Authors note: Hello my readers! YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO READ! YOU ARE NOT RESPONDING IN A WAY THAT IS HELPING! Not that I don't appreciate your praise, but still… you need to tell me what you want me to write about! (Visit the authors' note on my last two chaps.)
Oh, and to answer your question 1kenshinlover, I believe that with Kagome's heart, they could most certainly have a chance, as for your other question about the series… I'm afraid you'll have to wait because the ending of the series is not yet made in English, ONLY JAPANISE! AND SINCE MY MOTHER REFUSES TO BUY ME ANYTHING IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE I'M AFRAID YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT ON YOUR OWN… DAMN IT TO HELL AND BACK!... Ok… better now.
I hope that cleared things up a bit. Tell me what you little green people want from me! Oh, and just so you know Li Yeung, little green people are the people who live inside my head and tell me to do bad things… anyway, also thanks to Crutches the Magic Hippie, who has given me some useful constructive criticism, (Though not all of it was appreciated…) ok, hear is another chapter!
Chapter: 6
After Kagome stepped outside with Rin, Sesshomaru decided now was the perfect time to get some work done. He sat down at his desk and stared down at his paper work, then, stared out the window, and saw a perfect cloudless day. Then, he heard giggles. He walked over to his window, and looked out to his garden ware Rin was playing tag with Kagome, who was up a tree, and sticking her tongue out at Rin. He had to smile at this; after all, his heart was indeed melting under the intense warmness of the miko.
Outside, Kagome was up her tree, teasing Rin. "Come down! That isn't fair!" Giggled a happy Rin. "Well! I have never been so insulted in my life! How dare you accuse me of not playing fair!" Kagome said with fake anger, then she leaped from her tree, soaring over Rin's head, landed smoothly on the ground, and then continued the chase around the garden.
After what seemed like hours, Sesshomaru stepped out of his castle to call the two exhausted girls in for dinner. "Come now both of you! We have company tonight and you two need to dress!" He said with an annoyed tone. "Is it them icky old lords and their ladies? Their so stuck up lord Sesshomaru, Rin don't like them." Rin pouted. "Me either." He grumbled as he went inside.
"Wait, Sesshomaru!" He turned and looked at her with an eyebrow raised. " What is it Kagome?" He said with a questionable look upon his face. " You gave me my life back and a place to live, and I think I should give you something, that I took of yours such as your…your … arm" She reached over quickly and grabbed his right shoulder and with a flash of pink light, Sesshomaru felt an immense amount of pain in his right arm but it was gone in a second…when he looked down his arm as there. And with that she turned back to Rin, because words were not needed and Sesshomaru went back into the castle with the most prominate smile he has allowed him self to wear yet.
Kagome scooped up Rin in her arms and carried her to her bedroom. "Oh! This kimono is so cute! You should wear it Rin!" Exclaimed Kagome as she gently pulled a little yellow and gold kimono out of Rin's closet. Rin looked at it with interest and said, " Yes, I think I like it, but I still don't wanna go eat with the nasty lords, they don't pay any attention to Rin." "Well, Rin, I will be there to pay attention to you this time." Rin smiled a very toothy smile at Kagome, and with that down to Kagome's room. In there Kagome pulled on a Black and gold kimono, combed her hair, and all that good stuff.
They quickly made they're way into the dining room, where six royals were chatting and sitting at a very long, very elegant table, which had a great dog demon carved in the center. Before anyone had noticed Kagome and Rin had entered the room, Kagome noticed that Sesshomaru, who was sitting at the end, looked very annoyed, but when he, as well as the others saw that they had entered his facial featured relaxed noticeably. The Lord of the East was sitting next to Sesshomaru, He was a man in his twenty's, Medium length golden blond hair, Bright teal eyes, and Good looking. As Kagome entered the room he felt as if his heart was ready to jump out of his chest and he felt his pant get tight.
Next to him were the lord of the south and his lady. This lord was in his thirties, had sea green short hair, gray eyes, and was heavy set, as he looked at Kagome he just smiled a warm smile. His lady was in her teens, she had purple curly hair that went past her butt, bright baby blue eyes, and she was very quiet. As she looked at Kagome she thought that she was Sesshomaru man so she felt a slight tinge of jealousy and gave a look of the deepest loathing. No one knew it but she would give anything to be Sesshomaru's lady, but he had rejected her so she turned to the second most powerful man she could think of, her current husband.
On the other side of Sesshomaru, and two seats down sat the lord of the North and his lady. He was in his forties, had green eyes, and Dark blue waist length hair. He didn't like Kagome, not because of anything in particular; He just didn't like anyone, not even his wife all that much either. His lady was in her thirties, had long pale pink hair and white eyes. As she looked at Kagome, she was reminded of her late daughter, Hana.
" Ah, Kagome, Rin why don't you come sit down, diner will be served momentarily," says Sesshomaru with intense gratefulness that they were here with him. As they made they're way to their seats, Rin quietly whispered to Kagome "I don't like being here with them, lady Sumie is always mean to Rin." " I know but just be polite a ignore any rude comments or remarks she may make." Kagome whispered back thinking of her son, Shippo, who would always say that Inuyasha was always rude to him.
When they sat down Sesshomaru introduced them to the lord and their ladies " Everyone these two lovely lady's are Kagome and Rin." They all nodded in unison. " Kagome, Rin this Lord Kaemon, lord of the east. Next to him are Lord Yoshida and his Lady Sumie. He rules the south" " Hello." Kagome said ever so sweetly trying to make a good impression towards them. " That's Lord Bunjiro and his Lady Hisako. He's lord of the North." Continued Sesshomaru " Nice to meet you." Kagome replied in the same sweetness.
Just then several servants entered the room holding several platters of food, the servants put the food down in a very particular order. As the servants walked away the lords and ladies served up some food to them selves and conversed upon each other. " Lord Kaemon, How are your lands?" Sesshomaru asked in curiosity " Not so well for as I haven't found a lady to marry, and villagers have been asking for such things I don't have." Replied Lord Kaemon. "How's the weather in the east?" asked Kagome " Its absolutely beautiful just like you" " Um thank you." Kagome said nervously.
On the other side of the table Lady Sumie was talking to Lady Hisako about Kagome: " Do you think that she is Sesshomaru's lady now?" Lady Sumie asked Lady Hisako "I doubt it but still demon lords have chosen mortals to rule by their side in the past, But why do you ask to you like him or something?" " No why did you even think of something so outrageous" Yelled Lady Sumie as her husband tried to play with her hair " I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH MY HAIR YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE THAT" " I like it when people touch my hair "chirped Kagome (both Sesshomaru and lord Kaemon noted that mentally) Kagome sat, eating very slowly because she was nervous as Rin on the other hand was downing her food so she could leave the table. " Rin stop shoveling food in your mouth like that." Kagome whispered so no one else could here her. Rin immediately began eating slowly; taking bites only when Kagome did, and eating what Kagome did, (She was more interested in pleasing Kagome than she was in leaving the table.) "So how is your land, Lord Bunjiro?" Asked Lord Yoshida. " Fairly well, How about you?" The lord replied. "Well I have a problem with the water goddess, she keeps threatening to flood my lands."
"Kagome, have I told you that you are one of the most beautiful Ladies I've seen." Lord Kaemon told Kagome with a smirk on his face. "Thank you Lord Kaemon." She replied. Lord Bunjiro Announces that he would like to have a cup of sake, Sesshomaru said That a cup of sake would taste better outside and that his garden would be the perfect spot. When they reached the garden Kagome and Rin went and played in the moonlight, for Kagome doesn't drink and wouldn't allow Rin to either. " Any alcohol what so ever in my system will make me sick and Rin is far to young to be drinking." Kagome had said before running off to play with Rin.
" Sorry about my outburst in the dining room, I just hate when he touches me like that." Lady Sumie said to Sesshomaru " Um yeah its ok" Sesshomaru replied back as he gazed off watching Kagome toss Rin into the air only to catch her in an motherly embrace. As he watched this he couldn't help but feel as if he were watching his wife and child, He scolded himself for thinking such things, He was demon lord and he refused to take the same path his father did. Lady Sumie was irritated by the fact that he wasn't paying attention to her but to Kagome.
" Sesshomaru are you listening to me," Said a very irritated Lady Sumie. Sesshomaru with a great effort tore his eyes away from Kagome and said " I apologies, did you say something?" " Sesshomaru I don't understand why you refused me when I asked to be your lady." She asked him. " Hey look I didn't take you to be my lady because I think you're a stuck up snob who doesn't like anything or anyone." He replied heavily upset. They continued to argue about that subject for seemed to be forever until Lady Sumie saw Kagome going to the castle. " Sesshomaru I'm going to take Rin to bed for she is getting tired." Kagome said as she picked up Rin and walked toward the castle. " Ok, I'll talk to you later." He said in reply. "Hold on I would like to have a word with you, Kagome." Yelled Lady Sumie from behind Sesshomaru.
When Lady Sumie caught up to her she said, " You better stay away from Sesshomaru, or else I will relieve you of your life." And with that she walked away with her nose high in the air. When Kagome reached Rin's room, which was right below Sesshomaru's room and over looked the garden, Kagome found a sleeping kimono for Rin to wear to sleep. "Rin, Would you like to sleep in this, Darling?" Kagome asked Rin. "Yes, and will Kagome stay with Rin, until Rin falls asleep?" Rin asked with a tired face while pulling the purple sleeping kimono over her head. Kagome tucked Rin into bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She walked over to the window and watched the Lords and their ladies go into the castle to go to bed, But Sesshomaru took off in the opposite direction, out of his garden and toward the woods.
With Rin fast asleep, Kagome was completely curious as to what Sesshomaru was up to so she went to catch up to him. "Sesshomaru, Wait up." She yelled as she opened the doors of the castle. He turned with an aggressive look on his face, but he softened when he saw it was Kagome, and not lady Sumie. "Kagome, why are you still up? I thought you would be fast asleep by now…" He said giving her a questioning look. "I was wondering what you were doing out here all alone." Said Kagome with a concern that Sesshomaru hadn't heard for years… no one had ever cared enough…
"I was just about to go for a much needed run in the woods in my demon animal form … the lords and their ladies… especially lady Sumie, always makes my blood boil." He said. Kagome looked disappointed. "Oh… I'll let you get to it then…" She turned to leave, but Sesshomaru quickly said, "Come with me?" She turned around and said, "I wish desperately that I could but there is also no way I could keep up-" "Oh but you can!" Sesshomaru said, digging in his kimono for something, and then found it.
He held up the most beautiful, but most simple necklace she had ever seen. It was on a long white-gold chain, and had a golden- yellow teardrop shaped stone. "Every person has a hidden animal inside of them, a animal that they can be compared to. Being a Miko, you are able to harness your hidden power and take the form of your inner animal. That inner animal can very well keep up with me, if it is the right kind. But I have noticed that you spend almost all of your time practicing archery, and no time practicing your form taking. I have come to the conclusion you had no idea that you could do such things. This necklace will help you harness your abilities, even if you are out of practice." He added gently, as not to hurt her feelings.
"Really?" She said with a shimmer in her eyes. He nodded to her, and then slipped the necklace over her head. The change began immediately. There is no way to describe what it felt like, except to say that she felt as though ever ounce of her that was unneeded simply was replaced. Every ounce of fat was replaced by three times as much muscle, her bones were placed in a way so that they could be of more use, her easy-to-bruise-and-tear skin was covered with a thick protective coat of orange and black fur, her nails grew long and sharp, her teeth did the same. Her ears grew pointed and sensitive, her eyes grew golden and perceptive, and her clothes melted into her body, saving them for when she turned back, all of it happened at once, and it created a feeling that couldn't be described.
Sesshomaru studied her. " In all my years I've never seen such a cat." He said mentally, channeling his thoughts to her brain. "Wow, this is cool, its like mind reading… anyways, what do I look like!" She thought excitedly. "Giant orange feline with black stripes… vary slender." He said through thoughts "Oh! I must be a tiger! My favorite big cat as a matter of fact!" She thought happily, looking at her clawed and stripped paws "Well, shall we see how fast your feline self is?" She looked up to see a dog demon, about one head taller than her cat form, (Yes, in my story, that is howbig he is in dog form!) white from head to toe, except for a purple crescent moon on his forehead. The longer parts of his fur were curled slightly, and his tail was wrapped around his torso and shoulder.
She smiled mischievously at him, and then took off into the woods. Sesshomaru had no problem catching up to her, but then she put on another burst of speed that sent her at least six feet ahead. They soared over boulders and tree roots, weaved through bushes, tree trunks and other such obstacles. She always stayed ahead of him, but let him close enough for him to almost touch her tail… fireflies illuminated their surroundings splendidly, giving them both an angelic glow. Soon, they were both going at full speed. She was always so close… he could almost feel her tail brush against his face…
Then, for some reason, she slowed down a bit… just enough for him to catch her! Sesshomaru leaped upon her back, causing them to gently tumble down, into a treeless valley. Then, play began. They tumbled together for a moment, and then separated. Kagome leapt at him with a snarl. For a moment, Sesshomaru thought she was angry, but her bite fell deliberately short. She leaped away about twelve feet, and then pawed the ground playfully. Realizing her game, he leaped at her with a swipe of a velvet-covered paw, once again, falling just short of her black nose.
Their play lasted an hour at the least. Play fighting, leaping, running and chasing. For an hour, just one hour, they truly let their souls free. Sesshomaru had no more worries about lady Sumie, Rin or Jaken. No worries about his lordly duties or being lord at all for that matter. All that mattered now was him, Kagome, and their play.
Kagome was also worry free. She had no thought of the traitor Inuyasha, no thought of her suicide attempt or of any of her other sorrows. All that mattered now was that her and Sesshomaru kept playing, for if they left each other, all of the bad thoughts and memories would once again attempt to destroy her.
Then, they stopped. Kagome had missed a step, causing him and her to once again, tumble. The necklace to slip off her neck, and fall into her hand, witch had returned too normal along with the rest of her. She was exhausted, so she lay there on her back, panting deeply, but with a smile. Sesshomaru saw this and turned back into his other form as well. He rested beside her, and looked into her stunning, multi-colored eyes. Kagome shifted so her head lay on his chest
"So, this is what it feels like, to be truly happy." Thought Kagome.
"Yes, it is truly a wonderful feeling isn't it?" Replied Sesshomaru.
" The most wonderful feeling in the world. But we can still hear each other's thoughts. Why?"
"I do not know, and I do not want to question it. My mind and spirit are at complete peace now, and I have no desire to end it so soon." He whispered as he ran his fingers through her raven hair and stared at the full moon. "If only this moment could never end… then everything about everything would be absolutely perfect…" Their minds thought in unison
