Chapter 19:
Sesshoumaru crouched over Kagome's limp body in shock and confusion. His eyes were wide, feeling the blood drain from his already pale face. His mind denied the dead raven haired beauty that lay before his eyes, taken by his very hand and sword. There in front of him was the girl who he really wasn't certain how he felt about her until now.
"Kagome…" He whispered again. This time it was so soft that it could've been carried away by the wind. His tone was passionate as he reached to touch her still, warm cheek. Rubbing her finger softly, his heart fell at each stoke. He felt as if he couldn't breathe any more, as if he was dead just like her. For a second it felt as if she had responded to his touch but, realizing the reality was that she was no longer here.
With an overcoming feeling, Sesshoumaru quickly stood on his feet. He had suddenly wanted the earth to fell, hear, and see his agony and anger, his pain. "KAGOME!!!" He howled at the large, round moon. No response. He balled his fists near his sides. Dipping his head back, he howled again, rocking the atmosphere. The earth replied in an eerie silence. Falling to his knees, "ka – go – me…" he managed to say, chokingly. He bowed his head and trembled in silence. He killed Kagome, the only person who could help him and his mother. The only one who knew how much he hurt inside and how much he wanted revenge. Nobody knows what he's going though now, nobody but him.
Turning his attention to the moon once again, he jerked himself up. "Why?" He screeched to the pale moon. "Why do things have to end this way?" All his anger and bitterness poured out of his mouth for a change. "Wretched moon! Wretched life! Wretched girl!" Sesshoumaru stuck the ground with his fists. It shook underneath him, sending a wave back through his body. He shivered from the wave. The looked at Kagome again. Right when he laid his eyes on her, right at that moment he knew one thing.
He, the great Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands was in love. Deeply in love with the woman he had just killed with his armed hand and with those vile hands, he would bury her where she would be put to rest.
He gathered her body. Swiftly, he stood up with her in his arms. Her body was limp and lifeless like she was dripping out of his arms. His face grew hard and cold as he walked back to his castle. Yes, he would bury her in his garden. She would be close to where she belonged, with him.
He walked slowly, trudging past the area where all of this happened. Sesshoumaru's posture was straight, facing forward. He never looked at what was in his arms. His eyes fixed at the trail ahead and his mouth twitched in a downward curl. Yet he moved gracefully and somewhat quickly. Kagome's hair swayed back and forth from the soft movements. Kagome's arm fell form her side and the jade bracelet slipped from her thin wrists. Sesshoumaru did not notice but instead but her down gently. He dug his claws into the cold earth. Pulling up gravel, he dug up Kagome's resting place one stoke after another. Finally, his claws lined with dirt, he dug a burial hole. HE lifted Kagome and placed her inside. He noticed something beside him. It was a bracelet. He picked it up, examining it. It must have belonged to Kagome. It looked like a royal bracelet. It had the engraving, H. Then it struck Sesshoumaru, H was for Hirgurashi. This bracelet was the royal family item. If Kagome had had this bracelet, then Kagome was his enemy's daughter. It must be some mistake. Kagome couldn't possible be…
Sesshoumaru glazed at Kagome's pale face. She had risked her life to save her father's and possibly his if her father had a way to kill him. A large wave sorrow swept over him for some odd reason. He knew this feeling he was feeling. The feeling of losing a loved one. Suddenly a beam of light shot out of Kagome, sending Sesshoumaru back, shielding his eyes from the brightness. Sesshoumaru watched in confusion as the yellow light spread across her chest, sealing her soul back into her body.
As the light ceased, Sesshoumaru heard her slight breathing, gradually increasing. Her chest rose and fell and the blood began to fill her veins, making her cheeks rosy and warm again. Kagome's eyes fluttered open and she meet Sessshoumaru's golden eyes. For the first time since Kagome meet Sesshoumaru, she saw something else rather than impassiveness. She saw passion mixed with sorrow and anger.
"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome groaned. She reached for his face. He grabbed her hand and placed it over his cheek, feeling her warm touch replenish his body.
"Kagome…" Sesshoumaru said softly as he pulled her up from her grave. He pulled her close to him. Kagome looked at him, confused.
"Sesshoumaru…" Kagome started to say but he gently covered her mouth.
"Before you say anything, I just want to tell you that I love you and that I don't care whose daughter you are." Sesshoumaru confessed. Kagome looked at his golden eyes. They were telling the truth. Kagome welled up with happiness and joy. They were so close to each other that their noses were touching. Kagome caught Sesshoumaru with her deep eyes as she pulled him in closer to her. Their lips meet in a sweet tender kiss. Sesshoumaru finally felt loved and wanted. They pulled away, looking in each others eyes and both of them knew that they could not put anything between them because they loved each other so much.
Kagome hesitated at first. "Sesshoumaru, you know who I am, don't you?"
Sesshoumaru remained silent. Kagome grew nervous at the silence. "Yes, I do." He said. "But I don't care who you are. I'll forget about it."
"But…" Sesshoumaru watched Kagome look away. A tear rolled down her cheek and land on the hard ground.
Sesshoumaru wiped her face with his thumb. "I can live without revenging my father, I can't live without you." He assured her. He held her face firmly so that her eyes met his.
She smiled and nodded. She wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him tight. Her head was against his chest, listening to his heartbeat faster and faster as she pressed onto him.
He buried his face in her neck, inhaling her sweet scent. It had returned to her normal scent a while ago. "Kagome…" He murmured. At that moment he felt the need to kiss her, hold her, and never let her go.
They led each other to the castle. Once they got into Kagome's room, Sesshoumaru kissed her forehead and turned to leave but Kagome caught his wrist.
"Please, stay with me." Kagome said softly. Sesshoumaru responded with a hard kiss. (A/n: should I make this R rated... and lemony? …… nah……muahahaha) He flickered his tongue in her mouth, tasting her sweet insides. (A/n: can 13 year old read this? Maybe I should make this R rated…) Falling onto the bed, Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around Kagome, allowing her to fall asleep in his embrace as he watched over her and made sure she was alright through the night.
