Fate of Awakening Love

Chapter Ten:

Kagome lay on her bed in her chambers and stared at the ceiling and sighed. What was she going to do? How was she going to tell Sesshoumaru? Sorry Sesshoumaru but I still love InuYasha, but I swear I love you too? No, that wouldn't work. Kagome sighed again and rolled on to her stomach. 'What am I going to do?' Kagome thought. 'I really do love them both, but if it weren't for Sesshoumaru I'd be dead.'

Sesshoumaru slowly pushed open her chamber doors causing Kagome to quickly sit up in fear.

"Sesshoumaru?"

"You were not at dinner." Sesshoumaru said softly.

Kagome nodded. "I know."

"You know?" He questioned. "There is no excuse for skipping dinner, do you understand me? Not ever!"

Kagome nodded. "I'm sorry I just wasn't hungry!"

Growling, Sesshoumaru walked over to Kagome's bed and sat down pulling Kagome into his arms. Kagome looked up into his eyes, tears now threatening them. Sesshoumaru took his thumb and quickly wiped them away.

"I'm so sorry Sesshoumaru!" Kagome cried as she buried her face into his chest. Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around her back and sighed.

"Silence," He said softly. "I have something very important to tell you and I want you to listen carefully, do you understand."

Kagome nodded and mumbled a 'yes'.

Sesshoumaru took a deep breath and sighed again. "As you know InuYasha was here early to talk to you." Sesshoumaru paused. "He came here with a message from Kikyo. The jewel of four souls has been found and as of the moment it is with Kikyo. Meaning you have a way home." Sesshoumaru said.

Kagome squealed. "Really?"

Sesshoumaru nodded.

Kagome jumped up and wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's neck. "I can go home and see my family and friends again!" She wailed happily. "When can I go back?"

"When ever you wish."

"Tomorrow?" Kagome asked.

Sesshoumaru nodded and slowly got to his feet. "Sleep then. I will wake you at dawn and we will head for Kikyo's village." With that said Sesshoumaru left.

Kagome happily plopped down on her bed and squealed. "I can finally go home! I can see mama, Souta, grandpa, and the girls again." Kagome turned over on her side. 'Sleep he said. I'm too excited to sleep.'

Sesshoumaru sat outside Kagome's door and frowned. 'I should have never got attached to her. What was I thinking anyways, she's a human!' Sesshoumaru growled and turned and headed towards his corridors.

"Sesshoumaru- dono," Cooed a small voice.

Sesshoumaru slightly turned his head to see his little Rin standing behind him. "Rin?"

Tears started to fall down the little girls face, and her body trembled as she began to girl. "Rin heard everything Sesshoumaru-dono. Rin doesn't want Kagome Onee-Chan to leave." The little girl cried. "Please make her stay her with Rin and Sesshoumaru –dono!"

Sesshoumaru frowned as he picked up his little girl and held her tightly in his arms. "It is not my place to make he stay Rin." She said softly. "If she wants to leave then I will let her, without arguing. I will not be like my arrogant half brother InuYasha." Sesshoumaru barked.

"No!" Rin cried. Her faced now buried into Sesshoumaru's shoulder and her fist clenching the sides of his kimono.

"Calm down now Rin" Sesshoumaru said softly rubbing her back. "Or you'll make yourself ill."

Sesshoumaru laid Rin down on his bed and lay down next to her. The little human girl had fallen asleep from exhaustion from crying so much. Sesshoumaru sighed and kissed Rin softly on her forehead. "I will miss her too, Rin." Sesshoumaru pulled Rin's still form closer to him and rested the tip of his chin on the top of her head, and laid there waiting for dawn.

It wasn't long before dawn approached and Sesshoumaru was headed down to Kagome's bed chambers. He wasn't surprised when he saw her sitting on the end of her bed fully dressed and ready to go.

"Ready?" Sesshoumaru asked standing in the doorway starring over at her.

Kagome stood and smiled. "Yes!" She answered. "I can't wait!"

Sesshoumaru forced a smile. "I know. Come now we need to hurry along."

Kagome nodded and Sesshoumaru picked her up and held her tightly in his arms as a cloud formed beneath them and floated through the air.

It was only minutes before they were in Kaede's village and only a few people were up and about. Among them were Kaede, Kikyo, and InuYasha. InuYasha smirked as Sesshoumaru and Kagome slowly approached them.

"See what did I tell you?" InuYasha said laughing.

Sesshoumaru grunted as he placed Kagome on her feet.

"Kagome-sama," Kikyo said softly as she approached her. Kagome looked up at the undead priestess and smiled.

"Yes?" She answered.

Kikyo reached into her kimono's pocket and pulled out the shikon no tama and handed it to Kagome. "You should be more careful were you leave this." Kikyo said harshly. "There are no words of what you could have caused if a demon got this."

"I'm sorry." Kagome grumbled as she looked down to the ground.

Kikyo rolled her eyes and turned back to InuYasha. "Kaede," Kikyo said. "InuYasha and I are going to the next village to gather some herbs. We should be back later this afternoon." Kikyo finished.

Kaede nodded. "Travel safely you two."

"Feh!" InuYasha barked. "Ain't nothing gunna happen'" With that said InuYasha took Kikyo on his back and they dashed off into the forest.

Kagome looked down at the small jewel in her hand. 'I can go home now.' She thought. Tears swelled up into her eyes and slowly over flowed down her face as she looked up at Sesshoumaru. "I'm going home."

Sesshoumaru took her face into his hands and slowly wiped her tears away. "Stay safe Kagome."

Kagome closed her eyes and nodded. "Thank so much Sesshoumaru, for everything."

Sesshoumaru smiled softly. "No thank you, Kagome, now go home. You have kept your family waiting long enough."

Kagome smiled softly as she wiped away her tears. "Will you take me to the well?" She asked.

Sesshoumaru nodded. "If that is what you wish."

"Please." Kagome said putting out her hand. Sesshoumaru took her hand and she lead him through InuYasha's forest to the Bone Eater's Well that connected her time to feudal Japan. Once the got to there destination, Kagome sat down on the ledge of the well while Sesshoumaru stood in front of her.

"Go." Sesshoumaru said harshly. "It is your time to leave. If you do not leave now I'll never let you go."

"What?" Kagome said looking up at Sesshoumaru. His eyes were no over flowing with tears. "Sesshoumaru?" She said standing up.

"Goodbye Kagome." Sesshoumaru murmured as he pushed Kagome down into the well.
