Chapter 10
Kagome was at a loss. She knew now she had no choice, she would have to return to Japan and face what was coming to her. She would go to the originals and face punishment. Meiyo would not go over them and harm her family.
Her confusion lied with Sesshomaru. What would happen to him if they went back? Would his family disown him? Would he be killed?
"Kagome, you are going to leave holes in the floor with all your pacing."
Kagome stopped and sighed. She ran her hands through her long hair. "I do not know what to do now. I do not believe Meiyo will go over the originals heads and harm my family. They swore if I left my family alone they wouldn't be touched and while I did run I know they honored that. But they will know where I am now and I could run again, but they would eventually find me and it is time I face the consequences of my actions. I am only worried about what will happen to you for being associated with a vampire."
"I have told you numerous times, I can take care of myself. My father is youkai royalty, I doubt I would be harmed by your originals."
"What if your father wants nothing to do with you now? Youkai hate vampires."
"I am still his son and he knows I had no knowledge of these things. My father is a sensible man he will listen to what I have to say. I will explain to him that you are not like the others and perhaps he can do something about the originals. If not we will figure something out. No one is going to die."
Kagome smiled sadly. "I must die Sesshomaru. I have crimes against me already. They can not be taken back. If the originals do not kill me then Meiyo will always hunt me. I can not live like that either. He is an ancient and I can not stop him."
Sesshomaru said nothing knowing he would not change her mind in this. "I have a private jet. In two days we will board and go back to Japan. You will go with me to my families estate. End of discussion."
Sesshomaru walked away before she could open her mouth and say more.
Sesshomaru took Kagome's normal stance now. He sat just starring out the window, lost in thought. Kagome had gone and would be gone for a short while giving himself time to think clearly. He found he had a hard time doing so when she was near.
Why he didn't just abandon her here, he did not know. He could just leave her, go back to his father tell him what happened and let that be that.
But then what would happen to her? She would likely be killed and he could not allow that to happen. He could hardly believe how selfless she was and knew that if he did just leave her, she wouldn't hold it against him, more likely she'd be glad he was out of it and safe. This thing alone made him stay. He wouldn't, no couldn't. leave her like this.
It frustrated him that he felt like this, but at the same time he wanted to accept it. He had never connected to another being in his life, not since the death of his mother, the only other he had ever cared about. Yes he cared for his father, but it wasn't the same. His mother had been his best friend. He felt he had found that in Kagome as well, only this was different. He saw her as a potential mate, something he'd never thought he had.
This thought gave him a new idea and he smirked. Vampire and youkai weren't allowed to mate, but this Meiyo was obviously not learned in the way of the inuyoukai.
Kagome took a deep breath and turned her direction to the right and continued to run. There was a woman and a man together this way and there were no other people around for miles.
She came upon them and slowed her pace until she was standing in front of them. The man's mouth dropped open slightly while the woman just smiled.
Kagome gave them the sweetest smile and looked the woman directly in the eyes.
"You will not move and you will not scream. You will wait patiently until your turn."
The woman just continued to smile and nodded.
The man looked confused now and Kagome quickly turned to him.
"You will not scream and you will not struggle."
He smiled and nodded to. Kagome moved until her body was pressed against his and her fangs lowered. She wasted no time and took from him what she could without causing him harm. She moved to the woman next and did the same. After erasing their memory she jogged back into the woods where Meiyo stood waiting.
"You know, it always disgusted me the way you care so much about human life."
"And it disgusts me that you do not."
Meiyo smirked. "Where did we go wrong Kagome? You were so beautiful when we ran into each other that day I was certain you would be the perfect match for me."
"You should have watched me a little bit first. You would have known I'd never be anything like you."
Meiyo shrugged at this. "It wouldn't have mattered, I still would have chosen you. It is not too late Kagome, if you come back to me willingly I will not harm your friend the youkai."
"I am not yours, nor will I ever be. I will die before I let you try to make me like you."
"I knew you would say something like that."
Meiyo was on her in a second with his fangs digging into her neck. He moved his hand up and squeezed her breast roughly. "This is how things should have been." He whispered to her as he lifted his head, but left the wound openly bleeding on her neck.
Kagome shoved him from her. "Things would never have been like that and they never will be."
"We shall see Kagome, we shall see."
And where he had stood only moments before, was nothing, not even the trace of footprints.
Kagome walked into her back door and slumped down in a kitchen chair. Her head in her hands. She didn't bother with her wound not really caring at the moment. She was ready for this to be over. She was ready to die as she had been meant to do that day she ran into Meiyo.
She heard Sesshomaru come into the room but didn't bother moving. He turned on the water for a few moments and then she felt something wet against her neck.
"Move your hair to the other side, Kagome."
Kagome obliged and allowed him to wipe away the blood. She heard him spit and looked at him with questioning eyes as her swirled it over her shoulder.
"My saliva has a healing agent. I do not know if it is your blood that will kill me or if there is some kind of poison in your bite, so this is the way I must do it."
Kagome just nodded not really wanting to think what method he would have used otherwise. She did think about what else he said. She was basically walking poison to him. If she ever lost control she'd kill him if he didn't kill her first and she hoped he really could.
Sesshomaru sat down in the chair across from her. "I thought about what
Meiyo said, about how we were forbidden to be together."
Kagome nodded. "It makes sense, I am after all, your walking death."
Sesshomaru ignored her and continued on. "He was obviously not well learned in the way of the inuyoukai."
"What do you mean?"
"When an inuyoukai picks a mate, they are bonded together. Whatever happens to one happens to the other. That is why in our society, ones mate is treasured and can be harmed by no other under penalty of death."
Kagome was obviously confused. "What do you mean Sesshomaru?"
"Kagome, if we mate my family can not legally touch you. If they kill you it kills, me and if they kill you they will be sentenced to death."
"But Meiyo said-"
"I know, and it's probably true, but if we do this we will by time. Time to figure things out. Time to get away if we need to."
"Sesshomaru, I can not let you do this. As long as we do not do anything you will have nothing to be penalized for."
"Kagome, I can not let you die."
Kagome would have cried if she could. She didn't need to ask why. Deep down she knew. He was as lost as she was and even though he wasn't open about things like she was, she knew he felt what she felt.
Sesshomaru rose to his feet. He opened his hand in front of her for her to take it. She smiled sadly at it but took in none the less. She was pulled gently to her feet and flush against his body.
Kagome sighed. "I am sorry Sesshomaru. I truly am, but I do not think I will be able to fight you on this."
Sesshomaru said nothing. He lifted her off her feet and crashed his lips onto hers. She wrapped her legs around his waist completely lost in him. Lost in him for as long as she lived.
Kagome woke the next day with a naked Sesshomaru next to her. He was sleeping peacefully with his arm draped loosely around her. It still saddened her that she had brought him into this, but at the same time she couldn't regret what had happened between them. She felt they belonged together.
She couldn't get over how beautiful he was. And it wasn't fake like hers. Hers was so she could draw people to her, so she could use them for prey. His was genuine. He was just beautiful because he just was, she like that about him.
"I'll continue to pretend to be asleep if you wish to stare at me a little longer."
Kagome smirked. "As if I didn't know you were pretending?"
Sesshomaru removed his arm from around her and sat up.
"We must get our things ready. We are leaving in a few hours."
Kagome nodded and quickly got to her feet. She was not looking forward to the things that were to come.
