Th-this can NOT be happening to me again!! Mom said the changes would stop once I lost my innocence! That is the only reason I gave Inu-yasha my virginity DAMN IT ALL mama you were off in your assumptions yet again…
A
s she reached the stream at the edge of the forest she gazed down at her reflection in it's' depths, damn the others must know by now. They must have guessed that she Kagome Higarashi guardian of the jewel of four souls was a half demon!!That is if she chose to believe her grandfather's stories of the Higarashi family curse. She didn't use to believe in this type of stuff. Then one day sixteen years ago she was dragged down the old well inside her family shrine and came face to face with Inu-yasha and so she was now a believer.
The curse is believed to go as follows, Long ago the husband of a priestess was unfaithful and because of his infidelity he had illegitimate children twins a boy and a girl but due to complications the male child died. Then the priestess learned of her husband's extra marital affair and went to see her husband's mistress with plans to kill her one remaining child. However once she arrived she saw how distraught the mother was over losing one of her babies that the priestess simply could not carry out her plan of murder so she placed a curse on the mother and her child that every child of their bloodline male or female would be transformed into a half demon once a month for three days. For girls the changes begin at the start of her first minstrel cycle and continued until her death. For the male how ever the curse was somewhat different their changes didn't start until they became sexually active and it only lasted about five to seven years.
I do not understand this mama said that her transformations had stopped when she had first had sex so why… why had it not worked for her?!
She was so upset that she had not heard Sesshomaru come up behind her so consequently she was scared out of her wits when he wrapped his arms around her small waist and hugged her.
OH MY Sesshomaru you nearly gave me a heart attack! Sneaking up on me like that! Please do not ever do it again. I- I could have attacked you for heavens sake!!
He merely laughed at her then, why dear sweet Kagome I do believe you are starting to care for me. Sesshomaru replied
Oh my he is cute when he smiles, he sort of reminds me of Inu-yasha. ARGH I do not just compare Sesshomaru to that ass hole Inu-yasha!!! How could I in the past few days I have seen a side to him that is so different from that cold front he puts on for everyone else. Now that side of him I would willingly spend the rest of my life with.
She blushed then a very deep red NO my heart has betrayed me once more I have feeling for none other than Inu-yasha's elder brother this is a recipe that will most assuredly lead to disaster for my battered heart.
Kagome look at me said Sesshomaru in a gentle voice that was so unlike his cool emotionless one that she found herself unable to deny him. Why the tears Kagome?? Were you hurt in battle? Sesshomaru questioned… No physically I am fine it was just… he hurt me so bad sesshy! Kagome sobbed how could he just use me and then toss me aside because Kiikyou decided she wants him now??
Sesshomaru the great demon lord found himself doing something he never in a million years thought he would do holding a woman, feeling totally at her mercy and worse still he quite liked it.
Back with Inu-yasha and Kiikyou, "Why are we leaving Kiikyou?" Inu-yasha questioned. When Kiikyou did not answer him Inu-yasha lost his patience with her, DAMMIT KIIKYOU ANSWER ME WHEN I QUESTION YOU I AM NOT JUST SOME PUPPET PUT HERE FOR YOU TO YANK MY CHAIN WHEN IT BEST SUITS YOU!!!
When she still gave no response Inu-yasha grabbed hold of her arm and turning her to face him he asked "Why is it that you will not answer me my love?"
Kiikyou chose then to tell him everything. Inu-yasha please sit down and do not interrupt me for I am about to tell you a long and complex story it is one that began years before my birth and has caused me great pain. In fact I suspect that it is the reason my soul cannot rest even now that Naraku is dead.
First off I tried to cast a spell on you to make you forget lady Kagome. I did so because I thought she would get in the way of my plans. "You need not worry though because it didn't work at least not in the way I had hoped. Kiikyou said more to herself than Inu-yasha. The spell I cast was supposed to make each of you forget the other until Kagome fell in love with Sesshomaru but you seem to remember her very well my dear Inu-yasha. As for Kagome she seems to remember you as well Inu-yasha.
But Kiikyou why the spell? Why did you want Kagome to fall for Sesshomaru? He asked in amazement.
I asked that you not interrupt me there will be more then enough time for your questions later love. That being said she continued on with her tale. Secondly Kadae is not my only sister I had an older half sister named Jan-Kin. She was my elder sister form an affair my father had two years before my birth. She was actually a twin but the other twin a boy died from complications during childbirth. My mother forgave my father but he did not go unpunished however for you see Inu-yasha my mother placed a curse upon the woman whom had in her mind tempted her husband. This curse would cause the adulteress and every descendent from her bloodline change into a half demon once a month for the rest of their lives. This change was to begin at their passage into adulthood. (I.e. having sex for a male and the first period for a girl.). Because of her placing a curse upon an innocent being mother lost the ability to guard over the jewel of the four souls. Since I had already shown great mystic powers and I was the eldest known child the jewel was left in my charge. Then came the day when Jan-Kin learned of the jewel and who her father was and came to take the jewel from me to guard over it herself. We fought because I was afraid that because of the curse that had been placed upon her that she would use the jewel to become a full demon. She left that day only to return three days later and attack me so I was forced to kill her.
Then with her last breaths she asked me to forgive her she would never have attacked men but she did it to be with the man she loved…. Lord Sesshomaru.
Now to explain the hard part, Kagome is not my reincarnation as many have believed she is Jan-Kin's reincarnation. I know this because before I died I prayed to the gods to allow my half sisters soul to guard over the Shikone no Tama. I did this I truly believed that the only reason she wanted the jewel was so she could be with the man she loved. I figured that since you and I would be together in death that if Jan-Kin and Sesshomaru truly loved one another that their souls would find one another through the luck of the gods and the reincarnation process.
I knew the first time I saw Kagome that she was my sister's reincarnation because she was able to purify the jewel shards and by the fact that she is my sisters double.
I only wanted to help fate to help her to finally be in the arms of the man she loves. That is the reason for the spells and the deception I need to give their brains and bodies time to realize what their hearts already know… that they, (Sesshomaru and Kagome) love each other.
I only hope that you can forgive me for deceiving you my love. "Well can you?" Kiikyou asked Inu-yasha.
"I'll consider it Inu-yasha answered but it will cost you." As he said this his mouth swooped down to capture hers in a passion filled kiss that when it ended left them both gasping for air.
There Inu-yasha said as he caught his breath we are even and you're forgiven.
