DL: Once again, I am stuck with DG's stories! People! Have pity on me! All she did was give me

an outline! That really helps! So, the writing will be quite slow, since I am going to being doing

five stories at once!

Shippo: She's in a bad mood, because DG blackmailed her into doing it. ^_^

Kagome: Can we start?

Sesshoumaru: Sure. (Grabs Kagome and drags her into a spare room.)

Kagome: That wasn't what I was talking about, (sweat drop.) But who's complaining?

Inuyasha: I am!

DL: Any way, I don't own Inuyasha, and I never will!

Life Just Became Worse



It had been three whole months, and everyone has returned to the Western Castle.

Everyone was glad to be back, sort of.

~Miroku's POV~



Finally I'm home! I thought as I limped in with the aid of many servants. Sango sure is

something. After half an hour, I finally made it into the throne room. I was late. Is it me, or is

everyone glaring at me?

"Miroku." growled Inutaisho. "What took you so long?"

"I am handicapped?" I suggested, hoping I would make it out alive. To my relief,

Inutaisho nodded his head.

From the looks of all the happy and smiley faces, I guess all the princesses are found.

When I said smiley and happy faces, that excluded Sesshoumaru. Just in case you wanted to

know. What's this? It seems like Sesshoumaru and Kagome had a child. Wait, did they speed

grow her? No, she must have been adopted.

I was brought out of my thoughts when Inutaisho stated happily. "All the princesses are

here, and let me introduce them to you."

I drooled as I looked at all the beautiful women before my gaze.

~Sesshoumaru POV~



I watched as Miroku drooled, I am truly disgusted with him at times. I brought my

attention back to my Father as he began to announce the princesses.

"This is the eldest princess, Kikyou. Being a miko all her life, she specializes in miko

powers and the bow and arrow." stated my father. I watched as Inuyasha's mouth dropped wide

open. I could tell Inuyasha was really happy.

"Unfortunately, from what I know, the second princess is in the clutches of the most evil

being, Naraku." continued my father. "We will save her as soon as we can, but for now, I'll

introduce the remaining princesses. The third princess is Sango, who specializes with all kinds of

weapons, and demon exterminating. " I watched as Miroku, like Inuyasha, had his mouth drop to

the floor.

~Author's POV~



"When did you find out?" asked Miroku with a dazed look.

"I found out when I left you!" yelled Sango, slapping Miroku yet again.

"Oh yeah, why did you leave?" asked Miroku.

"Because of your wandering hand, and perverted brain!"

~Kagome's POV~



I wonder what happened? Probably just another cat fight they got into, but I know Sango

likes Miroku.

"Next, we have the fourth princess, Bella! Who specializes,...." I snapped my head up to

see Bella. Oh, no, please, why? Sesshoumaru must have felt me tense, because he grabbed my

hand and gently squeezed it. I calmed down a little, but not much.

"...." continued Inutaisho, he must be trying to think of something Bella specializes in. I

really wanted to say that she specialized in seducing men, and ordering me around, but I kept my

mouth shut.

~Sesshoumaru's POV~

"Okay, lets move on, next we have Niki." continued my father, but I wasn't paying

attention. I know Kagome is not happy and feeling stressed. "Then last of all, is the sixth

princess, Kali!"

As soon as my father finished, Kagome grabbed Rin's hand and left. I followed, only to

be stopped by my father's hand. I really wanted to growl, but I had to show respect to my father,

so I kept it in. I watched as my father dismissed everyone. The he turned to me, and motioned for

me to sit down.

"Sesshoumaru, I know you won't like this, but you must do as I tell you, or...lets just say,

you won't like the results." stated my father. I know I won't like this, one little bit.

"What is it?" I asked. (Wanna know what Inutaisho told Sesshoumaru? Well, I'm not

gonna!)

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

How can I do it? I asked myself as I strolled down the road in the garden. I heard yelling

and slapping, and I was at the scene in a flash. I watched as Bella slapped Kagome again, with a

crying Rin behind Kagome.

"Stop it!" screamed Rin as she stood in front of Kagome. I better do something before

things turn ugly. I was going to stop, when my father's words came back to me. I closed my eyes

and used all my will power to look emotionless, then I walked up to them.

Bella stopped slapping Kagome when I arrived. I walked up to them, and asked, "What's

wrong?"

"Kagome betrayed me, and I am just teaching her to learn her place." stated Bella. Bella

raised her hand to slap Kagome again, but I stopped her. Bella raised an eyebrow at me. "Are

you trying to protect a servant?"

I contained my urge to growl and faced Kagome. I couldn't bare to look at Kagome, but I

had too. I used all my will just to bring up my hand. SLAP! The sound echoed throughout the

courtyard. It hurt me a lot when I slapped Kagome, and wanted to rush to her side and tell her I'm

sorry, but I didn't.

I kept my emotionless mask on, and commanded. "Leave, and go do what a servant

should do." I watched as Kagome ran away, I knew she was hurting, but I was too. I was brought

out of my painful thoughts when Rin started yelling at me.

"Why did you hurt Kagome-nee-chan? Rin hate you!" I watched as Rin ran away, trying

to find Kagome. I resisted the urge to look for Kagome too.

"That was so great!" exclaimed Bella. "I feel so much better!" My hand twitched to rip

Bella apart. That was when I noticed my hand was covered in blood, Kagome's blood. I felt

horrible.

"I'll take you back to your chambers" I stated as a happy Bella followed behind me.

Sorry Kagome, I apologized in my mind, I really had to do it, for your safety.

~Kagome's POV~



I can't believe Sesshoumaru slapped me. I thought he was going to save me, like always,

but I was wrong. I have no one, NO ONE!" I screamed at the sky. I slowly plopped down onto

the grassy forest ground and looked into the pond at my reflection. I stared at the wound that

Sesshoumaru so mercilessly inflicted on me, it was deep, and it hurt, but what hurt most was my

heart.

I touched my wound, this is Sesshoumaru's claw marks. It will probably leave a scar for

all eternity, I thought to myself as hatred slowly wiggled its way into my heart. I didn't notice,

not did I care. I just wanted everyone who hurt and lied to me to feel the same pain I am feeling

right now. Even if it meant hurting innocent people, or demons.

"Why am I hated so!" I screamed as a I glowed a dark black color. "Probably the worst

mistake that I ever made was being born. I should have never entered this world." I stated with

anger dripping off each word. "I was hated ever since birth, I know I was adopted. My surrogate

mother hated me, if isn't for my father, I wouldn't even be here. He was the only one who cared

and loved me."

"After his death, I have been treated as a servant, working from sunrise to later after

sunset. I never complained. When I finally thought I had found happiness, the one I love turned

on me mercilessly. He sided with Bella. I know Bella is beautiful, and I could never match her,

but did he have to break my heart and scar my face?"

I screamed out all my frustration as I pounded my hand three feet into the ground,

drawing lots of blood, I didn't care. I didn't even notice I had punded my fist three feet into the

ground. I wanted to spend the whole night in the forest, who would care anyway. Just as I was

going to drift of to sleep, I remembered Rin. "Rin! I can't leave Rin by herself. Sesshoumaru

might hurt her."

I couldn't move, due to blood lose and exhaustion, so I just laid on the forest ground and

watched the water.

"I can help you overcome your pain." stated a voice.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

~Rin's POV~



I cried as I ran in search of Kagome-nee-chan. "Sesshoumaru-sama doesn't like Rin and

Kagome-nee-chan anymore." I cried as I ran into Sango.

"What's wrong, Rin?" asked Sango.

"Sesshoumaru hurt Kagome-nee-chan." I cried, leaving out the sama after Sesshoumaru.

He didn't deserve to be respected. "Kagome-nee-chan ran away, and Rin can't find her. Rin is

worried!"

Sango patted my head and left a note saying she needed to go somewhere. Sango grabbed

my hand and we went in search of Kagome.

~Sesshoumaru's POV~



I hope they find Kagome soon. I can't believe she isn't back yet! It's almost dinner time. I

know I hurt her, but she has to come back, she has nowhere else to go. I wanted to dash off and

search for Kagome myself, but stopped, when I saw Bella and father walking toward me.

Kagome, please be alright. I turned and faced Bella and my father. "Let's go have dinner.

Sango will not be joining us. She said she had something to do." My father nodded his head, and

we went in for dinner. My mind kept wandering back to Kagome, and where she was.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

~Three days later~



I raced out of my chambers when I heard Sango had arrived back. When I arrived at the

gate, everyone was there. I watched as Sango walk in with a solemn expression, followed by Rin.

Where's Kagome? No, she has to be here somewhere.

"Sango! Welcome back!" greeted Miroku. Sango nodded her head in acknowledgment

and was going to return to her chambers when Rin suddenly brought everyone's attention back.

"Kagome-nee-chan!" cried Rin as she launched herself into Kagome's embrace. I felt

relief wash over. Sango ran up to Kagome and hugged her. Miroku smiled and hugged Kagome,

as his hands traveled south. I wanted to growl, and kill him, but I restrained myself.



~Kagome's POV~



I grabbed Miroku's hand and smiled sweetly as if nothing happened. I watched as Bella

stomped up to me, and demand, "Where have you been?"

"Sorry Mistress, I got lost in the forest." I stated emotionlessly as I bowed and left. Before

I could though, Rin asked a question.

"Kagome-nee-chan, how's your wound." I touched my bandaged face and smiled a forced

smile. Then I left for the servant's chambers, followed by Rin.

"Stop!" screamed Bella. "I want my room cleaned, and everything polished." I nodded my

head and left.



~Sesshoumaru's POV~





What happened? Kagome seems to have changed. I listened as Rin asked how was

Kagome's wound. I flinched, remembering that I was the one who inflicted it. I know it was

deep, and that it would scar.

I couldn't believe my ears as Kagome obediently did as Bella commanded. Kagome.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

please read and review! What happened to Kagome? Who was the person she met? Are things

really as they appear to be?
