Disclaimer: I don't own any of the InuYasha characters (though I really wish that I did…especially Sesshomaru!!). My characters will most likely be showing up real soon. I hope I can fit them in any way!!
To Mend a Broken Heart
Chapter 9
Hi there everyone. I am kind of in a bad mood as I start this. As much as I don't want to admit it, my family is right and I have been glued to the laptop. If you guys have any ideas for my story let me know cuz I am in the middle of a little bit of writers block. Here are some review replies:
kittyb78: thank you. I appreciate your review very much. You tied it with Protecting Love, my first story. That is really great.
kayone kaso: yeah…Haha…I didn't see it coming either, it kinda just came. He-he.
dusk'sbullet thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Hope you keep reading my story. I am feeling better now, even though I still have a cough.
Thank you everyone for all of your reviews. If the story is going too fast let me know. Sometimes I just have to write cuz, I have a good idea or I just have to.

Kagome stepped away, blushing deeply. The thing she had least expected had happened. Now that InuYasha was gone, nothing was keeping her from kissing back, except her heart.
Turning around again, Kagome walked away, going over the latest events in her head.
'I know he said he loved me, but I didn't think it was true. I thought he was just feeling something odd. What is going on? My heart is fluttering.' Kagome thought as she walked back to Kaede's hut.
"What happened, Kagome? Did he hurt you?" Sango asked, immediately sensing that something had happened between the demon lord and the miko.
"Well, I don't really know." Kagome answered, still slightly confused.
Sango, not quite satisfied with this answer, gave Kagome a piercing look. Kagome, not noticing the look, sat down in front of the fire and began to warm her hands.
"He said you can come. We are going to leave an hour after dawn. Thanks for coming with me." Kagome whispered.
"Oh, Kagome, are you alright?" Sango asked, getting up and giving Kagome a hug.
Kagome began crying into Sango's shoulder. Sango began rocking her back and forth. The last thing Kagome remembered before falling asleep was the feeling of warmth and comfort and being among friends.

Kagome woke up resting on Kirara's back. Looking around, she realized that Sesshomaru must have come and got her and that her friends must have just carried her. As she sat up, she almost tumbled off of Kirara. She yelped and that was when everyone realized that she was awake.
"Good morning, Kagome!" Miroku said, not far from Sango's side.
"Morning, Miroku. Hi, Sango." Kagome said, cheerful.
Shippo leapt onto Kagome's back as she got off of Kirara. Kagome laughed and grabbed the fox kit and hugged him tight. Propping him on her hip, Kagome walked over to Rin and ruffled her hair. The teenager laughed and grabbed Kagome's hand.
They walked for the rest of the day, stopping only when everybody (except Sesshomaru) needed water. That night, they made camp and Sesshomaru took his usual place under a tree. Under that tree, he meditated over everything that had happened over the past few days: the battle, the trip, the happiness in Kagome's face and voice, and also, the kiss.
Suddenly, he was jabbed out of his meditation by a high-pitched laugh.
Kagome was laughing her head off as Miroku finished a joke. In fact, the entire group was laughing, yet Kagome's laugh was the loudest. She was starting to come out of her depression of losing InuYasha. Her joy was coming back to her and all surrounding her.
Sesshomaru, ears ringing, got up and walked away. Going into the forest was his way of getting away from the noise. The dark was comforting to him. It meant quiet and sanctuary.
He whipped around when he sensed something, only to relax when he realized it was only Kagome. She came up behind him and just stood for the longest time. Sesshomaru was losing his patience when Kagome finally spoke.
"You know, Sesshomaru, we never talked about what happened the other night. I'm still a little confused about what happened." Kagome said in a round-about way.
"Well, I could show you what happened." Sesshomaru said.
"Hmm, I might take you up on that offer, but I don't think…" Kagome began, only to be interrupted with Sesshomaru kissing her, again. Again, Kagome felt her heart piece together. Little by little, Sesshomaru was doing what he promised, piecing together Kagome's heart.
"Sessh…omaru, what are you doing?" Kagome breathed after being released from the kiss.
Sesshomaru chuckled, though it wasn't a very big chuckle, and kissed her again. By the end of this one, Kagome was speechless.
The two walked back to camp. Kagome was blushing deeply and Sesshomaru had his emotionless mask on again. The rest of the group looked on suspiciously, but didn't ask any questions. They merely watched as Sesshomaru and Kagome took seats at opposite ends of the fire.

The next day was as uneventful as the first. They all traveled stopping only to drink and for a brief rest. The only difference was they got back to the castle. Rin was excited and Kagome just looked ahead of her. Jaken and Ah-Un had to usher everyone else on. Everybody else stared at the castle. They had never seen something so big or magnificent. Staring ahead, Kohaku, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara allowed themselves to be pushed towards the castle.
Once inside, Sesshomaru gave orders to have two additional rooms made up for Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Shippo and Kohaku would have a room on either side of Rin's room. Sango and Miroku would share a room on the remaining side of Kagome's (Sesshomaru's was on one side of Kagome's) with Kirara in a little bed in their room. Dinner would be served soon so everyone went to unpack what they had brought with them.
Once Kagome was in her room, she headed straight for the closet. Now knowing how to put on a kimono and obi properly, she was able to do it herself with minor problems. She chose a light pink kimono with darker sakura flowers on it. For an obi, she picked a white one to tie up. The dinner bell sounded just as she finished putting her hair up into a tight bun.
Kagome opened her door to go down to dinner when she heard two gasps to her left. Sango and Miroku had just left their room and turned to see Kagome in traditional Japanese clothing.
"Wow, Kagome, you look great," Miroku said, getting a glare out of Sango, "don't you agree, Sango dear?"
"Yes I do. Kagome, where did you get that kimono? I had no idea you owned something like that." Sango agreed, finally deciding to ignore Miroku's comment.
"Oh, well, it's not mine. Sesshomaru is lending me a closet of kimonos and obis. I think it's really nice of him." Kagome answered, surprised at her friends' reactions.
The other two nodded. Walking down to dinner, they ran into Rin, Kohaku, and Shippo. Smiling at each other, the friends walked down to the dining hall together.
Once in the hall, they sat down at the overly large table and waited. It took a while before they all realized that Sesshomaru was not there yet. Everyone waited and waited, but Sesshomaru didn't come.
"I'll go check on him." Kagome offered, getting out of her chair.
"No need. I am here." Someone said from the doorway.
Kagome turned and fell backwards. Sesshomaru was behind her in an instant, ready to catch her as she fell. When she had started to fall, Kagome had closed her eyes, now, as she opened them, she was staring into the golden eyes of Sesshomaru.
Kagome blushed as Sesshomaru put her onto her feet. Walking back to her chair, Kagome thought about how Sesshomaru had caught her in front of everybody. Showing them how much he really did care for her. Her heart, just about a week ago, shattered, was now almost whole.

Yeah, I'm sorry about the cheesy parts and all of that jazz. I can't think of anything to write, though I do have an idea for either a part later in the story or for in the sequel (if there is going to be one, I don't know yet). It will be a great part I think. I just have to find a way to work it in. But mark my words…it will be in it.
Again, ideas are welcome to help me. What do you guys want to see happen next?
I am thinking about writing a Naruto based story. Any ideas? I was thinking the kyubi getting out of Naruto somehow and attacking the village again or something. What do you guys think? Of course, you guys will have to help me through it. I am not as good with Naruto as I am with InuYasha. I could ask my younger brother…anyway, IDEAS!
