Love and Ice
"Twin Surprise"
---
Kagome was heart broken.
Inuyasha was outside Kaede's hut listening to the muffled cries from his mate. The said girl inside the hut had taken a spell and practically bound and gagged Kagome to the Goshinboku. Not very long afterwards, she had met up with Inuyasha there. And for the reason why Kagome's heart was shattered, she couldn't explain to merely Sango, nor the perverted monk.
"Inuyasha." said Kikyo, staring into his golden eyes. Her hands on his shoulders, his on her waist. It was the perfect setting. The perfect scene for two lovers...
"Kikyou." Inuyasha replied.
Tightening his grip on her, Inuyasha looked into her dead-brown eyes, and wished she were one of the realms of the living. But seeing her, holding her, he didn't care is she was alive or dead... as long as she was with him. Looking on her parted lips, he leaned in and she did the same and kissed which like felt like forever.
Kagome had been out looking for some fire wood, when she captured by Kikyou. With a binding spell of dead souls she was tied to the Sacred Tree. Inuyasha, being the ever curious hanyou he was, went to search for her after it had been too long just to look for wood and stumbled upon the scene of Kikyou looking at Kagome, with blue lights around Kagome, holding her to tree.
Just like before.
His breath had cut short when Kikyou said she loved him, and had to capture Kagome or else she'd have no chance of confessing her love. When they kissed, Kagome's heart broke into a million pieces and scattered across the seven seas...
The bonds on her loosened and she fell to the earth, looking at the two. Kikyou-sama... Kikyou-sama... She ran from the two and to the village.
How could he?
Three days later Inuyasha came back, holding hands with Kikyou and told everyone, that she was pregnant. No one said a word, not even Kaede. Kirara even stopped playing with Shippou just look at the two. Kagome ran out the hut crying until she got to the well, and just jumped in, not caring that she left her bag in the hut.
She came back a week later saying ,"I'm just here to get all the shards of the Shikon no Tama, then I'm never coming back to Feudal Era, defeating Naraku will be someone else's job, not mine.
"As your reincarnation," she said looking at Kikyou, "I will collect them and take them back to my time, where no one will take them away. And no trouble will ever come back to me; for everyone else in this time, it might be different. But with the jewel gone, less corruption will occur."
Kikyou screamed with agony, "IT HURTS!"
Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore, he ran into the hut to help his mate through the pain. Kagome, sitting at least seven feet from the hut's door, burned a hole in the ground with her eyes. The monk wistfully glanced at the door, and sighed.
Somewhere inside Kagomemade a small sound like a giggle (if you considered laughing while sobbing actual laughing), if she thinks that giving birth is the only thing that brings you pain, she's got another thing coming. But thenKagome thought of what she just mentally said, and welled up in tears. I still can't believe Inuyasha doesn't love me, the only reason they love each other, is because they each have one thing in common... pain. They can't show their feelings, as they did fifty years ago.
Hearing a cry from Kikyou once again just made her well up in new tears. "Kagome, this must be so hard for you." Said Sango.
"I agree, there is no other pain like having a love not love you back." Miroku replied. Screw Inuyasha. Miroku dies first.Kagome thought tightening her fists.
Suddenly a cry from Kikyou stopped and Kaede said aloud, "Tis a girl!"
Kagome's heart could not take anymore of this. She stood up and ran away, crying mentally, Great a girl like Kikyou, once again to break some other girl's heart or mine. She cried, as she ran, not caring where she was going.
Kagome stopped, and looked around her. She began to cry again. This place was somewhere she didn't want. It was the same place she saw Inuyasha forcibly embracing Kikyou, saying he'll always protect her, no matter what.
Choking on another sob and hiccup at the same time…Kagome felt more hot salty tears gather over her hazel eyes. Her legs began to move at their own accord, and she ran away from the forest.
When Kagome stopped once more, she realized she didn't have a clue where anything was, she had been running like crazy for almost half an hour, and could not remember where the well was, or Kaede's village, or anything…
"I'm lost…" she said to no one.
She fell to her knees, crying. "I'm lost, no one will find me…" she gasped. I have no weapons!
Putting her hands to face,Kagome realized if no one found her she'd never get home, or see her modern friends, or her feudal friends, or see her own family.
What will they think? What will Inuyasha say? What will Kikyou-sama say? Poor Shippou, I'm his adoptive mother, and I left him there, alone. And Sango, she'll be alone too, I'm the only girl besides Kaede, and Miroku, well I can't think of what he'll say, and Naraku…
I'm defenseless, I have nothing to protect myself, and I'm so vulnerable. He'll come after me, now that I have almost the rest of the Shikon no Tama. I have no arrows, no bows or anything…"I'm worthless, I've left everyone I care for…" she mumbled. "I hate you Kikyou… I hate you Kikyou…" Kagome clenched her eyes tight.
"I hate you, Kikyou!" Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs.Kagome then just broke down and cried uncontrollable hiccups and sobs.
Kagomedidn't notice the footsteps coming toward her. She didn't feel the aurora of some shards the stranger had in his pocket. She didn't even feel the aurora of the stranger was in fact, a demon. When she finally realized someone was a few feet away from her she slowly looked up, seeing the garments he wore. She gasped when she finally saw his face; it was one person she didn't want to see… he resembled Inuyasha too much.
"…Sesshoumaru?" Kagome said blankly.
"Miko," he replied. He didn't know her name… he never really picked up on it.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, trying desperately to slow her sobs, rubbing at her smoky eyes.
He stared at her, seeing the tear stains upon her shirt and skirt, and the wetness of them still on her face and in her eyes. "Why are you crying?" he asked finally. He had a strange feeling of dejavu from when he met Rin.
Kagome then looked down at the ground she had been watering the last ten minutes from her tears. She screamed in her head about the thoughts of Kikyou and Inuyasha.
"He chose that dead thing… didn't he?" he asked, answering his own question.
Kagome nodded, "It just really hurts…," she said quietly.
My idiot brother has done some stupid things in the past, but this is ridiculous, he thought. She can't face him anymore, if he loves the dead thing, than this girl has no happiness.Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes. It's not my business.
Why should I even care?
"I can't even face him," she said, echoing his thoughts back at him, "But I have to stay…"
"Why?" he asked.
Kagomelooked him in the eyes. Because I love him that's why! "…Because it's my duty to collect the shards of the jewel." She replied.
The Jewel of Four Souls, he thought.Sesshoumaru raised a brow. "Why not just search for them with someone else?" Surely someone in the era would just love to have some petty human girl look for pieces of something as small as a jewel.
"No," Kagome wiped away her tears. "There's no one..." That I want to be with...
Sesshoumaru looked over to see nothing but dark that night. Really? How unfortunate to be alone in this warring era. Sesshoumaru wished she'd stop crying by now. She wasn't sobbing very much, the smell of salt was overwhelming. There was one way to make her stop crying. Well more then one way, but there was no use to make a crying girl fall into depression. He let a small breath if air escape him that sounded like a sort of sigh. "...Why not join me?" Stop crying already.
Kagome's hands which are on either side of her face, holding her cheeks, froze while her eyes widened. Her nose was pink, her face was flushed with heat of tears. "N-Nani?" Kagome said surprisingly (and intelligently).
"You can come with me. We can collect the shards, then you can fulfill your duty. And never have to deal with all this again."'Sesshoumaru replied. Anything to make her stop.
"…You mean it?" She said.
"Yes." he finally said, what would take for this girl to be reasoned with? "When they all leave that village, you can get your things, and prepare to come with me, than you can get all of this over with."
Kagome looked into his golden eyes. With gratitude and happiness in her own.Sesshoumaru pulled out a small bag from his pocket, and handed it (or more like tossed it) to Kagome. When she opened it, she saw almost two dozen shards of the jewel. Her eyes went wide, why didn't I notice that he had all these? She questioned herself. She looked again into his eyes, and tried to find out what he was thinking. He stared at her, trying to figure out what made him say all those things.
What has happened to me? Am I going soft? No you're just insane...
"Thank you so much Sesshomaru…sama," she said, "I'll come with you, and I will collect the shards with you. I'm so grateful…" She stood up, and wrapped her long arms around his tall form. Force of habit.
Why is this wench doing this? He thought. Oh well, is doesn't seem to be a bother. She's warm… Why didn't my brother care for her?
"Come," he said, turning away from her grasp upon him, "We will wait until they leave, if you want you may go back to your time and meet me here, if not, follow me, you should meet Rin and Jaken."
Kagome was a bit puzzled, who is Rin? The small girl I remember once?
She said in her head. She quickly sped up to his pace, "Oh, by the way," she started, Sesshomaru looked at her, "I'm Kagome… but two things."
Sesshomaru rose an eyebrow.
"I will not be answered to by wench or bitch. Ever." She looked at him sternly in the eye, saying that she's serious.
Sesshomaru bit back his amused glint, amused by what his idiot brother called her. This will be interesting, he said in his head.
They walked into the moonlight, side-by-side, not saying a word, but both thinking the same thing.
...What will this end up as?
Taa-daa! New REVISED Chapterone of Love and Ice! YAY! Please tell me if it's better, I hated it the day I posted it because I was too much in a rush to do so. I had little time, I just emailed it and bam! Crap! I wanted to scream. It was too messy…. Thanks again to CreepyKikyou for her constructive criticism. When I got another review it reminded I'd better do the first chapter. And it's been redone again. I found my other version of it again. I like it way better then before.
