Sesshou-maru and Kagome chapter 9: Words of True love
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She watched him leave. She rose from the bed and went over to the window. ' Inuyasha...Stay away...I can't be with you anymore...I love Sesshou-maru now.' She turned away from the window.
A tear ran down her cheek. All those times she was there for him...and yet...all he wanted was to be near Kikyo or to hold the shikon shards. No, she gave him her everything. All she had her world, she gave up school, her family, friends, and Hojo who countlessly awaited for her to get better only to be let down when she never showed up for their dates and he always came back asking again and again. She sighed, she had made the right decision when Inuyasha comes she will tell him she loves Sesshou-maru, not him. That she wants him to go back to Kikyo and to go. Maybe she could learn to love Sesshou-maru in time. It's possible right? She asked her self over and over.
As noon came she went outside to take a walk, clear her head. Those words Inuyasha said, the way he looked at her, the way he moved, breathed. Everything it set the tone just right. She looked up at the sky. Why couldn't things be easier on her? She...after all was a priestess. Things couldn't be easy. She sighed and sat on a near by rock next to a little stream. "Why!" she burried her face in her hands "why does it have to be so hard!" she tried not to cry but it was really hard.
Inuyasha stared down at Tessaiga, trying to think of his lost memories. 'Tessaiga ... please return my memories...' he thought, gripping the Katana, which drew some of his blood; He had had taken the sword out, to examen it more carefully. 'Who is this woman, who keeps invading my dreams ... the one who I had once loved....ugh. DAMMIT! // Sesshou-maru sat down at his desk, filling out paperwork for his lands. 'It appears that Kagome is out in my gardens. She is most likely pondering. However, this Sesshou- maru has no time to settle her thoughts.' Sesshou-maru finished signing his signature on one of the many papers, yes, he was very unsure of his feelings. For he promised himself, that he would not fall in love with a lowly human ... and not make the same mistake as his father.
Rin walked into the room ' Sesshou-maru-sama! (Too many hyphens! @_@ orooo!) " She looked at him kinda sadly. She liked when Kagome was around and hopped she would stay for a long time. " Why is Kagome-chan sad?"
"Rin," Stated the demon lord, taking a short glance to the small child. "I am not quite sure what the cause of her sadness is. I will be done shortly. Until then, I ask you to check on Kagome. Do you understand, Rin?"
Rin looked at him kinda confused " Do you want me to bring her to you? You can make her happy! You make everyone happy! " She smiled and looked at him
Sesshou-maru looked down to the girl again and sighed. "I will check upon her Rin. I would suggest you to play with Jaken. Can you do that?" he asked, giving the small child a soft eyes.
She smiled " it'll be fun!" she ran off to play.
Kagome was still sitting the garden She wiped her tears away. " I shouldn't be crying! It's only Inuyasha, and he loves Kikyo anyway! So If I were to stay with Sesshou-maru he'd never notice!" she sighed. It wouldn't work.... She knew it. Inuyasha would come to get her and they would fight she would get pissed and go home.
He peered down at Tessaiga again, and it began to pulse. "What. Tessaiga?" he asked the sword, and he put a hand over his head in agony. "Ugh! What the fuck is happening to me?"
Sesshou-maru stood up to walk outside. 'Honestly. This Sesshou-maru is curious to why she is upset....' Sesshou-maru slid open the shoji door that led to the outside, the scent of salt and water coming to his nose. 'She is crying.... Pathetic.' his own pride wouldn't allow him to unmask those feelings yet-- he had himself convinced she was only an acquaintance.
She looked down; her lap had tear prints on it. " Now I'm all wet and my eyes are probably puffy and red" she sniffled. She had to clean her self up before she was seen by anyone...but she still couldn't stop crying
"Kagome." Said the youkai, standing behind her. "What is provokeing your tears? Is it that you wish to leave?" he asked softly. Inuyasha's eyes began to blink from amber, to navy blue. Tessaiga wanted him to remember something, and that something; would return. His youkai self would decide this, and hopefully help him back to his memories.
She jumped " Sesshou-maru! No..... I don't want to leave.... It's just....... I-i... " She stopped. 'He'll never love me back! So it doesn't matter' she sighed. " I like being here with you and Rin. I enjoy it very much"
He didn't respond to her at first, his image hiding behind a stotic mask. "I see. Well, you will have to earn your keep, if you wish to stay here. This Sesshou-maru has something to ask of you."
" Alright" she looked up at him ' I wish i could see his expressions' she really wanted to see him look at her with caring eyes to show her she didn't need to be afraid
"I ask of you to sing for me, and to entertain Rin. Can you do that?" Sesshou-maru's eyes stood cold and emotionless, his one arm hung loosely at his side; 'Once again, this woman succeeds in surprising me. She does not wish to return to her mate...'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha looked down at his claws, becoming infuriated. "Damn this! How can I not remember her! However..." he discontinued, a more focused expression clouding his mind. "I have motive... to kill a miko. An undead miko... she has almost killed the woman... that unknown wench." Inuyasha stood up, clenching his claws, but his eyes blinked back to normal. It was clear, Tessaiga would not yet turn him into a youkai. It only helped the least of his memories to flow back--slowly. Inuyasha lept off into the night, to seek answers-- and to do as he promised himself. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" I can. Only if you want me to. Rin is no problem. I think of her as a little sister. I'll take care of Rin for as long as you like." she smiled and looked up at him. " Sesshou-maru? " ' Maybe she could ask him if he could show emotion around her...not everyone...but her'
"What is it?" he asked emotionlessly, glancing up at a tree, then back to her. He flicked a strand of his hair to the side, a quite random expression he allowed.
" Can you show me some of your emotions?" she looked at him. " I feel like you're distant. And If I am to be here.... I would at last like to know I'm welcome"
"Emotions. Such as what, exactly? This lord has none to show, at least, not to a human." he looked back to her.
" alright" she stood up wiping her eyes. " Shall I play with Rin now?"
: "Do as you wish." The lord replied, turning to the side to walk away.
She looked at him " Sesshou-maru?" she didn't want to bother him but she couldn't help it.
He stopped to looked at her, as he had stopped, his fluffy boa swayed; and he paused, awaiting her request.
" I just wanted you to know.... I plan to stay even if Inuyasha comes to get me" she turned and started to walk inside
"Stop," he commanded as his eyes followed her movements.
She stopped just as he said turnning to look at him." hm?"
"Come here. I wish to see something."
" Yes" she walked towards him till she was close enough for him to reach out if he wished
He parted her hair to the side, and ran his claws gently over her neck. "He. Inuyasha has marked you." His claws remained over her neck. "He asked you to be his mate, did he not?"
" Yes he did...but. Nothing has happen" she looked at him..." why?"
"That means, he wants you as his. If he comes for you, you have no choice. Then again, I will not allow him." he spoke, drawing his hand away.
" Why...not?" she looked him in the eyes' as if he would want me around' she sighed.
He did not answer, except looked her over for a short time. "I will use you to get Tessaiga. And as well, keep you here. I keep you here, because I have use for you."
" Yes Sesshou-maru" she closed her eyes turning around trying not to cry. She headed back for the castle
"Be well. You will be staying here for the rest of your days," he walked back to the way he came; He had a plan to get the Tessaiga; his reason for keeping her there was unknown even to him
She sighed. " Hey Rin-chan!" she called to her. " KAGOME!" Rin ran at her leaping into her arms. " HI Rin!"
Sesshou-maru walked back into his office, pretending he questioned his own morals. She was just a human. And that was all there was to it at least that was his thoughts.
The two of them played for hours. Kagome put Rin to bed when she got tired and went to Sesshou-maru's study.
Sesshou-maru had just finished stacking his paper work. He was finished for the time being, and until tomorrow, he would recieve more. "That is done. My work is finished tonight." he slid off his boa, and laid it across the chair in which he sat.
Kagome knocked on the door. She didn't want to enter unless she was aloud.
"Come in, Kagome." Sesshou-maru could tell it was she, because of her scent.
Her eyes widened. 'How did he know? Oh right...my scent' she entered. Closing the door behind him
He looked at her with slight questioning eyes. "Is there something that you want?"
"No. I just wanted to be around you" she looked back at him. ' Did I just see emotion?' she thought.
"I see." He placed his pen on his desk and stood up. "You are welcome to pick out a book, if you desire." he walked pass her and looked out the window.
She looked at all the books. So many to read. Since she wasn't going anywhere for a while she could try to read them all. She picked out one she thought would be interesting. Opening it she started to read
"I see you have picked out, The konji studies. If you intend to read it, it is a Mystery Genre" he glanced down at the book in her hands.
She looked at him " you read a lot Sesshou-maru?" she continued to look though the book
"Hai. I've read each of these books that occupied this room." his eyes moved from the book. "I will be leaving this room. Do as you like in here."
" Okay" she sat down starting to read. Once she started, she found that she couldn't stop
Sesshou-maru walked out of the room, and closed it behind him. 'So. She does not wish to leave. And again, she astounds me...' he thought, walking in the direction on his training room. She continued to read the books. They were very exciting. She read most of the 2nd one before heading off to her room to sleep. Sesshou-maru was just doing brief practice, instead of using his sword, he practiced with a spear; Carefully cutting through the air with precise movements. Kagome yawned...walking into her room. She lay down in the bed. Rubbing her eyes she pulled the covers over her and fell asleep. Sesshou-maru placed the spear onto the wall to hand, and started to walk out.
In the morning Kagome opened her eyes to a pair of brown eyes like her own. " Good morning Kagome-chan!"
Kagome smiled " good morning Rin"
Sesshou-maru was already up, patrolling the grounds of his castle. Somehow aware that the far miko was awoken by Rin. The two went out to play. Running around up and down. The hid-n-seek game didn't last long when Kagome ran into Sesshou-maru. Sesshou-maru caught her by her shoulders, and glanced down at her form; His eyes simply kept on her. "Be careful where you walk, miko."
" Sorry" she backed away tripping over Rin making her fall over and start crying " oh Rin! Are you okay?" Kagome went to pick her up but she ran to Sesshou-maru
Sesshou-maru caught her again, and sighed. "Well, looks like my warning wasn't heeded," he said in quite... a blank and amused tone. He glanced over Kagome's shoulders to Rin, and released Kagome. He placing an arm around Rin's shoulders and lifted her to her feet. "Rin. Are you hurt?" he asked emotionlessly and absently wiped some of her tears away.
Rin looked up and him wanting a hug she held out her arms for him to hold her. She continued to cry. Having Kagome ...one of her best friends push her down and hurt her.
Sesshou-maru gave her a hug, and after a while he released her. "Kagome did not mean to trip over you Rin...it was a mistake," he released the small human child.
She sniffed..." it was?" he looked up at him her eyes all red and puffy. She looked over at Kagome " it was Rin...I'm sorry" Kagome looked upset as well
"Give Kagome a hug." Sesshou-maru spoke down into Rin's ear. He pulled himself back into his previous position, and glanced at Kagome.
Rin ran over and hugged her. Kagome hugged her back and she smiled. " It's okay Kagome-chan. Rin understands"
Kagome smiled " lets keep playing!" the two of the went to continue their games
Sesshou-maru simply shook his head and smiled, but quickly it was diminished; He went out into the forest, for a short walk. He didn't have much time to enjoy the nature around him, because of all of his work, and what he had to deal with.
The two played all day long. Up and down around and over. As they were running she stopped when she saw Inuyasha sitting down under a tree
Inuyasha looked at her, his eyes flashing... "Kagome..." he said under his breath. During the night, he dreamt about their adventures; and the events that recently happened. He stood up starring at her. He said her name again; that same night, he had done in Kikyou... he had to. She looked at him and stepped back. Running after Rin again. She couldn't see him...she just couldn't. He frowned and walked over to her, but stopped in his tracks. "I killed... Kikyou. Will you... be with me again, Kagome?"
Kagome stopped " Inuyasha" she turned to look at him " I'll always be by your side...in your heart I will"
Inuyasha sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Kagome... I lost my memory... I regained it... but... why don't you want to be with me?"
She pushed it away " because...I love Sesshou-maru... not you. " she started to cry. " You never cared for me... and now you pop out of no where saying you do!" she backed away. " Good bye Inuyasha"
"Not care about you!" he shot. "I've always risked my life for you! I killed Kikyou. For you! How could you think I don't? I would do anything for you!" his hands balled into fists. "Fine. Go ahead; go with my brother if it suits you. But no matter what you say, I will always be for you." he turned his back, and his voice fell. "Farewell, Kagome."
She pulled him to look at her " Inuyasha...think of everything you put me though in the beginning...how much you made me hurt all over, made me cry, made me jealous over Kikyo!" she started to cry again." I-i" she stopped and just cried
He hugged her and frowned. "I understand... But, back then, I couldn't choose...but last night... Tessaiga gave me the answer." he smoothed her hair down. "If you want to be with my brother...go ahead... I'm not stopping you...." he ended his sentence solemnly.
" Inuyasha... please...don't be mad.... I loved you for so long...but... you didn't return my feelings. " She embraced him and continued to cry
Inuyasha nodded, and for the third time in his life... He cried... the first was when Kagome first died... the second was when he found her again... the third was now. "I... see...I-I'm not mad Kagome." 'Dammit! I'm crying!'
She looked up at him " Inuyasha... you're crying...Oh no...please don't cry" she wiped his tears away. " I made you sad.... I made you cry" she was still crying herself. It was hard to talk.

" Inuyasha... please...don't be mad.... I loved you for so long...but... you didn't return my feelings. " She embraced him and continued to cry
Inuyasha nodded, and for the third time in his life... He cried... the first was when Kagome first died... the second was when he found her again... the third was now. "I... see...I-I'm not mad Kagome." 'Dammit! I'm crying!'
She looked up at him " Inuyasha... you're crying...Oh no...please don't cry" she wiped his tears away. " I made you sad.... I made you cry" she was still crying herself. It was hard to talk.
