Ok guys, I am so glad that ya'll liked the story. I know its weird, but I got the idea from my imagination(and yes a wee bit of star wars) but honestly when I first made the story I didn't know y kagome wore the veil, then it came to me like a month ago and i started writing it again( i had this in my computer for over half a year) so its all awesome and all. I want to reiterate that the story is VERY FAR from over because i have this whole new adventure for everyone. If ne of you read my other story then you know who mioshika is. She is my character who i will put into a few fics as different people because she's awesome. I had this whole original idea for her, and a story written out and everything. Problem is it was written a while back and had alot of plotting flaws so i had to stop writing because nothing made sense. ok i'll stop rambling on about nothing...

p.s i do not do lemons...none no matter how you beg, i cannot write about things i have not experienced...

Inuyasha...I want it...so bad...dang it...

Chp 7

Kagome's lie

Inuyasha slept a quiet sleep, drawn into a dream of pure bliss. Kagome watched him breath in deeply, and exhale slowly. His chest rising and falling with each passing breath of air. She quietly rose up and got out of her pallet. She dawned on her servants robe and her veil. She painted her eyes black on her lids, and drew a black line down her lip. It was the symbol of the people...her people...

Flashback

"I will fulfill my duties lady Kikyo, I will protect him."

"Do not fail me my friend."

"I swear it on my life, I will do it as you wished. He will be protected."

"I trust you, I trust you with my life. Kagome, you must finish the task I set out to finish. Save his shattered soul."

"I will..."

end flashback

Kikyo was more than a leader, she was a savior. She was an amazing woman, she didn't deserve her fate.

Kagome thought about her lie, she felt horrible. Her heart ached with the knowledge of her disgrace...

Kagome walked out of the castle, she went to the secret base...

"Name..."

"Kagome..."

"Symbol..."

"Arrow..."

"Power..."

"Ruler..."

"Enter..."

Kagome walked in through the tunnel. She put a hood over her head to shadow her face, and she put on her veil for extra protection. She removed her robes and put on the council's regular attire. A golden kimono, rimmed with red was her chosen selection. She tied her hair up into a bun, and wrapped a red ribbon around the band. She entered the underground hall to the room. There were several other council people there. Lady Sango, Ambassador Miroku, Lady Kaede, Emperor Sesshomaru, and Emperor Kouga. They were seated around a table, Kagome's seat waited for her. She sat and folded her hands in her lap.

"Empress Kagome..." Kouga bowed to her, Sesshomaru bowed his head, as did the others.

"Good evening. I hope you have all fared well."

"Let us hear about you first. Did Inuyasha believe the...lie that you told him. He doesn't know that Kikyo actually gave you her power, does he? Miroku asked her with a questioned look in his eye.

"Yes he believed me, he doesn't know."

"Kagome, you must know that he can't know until Naraku is destroyed. Our council must continue to be kept a secret, if not...hundreds of thousands of people would perish at Naraku's hands. If Naraku knew Kikyo's secret plans, you would likely perish a more tainted and rapist death than her. She could have fought back but she...

"She died an honorable death, not one of disgrace. You speak of her like she was a betrayer. She was more than anything most of you could ever hope to be. So don't you dare repeat her name like that, like sh was a mere...whore."

"Lady Kagome please sit down. Your sister would be disgraced at your outrageous behavior."

"Kikyo is not my sister."

"She was...don't say things like that. You were raise just like her, except as a servant. Your "brother and mother" were there to help you learn how a servant really lives. You know you are the only surviving member of your blood family. You know that Kikyo was the oldest, and that you would be the back up. You knew that from your 15th birthday. Your now 17, almost 18. Inuyasha was Kikyo intended bethrower, but now he is yours."

"You make it seem like I was forced to love him. I watched Kikyo all my life, watched her in envy. I loved her, but I was terribly envious of her. I've loved him longer than he knows, longer than Kikyo..."

"We know, but you were not meant to be..."

"Well we are! I agreed to marry him!"

The council was shocked. A deathly look spread across the room, terror was the atmosphere of the room.

"Kagome...you know that its too soon...far too soon. You have 3 more years before you were supposed to marry him."

"I don't want my life scheduled anymore, I want to make my own choices. None of you can tell me what to do anymore. And if I have to, I will leave the council. As much as I hate to, I will. Its my life! I want to live it the way I want to!"

"Kagome calm down. Your right, you are old enough to make your own desisions."

"Lady Sango..." Everyone looked to the calm mistress.

"You have more than proven yourself worthy to make your own choices. You may do as you please, but..."

Kagome braced herself...

"You must remember that the people depend on you. You are more than just a normal girl, your the secret empress of your people. Don't fail them..."

Kagome nodded, ready to get out of this place. She wanted to leave...but knew she had to wait...

Inuyasha awoke with a touch of pleasure in his system. He arched his back and stretched, yawning with the effort. He lazily scratched behind his ears, and glanced around the room. He sniffed the air from Kagome's scent...and it wasn't there. She sniffed deeper, taking in the whole room. Kagome left early this morning, very early. Inuyasha closed his eyes and tried to think.

Kagome...not here...where is she...hmmm...kitchen...ya kitchen.

Inuyasha dragged himself out of bed and put on a pair of pants. He forgot his shirt, and slugged to the kitchen for some tea.

Why Kagome in the kitchen...hmmm...sleepy...

Inuyasha felt his eyes close again, he worked to keep his head from falling. He drooped into the kitchen, and poured himself tea. He sipped the hot liquid, and his senses returned to a more normal state. He stood tall now, and leaned against a pole. He scanned the room for signs of life, none.

Why is there tea if no one's here? Why am I getting tea, I don't even like it...Oh yea Kagome's been making me drink it for a healthy immune system or something...Kagome!

Inuyasha sniffed the air. Kagome was here, about 3 hours ago. He jumped out of the kitchen, and ran face first into Kagome.

"Kagome..."

"Inuyasha-sama...'

Kagome looked flustered like she had been running. Her face was pale and fiery with flush. She panted and inhaled deep breaths, and had her hands on her knees. She bent downward, and exhaled.

"What are...you doing...up?"

"I woke up..."

"What...time...is it?"

"A little after 9, or so, why?"

"No...reason...just wondered."

"Where were you?"

Kagome blinked...

"Um..."

"Well..."

"I was at the...bath houses. Yea, the bath houses, I was going to take a bath early this morning, but the wasn't any more clean water, so I had to heat it myself."

"You coulda just used my private one..."

"Never thought of that..."

Kagome smiled behind her veil, and did the anime eye thingy. Inuyasha gave her a confused look but shrugged it off.

"Inuyasha-sama..."

"Shhhhh...I told you no -sama."

He kissed her cheek and she blushed. She held her hands to her lips out of embarrassment. She looked up at him with sweet innocent eyes. He smiled at her, and it made her heart flip. She remembered his lips, the strong, warm, soft lips. Her hand reached out to trace his lips. They were still soft...He embraced her, so tightly. Kagome's gaze was shock and confusion.

"You torment me girl...with you bare touch you torture me. Why do you do that to me?"

Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and rocked him from side to side. She nuzzled her head into his neck, and felt herself becoming a different Kagome. Like a whole person, with no cares in the world, except for Inuyasha.

"I love you Kagome."

Inuyasha held his breath. His heart skipped a beat...

"I love you too Inuyasha."

Inuyasha let out the breath he was holding. He smiled an exasperated smile, and felt like crying out for joy. He lifted Kagome into the air and twirled her around. Her smile was beautiful, even if he couldn't see it. He could imagine it. He set Kagome back down and embraced her. Kagome took his hand and led him down the hallway back to his rooms. Once there he ripped off the veil and went back to his oasis. His Kagome...just as beautiful as before. She smiled as he kissed her, and wrapped her arms around him and tangled her hands in his hair. His strong lips...so soft...

They got lost in the oasis of each other...

a/n Sex is not what they are doing, its like way too soon for that. Sorry but they are just making out.

"Kagome..."

"Who's there..."

"Guess who?"

"Hello Kouga..."

"Your needed at the base."

"I can't come, I'm busy. Get Sesshomaru to sign it."

"Kagome...Its about your half breed."

Kagome's eyes widened and she grabbed Kouga by the collar.

"Its about that night at the ball. The shadow guy who took you into another world. His name is Shomoko. He has the powers of controlling the shadow versions of people. He used to be in an alliance with Kikyo. But he betrayed her by telling Naraku her plans before she could carry them out. He's one of the reasons she's dead..."

Kagome took in the information about her sister carefully. She realized why Inuyasha called him betrayer...

flash back

"Your the bastard...The one who betrayed her, who spread her secret like wildfire. You cheated her out of her own life, you backstabbing bastard!"

end flashback

"Kikyo intended to use her miko powers to kill him. At the time it was a secret. But once he found out, he cheated out on her and made and alliance with Naraku. He told him about Kikyo's secret...the one card she had Naraku didn't know about."

Kagome clenched her hands together. Her hands glowed with miko power, and her aura was tainted with rage. Kagome ground her teeth and scowled.

"The bastard...he killed my sister..."

"He's out to kill Inuyasha, and is powerful enough to do it. You have to protect him if you want him to live."

Kouga leaped out the window and headed back to the base. Kagome fell to the ground and cried.

I won't let him hurt you Inuyasha, I won't let you be take away from me like Kikyo...Big sister forgive me...I thought...I never knew it was him...I didn't know.

Kagome sat curled on the floor crying for her lost sister and her love...former lovers. Torn apart, it wasn't fair to them. It wasnt fair to anyone, but It didn't matter. Kagome was going to be strong for Kikyo, for Inuyasha...For her people...

0-0-0-0-0-0-!So did you guys like the chapter? I know i gave ya'll a curve ball there. But Kikyo was always Kagome's sister, you guys just didn't know it. Kagome served her to keep hidden.
