The Real Me
Chapter 10
Third Person POV
It's been...
A month has past since Saisho has awoke.
A month has past since Saisho has fully recovered.
A month has past since Lord Ryuu attacked.
A month has past since Lord Ryuu's demise.
Now there was only two questions that followed. What to do with Edward? And when will Kouga finish his courtship with Saisho, so the mating ritual could be performed at the mating ceremony? It was the end to some and beginning to others. Only time shall tell what is in store for the Cullens and Tashios.
Kagome POV
Time had past. Sections of the palace were rebuilt. Otou-san has been over seeing Lord Ryuu's land. Otuo-san is still not sure if he wants to expand his lands or let the remaining Lords squabble for it. Nevertheless whatever Otou-san decides will be soon I hope. Okaa-san along with Rin and Shippo have been on alert when a certain Cullen decides to make an appearance. Personally, I hope either Otou-san or Kouga does something soon about Edward.
Speaking of Kouga, we finally had our walk in the garden, which Kouga turned into a lovely afternoon picnic. sigh Kouga...I believe I'm slowly falling for him.
"Saisho, my love, would you walk the gardens with me?" Kouga asked pulling me out of my thoughts.
"I would love too." I replied while grasping his hand.
Kouga POV
Over this last month has truth brought me closer to Saisho then I ever thought was possible. Now all I had to do was give her a courting gift to complete our courtship. Once that was done Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru will conduct a mating ceremony in a weeks time.
*Skip to garden*
"Saisho, I brought you out here to give you something special. If you accept this our courtship is finally complete." I explained.
Retrieving the oblong box as Saisho sat down on rock shaped bench. I was so nervous. I didn't know which way this would go. I slowly handed the box to her and prayed. I heard her gasp after she lifted the lid. I tried but failed to look at her beautiful face, not if the gift would be rejected. That's when I heard her.
"Kouga, it's beautiful." Saisho said as her voice cracked slightly.
"Do you accept this gift? For me to be your mate?" I questioned.
The silence was unbearable. It felt as if several hours had passed instead of only minutes. Her breath caught as she turned to look at me.
"Yes, yes, yes, I accept!" Saisho shouted as tears rolled down her face.
I quickly picked her up and spun around with Saisho wrapped in my arms. From this day forward I knew Saisho was mine.
"Well now, please allow me to walk my mate inside. I need to talk to Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome about our mating ceremony." I said with clear excitement in my voice.
"Then let's go, Kouga." Saisho giggled.
I bent down swooping Saisho up into my arms and ran back to the Western palace. I knew this was just the beginning of what's to come.
Edward POV
If she thinks I am willing to give her up, she has another thing coming. I have decided not to give up. Saisho belongs to me. I won't let that damn mutt take what is mine! Now to escape this palace and start planning. Don't worry love, I'll be back for you soon.
Cullen POV
Alice was sucked into a vision. Everyone gathered around anxiously waiting to find out what she had seen. Alice eyes began to blink before she gasped in horror.
"Fucking Edward!" Was all Alice said.
They all glanced at each other and knew whatever Edward had done would only cause more trauma for Saisho. Would they be able to stop Edward from doing whatever he had planned? Carlisle hoped he could get Edward to see sense. That was if they could catch Edward's trail. It all came down to hope. Hope...
A/N: That's the end for now. Don't worry a sequel is in the works.
