Doom's Corner:

Okay, I went to school this morning, but had to come home sick, so I figured that I should type another chapter or two!!! sniffle God I am so sick! Okay, like I said last chapter, you get to see a little agreement that was made by InuTaisho and Kaede many years ago. Guess what it is? Oh, well, you get to read it in the next few pages, so, ON WITH THE FIC!!!

Love Always and forever,

Pirate Maiden of Doom

Chapter Four

Previously:

"What happened?" She asked again.

"You died."

Now...

"I... died?" Kagome asked through cloudy eyes.

Sesshomaru nodded slightly and turned his head away. "Yes."

Kagome looked around him. Sesshomaru turned away from her questioning gaze. "Sesshomaru, how could I have died?" Kagome continued to try to catch his gaze. "Am I in heaven?"

Suddenly there was a rustle in the bushes. Kagome and Sesshomaru both knew who it was, and had a faint idea of why he had came. Kagome tensed, and Sesshomaru grabbed the hilt of his sword. They had both looked at the bushes, ready to fight (or in Kagome's case, run.) from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha broke through the rest of the bushes. His eyes were steely red and he had purple strips down his face. He looked as though he was being possessed. And he only said one word. "Mate..."

Kagome was to scared to move. The throbbing between her legs suddenly amplified a thousand times. She couldn't believe this was happening. "Sesshomaru, am I in hell?" She asked as she silently inched towards him.

"No." He said as he moved in front of her.

"Are you sure that this isn't a very bad dream!" Kagome screamed as she covered her eyes and prayed that when she opened them, she would be back in the eastern lands.

"Yes." Inuyasha said as he slowly circled around Kagome and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru pushed Kagome back further behind him.

"She is not your mate, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said.

"I know what you did, older brother. You brought her back to life. That sword, Tensugia, what a wonderful sword. I could have Kagome be my slave for ever and eternity if I had that sword. Ah, but father did favor you to give you the sword of life and the lands, didn't he? All I got was a sword of death. Tetsugia. And, you were also blessed with the girl." Inuyasha said as he motioned slightly towards Kagome with his head. Kagome saw this and was slightly confused.

"Well, I can't let you have all the fun." Inuyasha said. "So why don't we both have a go at her? I'll take the front, you can take the back, and we'll all just have a family bonding?" Inuyasha said. His eyes looked far away.

Sesshomaru growled loudly. He felt his blood begin to boil. 'That sick... That bastard!' He thought as he tried to gain control of his emotions. 'I can't get out of control. I have to kill Inuyasha though!'

Kagome heard Sesshomaru growling and started to back away from him too. 'What's going on?' Of course, Kagome had heard of the two feuding brothers, one with the sword of life, the other with the sword of death. They had been in her childhood stories. But she had no idea that they were real. And fighting for what appeared to be her.

Kagome had never been outside of the castle walls without a guard, and even then, it was only to a controlled environment. She had actually ran away to return the pelt before Sesshomaru had gotten wind of it. She didn't even really know who she was looking for. She figured that he would stand out. But now she realized that she would have done better if she had sent an actual servant to send the pelt to Sesshomaru.

She began to shiver in fear.

Sesshomaru felt her shake and quieted his growling. He quickly put up his sword.

"What, is the great Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands afraid of his half breed brother?" Inuyasha said as he smirked.

Sesshomaru looked away from his brother. "Leave now or I will be forced to do something that I have wanted to do for a long time."

Inuyasha's smirk grew bigger. "What, kill me?"

Sesshomaru flashed him a glare. If looks could kill....

Inuyasha felt the evilness emitting from his brother's look. "As you wish, your highness." Inuyasha began to walk away. "I'll be back for my mate." He said as he leaped away from the two demons.

"Oh god... Oh god... Oh god!!" Kagome screamed as she tried to run away.

Sesshomaru saw her sudden movement. "Wait, wait wait wait!" He said as he grabbed her from around the waist.

Kagome twisted and turned in his grasp. "He's going to come back! He's going to get me! Let me go, you stupid dog!" Kagome said as she slapped him across the face.

Sesshomaru didn't let her go. "I WONT LET HIM HURT YOU!!!" He screamed as he pulled her into his body. Kagome felt his warm embrace. She stopped moving. "I wont let anyone get you. " He whispered in to her ear. Kagome shuddered slightly as she felt his breath sweep across her neck.

"How do I know that you won't let him get me? How do I know that you won't do the same thing he did?" Kagome asked as she let a single tear roll down her cheek.

Sesshomaru felt the salt water. He turned to her face and licked it up comfortingly. "I give you my word." He said in to her cheek.

"How do I know." Kagome said.

"If I wanted to hurt you I would have already. If I wanted to have you dead I would have left you." Sesshomaru said into her ear as his lips moved a crossed her skin. "If I wanted to rape you like that bastard did, I wouldn't have given you my shirt."

Kagome felt herself falling in to him. She felt the pain of the last twenty-four hours clashing down on her, and then being lifted up by this man. This stranger. Yet she felt like she knew him from a long time ago. "I know you, from somewhere, Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru stiffened. Suddenly all of his memories came back. He remembered growing up with this girl, befriending her, even, loving her. He remembered that when he became old enough to take a mate, she was still too young. So he was sent away. He knew that her mother had wanted her to make her own choice in who she mated. So her mother had broken the promise to have Sesshomaru and Kagome be betrothed. She had then cast a spell so that they wouldn't remember their childhood. But Sesshomaru remembered. He remembered having to say goodbye to her. He remembered their blood oath that they would always be friends. He remembered that they had promised each other that no spell could stop them from seeing each other again. He remembered how hard he fought to go to her, to talk to her, to just be near her, but she would never remember.

He remembered his father dyeing, leaving him the western lands. He remembered that everyone had told him that he had to pick a mate now. But he didn't know why. Now he realized it was so that he wouldn't pick Kagome. He couldn't ever remember her. He wasn't supposed to. Kaede didn't want them to be mated. At least, not until Kagome was older. Now he had realized why his brother was always so jealous of him. Now he realized why his father had made him promise to wait to made until something felt different. He had never knew what he had meant. And now...

"It's fate..." Sesshomaru said as he hugged Kagome. He took in her smell. The smell that he had finally remembered. The smell that he had missed for so long. The smell that he would sometimes catch a drift of, and feel a heart breaking longing. Now he knew why.

"Kagome..." He whispered as he felt her fall asleep in his arms. As soon as she was asleep, he picked her up and started to carry her back to his castle. "I love you."
