Chapter 18:
Kagome trembled as she held the watery substance. It was a gray, smoky, and thick concoction. Kagome asked herself one more time if what she was about to commit was the right thing to do. Kagome blinked back tears. Of course this was right. There was nothing around it. It was either this or stand back and let the ones she loved the most die. Kagome snapped out of her trance. Setting the liquid in a drawer, she exited out of her room.
Walking down the hall she tried to soak in everything that she saw everyday but never really paid attention to it. Funny the way a person fees right before they leave. Kagome felt as if every little thing was important. From the dust in the carpet to the little nails that keep the pictures on the walls. Kagome crossed Sesshoumaru's office.
She paused in front of it, debating whether she should go in. It was awkward. Kagome rest her hand on the door knob about to open it. Sesshoumaru, after all knew she was standing in front of his door. Kagome thought twice. She pulled back her hand. What would she say to him? That she was planning to…
"Come in if you're going to stand there." Sesshoumaru retorted. Kagome jumped from behind the door, startled at Sesshoumaru's invitation. Kagome nervously slipped through the door.
"Why are you nervous?" Sesshoumaru asked, a bit curiously. "Did you do something wrong or something?"
"No... of course not." Kagome stuttered. She stood uneasily in front of Sesshoumaru. He noticed the discomfort between them.
"Well, what do you want?" Sesshoumaru asked, irritated.
"Are you... I mean... you know about King Hirgurashi. Are you really going through with this tonight?" Kagome managed to ask. She waited for an answer.
"Yes. I am. What does this have to do with you?" Sesshoumaru asked curiously. Kagome looked forward and had a brief flashback.
Flashback~-* out in the forest... when Kikyou told Kagome to meet her...
"Kikyou!" Kagome came out of the bushes. She smiled and waved happily at Kikyou. Kikyou smiled back and stepped forward to embrace her sister.
"Kagome, I missed you." Kikyou said as she gave Kagome a quick squeeze. She pulled away from Kagome, brushing her hair form her face.
"It's good to see you Kikyou." Kagome said as she smiled.
"Yes it is." Kikyou and Kagome stood silently, smiling in each others presence.
"Well, you wanted to discuss something?" Kagome broke the silence. She waited for Kikyou to explain about the man she was with in the forest.
Instead Kikyou said: "Kagome, do you have the Shikon no Tama?"
"Why yes…" Kagome reached for the jewel under her shirt. "Here it is." Kagome held out the jewel. Kagome didn't know whether to give it up or defy Kikyou and run.
Kikyou picked the jewel off of Kagome's hand. "Thank you." Kikyou said. She marveled at the jewels beauty. This was going to get rid of Kagome's problems. Kikyou smiled as she thought she was tricking Kagome. Kagome smiled because she knew she was tricking Kikyou.
"Uh, Kikyou?" Kagome got Kikyou's attention. "You wouldn't happen to know about Lord Sesshoumaru. He is going to let me go next week. His mother has healed!" Kagome said in a fooling excited tone. Hopefully Kikyou and her father would forget about killing Sesshoumaru.
"That's great!!!" Kikyou exclaimed. Now Kagome could be with her forever but she would kill Sesshoumaru first. She wanted his land. Finally her life would be complete.
"But I'm going to marry um... Hojo and I are going to leave the country with him." Kagome lied. Kikyou's hopes fell.
"Why?" Kikyou quavered. She looked at Kagome, hurt and concerned.
"Because I love him." Kagome replied. 'Not hojo but Sesshoumaru.' She added mentally. She didn't even know a Hojo she just made him up so Kikyou wouldn't look for her when she disappeared.
"Kagome…" Kikyou was on the verge of tears. She gripped Kagome's wrist tightly as if telling Kagome she didn't want her to leave.
"Listen Kikyou. I'll miss you so much." Kagome suddenly embraced Kikyou tightly. Tears rolled down her cheeks, knowing that this was the last time she would be with her sister. "I love you." Kagome whispered in Kikyou's ears.
Kikyou froze in shock. It felt as if Kagome was leaving and that she was never going to see her again. "Kagome… I love you to." Kikyou replied. A sob escaped from her lips. Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. Kikyou and Kagome broke into hysterical sobs, hugging each other tightly.
~-* End of Flashback*~
"Everything…" Kagome said quietly, staring out into space.
"What?" Sesshoumaru asked confused.
Kagome blinked as she realized what she had just said. "Oh nothing. It doesn't have to do with me. I was just wondering." Kagome said, dazed. She turned and left the room before Sesshoumaru could say anything.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
Kagome slipped out of the castle when Sesshoumaru was out on his regular patrol. The night was chilly and dark. The night didn't seem right. It felt out of place, like what Kagome was doing was wrong. Kagome shook the feeling of. What she was doing was protecting the ones she loved. She knew Kikyou would be devastated if their father was slain. Plus he was her father to. The man who made her existence possible. It would be wrong to stand back and let him die. Then there was Sesshoumaru. Kagome didn't know why but she didn't want to betray him. He had a hard life. Kagome wanted him to be happy. Kagome stood in the middle of a field. Clutching the large cloak over her, she pulled on the hood. She pulled out the liquid concoction from under her sleeve. Holding it up in the air, Kagome nodded. This was what she was going to do. Closing her eyes, she drank the sweet yet bitter liquid, feeling it seep with in her blood. She allowed it to take over her scent, chemically changing to resemble a man's There she waited for Sesshoumaru to cross paths.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
Sesshoumaru gripped the Tensaiga as he came closer to the stranger's scent. This was it. He was going to get his revenge. He would use this old sword to kill the filthy human who killed his father. The human didn't deserve to die by his bare hands.
Sesshoumaru came out from the clearing. He spotted a figure in a large cloak. He snarled as he proceeded.
"Are you Higurashi?" Sesshoumaru growled at the lone figure. The figure nodded solemnly.
"Ok, I hope you don't have any last words." Sesshoumaru snarled as he lunged at his prey. 'This is for you father!' Sesshoumaru thought as he sliced through the murderer.
He fell to the ground. It was quick, easy, and relieving. Sesshoumaru remained calm and collected. Somehow it didn't feel right. Years of hatred, revenge, and agony was all summed up to a five second death.
Sesshoumaru turned, maybe he would feel better when he talked to Kagome about it. He stopped. He didn't even see his father's murderers face. Turning to look at the man's face, Sesshoumaru once again stopped. Did he really want to see that face. Would it haunt his soul as long as he lived? Sesshoumaru shook away from that thought. He was the demon lord. Sesshoumaru reached for the hood of the cloak to reveal his face. Peeling the cloth away, it revealed something that Sesshoumaru would never have thought of.
"Kagome…" Sesshoumaru breath.
