Demon Tenshi: Thank you to all those people that reviewed…minna arigatou!! (Thank you everyone!)
The only thing is…I am scared now, really scared. Because everyone seems to be getting all confuse… Some thinks that I should make it a SessKag and some said I should make it InuKag, well to tell you…nearly the whole FanFic is about finish in my computer, I am just re reading them and making them give much more sense in it… So this story is well, I am not sure how is going to end, but of course it is going to be SessKag and I won't let Inuyasha suffer (too much) and hell, I won't let Inuyasha fall for that piece of garbage (Kikyou)… Just bare with me…please?
And to tell you, I don't whom Inuyasha is going to be with, but definitely not Kikyou!
The First Love: CH 5: Unforgettable Friend & Kiss
After Kagome and Sesshoumaru arrived at the castle. Kagome went straight to the room that was told by Sesshoumaru that she had to stay in. Afterwards she went straight to have a bath.
Now as she lay in the water, she could only relax. It had been a long day and she didn't want to admit this but why not? It had been an interesting day... It was not like the stoic Demon Lord would know that she thought of it, right? "I am so tired. I knew this was a good idea."
Letting her head lean against the side of the hot spring, Kagome let her mind wander to all the things that has occurred. For first thing in her mind is what to do in the next 5 days, for she knew that the demon lord would probably want her to be stuck in the castle. But as she thought about it, she had done all her exams and a little break away from Inuyasha would be nice, but now.... it felt as though she was forgetting something. What could it be? 'What date is it today...?' She asked in a thought.
What could she be forgetting today? She was sure it was probably either Wednesday or Thursday... But as she her mind was set on days... Kagome's head snapped up. Birthday! Her mind screamed. It was her little brother's birthday the day after tomorrow - Souta's birthday. She knew she promised him about his birthday this year; it was because this year he is turning the age of 13. She couldn't miss that, could she? Of course she couldn't. She have already missed out on his last two years birthday and only given him gifts, well this year would have to be different...she could still remember promising that to herself.
Standing up quickly, Kagome let herself out off the hot spring. She wouldn't even dare try to miss it this time. "I have to tell him." Grabbing the towel, fisting her hand in it tightly, she started to dry herself quickly. After quickly drying herself and getting some kimono the servant had told her to wear, Kagome slid open the door only to be met with a servant bowing.
"Lady, our Lord Sesshoumaru said that you will meet him at dinner tonight." The servant gave Kagome a smile and left. Kagome couldn't wait for dinner. She had to find him...now. Her facial expression changed into determination. She just didn't care she would and will found him and she doesn't she'll just try to get use to this horrible but beautiful castle. She looked out the little window near by and saw that by the way the sun was setting that it was about the time of 5 pm. Fisting her hand to the side, Kagome started to walk with determination of finding that demon Lord.
Sesshoumaru was in his castle all right, but he was in his secret place. It was the place that was hidden from everyone, only he knew of this place. The others that built it were now dead. This place had everything, a room, some place to bath in and everything you will need to be alone for a few days.
He was just in a room filled with books, reading a book, about humans. He didn't know why he was reading this but he needed to know about this emotion called "LOVE" he heard the human miko Kagome said it to him. 'I love you...' He heard of those words being said to one person to another and as the words are said, he also knew it to make them happy. He simply wanted to know, because he knew that most females would love to hear those words coming out of there mate's lips. But he wasn't sure if he was ever going to say those words and he wasn't actually sure if anyone would say those to him as well.
The human miko only said it because she was under some spell, and he had to admit it, he really like the way she smells of sakura blossoms and vanilla. And he had to admit he really did like the kiss, but it was just a kiss and nothing more. He never had to kiss anyone or anyone kiss him that way, maybe the females that he would take to his bed would like to be kiss that way, but he never give them the pleasure...they was simply no point. Surely he had to kiss his mother when he was young. He had to be sometimes polite to other youkai females that are royalty in some way; by kissing their hand and he didn't like it - it made him look low.
He had been trying his best to not think of humans in his mind. They are low pathetic creatures, why should he waste his time thinking about what one of them said to him? A miko at that? 'Dinner should be ready soon.' Taking his mind off the subject of love and kisses, he went up from his secret passageway in his room. He then heard a knock in his room. It was one of the servants this time it was a male. "Lord Sesshoumaru dinner is ready. Rin and the woman will also be there. I am leaving...to get the human woman."
Kagome heard someone on the other side of the door knocked. "Lady, dinner is ready, I will take you to the place now." She heard the guys voice it was familiar somehow. But then, what are the chances she knows whom this guy was he sounds youkai and probably hated her kind.
She walked towards the door and opens it. She smiled and said "Thank you. What is your --" She look up at him and recognises his face. It was her friend...Kai. Kagome let a looked of pure amazement cross her face.
Kai is a fire inu-youkai, he and Kagome met a year ago. She never told Inuyasha about him, he was different from most youkais she has ever met. The youkai looked at her and smile, at first he was quiet and then he said. "Hello, Kagome."
----FLASHBACK----
Kagome was really tired, so she decided to return to her world. Sneaking out of the camp, so she wouldn't get into another fight with Inuyasha. She slips out of her sleeping bag.
She was walking towards where the well is, she was glad that Inuyasha didn't notice her. She kept walking and then found an injured youkai, she ran towards the injured youkai. "Are you alright?" she asked.
He looks up at her. He only saw so little and thought she was just another enemy and releases some of his fire breath. Kagome backed away. "He thinks I'm an enemy. I can't leave like this." She looked around and saw an empty cave. "There!" She cast out a spell over him and made him go to sleep.
She carried him under the cave and started to heal his wounds. "Poor guy," she said. Kagome waited all night and started a fire. She then turned towards the sleeping youkai. He had blue hair, two blue stripes on each of his cheeks and he was sleeping like an angel. Looking at the angel with her, she then felt something stings her left leg. She turned her head to find two cuts on her leg. 'He caused this... oh well... he didn't mean it.' She started to try and heal it but then saw it wouldn't heal at all. It wouldn't even stop bleeding.
The guy woke up and looks up to find Kagome. "Who... are you?" He asked as he tries to sit up.
"Oh!!" Kagome was a little shocked. "You were injured and I decided to help you."
He looked at the girl with his blue eyes only to see her blue shining orbs looking back with the look of concern in them. "You healed me? How did you manage to do it that fast?"
Kagome looked at him in the eyes. "Well... you see. I'm a miko." She then turned to look at his right arm. "You have a shard. On your right arm."
His mouth opened in amazement. "How did you find out; it's inside my body."
"I can sense them. I'm the reincarnation of the Shikon no Tama's protector."
"I see..." He glared at her only to find her left leg has two cuts, no doubt it was from his claws when he thought that she was an enemy. He looks at the miko who was trying to heal it. "That won't work."
"Oh... don't worry. It should stop bleeding soon."
"It won't unless..." He then turned his head away; Kagome look at him puzzled of what he was going to say.
"Unless...?" She finally said.
"Forgive me... I have to do this." He grabs her wrist and got closer to her face and closer. When he was close enough he kissed her. She was just looking at him when she felt his lips against her, his tongue shoving its way through her lips leaving some of his saliva. She was shocked, but then soon realised what he was really doing.
He was healing her. It was her first kiss. But then, he was just healing her. So, Kagome never concern it to be that way, but it is still her first kiss. After a while he pulled away. "There. It should heal."
"Thank you." She smiled at him.
"No.... thank you." He smiled. He has a very gentle voice and also sounds like a gentleman. "My name is Kai. And yours is?"
Kagome look at him. "My name is Kagome."
"Well... Kagome. Where were you going so I can take you there." He said.
"I was going to the Bone Eater's well. Would you really take me there?"
"Yes."
He picks her up bridal style. She loved it; he has such a gentle grip. He then arrived at the Bone Eaters Well. "Is this the place?" He asked.
"Yes, thank you. I guess this is goodbye?" She asked sadly knowing that they'll probably never meet again.
"Kagome... Can I meet you at the cave again?" He asked with a hopeful face.
"Really!?" Kagome said happily. He nods and blushes. "Ok... How about next full moon?" She suggested this, since she knew Inuyasha wouldn't be able to smell him on her or find her easily.
"OK... I hope we become good friends." With that he left.
Kagome was left looking at his back jumping higher and higher.
End of Flashback
"Kai? Is that really you?" She asked with a surprise look.
"Yes. Kagome it's nice to see you." He said and kisses the back of her right hand.
"Still, the gentlemen, I see..." She said trying to sound happy. Kagome walk out of the room and they continue to talk while walking to their destination.
"Only to you Kagome. Well. What are you doing here? Not to be rude or anything for asking?" He asked. 'What would Kagome be doing here? Here with Sesshoumaru.' He thinks. "I simply am trying to gain money for myself. And also try to live a normal life." he added.
"I'm here as a guest, I guess. You know how I told you about Inuyasha?" He nodded. "Inuyasha is his half brother, but they don't like each other well... so please don't tell him that I told you, ok? And Inuyasha doesn't know about our friendship at all." He just nodded.
'She still hasn't told anybody.' Kai was really sad but really happy. He was again talking to the only woman he has ever fallen in love with. He had to change the conversation. "Kagome..."
"Yes... Kai." She turned towards his face as they continue to walk.
"I missed you, you know that right? And what I said before I still mean it. Until now Kagome... I---" Kai was then interrupted by Kagome.
"Please..." Kagome said sadly. She then remembers that 'night'.
FLASHBACK
"Kagome...?" Kai asked as he and Kagome were sitting on a rock looking up at the full moon.
"Yes...?" She said softly.
"We have been seeing each other and we know each other very well right? I mean we have seen and talk to each other a lot the past year right?" He was trying to get to the point but needs to make her understand first.
"I guess. You are like one of my best's friends. But it's a shame how I have to hide your friendship from everyone." She said sadly.
"I understand. But Kagome I want you and I to be more than friends. I love you, Kagome." Kagome look at him straight in the eyes with shocked in her face. But he continued. "I wanted you to know that, I don't know when but you have been there a lot of times, you are my saviour. You have taught me so many things. I can't stand the thought of that Inuyasha guy choosing 'her' over you and I don't see the point. But I wanted you to know that I will always be here waiting for you. I will do anything. I --"
"Kai..." Kagome interrupted him again but he continued.
"I can't stand it anymore, please I will wait, I love you and if you ever need me I will be here. But now I can't keep bothering you... I will go and if you ever return my feelings I will be here for you. You are my first love." With that he stood up, look at her straight in the eyes and smiles at her softly. She was full of tears on her face.
"I'm sorry..." She said.
"It's ok..." He went closer to his face and kissed her passionately. Kagome didn't pull away because she knew he was just saying his farewell and she knew that he has accepted it. After the kiss, he smiled warmly down at her and ran away as fast a he could. That was her first real kiss and would stay with her...because he was a friend.
Kagome just sat there crying. 'Why can't I return his love?' Kai was like an angel that always wanted to be there for her. Yet, she couldn't return his feelings. She just couldn't see him as something more and it made her feel stupid for not doing so.
---END OF FLASHBACK---
That night was the last time she saw him. "Kagome?" A tear fell from her left eye and she wiped it away as soon as possible. She heard his voice. "Kagome we are here." He said still with that gentleman tone. "Lord Sesshoumaru is waiting." He said. "Don't let him eat you ok?" He whispered playfully placing his lips near her ears.
She coulnd't help but gigle, Sesshoumaru wouldn't even think of eating her, more like feeding her to the dogs, wait, he was a dog. She then notice that Sesshoumaru was looking straight at them with his deadly looks. Turning hereyes away from Sesshoumaru she lookedat Kai, smiledand then headed towards Sesshoumaru. "Good evening." She said in a sweet tone as she sat down.
He was just told that dinner was ready and as soon as he arrives at the dinner place for eating, expecting to find Kagome. He saw Kagome wipe her face from a tear and smiled warmly at a guy he had hired to be one of his generals. And then Sesshoumaru saw her giggled. And then look at him as if he was bothering them. He then saw her walk towards him and said. "Good evening."
"I trust you made yourself comfortable?" He asked sitting down.
"Yes... And I met an old friend here as well." Kagome said, this time much more cheerfully than she thought. What could she say; she was happy that she saw her old friend Kai.
Did Sesshoumaru hear it right? Did she just say that she met an old friend? 'Does she mean him.'? He looked straight at Kai who was leaving. If that was true, then would that friend be really Kai? Sesshoumaru thought that Kai had never really care for humans, but maybe this human here has done something to him... "Who is this friend that you met?" He asked knowing the answer.
"Him... We er... yeah. Were friends!" She didn't know what to say, should she tell him? It was not like he would really care and go on blabbing to Inuyasha about it, so why should she risked her life and lie? "His name is Kai. I think he works here.... or something?"
"Yes. Kai. He is one of my guards to protect the castle. How did you get to know him?" Sesshoumaru then took some food in his mouth.
Thinking that she may as well tell him the truth, "We met when he was injured and I healed him a couple of years ago. And we kept in touch after that. But then I haven't seen him for over a year now, until this day of course." Kagome said going through different moods. "Hey! This food is great!" She took a bite on something she didn't know, but it was yummy. She also said this to take the subject off.
'She is not lying, I can't smell any deceive.' He then looks towards the eating Kagome.
When Kagome was eating she then remembered something. She remembered.'I'm here stuffing my face with food while Sota's birthday is arriving!' Kagome then stop eating feeling horrible inside. She looks towards the arriving Rin. "Kagome!!! Rin misses you!!" Rin ran up to her gave her a hug. Then started to eat. She then started to talk to Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru sama!! Rin had fun today! I put flowers on Jaken's hair and the side of Jaken's ear!! Jaken looks better!" Kagome was not focusing on what Rin was saying. She was in her own world imagining a sad Souta.
What kind of sister would she be if she just sat here and ate? Shefrozed, as she stared at Sesshoumaru, waiting for a chance to interrupt him. And soon enough Sesshoumaru looked back at her sad looking face.
"What is it?" He asked in a calm voice, he knew something was wrong.
Not knowing how to start, Kagome mentally patted and then mentally smacked herself on the head for being so stupid to not know how to start. She should have known that he would feel her tensed aura. "Lord Sesshoumaru? Can I please leave the castle after ummm.... dinner?" She watched as mouth disposition itself to make a little frown. God, how could she say it that way? Did she really want to die? "I have an excuse!" She said very fast afterwards.
Trying to not growl and stay calm, Sesshoumaru lifted his face up, glaring at her. "Tell me, miko?" He was now curious what could be so important that she has to leave.
"Ok... Lets start. The day after tomorrow, it is the birthday of umm... my little brother. His name is Souta. I haven't been there in his last two birthdays because I HAD to hunt for the shards." She said, as she lowered her head. Was that a good enough reason for him? Maybe she would need more.
"Birthdays?" He said, repeating the word. He thinks he has heard of it. It is when humans are considered to mature older. It is a special time for humans. "Why do you have to be there this time? Did your brother command you to be there?"
"No.... I just really, really want to be there for him. He is turning 13 and in my ti---" Kagome put her hands on her mouth stopping herself from speaking further. She mentally thought she died, as she just reminded herself that she just nearly told Sesshoumaru of her secret. She wouldn't even want to think of what he would do or say...if he finds out that she is from another time.
Seeing her antics, Sesshoumaru let his chopsticks drop, as he stared at her. "Keep speaking, miko." He ordered.
Trying her best to forget her almost big mistake, Kagome kept speaking. "Well... with humans turning the age of 13 is very special, it is a time when you are considered to be a teenager. So it is very, very special and I promised him that I'd be there. And I am his family member I'm supposed to be there." Kagome said this time more polite and careful with the words she says.
"This Sesshoumaru never heard anything so special about the age of 13. Or any of this tin-anger stuff." He could tell by her scent that she wasn't lying, but he could also tell that she wasn't telling him the whole entire truth. He let his frown grow; he wasn't going to let her get away with that.
Thinking that he didn't exactly said no or yes, Kagome looked up at him with hope. "Can I go then?" She asked, as she smiled hopefully.
He turned his head away from her gaze so he would not see her disappointment when he said no. "I did not say yes human. You are not telling this Sesshoumaru everything,"
"Sesshoumaru you don't understand--"
Seeing that she will right now, not give up. "Fine we will talk about this later." He said, as he gave one of his death glares, that is simply saying 'enough'.
Kagome got the hint and kept eating still very disturb. This was really stupid... She needed to tell him the truth, but would he even believe her? She knew that Sesshoumaru didn't particularly like humans and say, "Of course I believe you, Kagome Higurashi, I believe you with all my heart." Hell no, he'll probably jump at her and start choking her to death. But as she glanced up at his stoic face, she couldn't help but think. Maybe he won't actually do that, but she just knew he would growl at her. What is it with growling dogs? Maybe it was one way they communicate, and then she too should start growling, right? Kagome immediately, mentally kicked herself for even thinking of growling at Sesshoumaru. If she did that,thenhe would really kill her.
After dinner Sesshoumaru took Kagome to a room, it seems to have some futons to sit on. Kagome looked at the beautiful room and sat down on one of the futons. Sesshoumaru sat down on the other futon. For a little while there was only silence. Then Sesshoumaru broke it by speaking. "Now, miko explain everything." He said while he studied her face. Watching as her disturb face change to nervous and then back to trying to be serious.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, there are many things you do not know about me. You see I came from a different time. I know you might think its crazy, but you know the Bone Eaters Well?" Kagome stop to look at him and watched as Sesshoumaru nodded yes. "It is like a Time portal thing, from my time to yours. I am from the future, 500 years to my estimation. And in my time when people turn the age of thirteen, it means that they are becoming Teenagers. And being a teenager is the meaning of something new in your life. I don't exactly know why but yeah." She said, agreeing to her that she did in fact did explain it well.
Sesshoumaru looked at her and smelled her scent to see if she was lying, but no she wasn't. If she really was from the future, then he, Sesshoumaru should get the privilege of seeing it. He didn't particularly would want to stay there; he just wanted to see it. And if she were indeed lying, then he would be able to tell if she denied him his privilege. "Human... I will allow you to visit."
Kagome smiled, she actually thought that he might want to visit her time with her, but it would seem that he will let her go through with this, without having him as her problem to explain to her family members.
"On one condition..." His lips were itching to curve upwards as he saw her stiffen at the mention of conditions. "I must come along with you." He couldn't help but let one side of his lips curve upwards so very little, as he saw her form start to panicky at the realisation of his words.
She quickly tries to make a way out. "Sesshoumaru... One problem with that is that Inuyasha and I, are the only ones who are capable of going through the well." Kagome could see it now, he was frowning and she knew she was in it for a growl at least. Well he thought she was.
Sesshoumaru frowned, holding back a growl. "Wench... If my stupid half breed brother, can get through, why not me?" He asked, trying his best not to show her that he was actually a little insulted. It wasn't everyday that he finds out that his stupid impotent, half brother could do something, he Sesshoumaru could not.
"I don't exactly know why?" She again gave him a dumb look for an excuse.
"I WILL go through..." He said looking a little bit more deadly by the second.
"Fine..." Kagome then thought of something, if he was going to be stubborn and tried to go through the well, maybe the well won't accept him and she will just have to say that as an excuse and he won't get mad at her. He can't get mad at her because the well won't let him in, that isn't her fault. And maybe, if he will be able to go through the well, she also thought that maybe she should tell him little about the future. "But I must tell you, in my world, there aren't any youkais left. Maybe there are but... they don't show up anymore. In my time there are mere legends."
Hearing that most likely incorrect words, Sesshoumaru turned his head to the side. "That cannot be true. And you are saying that mere HUMANS still live?" Kagome nodded yes. "This Sesshoumaru how wrong you are when we arrived there."
Kagome frowned. "So when do we leave this place?"
Closing his eyes and opening them, he stared blankly at the floor, "Now..." He stood up and started to walk away. Kagome followed him. 'Its middle of the night, I think it should be uhhh.... 9 pm oh well. The jerk wants to leave.' Kagome let a sigh escape her lips, as she looked at his back that was turned to her.
That night Sesshoumaru and Kagome left the castle. Jaken was told to take care of Rin, but what they didn't know is that someone was following them.
"Kagome... Are you really going to let him?" Kai whispered as he followed Kagome and Sesshoumaru on a cloud. He knew were they were going and why they would go there. He knew where exactly Kagome came from. It was one of the other reason he loves Kagome.
He knew one thing - he would follow them. Kagome was his friend and his only love...so he would do anything to protect her, even if he had to lose his job.
END OF CHAPTER 5: Three Memories: The First Love
Demon Tenshi: I know a very boring chapter…but sometimes it can't be help. Sesshoumaru's wall of mental defence surrounds him…he simply won't let Kagome in. In drama terms…he is blocking her. Oh and again, I am sorry if I made many grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes, it can't be helped… (-.-) But I hope you people still review…it gives me the strength to go on. Anyway…see ya!!
