I'd like to thank all of those who reviewed you guys really inspired me to write. You know what sucks though when ever my muse comes to visit there's no computer around. Oh well can't have everything you want. I decided to have Kagome figure out that she has fallen in love with the demon lord but Sesshoumaru is having a tough time figuring out what the strange feelings he's having toward her are.
Previously on Kagome's revenge.
"I'll make a deal with you. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo may stay. The soul collecting pot and the hanyou have to leave." Kagome said "Well you heard Sakura get out pot you to Inuyasha." Sango said "What no way if you stay we stay." Inuyasha said Kagome sighed and unsheathed her sword "Inuyasha I am obligated to protect this village if you do not leave I will not hesitate to kill you." Kagome said.
"What do you mean Kag I mean Lady Sakura?" Miroku asked "I was assigned to protect this village and that's what I'm going to do regardless of who it is." Kagome said. "Fine if it's a fight she wants it's a fight she gets." Inuyasha said unsheathing Tetsusaiga. Before anyone could blink Kagome was gone "Where did she go?" Inuyasha asked. He felt somebody tap his shoulder and turned around. "First lesson of fighting never let your guard down." Kagome said slicing the middle of his shirt before she jumped in the air turned with her head facing the ground and landed behind Inuyasha and sliced the back of his shirt. "Second lesson Know your enemy." Kagome said before thrusting her sword in his side.
"Third lesson never hesitate." Kagome said before pulling her sword out of his side.
"And fourth never let pain take over ignore it and defeat your enemy." Kagome said as she cut his back. "That was only a sample of what I have learned. Now get out before I behead you and your wench." Kagome said. Up above Sesshoumaru watched Kagome fight Inuyasha. He had come to see why she was not at lunch and was told she was down at the village.
'Damn the wench has gotten stronger.' Inuyasha thought "Fine Kikyou and I will leave." Inuyasha said before Kikyou's soul carriers came and picked them both up. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo stared wide eyed at Kagome or rather Sakura. "It's alright come out now." Kagome said within two minuets stores and homes were open and the road was once again live. Kagome mentioned the group to follow her she lead them to a very nice inn. Kagome walked up to a young lady at a counter. "Suzuki these are some of my friends please give them your best accommodations." Kagome said "Yes Lady Sakura it would be an honor." Suzuki said "Thank you." Kagome said
"I must go now I'm late. Follow Suzuki good day." Kagome said walking out of the inn.
Kagome waked along the path to go back to the palace but a group of bandits appeared. "Look boss she thinks she can wield a sword." One man said "Watch out now lass you might hurt yourself." Another said "I am more than capable of wielding a sword. Whereas you couldn't even wield a common knife." Kagome said in her cold voice. The men broke out in laughter.
Before you could blink all but one man were on the ground unconscious. "I told you now face the consequences of your actions." Kagome said before bringing the hilt of her sword down on his head. "Stupid men can't live with them can always live without them." Kagome said before walking along the path back to the palace.
Once Kagome reached the gate something or rather someone plowed into her. "Sakura-okaasan where were you Rin was board Jaken-sama is no fun." Rin said Kagome laughed at this her only true laugh in a while. "Alright Rin I'll play with you come on." Kagome said still not used to the little name Rin called her.
Sesshoumaru watched the girls play in the yard 'Kagome has gotten stronger. Even I have to admit she would be a formidable foe. Today she showed mercy on that mutt I don't know why though.' Sesshoumaru sighed 'I need to patrol my lands soon.' He thought.
Kagome sat and watched Rin play 'I'm going to have to go search for the shards soon. I have gotten stronger in the past two weeks and four days. I'll have to ask Lord Sesshoumaru if I can leave to go shard hunting. I'll ask him the day after tomorrow.' Kagome said to her self. Rin then came up to her "Sakura-okaasan it's time for dinner." She said "Alright Rin lets go." Kagome said.
After dinner Kagome took Rin to take a bath with her. After a bath Kagome tucked Rin in bed. "Sakura-okaasan well you sing Rin to sleep?" Rin asked Kagome nodded and wondered what song to sing. She then made a decision she stroked Rin hair in a motherly way as she sang.
"Watching every motion
In the foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame...
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say, my love
Take my breath away
Take my breath away...
Watching, I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say, my love
Take my breath away
Take my breath away...
Through the hourglass, I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed, I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today, I am unafraid
Take my breath away, oh whoa, yeah
You take my breath away, oh oh
You take my breath
You take my breath
You take my breath away
(take my breath away)
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
You take my breath away...." Kagome trailed off watching Rin for a little while before she kissed her forehead and got up. When she got up she was meet by the ladies that shared the hallway. "Oh what are you doing here?" Kagome asked "We came to investigate what the singing was." Yuka Onimuyasha mate said "Oh I'm sorry I disturbed you I know my singing is horrible but Rin seems to like it." Kagome said.
"No your voice was beautiful you should sing more often." Misaou Aoushi's mate said "Thank you well I think I shall go now." Kagome said going past the ladies and adorning her emotionless mask. Kagome sensed Inuyasha was very near the palace.
Kagome walked past the guards and walked towards where she felt Inuyasha. Only five minuets away from the castle she saw Inuyasha and Kikyou. "I will not let her make a fool of me like that." Inuyasha said "Yes Inuyasha we need to take revenge upon her after you let me heal your wounds." Kikyou said. Kagome then felt somebody behind her and pulled out her sword silently. She turned around only to see it was Sesshoumaru. "Lord Sesshoumaru what are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
"I sensed my half-brother nearby and wanted to find out why he is so close to my palace." Sesshoumaru said quietly. "Fine but you're not having all of the fun." Kagome said walking towards Inuyasha's camp. "Inuyasha why are you so close to Lord Sesshoumaru's palace?" Kagome asked "To kick you're butt." Inuyasha said getting up but falling down right after. "Tsk tsk Inuyasha rule number five never go looking for a fight when you're injured other wise I or the person could whoop your ass." Kagome said. "This is nothing I can still take you on." Inuyasha said picking up Tetsusaiga. Kagome disappeared behind him. "Never turn your back on your enemy no matter the appearance it takes on." Kagome said before hitting him on a pressure point. He immediately fainted "That was too easy. Kikyou take you're lover and leave never step fast the village I encountered you in." Kagome said turning around.
Kagome heard the tightening of a bow string then the release. Kagome spun around and caught the arrow in mid air. "Rule number 6 never try and fight me." Kagome said in a menacing tone then walked off.
Sesshoumaru stayed and watched Kagome until she left he followed after her. When they arrived home Kagome took another bath to get the smell of death off her. Kikyou's smell was so strong it transferred on to Kagome. After her bath she went to sleep.
The next mourning Kagome went down to the lake on Sesshoumaru's property it had a waterfall she could meditate under. Kagome sat under the waterfall thinking about the final battle with Naraku she would eventually have to see Inuyasha again but she wondered if she could bring herself to kill him 'No Kikyou will do that for me when she goes to hell and takes him along for the ride.' Kagome thought. Her thoughts then wandered to a certain Taiyoukai. She noticed how whenever she was near him her stomach and heart would flop every time she saw him. Or how when ever he touched her she felt a kind of shock. She then noticed that whenever Sesshoumaru held her to him to correct her stance she found she fit him perfectly. 'I never felt like this when I loved Inuyasha the feelings I feel towards Sesshoumaru are stronger. I Love Sesshoumaru.' Kagome thought she tried saying that to see how it felt. It felt right. Kagome suddenly came to a realization. "Oh my god I'm in love with Sesshoumaru. The ningen hating demon lord. Oh how fate is cruel to make me love those who do not return my affections.' Kagome thought.
Sesshoumaru walked to the lake in hopes of meditating when he saw Kagome was there. He studied her as her facial expression showed she was in deep thought. He studied her features her hair clung to the side of her face contrasting with her pale almost white skin. Her clothes were dark so that it would not turn see through. The fabric clung to her curves showing her small but strong body. 'She's beautiful... What the hell where did that come form.' Sesshoumaru thought
You know she really is beautiful
'Who are you?' Sesshoumaru wondered
I'm you conscious.
'Go away I am in no need for you. And I do not think the ningen is beautiful.'
then why did you help her why do you enjoy her touches so much.
'Grr go away!' Sesshoumaru barked
fine be that way.
Sesshoumaru had to admit that infernal conscious was right. He yearned for her touch; he felt strange sensations when she was near. Sesshoumaru was taken out of his reverie when somebody called him. "What?" Sesshoumaru asked. In front of him stood a very wet Kagome "I asked if I could leave I need to collect the jewel shards and kill Naraku." Kagome said. "Yes, I shall accompany you as well I need to patrol my lands." Sesshoumaru said Kagome bowed her wet hair falling past her shoulders "Arigato Lord Sesshoumaru." Kagome said.
