A/N: Howdees! Well, I have more questions to answer! YAY! Okay, first ones comes from, XP DarkAngel, when both Kagomes meet, it is very interesting. Lots of fainting and disbelief and ranting over who's real and who isn't. The will NOT both stay with Sesshy. Inu-Yasha needs love too! And no, I don't get bored of reading long reviews! I love them!

Next we have ME.(): Sorry but I have been avoiding your question on purpose. Yes, I do give away lots of spoilers, but the way they react to each other is like a major point in the story, like the climax. And I WILL NOT give away the climax...poor peeps; I'm leaving you in suspense!

Next we have Shadypony: Yes, mirror Kagome did notice that he no longer has the scar, but remember that mirror Inu-Yasha has the Tensaiga. He had been saying that as soon as he learned how to wield the sword correctly he would fix it; to all peeps that don't know, having a missing eye is really bad cause it messes with the way you see distance, you can't extrapolate it correctly. (Heehee, I used a big word) It also makes it so that you can't use your peripheral vision. (That's how you see to the side with out moving your eyes) So as you can see it would be really bad it he was trying to fight. So, that is a long-winded way of saying that Kagome just thinks he figured out how to fix it. (I think about these things way too much, don't I? I seriously need a life)

The Other Side of the Mirror

Chapter 12: The Assassin

Kagome woke to find Sesshoumaru sweating and mumbling something about her. He was still asleep, having a nightmare, it seemed.

"No," he whispered, "Please, don't leave me. You can't die! Kagome, please...don't leave me..." (U_U poor Sesshy...)

She moved closer to him, "Sesshoumaru?" She whispered.

"Inu-Yasha?!..." He whispered very angrily. "How dare you call me brother?! I'll kill you..."

"Sesshoumaru!" She tried to wake him.

A tear slid out from under one of his closed eyes. "I love you, Kagome," he whispered gently. "Don't leave me alone. I-Kagome..."

"Sesshoumaru! Wake up! I'm fine! Please, snap out of it! Sesshoumaru?!"

He started to growl, but not in the pleasant, joking, way that he had the night before. It now sounded as if he was ready to kill. "I'll kill you." He grabbed her by her wrists and flipped so that he was on top of her, pressing her to the bed.

She couldn't move, his strength greatly outmatched hers and her legs were pinned underneath his body. "Sesshoumaru!" She yelled as he squeezed her wrists nearly to their breaking point.

He snapped into the waking world, just in time to stop himself from snapping his wife's wrists like toothpicks. "K-Kagome?"

She instantly relaxed, even though he had pinned her in a very vulnerable position. "Sesshoumaru? You were having a-"

"Are you alright?!" He rushed out.

"Well, yes,, of course. What's wrong?"

"He-I-You're safe. That's all that matters." He noticed the position he was in and blushed slightly. "Well, this is interesting..."

Kagome giggled, "I kinda like it. Shows who the boss is."

He started to growl, playfully, this time. "That it does." He started to kiss her ears and neck, "So, now you can't fight back, human...Aren't you afraid that I will," he let one of his fangs lightly brush against her ear, "take advantage of your weakness?"

Kagome smiled, "Should I?"

Sesshoumaru smiled, "The I can't promise anything."

"Aren't you going to be late? Again?!"

"Let them wait! I'm the Lord of all the Western Lands! I'll send an order for all of them to sleep in."

*** "Sesshoumaru-sama!" Their, now very annoying, daily wake up call screamed. Ever since his wife's return, Sesshoumaru couldn't be on time for anything! That seemed to be the only thing that had gone back to the way it had been since before she was taken.

*** Kagome sighed, very hesitant to share the demon that was doing a very good job of teasing her. "Jaken's going to come in here you know."

"Let him wait," he started to kiss along her jaw until he found his way to her lips.

*** "Lord *Sesshoumaru!*" Jaken burst through the door, "You are twent...ty...min-utes..." His green skin turned beet red at the sight. His lord was holding his lady to the bed, kissing her...so deeply it seemed, that they didn't realize that he was even in the room.

He did the only polite thing he could. He left the room for them to finish in privacy.

*** Sesshoumaru heard the door close and started laughing as hard as he could. "I doubt that he will bother us for a while!"

"You're so mean to him!" She laughed, leaning up for another kiss. But he still held her down to the bed, "Don't be that mean to *me*!"

"I'm just showing who has the power," he joked.

"Oh, really?" (That sounds like a challenge!) She gave the best growl her human vocal cords could offer and pushed against his restraining arms.

Sesshoumaru gave a much better growl, "Do you really think that a human female can overpower me? The Lord of the Western Lands?!" He put a tiny bit of pressure on her wrists.

Kagome stiffened and held back a scream, just enough, so that a pained, quick, squeak escaped.

Sesshoumaru immediately released her, "Kagome?!" He saw the deep red of newly forming bruises appear on her wrists. "I-I'm so sorry...I-" he moved off of her. "I didn't mean-"

Kagome grabbed his wrists and pushed him down. "Now who has the power?!" She laughed.

"You little-" He let her hold him down as he pretended to struggle. "You tricked me!" He growled at her. "How dare you?"

"Don't growl at me!" She kissed him on the nose. "I like it too much!"

"I'll growl whenever I feel like it!" He pulled her down, so she lay on top of him, "*Because* I know you like it." He held her where she was for a long moment. "Promise me that you won't die and leave me alone."

Kagome rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat and breathing. "Your nightmare?"

His growl wasn't playful anymore. It was filled with a deep hatred for someone. "Inu-Yasha. He was hurting you; all over again." He tightened his arms around her, "I could hear your screams, smell your blood. Gods! There was so much blood!" He ran his fingers through her raven hair. "That was what scared me. Blood always mean pain. With so much blood, you must have been in agony. I don't...I can't have this be a vision."

She looked into his eyes, "It couldn't be. I'm here, right now, safe, with you. No pain. No blood. Nothing!"

"I saw-he-" he paused. "The one thing that I feared the most, I watch, every night, over and over again. I can't help you; I can't stop him. You're just staring at me, tears filling your eyes, begging for me to help you, but I can't get to you. I can't do anything. Right in front of me, he...he rapes you, kills you, and brings you back to life with the Tensaiga over and over. Laughing at me the entire time. (For all of those who don't know, the Tensaiga is a sword that cannot hurt people, only heal them and bring them back to life) I am seen as the strongest demon ever to exist, besides my father, if he was unable to protect his mortal wife, how can I?"

"Don't think that way! I know that you will do anything you can to protect me!"

"Yes...I'll do anything for you."

Kagome smiled, "Why are you getting all serious on me?"

"Because I'm paranoid," he answered with a smile. (Is it just me, or is this getting *really* boring? How 'bout we add an explosion to spice things up?! Just a one or two more paragraphs!) His smile suddenly faded as he sniffed the air more closely. He shushed her turned so that his body was blocking the door from her view. "Intruders," his whispered, "I can smell them."

Kagome was about to ask how he didn't know if they were just more servants, when she remembered him saying that he knew the scent of everyone who worked so that they could get within a thousand feet of her. (He really *is* paranoid!) She nodded and curled herself onto his body for comfort. He gladly wrapped an arm around her.

(Yay! The explosion!) The door practically exploded off of its hinges. The couple jumped at the sudden noise. Sesshoumaru hugged his wife tightly, using himself as a shield to block any debris that might stray toward his love.

The first words out of his mouth were, "Kagome, are you alright?!"

He smelled a great amount of fear on her, but other than that, she seemed perfectly fine. "I'm-" she started to cough so harshly that she could no longer speak.

He got a whiff of the poisoned air and immediately grabbed the bed sheets and covered his wife's nose and mouth. He could hold his breath much longer then she could!
A/N: Okay, tell me something. Do you know that you are really pathetic and are seriously a nerd, when you are talking to a friend online and think that a very INTERESTING conversation is about the propulsion systems on alien space ships? ::Sigh:: Also, one of your favorite things to do is see who can stump the other with trivia questions of Star Wars and Star Trek? (By the way, for anyone who wants to know, I'm winning!) Sigh, oh well. I have fun, that's all that matters. As always, sent your questions! I'll answer them! Review please!
