Author: Celestial Seraphim
Warning: violence, mature themes, angst, failed attempts at humor, OOCness, etc.
Pairing: SesshomaruxKagome
Side Pairings: SangoxMiroku, InuyashaxKikyo
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters those go to their prospective owners but I'm currently in negotiations for a Sesshomaru plushie :
Summary: Misery loves company as the old adage states and no two people were more miserable than them. So was it fate that brought Kagome and Sesshomaru together is shared pain or mere whim of the great youkai? When she gets a peak at the Taiyoukai's face Kagome can't help the feelings that slowly begin to consume her even though at first she doesn't realize they're there but will it end in a happy ending?
Author's Note: So I previously had five chapters already written of this before my pc decided to crash and I lost all of my files. Therefore this is the rewrite of the original but I tried to take as much as I could remember from the original but since I felt like they were moving too fast in the first one this one will be slightly different. This takes place before/during/after the time when they are on their way to the holy mountain that Naraku is hiding in. I hope everyone enjoys this story and I should be posting regularly seeing as I got a good number of chapters done already.
Don't let it be Just Once
Preface
There was no love there, she knew that. Every single time she felt that heart breaking ache though, no matter what and without fail. They had fallen into a routine. A horrible and distant routine that tore at her heart. The whole group would either be fighting Naraku or one of his minions would appear to fight then then she would appear or he would catch her scent and he would go to her, usually without hesitation. At the end she would be left alone with the group and her sorrow. Sometimes on those days he went after her she would wander while other times she would go back to the future where she tried to forget about the two of them.
It was on one of those days she was wandering listlessly, nursing her pain that the routine changed and they had met. When they bumped into each other that first time something happened, something began to change between them. No one but them would ever know the things they did after that fateful meeting. No one would know of the things they talked about either before or after their activities. No one but she would know that she wasn't the only broken person near Inuyasha. That while her heart was shattering and he was doing all he could to keep her heart together because of a whim he had, his own heart and spirit was already broken. His only use for her was to be near someone who was just as miserable as -if not more than- he.
They used each other but they did not imagine that from their use of each other something fragile and tentative would be born. However, Inuyasha's last most agonizing betrayal would set that something into motion.
