Chapter 10: Can't Escape From The Lord And Lady
Kagome found the garden and she marveled at its beauty. She walked over to a cherry blossom tree and sat down under it.
"This is so beautiful... it's so calm and peaceful here..." Kagome closed her eyes and leaned against the tree breathing calmly.
"What has happened here?!" A woman yelled as she walked into the ballroom. The little girl turned around and hid behind the older boy in front of her.
"N-nothing... Nami..." The little girl replied.
"And you, demon boy, what has happened to this room? Did that stupid idiot do this?" Nami said.
The boy didn't answer but just stood sternly in front of the older woman, looking at her with cold eyes.
"Oh, so you are no going to answer to me, the head maid of this household? Is that how it is going to be? I shall tell the Lord and the Lady that you were here, Sesshomaru. Surely they will punish you, perhaps you shall die in the process." Nami laughed as she left the ballroom to the Lord's quarters.
"I'm sorry... come on, my father won't find you if he can't smell you." The girl grabbed a hold of the boy's hand and the two zoomed out of the castle.
"Stay right here." The girl turned around and the castle door shut. A black light appeared as she blew on the white powder on her palm. She took out her other potion and another light appeared.
"There, this should hold them off until you get safely home. GO!" The girl ran back inside the castle and the door shut right in front of the demon boy; he ran like the wind back to his home.
Kagome looked around as she opened her eyes.
'Why do I always... see these visions...? I... never know who the people are... and that name... Sesshomaru... could it be the one that I know now...? Nah it couldn't be.'
Kagome jerked when she felt someone's hand on her shoulder, she turned around she was face to face with none other than Sesshomaru. She blushed deep red as she was so mesmerized by his golden eyes.
"Taki wants to see you. She has some busy that she wants to talk to you about... she has already talked to me about it... and I guess I have to agree with her." Sesshomaru held out his hand and Kagome took it as he led her to Taki's quarters.
"Thanks... for taking me here." But when Kagome turned around, Sesshomaru had already been walking down the hall.
'Am... I falling... NO! I am just losing my head right now!' Sesshomaru thought as he scolded himself for thinking about love.
Kagome knocked on Taki's door a few times before Taki actually answered the door; she was dressed nicely in a dark red gown while her hair was up in a bun with a little net on the back.
"Kagome! Where have you been?! I looked in the garden for you... and I thought you were there... but no one was there, so I thought that you might have gotten lost... I was soo scared... but Sesshomaru assured me that he was going to find you, and now here you are!" Taki hugged her new friend and pulled her inside the room.
"What did you want me to talk to you about...? Is it something important that Sesshomaru could not tell me, Taki? Is it something bad, have I done something to hurt the Lord and Lady in a way?"
"Kagome, calm down, do not worry... nothing has happened except... well... how do I put this... Lady Mina is very happy that Sesshomaru came to her lands... but remember how I told you that this land revolves around love? Well, when you and Sesshomaru landed and passed the barrier... the spell is stuck on you two... and for some certain reason... they cannot remove the spell that has been placed on you two... Lady Mina and Lord Shimisu agreed that they can bend the rules a bit to help out an old friend... so they decided to let Sesshomaru go... but when he tried to leave... the barrier pushed him back down..."
"Oh... so am I going to be stuck here forever? Well until I find my love...?" Kagome looked down at her hands that were folded across her lap and gave a loud and heavy sigh.
"Oh, but Lady Mina and I have figured out a plan... well a way that true lovers reveal their love is that they must show it to the world. Well, since tonight is the pre-ball... the ball where only the Lords and Ladies are allowed to and tomorrows ball is their families can come along... well anyway, we figure that if you two want to leave this land, then you can pretend to be lovers! Isn't that a great idea?"
Kagome looked wide-eyed at Taki, no way was she going to pretend to in love with that dog demon! She despised his guts and loathes over his beauty... and yet was it all true...?
"Did he really agree to this?"
"What do you mean, he?"
"Sesshomaru told me that he agreed to this plan... why?"
"Well he does want to get out of these lands... he wants to go home, Kagome... and I presume you want to go back on your journey... this is the only way that might work... please try it, Kagome..." Taki looked at Kagome with puppy eyes that couldn't be resisted.
"Fine... I will do it." Taki clapped her hands and dragged Kagome out of her room to another room that was right across. Taki closed the door and locked it.
"W-what are you doing, T-taki...?"
"I get to do the things that I could never do to my little sister... who has passed on... but milady has asked me to dress you up like one of the princesses in the other lands... milady has no daughters... only sons... but they have moved on..."
"B-but I am not that pretty... there is really no need..."
"What are you talking about?! You are the most beautiful... creature that has landed on this earth, don't say that Kagome..."
"Thank you, Taki." Kagome looked over to the bed and she saw three traditional kimonos, two formal gowns, three nightdresses, and five pairs of sleeping clothes.
"Oh, Lady Mina thought that you would be staying here for the whole entire party which lasts for about a week or less... I have forgotten but it's really fun and by then, the spell will probably ware off and you can leave."
"What do I have to wear tonight?"
"Tonight is tradition, all of the Lords and Ladies must wear kimonos... and since you are very lucky that Sesshomaru is a Lord, he can attend this ball, plus everyone knows him, so you might have to stay here a little less time! See, it all works out!"
"Do I get to choose, which one I get to wear?" Kagome blushed as she asked, for she had never really seen real silk in her life before, she had only worn the cotton kinds, for she lived in a poor village.
"Yep."
Kagome looked at the first one; it was plain white with cherry blossoms decorated all over, the second one was dark blue with stars decorated all over, and finally the third was black with red blossoms that only covered the sleeves and the bottom half of the kimono. Each kimono had a transparent shawl that matched the color of the kimono.
"WOW! They are all so beautiful!"
"You have never seen something like this before...? I thought you were of nobility..."
"Nope... all I know is that I am from a small human village... I never seen anything like this before, Taki. They are so pretty."
"Then... how come you hold so much power...?"
"To tell you the truth... I really don't know... I don't know my past... at all." Kagome said in a sad tone.
"Oh, I am so sorry that I asked."
"Oh, don't worry about it... I am over it..." Kagome giggled as she picked the one that she liked the most.
"That one is going to really show your personality. You will look great in it." Kagome went behind a sliding room and changed into the kimono.
"Kagome, are you finished?" Kagome walked out from behind the sliding door and there stood Kagome, the most beautiful creature that Taki had ever laid eyes on.
"Wow! You look amazing; I bet you all of the ladies would be jealous of you for making their husbands look at you all night."
"Thank you..."
Taki led Kagome to a seat that was right in front of a mirror, she pulled out a few ribbons and some make up made from the flowers and herbs of the castle's gardens. Taki took Kagome's long hair and brushed it so it even silkier than before. She pulled it back into a low half ponytail while some of Kagome's bangs fell in front of her face.
"Would you like some of Lady Mina's make up?" Kagome looked at herself in the mirror and nodded a no.
"It's okay... I wouldn't want to hide my marks." Taki giggled and left the room, but before she closed the door to go change into her kimono, she told Kagome where to go within the next half hour.
"Kagome, please go down to the ballroom within the next half hour, the ball is starting in an hour, but the Lady wants to look you over."
"All right." Kagome took one last look at herself and she left the room towards the ballroom. The only person that she saw was the Lady herself.
"L-lady Mina..." The lady looked at Kagome and was stunned and jealous at the same time.
"Oh, Kagome... is it?"
"Yes..."
"Well, you look very pretty in that kimono. Well, has Taki told you of the plan?"
"Yes, she has."
Lady Mina walked over to the table and she gave Kagome a sad look but there was anger in her eyes also. She motioned to Kagome to sit down right next to her. She sat down and laid her down on the table.
"Have you known Sesshomaru in a past life?"
"I don't... remember."
"Well... that's strange, a girl who doesn't even know her past. My best friend... hmm... I seem to have forgotten her name... it has been such a long time when I last saw her... that is so strange, I have never forgotten her name before... but now I seem to have forgotten." Lady Mina tried to remember but she couldn't no matter how hard she tried.
"Kagome... do you like Sesshomaru?"
"I... no."
"Oh, let me tell you something, after this week I do not want to see you traveling with him anymore, you got it? I hate every girl that throws themselves at his feet."
"I am not throwing myself at him! How could you say that?! The only way that would make you say that is you must have been in love with him in your past, that is why you are always bitter to every woman in this household! He never loved you back, that is why you are so cold to every woman that travels with him." Kagome yelled back as she got up and was about to leave the ballroom.
"Do you dare talk back to me? I am the Lady of this land and I can execute you and take away your life!"
"Please don't threaten me, the only way that you can execute me is permission from your husband, you have no rights because when you married him, you had no power because you are weaker than him, so you obviously cannot defeat him, that is why you have no rights to make certain orders." Kagome was about to leave when Mina threw a sword from under the table at her, Kagome turned around and her eyes were black and stared blankly at Mina. Kagome dodged the sword and tackled Mina to ground. Mina screamed wildly and she tried to kick Kagome, but couldn't for she was too weak without her husband.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" Mina yelled.
As Sesshomaru was walking by the ballroom, he heard all of the screaming and all he saw was Kagome on top of Mina with a sword in her hand.
"SOMEONE HELP ME!" Mina screamed again and was suddenly relieved when she smelled Sesshomaru's scent in the air.
"Kagome!" Taki yelled as she entered the room when she heard Lady Mina's scream of help.
"Do not waste you breath on calling out to her name, she can't even hear you."
"What has happened to her, Sesshomaru?!"
"She has transformed..."
"W-why?"
"The only way that she can transform is when she full of anger and rage. She can't even control it, she doesn't know what she is doing."
"How do you stop her?"
"I am not quiet... sure..."
"What?! You have been traveling with her and you don't know how to transform her back?! Do something before she kills milady!"
Sesshomaru whispered something into her ear when he had kneeled down right in front of Kagome.
"I love you... my angel."
Kagome was so close into killing Mina when she suddenly collapsed on the floor.
"He isn't worth your time, my daughter! Why do you like him so much? I can offer you other demon guys to you."
"Why do you hate him so much?"
"You, are the daughter of me so you will obey what I say to you!"
"I am fourteen and I can do anything on my own now! Don't tell me what to do!"
The lord was so angry with his daughter, she had hated him and he knew it very well.
"Do not talk back to me! Is that what your mother and I taught you?!"
The little girl was angry right now and all of a sudden something in her body took over. Her eyes turned a different color and they stared at the lord evilly.
"What is wrong with you?!"
When Kagome had woken up, she was in a room that she had never seen before; her memory was so vague that she couldn't remember what happened and why she was in this strange room. Kagome sat up and looked around for anyone and she caught the scent of the person she knew ever sense her journey began.
"It's about time you woke up." The voice said.
"How long have I been sleeping?"
"Just an hour, the ball started already... thanks..."
"For what?"
"For getting me out of the first hour of the ball." Kagome blushed at what the lord was saying; he was actually thanking her.
"Well... shall we pretend to be in love?" Sesshomaru asked as he walked up to Kagome.
"Wait, how is my hair?"
"Its... fine."
"Okay, I am ready to go... my prince in shining armor." The little girl laughed as she walked into the ballroom with the man that she fell in love with.
Kagome felt a little headache when that memory came into her mind.
'That was... really strange.'
"Hey, your dressed like me... but you have moons on your sleeves. We are matching!" Kagome explained.
"It seems that we both like the same type of clothes."
The two walked down the hall and something overcame Kagome, she grabbed onto the lord's arm and she hooked her arm with him. Sesshomaru felt hot when she did that but he didn't push her away... for he felt comfortable being with her.
"Welcome, Miss Kagome... Lord Sesshomaru." Taki said as she opened the door for the two of them.
Everyone turned their heads when they saw Sesshomaru and Kagome enter. Every man stared at Kagome and every woman stared at Sesshomaru.
Mina sat in her throne and just stared at the picture in front of her, she was so angry with what Sesshomaru said to her... and it broke her heart when he said that line to Kagome.
Flashback
"Mina! What did you say to her?!" Sesshomaru asked enraged, as he knew Mina would always make fun and make the girls feel bad of the way they looked; it happened every time when he brought some girls in the past.
"I didn't say anything to her." Mina turned away and stood up.
Sesshomaru grabbed her by the arm and squeezed it hard.
"OUCH!"
"The only way she could turn this way if she was really angry at something."
"Is it true... what you said?"
"What?"
"What you said to her, is it true?"
"No."
"Then, how did you know that was going to stop her?!"
"I don't know, you did tell her that she was ugly, didn't you?"
"No... I told her... to keep away from you."
"Mina. We have been through this many times you have a mate already... I am sorry... but I don't love you..." Sesshomaru kneeled down and picked Kagome off of the ground and headed towards the room that he was assigned to.
"I am going to be late... I will be watching over her, don't mind me when I come in and if you tell the lord what happened I will tell him what you did to his servant friend." Mina panicked... and she just ran off to her room.
End of Flashback
"Lords and Ladies! Please welcome Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, Lord Sesshomaru and his Mistress Kagome!" Taki yelled to get everyone's attention. Every woman was either jealous or adored Kagome as she walked past them.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome yelled as she felt a sharp pain in her chest, she collapsed into his arms and fell unconscious.
'This place has brought me nothing but trouble...' Kagome thought as she blacked out.
Everyone gasped as they saw the young girl in Sesshomaru's arms. He rushed her out of the ballroom and placed her on his bed. She lay still on the bed with no movement.
There was suddenly a knock on the door and it was Taki who gave an apologetic look at him.
"What is it, Taki?"
"Well... I kind have miscalculated... how many guests there were going to be... and I forgot to give Kagome a separate room... and well all of the rooms are occupied... so you two will be sharing a room for about a week or so... is that all right."
"Yeah... whatever." Sesshomaru closed the door on Taki's face as he felt a headache coming. He leapt out onto the balcony and went to sit in the tree that was closest to the room. As the night went on, the ball was coming to an end and everyone retired to his or her rooms.
When the clocks stroke midnight a little bell went off and Kagome's eyes shot open, but they weren't their normal color... they were black, the thing was that they held love. She sat up and looked around the room for any sign of the demon lord. Kagome walked over to the balcony and there she saw Sesshomaru sleeping peacefully.
"My love, I remember." Kagome stepped onto the railing of the balcony but she slipped and fell before she could reach Sesshomaru. When she was about to hit the floor, black wings sprouted and they flew her back up to the balcony. She closed the space between them and kissed Sesshomaru on the lips. Only one person witnessed this as they were walking out to see if everyone really had gone to bed. He looked up and stared at her beauty.
Sesshomaru's eyes opened slowly and looked into black eyes. He was in shock that she was kissing him. He pushed her away lightly and he saw her full from with her black wings, she was no longer dressed in the kimono but in a short skirt with a low cut sleeved shirt that went down to her elbows and belly button.
"W-what are you doing?" Sesshomaru asked as stood up and jumped back over to the balcony.
"You don't remember?" Kagome said coldly as she turned to face the moon.
"Remember what?"
Kagome eyes welled up with tears and she jumped off of the balcony and flying to the castle's sacred garden. Once she got there she leaned against her favorite tree, and she sat there crying.
'Why am I crying? Why are my eyes filled with tears?' Kagome thought as she transformed back to her original self.
She wiped the last remaining tears and soon sleep overcame her, she slept through the night in the garden with a certain someone watching over her.
Meanwhile Sesshomaru was confused at everything that was happening. SHE had kissed him!
'Why is this happening to me? She said that I didn't remember... remember what though? What is she talking about?' Sesshomaru was too confused to stay in the room, so he decided to go take flight into the night sky.
The Next Day
Kagome slowly awoke to the morning rays that shined on her, she smelled something different in the garden, and it was someone's scent. She sat up and observed the garden when she heard a rustle in the bushes.
"Who's there? Show yourself."
"My, if it isn't Mistress Kagome." The man said as he walked out of the bushes.
"How long have you been there?"
"Not long at all... I just wanted to see my garden when I saw your sleeping form, so I did not want to disturb you."
"Well... I am sorry that I am sleeping in your garden, Lord Shimisu."
"Do not worry about. Now will you join us for breakfast after you wash up?"
"No... thanks... I am not very hungry this morning."
"Then, I shall show you the hot springs so you can freshen up."
"No... I can find my way, please do go eat your breakfast."
The lord looked at Kagome and slammed her against the door and started kissing her. Kagome kicked him but it was no use.
"LET GO OF ME, BASTARD!"
"You are so beautiful, Kagome! I shall have you as mine!"
