Chapter 3
I hated this party with a burning passion. Hojo was flirting with Aine like there was no tomorrow, Sota and Ayame were mingling and trying so hard to not criticizes on people's clothes, Kagura and Koga were getting as drunk as possible while also trying to dance, Sango was dancing with Miroku and they were both failing miserable, and finally Kanna was with me and we were pretty much wall flowers, But the part I hated so much was that every once and while I would look up to see Sesshomaru giving me the evilest glare in the world.
Kanna say this and would give me a concerned look, I would just turn and smile at her, hiding the pain I was feeling inside my heart. I could tell she didn't believe me, Kanna was always the one who figured out that I was lying.
"Kagome do you know what the other meaning of this party is?"
"All I know is that this party is for his coronation."
"And it is for his engagement to Lady Kikyo, daughter of Lord Naraku." That was when everything began to make sense. Lady Kikyo was finishing what her father started and Sesshomaru was only getting the throne because he was marring her. It hurt to know that he become more of a bastard then I had imagined.
I told Kanna that I needed some fresh air. I moved passed the crowds and went to the balcony. I smelled the salty sea air, and missed the wide open ocean that I called home. That was when I felt a pair of eyes staring a hole into my back. I turned around to meet the cold eyes of a long time friend. I could tell that I was going to have to explain what I have been doing for the past 12 years. He grabbed my shoulders and shoved me into the wall and not very nicely either.
"Where have you been?" Sesshomaru asked with hatred in his voice.
"I…I was…I got married to a rich man from the west." Sesshomaru let go of me and I saw for a split second a tear run down his face, but as soon as it came it was gone. He looked up at me with a burning hatred in his eyes.
"WHAT! And you think it's okay for come back here."
"This is still my home and you have no right to tell me where I can go or not." I retaliated, but I never won the arguments with him.
"I am the king now so I have every right to tell you." This is when I had enough of him; I walked up to him and slapped him across the face. I lowered my head, because I didn't want him to see me cry. I was so angry at him; I wished I never came back. That was when I felt to strong arms pull me into a hug. I felt so safe, but I knew that he was just playing with me.
I tried to pull away, except he pulled me in closer. I knew that if we stayed like this people would get suspicious. So when I pulled away from him and almost successful got away, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me back. I was expecting to be in another one of his bear hugs but instead he kissed. I could feel all the passion, happiness, and joy he put in his kiss and I couldn't resist. I kissed him back with the same amount of passion. I lost all control of my body and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I have missed you so much, Kagome." Sesshomaru said in a seductive voice.
When we finally separated from each other I noticed we had gained an audience. As I realized what had happened I let go of Sesshomaru and ran for my life. I grabbed Sango, Miroku, and Aine and ran for the door.
We got outside as I ordered for our carriage to brought around. The carriage got here when Sesshomaru came running out to catch us. I pushed everyone into the carriage and got in myself. I ordered for the driver to take us to the dock as fast as he could. We got there in pretty fast, but when we got out his carriage was pulling up.
I ordered everyone to get on the ship. I stood alone waiting for the storm to come, but instead I was pulled away by Miroku onto the ship. I didn't understand why Miroku saved me, until I saw that everyone from the party had followed and that they were all looking at the ship. They realized that the ship we were getting on was a pirate's vessel. Sesshomaru had figured out what we were.
I knew that know I would be hunted down like a dog. So I thought 'what the heck, I have nothing left to lose.'
"I am Kagome Higurashi, Daughter of Lord Sakuya Higurashi, and I am the dreaded Pirate King."
They all looked at me, some woman fainted, but the person who I cared about was looking right at me. I let a single tear run down my face and mouthed to Sesshomaru 'I am so sorry.'
We set sail after that moment, Sango knew that I wasn't I the stable mood to sail a ship, so she took over. Aine walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.
"I can never go back can I?"
"Well not right now, but give it a few months and they all will forget about this."
"No you don't understand, my family and the man I…I…I love heard me. I know now that they all must be ready to hunt us down."
"Actually, with Sango driving, I don't think they will be able to catch up to use."
I knew she was right but at that moment all I cared about was how much I have screwed up. Now and till the end of time Sesshomaru would hate me and would never stop hunting me down.
