Chapter two: Mistake.

Dawn broke the night sky, it chased the lingering night. Birds welcomed the rising sun, hopes for a good day. Morning air threaten many with damp and chilly air, brushing softly agents the living. Life in this era was in the wake of a new day. It was more peaceful now, no need to have any worries.

Snuggling close to warmth, her breath was small and hot. Her body had not yet felt the pain that was closing in soon. Her dream was quiet and peaceful; nightmares didn't chase her for once. Slowly but sadly she pulled from her dreams. She felt something snuggle her, bringing her warmth. Her head pounded as she remembered drinking a little too much the night before.

"Shippo, why are you so warm?" Kagome grumbled, as she tried to roll away only to be stopped by strong arms. Kagome's eyes fluttered open to see who had her within their grasps. Sky blue met golden eyes, breathing seem to thicken as time slowed around her.

"Why do you fear? Do you fear this Sesshomaru?' He scanned her face; he held the stone cold wall he had always had. Only thing that seemed off about him was him holding her close. Along with his pelt around her body. He had dressed her once she passed out, he would of left her beautiful body open for him to see. Yet the risk of another male stumbling along to see only enraged him, he would not allow such a thing.

"Why are cuddling with me?.." Kagome tried to move, she didn't put much energy into it. She waited for his answer, during that time her blush repapered to dance on her cheeks.

"Because your make to be." He spoke as nothing else changed. His eyes poured into hers. He watched as the blush turned to a deep red. Not shortly after he felt her anger, he moved to sit up, still holding onto her. Unknowing she was going to jerk away, Kagome's mind raced with thoughts. Lost and not understanding. She did not think about the pain her body was in. Standing on her feet quickly she was already falling back to the earth. Waiting for impact of the dirt, squeezing her eyes knowing there was no time to try and break the fall. It seemed like minutes to fall, yet it was only seconds and strong arms found her. Holding her so she did not kiss the dirt, Kagome refused to open her eyes. Once again she found herself in the arms of Sesshomaru. Pain shot through her body once more, this time taking her breath along with it. Tears threaten to fall, her hands knotted into Sesshomaru's cloth. Holding back the cries her lungs wanted to give. Someone was ripping her apart, she believe death could not even hurt this bad. Sesshomaru knew she was in dying pain, pulling her up into his arms he nuzzled her neck. His tongue licking the mark he left. It was just a bite mark, it was a sign of mate to be, not mate yet. It soothed her a little. Just enough for her to catch her breath before the next wave of pain come crashing onto her chest.

"Rest. This Sesshomaru will return you to your camp."

His beast growled to not leave his mate to be with the half breed. Yet he knew he had to, he could not bring her with him for a while. He also had a lot to think about, his beast was now out once more. He was happy the Miko did what he said. Or she passed out from the pain, either way her body was getting more rest. He headed out for the camp; it was not too far off from the lake. For a few minutes he jumped from the trees with grace. He did not want to bother the sleeping Miko in his arms. Touching down to the camp he seen everyone had moved on. Her stuff still where it was from the night before. Sesshomaru could only growl and feel disgust building in him. Even though Kagome was his mate to be, he would never leave a pack member behind.

He quickly gathered her things and headed out for the village with his speed he made it no time. Finding the hut from the smell of her fellow pack members. He made no knock he stood infront of hut filled with people. Inuyasha was the first to stand and bitch.

"Oi Bastard what the hell are you doing here!" Inuyasha barked his hand ready to draw his sword, but stopped remembering they were inside the hut. Sesshomaru could not careless what the half breed brother had to say. He held Kagome in his arms, He did not bother asking if the Miko was ok.

"Inuyasha, If you were not so busy rutting with your clay common whore, you would notice you left the living Miko behind." Sesshomaru stated as he found a clear corner for her to lay. Removing his pelt he, laid the Miko on it. Making sure she was not to wake while moving her. Ignoring the rants from the half breed behind him.

"Old miko, this Sesshomaru quests you make a tea from herbs to numb body pain. Are you able to do so?" Out of anyone here besides Kagome, she was the only one he would give some respect to. She gave him a nod and headed out to find herbs to brew. Sesshomaru made his turn to leave, not answering anyone. Nor telling when or if he will be back.

x.x.x

In her wake she could feel others around her. The warmth she once felt smothered her, was Sesshomaru still next to her?. The heart rate sped up as she left the world of dreaming far behind. Her eyes cracked open to see she was now in the hut. Everyone seem to be staring at her, it seemed tense. Racking her brain on how she got here, and if anyone knew anything. Giving a small grunt she opened her eyes and moved. The pain wasn't as bad as the first encounter with it was. Yet she couldn't deny that fact it still lingered.

"Ye have awakened I see." A soft old voice cooed to her, she knew it very well. Kagome gave a nod as she lifted herself to lean agents the old wood. Kagome noted the old woman was stirring something, placing the hot liquid into a cup. Kagome didn't ask, nor look at anyone else who seemed to want to hit her or ask a million questions.

"Ye must drink this child. Lord Sesshomaru has requested it before he had headed out."

Kagome whispered a small thanks and took the cup in her hands. The deep brown liquid squirmed in the cup. Taking small sips of the warm liquid, making sure not to burn her self. The taste was not to enjoyable. But she was finishing it away way. Handing the cup back she took note that the pain was fading. Mental note to give her thanks him, next time she seen him. Yanked from her thought, she meets the gaze of a very angry Inuyasha. She knew this was going to happen, holding her breath for a moment to ready herself for the fight that was about to come.

"Inuyasha, I know what you're going to say.." Her voice was soft, lased with stress. Hoping he would get the hint to not start right now. He banished her wish, it was Inuyasha after all. Why should she get her hopes up in knowing he would push them down into the dirt?.

"So you were fucking my brother. I can smell him all over your damn body!" His voice was rising, pairs of eyes laid between the two. Already knowing the direction of the conversion she moved herself from the hut. Leaving behind Sesshomaru's pelt and a fuming Inuyasha ready to follow. The day was nice, the sun beating down with a low rustle of wind to cool off. Her feet moved slowly, she had nowhere to go and time to waste. She noticed that she had a lot of time lately; there was no more running around to do. All she could do now was wonder and help people out or maybe just go back home. It wasn't even momment's later when Inuyasha rushed from the hut to meet her side. Kagome bothered not to look at him .Her heart swelled with pain enough; being kicked while she was down would not help her dying heart. Her eyes wondered to the blue skies above, she was ready for whatever Inuyasha had to say to her. Knowing nothing kind would come from his mouth, for he was not one to comfort or care for another besides himself.

"Say it." Her voice was low like before, this time without the stress it was replaced by anger. She had took the fuming half breed off track. His eye's lingered on her face for a spilt moment. Until he finally grasped back to his normal anger.

"What?" His voice was calmer, yet he did not bother to hide the anger that was dripping from his voice.

"Did you not hear me Inuyasha? I said say it. I know you want to insult me and hurt me more than I already am. So best be quick I do not want to keep you from your new girlfriend." Kagome's head turned to meet his gaze. Her eyes aloud the pain to creep through. To show him what he was doing to her. 'Friends?' , that was funny she thought bitterly. She could see the struggle for words from her old friend.

"What goes on between me and Kikyo is no one's business. Funny how I moved on in my life and you run to any man who would take you. I thought you had some respect, but it is clear you're just a common whore. This is the reason why Kikyo will always be better than you, and stronger. I need a mate who will be strong . Not one who puts herself in danger. Sesshomaru only rutted with you because he needed to spill his seed. You were nothing but a pussy to him. That is the reason why he left. Your sent is deep in his pelt. ONLY reason why he left it with you .He did not tell us he was coming back he dropped you off and left. Hoping you would die so the mark on your neck would go away and he is free." Inuyasha spat he yanked his eyes away from her, he held the hurt back. He knew he was hurting her and stabbed her in the heart again. Yet the anger only grew within him, he was no longer holding back. Kagome turned her head and looked to the grass. The battle in her had begun, the tears wanted to fall, yet her pride held them back. Never will she allow him to see how bad the wound he inflicted on her, or the pain that was growing. She looked at him one last time with a weak smile placed on her shaken lips.

"Your right Inuyasha." Her voice was weak, for a moment she thought she would lose it. Her body was gathering all the energy it could so she wouldn't fall to her knees.

"W-what did you just say?" Never before did he hear her just take the insult and roll over. The girl he knew for years seemed to change, was it for the better? 'Most likely not.' He thought to himself.

"I said Inuyasha , you are right. For I am a foolish girl only to have had her hopes high. Yet not only did you turn me away, Sesshomaru had used me only for his need. I thought maybe he did care. He was my little secret. Think ill of me Inuyasha, for I am no longer needed in this era. And it is my time to return. I shall make a wish on the jewel in two weeks time. I will return. But know this Inuyasha. You may think of me as some low whore. Yet for years you were the holder of my heart. You abused it every way. I moved on, why love another if the feelings will only be ignored. For a while I knew my love for you would be hopeless. It was only a dream, and seeing that it was only a dream I had to grow up. Yes I won't deny I was hurt by Kikyo , and only wish you two the best of your guys life. For I won't stand in the way of true love. It hurt me to let you go, but it pains more for you to turn and hurt me every moment you can get. Remember Inuyasha, I pulled the arrow from your chest. And stood by your side. I never wanted to change you because I had loved you for you. Never would I make you change because you have reason to. You are perfect, with one flaw. Not caring for others and it is not your fault your nightmare past is to blame. So I won't hold you to this flaw." Her wall broke as a tear slid down her cheeks her eyes never left his as she spoke. His eyes were wide; she had just told him how much she had loved him. And let herself hurt for him to be happy. It felt as though someone hit him with a brick. Before he could even think of anything to say Kagome moved to him. Her hands grabbed him and drew him in. Her lips met his, only to get a shocked response. It took a few seconds to understand what was going on around him. Kagome was kissing him. His eyes dropped as he returned his kiss, his mind was working for him. Just as quickly as the kiss came it was over. Inuyasha felt a rip from his neck. Kagome leaned closer to him her voice low and saddened.

'You're free. Live be happy. You will always be my first love' Her voice was a whisper; his necklace was on the ground, Kagome nowhere in sight. How did she leave so fast? Pain hit his heart as he recalled the last few minutes. He picked the necklace from the ground, the beads glittered in the sun. He had this around his neck for years. It was the one thing that held Kagome to him. Now it was gone. He was consumed in his thoughts it wasn't till Kikyo came to him, he hands resting on his arm.

"Inuyasha are you troubled?" Her voice was soft , she looked worried for her love. He didn't turn to look at her. He only gave a soft nod. For once he did not want to feel the touch of his soon to be mate. He wanted to run off and kill anything. He wanted to clear his head. Inuyasha knew he couldn't do it at the moment. He allowed Kikyo to guide him back to the hut with others. Kikyo had replaced the bright loving, breathing Kagome.

'Maybe I made a mistake.'

x.x.x

The wall house was dark, it was night time. Kagome stood lost as her eyes locked to the well. She did not pass through the bone eaters well. It was if the breeze carried her here, knowing the pain that lurked in her heart. Or maybe it was just her time to come back to her home. Not knowing if the well would allow her to pass. She would try in two weeks just as she promised. Stepping from the old well house, to find her home dark it seemed no one was home or everyone was sleeping. Moving into her home and lurking around to see any sign of her family, none. Letting her sigh push out she went to make her some food, she needed something fill her to stop the growling.

She was finally able to let everything sink in and aloud to think everything out.

'Was Inuyasha right? The way he looked at me can fight that. . I think. . or was it just lust. The first wake I seen him snuggle to me, the next time I was left alone with so called friends that held anger towards her now. He never seemed to want her, he was just there for her when she snuck off. And helped them fight in the final batter. She had lost her virginity to a man who her fillings were mixed and most likely not even returned.' Kagome's fingers ran over the numb spot on her neck. He had bit her after sex which meant a mate mark. 'Mate to be.'. His words hit her like a car, blowing her over and punched her in the gut.

'He must hate me now, and I wouldn't blame him. Who am I? Just a human just a miko. Mikos and demons do not mix well. She was not of his class, being his mate would only shame him to no end. Only making him hate her more. Could this mark be removed, it would help both of them. Get them out of this mess that flipped them both upside down.

Two weeks later.

The silver hair blew in the wind as the tall framed man walked with grace down a path towards the village. He did not go off far, he couldn't leave the poor girl alone. Her scent was gone, he tried hard to find her. Knowing that with the days passing by she must be upset. Knowing how she was she must be going crazy. Thinking he used her for sexual matter. Part of it was true, other part was she pulled his beast back alive. He would be lying if he said he did not enjoy it, and that she didn't cross his mind. After their little night cap she never left his mind. He refused to think he had any feelings for her. She was a human and nothing more than that. He was going to find her and try to fix what was to be done.

x.x.x

Tears hit the lip of the well as her hands held tightly to it, her eyes stared down the well. She could feel the energy tugging for her to go in, she was fighting back. She didn't want to go; she did not want to see the faces that were waiting on the other side. Death should come soon to her, she could feel it. Her eyes closed when she felt to warm hands resting on her shoulder. She knew who they belonged to. It was her mother. For the past two weeks her mother shared her pain, and cooed her to sleep every night. . Never leaving her side. Her mother trying to fix the shattered heart of her daughter. It had pained her that she had to go through with this. Kagome turned to push her fast in her mother's chest holding tightly to her shirt refusing to move. Her sobs soaked her shirt with stains of her tears. Her mother hushed her as her hand ran through her long black hair as she didn't seem to mind the tears soaking her shirt. Kissing lightly onto her head.

"Ill be here when you return, You must go and finish what you have started. You are strong, you must talk to him Kagome, and you must. It will be the first step to heal." Her mother's voice was warm and soft. Kagome knew she was right. She just didn't want to do it at all she wanted to hide from the world and just lay in self pity with her mother.

After a few long minutes Kagome stepped from her mother, tucking her ipod into her pocket she covered her scent, and her era. She did not want people rushing to her just yet. Looking back to her mother's loving eyes she jumped into the bone eaters well. Allowing the magic to swell around her floating her five hundred years in the past. No matter how many times she travled through the well she never got used to its power. Landing softly on the other side she seen clear skies above. Taking her time to climb out of the well she looked around. She loved the beauty of the land she would miss it all once she leaves. Her thoughts went back to the jewel what was she to wish for. Was she going to let Inuyasha wish Kikyo alive again?. She should and then she could leave to move on with her life and they could do the same. Pulling hey ipod out, placing her headphones in. She turned a song on, walking slowly in the grass heading for the village. Since it was nice everyone would be out getting their chores done for the day quickly.

Heading in the hut, she noted everyone was there. There would be no need to wait, Kagome looked at everyone. Noting the sadness in both Inuyasha's and Miroku's eyes. Sitting down she seen Sesshomaru's pelt was still in the far corner. Inuyasha must be right, Sesshomaru did not return to get it. Brushing him from her mind she wanted to get this over. Already shoving her ipod away she pulled the jewel from her shirt. Hidden away from anyway, it hung from the necklace she had once hard the shards hanging from.

"How have ye been child?" Her voice holding care for the young girl infront of her. Kagome gave a half hearted smile to the old woman. She looked at her as a grandma, she would be missed once she returned. Years between the two made them close.

"I've been good." Even if it was a lie, it didn't matter to her. She did not want their pity or having to go into why she was so upset. The less she had to say the better. Waiting for someone to take over with talking she looked at the pink little purl. For years this thing had her all over Japan, fighting for her life, bring friends together, seeing death blood gore, and made her end up here. It made her happy and sad at the same time. Every bad thing comes with an upside. It was weird to think about you can wish anything you want by this tiny little thing. The power pulsed in accepting the owner. It was pure the evil had faded away and it was once back to normal.

"You will have to make the wish Kagome, choose wisely for everyone." Kikyo spoke looking at Kagome. If she could have it her way she would stay the protector and be able to be the one to make a wish. Yet she gave that up over fifty years ago, along with her short life. Kagome caught what she didn't say. And what no one else caught. Kagome sighed, she always was the one giving up something, and she worked so hard for this. And messed up her life so much to be the one in the end wishing for someone else. Was this wrong thought? Was greed touching her soul?. Before she could make a wish Inuyasha let out a snarl. Jumping a little Kagome looked up to see she was not the one he snarled at. Glancing around she felt it, it was him. He closed in on the village silent but fast. In a matter of the eye she felt herself tugged up rather roughly. Looking up at the clawed hand around her hand she knew the owner, a little too well.

"Ses-sesshomaru? What are you doing here?" Kagome tried to calm herself along with her unsteady heart beat. Not daring to pull away she looked into his golden eyes. Even with his mask on she could tell there was something in his eyes. Ignoring it she waits for an answer, or someone to say something.

"Get your hands off her you bastard. Didn't you get your fill !" Inuyasha snapped as he stood up ready to attack at any moment. By this time everyone was on their feet. Waiting for something to happen between the three. Sesshomaru shot a glare towards his brother before turning back to the Miko he still held onto.

"This Sesshomaru has come to talk to the Miko. This does not concern you mutt." He spat. As he started to take the Miko outside. He had no time for his brother's trash talk or a itch for a fight. Yet he knew this would not be easy he could feel the mutt following. Letting the her go he turned, not wanting the miko hurt in his brothers childish act.

"Leave her alone, she has better things to do than hang around you." Inuyasha yelled Kagome looked between the two. This was not what she wanted, she wanted to finish her task and go home for good. Not wanting to deal with this time period anymore. Yet her hopes never risen knowing Inuyasha wouldn't leave them alone. She would listen to Sesshomaru, than go back and make the wish and return home.

"She is my mate to be, I have the right to speak with her when I please. So leave us." His voice kept getting colder. Even though he spoke no ill towards her she could feel the ice in his voice. She still couldn't get over the fact she was his mate to be. Before she could see what was going on she felt her self lifted. Feeling as though she was flying she opened her eyes to see she had been flung and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were at it. Seeing no one was going to catch her she waits till she kissed the dirt. Landing hard her body rolled rocks and sticks ripping at her skin. Blood coming out from the cuts, she grunted as she waited a moment before she tried to push herself up , only to find a sharp pain in her side. She rolled to her back to look to the sky, hearing the cursing from Inuyasha she sighed. Why was she always in the middle getting hurt. Her heart yanked. 'Kikyo will always be stronger. I need a mate that is strong.' Tears stung her eyes, she wouldn't cry right now. Chocking them back she heard feet running to her. It was Sango her face for once in a long time looked worried for her.

"Oh my Kagome! Are you ok? You looked like a rag doll flying.!" Sango studied her over, helping her sit up. It was then tears fell from her eyes as a cry pushed from her lips. Holding her side she felt the air knock from her.

"Kagome! Whats wrong!" Sango couldn't see anything on the outside. Maybe she hurt one of her ribs or organs. Sango might of somewhat forgot about her friend. Yet that did not mean she did not care for her as a sister. Kagome leaned on Sango, her breath short. She was trying not to think of the pain, closing her eyes she pushed the pain away. Letting her self go, her mask slipped and her scent came back. Making two males stop in their tracks. Last thing she had seen was Sesshomaru rushing to her, his arms out.

X.x.x

"Ye are lucky you didn't kill her, or your pup. She is for sure with child." Kaedespoke softly. She couldn't believe it, yet this was the new fate of the young girl. Sesshomaru's mind never had so many rushing thoughts as he looked at Kagome. Everyone was in shock. Kagome was still asleep, her body resting ,and some herbs helped her thanks to Kaede.

"I will fetch dinner." No one stopped him not Inuyasha either. He knew what his brother needed some time to get out and kill something. Inuyasha was the one who the most upset. He couldn't even think how upset Kagome is. He wished she didn't wake up, not wishing her dead. Just knowing what she would have to deal with when she wakes. After Sesshomaru left Sango moved to Kagome's side. Guilt filled her, Knowing she wasn't there for her friend. She had failed, coming closer to Kikyo and forgetting her. Sango didn't even know what she was doing, it felt as if a spell was in her.

"How many pups?" Inuyasha asked, his eyes never left Kagome since they found out. He could tell Kikyo was mad yet stayed silent. He didn't really care at the moment what she felt.

"It is commen with a full blood Inu to have two or three. Yet since she is human she could only have one. Depends." Kaede spoke. Leaving out some info she did not want to share right now. Making others panic would not be best. Inuyasha didn't speak, he just kept his eyes on her. Kagome was pregnant by his brother. Her fate was not mixed up. Anger hit him hard knowing if he did not give her up none of this would have happened. He hated himself, and Kikyo was to blame. 'Should of stayed dead, it would have been best. You messed everyone's life up.' He didn't know when he became so bitter, he just knew it kept growing.

After a little while Kagome had awoken. Knowing she was caught, her heart raced. Moving a little she noticed everyone looking at her. Kagome sighed she knew they wanted to know. Yet she didn't want to talk about it. All she wanted to do was leave, she just had to find a way.

"How are you feeling Kagome?" Sango asked, right by her side.

"Better thanks. I just need some fresh air. Where is Sesshomaru?" Kagome gave a small smile with hoping Sesshomaru had run off to his home. K

"He went out to hunt for dinner." Miroku spoke up. Kagome nodded and she stood, Biting back the bile wanting to come out of her mouth.

"Ill be back just need to take a walk. ." Praying no one wanted to come or make her stay. After a nod she headed out. Closing the beads behind her, she looked back one last time. Taking it in, she sighed looking around for Sesshomaru. When he was not spotted she hurried off to the well. Allowing her legs to carry her as fast they could. Biting down the sickness growing in her, she moved around trees her hands out to push back any branches in her way. Her breath panted as she viewed the bone eaters well. Her heart beat in her ears, she was almost there..'Home. .For good' Her legs trying to rush faster, she pumped harder. Wind pushing her hair back, a few feet away to jump into the well.

Stopped.

Cold hard hands grabbed her yanking her from the well. A loud growl ripping in the air, golden eyes met sky blue, this time the golden was tainting with blood red. Her heart beat quickened as her breaths thinned.

"Where you trying to leave, with this Sesshomaru's pup?" He growled and yanked her. Kagome trying to ignore the pain rising in her body. Fear spiked his nose, stress building up. That was not a good sign, he let out a sigh and let her go. His eyes fading back to the golden color. He was ready to grab her if she tried to run again.

"I – i- I just want to go home. ." Tears fell now, knowing she wouldn't be going home. He ignored the tears, he wasn't happy about this either. He would let her go if she was not with child, his child.

"This Sesshomaru will not allow it. You will become mate. " He growled.

This is the start , or the end. Pain, a lot of pain would begin.
