Chapter 10: Finding things for Keade/The end and reasons

"Well, how do we get rid of the curse???" Kagome was impatient. She didn't want Keade to go back on her promise. She wanted to remove the curse……. And to tell Sesshoumaru how she felt. But she was worried that Sesshoumaru-sama would not have the same feelings towards her as she did towards him. But that was a risk she was going to take……. Just not in front of the others, that would be embarrassing. She would ask him later. "I want to get rid of this thing and go home, I never wanted to come back in the first place," Kagome lied. She had wanted to come back, she just didn't want to come back and not be able to have Sesshoumaru, and she wanted him to love her too. She wasn't sure about it, but that was what she wanted.

"Well……. I will need some things first……. You will have to find them for me!!! (A/N: SUNVISOR SONG!!!! YAY!!!! Erm, sorry!) Go, and get them and I will remove the curse for you."

"FINE!!" This was from Sesshoumaru. "Just tell us what we need, and we'll get it." So Kagome did feel the same way for someone in the room, like he felt for her……. He'd have to tell her how he felt later…….Then he could finally find out if he and Kagome shared the same feelings. Little did he know that Kagome was thinking the same thing.

Keade gave them a list of items they needed, and they set off. The list was simple, just a few herbs that Sesshoumaru knew how to get, and some of the other ones Kagome knew how to get, and one thing that only Kenshaw could give……. One of his dragon scales……. The one thing a dragon most treasured. Kenshaw didn't like it. He was furious when he found out, and refused to give it at first, so they just agreed to get the other things first and then try to get a scale. Kenny was still upset by this, at the end of the search, but he knew that he had to, if he wanted to remove the curse from his lord. So he gave one of his most precious scales for the sake of Lord Sesshoumaru, one of the ones that protected his heart. This was the greatest gift that he could give to his lord, so he gave it.

Sesshoumaru was surprised by what the dragon had done for him……. He didn't believe that was in Kenshaw's nature……. A heart scale, one of the most sacred scales a dragon could, and would ever, grant a friend or lord. He was glad that Kenny hadn't let anyone know where the scale had come from, and a new scale was already growing there, so it didn't look too bad. It was so nice of the former vassal, and the newly gained best friend.

"We have brought you what you need, Keade, and my friend, Kenshaw, has given an extra special gift for me," Sesshoumaru said as they returned to Keade's company. He was glad that the curse was going to be broken, and that he could finally show his emotions naturally. He had learned a lesson from this curse, and knew that it wasn't healthy to not show his emotions all the time. From now on, he would at least let the others know what he was feeling, and let them know if they could help, and the first item on his agenda for that was to tell Kagome about his feelings for her.

"Good, lay them before me." Keade began to chant as they were laid before her. Sesshoumaru felt something odd happening to his body……. He was so used to the curse, he didn't even think of how the magic had felt, and he was surprised, and it showed, even as the curse left his body.

"Damn, Kagome, I never thought it would make me feel better to show my emotions, and surprised me at how many emotions I had, but didn't even I know I had them!! Can you forgive me for yelling at you?"

"Oh, Sesshoumaru-sama, of course I can forgive you, that's what people do when they try to……. Well, I'll tell you that later. But of course I can forgive you, why wouldn't I?"

And comprehension dawned on Sesshoumaru that HE was the one that she had loved all along, and that the feelings were mutual. He was so overjoyed, that he didn't wait to tell her, but right then and there he kissed her.

Kagome was surprised that she didn't realize that she had been so naive back then. She had lost the ability to curse people the moment that Sesshoumaru kissed her, because he had been all that mattered. They had been true to each other ever since, and Kagome had borne his pups, Itiga and Karasanu, two beautiful little boys. They lived in the future, and Sesshoumaru was a successful businessman, and Kagome was the best stay at home mom anyone could ever wish for. But that was only because she had to be, what with another pup on the way. She hoped that this one would be a daughter, then she might have a child whom she could teach about humans and why it was wrong to hate them.

At that moment, Sesshoumaru came in the door with their adopted daughter Rin and their adopted Kitsune son, Shippou. "Sesshoumaru-sama!!! You're home!!! I missed you so much," Kagome cried out as he walked in. "please, how many times do I have to tell you, Kags, just Sess or Sesshoumaru will suffice!" "as many times as you want, I just want to hear you say it!"

(A/N: HEY ALL!! this whole thing was just a flashback of Kagome's. They have a perfectly healthy realationshipm and if you want the angsty stuffs, Give me your e-mail, and i'll mail it to you.)
