Author's Corner!!
Shi-chan: Kon'nichi wa! Lots of people seem to really like this fanfiction, thus... even more!! XD Yayness!! I love getting good feedback and reviews of my fics. I even got some good emails about it!! That's cool! :) I didn't expect that (even though I email people about their fanfictions all the time). LOL
Sesshoumaru: Can't we please end all the excruciatingly evil fanfictions in which I am in?
Shi-chan: XD Noperz!
Sesshoumaru: e.e You're a sick, cruel, twisted wench.
Shi-chan: Yay!
Sesshoumaru: O_o;;
Shi-chan: Don't you "O_o;;" me!!! You're happy when you're called sick, cruel, and twisted!
Sesshoumaru: ...
***NOTE*** Okies someone said that Kagome accepted Inuyasha and her not being meant to be a little too quickly. This is my explanation: She just decided that if Inuyasha and her weren't meant to be, then perhaps it was Sesshoumaru after all who she was intended to be with. If that's so, then she'd OBVIOUSLY fall in love with him at some point, so why not go ahead with it now? :) There WAS indeed a reason for that. But don't worry... after this little scene, their relationship will have to develop. XD
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I... only if Kagome truly wants to be with you. If you'll promise you'll make her happy and that she'll not regret such a decision," Inuyasha said in a sad monotone, nearly inaudible.
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and nodded. "Very well, little brother. If Kagome is unhappy with me, she'll be free to leave. And she can come to visit you if it pleases her to do so, I suppose." Hiigurashi, still clutching her neck in an attempt to clot the bleeding, gasped. The great Lord Prince Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands was going to give into the compromise suggested by Inuyasha? It seemed... so unlike him...
The hanyou nodded and smiled, his eyes shining with the warning that he might shed tears. "Fine. I'll... see you later, Kagome. But remember... if you're not happy with Sesshoumaru... I'll always be willing to place high treason on my shoulders, and shred my dignity to bits just to have another chance with you."
The girl's eyes were so incredibly wide it seemed as though there was not room enough for her mouth, nose, and such. First Sesshoumaru makes a pact with his brother, then Inuyasha gives in, and THEN he says he'd be willing to shred his dignity. That was one thing that the hanyou prized more than his very life. He'd really do such things for Kagome? He'd never said anything of the sort to her before. He'd rather have been pinned back on his tree with an Enchanted Arrow. 'What's that saying? You don't know what you've got until it's gone? Perhaps that's what happened in our case...' the girl from the future thought, swallowing heavily. The action put pressure on her injury, inflicting more damage. She cringed and fell limp in her mate's arms.
Whilst the girl lied unmoving on the youkai's shoulder, she could just barely hear the voices of the two brothers. Neither one yelled, and they actually sounded... as though they loved each other... for the first time in forever. Unable to make out what they were saying, the priestess lost interest and began thinking to herself. For the two to suddenly be so comfortable, to an extent, with one another... there had to be so much more about their relationship she didn't know.
When the though crossed her mind, it hit her that she knew very little about either one's past. Sugimi had Sesshoumaru, with another youkai obviously, then fell for Inuyasha's mortal mother, and he was born. Then his mother left with him because she was scared of something, and it must've caused a dispute between the brothers. That was all she could infer from the information she had about them. Could it truly be that they loved each other at some point? That Sesshoumaru had once been the object of Inuyasha's admiration, affection, and idolism? "That's so... sweet..." Kagome said out loud, suddenly falling unconscious.
The hanyou and the youkai both glanced at the girl in confusion upon hearing what she murmured. They decided to disregard her words, however, and bade each other goodbye. "I love you, Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered as his elder brother made away with the second love of his life he'd lost.
When the reincarnated miko next awoke, she was in a large castle in lands she had never been in before. Jaken suddenly opened the doors, causing the girl to panic. "WHERE AM I?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" She demanded, her eyes wide. Jaken glared at Kagome and retorted, "I'm not going to hurt you wench! Sesshoumaru-sama has sent me here to tend to your wounds." The priestess calmed somewhat and lay back down so the toad youkai could clean her injury, which marked her mate of the inu youkai.
As Jaken mended the fangs marks, he kept murmuring things about "human girls", "Sesshoumaru-sama's favor," and "lucky wenches." Kagome wasn't listening to him, however; she was wondering if Sesshoumaru would truly be the one she was to be happiest with. Her mate's loyal servant finally finished tending to the sore and left the room, allowing Kagome to roll into a more comfortable position to think.
She wasn't quite sure if she believed the whole inu youkai tradition about mating. How could a bite determine fate? It didn't seem possible. The futuristic girl sighed and a smile played at her lips as she though ho very well it could indeed be true. 'I mean, I *did* get here through a well that connects this world to it hundreds of years further in time. Why wouldn't a little biting tradition work?' Kikyou's reincarnate then closed her eyes, preparing to drift asleep, as she was very exhausted.
As she did so, she could barely hear graceful footsteps entering her room and taking a seat on the foot of her bed.
A day later, Kagome awoke to a room full of sunshine, and Sesshoumaru sitting at the end of her bed. "Ohayo," he said gently. She blushed lightly in return, recalling all of the recent events and whispered, "Ohayo," in return. The prince then got up from her bed and moved to sit next to her. "Do you wish to live in this or one of my other castles here on?" He asked, his face being expressionless except for the soft look in his eyes that showed his affection for the mortal girl before him. She turned slightly pinker and looked to the bed. "Th-this is fine, Sesshoumaru."
The Lord of the Western Lands nodded and cupped a clawed hand around his mate's chin, bringing her eyes to meet his. "Very well. Then there are some things you should know. For one, you'll have servants attending you and you'll not have to get things for yourself. In every room there are bells with strings in which you ring, and my servants shall get whatever you need. Also, in a day or so you shall be moved to a different room in which will be made for you. Lastly, there is another human here that you'll need to come meet."
Kagome knit her eyebrows together in confusion and searched her mate's eyes to find an answer as to what he spoke of, but all emotion was lost from them by the time she began to look. It was his way of teasing her and saying she'd have to be patient. "Stay here, and I'll have someone bring you clothes to change into, and they'll then lead you downstairs for lunch. At lunch you shall meet the other mortal," was all he said before he left the room.
After sitting on the bed, puzzled, for a few minutes, a little kitsune youkai only slightly bigger than Shippou rushed in Kagome's temporary room with something in her hands. "Ah, Kagome-sama! My name is Nadeshiko, and Sesshoumaru-sama has ordered me to be you personal assistant from thus forward," she informed the girl. The raven-haired child smiled and knelt down to Nadeshiko's height. "You remind me of someone I know," she whispered. The kitsune sniffed the girl a moment, and her eyes lit up. "You smell faintly of my cousin!"
Kagome and Nadeshiko talked for a bit more, to find that the human was Shippou's 'adopted mother' and the cousin of the youkai servant. After chatting only a bit, the kitsune's eyes went wide and she hurriedly jumped behind Kagome, pulling off the top of her school uniform. "Daijobu, Nadeshiko-san?" The priestess asked, frowning at the sudden end of their conversation. The little youkai swallowed slightly and muttered, "I'm so sorry, Kagome-sama. I didn't mean to speak to you so disrespectfully. You are the Princess of the Western Lands and I spoke to you as though we were on the same level."
The reincarnated miko giggled as the kitsune helped her into the beautiful kimono Sesshoumaru had sent her. "Don't worry about it! Call me Kagome-chan. We're friends now, and being talked to like I'm better than other people makes me nervous." Her servant finished tying the bow and questioned, her hazel eyes large, "Are you sure?" Kagome nodded and hugged Nadeshiko. "Of course!"
After that was over, the two females ran all the way to the dining area in which Kagome was to meet the other human residing here. The two ran so fast, however, that they did not notice they were at the doors and dashed straight into them, causing the doors to fly open and the girls to fly right through them. Kagome laughed as she helped Nadeshiko up. "Well that was fun," she said, chuckling to herself. The kitsune smiled in reply and ran out of the room, knowing Sesshoumaru wanted to be alone with the two humans.

Shi-chan: Well people were complaining that they wanted Shippou to come live with Kagome, so I added in Nadeshiko! Since she's related to Shippou, he'll eventually come, and he'll be happy to have real family again! :) Yayness!
