A/N: nope nope nope, don't own Inu Yasha, k?
Kagome sat in Sesshomaru's arms as he flew through the forest. She was numb. Inu Yasha was dead and she... she was alone. She looked up at Sesshomaru and sighed. She now belonged to him by tradition. She hated the thought, but Inu Yasha and her had agreed for the best. She shut her eyes as the memory of that conversation came back to her mind.
~flashback~
"Kagome we need to talk." Inu Yasha said as he sat next to Kagome in the small cave they had claimed as theirs for the time being. Kagome was sitting by a fire cooking the meat Inu Yasha had caught. She looked up at him.
"What is it Inu Yasha? Is something wrong?"
"Tomorrow.... tomorrow we face Naraku. And I want you to be safe no matter what. No matter what, I don't want you to get into the battle very much."
"Well all be fine Inu Yasha, there's nothing to worry about." Kagome said, sure that she was correct. But Inu Yasha's face betrayed something different. Maybe he knew his own fate, or he was scared, but his eyes showed fear, something that Kagome had never seen in the golden orbs.
"Kagome if I die.... I want you understand something. Inu youkai have very strong traditions about mates in the families. One of those tradition is if I die... you will become Sesshomaru's mate... I want you to promise me, if I die, you will go with him willingly."
"What?? Why are we even talking about this?!?!"
"Promise me Kagome!"
"He'd kill me if I did." Kagome tried to reason.
"He couldn't it would be extremely improper and he hates going against protocol. He'll take care of you if I cant... so please promise me...." Kagome looked at him for a moment before finally nodding. Inu Yasha smiled and kissed her lightly, glad that she understood how important this was. He wanted her taken care of if he wasn't around.
~~end flashback~~
Inu Yasha must have known that he wasn't going to make it through the battle when he made her promise. Because here she was. In Sesshomaru's arms heading to who knows where. She closed her eyes and put her hands on the beads around her neck and whimpered softly.
Inu Yasha....
Sesshomaru continued through the forest at a rapid pace. He heard the girl whimper in his arms. He almost felt bad for her. Losing his brother right after mating with him, it was a truly terrible thing. This girl in his arms almost reminded him of Rin... but different. She was now relying on him to take care of her. He wondered if in fact he had the patience to take care of her.
Sesshomaru kept running until he finally arived at a large fudal palace that looked as if it were from a story book. Kagome's eyes widened at the sight. She would be stay here?? Life would be different that's for sure....
A/N I know I know eeechh... but I wanted to get the next chapter out, and right now, writer's block for this fic is high high high and I'm sleepy *sigh* so um if anyone has suggestions, comments or concerns please review and tell me, arigato!
