Unspoken claims
Authors Note: Sesshie/Kikyou fluff and a little more understanding to why Kagome's like she is, let me know what you think eh? R/R
Kikyou sobbed into Sango's arms as her best friend ran her hands through her thick raven colored hair. Miroku stood quietly distantly staring off as the two girls embraced each other.
"It'll be okay Kikyou-chan" Sango muttered reassuringly.
Kikyou said nothing the tears running down her pale cheeks in a flood, as Sango tried to offer her comfort.
"Would you have said yes?" Sango whispered slightly, causing Kikyou to slowly look up at her, her quiet tears slowly halting as she looked at her.
"Yes…" Kikyou whispered quietly tilting her head down almost in shame, giving off a few hiccups, trying to suppress her tears. Miroku slowly moving over to the bed and taking a seat beside Sango.
"What about Sesshomaru?"
"Sesshomaru-kun, I don't know Miroku-sama" Kikyou said looking at him confused, Sango smiling a bit.
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama!" Sango said excitedly "He likes you! You're the only one he's really nice to Kikyou-chan!"
"I don't know Sango-chan…" 'How could I ever open my heart again, he's Inu-kun's brother…after all.' Kikyou thought as her to friends continued to stare at her sympathetically.
"That has to be incorrect!"
"I'm sorry Inuyasha, sir, but the results are there, I've shown you everything there is no mistake whatsoever!"
Inuyasha sighed as he looked over towards Kagome. He half expected to see a smile of superiority over him, or perhaps some disappointment, but all he saw in her face was a saddened expression. Her face was tilted down to the floor and her hands curled down on the edge of the chair.
"That's okay dr." Inuyasha said letting out a slow sigh standing up and grabbing Kagome's hands pulling her out of the doctor's office. "Okay Kagome you have my attention" Inuyasha said simply trying to hold down her announce. Kagome paused looking at him, her voice barely a whisper "I'm sorry"
"Sorry! Don't you think that's a little late?" Inuyasha nearly screamed, as he looked at Kagome quiver before him.
"I'm sorry!" She shouted even louder diving into his chest, her fists clenching into his shirt. "I never meant to hurt YOU, I never meant for this to happen! None of you understand!" Kagome whispered bearing her head in shirt, crying softly.
Inuyasha paused slightly, taking out the ring from his back pocket and handing it to Kagome a few tears in his eyes, you couldn't see them but you knew they were there.
"I have no choice" Inuyasha said in a bitter whisper, a whisper filled of hurt. Inuyasha took a knee before watching as Kagome stared down before him blankly as he put the ring around her finger.
"Will you marry me Kagome?" Inuyasha said, his bangs covered his eye now, and there was proof of a single tear running down his face. This is not what he had wanted. No, fate was not always generous, but it was fate nonetheless, Inuyasha had given life and now he had to learn to love again, he had to learn that the bad things have reasons as well.
Sesshomaru stood in the distance as he looked towards his brother on his knees of Kagome, shaking his head sadly. "Inuyasha…" Sesshomaru whispered almost bitterly, turning his head away as he walked towards Kikyou's. "I understand"
Kikyou sat on the bed wearing a red skirt, her hair in two buns, staring into the reflection trying to see past her reflection and past the bad, and past everything that had happened. She closed her eyes feeling the cool breeze rush over her, taking her back to another time in another world…
Flashback+
"Do you like Sesshomaru" Kagome questioned slightly walking over towards her sister, her sister blushing slightly.
"Sesshomaru-kun is my friend…I like him very much" Kikyou said looking towards the wind a light breeze blowing past them.
"Yes but do you like like him?" Kagome pressed smiling slightly.
"W-we can't like like anybody yet can we…were only like…5 and no body can like us…" Kikyou muttered slightly Kagome interrupting her.
"Yes we can! Does he look at you that way? With those eyes like he needs you? Does he…" Kagome's voice dropped to a whisper "Does he touch you? Even though you don't want it? "
Kikyou pulled back slightly "Kagome?"
Kagome had gone immensely quiet, and left the room leaving Kikyou alone.
A few minutes later, Kagome had cut herself.

"Kikyou?" Sesshomaru questioned her eyes snapping open as Sesshomaru walked over towards her calmly.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you…"
"It's okay… I was just thinking"
"About?"
"The past that's all…"
"When Kagome cut herself?"
"How did you…"
"I could tell, you had the same look on your face as you did back then…"
"Oh…"
"Just the mere thought of it" Sesshomaru said flinching slightly, "a five year old girl"
Kikyou shivered "Do you remember when we found her?"
"Like yesterday…"
Flashback+
"Sesshomaru! How are you today? Kikyou's in the living room"
"Thanks Mrs. Higurashi"
"Kikyou!"
"Hey Sesshie, what's up?" Kikyou said giving him a nervous smile as he took a seat beside her on the living room floor.
"What's wrong?"
"Kagome was kinda sad earlier, she was speaking strangely then she just left" Kikyou said smiling weakly.
"It's okay, she's probably just sulking, and you wanna go check on her?" Sesshomaru said smartly being only a year older a mere 6 year old with high intelligence.
"You're so smart" Kikyou said smiling as Sesshomaru helped her up.
The two trotted down the hall hand in hand as they approached Kikyou/Kagome's room. "Kagome, Sesshomaru's here, are you okay?" Kikyou asked opening the door slowly.
A five year old Kagome, stood on the floor, turning slowly a kitchen knife at hand, tears running down her face yet a smile still there. Her wrist was bleeding and there was a small puddle under the floor.
"I don't like it Kikyou" she whispered. "I don't like it, I had to get rid of it…I had to….you understand don't you sis? Don't you understand?" Kagome said.
Time had seemed to stop for Kikyou. Her face was pale, her eyes filled with fear and confusion. Her mouth parted as to scream for help and before she knew it she was limp in Sesshomaru's arms. Sesshomaru had managed to stop her, and get her help…and everything managed to turn out okay.
Kikyou never talked about it. Kagome never said why. Sesshomaru never mentioned it. And Mrs. Higurashi pretended it never happened.

"She was only 5" Kikyou said softly.
Sesshomaru gave off a low sigh, "yea…who woulda thought she woulda thought of that?" Sesshomaru slowly wrapped a comforting arm around Kikyou's shoulders holding her against his firm chest.
"Maybe…it's time we find out what Kagome was thinking….Maybe it's time to see who Kagome was BEFORE she was a slut."
Kikyou managed a small nod, "Maybe there's more to Kagome then we've ever known…"
"Maybe there's more to us then we've ever known…"
"Sesshomaru-kun"
"So that's it….the doctor… "
"Yes Inuyasha….the doctor…was the one who raped me."
Authors Note: So there's the secret Kagome was raped when she was 5 by the doctor who I have not revealed the name (haha so evil)) Well I'm sure you'll get a kick out of who it is, but other then that, Sesshomaru will announce his love on Kikyou and well we will see. o R/R
