A/N: Howdees again! Well, I get to answer a few more questions! Yay!
Okay, someone was complaining because Sesshy calls Kagome his "wife". I
don't feel very comfortable with the term "mate" so, in my fic, neither
does the "mirror Kagome". They were married, (the pics in the album) and
Sesshy loves Kagome very much, so if she didn't like the term, he wouldn't
use it. Now I know that when He talks to other demons he shouldn't use
such a "human" term, but he was just so use to "wife" that that is the word
that comes into his mind. Kirara is still with Sango because I...felt like
it? I don't know, I just didn't see a reason to split the two.
The Other Side of the Mirror
Chapter 10: The Day
He couldn't breathe; he could barely find the strength to speak. Kagome, I would never hurt you." He knelt before her, "I'm here to protect you."
"Please don't hurt me anymore, I have...I'll do whatever you ask. If you want a slave," she bowed her head, "I will be one. I will do whatever you ask! Please! Please, don't hurt me!"
"Slave?! No, Kagome!" He took her into a huge hug. "I want to protect you. I failed. But I won't make that mistake again! Please, Kagome..."
Kagome just stood, stunned and terrified. Her mind was flashing with all of the vivid memories of what Inu-Yasha had done. Every night, the same...every night...every-she started to cry. Kaede had told her...that was trying to be comprehended also. With everything, she had never thought about her cycle. Had there been enough time to go through one? How long had Inu-Yasha had her? All she saw was a period of eternity that wouldn't stop. Who's was it?
Her husbands'? The one who loved her...protected her...
Or that hanyous'? The one who stole her...beat her...hated her...
***************************I'm trying to figure out my pc**********************
Sesshoumaru was the first to wake. Oh, did Kagome look beautiful. She was so peaceful and relaxed. "Love?" He whispered, running his fingers down her arm. "You need to wake. Today is important."
She stirred slightly, "What's so important?"
He smiled, "I have one thing that will require my full attention, from now until late tonight."
"Oh," Kagome didn't hide the hurt in her voice.
"Would you like to know what it is?" He teased. She nodded. He squeezed her tightly, "You." (AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW! I want to be Kagome right now!)
She turned to look him straight in the eye. "Me?! Only me?!"
He laughed, "Yes, only you. You have my full attention."
"ALL day?!"
"And all night."
She hugged him tightly. It was the first time that she could remember, Damn that Inu-Yasha for stealing and confusing her memories!, that Sesshoumaru had fully dedicated an entire day to her!
"Would you like to do something, or..." He pulled her close, "Just stay like this?"
Kagome giggled, "Either way will be perfect!"
The couple stayed in bed, cuddling for a while, Sesshoumaru would, every once and a while, steal a kiss or lick her ear. When they finally decided that they couldn't spend *all* day in bed, Sesshoumaru told Kagome that he would make her lunch. She was worried about the taste, but Sesshoumaru assured her that she had loved his cooking before.
After the meal, she couldn't argue. He was a wonderful cook!
The entire day there was only one interruption; which had been incredibly short, due to the fearsome growl that Sesshoumaru had used to terrify poor, little Jaken.
The evening, much to the displeasure of the Lady of the Western Lands, had at last arrived. She was saddened that the one day her husband had devoted only to her was quickly passing.
Kagome sat in front of the waterfall mirror brushing her hair, getting ready for a night of sleep. Sesshoumaru stood watching. "You have beautiful hair, Kagome."
Kagome laughed, "So do you!"
He kneeled beside her. "I can't believe I lived so long without you."
"Only about 300 years! Not very long at all!"
"That isn't the time I meant..."
"I don't want to remember what happened, but I'm positive that I missed you, too"
"Don't try to remember. If that is what it takes to keep Inu-Yasha out of your memory, so be it." He let his hand caress her cheek. He looked so sad and guilt ridden; "I love you, Kagome; just know that. Don't let anything convince you otherwise."
"I know you do," she moved into his embrace. "Please, I don't want to think about that. Just tell me you love me..."
Easily done. "I love you." He kissed her. "I can't live without you." He kissed her again. "Every second I spend away from you feels like it's killing me." He let his arms tighten around her, as he kissed her again. "I couldn't hold you in my arms, I couldn't dry your tears, I couldn't stop your pain, or heal your wounds. I wanted do die. Even when I must deal with the lesser lords, you are the only thing I think about." He kissed her more deeply this time. "I need you, Kagome."
"I need you, too, Sesshoumaru."
He growled slightly and picked her up. He walked her over to the bed and laid her down gently. He kept kissing her and started to her armor bodice...then her outer, silken kimono.
God, he hadn't realized how much he'd needed this. He hadn't pushed her to do anything, he didn't know what had happened. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her, especially in a way that Inu-Yasha had. But, oh, GOD!, HE NEEDED HER. The demon in him was starting to take over.
He swung one leg over her, so that he straddled her hips. He leaned down and started trailing kisses down her neck. He let his fingers slide down the collar of her kimono, slowly opening it more and more to reveal more skin for Sesshoumaru to kiss.
He started to remove his own shirts, trying not to take his lips from Kagome. Her scent alone would have driven him insane with passion by now, but he couldn't turn into that Sesshoumaru right now. Demons could be, if he wasn't careful, fatal.
He shifted position so that even though Kagome was under him, she was straddling him.
With his shirts finally gone, he quickly set to work on the sash that tied his pants around his waist. He stopped for a moment, so that he could wrap his arms around her and pull her closer to his kisses. He gently laid her head back on the pillow and went back to the stubborn sash.
He had to be careful. Their first time he was able to only make her wince once or twice, this time, he would not hurt her at all.
*** Kagome was torn. He felt so wonderful. But even thought she told her mind that this was the truth, that, the Inu-Yasha she remembered wasn't right. That tiny spark of doubt flickered in her mind. This wasn't right! But god! It felt so good. NO! She just wasn't ready!
"Sesshoumaru," she whispered in between a gasp and small moan.
He didn't seem to hear her.
"Sesshoumaru," she said a little louder.
"Yes, love?" he asked, making her moan louder as he licked her ear.
'NO!' He mind screamed. The just didn't feel right! But he was her husband...this was fine. This was right!
***
Sesshoumaru felt his wife stiffen. She placed her palms on his chest. He looked down at her beautiful face, it was turned away in shame. He immediately understood; as much as he regretted it, he understood. He kissed her and moved off of her. "Don't worry," he reassured her, "I understand."
She started to cry anyway. "I-I-Oh, Sesshoumaru! I don't understand. I'm...First I loose you child, then I'm not the same, and now I can't even act like your wife!" She cried harder and curled herself into a ball.
He felt his heart stop. "You knew?" He wrapped her in a tight embrace. "Kagome, dry your tears. I will deal with Inu-Yasha *and* Naraku for what they have done. My only concern is to make sure that you are alive and well. Sleep," he leaned close to her ear, "I'm won't leave you."
She snuggled into his warm, open arms and fell into an uneasy sleep.
A/N: Ok...I tried to think as hard as I could, and listened to the advice you peeps gave me. I tried to picture this in my mind like the way a movie or a TV show is. I have seen worse things on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" then what I described in this chapter. If you think that it is too bad to be rated PG-13 tell me. Review please!
