Why?
Chapter 10 – Three ways and a Question.
In a corridor inside the magnificent palace footsteps can be heard. And if you listen more attentively you can hear a light cursing coming from a gorgeous demon would be heard.
"Kuso. F*ck the hell! Sh*t!" A god-like demon known as Sesshoumaru ever so lightly and gracefully (??) cussed.
"Ugh, I'm starting to talk like my dimwit of a brother – half-brother."
"If I think about it, what father said was true. My actions were to be compared with Inuyasha but what am I suppose to do that time. Gah! I should've left that wench and left her rot there." Stopping in his tracks he thought of what he just said to himself.
"I should've left that wench and let her die……DIE…LET …HER ROT THERE…LET HER DIE.."
His mind stopped functioning for a millisecond. His heart forgot to beat for a millisecond.
"Why did that thought bother me?" Realizing that he just said his thoughts out loud, he looked around to see if anyone was there. Sensing and seeing that there is no one in the area, he continued on walking to his destination.
"There is a bigger problem than this new feeling in me and that is to urge the wench in NOT taking the ritual. I don't need a mate, no one can change my mind."
Reaching his destination, which is the guestroom where kagome and both her parents resided. He reached for the door knob. He was going to open the door when he heard voices talking.
"There's no harm in eavesdropping once in a while."
"I am not forcing you to do the ritual. I'm merely giving you a choice. Do you want to live or to die?" His father stated.
"So it seems that they are discussing about the ritual already." Sesshoumaru thought
"B-but..according to facts. Mating is like having the sacrament of matrimony with humans?" Kagome replied.
"Yes, it's like marriage but if you look at it from our point of view - ours being demons' there's more to that especially in your case where a youkai mates a ningen"
"It's harder. But if you love that youkai you will be able to take all the pain right?" izayoi spoke, looking at her mate.
Sesshoumaru scowled at the thought of "love" between his parents. That is impossible for me.
"So they have the same case but..whay are there so many but's in this discussion?! sigh" thoughts that ran within Kagome's mind.
"She is thinking properly I presume." Sesshoumaru acknowledged her way of replying to his parents' demands.
"But, our case is completely different from yours."
"I think this is the right time to come in." Sesshoumaru twisted the knob and pushed the door open.
"Our case is definitely different from yours." All three of them looked at the way where the voice came from. Just to see Sesshoumaru with a scowl on his face.
"Ah, so you decided to come in." inutaisho said it not as a question but a statement.
Ignoring his father's wise words he spoke. "As I said our case is different from yours. Wherein, you two loved each other while we don't and will never feel a bit of that." He said coldly.
Kagome can't help but gape at his words. "Well, he has a point. Why will a demon-vampire love or even like a ningen-miko like me? Sigh" she thought with dismay.
"So, I decided to not continue pursuing the ritual." Sesshoumaru added.
"It is only your decision not Kagome's." inutaisho looked at kagome as if trying to get her in his side.
Kagome sensing the stare she's getting met inutaisho's eyes, trying to escape his gaze she turned it at his side. Unfortunately, she was met with Izayoi's hopeful eyes. Again, trying to escape their gaze turned at Inutaisho's other side just to get a cold look from Sesshoumaru. (a/n: they are not standing in a line people! Imagine them scattered.) She decided to just pin her gaze at her lap.
"sigh, thisis pressure. I can feel it. Got to think fast. WHAT DO I WANT?" Flashes of her family acting different at her sudden recovery crept her mind. "Yup, I've made my decision.
"Okay, as much as I want to live with my family I won't do the ritual." With her reply Izayoi's eyes sadden, inutaisho's eyes were filled with disappointment and unexpectedly mischief. Sesshoumaru's amusement flickered in his eyes for a bit of second.
"B-but why? Why won't you do the ritual if you want to live?" izayoi said in a quiet tone.
"Because I don't like the family I got after my recovery." Kagome said in a sad tone yet she managed to flash a genuine smile at Izayoi. This surprised everyone.
"Well then, if that is your decision then I'll leave it at that." Inutaisho said.
"Come now, Izayoi we should leave those two so they can talk." Inutaisho led his wife to the door. Together, they made their exit, Sesshoumaru, following them with his eyes. After they left, he looked at Kagome with her eyes hidden by her bangs.
"Miko." Kagome heard him.
"H-hai?" she answered.
"You're crying." He stated. This hit Kagome, unable to control herself and stop her tears she stood up and flung herself on sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru, not expecting the sudden action of kagome, didn't have the time to react.
"I want to live! Sesshoumaru! I want to live! I don't want to die. I want to live. Let me just live ….just until the first snowflake falls!"
"Girl, you're soaking my clothes with your tears." [a/n: insensitive and cold. That's what he is.:)]
"Let me live 'til then…I want to see…" with those last words, kagome fainted.
"She cries after making her decision, saying she doesn't want to live yet she just told me she wants to live..to see something…… someone?? Then faints. What is with this wench." Sesshoumaru carried Kagome bridal style and laid her on her bed. After doing so, stood up wanting to live but his body opposed. He stayed there staring at the sleeping girl.
"You are a very mysterious and interesting miko." With that said he turned to live but not without hearing Kagome murmur something in her sleep.
"Please help me live just until that day…Sesshoumaru."
"Is she trying to taunt me? Dreaming of me?" He finally left the room.
------ -----
Taisho Library.
After Sesshoumaru left Kagome's room, he was filled with disturbing and bothersome thoughts. He didn't even notice that he is already going towards their library. Telling himself he just wants to gain more facts, so he searched for other ways in order for kagome to live.
"Now, why do I want to help that damn wench again? Yeah, It's not to actually help her its to gain more knowledge."
Sesshoumaru then, continued reading and flipping thru pages of piles of books when he heard the doors open.
"It seems that you are too busy to even notice my presence." Inutaisho stated while looking at the books piled on the table of his son.
"Hn."
"For a smart person, you sure use the shortest words." Inutaisho said in hopes of bringing humor.
"Hn."
"I won't talk to you anymore if you tell me what you're doing."
"None of your business."
"But it is my son because I know what you're looking for and the answer for it." He smirked.
"If you know what I'm looking for then why ask? And were you eavesdropping on us?" Sesshoumaru shouldn't have bothered talking to his father if only he didn't hear him say "the answer for it".
"Alas, you spoke to me in a complete statement."
"Hn."
"It's not eavesdropping. I just heard you when I was passing by."
"And why were you passing by when you came from that room at that time?"
"You don't trust me ne? I was going that way because the…….the storage room is coincidently that way."
"I'll believe you if you tell me the other way to making her live."
"Hmmm…just one question. Why do you even care if she dies? It's not your problem f she can't live to see that someone right?" another point for Inutaisho.
"Or something. And just to assure you, I do not care father. It's just an additional knowledge for me. As you had known, facts nourishes me." Sneaky fox, where are you going at with asking me questions?
"Facts, eh?"
"Just tell me" he stated with indifference.
"There are three ways to activate the effects of your blood through her veins. Mating is the first way and -"
"If there are more ways then why tell us just one? "How dare he! What's he trying to do? Does he desperately want me to mate?
"It's because the other ways are very risky and incapable of curing her permanently." He glared at his son.
"Hn."
"The second way is too much risky. Kagome has to die and be revived with the tenseiga. But! There is a possibility that the tenseiga can't revive her again. That sword lived for more than a century and we are not sure if it can revive a person dying from an illness not from a demon attack. We can't risk killing her. Also, if the sword can revive her we are not sure if she will still have her memories or if she will stay her normal self after the sword does its job."
"As far as I know Tenseiga is already mine so what I want to do with it is still my decision."
"But can you risk giving her false hope? And doesn't she want to live just until the first snow flake falls?"
"I think she'll like to live far longer than that."
"She doesn't and I just know a way. This is also the last among the three. It is to find the legendary Shikon Jewel. They say it can grant you wishes but it was proven ..to be limited. It can only grant the wish for a short time. And the thing is this jewel is strictly guarded by powerful mikos and I don't think they'll allow a ningen use it for personal reasons."
"They won't allow ningens but they will allow a miko with a valuable reason."
"I hope so."
"Then I'll tell her immediately." Sesshoumaru stood to leave but was interrupted by his father's voice.
"You didn't answer my question earlier." This annoyed sesshoumaru and amused his father.
"I already told you I won't repeat it again."
"I'm not going to stop asking until you give me the right answer." His father then walked past him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sesshoumaru. Would you want to let her use the jewel after you opened your mind and …..heart?"
End….for now.
