chapter 9: Sesshumaru!
last time:
"i want to know, sesshumaru. no excuses." she demanded respect. oh, if she only knew how much he already had
for her even before she
demanded it. he smiled and leaned down. kagome's eyes widenned as sesshumaru's lips captured hers and she gasped.
sesshumaru took
the chance and deepened the kiss. kagome moaned and started to kiss him back as her eyes fluttered close but opened
quickly once again
as she heard Yaman's cries for them. sesshumaru quickly pulled away and looked at Yaman's direction. kagome stayed
looking down in embarassement.
Yaman panted as she held onto both the window's screens for support. "se--sesshumaru-sama! urgent news! it's about
Lady KAGOME!"
----@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"what is it?" he said in a 'tell me now! i'm in panic mode but i'm trying to hide it' tone.
even kagome was shook into panic mode. and she looked at Yaman with worried eyes.
"i-it's better to show you, my lord!" she said.
"alright." he nodded and jumped off the boulder and landed a few feet away from the shoji screens.
"okay, wait for me!" kagome called back.
sesshumaru saw from the look of hesitation in Yaman's eyes that what she was about to tell him was not for kagome's ears.
"no. kagome stay here." and he took off to follow Yaman leaving kagome on that big boulder...alone...in the dark...
"OH,YEAH! LEAVE ME HERE! YUP! DON'T MIND ME-E!" she screemed sarcastically hoping he heard and got her
point. to her dissapointment, no one came... no one but...
"OIY! What're ya' doin' up there?" inu-yasha asked her from the spot where Yaman was once standing on.
"ah! inu-yasha-san! um.. can you help me down?"
"how'd you get up there anyway?"
"i'd rather not say." inu-yasha shrugged and ran to the boulder.
"hora! (if you don't know, it means 'here'.) slide down from there." like what he said, she slid down from the round boulder
and he caught her with both arms. "arigatou." she smiled as he set her down. inu-yasha blushed as he turned his back at her
and said, "feh!" kagome only smiled.
"where's sesshumaru?" he said in a small voice. kagome heard... hardly...
"um... he's with Yaman discussing something he didn't want me to know about."
"what?! is it about the shikon no tama?!" he asked putting all his anticipation on kagome's answer.
"shikon no tama? what's that?" she asked, misunderstanding written all over her face.
"oh, well... here!" he said taking the shikon out of his sleeves. well... only half of it.
"why is it half?"
"kagome... it's... we've been looking for the peices all over for a long time now... but i guess... you don't remember." sadness
was evident in his voice. kagome felt pity and guilt. just look at his face! it was enough to make her wanna say sorry!
"well... can i touch it?" she decided to change the subject.
"oh, sure" he said rolling the shikon out of his palm and into hers. at the contact of the shikon and her fingers, kagome gasped!
------@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"what is it, Yaman?" he asked as they entered kagome's simple yet elegantly decorated room. it even smelled like her.
"sesshumaru-sama...." she said picking up the scroll from before and handing it to him.
" it is written by your mother, my lord. about your future..." he read the scroll... his eyes widened.
it said
"as i touched my baby, sesshumaru, i saw his future. he would mate a human. just like what i saw about his father. but one
thing is different... he must kill her... the lord of the west, MUST kill his mate. this onna has a pure spirit. meaning it is easy
to break or corrupt. if ever she would be
tainted by the evil hands of a devil, there would be no hope for the living and everything will be destroyed. even if my son
tries to protect her, nothing will prevent the devil from comming and taking her... to break her soul into a million peices.
just like the jewel they are searching for. she must be killed before the jewel is completed and she is tainted by the devil.
or else..."
as he finished reading silence covered the room in a deadly manner...
"sesshumaru-sama... what will you do?"
"no... i will not do what it says!" he threw the scroll to the side in disgust.
"but my lord! it is the will of your mother!"
"would you rather see kagome's dead body instead of her smile?!" he said loosing his neutral facade in a fit of anger.
instantly, Yaman dropped onto her knees and bowed before her lord apologetically. "please forgive this pitiful servant!"
he slowly calmed down but his mind was still conflicting. what was he gonna do?! loose the one he loved for the world?
or let the world be destroyed for his love? he looked at Yaman's pleading form. silent. but shouting for forgiveness at the
same time. he turned and walked out of her room intending on seeing kagome. that's right! she cwould calm him. she always
did.
-------@@@@@@@@@@
kagome gasped!
-flashback-
"promise me, inu-yasha." said the woman in the arms of inu-yasha-san. she looked so much like her. but her heart ached.
"i promise! i'll protect you, forever!" said inu-yasha-san. somehow that promise made her mind go blank...
-end of flashback-
"kagome! kagome, what's wrong!" inu-yasha said as he shook kagome gently. he watched as her eyes turned dull and lifeless.
kami! what was happening to her?!
"inu-yasha..." she whispered softly. inu-yasha?! wasn't it 'inu-yasha-san'?!
"why... why couldn't you love me...." she reached up to touch his cheek with a gentle finger.
"kagome?" he asked in confusion.
"why couldn't you love me.... how come you loved kikyou so much more..." inu-yasha's eyes widened! she remembered!
"kagome, listen-"
"no! don't touch me! go away! i hate you!" she said covering her ears as she knelt onto the grassy ground.
"Kagome, no! I LOVE YOU! I DON'T LOVE HER! IT'S YOU I LOVE! YOU!!!" he tried to get it through her head. but
she covered her ears as to not hear him even after he knelt down infront of her. "no! no! it's all a lie! i'm just a shard-
detector!"DAMN IT, KAGOME! I SAID I LOVE YOU! ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?!" he said trying to gently take her
hands off her ears.she needed to hear him. she needed to know!
"no! no! no!n--" before she could finish, inu-yasha had already kissed her passionately on the lips. a tear slid down her
cheeks as she weakly returned the kiss and closed her eyes. she felt so week that she let the shikon no tama roll out of her
palm and onto the grass that was greener than green.
inu-yasha pulled away abruptly and opened his eyes to see her expression.
kagome openned her eyes and blinked 2 times revealing those blue, lively orbs called eyes. "i-inu-yasha-san?" she said
meekly.
suddenly they heard a ferral growl from their left and they looked at that direction to see...
sesshumaru...
