Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

She woke up alone in her bed, but she could still feel his warmth. She smiled as she smoothed her hand over the spot where he had laid. Her quiet musing was cut short by a knock at her door.

"Kagome, get up, or you will miss it."

Kagome got up slowly and hissed slightly.

"Kagome?"

"I'm ok, Sango, I'm coming."

She forgot the guys were leaving today. She quickly dressed in the only thing clean, her Miko outfit. The guys were armored up and ready to go.

"Why are they doing this again?" Kagome asked Sango.

"It is a survival thing."

"But, we already know that can survive."

"It just red tape really, plus Inuyasha is dying to move his legs."

"Yeah, so can we get going please!" He huffed.

Miroku grabbed Sango's hands. "Dont worry, my Love, I will return soon!" Their toddlers giggled at their feet.

"Io you pervert, we will be back in three days," He grabbed Miroku's robe and pulled.

"Where is Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked,

Sesshomaru and Mika were in his office.

Sesshomaru leaned down to pick up his sword, "Touch her, and I will kill you myself," He told her.

"Claiming humans like your father."

He slapped her, " You are not the bitch of this house, stay your mouth, woman."

Her eyes were challenging "I smell her on you."

He leaned in, "You saw me in her."

"You are throwing away your land, title, and namesake for what, a human girl, your mother will hear about this"

"I do not care about my mother; your treats are empty."

"Sesshomaru!"

"Enough," He yelled and turned, "You can tell my mother I will not mate with you."

He put his hands on the door "As for the Miko, I am merely fucking her not that I need to explain myself to the likes of you," He threw open the door and stormed out.
Mika kept her eyes on the doorway, and soon Kagome stepped into view.

"How long have you been there?" Mika asked,

"Long enough," Kagome said sadly "You were right."

Mika let her hand fall "Of course I was right," Her voice faltered,

"I'm sorry he hit you."

"I was out of line," Mika stepped forward,

"He still shouldn't have hit you."

Mika eyed her and then began to walk away, but the paused, "He shouldn't have used you."

Then she vanished.

Kagome drew in a shaky breath, "You did it to yourself stupid."

She walked back to her room. "But he didn't have to be so crude with the way he said it." She huffed, "Big jerk."

For the next three days, Kagome kept busy helping Sango with the twins and Rin. Shippo and Jaken entertained themselves, and Mika stayed clear away from them all.
Sesshomaru's mother did not come around till the day they were to arrive back.

"Come stand with me, Miko."

Kagome didn't truly trust his mother but did as she asked.

Soon the men came into view.

"Who's that with them?" Sango asked, shading her eyes from the sun.

His mother smirked.

Mika looked at her as did Kagome.

"I received word that a demoness had joined them."

"What does this mean?" Mika asked,

His mother turned to her, "It means you are dismissed."

Kagome looked at her. Mika snorted and turned and stormed off.

"Mika, wait," Kagome chased after her.

"Leave me be, go away."

"Mika,"

"Ha, are you happy now, Miko?"

"What?"

"I was so worried about you, and here it is someone else."

"Someone else?"

Mika smirked, "I told you he would not fall in love with you, poor Miko, did you think one good rut with him do him in?"

"You thought that would be all it took,"

"No, his seed in my womb would have been all it took, I wasn't looking for his love."

They heard everyone talking outside behind them.

"I have been replaced and make no mistake, Miko, you will be as well. You would do better letting him have his way with you then hoping for his heart; I assure you he doesn't want yours."

"At least I have a heart!"

Mika snorted, "What good is a heart when it can be broken, ne Miko?"

That stung. Yes, she knew what that felt like.

With that, Mika took her leave.

Tears filled in Kagome's eyes surely this is not what the well sent her back for? She could not greet them now, not upset like this. She ran to her room and threw up a barrier.

"Where is the Miko?" Sesshoamru asked,

"She went after Mika; it seemed they bonded in your absence" His mother stated,

Sesshomaru did not like the sound of that. One thing he did pick up on was that she was blocking everyone out, he could not smell her or feel her and he didnt like either.

"Come," He told the woman beside him.

"Hia"

He made his way to her room and knocked on the door, "Miko."

She didnt reply,

"Kagome"

He opened the door, but she wasn't there, just her extra power.

She was somewhere around the place, "Is your Miko missing my Lord?"

He looked around the room, "Hn."

He closed the door.

Of course, when Sesshomaru and the newest demoness entered the gardens, Kagome quickly ducks by into her room from the balcony window. She peered down at them as Sesshomaru walked around the blond-haired girl. He stopped behind her, and Kagome eyelashes dipped down as he brushed the girl's hair to the side. She knew what he was doing. "Perhaps she fell into his lap."

But now, where did that leave her?

Heartbroken, because she indeed had a heart, and at some point, it started to beat for him.
