Sess – Kagome
X . X . X
"Kagome!" The silver haired boy cried out , racing fast to catch the fallen black haired girl. Weight crushed into his arms as the body fell limp, skidding to a stop he held tightly to the small toned woman as if she would vanish in a blink of an eye. Golden eyes locked on a red haired woman floating only inches above the forest floor. The echoes of friends screams bounced off the trees, scaring the birds to escape into the deep blue sky from the danger that lurked beneath their wings.
The woman was out cold in wrapped in red cloth held tight to the strong chest, if he did not have good hearing he would have thought her dead, she was close to death he knew there was not much time. Time was a valuable thing at the moment, since seconds were ticking quickly by.
"Inuyasha, You have caused this to the group of your friends, the heartbreak you have caused will now reflect on you. For you share both human and demon blood you were gifted with a heart to feel from the human blood, yet the demon blood that runs in your veins has clouded your mind. Playing with two hearts it is demon nature to do so. Your once miko Kikyo the once protector of the jewel has come to me. One of the strongest witches that walk this land, the pain flowing from the heart of the dead one cried to me. For I was once felt this pain, you have also made the heart of the miko protector of the jewel cry many nights, her heart is broken her soul almost withered in pain. So in the end ,I have given her a gift, and given you a curse. "
With the words sinking in slowly the woman vanished leaving the group to now deal with what she had done. Their lives all being effected by the witches actions.
X. X. X.
Cries echoed from the hut, the heart wrenching cried filled the ears by the helpless friends sitting by her side. No one could stand the cries yet they stayed by their friend's side, not moving just waiting for whatever was going to happen to come forth.
Sweat damped the black bangs hugging to the pale skinned, eyes squeezed shut, teeth grinding over and over. Her back arched up trying to fight back the pain filling her from the end of her toe nail to the top of her head. Straining to breath only drew the pain deeper into her body, into her soul. Her mind shut down her brain shut out soft comforting comments from her friends.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried, his heart breaking he did not know what to do, how to help her how to stop the aching pain. His eyes blinked away the salty tears ,having to be strong for his friend he had to be the one to hold everything together. After all this was happening from his selfish needs.
"Inuyasha.." Kagome forced out before giving into the black depth of her mind, her body lay still on the ground, her body loosened, her heart slowed. Her friends stared at their friend, had she blacked from the pain ,or was she gone?. Eyes looking to the only one who could tell, his golden eyes were glued to Kagome. His hand shaky reached, his fingers running over the cooling skin, his breathing became hitched. A tear slipped from his golden eye,
"She's gone." He breathed out.
The hut sat in silence with silent tears filling the eyes of many, Kagome had died.
X . X . X .
She stood tall, the same height she was before, five feet three inches. Yet when she woken she was not the same, not human any longer. Black locks with thick silver twisted within her black hair. Her eyes were light grey ,no longer a deep ocean blue they shined soft grays.
Her face was thin with two small grey stripes on her upper check bones, behind her bangs was a full grey moon. Down her body she was thinner more toned in all the right places. Her chest seemed to have swelled, her belly fully flat. Her nails turned to sharp claws, just like her face she had four stripes above her wrist two one each side. Her skin was paler she was no longer tan ,she was breath taking, she was not the same, she seemed to be an adult a very deadly adult.
When she had awoken the pain was gone, yet her nose seemed to be assaulted with many scents, good along with the bad smells of the world. She had noticed she had started feeling much more as if the emotions ran deep within her bones, to her core. Though she did not know of her change yet she knew something was off, something was wrong. Moving her way to the door she saw her friends sitting together under a shaded tree.
Their eyes were red their faces swollen puffed from what seemed to be many tears, Shippo curled in Sango's lap while she had her face resting on Miroku . Something was wrong ,something had happen she knew it, Inuyasha was missing from them all which spoke more to her than anything.
"Hi" She whispered, the looks of her friends ranged from many shocked ,happy and worried, confused. "What is going on?" She questioned moving down the steps closer to her friends. Shippo and Sango jumped up taking Kagome into hug without blinking, seeing if what was going on was true ,or was this just a cruel joke from the gods. To mock them over the loss of their friend, mother, and old lover.
"Lady Kagome you don't know what is going on?" Miroku asked, when he seen Kagome's uncertain eyes he knew that the worst was far from over. When Sango and Shippo let go the three moved to sit with the monk. Silence hung between them for passing moments, waiting for Miroku to fill the woman in. He was still un sure how the woman was sitting in front of him. When not too long ago her heart stopped, and she was named dead.
"Lady Kagome, It seems as if you have turned into a youki .. but before that , you died.." He spoke calm cutting to the point, although he knew the words would be going deep within the young woman, she had stayed silent for a while her mind was taking the news in . Pain swelled in her chest yet her questions of why she felt out of place was answered.
"Why.." She whispered her gray eyes looking into the chocolate orbs of the young monk. How could something happen like this, why her? what had she done wrong, she had given so much of her life for others, she never done wrong and yet fate was giving her this card. How could she have died? Yet be awake now? How could she be a . .demon?
"I guess it would be doing of the red haired witch, she had said this was the fault of young Inuyasha, for betraying you , along with Kikyo."
He did not know much of what had happened never hearing of something like this, only piecing together what he had heard along with seeing for himself. Never has he seen this happen, the witch must have been strong to change the miko into a full blooded demon. When Inuyasha finds out things might not sit well ,also Kagome had yet to find out about the well. Even though they thought the well was blocking Inuyasha because of her passing into the other world. It might not let her pass due to her change of her blood. They would find out in time, he would not bring up the matter just yet since he did not hold the answers he needed.
"I see. .So I guess I am stuck like this.."
She was silent, she was hurt in many ways than others would understand. Living a normal life was no more if she could not find a way to change this. How she always had weird things happen to her ever since she crossed time unlike any human before her. Crossing through time was weird enough chasing down a wishful jewel was weird, having all kinds of things coming after you that you only see in movies or read in books, that was weird. And having to deal and see death all around you, having to kill things and pay no price for it ,was weird .
Yet it didn't shock her because this happened, it hurt her because she wanted to live her life as normal as she could and now it was thanks to Inuyasha she was stuck like this. She had no choice, it was taken from her without her feelings or thoughts in it. She did not have a simple clue on how to be a demon, or what it was like or even what to do.
Inuyasha was only half demon and never lived like one since he was always around humans; he only used his demon sides in battle to help aid them in their mission. Shippo was a fox demon all he knew was tricks the rest of that he acted like a young human child, besides having speed and good hearing and smell. How was she going to get around this one? What would she tell her mom, her grandpa. Oh lord her grandfather! he always bothered Inuyasha for being half demon how would he react when he found out his only granddaughter, was now turned into a full blood demon. Kagome pushed all the thoughts aside, they were not important at the moment. What she needed to do was get everything settled, than think of everything later.
So much had happened she swore her brain was on over drive.
How would she get out of this one?.
X . X . X .
'Kagome?' He skidded to a stop, he smelt her! not the smell of death could this be a trick? 'Kikyo will pay I promise Kagome' He moved closer, the girl looking at him looked a lot like Kagome, was it a trick? Or was this really her. Her scent had changed, blossoms was now mixed with the scent of rain, and many other flowers. Moving closer to get a better look, he could tell that was her, he knew it!
Rushing over he crushed his chest to hers, his arms pulling her tightly. The warmth of her skin, the rise of falling chest from breathing, the beat of her heart pumping blood, she was alive! Thank the kamis. Kagome was not yet ready to die and they knew that! He would not lose her, he promised he would never do something so stupid again, he seen the woman he had loved died fifty years ago the woman who walked now was an evil woman taking form of the old past love. The woman in his hold was the one he wanted, he was just too stupid to see, yet sadly it was too late she had already started to let go.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled it had been five sunrises since everything, Inuyasha was trying his best to show Kagome the ropes of being a demon. She did not seem too much into it or never listen to him. Teaching her to run and jump and land was getting harder, she was worse than a pup. The result of it was the miko falling on her rump and mumbling to herself. Hunting was harder, she did not like having to kill little things.
They had not taken off to the roads to find more shards. They all had agreed that Kagome needed some time to learn her knew abilities as best as she could. Being out in the open fighting demons with someone who could not control themselves would not be the best ideas. So they settled in the small village for the time being.
Inuyasha had never really left her alone since she came back from the dead. The boy could get on some one's last nerves pretty fast. Kagome's hands wanted to rip her hair out or another tree, at the rate she was going the forest held no hope agents her. He had woken her at dawn the only time she would be able to rest or be by herself was meals or a bath, that was after having to sit the boy over and over till he finally had a mouth full of dirt while she made her get away. Kagome knew this was going to be hard yet she was not going to let it stop her. She was never one to quit or sulk in a tree, just because something had happened and she cannot change it doesn't mean she is not going to go with it.
Everything felt it was on overload, her nose seem to smell everything some things she did not wish to even know the smell of. Her eye sight in the dark worked for her, it would help her stop tripping over things in the night when she needed to do something. Sleeping was hard, since she needed little sleep she wanted to sleep every night it was sort of a habit, her ears picked up the smallest of sounds it would drive anyone crazy over time. She was slowly learning how to block things out it was ever so slowly picking up on these things.
x.x.x
It was a week after her death , and Inuyasha finally got tired of trying to teach her, he muttered 'This is getting no place'. Kagome knew he would snap out of this soon, he would get back to his old bossy self. He soon pushed them back out on the hunt, which no one enjoyed walking all day in and out of battle with annoying small demons. Kagome didn't mind walking now since her body was so full of energy yet she would not push her friends like the puppy of their group. Knowing that they did not have the energy like her she knew taking it slow would help them a great deal. It was the stubborn Inuyasha who kept yelling and pushing to go on. So they walked, on and on down roads, through forests , stopping every once and awhile, or every sit Kagome gave.
Finally a little after sunset, they stopped in a small field next to aged trees for the night. Sending Inuyasha to get dinner Kagome helped set up the fire, along with camp. Chatting along with her friends it seemed as another night out in Japan with her friends. It wasn't long before their bellies were full, and everyone settled down for the night.
x.x.x
It was a warm day, everyone slowly lagged on down an old dirt path, trees only sparing little shade for the passing group. Sweat coated most of them as they pushed on with the nagging half demon on their tails. Kagome tried to keep the annoyed Inuyasha at bay, trying to calm him trying to get him to see their views. Though it always ended with a comment about 'weak useless humans' following a sit that allowed a few moments of rest under a helpful kind tree.
It was mid-day the sun hung high within the blue skies, no clouds near the sun they were running the other way when the people below wished for them to cover the harsh sun. Kagome stretched her arms over her head, her claws tangling in with each other. She learned the hard way to watch her claws, they were sharp and never fun to be cut with. It had made things harder to open, she had sported minor cuts from early in the day of trying to itch herself. They would heal in no time thanks to blood that pumped in her veins, Kagome was taken aback by the fast healing, it could come in handy in times of battle.
It was Inuyasha that snapped her from her thoughts, a low growl ripping from his throat, his hand on the hilt of his sword with his body posed to fight. It took Kagome to pin out what had upset him, than like a train something of strong power hit her. The demon was strong and fast on their feet, moving quickly right at them, right at her?
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome gasped.
X. X. X.
The demon lords silver locks flowed behind him, he seemed to block the suns view. His golden eyes reflected small rays of the sun while they were aiming at the small woman. He seemed to be shocked bringing the young girl with him in a stair. The two had never heard an insult or orders from the half demon screaming a few feet away. They had slipped into their own world, Kagome took the scent of the Inudemon in her mind taking the rolls of power that had bounce off him, as he did.
"Lord Sesshomaru? What has honored us to have this run in?" The calm monk stepped in front of the fuming man. Fighting with his elder brother was no good; they did not need to be put at risk with the loud mouth man flying from the handle for the hatred of his brother. The words snapped Sesshomaru's eyes from Kagome's they now laid resting heavy on the monk. Whom was now worried to have such a strong demon focusing everything on him.
"You have entered the western lands, This Sesshomaru had felt a power roaming the lands." Sesshomaru spoke hard and deep, he would not give the true reason on why he had come.
"We mean no harm to your lands Lord Sesshomaru, We are passing through to only find the shards." The monk bowed low, he was one of the few humans who had known his place. Sesshomaru's eyes had moved back to the miko, or what was of the miko. She was still locked in her stare of him. She did not register the graceful movements from the man before hear or the shouts of Inuyasha to get away. The man moved only a hands reach away. His height easily towered hers, grey met the gold, her black silver hair falling back of her shoulders as she stretched her head up to look him in the eyes. He leaned in sniffing her it was only quick before straightening his back he turned to the low filth that he was blood related with.
"This Sesshomaru notices she is no longer a human, she is a full blooded Inu, How did this come about." He wanted answers the last time he had run into the woman she was a weak small human girl. Now she stood a strong demon how could such thing happen?. Some form of magic had to take play for this to happen. Never had the woman have a drop of demonic blood in her veins, only pure holy energy that he felt at one point of their battles.
"None of ya damn businesses you ass!" Inuyasha barked, growling low he moved closer to Kagome, taking a step in front of the dazed woman. The last thing he needed was his brother here playing twenty one questions. He has no place to ask about Kagome, she was not his friend , they did not stand on the same side.
"Hn. Tell me girl, have you learned your abilities?." He looked past the man in red to the woman who slowly came from her mind. It was clear she did not master the scent or how to take in eras of other demons. Yet her demon side slowly led her to the place where she needed to be even if she did not take notice.
"Hm? Oh no I don't know much , I am still learning, it's only been a little over a weeks' time.. since I happen to turn" Kagome trailed off in her mind of everything she had been doing. She confirmed Sesshomaru's question. A plan had formed he would need the miko to get the information he needed, and doing so he had to be close to the miko.
"Lord Sesshomaru ! I have found you!" A squeaky voice cried, the fast green toad soon bursting into the clearing with a small child following close behind pulling a dragon with her. They had followed their lord when he had just taken off for a reason not known to them. They were loyal to their lord they held close to their hearts, even if he did not show love for them. They knew he cared for he had saved them over and over.
"Lady Kagome!" Rin called her hands waving over her brown hair, running closer to the miko who in returned smiled and waved. The young girl was stopped in her assault by her Lord, she slowly back away she would hug and greet her friend later. She knew her place something important was going on.
"This Sesshomaru shall teach the girl in the Inu ways and master what she now has in her." Sesshomaru broke the silence he left no room for anyone to deny what he was going to. Until his half brother had to open his mouth , he had always found a way to fight with someone every time.
"Oh the hell you are bastard! You are not taking Kagome !" Inuyasha growled now letting his sword come out and hit the ground waiting for his brother to raise his, yet it never came.
"You fool , you think you can beat this Sesshomaru ! The Sesshomaru will do as he pleases, The girl is in need of training by a full blooded Inu not a half mutt. " He spoke low and hard, ready to spill the blood of the mutt for finally annoying him enough.
"We are collecting shards! We do not have the time to let you train her, she won't learn! Ya wasting your time.!" This time Kagome came too, stepping between the brothers trying to stop the fighting. Her friends stand at bay waiting for the battle to start at any moment.
"Inuyasha.." Kagome spoke, turning to him. Even know she knew the hate Inuyasha had held in his heart for his brother, she knew she needed help. The fight with the spider demon they would need her, she didn't want to get her and the others harmed or even worse killed by her lack of training. "Inuyasha..Sesshomaru is right, I need the help, The upcoming battle I need to know how to fight, I won't risk anyone for me not knowing or training. ." Before Inuyasha could stop her she turned to Sesshomaru looking deep in his eyes, taking a breath she spoke the words she never thought she would say in her life. "Lord Sesshomaru, If you wish to train me, Than you will need to travel with us, for I cannot push my quest aside. So we must come to an agreement of no fighting. The faster we do this the faster we part the better for all of us."
It was now Kagome who was in control even though they hated the fact the woman controlling them. Sesshomaru only scoffed a ' Hn' with a nod while turning on heal.
'Sesshomaru just joined us? Has pigs flown! Had hell freeze to ice? Ha never would I seen the day, this will be interesting to see.'
'I will put that woman in her place' Smirked the ice prince.

The group of ten moved on traveling along battling side by side. Inuyasha was not getting any better, no matter how many sits Kagome made him go through. Shippo was happy to have a friend, Jaken seem to warm up since he no longer had to deal with Rin all the time. Sango along with Miroku did not mind the new people joining the group, it was just the half demon making problems.
Nothing went well with the boy, he was hard headed and rude and never allowing change. Kagome tried to bring peace . .it was her job, Inuyasha was making sure she had a run for her money. It was bad enough she had so much going on with herself, fighting was not going to make anything better. In the middle of the night Sesshomaru would teach Kagome, Slowly but surely he was catching on even with Inuyasha watching them stating 'I don't trust that bastard Kagome. I could of taught you all of that. 'Kagome knew he was only worried that Sesshomaru would harm her along with a sting of jealousy that she spent a lot of her time with the person he hated with his whole heart. She brushed it off though, it was his fault that this happened to her in the first place, it was random yet still his fault.
X . X . X . X .
It was after sun set when Sesshomaru and Kagome got to training, today it was her speed and moving better. Still a little off with her running she was more than willing to use this time to gain better control of her new abilities. Little did she know Sesshomaru had some words and questions yet with the lingering mutt in the trees above, he would not have a chance to get what he needed. Knowing that the two of them could out run Inuyasha he was going to take Kagome far off to speak with the girl.
"Follow this Sesshomaru by scent." With that the graceful lord zipped off, silver swaying behind him while the dark haired silver girl followed on his tail. No matter how many time you jumped from tree to tree or passed trees till they blended into a brown wall it was breath taking. Jumping so high you feel as though you could touch the sky, grab a star and keep it. The wind whipping all around you, if you close your eyes it felt as though you were a bird within the sky. No limits no rules it was pure freedom with the blood pounding in your veins. Kagome giggled she took a leap pushing off the tree flying over the silver haired man below the hanyou forgotten Kagome had won the chase, funny both dogs playing chase.
"Wow ..That was fun!" She breathed, sitting down on the soft green grass. Moon light hanging in the sky the stars filling all around the moon lighting their way. It was a rush, if she were to be an adrenalin junkie she would never stop running. "Should we be getting back ?" Looking up to the demon lord who did not face her. He looked towards to moon, the light bouncing off him. He was the son of the moon he bathed in the light of the moon allowing his beauty to be seen by the world.
"Girl." He stated, he had yet to call her by her name, Kagome stood to look at him. Waiting for him to speak again she caught on he took his time talking also learning it was most important. "How did you become a full blood demon when only few weeks ago you had nothing but a human body." He turned to look at her now. It didn't shock the girl that he was wondering, she was also asking her the same things. Things like this do not happen every day, understanding the Inu demon standing before her needing to know what happen.
"I..I don't know why it happen besides the fact of Inuyasha upsetting a witch because he was playing with two hearts, mine along with Kikyo. She came out of nowhere.. All I remember is she pulling me away from the group and above the trees she had whispering something to me , and biting my neck just a little, before I passed out. From what the others said the last thing she said is 'She given me a gift and gave Inuyasha a curse.. I just don't see what she means. ." Huffing she turned from Sesshomaru, she didn't fear him as she once did years ago. No longer was she going to play 'the weak little miko' She knew she was strong, it was now time to act like it.
What had shocked Kagome was the growl she heard ripping through the air. She turned stunned to see Sesshomaru white knuckled growling, his eyes had darken from the melting gold to a hard deep golden glaze. "S-Sesshomaru?.." Her voice was soft she wanted to reach out and touch him and calm the anger from the man, she knew if she did such act she would be missing an arm.
"Silence!" He ordered his voiced carried around him , Kagome fell into silence as she was told, she would never listen to him if it was not important. Something she said had caused this weird anger from him.
"You do not know what you are.." He whispered anger leaving him.
X . X . X . X .
Her brow knitted together, what did he mean she didn't know what she was ? She was a full blooded dog demon right?. Kagome waited for Sesshomaru to calm himself a little more. Whatever he was upset about must be something serious.
"You do not understand the power you hold girl , YOU don't know what you're were gifted with." His golden eyes met hers, she seemed lost in thought of his words what was she gifted with ? She was a demon she knew her power out matched humans, yet where did she stand in the demon ranks?.
"This Sesshomaru has only met one gray Inu , the last of the grays. White and black Inus when mated would bear gray pups. Rare since the blacks and white Inus rarely mated. They double in strength , they ruled many of the lands even my fathers. ." Sesshomaru recalled his run in with the gray Inu before he had died.
"What happened to the gray Inus ?" It did not make any sense if they doubled in strength than how could they all die so quickly.
"Many feared the grays many of them were ruthless, taking land ruling with no thought killing many demons along with humans. People feared the grey Inus for they ruled everything. Over a thousand years ago, humans and demons joined in battle killing all the grays besides one. They had also killed the race of black inus , and a lot of the white inu race. Inus are rare to come across by now. You girl are the last of your kind. It is an honor to be a gray, so do not take this so lightly." Kagome stood dazed by the new facts she was given along with the fact that she had never heard Sesshomaru speak so much,she never heard so many words come from the demon lord.
Sesshomaru knew with training Kagome would be un stoppable even if she mated a human her pups would be as strong as he. He would never tell her he should be kneeling at her feet, for she could take him out if she felt the need. Now he knew what the witch meant by giving her a gift, for she would rule the lands in time she would live for years to come.
He watched her bring her claws to her lips, thinking of everything her eyes looking at anything on the ground. How could it be that she out of everyone else be given such a gift. Was it the hands of the kami that sent the witch her way, did they plan everything out? .
"Return to the camp tomorrow we will train more we shall return to my lands." The girl needed to train the last thing they needed was her doing something to get her killed and the grays forever staying instinct.
"I' bet I can bet you ! can't keep up with me!." Kagome giggled taking off to where she came from, leaving a smirking male in her dust she now had someone she could test, she wasn't the one being tested.
"Challenge accepted ."

Guts was the only thing she could never get used to, picking off the dried blood her nose turned up, it was to sickening to stomach. The thick scent of blood still hung in the air, there was some things you never wanted to ever want to smell, blood, illness along with many other things. No matter how hard she tried she smelt everything, most of the time it was never well. She now understood why Sesshomaru always talked about humans being dirty and smelling odd.
They had taken down yet another enemy wanting the shards, it started to seem they wanted to die since they knew they would never get the shards. Saddening how one small thing would drive people to deaths door, when they could just live out their lives human or demon, yet it drove even humans to do stupid things. The faster they got rid of the jewel the better off people would be.
She turned her eyes to Sesshomaru in hopes for a 'good job' only giving a nod she took that she did well. With a smile she picked her pack up and headed out once more with her friends. Pride filled her chest she was happy she was getting better. The mind rattling news Sesshomaru told her still shocked her to no end. How could she be the one to keep the line of the gray inus going? Everything rested upon her, if something happened to her than she would let a lot of people down, she would make history if she kept the blood going, she would see many changes if she ever returned home.

The camp fire was small enough light to shine in the small camp, bellies full most of the group stretched out for the night. Sango and Miroku on the right side of the camp Shippo and Rin cuddled up in a blanket, Inuyasha in the trees, Sesshomaru under the tree leaving Kagome to herself curled into her own ball.
'We all make such a strange group, A demon slayer, a monk, a fostered fox kit, a little girl being brought back to life after being slaughtered, a doubled tail fire cat demon, a two headed dragon, a frog imp, a demon lord, a half inu , and I , once a miko now the only gray inu…how kami picks the fates well.'
With one last glance around the group she drifted off to the wonders of sleep , well that was what they were supposed to be.
x. x. x. x. x.
'Where am I?' Her thought echoed into her mind, the black depth slowly started to clear from her eyes. Coming closer to the light her feet walked closer , quicker to the light. Trying to find a way out from the dark tunnel. Finally reaching the end , dim light only grew more intense , pulling her arm up over her face shielding the unwanted light.
Slowly the light dimmed for her to peek from under her arm, she was staring at herself? 'I'm dreaming?' she watched on , watching herself waking from the restless sleep. She followed herself out of the hut, looking around to see the person who was long gone, She remembered this, remembered this day. Walking behind herself Kagome watched her younger self stumble through the forest. She had done this one too many times, never learning the outcome of it.
"Inuyasha.." Wept the dead woman, clinging to the fire rat shedding tears she no longer felt. Inuyasha held tightly to the shaking woman, his claws tangled within her black locks, trying to give as much comfort as he could never truly knowing how to sooth such a sadden person.
"It won't be much longer I promise." He whispered , only to believe that only one would be hearing it. Kagome clutched the tree holding back the heartbreak that built within her chest.
"You promise not only I , you also promise Kagome, only a copy of I. !" Kikyo shoved the chest she clung to, her anger boiled over. Years have passed since she had been sucked back into the world of the living, with the goal of dragging Inuyasha to the depths of hell she was sent too. Years she had been waiting, years of talking Inuyasha into leaving Kagome, yet he stayed with the empty promises, years of anger , pain, regret building, blackening her soul.
"Kikyo! You know what we are doing, I promise once this is over I will be with you!" Inuyasha cried, pulling the woman back into his arms, locking them around her so she could no longer push him away. The one who needed the comfort, the one who needed to be held was hidden away fighting back the tears behind the tree. The ghost of Kagome watched with sadden eyes feeling the same squeeze of her heart, she hated this memory ,why she was dreaming of it was beyond her understanding. She turned she knew what happens all too well, re living it was not on her list to do.
She walked till it was black again, wondering around her own mind awaiting to awaken from her dream, to shake off the heavy feelings that stirred within her own heart.
'Forgive him, for he was not the one to blame, You shall see.' It was only a whisper yet it echoed loud. The light came forth once more yet this time she was following behind Kikyo in a deep forest path. 'I never lived this..' She rushed to keep up to the woman, she was a ghost once more following after the woman who changed her life, broke her down, yet built her back up in a way they both would never know of.
Stopping at a small run down cave Kikyo bowed, Kagome watched with wondering eyes as the red headed woman came into view ,it was the witch that had changed her. 'So this is what happened' Kikyo stood to her full height she was rather short to the tall woman. She had to admit that the witch held such a rather rare beauty.
"Kikyo ,why have you come to me your kind hates who I am." The woman spoke calmly, she feared not of the woman standing before her. Her eyes held no emotion , it was as if she was dead like Kikyo.
"I have come today asking for a quest, for I have suffered for over fifty years, seeking revenge on the one who stole my heart, and the woman who is keeping me from my quest." Meeting the eyes of the witch Kikyo knew what she had to do.
"You speak of Inuyasha, and the miko Kagome. Am I right?" With a strong nod the witch looked past Kikyo , searching for anyone else to be with the dead miko, when it was clear she turned her eyes back on the clay woman.
"You know, when this is done the miko will no longer be able to return to her home? Is this the path you choose, this will cause much suffering."
"This is what I want." Her voice was cold, she would break many hearts , hurt many to get her quest done, to get her revenge. No more stepping around people she would walk over many to get to the heart she truly wanted.
"I will call on you for my payment when I see fit." Turning she left the miko to wonder off to do as she pleased, she had many ideas running within her mind, the one she seen fit was the gift she gave Kagome.
All went black once more, leaving Kagome to stand by herself. Anger boiled within her heart, Kikyo took her family away. Kikyo was the one to blame for she was the one who had done this. Selfish heart that lay still within her chest was the reason why she was going through this. She was not the copy of her, she was not the woman Kikyo was. For she would never do this to another, the only person she wished to see fall was the spider, for he ruined the lives of many, he was evil upon the land it was her job to stop him.
"Kagome." A woman called, snapping Kagome from the thoughts that rushed through her head, looking forth she noticed she was not alone she was with a woman. She stood far off from Kagome, with dim light it was nearly impossible to recognize who the woman was.
"You were never meant to love Inuyasha, Take this gift, accept it into your heart, You were meant to love another." Her voice was warm, caring giving Kagome the comfort she needed, yet no matter the steps she took she could not close in on the woman.
"Who are you.?" Kagome question ,seeing no matter how hard she tried she would not come close to the woman.
"It matters not who I am, now awaken, Sesshomaru will be waiting."
"Wait!" She cried running after the woman who walked away, chasing the woman who only grew further away from her she felt the pull of her awakening.
"Kagome."
X . X . X . X .
"Sesshomaru?" Mumbled the sleeping woman, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her mind felt as if it was in a million places at once. Rolling to her side, stretching she pulled herself up. Her dream was right , Sesshomaru was up waiting for her. The low flames gave enough light for the small camp, the light danced among his golden eyes. His white hair bounced of his shoulders, his back to the tree, his arm draped over his knee. He kept his sights on the awakening miko.
"Do you seek revenge little one?" His voice was filled with boredom, yet he wanted to know why his dream was the same as the mikos. Watching the past through his own eyes, he seen the betrayal that Inuyasha had caused by sneaking to see the dead miko. Also seeing the selfishness in the heart of the dead one, stealing Kagome's life, one would want revenge after such an act right?
"Huh?" She mumbled sitting herself to get more comfy remembering that Sesshomaru knew what had just happened. Shaking her head, chasing the sleep from her she spoke again before he grew angry. She knew well that he did not like repeating himself. " Oh, no.. I am upset, I just need to figure everything out.. There is nothing I can do about it now.. It hurts deeply, more than anyone can know. My family, my life, everything is taken. I had no choice, yes it might be a gift yet for now I need to heal" Her eyes dropped to the ground, her scent gave off thick with sadness tears coming forth in the darkening grey orbs, It truly shocked the cold demon lord, the woman before him was not angry like anyone else would be, yet she was sad?. He snapped back when she spoke once more.
"I can't do much, I mean what it would do for me or anyone if I were to harm her, or get pay back. It won't bring my family back to me, I will live and hopefully see them once more. But they will worry, I will cause the family I have pain and sorrow over lack of knowledge. Revenge is something I do not like to do, you see Inuyasha only sees me as Kikyo. I guess I will only be a down grade Kikyo his former lover. Yet some days I see where we are different than when I catch Inuyasha with Kikyo, I see how we are alike. We have loved the same man, we have both suffered from his foolishness, yet I am the only fool , for I knew he was already taken by another. You cannot come between true love, and I thought I could without knowing. It's my fault this has happened." Her gray eyes turned more darker almost to a solid black, a tear slipped down her cheek, falling off her chin crashing into the dirt. Her heart was hurting, yet she was used to it. She knew the pain to well, yet this pain seeped deeper into her heart ,she was weeping for herself, and for her family.
"I'll never see mama, gramps, or my little brother…Ill.." She couldn't go on, her throat had gone dry, her chest squeezed tightly, her eyes welled up with more tears. Her hand went to her chest, feeling the rush of the heartbeat, she was weak still and she knew it her heart would always be her down fall. Even after becoming a demon she was still weak, she was still the same old Kagome in a new body. .
She didn't notice Sesshomaru stand, or him kneeling in front of her. " This Sesshomaru has seen the pain the half breed has caused you. I have also walked in your dream, your memories. You shall find another who will return those feelings. Do not shed tears over a man who would not do the same for you." Sesshomaru did not understand why he had just said such kind words, It was not like him to give such comfort. He leaned in, nuzzling into the crook of her neck, rubbing his nose into her hair. It was a Inu thing, it was a comfort thing his mother used to do to him when he was a pup. It had worked he sensed Kagome calming down, she nuzzled him back purring in accepting the comfort. It hit him like a brick wall, she was aroused, he had nuzzled her for too long. He stiffened , his beast clawing to get out, to take her to runt with her till she was pupped , he bit back for control. Kagome leaned up to leave small kisses along his neck, soft purrs filled her chest.
"Sesshomaru.." She breathed her eyes now glazed a dark black, she had lost herself.
