Chapter Two
Sesshomaru sat at the edge of the bed and watched Kagome. She writhed in pain, slipping in and out of consciousness as the she changed into a youkai. Her hair was becoming lighter as it was the fifth day in the change. What used to be jet black hair was now such a light brown, it was crossing over into blonde.
Her eyes, when she opened them were becoming purple. Faint stripes were outlined on her cheeks. They matched Sesshomaru's in color as did the crescent moon already quite prominent on her forehead. Sesshomaru placed a cold cloth on Kagome's head and uncovered her. The healer's said the best he could do was wait for the marks to become full and her to come back into consciousness.
Sesshomaru sat with Kagome for hours, she never stopped whimpering and his beast was demanding he do something to make her relax. In the seven hours he sat there, Kagome's marking became darker, though not full matching Sesshomaru's. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. "Sesshomaru" She whispered blood fell from her lips. "Yes my mate" He walked up to her and carefully wiped the blood away from her chin.
"I want to go to the gardens. I wish to see the flowers" She quietly requested. "Yes my mate" He nodded. Taking his mokomoko-sama (his boa thing) he wrapped it around Kagome's frail body and lifted her up. She wrapped her arms and legs loosely around him and they made their way to the gardens. Sesshomaru sat down on a stone bench with Kagome in his lap.
"Could you leave please? I want to be alone. And you need rest" She smiled sweetly. Sesshomaru nodded and went back into the castle. Kagome propped herself against the tree behind the bench and closed her eyes. She let the scent of the flowers tickle her nose. She listened to the small pond water slosh against the grass a bit.
She fell into a light sleep, at peace in the garden. A sudden noise shook her awake. It sounded like swords crashing together before there were several screams. Kagome buried her head into the mokomoko-sama and lay down on the bench. She was quite scared of whatever was trying to break in but she didn't have the strength to run back inside.
There was a sound of someone jumping over the stone wall. Kagome lifted her eyes and saw the last person she expected. 'Inuyasha' her mind whispered. Of course, her new beast would not here of it. This disgrace trespassing on her mates lands! It struggled against its restraints. More people jumped over the wall, and Kagome saw through one slit of her eye it was Sango and Miroku.
"You are not supposed to be in here" Kagome piped up in a quiet voice. Inuyasha barely heard her as it was so quiet. "Who the fucks are you?!" He yelled. Kagome flinched from how loud he was, and the fact Inuyasha obviously couldn't recognize her. She could understand though, purple eyes (which she loves) and light brown hair, a far cry from her brown eyes and jet black hair. "Who I am is none of your concern at the moment. However, Sesshomaru-sama will be most displeased if you went into his castle so unannounced. If you used the front gate, I'm sure he would be more than happy to answer your questions" Kagome smiled sincerely.
"Keh! How about you stay where you are and keep your mouth shut!" Inuyasha growled. Kagome frown slightly. She could feel another wave of pain coming. "I cannot allow you to pass, half-breed. My lord will be most displeased with me" Kagome whispered, blood slipping from her lips. Her breathing was becoming labored and even Sango and Miroku could hear it.
Sango grabbed Hiraikotsu, moving into a fighting stance. Miroku had already thrown an ofuda at Kagome, to paralyze her. The paper hit her arm before falling to the ground. "Foolish monk. Spiritual powers will not affect me. I cannot be purified" Kagome gave small smile. Blood slipped from her lips again and Kagome felt the waves of pain crash through her abdomen.
She gasped loudly and clutched her stomach as she squeezed her eyes shut in pain. She breathed deeply until it subsided. She opened her eyes to see Sango had put down Hiraikotsu and Inuyasha was looking uneasy. "Hanyou, what is it you wish to ask Sesshomaru-sama" Kagome asked, this time swallowing the blood that flowed into her mouth.
"It's none of your concern!" He yelled. "If you wish to 'sneak in', you should lower your voice before many more guards come" She suggested. "As for your question not being my concern, I am Sesshomaru's mate. All matters will come back to me as it is. And if I should get word of a situation before my mate, I will inform. Since he is not present, you will tell me" Kagome snapped softly.
"Sesshomaru would never take a mate!" Inuyasha shook his head childishly. Kagome pulled her arm free of the mokomoko-sama and tilted her head so her mating mark was in full view. It was scarring over into a silver crescent moon. "Is this enough proof for you, since your nose obviously couldn't smell him on me and your eyes couldn't see his mokomoko-sama wrapped around me" She sneered sarcastically.
"Well, if you must know what I need, where the hell is Kagome?!" Inuyasha demanded snidely. "I won't release any information with that attitude" Kagome replied with the same snide voice. Sango released a small giggle. Kagome eyes quickly flicked her eyes over to Sango, effectively silencing her.
"Now, Inuyasha means no harm, he's just very easily ruffled. "Miroku, the peacemaker stepped in. "Monk, do not come into my home, kill my guards, sneak into my garden, and attempt to attack and then say you meant no harm. It is a lie and my patience is wearing thin with you all" Kagome's eyes flashed dangerously as she growled in a low voice.
Sango sneered slightly at what she thought was another youkai and not her best friend. "Is there something you wish to say, slayer?" Kagome turned her head. "Yeah, I can see why Sesshomaru picked you as his mate, you're just as uptight as he is" She snorted. "Get out of my house. My mate and I no not of this Kagome you speak. Leave before I call someone" Kagome hissed.
"You wait a minute! I know you know something about her! I can smell your lie. Tell me something or I'll kill you!" Inuyasha charged at Kagome. She laughed suddenly. It was a hearty, rich laugh. "Hanyou, do you really think I would give you any information just because you threatened my life? If anything, that would get you nowhere because I wouldn't give you any information in my death? Threatening my life will do nothing for you. I suggest you stop your futile attempts to intimidate me" Kagome growled.
He put his sword down. "I want to see Sesshomaru" He demanded with a pout. "Or what?" She challenged. "I won't leave until he sees me" Inuyasha barked. "Stay here all night and day if you want to. Stay throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter, we shall tell you nothing until you leave my garden, go around to the front gates and ask politely to see Sesshomaru" Kagome said in a clipped tone.
Inuyasha growled. He jumped over the stone wall again, Sango and Miroku following. When they left, Kagome felt a surge of pride for keeping in character and not following her emotions. The prickling of youki brought her back to her surroundings. It was so familiar, mischievous and playful. "Shippou, come out now" Kagome ordered softly.
"Okaa-san?" He whispered as he came fro behind a tree. "It is me Shippou. What are you doing here?" She furrowed her eyebrows. "I was following Inuyasha. When we got here, he said Sesshomaru probably killed you already. But, I picked up your scent. I wasn't supposed to go, but I snuck in with Sango while you were distracted and hid. I knew it was you even if dumb Inuyasha couldn't tell" Shippou cried as he walked toward Kagome.
She pulled her other arm free of the mokomoko-sama and held them open for Shippou. He hopped into her lap and she cuddles him into her breasts. "Shippou, I never meant to leave you alone. How have they been treating you?" Kagome coed softly as she stroked his tail.
"Inuyasha is mean as always, Sango is always yelling at both Miroku and Inuyasha, sometimes she yells at Miroku for trying to calm her down. It's been really bad since you've been gone. Inuyasha is still stealing my food from me" He pouted. "The worst part is Kikyou joined the group. Inuyasha said she could because he loves her, but I think it's to take your place. Mama, please come back" Shippou pleaded with tears streaking his cheeks.
"Shippou, I have new responsibilities. I cannot abandon them. You will simply have to live here with me" Kagome smiled. Shippou looked up at her and smiled.
"Milady! Milady!" A servant came running into the garden. "Yes?" Kagome raised her face and beamed at the maid. "Lord Sesshomaru is calling for you" She bowed. "Could you help me please? I'm a bit too weak to get up correctly" Kagome smiled a bit embarrassedly. The maid took Kagome's hand in one of hers and grabbed Kagome's waist.
She hoisted her up and the two, plus Shippou walked to Kagome's chambers. Sesshomaru was sitting at his desk waiting. The maid helped Kagome lean on some of the stacked pillows and left. Shippou climbed onto Kagome's legs and leaned gently on her stomach. "Miko. Why was this Sesshomaru not informed that the half-breed had snuck into the House of the Moon?" Sesshomaru asked in an icy tone.
"I handled it. He killed the wall guards and jumped over the garden wall. I asked him what he wanted but he got all rude about it and I told him to go to the front gate like a normal being would and maybe you might see him" Kagome rushed the words out of her mouth.
"He is becoming quite troublesome. Did you tell him who you were?" Sesshomaru sighed. "No .I kept it secret. Only my kit knows and he will be staying with us. I'm worried for him" Kagome frowned. "Very well, he shall share a room with Rin. I will have Jaken escort him to his quarters later on. In the mean time, you will dress and accompany me downstairs to see the half-breed" Sesshomaru drawled in a tone that held no room for arguments.
Kagome nodded. "Your name…is Komari" He decided.
"Okay. They are waiting for us" He continued. Sesshomaru stood up from his desk and walked gracefully to the door. "Would I be able to come down later? I need rest" Kagome yawned. Her voice was soft and raspy. "Hai. Call a maid to help you down stairs" He nodded before sliding the shoji screen open and stalking out of the room.
Kagome sighed as she lay back. "Mama, why are you here?" Shippou whispered. "Well, do you remember that kumo-youkai that attacked?" She paused for his nod. "Well, when I took the jewel shard, he hit me back and I flew through the trees and was about to die…When Sesshomaru saved me by making me his mate." She continued before coughing. "Can I stay here with you…For ever?" Shippou asked innocently.
"Of course you can…I love you…But let me get some rest now so I can be cheerful enough to give you all of my love" Kagome smiled tiredly. Shippou snuggled into her side, relaxing so he could sleep too. Kagome kissed the top of his head before closing her eyes.
OoOoOoOoOo
Sesshomaru was led into his meeting room by Jaken. He sat on a purple and wood couch at the wall and waited for his half-brother. "Jaken let them in" He ordered with a wave of his hand. The imp scurried out of the room through the shoji screen on the other side before leading the inu-tachi into the room. Sango and Miroku took seats at the sofa opposite Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha simply stood with his hand twitching on Tetsuaiga. Kirara bounded into the room and pounced into Sango's lap. Sesshomaru's face held slight disgust at the neko-demon. "The cat must leave" He demanded. "If she goes, we go" Sango scoffed. "Slayer, you are the ones questioning this Sesshomaru, not the other way around. You are in no position to make threats. I suggest you make the cat leaves or this Sesshomaru will not release his information" Sesshomaru sneered.
Sango scowled slightly but took Kirara out of the room. "Hanyou, sit so we may talk" He ordered. "Keh! I'm not doing anything you tell me. I just want to know what happened to Kagome" He growled. "Please, lower your voice. My mate is sleeping" Sesshomaru drawled.
"She is not anymore" A soft, angelic voice came from behind Sesshomaru. He inclined his head to her. "Forgive me Sesshomaru-sama I did not mean to interrupt you" She bowed slightly, still far too stiff and sore to go anymore. "It is alright my mate. Come so we may continue this meeting" He beckoned her with his hand. She came slowly, walking as if she were in pain.
She stiffly sat next to Sesshomaru before relaxing against the back of the sofa. She sighed as the pain went from her body. Kagome snuggled deeper into the mokomoko-sama already wrapped around her so that her face was covered except for her nose and eyes.
Sango furrowed her eyebrows together. Sesshomaru was being so nice to this demon. It was as if she held a power over him. She didn't understand how he could have any other emotion besides annoyed, and cruel. "She has you under a spell! That's why she is immune to the ofuda!" Sango gasped.
Everyone looked at her as though she were crazy. "Slayer, is there something you wish to say about this Sesshomaru's mate? No one has permitted you to speak" Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her. "No…It's just why are you being so nice to her? You are never nice!" Sango stuttered out. "Do not speak of things you don't know of…Something you should know of however is… a certain someone sneaking in with you" Kagome quirked an eyebrow.
She gently slipped an arm through the mokomoko-sama, holding what looked life an orange fur ball. "Shippou!" Miroku gasped.
OoOoOoOoOo
Okay, a somewhat cliffie! I'm sure some of you don't understand the humor in this story. But basically it's one of those ironic things. You know, Inuyasha is looking for Kagome and she right in front of him! I find that funny! I'm a sadist. Shit! Even Shippou knew it was Kagome! It's also funny because Kagome is so…Sesshomaru like. She's very stand offish in a way which adds to the hype. Okay enough about my sadistic humor. I hoped you liked this. I'll try to update soon!
