You Are Mine
Chapter II: Decisions
"What's taking her so long!?" said a very irritated hanyou. "You must be patient Inuyasha-sama." said Miroku. "And then what? While we're waiting for her Naraku is planning on getting the rest of shards!!! So I'm gonna get her back here!!!" Inuyasha then stomps off to retrieve her with fists clenched and teeth showing. He is angry after all.
Meanwhile…
Kagome is splashing water on her face to wash away the tears that stained her cheeks. Remembering Kiyou is not what she planned on doing at the lake anyway.
"Inuyasha, I just wish you would forget about her. She is made up of mud and bones now since that witch tried to take my soul…or is it Kikyou's. Sigh, Kagome you really need to get a life." After talking to herself for a brief moment she stood up and started on her way back then realized a pair of golden eyes staring dead at her and something light and fluffy brushing against her arm. "Wait a minute, Inuyasha isn't this tall and he definitely doesn't have something big and fluffy over his shoulder. Which means..!!"
"Se-Sess-SESSHOUMARU!!!" Kagome screamed almost falling over.
"Be silent girl."
"W-What do you want from me?"
"I believe you want this Kikyou to be permanently diminished."
"Huh? How did you know that!?"
"That matters not. I also have intensions of getting rid of her."
"What did she do to you?"
"That is none of your concern. If you want her dead, then come here when the moon is at its highest."
"Why should I trust you?"
The taiyoukai just smirked and disappeared leaving Kagome completely dumbfounded. Soon after, Inuyasha arrives at her location with a frantic look of concern. "Kagome! Are you ok? I thought I smelled Sesshoumaru around."
"Yes, I'm ok. But I didn't see your brother around." Kagome lied. "Why am I defending him..?" she thought.
"Oh well, must be my imagination. Come on let's go!" Inuyasha said while bending down offering to carry her. Kagome accepted and climbed on his back. From behind a tree, Sesshoumaru gives an evil laugh.
That night...
"Brr…it's kind of chilly tonight." said a shivering Kagome. "I'll get some more wood for the fire then." said Shippou. "Kirara, would you keep Kagome warm for the night." said Sango pushing the little Kirara which suddenly grew to a big wild cat. "Arigato, Sango-chan." Kirara lied down behind Kagome and wrapped her tail around her. A minute later Shippou comes back with the firewood and puts it on the fire. Sango slept in Kagome's sleeping bag and Kagome with Kirara, Miroku and Inuyasha were sleeping sitting down with staff and sword in hand. Shippou was cuddled next to Kirara.
"It's late and I can't sleep a wink." whispered Kagome when gazing at the moon. "If you want her dead, come here when the moon is at its highest." The memory of Sesshoumaru came into mind. Kagome looked at everyone's sleeping faces and watched Inuyasha's chest moving up and down and his face, peaceful and unharmed. "Inuyasha is mine." echoed Kikyou's voice in her head. "I won't let you have him." Saying this Kagome quietly got up and rode on her bike back to the lake. "I hope I'm doing the right thing."
When Kagome got to the lake, she got off her bike and set it aside. "Hmm…Looks like he isn't here yet." She said looking around and seeing the beautiful reflection of the moon in the water that caught her eye. "Oh, that's such a pretty sight, if only Inuyasha was as romantic like Sesshoumaru. His brother has more taste than he does." Said Kagome giggling a bit.
"Obviously, my little brother would only do this with Kikyou." Said a familiar voice from behind her.
"Ah! Don't pop out of nowhere like that!"
"So, have you decided on what you should do?"
"I have a name you know, it's Kagome. Ka-go-me! And no, I haven't really decided."
"Then why have you come? Wasting my time, are you?"
"No! no…I just needed to get away for a while. It's like, every time I just look at Inuyasha then Kikyou just pops in my head you know." Kagome says sadly and turns away to the direction of the lake. "Sometimes I can't take it. Every time we meet Kikyou, Inuyasha is all over. Completely ignoring me." Silver tears start to come down her cheeks and she hugs herself. Hearing this, Sesshoumaru walks in front of Kagome and lifts her chin up and wipes away a tear. "Come with me, if you don't want to suffer from my hanyou brother." Kagome looks at him in shock and unable to talk. She never saw this side of Sesshoumaru before, after all, he is a cold blooded killer. Sesshoumaru steps back. "If you cannot decide now, meet here in 3 days. I will be awaiting your answer." With that said Sesshoumaru disappeared similarly to when they first met.
"Sesshoumaru…"
