Chapter three: Shadows of the Moon

"Sesshomaru?" she gasped.

"Woman," he growled, he quickly grabbed her, and pinned her to a tree with his hands tightly around her throat. "Don't try to fool me, your hair might be shorter and the color might have turned into dark brown, but you still smell like that wench. What are you doing here? Where is my brother? I do not smell him."

"Sess...homaru…can't…breathe…can't talk…" said Kagome, choking. Sesshomaru soften his grip but his hands were still around her neck. "He's at…the wedding," she said softly…fighting hard against her tears.

"Why are you not there?" he questioned her.

"He doesn't know…that I'm back…" Kagome whispered. Sesshomaru looked at her as in disbelief. Suddenly he picked her up, and started torun. "Let me go! Where are you taking me? Le me go!" said Kagome as she tries her best to struggle, but no matter how hard she tried it only made Sesshomaru tighten his grip on her, so she gave up struggle and just silently prayed for herself.

Meanwhile

"Miko Kikyo," called a little girl. The miko turned around and smiled softly at her. Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku turned around too.

"What is it Hana?" asked Kikyo.

"Kagome told me to give you this!" she said as she handed them the basket of food. The name Kagome caught all their attentions.

"She also said, she gives all of you her best wishes, but she needs to go," said Hana.

"Where did she go?" asked Inuyasha quickly.

"She went into the forest," said Hana. Without another word Inuyasha ran as fast as he could straight into the forest.

"Inuyasha!" called Kikyo but her voice soon fell…

"What? When was she here?" thought Inuyasha to himself as he raced through the trees. He finally caught the sense of Kagome, but he stopped when he caught the sense of Sesshomaru…

In the Castle of the West

"Let me go…" she whispered…he finally placed her down on the floor. They have arrived to a castle. Sesshomaru walked on, Kagome had no choice but to follow. When the great gates opened all the youkais bowed and chanted,

"Sesshomaru-sama welcome back." Sesshomaru walked gracefully through the gates and entered his caste, while Kagome tagged along. He continues to walk down until a soft object jumped up to him.

"Sesshomaru, you're back! Rin missed you!" said a little girl. Sesshomaru bend down and picked up the little girl. Rin then spotted Kagome, "Oh! Sesshomaru brought Rin a present right? You brought me a mother!" When Kagome heard that, she almost choked and laughed out loud. For all she know, she was definitely wasn't here to be a mother.

"Rin, she is here to play with you until I sort something out." said Sesshomaru, "and she is NOT going to be your mother."

Rin squirmed into Sesshomaru's arms and gave him a big hug, "Can I go and play with her now?" asked Rin.

"No, not right now, later you may. I need to sort something out with her," said Sesshomaru, "Where is Jaken?" When he said that, as right on cue the toad came in. He had a big lump on his head. He saw Sesshomaru and his eyes widen with fear.

"Sesshomaru-sama, I was…watching Rin, but she then…" Sesshomaru cut him of right there by throwing him to the wall.

"Rin, go and play with Jaken for now," he turned towards Kagome and said, "You, woman, follow me." Kagome followed quietly behind.

He led her through all different halls, and finally he stopped at one with a circler symbol on it. He opened the great oak doors and walked in. Inside there were a desk, a few shelves, a fireplace, a few other furniture, and a beautiful painting of a beautiful lady youkai. Her skin was white and pale, her eyes glowed goldenly, her lips were cherry red, and her hair was long and silvery.

"She's beautiful," Kagome whispered. Sesshomaru turned around and looked at the painting.

"She is," he said, "She was the Lady of the West, until…that woman came along." He growled softly. Kagome stared at Sesshomaru, and suddenly realized that he was referring to Inuyasha's mother. "Well, no matter. I need you to tutor Rin about…human things, until Inuyasha comes and trades you with Tetsusaiga."

"What makes you think he'll trade me with his sword?" Kagome asked.

"You're his woman of course!" he replied as if it was a matter of fact.

"Incase you haven't notice," Kagome started angrily, "he's about to marry Kikyo, and he won't care one thing about me!"

"Your other friends will, but for now I want you to tutor Rin, and play with her…as a playmate. I have other things to do, I'll call Kisa and tell her to help you with things." He ran a soft bell and out came a young servant Youkai.

"How may I help you, Sesshomru-sama?" She asked keeping her head bowed.

"Take her to a room of her liking, teach her the rules around here, and she'll be a playmate of Rin's." he said, and simply went back to work.

"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama," she said, then she turned towards Kagome, "please follow me, Kagome-sama." Kagome followed the servant and walk out the great oak doors.

Where am I?
In a place I don't want to be.
Really is it, but in a way?

It's better than seeing that somebody.

"My Lady, you can choose a room of your liking," said the Young Servant. Kagome walked and looked in every room. All of them were quite huge. She finally stopped when she went in the last door of the hallway.

"It's beautiful," Kagome said. Inside of the room the bed and the pillows were in a rich creamy white. The walls were also white except it had the designs of pink roses, there was a table and a chair too, and inside there were three doors, but what made this room beautiful were the two glass windows. The led to a balcony outside, from there you could see the simmering lake and the beautiful garden. "I want this room please, Kisa."

"My lady," the young maid said in horror, "you don't need to ask, it's your choose! Yes, and I will inform the master." She bowed and left the room. Kagome found herself wanting to take a bath, she walked and opened the first door and found that it was a wardrobe but it was empty, then she tried the second door it seemed to be a closet it had all kinds of materials inside. She finally tried the last door and found it as a bathroom, inside there was an indoor hot spring, and next to there was a place for…other uses. She took of her attire and got into the spring, and she was really glad that she had her backpack with her. She washed herself with lavender soap, and cherry shampoo and conditioner. She was about to get out when she realized that she doesn't have a towel or something to wrap around.

Suddenly the door flew open, the maid was standing there and she bowed. "Sesshomaru-samsa has informed me to bring you these." She laid out a white kimono it has two long flowing ends like if it was a butterfly. The other one was something that looked like a towel. Kagome nodded a thanks and the maid left.

She carefully put it on. It felt so silky against her skin. Her soft brown hair bounced lightly on her shoulders. She took her butterfly earrings off when taking a bath. Now, she was putting it back on. She slowly went from her room down the stairs, and she found the dinning room. Rin and Jaken were sitting down at the table, while Sesshomaru was nowhere to be seen.

"Kagome!" The little girl gasped, "You look like a butterfly!"

"Thank you," said Kagome politely. She sat down next to Rin and smiled at her.

"Sesshomaru-sama said you are going to be Rin's tutor! You will play with Rin right?" asked the curious little girl.

"Yes, I will Rin." She said smiling softly at the little girl, as she wondered about her friends…

Back to Inuyasha's Forest

"Where could Sesshomaru take her? She was always upset about things…is it true that she loves me? That sick monk told me, that Sango told me, and what? That stupid pup told me too… buy she didn't need to go to Sesshomaru! No, she's not that dumb…he must have kidnapped her!" thought Inuyasha… "Why do I feel so…weird, so empty? I have Kikyo…I mustn't feel this way…"

He jumped from one tree to another. He went as fast as he could, trying to shake of the feeling…trying to forget it…trying to ignore it…

What are these emotions?

What am I feeling?

Where are the conclusions?

And why is my heart burning?

"Inuyasha," Kikyo called him.

"Yeah?" asked Inuyasha, and he realized he no longer felt that warm feeling from her. She's very alive, but…he couldn't feel the warmth. Maybe it was because he no longer love her… "No, I mustn't think that way!" he thought to himself again.

"Did you find…Kagome?" asked Kikyo in a fake concerned voice.

"Did you?" asked Sango. The Miroku and Shippo were looking at him, demanding for an answer.

"Feh, Sesshomaru took her." He said…all of them gasped, except for Kikyo.

"He must have took her as a hostage for Tetsusaiga!" said Kikyo smoothly. All of them knew that Tetsusaiga was the must important thing to Inuyasha…and there was no way he'll trade it. Sango picked up Sippo, signaled Miroku to follow her and left. "Inuyasha, what about the wedding, and the basket of food…from another world? Oh, and most of all shouldn't you get ready for the wedding?"

"How can you think of the wedding right now, Kikyo? Doesn't this mean anything to you? Kagome is gone! We can't just go on about a wedding!" shouted Inuyasha, "Right now, we should be thinking of a plan of getting her back! The wedding is off until we rescue Kagome." He said finally and walked away to discuss this with Kaede. Kikyo stared at his back… "Inuyasha shouted at me? The famous Miko, the love of his life? What did that Kagome do to him?" she thought angrily.

At the Castle

Sesshomaru walked in, and every Yokai servant turned to bow. He sat down and the servants began to serve. Everyone began eating.

"Sesshomaru," said Rin, "don't you think Kagome looks like a buttefly?" Sesshomaru looked up from his plate, his eyes traveled to Kagome's, he looked up and down at her.

"Just a little better than before," he said, and went back to eating.

"Was he complimenting me?" Kagome thought as she blushed making her cheeks rosy "I never thought that I'd be alive to hear this." She caught Sesshomaru eyeing her, and quickly looked down, as her cheeks went darker. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, but just so slightly that it was barely seen. Kagome then felt a slight ach in her heart. "Inuyasha," she thought, "will you rescue me? Do you even know that I am gone?"
