Dilanda:This slacker has finally gotten off her eternally lazy ass (offense, Yaten, offense) and decided to update. Even I shouted, "Where did you go?!?" But thankfully, she's back, and I have my job, and you guys have your fic. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Me no own Inuyasha and co. Never have, never will!
To Sesshoumaru everything and everyone was an open book. Some easier to read than others, but none were too hard for the lord to read. However, this Kagome was no different, to his amazed chagrin.
"You have yet to explain your reasons of locating your den near this Sesshoumaru's citadel."
The small gleam in his eyes made Kagome VERY nervous.
"I... uh.. well, it just seemed…," she paused, "well, it was safer and… I guess more comforting?" She was more asking herself than Sesshoumaru.
'Why did I choose, of all places, here?'
Sesshoumaru, thoroughly puzzled by her response, threw one last statement at her.
"You will leave in the morning."
"What about-" she was cut short.
"Rin will do without." He began to leave.
Kagome bristled, this arrogant man- no, youkai- was telling her what to do and when exactly to do it!
"You can't just waltz in here and tell me what I can and can't do!"
Sesshoumaru leaned in closer towards her ear and whispered, "Oh, on the contrary, I can." He straightened himself out, a little confused at the out-of-character burst he just had, but coldly continued. "You leave at day break, woman."
Kagome sighed, "I thought we already went through this, MY NAME IS NOT WOMAN, WENCH, GIRL OR ANY OTHER SCORNFUL NAME YOU CAN COME UP WITH, SESSHOUMARU!"
Both Kagome and Sesshoumaru stood up. "MY NAME IS KAGOME! KA-GO-ME! SAY IT WITH ME! KA-GO-" A slap was heard.
Sesshoumaru had left a soon-to-be bruise across Kagome's left cheek, the size of China if they knew what or where that was. She stood in simple shock, then put her left hand to her cheek, a single tear falling down her face.
"You will leave in the morning."
"You're right…," Kagome whispered quietly.
With that said and done, Sesshoumaru left without another word. Kagome looked toward the moon; not much time was left for her departure.
'Perhaps, after all, it would be good to visit my old village again. I wonder if Kaede knows a cure for this… curse? I wonder if I could even talk to her again…' Kagome's thoughts darkened. ' I… wonder if she's still alive…'
Memories sprang up into Kagome's mind. Playing over and over, like a broken record player. Memories of her and Inuyasha. She began to sing:
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone…"
***
'Who possesses that voice?' Sesshoumaru decided to investigate the sound, heading towards the source.
Kagome's senses were lost in thought and song…
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me…"
Sesshoumaru watched the girl sing her sad song, and his heart twisted in some odd pain to see her like this. 'Am I, the great Sesshoumaru, going insane? What is this that I feel? What the hell is this damn emotion?!'
Images of her and Inuyasha as children played in her mind. Inuyasha was holding her hand and she was skipping; in another mind image, she was kissing Inuyasha's booboo. She continued…
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time can not erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me"
Sesshoumaru had to keep this woman…
Yaten: God, I don't know why this chapter was so hard to write. I think I left a cliffy for you all there. Hmm… forgetting something… oh yeah!
Another Disclaimer: I Don't own the song "My Immortal," by Evanescence.
Yaten: Oh yeah, one last thing from me: If I posted yet another fic called "Cannons fire," would anyone read it? Its about Kagome, Sango, Kikyou (ooc), and Kagara (also ooc) who are best friends. They are taken by pirates, and forced to serve them. Couples as follows: SessKag, SangoMiruko, KikyouInu (I know not many people like this, but Kikyou is way ooc, as well as Kagara), and KagaraKouga. I suck at summaries. Anyway, I have 3 chappys done. Leave a note if you think I should post it.
Dilanda:Well, that was a good chappie, I think. What about the rest of you? What'd ya'll think? Worthy of at least 20 reviews? Right? Right? At least, that's what I think. …..hehe…I just had a thought….(run and hide): Yaten is a fanfiction pimp! That's what this place really is! People put their stories up here, and then they come back in with reviews. The author thus gets rich off the ego-boosting reviews! (cool, you're a pimp! I always wanted to be one of those, with the purple hat with the feather in it, the fur coat, and the shoes with live fish swimming in the heels!) Is anyone else seeing the connection here? Or am I just insane?
Review Responses:
ValarSpawn: A guy that changes into a girl every time he touches cold water, that's… different. Sounds cool though. I should read up on Ranma ½. Thanks for Reviewing!
Crystalwish: I know what you mean, Inuyasha is cool, but the couple is too normal, and I hate being normal. Thanks for reviewing!
Puppkid: I agree. I'm obsessed with wolves, my room and desktop is filled with pictures and figures of 'em. Heh, Yeps. Kagome is supposed to be a wolf youkai at this time too, and I don't think I made that very clear before. Thanks for Reviewing!
Sesshomaru's goddess: Huh… *hides darts behind back* I wasn't doing anything ^^; just kidding. Mine always come up longer.
Skurria: Yeps… a lot of people asked about that the 'oddly adorned' and all. Thanks for reviewing.
Katsurinia: I'm sorry, fixed if you read this and later chappys. Thanks for reviewing!
There were A LOT of reviews I'm sorry if I missed yours, I had 26 reviews, god…
