Chapter 4: A Tangled Web Of Dilemma
The bed seemed comfier than it could have been. (Maybe it's because all of this stress, yikes I might even get gray hairs!) Kagome let her body fumble on the velveteen bed and let loose. It had been somewhere near an hour and Kagome still lie in her tossed around form. Sesshoumaru had just unloaded the biggest most surprising thing news to her and she caught the flying load with a splat.
Her eyes wandered to the ceiling. Kagome placed a hand over her forehead and she sighed.
(I'm The Lady Of The Western Lands.)
She couldn't believe it in her mind still so she spoke it softly to herself.
"I'm The Lady Of The Western Lands"
Although her voice betrayed her and sounded dull with distaste. No, she wasn't The Lady Of The Western Lands, she was Kagome Higurashi, the semi normal girl who traveled with a group in the past trying to recover the shards of a jewel that grants your wish while trying to make it back to her time to make up tests that probably couldn't be made up with summer school.
She grasped her face with both hands and groaned in conflicting thoughts.
"I am NOT The Lady Of The Western Lands!"
She shouted, "I am NOT your mate!"
Kagome shook her head again and glared at Sesshoumaru heatedly. "You hear me? I am NOT The Lady Of The Western Lands!" Her tone and face furious did nothing for the demon lord as he stood there as stoically as ever. He could have laughed at Kagome but chose to use such actions for another savoring chance to anger her.
He walked forward to stand in front of her and when he did he tilted his head upwards with a haughty looking down upon visage. Sesshoumaru smirked. "You may say that but denying the inevitable will only make it harder on yourself." She gaped at him in disbelief "You've got to be kidding!"
He glared at her this time becoming irritated. "I have told you already I do not need to repeat myself." Kagome huffed and looked away. She stood just as haughty as the lord himself except flaring with anger and not smug grace. She looked at him with the corner of her eye and spoke in harsh voices. "You can try all you want but there is NO way I am going to be your golden ticket to power you got that!?"
He was still looking down upon her the same way but not with irritation anymore. His face feigned a small tug at his lips and he replied. "I accept your offer Higurashi Kagome." He smelt it again, that same burning scent.
She was pissed.
Kagome growled and forced a fist into the bedding. (I can't believe him! Talking to him makes me mad, but listening and thinking about him makes me furious!) She whipped herself up and clenched her fist tight. The anger inside was almost unbearable and was evident to everyone with her stomping and menacing face. But could anyone question her? No, she was mad and that more than a good enough reason to be the way she was.
She gripped her hand one last time before falling back into the bed. The girl lied there in the consuming comforter and sighed heavily. (He's made me so mad I can think straight! Ugh what am I going to do?) Her head tilted to the side and gazed out longingly to the balcony. The flying birds that chirped by only fed her cringing mood more. (I COULD escape through there, but-) Rethinking the drop again made Goosebumps crawl.
(I probably couldn't make it alive, and knowing what kind of demon Sesshoumaru is he would smell that I am gone and take me back in an instant.) Her face fell into a frown. (What AM I going to do? Sit back and watch Inuyasha's half brother practically flaunt me around?) Speaking of Inuyasha she questioned a little hurt why he hadn't come for her yet.
Kagome hoped desperately that he would find her soon but that didn't veil over the possibility that he might think she's dead. She sighed heavily as the stress seemed to find it's good points. The girl rolled over in frustration and she felt it tinge her eyes with tears. Kagome ran an angered hand over her eyes and huffed (Great what am I going to do now cry?) She sighed. She could make it out through the window if only she had more sheets and something soft to land on...
She sat up instantly. But what IF she did have those things? Kagome jumped off the bed quickly and searched the room with hope glittering eyes. Her bed was huge and the blankets draped over the edges into neat and even distributions. They were clean she noted to herself meaning that the bloodied ones had to be somewhere. Once she found those she could tie them to clean ones and make a rope. The bed could help as well since it was so soft it could probably break her fall, after all she wasn't that heavy.
"Ah ha! I found you!" Kagome dove over the bed and snatched the sheets tightly. Her face then smirked into a determined grin. (I'm not too far from freedom now!) Grabbing the heavy sheet she tied the end to the clean one. The girl heaved the now huge blanket over her shoulder and staggered over to the balcony. Making sure that the binding knot was safely secure she tied the end to the over hangs pillar and dropped the rest over.
(Now the bed...) she thought looking back. Kagome walked over lightly to her bed and yanked it out of its post. "Whoa!" She yelped in surprise as it nearly crushed her. It made a fairly large thud sound and she froze in shock. Stiffened and frozen for five minutes she stood quickly and gripped the mattress tight. (This thing weighs a ton!) Dragging the giant bed over to the balcony she felt her breath hitch in her throat.
Over looked over shoulder at the drop and gulped. It wasn't too far down, but far enough if she didn't fall right she would surely die. Kagome lifted the mattress into her embrace and hefted it over the edge (Well here goes nothing.) But as Kagome was in the amidst of pouring its self over the edge she felt the weight shift her over.
She couldn't loose the mattress because if she didn't set it right she would loose all chances! Her fingers crushed into the velvet harshly. "Oh no!" Her feet hardly touched the ground now and she was tilting off the edge. "Oh Ah AH NO!" The mattress flew forward into the air with Kagome. Her body pressed to the mattress like body boarding in the air.
"AHHHHH MMMYYY GOOODDD!" The black blur was rushing below quickly unburdened with the winds strong toll. It began to shift in her grasp and Kagome freaked out, she began to tilt the break fall to her body. Her heart was racing madly as she plummeted. Her vision was blocked by the mattress and could not see anything but a huge wall underneath. Her eyes gaped in horror
(I'M GOING TO DIE) with her last breath Kagome screamed all she could muster. In the last moments the mattresses began to fly forward enough so the end hit the wall. It began flipping forward madly in a swirling torrent but Kagome's amazingly strong death clutch held her with it and the mattress first fell in a semi deep pond below.
It's grand splash washed over her death shaken body and cooled her down instantly. She could not release herself from the madness and remained idle for moments. (What the hell is wrong with me!?) She screamed in mind before jumping off the bed and into lands comforting presence. Kagome staggered off clumsily still shaken from the shock of it all.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid." Was all she kept mumbling as she shuffled to the forest.
Sesshoumaru paid no attention to his paper work and gazed out to the window absently. "My lord! I have the scrolls of the lands current standing status!" Jaken yelped hot on his own heels to the tai-youkai. Clumsily, the toad demon managed to trip over his feet and scatter the documents everywhere. He gasped.
"Oh please my Lord Sesshoumaru forgive me!" His panting was nothing short from showing his fear of being pulverized. Sloppily hugging the floor in attempt to compose himself he gathered the scrolls quickly and ran to his side. "T-The documents you require my lord!"
He waited in his spot silently clouded with tension. Sesshoumaru was yet to optionally thank him or even acknowledge him. Jaken looked up from his frozen spot and called out weakly. "My Lord Sesshoumaru?"
He was smirking to himself. Sesshoumaru was lost in the moment. (hmm perhaps a little further...)
His blood was boiling madly and his scent was mingling with excitement.
"My Lo-"CRACK! "GWA!" Jaken flew to his knees and instantly shivered in fear. He bowed down trying to appear as lowly as he could. The image of Lord Sesshoumaru flexing and cracking his claws flooded his mind. "Please forgive me!!!" He remained shivering until a silencing wind flew by and patted his head amusingly. He looked up shyly with fearful buggy eyes.
He saw the wind exit through the window following his lord's absence. The curtains pattered softly against the marble.
Softly, her feet barely wafted against the ground. That trip through the window in the air wasn't exactly...one you could get your breath back after.
(Almost there...)
She thought just about breathlessly like her lungs. The boarder line was like meeting land from an ocean, you thought you might never see it. Kagome's arms flailed around lazily and on the occasion slapping bushes and branches. She had cut herself quite a few times but that was it, they were just cuts. Nothing right now was going to stop her from getting to the border.
(Nothing!) Her face yelled it with a look of hard determination.
She excited him. He knew from the moment she had started to feel anxiety to the horrid vortex of human emotions Kagome was missing. His boots lightly tapped the trees below and he flew high in the air pouncing on the airy platforms as he went. Ah what a way to get away from that horrid work and the squabbling insect he thought.
His prey was so near and in only seconds would he end it with a satisfaction.
She smiled happily
(Yes it is! It's the border!)
"Yes!" She called out to herself like a personal savior call.
Her legs and feet filled up with a new found strength and she it felt like skipping through a dream. Her smiling face was brighter than the sun and hope unbroken.
He was at his last checkpoint, in a post right above his borders. It filled him with amusement at who she hoped that this Sesshoumaru would be so blind. Can you imagine? He thought. His senses were sharp and keen pinpointing her without any distraction. He was going to wait until she hit the very end and then would he pounce.
And that wasn't very long.
(It's right there!) She thought excitedly! Kagome watched as her feet was merely inches away. Within the last seconds she actually leapt and landed on the very line like a hopscotching child. Yet when she landed she stumbled back and almost fell over. "Whooa!" Comically she bounced on one foot before growling and regaining posture. Raising a foot she growled. The rock that dared stop her was going bye bye!
Yet looking down more carefully she saw a boot. Kagome paled. It didn't take long for her to know exactly who it was. Looking up she saw a great billowing silk wall. Her face did not feign regret or sadness, it was obvious that he had been toying with her from the start and to make such an entrance only wanted satisfaction. She looked up.
The Taiyoukai towered over her proudly and his gaze was haughty. Kagome was forcing the anger down and he could smell it. This only made a smirk twist on his lips.
"Did you imagine this Sesshoumaru to be so blind?"
He asked her. Yet she said nothing her face was faltering a bit.
Yes anger, frustration, and sadness were starting to show their colors. Kagome snapped her head looking away. She was so close SO close! She could have made it but even so she knew that he would find her. Ultimately it was her fault for doubting the lord. She mentally growled at her stupid conscience talking back.
Her tilted his head somewhat at her form. The odd clothing she had been wearing numerous times was now wet and clinging on to her form indecently. His Midas touched eyes flashed. Exactly how ridiculous of an escape had she attempted?
"You win." She said bitterly
The Inuyoukai raised an elegant brow at her. She was slumped on the ground and watching the leaves be peaceful passer byers into the forest away. Her eyes empty. (Rambling again I see) "Explain yourself." He commanded. The miko looked to him slowly and defeated. She could only hold up her will so long and this was beyond tiring. "I said you win." "And that would conclude?" He said quickly. He had to question her again and it irritated him thoroughly .
She stood and sighed. She had come so close. "I obviously can't run from you I mean you just showed off in my face that." He chuckled inside (How you just now see that) though he quieted again listening to her continue. "So I'm saying." She turned to him with glittering sadistic eyes. "I'll...I'll comply to your wish."
Sesshoumaru said nothing and did nothing. Looking at him with such emotional eyes left him paralyzed. He didn't really know how to react and it was the same as the last time. (Ridiculous) he thought.
"So you are now finally accepting your place by my side?" Though she has accepted the words the meaning was bitter. She sighed and nodded slowly. "Very well." He said before scooping her up like cargo. Kagome yelped shyly but then shouted in his ear. "Hey! Put me down! I can walk!"
He anticipated her shout and glared with a death threat. "You are much too slow human." Kagome huffed. "It's Ka-Go-Me alright?" He said nothing and began to dart off to his home over the hills.
The raven-haired girl watched solemnly as the forest escaped her grasped. The trees silhouette blurred as she felt time lengthen on. What had she done? Seconds ago had the wind blowed and seconds ago had she made a life commitment to a demon! More like the devil she thought in her last check up. (I Kagome Higurashi have single handedly handed myself over to Sesshoumaru! What the heck WAS I thinking?)
Looking up she saw the birds flow with the opposite current flying far, far away. If anything she would hardly be able to make it past the castle walls on her own. Time was already heaving on her and she sighed deeply. What was she thinking then? (This isn't going to be one big vacation but a commitment for life!)
She wouldn't be able to see her family anymore... She gasped and thought (My family! Oh my gosh I have to see them! And maybe...gulp tell mom of my current dilemma) She turned her head to the Taiyoukai's hardened face and paled in comparison. (I'm definitely not looking forward to that)
Kagome closed her eyes for a bit weighed down with stress. (What should I say?) She imagined this. "Oh hey mom! Meet my fiancé! His name is Lord Sesshoumaru of the western lands in Sengoku Jidai, and oh did I mention that he's Inuyasha's half brother? And a full demon? Oh well it must've slipped my mind; anyways I got to go mom! I'll meet you in the next life!" Her face dropped fully. (Oh yeah like that will slip) Kagome thought flatly. She sighed.
(So now I am the mate of the half brother of Inuyasha) Her paled fatigued eyes fluttered open and she gazed out sadly. (It was nice hearing jokes by my family of Inuyasha and me together but now it doesn't seem so amusing) Her hands clutches to Sesshoumaru's back tightly. Her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Sesshoumaru?" She called out shyly
"What?" he responded absently. you stop for a moment?" Instantly he halted and Kagome feared flinging forward although her grip and his strong embrace stopped all of that. "Speak quickly girl the sun retreats over the hills with haste."
Not responding she slid down him minding the uncomfortable touch he ignited in her. Falling to her feet she stopped and stared back at nothingness for a moment. Then slowly she started. "Can you kneel down for a moment?" Sesshoumaru looked at her with no written emotion and queried. "And what would you like to do with me in such a position." He glared at her searching her eyes and scent for any mutinous attempts of surprise although held none.
Kagome made a slightly annoying face and placed a hand on her hip. "I'm not going to do anything funny Sesshoumaru so stop looking at me that way." Yet he refused to back down. "You waste my time tell me now." Kagome huffed with his hardhead ness. Truly at times she could she the similarities between the brothers.
Ignoring him she walked up behind him placed her hands on his shoulders and positioned herself with a piggy back posture. She rested her head against his back and breathed softly. "This is what." Sesshoumaru did nothing for moments merely staring back at her small form on his back. "For mere comfort?" She again spoke softly. "I am no longer complaining?"
He said nothing. Gripping her legs he darted off like a blur of flashing colors. The burning sunset molded their forms together. The blowing wind coaxed her into a deep comforting wake. Kagome nestled her head into the back of the youkai and sighed deeply.
(This was how Inuyasha used to carry me)
She thought before letting her eyes see darkness.

The rock that dared stop her was going bye bye!
Yet looking down more carefully she saw a boot. Kagome paled. It didn't take long for her to know exactly who it was. Looking up she saw a great billowing silk wall. Her face did not feign regret or sadness, it was obvious that he had been toying with her from the start and to make such an entrance only wanted satisfaction. She looked up.
The Taiyoukai towered over her proudly and his gaze was haughty. Kagome was forcing the anger down and he could smell it. This only made a smirk twist on his lips.
"Did you imagine this Sesshoumaru to be so blind?"
He asked her. Yet she said nothing her face was faltering a bit.
Yes anger, frustration, and sadness were starting to show their colors. Kagome snapped her head looking away. She was so close SO close! She could have made it but even so she knew that he would find her. Ultimately it was her fault for doubting the lord. She mentally growled at her stupid conscience talking back.
Her tilted his head somewhat at her form. The odd clothing she had been wearing numerous times was now wet and clinging on to her form indecently. His Midas touched eyes flashed. Exactly how ridiculous of an escape had she attempted?
"You win." She said bitterly
The Inuyoukai raised an elegant brow at her. She was slumped on the ground and watching the leaves be peaceful passer byers into the forest away. Her eyes empty. (Rambling again I see) "Explain yourself." He commanded. The miko looked to him slowly and defeated. She could only hold up her will so long and this was beyond tiring. "I said you win." "And that would conclude?" He said quickly. He had to question her again and it irritated him thoroughly .
She stood and sighed. She had come so close. "I obviously can't run from you I mean you just showed off in my face that." He chuckled inside (How you just now see that) though he quieted again listening to her continue. "So I'm saying." She turned to him with glittering sadistic eyes. "I'll...I'll comply to your wish."
Sesshoumaru said nothing and did nothing. Looking at him with such emotional eyes left him paralyzed. He didn't really know how to react and it was the same as the last time. (Ridiculous) he thought.
"So you are now finally accepting your place by my side?" Though she has accepted the words the meaning was bitter. She sighed and nodded slowly. "Very well." He said before scooping her up like cargo. Kagome yelped shyly but then shouted in his ear. "Hey! Put me down! I can walk!"
He anticipated her shout and glared with a death threat. "You are much too slow human." Kagome huffed. "It's Ka-Go-Me alright?" He said nothing and began to dart off to his home over the hills.
The raven-haired girl watched solemnly as the forest escaped her grasped. The trees silhouette blurred as she felt time lengthen on. What had she done? Seconds ago had the wind blowed and seconds ago had she made a life commitment to a demon! More like the devil she thought in her last check up. (I Kagome Higurashi have single handedly handed myself over to Sesshoumaru! What the heck WAS I thinking?)
Looking up she saw the birds flow with the opposite current flying far, far away. If anything she would hardly be able to make it past the castle walls on her own. Time was already heaving on her and she sighed deeply. What was she thinking then? (This isn't going to be one big vacation but a commitment for life!)
She wouldn't be able to see her family anymore... She gasped and thought (My family! Oh my gosh I have to see them! And maybe...gulp tell mom of my current dilemma) She turned her head to the Taiyoukai's hardened face and paled in comparison. (I'm definitely not looking forward to that)
Kagome closed her eyes for a bit weighed down with stress. (What should I say?) She imagined this. "Oh hey mom! Meet my fiancé! His name is Lord Sesshoumaru of the western lands in Sengoku Jidai, and oh did I mention that he's Inuyasha's half brother? And a full demon? Oh well it must've slipped my mind; anyways I got to go mom! I'll meet you in the next life!" Her face dropped fully. (Oh yeah like that will slip) Kagome thought flatly. She sighed.
(So now I am the mate of the half brother of Inuyasha) Her paled fatigued eyes fluttered open and she gazed out sadly. (It was nice hearing jokes by my family of Inuyasha and me together but now it doesn't seem so amusing) Her hands clutches to Sesshoumaru's back tightly. Her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Sesshoumaru?" She called out shyly
"What?" he responded absently. you stop for a moment?" Instantly he halted and Kagome feared flinging forward although her grip and his strong embrace stopped all of that. "Speak quickly girl the sun retreats over the hills with haste."
Not responding she slid down him minding the uncomfortable touch he ignited in her. Falling to her feet she stopped and stared back at nothingness for a moment. Then slowly she started. "Can you kneel down for a moment?" Sesshoumaru looked at her with no written emotion and queried. "And what would you like to do with me in such a position." He glared at her searching her eyes and scent for any mutinous attempts of surprise although held none.
Kagome made a slightly annoying face and placed a hand on her hip. "I'm not going to do anything funny Sesshoumaru so stop looking at me that way." Yet he refused to back down. "You waste my time tell me now." Kagome huffed with his hardhead ness. Truly at times she could she the similarities between the brothers.
Ignoring him she walked up behind him placed her hands on his shoulders and positioned herself with a piggy back posture. She rested her head against his back and breathed softly. "This is what." Sesshoumaru did nothing for moments merely staring back at her small form on his back. "For mere comfort?" She again spoke softly. "I am no longer complaining?"
He said nothing. Gripping her legs he darted off like a blur of flashing colors. The burning sunset molded their forms together. The blowing wind coaxed her into a deep comforting wake. Kagome nestled her head into the back of the youkai and sighed deeply.
(This was how Inuyasha used to carry me)
She thought before letting her eyes see darkness.
