Ch 14: Loves Me, Loves Me Not
Kikyo wanted badly to tell Sesshoumaru about the proposal but she just couldn't. If she told Rin then Rin would tell Sesshoumaru. Kikyo sighed, if there was anyway she could tell Sesshoumaru she wants to know now. Sesshoumaru would get mad not because he loves her but because that's how he always reacts.
She was also worried that Satomi would mention something about it around dinner. She sighed, why does her life have to be difficult? She ran into Miki. Miki bowed and apologized quickly. Then she stopped when she noticed it was Kikyo. Her attitude and facial expression turned sour.
"You were the one laying in Sesshoumaru's bed, why was that?"
"Uh, I was waiting for him."
"For what?"
"I had to discuss and important matter with him."
"Are you guys by any chance lovers?"
"No, why? I though that you and him were lovers."
Miki smiled at that, "Oh no, he- does he- no he doesn't think about me like that- does he?!"
Kikyo smiled barely, "I guess."
"Yes, I mean, yes that is fine I guess."
Kikyo walked away while lightly shaking her head. Is that the type of girl Sesshoumaru was into? She ran into Kagome and Kaori who were fighting about Miki, "KIKYO!"
"What?"
"Who is that ugly blond chick?!" Kagome screamed.
"Her name is Miki; she came home with Sesshoumaru last night."
"WHAT! HOW DO YOU KNOW?!" they screamed in unision.
"Rin and I were waiting for Sesshoumaru to get back and he came in his room with her. I don't know how it happened it just did."
"Why aren't you mad about this? Aren't you still going for the bet?" Kaori asked.
Kikyo had forgotten about the bet. She guessed she should try and stop it but Sesshoumaru wouldn't care about her thoughts, "I am still in the bet I just don't care if he falls for another. Anyways if she wins we don't get the prize from our bet."
Kagome wanted to punch Kikyo. How could she not care that her hubby fell in love with another. Kagome held her fist and crossed her arms. Kikyo shook her head again, 'Such a kid.'
Kagome noticed a ring on Kikyo's hand, "Kikyo… are you engaged?"
Kikyo gasped. She forgot about the ring, "NO! I was given it."
Kagome snickered, "Who proposed? It's not Sesshoumaru if he is fixated on Miki. Was it the Lord of this castle…Satomi?"
"No, I'm not engaged nor am I married. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go."
With that she left and hid herself in an abandoned part of the castle. She felt at home in this part of the castle. She sat in an old chair that sat in the light but seemed to not collect with dust. Everything else was dark. She sat in the chair.
It was relaxing and she soon found herself asleep again. Hours later she woke up and walked out of the room. Then a maid ran up to her, "Oh dear. There you are Miss Kikyo. Satomi and the little one were worried about you. Dinner is ready and everybody is waiting for you."
"Sorry."
Kikyo walked into the Kitchen and sat where she sat last time. Satomi greeted her with a smile, "Hello. Where have you been?"
"Around."
Sesshoumaru looked at her and she stared back. Satomi interrupted them with a question to Kikyo.
"So did you consider my proposal? It would be awfully nice to see your face around the castle."
"Proposal?" Sesshoumaru said in a bored tone.
"…" Kikyo ignored Sesshoumaru and Satomi.
Dinner went by quick and Kikyo ran back to her forsaken place and enjoyed the loneliness. She soon found herself back in company when Sesshoumaru had followed her.
"So Miko, are you planning on getting out of our deal by staying here and pleasuring that sick fool."
"Sesshoumaru stop it. I did not have sex with him." She said through tears.
He stopped. He was acting like an ass like he always did. He didn't ask her part of the story. "So what is this proposal about?"
"Well-"
Satomi came in and ran to give Kikyo a hug. He embraced her and Kikyo barely hugged back. Satomi slid a gold necklace on Kikyo's neck. It made the diamond locket look weird with gold.
"Kikyo, will you please marry me. I will give you everything you wish for. Anything."
Sesshoumaru was shocked. He asked her to marry him. Sesshoumaru didn't like this one bit, "She refuses you proposal."
The two looked at Sesshoumaru as he took the necklace and ring off of Kikyo. He tossed them to Satomi who caught them. Satomi gave Sesshoumaru a look full of hate, "I didn't recall her saying that."
"She may not, but I say so. She is staying with me to complete what she promised. If she refuses my demands I will have to force her."
"You ignorant dog, she doesn't belong to you."
"On the contrary she does."
"What?!" Kikyo and Satomi gasped.
Kikyo went to turn away but he grabbed Kikyo and knocked her out. He tossed her over his shoulder and knocked out Satomi on his way out. He fell to the ground and Sesshoumaru walked past him. Everyone was standing at the entrance of the castle. They knew it was time to go. Rin looked sadly upon Kikyo as she rested limp upon Sesshoumaru's shoulder. Everyone was puzzled and wondered what happened.
They stopped and rested so Kikyo could have time to wake up. Sesshoumaru stayed near her and it made the other three jealous. Rin came and crawled by Sesshoumaru, "What did you do to her? Her face is scared."
"Rin, does Kikyo ever tell you anything?"
"No, I'm usually around Kagome."
No reply was given back and Rin walked away. She was deeply worried about Kikyo. She could sense that her Lord's temper was rising just thinking about things.
Kikyo grunted and Sesshoumaru picked her up and left everyone in confusion. Kikyo woke up in Sesshoumaru's arm, "What the hell!"
Sesshoumaru dropped her and she quickly retreated herself, "Why did you do that?!"
She was banging on his chest with her tightened fist. He had gotten rid of the clothes they gave him and only put on the left over hakamas he had left. He looked her straight in the eyes. She kept hitting him till her hands turned purple and bled crimson blood, "Poor Satomi is probably heart broken and confused. He loved me and I was prepared to stay with him even though I possess no feelings for him. He was the only one who ever really loved me! You're just like Inuyasha! You claim you own me but you don't!"
Sesshoumaru smacked her and it echoed through the trees. He was nothing like his filthy brother, "I brought you back to life so I own you. I could have killed you and left you in your own dust."
Kikyo shook her head and started to cry. Why was Sesshoumaru always so cold to her? He neared her and she backed up into a tree. Sesshoumaru kneeled down to her eye level. Her eyes filled with hate and loneliness. Sesshoumaru had it with himself and his feelings. He just hated and enjoyed it to see Kikyo like this. He grabbed her arm and yanked her into his arms. He gently stroked her hair and tried to calm her down. She cried on his chest and held onto him as if she would die if she dared to let go.
