, you don't!"
"Kagome, you don't know him. You only think you do and it's driving me crazy!"
"Miroku," started Sango, "You handle Inuyasha I'll talk to Kagome?"
"Fine, I'll do what I can," Miroku didn't want to really get involved.
The two walked toward the arguing half-demon and miko, while Shippo and Kirara stood in the background staying clear of the soon-to-be fireworks.
"Kagome, can I talk to you?" asked the demon-slayer.
"Inuyasha may I have a word?"
"Fine whatever," huffed the dog demon.
"Sure, what's up Sango?"
Sango and Kagome went back into the inn, leaving the guys outside to chat.
Sango sat on the edge of Kagome's bed.
"Here sit," she started and Kagome complied.
"Something wrong?" asked the school girl.
"Well, it's just. You've been daydreaming a lot lately and your outburst tonight leaves Miroku and I wondering what happened when you were with Sesshomaru. Do you mind telling us?"
Kagome hesitated for a moment.
"Well, I guess I have been feeling off lately ever since this whole thing started. Sango," started the other looking down at the floor, Sango awaited her reply, "I'm in love with lord Sesshomaru."
Sango's eyes widened in wonder, "Why him though Kagome?"
"Well it's just. I know he loves me too, he just really doesn't understand it yet. I'm afraid he'll forget what we shared. Sango I saw a side of him that's so different form the Sesshomaru we have all learned to dislike. I've seen how he fathers Rin, and keeps Jakin on his toes. I've seen love in his golden eyes and now I just can't get him out of my head," he voice cracked at the last word as tears start to fill her eyes. Sango rubbed her back to comfort her friend.
"And it started as curiosity but them I give it to him," she cried.
"Give him what Kagome?"
"My virginity!" she cried, "and now he's gone and I miss him!"
Sango was shocked at this new found information.
"Kagome get a hold of yourself!" she whispered, "You don't want to guys to think something's wrong."
"I'm sorry," she sniffled, "have you ever had this problem?"
"No, I've saved myself for the man I love; so I don't know what your going threw but I can say this. If you really love him you should go to him."
"Sango?" wined the other.
"Kagome listen to me. Forget about Inuyasha, he's done this to you too many times. If Sesshomaru's really the guy you say he is and if you really love him, you should go to him."
"But I don't know where he is," she dried her tears away.
"I can help you look for him."
"But Sango, what if-"
"No buts, I don't like seeing you like this and it's had everyone worried. If this is what it takes to make you happy then it's all that matters. Once we defeat Neraku, you and lord Sesshomaru can be together but if seeing him will help; you and I will go looking for him in the morning, sound fair?"
"Okay. I don't know why I got so emotional."
"You're not the first girl I've seen be like this over a guy, trust me its hormones. I'd parable be just as lost without Miroku around."
Miroku looked at Inuyasha in the face.
"Inuyasha, Kagome is obviously going threw some stress. I think its best we are there for when she needs us instead of putting her thought down."
"What are you saying monk?"
"Well, for whatever reason she wants to see Sesshomaru, so instead of getting angry how about we try to figure out why she wants him to come for her so badly. If we can find out the root of the problem we can fix it. Sango's talking to her now, so just give it some time and see what comes of it."
"I hate waiting!" he shouted, "you know when I said I needed to be left alone the second day she was with him?"
"You went to go see her."
"Yah, wait how did you know?" asked the other distracted by the statement.
"Well you're easy to read Inuyasha."
"Anyway when I found them, Kagome and Sesshomaru where red in the face and Kikyo showed up and said they where far from their camp. Then Kagome tried to tell me that they where out picking berries and hunting rabbits. What do you think she takes me for?"
"You don't want me too, wait they where both red in the face?" Miroku tried to imagine a blushing Sesshomaru and all he could picture up was a distorted image.
"So I know he's up to something. But what gets me is Kagome wants to be with him, that's what I don't understand and it's really starting to piss me off," he wined.
"Didn't you ever stop to think maybe he's not doing anything wrong?"
"What?"
"Well there's a chance having Rin with him all the time has made him behave or even feel different about the human race. I don't think he would admit it if it where true; but what if Kagome saw something we couldn't because we weren't there?"
"Now you sound like her!"
"I'm sorry I'm just trying to think of all the possibilities. I know you hate your brother but people change Inuyasha."
"Damn it Miroku the day that dog changes will be the day you stop womanizing!"
"That's going to happen soon enough my friend," stated the monk, "besides the jealousy feeling you have right now might be good for you. It's a taste of your own medicine."
"Hell to jealousy, but what the hell are you talking about?"
"Well the way you always leave Kagome whenever Kikyo's around. You go to her and leave Kagome out of it, and that leads Kagome as well as the rest of us to believe you are not over Kikyo and that really hurts Kagome. Now she's found another guy who she likes and might like her back and that bothers you. A taste of your own medicine," he finished.
"Like hell!" shouted the half-demon. Enraged, he pushed passed Miroku and into the room they where all sharing at the inn.
"Kagome what the hell are you doing falling for my brother!"
"Inuyasha?" exclaimed Kagome, "What do you mean?"
"I've seen the way you have been staring off into space and don't deny it, I know he did something to you while you were gone!"
"It's none of your business now leave me alone!"
"Not until you tell me, damn it!"
Kagome was on the verge of tears again, looking at the hate in Inuyasha's eyes regarding his older half-brother. She got up off the bed trying to be strong after just having an emotional break down.
"I bet you slept with the bastard! He fucking wrapped you didn't he?"
Sango gasped at the accusation and Miroku stepped forward, "Stop it you don't know that Inuyasha you're blinded by hate for him."
"I want to the truth!" screamed the dog demon, worrying the owners of the house a little.
"Leave me alone!" yelled Kagome, running out of the inn full speed, not daring to look back.
