Hello, I'm the Lady of Gaia

Last time, within the darkness, Katsu met Inuyasha for the first time.

Inuyasha in the present is confused by his past and questions who his mother is.

Midoriko plans to leaving her Lord, but tells him of her feelings for him instead.

Kagome met her future self and was given a warning for what is to happen between herself and Katsu.

Chapter 21: Painful days

Kagome stared out at the garden, she had read the book over and over, but she didn't understand how a man, who has even been born, theory of eternal recurrence played a part in all of this. She frowned she didn't understand any of this mess that was going; she didn't know why she was in the past and what role she was to play. She turned away from the garden and ran to the entrance, feeling the desire to fly and free from the plague of her thoughts.

The Guards didn't stop her, knowing that she wasn't alone since Mayumi and Naoko ran at her side. Kagome ran past them, looking more beautiful than angel in her short baby pink Kimono with one of her other kimonos thrown onto her shoulders to make her maids stopping with her appearance. Jumping off the steps to float in the air, she started to fly to the closest town, to get what she needed for her gift to Katsu. Even though, she still thought of the Great Dog General as an arrogant moron like his sons…he was becoming a truly dear friend to her like Inuyasha was. She didn't know why, but she was filled with a desire to give him something that would show that they were friends.

The locket that she gave Inuyasha flashed in her mind, and she blushed at the thought of it. She felt like a child to have given him that locket, remembering how that she wanted him to remember her when their quest was done and she was forced back to her time. But this felt different from that gift, this felt like she want him to have a piece of her to remember her by when she disappears in from this world. The thought of disappearing from this world left a bittersweet taste within her mouth though, she knew what the future would hold for her friends; for Katsu…he would die to protect the one that he loved and her best friend, Inuyasha from Takamaru. Inuyasha would grow up, never to know his father, to be treated like he was less than dirt for all his days until he met Kikyo and then herself.

Kagome looked down at the dark green forests below her, this world was so beautiful even though it was so deadly…she thought back to what she had met Inuyasha, she had been so innocent back then. She was no longer that innocent girl, but slowly becoming a woman made for this lethal world of the past.

oOo

The Queen of the Celestial Maidens took the black crystal ball from Nori and turned to leave without another word. "Why are you doing this?" Nori asked…she still loved her former mate, but she didn't understand why her former rival was doing this when she hated their former love. Why was she going to put her live on the line for a man that she no longer loved?

Kagome turned and looked back at the old demoness, her eyes were dead of the life that once shined there hundreds of years ago. "I…I owe him for saving me and our s-"

"Bullshit…I hated you for taking him from me, and I hated that he lo-"

"HE DIDN'T LOVE ME!" Kagome shouted at Nori, her heart felt the daggers of her words rip through her heart. The one that she loved had simply desired her body…and then betrayed her for his true love, the memories choked her and make it a struggle to pull the air into her lungs. But she refused to let her tears flow freely any longer, she would not cry for her former love, she would not cry anymore for the betrayal that he threw at her when she was pregnant with their…her son. "He never loved me; he loved Izayoi…after all he was going to kill Inuyasha because she asked him to." Kagome whispered as the memory played in her mind.

"Then why?" Nori asked, her mind was spinning at Kagome's words. She remembered that day as well as Kagome did; the blood is the air, Katsu on the floor beside Izayoi, both have been covered in blood, Kagome had been covered in her blue flames again as tears flowed down her face.

Kagome looked at Nori, she didn't want to answer that question yet…she didn't think she ever could end it.

oOo

Kagome landed at the edge of a big town with Mayumi and Naoko on her shoulders, she barely noticed how everyone stared her walk through the twon. The townsfolk and the travellers watched her as she walked, looking for what she needed to make her gift for Katsu. They were stunned that such a beauty was in their little town, looking through the stalls, with no one with her at her side to guard her. One of the men ran to the brothel with a plan for Kagome in mind.

Kagome knew that she should simply use her powers to create what she needed for Katsu's gift, but she didn't feel that the gift would be as special if she did. "What are you looking for?" A little girl asked after she had gathered the courage to go up to Kagome and to talk to her. Kagome smiled down at the little girl, reminded of Rin and Sango's little girls. "I'm look for some really good thread to use for a gift for my friend." Kagome replied to the question, seeing no harm in answering. The girl stared at Kagome, she couldn't remember the last time that she had seen a woman as pretty as the one before her.

"Are you human? You look too pretty to be human, so are you?" The girl asked, being as blunt as stone and shocking Kagome a little with being so blunt. "I was human, but that was few years ago. I'm what you would call a Celestial Maiden now though," Kagome answered before the crowd fell silent from her words.

The men were shocked that a Celestial Maiden stood before them; they all knew the story of what it meant to have a Celestial Maiden in their town. They all thought that one of them was about to gain Kagome as a wife, ignoring her words for their fantasies. "Oh…wow, a Celestial Maiden! I have never seen one of you before! I thought you were only in stories!" The little girl squealed in delight as she jumped up and down in her excitement. Kagome giggled at the little girl's delight, happy that she had made the little girl's day.

oOo

"Father…loved your mother more than anything else in this realm," Sesshomaru said, thinking back to when their father had carried Kagome's body with such care and how it had upset his mother again. Sesshomaru thought of all the times that their father had smiled at Kagome, how his smile had never been forced or fake like those meant for his mother. "Father only seemed truly happy when he was at her side…my mother would be the one that you shou-"

Sesshomaru was interrupted by suddenly being slammed into the mat that he sat on, leaving the others in utter shock. Sesshomaru was quick to growl at his brother and friends, only to again be slammed into the mat floor. "STOP THAT! YOU DAMN HAG!" Sesshomaru roared and slammed into the mat floor again and again until there was a mat floor, the wood flooring it disappeared into a hole with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha was shocked for a few moments before laughing at his brother's suffering; his mother had to be fearless if she could do this to his brother like it was nothing. Inuyasha laughed until he was slammed into the mat floor as well, which cause Miroku and Sango to laugh at Inuyasha, and his mother's clear way of scolding him for laughing at his brother.

"I don't think your mother is happy about you laughing at your brother, Inuyasha." Sango stated when she finally stopped laughing at Inuyasha, and sudden show of cherry blossoms rained down on Sango, to which she and her husband took as Inuyasha's mother's way of telling Sango was right. Inuyasha glared at Sango, as he muttered about how mothers were nothing, but a pain in the ass to which landed him in a hole made by his face.

"Does she ever stop?!" Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru as the two brothers dug themselves out of the holes that they were in. "No, she doesn't. Be glad that she's not pregnant at the moment…Father was the one that knew how to calm her down when she was pregnant, normally from what I remember, it had involved her on her back in their room and the sounds of ma-" Sesshomaru disappeared down his hole again before he could finish telling Inuyasha how their father would mate with his mother to put her in a better mood.

Inuyasha stared at his brother's hole for a moment as he was in shock of the thought of his mother having sex with their father…or anyone at that. He was in truth, having a hard time not puking at the thought of someone pawing at his mother. "Damn you, Sesshomaru. I don't want to know that my mother had sex in the past or now," Inuyasha growled as he fight the bile that rose in his throat. Mushin heard this and couldn't help, but chuckle.

"Then I doubt you would be happy to hear that your mother is about to become a bride," the old Monk said before handing Miroku a mug of tea. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru shot up of their holes at Mushin's words to see the old Monk was suddenly soaking wet with cold water, the two half-brothers would have glared at the Monk for the light punishment, but they're more interested in the fact that he had said that Inuyasha's mother was getting married. "What are you talking about, you old drunk?" Inuyasha shouted at Mushin before being slammed into the mat floor a little hard then before…clearly his mother was unhappy that her son's punishment for bad manners wasn't getting through his thick skull.

"Continue old Monk," Sesshomaru ordered, only to have Mushin shake his head 'no'. Sesshomaru growled at the old Monk and was likely to force the knowledge of his lips when he as well was slammed into the mat floor like his younger brother. "Why not, Master Mushin?" Miroku asked, seeing the pattern that was about to form.

Mushin looked at the younger Monk, "Because she gave me the warning and to be truthful, I'm more scared of her than of her son or of Sesshomaru. And yes, she told me all about him, and She's still scarier than him." The old Monk explained, remembering all the things that his old friend and the love of his life could and would do. Mushin looked at his mat flooring and sighed before grabbing Inuyasha. "You're fixing my floor!"

oOo

Katsu paced around his study like a tiger in its cage, he wanted to go and see Kagome, but he knew that she would be pissed at him if he did. He wouldn't lie to himself anymore, he was in love with Kagome, but he was scared shitless of her anger…and any sane person or demon would be scared of her anger as well. He knew for a fact that his guards were horrified at the thought of pissing her off even a little after a number of them saw the hole that she had made with Sesshomaru's face. He smiled, Kagome was probably going have Sesshomaru wrapped around her finger in no time…his son was a sucker for females.

Katsu frowned at that thought…his mate had their son wrapped around her twisted little finger since the day he was born. He loved his mate…but he was never in love with her, his own father had not loved his mate, but instead loved his mother.

He turned and walked out of his office, he felt the desire to go and see his son. It was going to be slow, but there were going to be some big changes in their lives so and he felt he needed to prepare his son. He was unhappy when he found his son with his mate in the gardens; walking towards them, he noticed how Sesshomaru glared at him with hard and emotionless eyes…it was clear to him that he was failing as a father to his son. "My mate," Nori greeted Katsu with a silky and happy voice, likely because he had been hiding from her since Kagome's revival two weeks ago.

To be true, he didn't want to see his mate…he wanted to see Kagome and talk with her about what he should do, but that wasn't possible at the moment. "Sessomaru, I want to talk to you."

oOo

Kagome awoke in a haze, her head was hurt and she knew instantly that she had been kidnapped…again. Gods, she could already hear Katsu lectured about being kidnapped again, she didn't want to be lectured again! Kagome got up and took in her surroundings after taking note that she didn't have a sealing bracelet on her. Kagome went to the door, planning to kick ass for being kidnapped again. Opening the door, she noticed that there were four guards waiting for her it seemed; Kagome was about to complain though because this was just what she wanted.

Kagome was quick to burst into her blue flames, suddenly filled with the urge to thank Midoriko for the lessons that she had been giving her for the last few weeks. The guards backed down in a heartbeat and run in the other direction the moment she burst into flames, to which was becoming her favorite new trick. Letting the flames drop, Kagome quickly broke into a run, she wanted out of there and to be back at the Cloud Palace after she found her cats that is.

Kagome turned and twisted in every direction with guards on her tail until she was cornered. Kagome froze as the guards moved in to grab her, she didn't know what to do, and her mind was drawing blanks in ways to escape them when she disappeared just as one of the guards grabbed her arms.

Kagome was shocked when she appeared on the rooftop of the building and took note…that she was on and had been in a brothel! Kagome started to pace on the rooftop, trying to think of an answer to her problem, she couldn't leave without her cats and she didn't even remember anything in coming to this horrible place, but her head did hurt a little. Someone must have hit her on the head again, when she got back, she would have to think of something nasty to do to Sesshomaru for the asshole that hit her. She couldn't help, but sigh; she didn't know what to do besides doing something nasty to Sesshomaru…maybe make him kiss a guy? That would be funny to see, even more so if she made him add tongue to it!

Kagome sat down on the roof as she thought of what to do; resting her head in her hands, she found herself wishing Katsu would appear and help her as tears came to her eyes. She cried for a minute before she noticed the cries of fear and panic that ring throughout the town, rising her head from her hands, she was surprised when she saw a giant silver-haired dog flying through the sky towards her, it's eyes were red as blood.

Katsu saw Kagome on top of a tall building; the wind carried the scent of her tears to him. His golden eyes turned red with rage at the thought of someone upsetting Kagome, but when he was close enough to see that her beautiful face looked at him like he was the answer to all her problems, the rage bleed away to uncover the desire to hold her. Unable to resist the urge to hold her, Katsu changed back when he was only an arm's length away from her and took her into his arms by surprise. As surprised as Kagome was, she didn't push him away and held him tighter to her. "Why are you crying, Kagome?" He whispered into her ear, filling Kagome with a sense of everything was going to be fine, similar to how Inuyasha had in the past, but it was different as was.

She felt like nothing could ever hurt her when she was by his side and that she never wanted to be away from him for more than day. It was so unlike anything she had ever felt when she had been with Inuyasha, when she had been with him, she had felt safe, but it was like this. Being in Katsu's arms, Kagome felt the safest she had ever been and didn't want him to let her go.

She wanted to stay in his arms.

Realizing that the thought was not normal, Kagome pushed him away and turned her back to him. Confusion spun in her mind like a spider spinning her web, Kagome looked down at the titled roof; she was simply reminded of Inuyasha, but her body screamed something else. She had felt the embers of the fire that burned inside of them, move within her, so close to reviving the fire that would burn them. Katsu watched Kagome, worried that he had scared her when he held her in his arms. He didn't want to scare her, he simply wanted to hold her and take the pain within her.

"Sorry, Katsu." Kagome muttered as she scolded herself when she saw the look on his face. "You have nothing to be sorry for," he told her, making her smile at him. "But tell me what has caused you to cry?" He wanted to know so that he could die it when she was looking, he knew that she did not have a taste for blood and did not want to upset her more so.

Kagome told him about what happened and saw the red bleed back into his eyes, she felt a little worried about what he was going to do. "I'll take care of it," he simply told her and ordered her to remain on the roof until he was done…like she was going to be an obedience little girl. Katsu floated down with Kagome following him, he was not happy when he smelled the burning of herbs that were dangerous to demons, he walked through the brothel and started his search for the two demonic cats. He was not happy with what he found.

Mayumi and Naoko were fighting off guards and were having a difficult time with it. Mayumi was barely standing and Naoko was doing all that he could to defend them from humans that would normally be child's play to kill. Kagome felt a terrible rage build inside of her at the sight of her cats; with the rage boiling inside of her, she didn't seem to have control of her powers. The wind outside almost blasted the brothel from its foundations and the earth rose into spiked pillars that impaled one or two of the guards, but Kagome was blinded by her rage and the light that was swallowing her.

Mayumi and Naoko were tired and weak from the herbs, changed back into their normal forms. Katsu didn't go to them though, he instead grabbed Kagome and forced her attention onto him. "Kagome, I need you to calm down." He said, hoping that she wouldn't turn her rage at him, and he was quite lucky in that she didn't. Slowly Kagome calmed down and her powers died down, she was upset though when she saw that she had killed two guards.

"What happened?" She asked, but Katsu said nothing as he walked over to her cats and picked them up. "Let's go."

oOo

"My Lord , please do something about Midoriko." Shizuka begged her father-in-law, she couldn't stand it any longer! She wanted her husband back in her bed and in her arms, and out of that Whore's. Her Isao have started to develop a distaste for being around her and their son, all he seemed to want was to be with his Whore and her son. She wouldn't stand for the humiliation any longer, she would have been fine…even happy if he had taken a woman from another clan. It would have strengthened their son's future as the head of the clan, but no! Isao would only been with his beloved flower!

Isao's father looked at his daughter-in-law, he knew that she was right and something needed to be done about the Celestial maiden. Maybe he needed to have the clan's Shadow lord deal with this.

oOo

Kagome sighed as she held onto Katsu's fur, feeling better about killing two men. "We're here, Kagome." Katsu said before she let him go and floated down from his back. She was not happy to see Sesshomaru there, waiting for them and glaring at them both with a look in his eyes that say he was disgusted with his father and hated her guts without question.

Little pissed off about the day that she had had, she glared back at him before noticing the guard nearby. She gave Sesshomaru an evil smile that send a chill down his back, just before his body began to move on its own. Sesshomaru fought for control, but still his body moved towards the guard, which was frozen with fear; Katsu watched his son, wondering what he was going to do. Kagome was still smiling like an evil witch as she made Sesshomaru move towards the guard, she was going to enjoy this…she just wished that she had a camera so she could show Inuyasha a picture when she saw him again.

Sesshomaru was starting to freak out when his arms reached out and pulled the guard to him. Fighting with all his willpower, he couldn't stop his body as his head moved and kissed the guard full-on the lips. Kagome watched in delight as Katsu was shocked to his very core; the sight of Sesshomaru kissing the guard turned Kagome's evil smile into a gentle and sweet one, she felt so much better now.

She was about to leave and go back to her room, and release Sesshomaru from her control when she remembered the tongue!

P.s

I'm not against gay rights and those people that are, well you can go and fuck yourself before going to hell, bitches and bastards!
