Disclaimer: Don't own it. But man I wish I owned some of those male
characters!!!
Author's Note: Okay, so here is another chapter. This ties up a lot of the loose ends that the previous chapters have left hanging. I am not going to say how many more chapters this story will be, because I found that I while writing that I really need to shape the characters and give them set personalities. So this story will not be never ending, but a nice medium length story with a lot of writing and hidden meaning. I hope that you enjoy it and thank you for reading.

Chapter 3
Seeing Sesshomaru storm out of Kagome's room, she ran to the room to find a trembling girl sitting on in the middle of the big four post bed. Sitting there with her knees drawn up to her chest and arms securely around them, Kagome looked more like a child then the strong courageous woman she had been moments ago.
"You know, he hasn't always been like that." Kagome's tear stained cheeks rose to see Sango coming towards her. Sango sat on the bed next to her, taking on a more motherly role then the friendly role she had played earlier.
"Some one that cruel and heartless could never be any thing but what he is now." Kagome talked in a venoms voice.
"Kagome you are very wrong, a lot of things have made Sesshomaru the way his is now. And how can you say he is heartless when he showed you such compassion in letting you stay here when you were crying out in the garden?"
Kagome's head shot up at Sango's words. She was right, she had seen a different side of Sesshomaru when they were in the garden together, a caring, compassionate Sesshomaru. "Why is he the way he is?"
Sango looked at Kagome, "How about we go for a walk, I will show you around the castle and tell you the story."
A smile graced Kagome's face; Sango was so much like her mother had been. "Sure."
As the two women left the room some one moved out of the shadows. Sesshomaru stood in the hall watching the two of them disappear into the depths of the castle. 'So, Kagome thinks I am heartless, I guess that is not far from the truth. I was a little harsh on her, she did say her mother had died, but she shouldn't have disrespected me the way she did! Oh, Sesshomaru what are you going to do. You are truly thinking about this girl more then you should. She creeps into your mind when ever you let it think. Could she really be the one? Will she really be the one to teach me to love and care for another? I wish I knew. Why do I ponder over such things?!? This is not important; there is a lot I need to get done! Lordly matters to attend too, this girl probably had nothing to do with my fate; I will not let any more of my time slip away thinking of that insignificant wench!"
After brooding in the hall for what seemed like minutes Sesshomaru walked down the hall, 'what you need Sesshomaru is a bath, a long relaxing bath, it always helps you when you are spending too much time thinking.' Making up is mind on what to do he took the stairwell down to his private hot springs.
"When Sesshomaru was very young his mother died. His father traveled a lot and had many mistresses and wives and many children that he left behind. Sesshomaru not having a mother to raise him and a rolling stone of a father never learned how to love. He was a hellion as a child, always pulling pranks on the servants, and other antics of the such. I can tell you this is all true because I was selected out of a few children to be one of his play mates." "Sango if you don't mind me interrupting, how old are you exactly?" Sango stopped and looked Kagome in the eye.
"I guess I should have filled you in on that first." Kagome looked questionably at Sango. "Sesshomaru is not human. He is a demon, his father was a demon and so was his mother. You have heard of demons right, they are a dying race, well true demons at least. He is one of the last few demons left in the world and unfortunately has a curse."
Kagome looked at Sango with wide eyes, "So does that mean you and he are much older then you appear? Are you not human either?"
"No I am not a demon, remember how I was telling you earlier that I was one of the few selected to be his playing mate, well I was the only one to truly follow through on it. There is a spell cast on me, demons are immortal, so I being a human would die before Sesshomaru was even one in demon years. Demons age every 150 years. So Sesshomaru is only 21 in demon years and looks that way, but he is truly 3,150 human years old. So back to why I am still alive, they placed a spell on me that would tap into Sesshomaru's life force. I age when he does, I will be released to life out the rest of my life when he has found a mate. So if he had found a mate when he was 20, I would have gone back to my village and lived out the rest of my life in human years, but this once again leads us back to why Sesshomaru is the way he is. Are you understanding this? I did get a little side tracked."
"Yeah, you are bound to Sesshomaru until he finds a mate, you are both 3,150 years old, his mother died when he was young, and he never got to be around his father, therefore he never learned to truly love." Kagome smiled and patted her self on the back mentally.
"Good, you must be educated. Well, when he was 21, around the time he was supposed to take a mate, there was a demon heiress that wanted him to pick one of her daughters. Sesshomaru stole one of her daughter's hearts, but not knowing love and not being one for commitment, left her at the altar so to speak. The demon was so mad that she put a curse on him; he would not age and live in solitude until some one loved him and he learned to love them back."
"So you aren't 3,150 years old?"
"No more like 5,683 to be exact."
"That is a long time to live with him. How do you do it?"
"Ha, ha, very funny, but do you see why he was so mad when you didn't come to dinner, he has a problem trusting women, not to mention that he is a spoiled brat, but he hasn't aged in a couple thousand years. And earlier today, the way he was so gentle with you, he has never acted that way to any one, he showed you true compassion; you are the one that will break the spell Kagome. Will you do it?"
"I don't know he is so controlling and it scares me, but I have no home any more and I don't know where else I could go." Sango gave Kagome a sad smile and turned to leave. But turned when she heard Kagome's voice, "I'll try, what have I got to loose, right?"
End Note: Okay, well I hope that helps with any questions any one has. Be looking for another update soon. I am really enjoying writing this story and know exactly how it is going to end. I think you are all going to like it. I guess that is it, please review!!
