Kagome
I sat up from the bed to see he was already gone. I wasn't surprised the few days that I had been here I had never once woken up before him but then I knew he left the same time that I started to pretend to sleep. He would leave then I would sleep for real it was an interesting arrangement. I got out of the bed and dressed and headed out the door to find Ulquiorra waiting for me. I had gotten use to him as well no matter how much I tried to get him to leave or complained to Aizen about him he wouldn't let me go by myself. I started going down the hall I had memorized the area around the bedroom about 15 ft. from the door. I was still looking for possible ways out but had only found the one. I still was trying to think of a way to get rid of him long enough to check it out when a large bang could be heard. It came from the west area and without looking at him I sprinted towards it with Ulquiorra on my heels. As we approached the area I began to wonder what they would think of me here I knew I was going to have to lie and Ichigo may never forgive me but I didn't care as long as we got Aizen no one man will kill off my kind without paying the blood price for their lives. We came to the area and they were there standing below us. I saw Ichigo's shoulders lift and he looked up following with his eyes the trail of my aura. "Kagome" he yells to me a look of joy and relief filling his face.
Pain filled me as I put on a haughty sneer. "Don't address me so familiarly soul reaper Aizen-sama's Queen demands your respect. Stop your pathetic quest now and he might be willing enough to not end your worthless lives".
The look of joy on his face was replaced with one of pain and horror. "Queen but how I thought. . ."
I glared at the men below me "well obviously you thought wrong if you're smart you will join Aizen-sama as I have. Who knows maybe you'll learn something".
I forced myself to laugh at his stricken expression, I felt hollow on the inside as if just a little puff of wind would knock me over but I couldn't let him see any pain and I had to keep up the act since Ulquiorra was here. Sesshomaru spoke next "so you say that you joined the man that had you kidnapped sister? Why?"
I shrugged "the same reason that I joined Naruku in the end I wanted power. Unfortunately that half-demon didn't pan out so I covered it up. Did a pretty good job don't you think I fooled a fool after all. Even you believed me right" I laughed again this time praying that Sesshomaru would understand or else they would never trust me and I will be forced to live a life of exile. That would kill me thank god that Miroku and Songo are not here any longer I thought in relief they would have dragged me out of this place by my hair.
Of course the way Inuyasha was looking at me made me wonder if maybe he wouldn't do it himself. I shook my head at them as if in pity. "I really do pity you all if only you could see what Aizen-sama had planned for everyone. It saddens me that you resist him so".
"That's alright Kagome it's their loss".
I turned making an overjoyed face at him as he came and put his arm around me. I leaned into him and snuggled as close as I could. I didn't let myself cry when I turned again to look at Ichigo and saw the look on his face. As if the word itself had told him that he was never going to be happy. I made myself memorize the look in his eyes to make sure that I would never forget it in all my long life. So that I would know in later years why he looked like that whenever I walked by. I felt Aizen pull me into the shadows of the building I waved to them as I let myself be pulled away. "You really are my little vixen Kagome I think I might let take the boy's head if you would like".
"I would like that very much Aizen-sama" I said trying not to vomit and keep my happy mask in place.
Ichigo
I was in denial I couldn't believe that Kagome would betray us. Images of her flashed through my mind.
*Flashback* Do not need to read but is scenes of Ichigo and Kagome while they fell for each other.
That's when she sees me. She's standing in the middle of the clearing and for the life of me I can't remember her or her friends coming in any time. Her eyes widen as she looks at me but she turns toward the hollow as if to fight it. before I get a chance to tell her to get out of the way one of the men grab me and holds me still "don't struggle and I won't knock you out" he growls as he watches Kagome and the other man face the hollow.
I walked over and stood before him ignoring the pointed glare from Sesshy. "My name is Kurosaki Ichigo and I was ordered to follow you I don't know why so don't ask me".
I grin at the name "Ichigo really your parents must have loved you to give you that name" (hint sarcasm).
He grimaced obviously use to people making fun of his name but with his bright orange hair that from the smell was all natural it wasn't hard to understand. My grin stretched into a smile "my name is Higurashi Kagome as you probably know this is Inuyasha and Sesshomaru or if you're not to scare of him Sesshy as I call him".
I opened the door as quietly as I could not wanting to wake anyone else which was why I heard her sing. I shut the door and followed the sound of the song till I was standing underneath a tree and I saw her. She was sitting on the roof and the moon outlined her making her for one moment look like a goddess morning the loss of her mortal lover. The song captured my attention only strengthen my idea of the goddess. The song was sad but beautiful as many things in this world are. It seems that sometimes the only time we can create something beautiful is when we don't have the eyes to see it. She finished her song and without thinking I clapped. She snapped around to me her eyes wide before giving me a wan smile. I jumped up on the roof and sat next to her as a breeze sprang up to play with her hair. "You sing well" I said the only thing that came to my mind "what is that song though it seemed so sad".
Higurashi smiled slightly "it's a song about a girl who feel in love with the wrong man over and over and was rejected every time".
A warm smile spread across her face changing it dramatically it was true that she wasn't that bad to look at beautiful even but when she smiled like that it was enough to make even the gods envious. I wondered how someone so radiant could have been overlooked for so long.
Throughout the day I was distracted from school by thoughts of Kagome not in the romantic sense but because she seemed so …. Different it was the only word I could come up with that even remotely described this mysterious woman with her long black hair and bright blue eyes that almost seemed purple at times. To think that such a women was a demon was hard to believe until you got near her and felt the aura that radiated off of her. Her aura was so close to the Vizards and my own that I had to believe her from the start.
I wasn't sure what to say to that, as my father cried tears for her misfortune I realized that I didn't know a lot about Kagome as a person only what she had done over the years. I wonder what she was thinking about when she smiled like that. Something grabbed my arm and began hauling me towards somewhere which jerked me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see my father dragging me in the direction of the house with Kagome walking beside him chatting away as if they were old friends. It didn't take long to get to our house I was surprised that Kagome came over but it didn't annoy me like I thought it would. She seemed more at ease here for some reason but I didn't dwell on that much I was more engrossed in the fact that she had just offered to cook tonight instead of Yuzi.
*End Flashbacks* OMG I would have kept going but that is so time consuming to go back and forth like that my god. Don't laugh at me or tell me to stop whining (thought I do it often) I like to see you do it and not feel a little irked as well.
