chapter 5: forget
oh, you're gonna hate me for this!
last time:
what the?! what was happening?! what happened to kagome?! why is she kissing him?! what's wrong with her?! he needed
to know. he jumped down the tree he was watching them from and faced them.
"OIY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO KAGOME?!"
"inu-yasha!" kagome gasped
_#_#_#@@@@@@
"inu-yasha! what are you doing here?!" kagome said in surprise as sessumaru put her down.
"what am i doing here?! what am i doing here?! i was lookin' for you all over the damn world and i see you here with HIM?!
she was just about to say, 'sorry for worrying you inu-yasha' but then the memorry came back to her...
that night...
that pain...
the tears....
"inu-yasha. SIT!!!!"
"THUD"
"what do you mean 'HIM'. show him some respect! this is his territory!" sesshumaru felt really important hearing her scold
his little half-brother about respecting him.
"what's wrong with you, woman?! you're acting like your his mate or something!"
"well that's because i AM!" she exclaimed proudly. but sesshumaru was puffing with pride all the more! his beloved would
shout it out to the whole world, if she was told to.
silence covered them like a thick blanket.
inu-yasha's face was filled with hurt. pain. annoyance. and misunderstanding. he couldn't understand. why was she doing
this to him? what did he do to make her so angry as to do this? NO! it's a lie! she was joking! she had to be! what else could
it be? she couldn't have really fallen inlove with HIM! it was a joke. a prank. right?
"kagome.... you're not serious....right?" he said with his voice broken and filled with desperation.
she loosened the top of her kimono and showed her his mark on the part of her neck where the neck was connecting to her
shoulder. inu-yasha saw it clearly. she was dead serious. she wasn't joking. at that time, only one word kept repeating in his
mind...
"why?"
"because i saw you there. with her. i saw your kiss. and it hurt! it hurt, inu-yasha! it hurt me so much that i couldn't bear it!"
"and then what? you went to him?!"
"SIT!"
"thud"
"no, inu-yasha... i found him... and i fell inlove with him...."
silence covered them once again
"inu-yasha..i'm sorry...if i'm hurting you right now..." she said taking 3 steps closer to the poor hanyou.
"kagome... what did he do to you.... what magic did he cast on you to make you fall inlove with him?!" he said taking
advantage of their close proximity and engufing her in a tight, protective embrace. sesshumaru growled and balled his fists.
kagome pushed him away and slapped him aross the face! inu-yasha's head was turned because of the force of the slap.
"he didn't cast any magic on me! i fell inlove with him! is that so hard to believe?!"
"no! kagome, you're mine!"
"get away from her." came sesshumaru's deep, threatening voice...
"no! i won't let you take her away from me!"
"don't you DARE touch my wife!" he said lunging towards him. inu-yasha pushed kagome aside and held onto the tetsusaiga
gettng ready to fight back. kagome spun in the process and was about to fall on the grassy ground until a hand lifted her up.
she looked up and saw that it was Yaman. her servant girl ever since she was mated to sesshumaru.
"Yaman!" she said.
"shhh! Lady Kagome, don't worry, the master has mentally ordered me to take you away from the battle and keep you safe."
Yaman had a strange name. yet it had a beautiful meaning. Yaman meant 'treasure'. and trully, she was a treasure. to her.
and to rin.
kagome let the almost human-like yokai carry her to behind some trees to keep her safe while the brothers were fighting.
they watched from afar as inu-yasha tried to slash his brother. and watched as sesshumaru...
'oh my kami!' she exclaimed in her mind. sesshumaru's eyes...she never saw such eyes full of hate and malice from sesshumaru
before... was it all because inu-yasha claimed that she was his even though she already had a mate? did her beloved really love
her so much as to feel angry because of one meaningless sentence?
inu-yasha was getting fed up. no matter what he tried, his damned half-brother just wouldn't DIE!
'DAMN HIM! DAMN HIM! DAMN HIM FOR ALL ETERNITY FOR TAKING AWAY MY KAGOME!' he roared in his
mind.
"KAZE NO KIZU!" (is that what he says?) and then it came. but because of his rage, the force was so much stronger now.
sesshumaru stepped back because of it. he was strong enough to hold his ground. but kagome and Yaman...
they got blown away. Yaman slammed her back to a tree as blood trickled down her mouth. and kagome
kagome was blown back and her head hit a boulder. Kami! it hurt! she heard a double voiced 'KAGOME!!!!!' call her before
she blacked out completely.
_#_#_#_#_@@@@@@@@@@
she opened her eyes, only to close it again as she was blinded by bright light. her eyes quickly adjusted and she fluttered her
eyes open. where was she?
"kagome!" she looked to the door to see a tall man. he was so beautiful with his silver hair and golden eyes. but his beauty
was marred by the worried look on his face. why was he worried?
" kagome, are you alright now?" he asked as he rushed to her side and held her hand. and then another man came. he looked
so much like the other man. except, his eyes were filled with regret and pain. why?
finally, all these questions in her mind, she had to speak.
"who are you?" the man beside her and the man at the door had their golden eyes wide open.
"do you know who i am?" she asked again.
"do you know where i am?"
"oh, kagome.." the man beside her said in a sad whisper and engulfed her in a tight embrace. his left arm around her waist.
and his right arm around her shoulders. his head rested on the nape of her neck. kagome didn't seem to mind. her mind was
a total blank. she couldn't remember anything. nothing.
then a man came in. now he looked like a monk. handsome he was. the silver-haired man at the door took the monk by the
collar and looked him in the eye.
"Miroku, what happened to her?!" he demanded
"i'm sorry, inu-yasha. sesshumaru-sama. she hit her head and the force stirred her mind. she now has no memory of anyone."
"not even herself?!" he asked again
"yes. not even herself." the monk looked down as the one called inu-yasha lossened his hold on this 'miroku' and fell slowly
to his knees and slumped... he was on the brink of tears. she could see it clearly. the man that was hugging her. the monk
called him 'sesshumaru-sama'. she decided to get comfortable and trust this man who was holding her so affectionately. she
had a secure feeling somehow. so she rested her head on his shoulder and looked at the wall in a blank gaze. her eyes hazy with
confusion.
inu-yasha looked at kagome. and then to sesshumaru. he looked in so much pain. he was shocked! THE sesshumaru was
expressing his pain. but no, no tears came down. he couldn't cry. he wouldn't cry. he was the Lord of the the Western Lands.
he was never allowed to cry. maybe that was why their father didn't cry to neither the death of sesshumaru's or inu-yasha's
mother. he wasn't allowed to cry. he wasn't allowed to show his pain. he wasn't allowed to cry for the one he loved so much
that he would die for.
his face, as beautiful and perfect as it was, was filled with pain and he was only so strong as to stop his tears to fall. his love.
his kagome. she had forgotten. all about everything. all about him...and it was all because of his carelessness...
'i'm so sorry, kagome.... i'm so sorry..." he whispered in his mind.
"i love you...." he whispered. but it was so silent that only inu-yasha heard. only he understood. his pain...
oh, you're gonna hate me for this!
