Disclaimer- I do NOT own Inuyasha
A/n- Wowza!! So many reviews!! How can I not try to get this chapter as fast as possible to ya guys!! Lol. Thanks for liking the chapter and I will be giving Kagome a solid role in this fic. Sooo....Kikyou is denying the fact she may fancy Sesshomaru who is already settled with his feelings...or so you think... Kagome wants Sesshomaru because he was the only male that didn't show he wanted her blah blah blah. So lets give Kagome a chance with him shall we!! Lets go!!!
The noise of pounding was heard as she shot up from her cot, the cottage was swaying from the weight being pressured against the wall. She rose quickly and flung the woven door open. She met a frightened gaze as the figure held a torch up in the air. Kikyou instantly recognized him from the village as she asked what he wished.
"Please, my son, the children, they have fallen ill. Please help us Lady Kikyou." He said rapidly as sweat began to gently drip from his face. Kikyou nodded as she quickly threw on a black cloak and gathered a few supplies in a hurry as she raced out the door. She glanced at the man who was making his way to a horse as she walked behind him.
Kikyou stared at the mans transportation as there stood a wobbling horse in which you could clearly mark out it's ribs in the darkness. The gray horse let out a gallop as it slammed its hooves against the ground. She couldn't help but realize the horse was also sick and looked wounded. She stared as the man beckoned her onward onto the horse. Surely he didn't ride this horse all the way from the village?
"Come, we will take the carriage." Kikyou said as she began to speed walk towards the waiting carriage in front of the palace, the villager cocked an eyebrow. Kikyou quickly beckoned him in as he hesitated, but knowing he had little time he quickly went in.
As Kikyou entered the silk carriage she called out the destined location as the driver quickly locked the horse in place as they were quickly pulled away. She could feel the stare of the villager as she met his gaze. He put his head down in honor.
"Thank you Kikyou-sama. I am in your debt." She stared at him. He wore a filthy kimono as his skin was red and revealed scabs from over working.
"Do not thank me, it seems that I have not done enough." She said as the man looked up at her in surprise. Surely he heard stories of her being cold and cruel, this certainly wasn't the same person he heard the stories of. He was about to ask if she had heard the stories, but she held a look of sadness over her face as he turned away.
Kikyou watched the passing scenery as she held her bag closer to her, who knew how badly these children were ill. And him coming all the way here meant that the guards were not listening to the orders and they hadn't report any illnesses at all. If any death had occurred then Kikyou would take it upon her self to show the guards.
The sun was over his head as he gracefully walked out of the stone door and towards the small cottage that held the raven beauty. He couldn't sleep last night as she flooded his thoughts; no one had ever done that to him, him who was normally cold and heartless. How is it she could have broken through without even saying a decent 'hello' to him? He pushed the thoughts away as he then wondered why she would still be in the shack. Usually during mid-day she would be found in the meadows where she would be tending to her herbs.
He stood in front of the cottage as he noticed the bow and quiver still next to the woven door. 'How odd' he thought, as he wondered if she could still be resting. He gently knocked on the woven wall that amazed him at how it was still intact. No answer. He pushed the woven cloth to the side as he glanced around the cottage to find no one. He then instantly noticed a few jars were missing as her usual pile of herbs found next to them had disappeared.
Suddenly he felt a presence as he turned around to meet warm brown eyes and a cheery smile.
"Ohayoo Sesshomaru-sama!" she called out as Sesshomaru quickly glanced her over. She wore light pink hakamas and haori as her hair was placed high up in a ponytail. She held no paint or jewelry that she was expected to be in. Oh what Estuko would do if she knew?
"Ohayoo" he said back as she walked over to him.
"Would you like to take a walk with me?" Kagome asked as she smiled up at him. Sesshomaru held no emotions on his face as he thought this through. He slowly nodded as she let out a cheer of happiness. She watched as he already began walking towards the forest in which she quickly caught up with him.
Kagome couldn't help but smile as she walked with the lord that she wished to make her own. How powerful he would be to rule next to her. She instantly smirked as she tried to make a pout and let out a long sigh. He glanced her over as he kept his pace. She stared up at him to see if he noticed when she pouted again, louder this time.
"Is there something you wish to speak of?" He asked as he continued walking through the forest, he could feel demon ki's as if they were in battle.
"It's just, I don't want to rule this land alone." Sesshomaru nodded gently as he jumped on a log, Kagome crawled up it as she dusted herself off as she continued to walk behind him with her arms out to keep balance. She glanced up at him as she noticed he was walking carefully and gracefully as he kept his normal pace onto the thin log. She let out a sigh.
"and why not?" he asked as he jumped down and continued, he heard her give out a squeal of struggle as she let out a loud sigh and continued walking with him.
"Well, everyone wants love. And why not rule with someone that I love?" she asked gazing up at him; Sesshomaru turned his attention to the palace that was ahead of them.
"Ruling has nothing to do with love, love is not an obligation. But if you find it in the process then yes, it would be a wonderful thing." He answered as he instantly thought of his own kingdom which he ruled for, but then of Kikyou as he couldn't help but picture her next to him.
Kagome smiled as she stood in front of him as she smiled brightly but blushed in the slightest.
"I assume you agree with me then." she said as she smiled up at him, she quickly stood on her tiptoes as she kissed him on his pale cheek as his eyes widened slightly. She then walked off towards her castle leaving Sesshomaru behind to watch her.
He had to admit she was beautiful and had charm that could make any male yearn for her touch. But, she was not a challenge. She wasn't the stubborn, rude, strong miko that had captured his heart. How amazing love was to tempt him with the look-a-like of the one girl he wanted. Yes, Kagome was polite, had a sweet smile, and showed emotions, but she could never be Kikyou and Kikyou could never be her. That just wasn't who they were.
Sesshomaru watched after her as he thought of her sweet talk, how kindly she had spoken to him even if she hadn't known him for long. Instantly he knew that Kagome had a strong liking for him, but what of Kikyou? What if he got the wrong message from her and believed that the miko loved him? He wondered as he stared at the cottage once again.
Kagome loved him. He knew that. But what if Kagome was the one for him and instead, he was putting all his attention to the one girl who hadn't yield to his feet? But still, whenever he saw the miko, his heart would warm up instantly and that feeling he received when he held her in his arms felt completely normal, as if she belonged there.
But Kikyou was strong; she wouldn't be the average woman to instantly cling to any male. She wouldn't be the one tending to men's every needs day and night, night and day, that's what Kagome was trained to do.
He let out a sigh as he watched the setting sun. The third day came to a close as his emotions were playing with feelings that may not possibly be there. What was he talking about? Love? Him? How could he ever consider being in love with anyone? His heart was cold, he reminded himself he only used women to get their hearts, use them whenever he wished and that is exactly how he would remain. Why would he want to remain with only one female for their entire life? No...what wasn't him.
He smelt a sweet scent as wind passed over him that tugged at his instincts. He turned his gaze up to the balcony as Kagome stood smiling at him. She wore nagajugan (undergarments) as her raven hair spilled over her shoulders and her deep brown eyes showed want. Her scent was aroused as he stared up at her and locked gazes with her.
Love was not real; love was a game and the game he could play. His eyes turned a mix shade of red as he jumped up into the air, keeping her gaze as he landed gently onto the marble floor. Kagome walked up to him seductively as her hips swung gently from side to side. She placed her hands on his arms as he captured her in a deep kiss as she purred. She pulled him into the bedroom as the silver drapes fell over them covering the guilty action.
She sat next to the last child to be treated. It was a young girl who was shivering as she had bruises and cuts placed all along her body. Short brown hair was tied loosely back as she wore an old kimono that was ripped and torn. Kikyou couldn't help but instantly pity this child that appeared younger then the rest affected. She quickly pulled a brown cotton blanket around her as the parents sat staring at her in worry. Kikyou quickly soaked a cloth in warm water as she wiped the child's face cleaning it.
"Will she be better soon Kikyou-sama?" the father asked as worry was placed on his face. He held onto his wife whose face was stained from crying.
"She will be back to normal by tomorrow morning. I promise that. If she is not, then please, send for me immediately." Kikyou said as she put the remaining herbs in her bag as she placed it around her shoulder, she couldn't help but feel the stares of the villagers.
"You are not what you appear to be Kikyou-sama," the woman said as her glossy blue eyes stared at her as she bowed in the slightest.
"What do you mean?" Kikyou asked in alarm.
"We have heard stories from the castle Lady Kikyou, they say that you wish for us to be banished so you could practice dark magic m'lady." Kikyou cocked an eyebrow in the slightest as she closed her eyes.
"Is that so? And pray tell who has told you this?"
"The lady of the land Lady Kikyou. Ismae-sama has always warned us of what actions you have done. But certainly you couldn't have been the one to cause your father that illness when you have the healing touch." Kikyou rose in an instant.
"My father? She has told you that?"
"Yes Lady Kikyou, she told many in this land." The lady said as she watched the miko's eyes flare up.
"Watch over your daughter, and...thank you." Kikyou said as she walked out, she stared at the carriage as the driver looked to be gone, most likely spending his time with the whores of the village. She quickly placed her hand on the contraction that held the horse to the carriage as it quickly sparked open. She quickly muttered sweet words to the horse that instantly calmed down as she pulled it to a clearing.
The villagers watched, as the dark priestess they heard about didn't appear to be dark at all, but a healer. How the stories that filled their ears were false. The miko quickly jumped onto the horse as she quickly rode off. They looked at one another in confusion. What would she do?
Kikyou rode quickly as the forest was but a blur, her eyes were flaring as she thought of what the villagers have said.
Her mother had spoken so ill of her, has she really told the villagers she practices dark magic? And caused her father to be ill! What was she trying to do? Kikyou was new to being the main miko and yes that was her first time helping the villagers without help. But maybe, maybe if her mother hadn't spoken so dirty of her then the villagers would have come earlier and could have prevented such an illness. Kikyou instantly cursed under her breath. Yes, she knew her mother hated her, but why would she want to destroy the village and bring death upon them? Her anger flared.
Darkness had fallen over the land as she saw the castle in the clearing. She was slowing down in the slightest when suddenly a figure appeared from no where, she pulled the rings back as the horse stood on its hind legs that caused Kikyou to slam onto the ground. She let out a slight gasp as she stood up slowly; she stared at the figure that caused such a thing to happen as she noticed it was Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru." She whispered as she watched him walk slowly to her. She could make out his features but his eyes were dark as he continued to walk towards her. Kikyou took a step back. "What are you doing?!" she half called out as he gently grabbed her arms that kept her in place. He brought his head down as he ran his cheek against hers as he breathed in her scent deeply.
Kikyou remained still, she couldn't move. But if she were able to, would she want to leave? She pulled back as he stared at her, her breath was caught in her throat as she noticed he now has red eyes instead of his golden orbs, Kikyou tried to fling back, but with his gentle touch froze her.
"Sesshomaru, this is not you! Sesshomaru!"
"Quiet woman." He commanded in a whisper as he placed his hand on her burning cheek and pulled her face upward. He smiled when he was about to kiss her when she suddenly slapped him.
"Release me demon!" She screamed when suddenly he shook his head in shock. Her voice broke through as his eyes turned back to a golden orb. He felt his cheek pump gently as he stared down at Kikyou who had a look of fury placed on her face as her brown eyes were flaring dangerously. He could feel her ki circling all around her body as it spiked.
'oh gawd' he thought in worry, had he done anything to her? Had he harmed her?
"Kikyou – I didn't..."
"Never speak to me again! Your nothing but a filthy demon!" she screamed as she pushed him back and walked towards the castle. Sesshomaru watched after her as he tried to remember what had happened. He then instantly cursed himself. He was still in heat after what he and Kagome must have done, but apparently she alone didn't satisfy his taste. He must not have done anything too rash with Kikyou, but still, what did he do to upset her so?
He slowly began to wonder in the forest, that encounter with Kikyou certainly didn't change his views about love. Was love real? Or was it an emotion that many overlooked and thought was love? He sighed as he sat down. What he did with Kagome was a mistake, but when ones emotions toy with them, how are you not supposed to make a mistake? Of course, he could have easily pushed down his instincts, but, he didn't want to.
This is exactly how he was before she entered his life. From that night at the ball he couldn't look at another female with that lusty gaze where they would share an intimate moment. No, he wanted more out of life. He wanted to give his heart to someone who would give theirs in return. Could Kikyou be that one?
He shook his head in confusion. Was he in love? Was he denying being in love? What was he doing? No woman could fill that emptiness in his heart, so why would he pretend to be the way he used to be when obviously, he changed. Either he changed for better or worse, he wouldn't know.
Sesshomaru breathed in the night air deeply. He needed to figure everything out; he needed to be with Kikyou for just one night, without interruptions, to figure out what his heart was saying.
He rose in an instant as he headed back to the castle, he cast a glance towards the cottage where he didn't sense any wax burning, she wasn't there. He pulled back the cotton door as he cast a glance along the cottage and entered to wait for the furious miko.
Kikyou was angered beyond belief! How couldn't she be? Her mother betrayed her and caused the village a terrible illness. And her mother thought she had brought that illness to father?! But that wasn't what her mind was focusing on. She was angered with what had just occurred with Sesshomaru. He wasn't holding her roughly, no, she could have easily escaped but then, why hadn't she? Was she too hypnotized with his touch and her feelings that she didn't even notice his demon instincts were taking over his control? She cursed under her breath as she passed her fathers room.
She stared at the door with the beautiful details and design that decorated it. She put her hand onto the oak door as she traced the raven design. She held in her breath when she slowly walked in. It was complete darkness as she slightly made out the figure lying in bed, his breathing shallow. Kikyou slowly walked over to him trying to make as little noise as possible as she kneeled down next to him. She grabbed his hand as she held it carefully.
"Oh father, why has life thrown me such a treachery outcome? What am I suppose to do? Father, I wish you could hear me, speak to me as if I was Kagome." Kikyou said as she placed her forehead onto his hand as she closed her eyes gently.
"Kikyou..." she heard him say, it was rigid and his voice sounded as if he hadn't had water in days. She raised her head up as she stared at him as he tried to speak again. Heavy coughing filled the room as she squeezed his hand gently.
"Spell...Kikyou...spell...break...break..." he trailed off as she stared at him in mixed confusion. 'Spell? Break what spell?' she thought to herself when suddenly she heard footsteps coming, she quickly hid behind a statue as the door slid open and in walked her mother. Kikyou instantly cursed at her as she kneeled below.
"Hello my dear, how are you this evening?" she said cheerfully as she poured a drink down his throat, Kikyou stared in misbelieve at how she acted. Kikyou then heard gurgling as she held her throat trying to prevent herself from screaming at her mother. Ismae rose with a smirk as she ran her hand through his hair. The sound of clicking from her getas was the signal that she had left.
Kikyou stepped out from her hidden spot as she stared at her father who once again was asleep. She closed her eyes as she quietly stepped out of the room; she looked both ways as she quietly began walking down the hall towards her cottage.
Ismae peeked her head from the end of the hallway as she watched her daughters retreating figure in disgust. Had her husband said anything? Had Kikyou figured anything out? She cursed under her breath as she went into her own room, separate from her husbands.
Torches lit her way from the castle to her own cottage as she followed the dirt path in wonder of what her father had spoken. "Break the spell...what spell?" she sighed in defeat. Who would be so cruel as to place such a horrible curse on her father, the Lord of the land? He was dieing - everyone knew that. That is why he had given away his crown so early. She tried to remember of the dark priestesses Aikiri had spoken ill of. But who was the most powerful one to have done this?
She entered her cottage as she set her bag down on her table, she paid no hither to the candle that was already lit as she began searching through the packets of scrolls that lay at the bottom of the chest. Suddenly a deep voice cut through the noise of rustling paper.
"Kikyou – I must speak with you." He said as Kikyou shot around, her eyes widened in the slightest as Sesshomaru took a step forward from the corner he stood in.
"Did I not say to never speak to me again?" Kikyou coldly stated as she glared at him, her fists to her sides as she met his surprised gaze.
"I wish to know Kikyou – do you have feelings for this demon?" Kikyou flinched at his soft words; sadness was placed in his eyes as his face remained still. Why would he refer to himself as a demon? She kept his gaze as she remembered her calling him that rudely. She took a step forward.
"Sesshomaru -" He held up a hand that silenced her quickly.
"No, answer me."
"If you would let me speak I would answer your question." She said as he clenched his teeth, he nodded in the slightest listening for her words. "I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel a warmness to you, if I said that I've felt this way with other men. But the fact is, I have known you for only three days...three days, but for years you have appeared in my dreams. I am confused with what my emotions are trying to tell me and my heart doesn't allow such things in a short amount of time – or at least I wish it hadn't. To answer your question, yes, I do have feelings for you, but that frightens me as well."
"You shouldn't be frightened." Sesshomaru said as he watched her cry out for help, for support. He tried to comfort her with words, but truth be told, he was frightened as well.
"How can I not be frightened when my heart beats so rapidly and I linger for your touch? I enjoyed being placed in your embrace as you held me, but I am a miko! Mikos were not made for love and I am a strong one. I have showed no emotion until you arrived, why is it you bring out the weaker part of I? Why must you invade my life and make such a dent I am not able to ignore it! Hai, Sesshomaru. I have feelings for you. Feelings I wished I never had. But how can I ignore it when it calls out to you?" She half screamed and cried. Sesshomaru watched her as she poured out her soul as she was slowly breaking.
"The weaker part of you Kikyou? Love is not weak and that is what you are showing. Love is what you were made for, not being a miko that doesn't wish for love because this is what you were born for! To be held, to be touched, to be loved. Understand this Kikyou – life has another turn for you." Kikyou watched him as the words stung her. She closed her eyes as she remembered what Aikiri always said to her 'love is in your path' his words were so soft yet firm as his eyes screamed for love.
"You speak as if you are in love Sesshomaru." She whispered as she heard a faint laugh.
"Hai, I am." He answered as he walked closer to her as she gazed up at him. "Are you?" he asked. She smiled in the slightest as she locked gazes with him.
"Hai." She whispered as she felt his arms embrace her once again. She dug her head into his chest as she wrapped her arms around him. This is all she wanted, this is all she cared about at this moment. The demon in her arms.
Her eyes drifted open slowly as she turned to her side to face the door when she suddenly saw white in front of her face. She let out a slight scream as she shot up, her eyes flared as she stared at the demon that sat on the wooden stool, staring at her.
"Pray tell what you are doing!" Kikyou said as she sat fully up watching him, he smirked; he had done that for the past two mornings since they had shared their feelings. It was as if he wanted to make sure this wasn't a dream.
"You are very amusing when you sleep." Sesshomaru answered as he still watched. Kikyou sighed as she remembered what had happened last night. Both revealed their secret past and had gotten a better understanding of each other, just like they had done the night before, only then they revealed their love for once another. They shared many similar stories and outcomes for life, and each was sure of what they wanted and neither thought they needed love. Oh how fate tricked them.
They had talked well past the rise of the sun when she had finally sent him off so she could sleep. He was a little disappointed at the fact that they had known one another for 5 days and yet, there were no kiss between them, even though the love they shared was a treasure. But a kiss so soon is not what a miko does.
"I suppose I am, I have never seen myself asleep. Is it that late?" she asked as she rose and straightened out her kimono. Sesshomaru nodded.
"Late in the day." Kikyou sighed as she glanced around her herb jars to find half empty. She quickly put those jars in a basket as she placed it on top of her head and began walking out as Sesshomaru followed. Surprising enough, he wore no armor.
"Sesshomaru, what of your land?" Kikyou asked as she put the basket on the ground and sat down herself sorting through the plants. Sesshomaru watched her as he sat as well.
"The West is the opposite of here. We have no fields of herbs in which you can freely pass or peaceful villages that are full of laughter. Everything costs something, be it rupees or a life. Live or die in my land. I hate to say, but I made it that way, but I plan on fixing it soon enough."
"And, what if you choose to marry Kagome and rule here." She said as her voice cracked, she was trying not to sound obvious as he smirked at her.
"I would have my brother rule, but seeing he is only a half-demon, he wouldn't be pure enough. I suppose I could rule both places."
Kikyou listened as she finished placing her herbs in as she pulled the basket up; soon it was lifted away from her as he easily carried it. Kikyou whispered a thank you as she wondered about his brother.
"Does he live in the palace?" Sesshomaru nodded.
"He lives with his wife." Kikyou nodded as she caught up to him, he brushed his hand with hers as she blushed instantly, he smirked in the slightest as they came upon the castle. They hadn't shared much touch between one another in the last two days, but Sesshomaru wished to move slow and treasure every moment together. He breathed in the fresh air deeply as he let it out slowly.
The fifth day, the day he had to choose. Which sister would he marry? He smiled slightly. It wasn't a contest. Kikyou had stolen his heart, and nothing could ever change that. He wished to be hers and hers alone.
It was sundown as Kikyou sat in her cottage reading through the scrolls about the dark priestesses that could have cursed her father. Sesshomaru told her of one that had slain half of the villages; Tsubaki. That name rung a bell as she tried to remember who she was. What was it she was famous for?
Kikyou let out a sigh of frustration when suddenly a servant barged into the cottage, her face was white as her eyes were dark and water streamed from her eyes.
"Lady Kikyou! Your father! Quick!" She called out as Kikyou rose in an instant. She quickly past the servant as she ran to her father's room, her zori sandals slamming against the marble ground as she quickly entered the room. There stood Kagome, she was crying as she was lying on the ground. Kikyou stared at her father who lay motionless on the bed. Kikyou breathed in deeply as it stung.
'Father' she thought when suddenly the door slammed behind her, Kikyou flung around to see her mother as she raised her hand up and slapped Kikyou as hard as she could. She fell to the ground as she stared at her mother with a crazed look on her face.
"You witch! You did this didn't you – you wench!" Ismae screamed as she grabbed Kikyou again and struck her. She was silent as she glared at her mother. "If you do not leave from this land now I will behead you myself you filthy chickushou!" Ismae screamed, as her face was bright red, Kikyou side glanced her sister who glared at her in disgust. She nodded her head in complete shock as she rose.
"Oh by the way sister, he's mine. He announced it just this evening as our father blessed it. But you already knew about that didn't you when you killed him!" Kagome screamed as she glared at Kikyou who in more ways then one was broken. Her eyes flooded with tears as she barged out of the room.
The maids and servants glared at her as they cursed out loud to the murderer. She couldn't say anything as her throat was tight and she was using all her strength to keep the tears from streaming. Emotions...how disgusted she was with them at this moment. She rushed outside when she noticed her cottage on fire, her eyes widened in shock as she quickly entered it and grabbed one final scroll and a cloak.
She rushed out as the servants had followed her, she swung her quiver and bow around her as she quickly grabbed the nearest horse and quickly rode off to somewhere they didn't know her. She had to get away, she had to go far away from this.
Rain pounded on the ground as it stung her skin, the horse was slowly sinking with each gallop as it jumped over a puddle in the forest. Kikyou pushed her legs together to make the horse ride faster as it jumped over another puddle, this time the horse slipped as Kikyou was flung off and the horse, out of fear, kept riding as Kikyou laid there in the mud, she didn't want to move, she didn't want to live. Everything she thought she had came crashing down as her heart was broken, her mind breaking as she remembered the harsh words.
Emotions
Emotions caused this, she didn't want them but Sesshomaru revealed them. For so many years she had them locked away so no one would ever find them. No one would find out how weak she was. But then he had entered her life.
Sesshomaru.
He had chosen Kagome. Kagome? He had said he loved her, he said that he wanted to hold her, touch her, be with her. Was that all a lie? Did Kagome give him something she didn't? Love was not what a miko was made for. Kikyou told him that. But once again, this was a game. She knew it all along. It was just a game for him, to see if he could get the untouchable miko to fall for him, be in his collection. And she had trusted him.
The rain flooded in her open mouth, she wanted to die, what was the point to living? She didn't know if that was rain, or her tears, that streamed down her face. How could so many things happen in such a short amount of time? Why had she allowed herself to end up like this? It was her fault, hers and hers alone. She had let him in, she had let him reveal her emotions in which in the end, had destroyed her.
All she wanted to do now was die, but the light that came near her wouldn't allow that as strong arms picked her up, she heard murmurs as she instantly passed out.
