Chapter 26 :Truth

Kagome looked away meekly.

Sesshomaru looked down to the miko. Had his mate come to regret being his.

The thought made the demon feel out of sorts.

"I know you truly wanted to marry Kikiyo and, I understand. She's much more mature and able to-" For a second time today Kagome was cut off by her husband's laughter.

"Your house asked for my sister's hand!" Kagome's angered shout shut up the demon.

"The house of this one's father. Arranged this Sesshomaru's path. As did your family miko." His anger had finally been roused.

Kagome lept away from the demon. Anger paliable on her expression.

"Fine! Neither of us wanted the other!" As soon as the words were said Sesshomaru looked as if he had been struck. Hurt was open on his face.

Silence spilled over the pair.

Sesshomaru spoke his voice raw with hurt. "I never said as such. It was your father whom had fought against me to deny my first choice. Your father chose Kikiyo. Your sister did not want to face responsibilities. This Sesshomaru knows you are not fool enough to think we could choose to mate for love. You and I share a duty to lead the world beyound where it is now. To end the war and hopefully find companionship in one another. Do not lie to yourself Kagome. I was willing to look past it. I was not willing be so cold. You however see it differently than I." With that Sesshomaru turned and walked away from his mate.

Kagome stood shocked. Numbness took over. What had She done.
