NEW CHAPTER

He slightly tightened his arms around her, breathing in her scent. 'One last night... one night is all that is left...'

The next morning

Sesshoumaru awoke early, an hour before the break of dawn. He quietly got off of the bed, making sure all of his body parts were off the bed and out of her grasp. He took one last look at her angelic face before calling Gem Gamgee back into the room. "Dress her and wake her up. She needs to go to Fushigi's castle today and now."

Gem nodded as Sesshoumaru left, taking the clothes he had given her the day earlier out of the closet. Expertly, she changed Kagome without waking her and took her school girl uniform. "Lady Kagome... wake up. It's time to go." She gently shook Kagome who moaned and opened her eyes slowly.

The man eater whelp was sleeping at the foot of the bed, having no room to sleep next to Kagome because of Sesshoumaru. It took her awhile to register what Gem meant and she sighed. She had really hoped that Sesshoumaru would have changed his mind last night.

Picking up the whelp she looked at Gem. "Why does Sesshoumaru want me to go away... I don't understand what I did wrong.."

Gem gently smiled at Kagome, "You did nothing wrong. When he found you, he remembered his worst memory. When his mother had died. He had buried that memory but when he saw you injured the memory came back, after all those years of hiding his emotions. He just doesn't want to go through the pain of heartbreak once more."

Kagome nodded slowly, idly petting the whelps head. 'I caused him pain.... That's why he wants me gone....' She sighed and stood up, "Thank you for telling me this....?"

"Gem, Gem Gamgee. That's my name. I'm his maid here. I know a lot more then he knows I do." Gem giggled a little before bending over to give Kagome a hug. "I'll be here when you come back." She exited the room, leaving a confused Kagome in her wake.

Front Hall

In the front, Fushigi and Kitty were standing with their kittens. "It's time to go Kagome." Fushigi said.

Kagome nodded and gave everyone a hug, including Inu Yasha. Kagome and Sesshoumaru stared at each other before he turned and left, without saying good bye. Tears welling up in her eyes, Kagome walked out of the door followed by Fushigi and Kitty.

Unknown to everyone Sesshoumaru had gone up to the balcony and watching Kagome leave, he stood staring at the spot long after she had disappeared from view. Her scent still lingered, but she herself was gone. When it had finally reached nightfall, Sesshoumaru left his perch from the balcony. Out of his pocket he withdrew half of a crescent moon. The other half was in Kagome's pocket which he had slipped in there.

"Just so she won't forget..." he said, standing in the solitary stream of moonlight. His eyes were closed and his fists were clenched, breathing in and out, he took in the last of Kagome's scent before it disappeared from the Western Lands forever.
