Chapter three:
Bring me to Life
Katsumi woke Kagome up around 8:30, to tell her breakfast was almost ready. But Kagome being herself didn't get out of bed until 8:40. Kagome dressed in a black kimono with silver sakura petals.
She followed Katsumi into the huge dining hall, where she saw Rin and Jaken sitting down. Sesshomaru had yet to enter.
Kagome took a seat next to Rin. It went like this: Rin and Kagome on the left side, Jaken on the other, and Sesshomaru by himself at the end of the table near Rin.
Rin smiled at Kagome. "Hello pretty Lady! Rin's name is Rin! What's your name?" She asked in a childish tone. Kagome smiled a bit and said, "Hello Rin, my name is Kagome." "Lord Sesshomaru said you will take care of Rin now! Is that true?" He voice, filled with happiness and hope. 'She reminds me of me when I was younger…' Kagome thought. "Yes Rin. I will be."
Rin smiled and said, "YAY!" Just then, Sesshomaru appeared into the room. "Good Morning Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin said happily. "Good morning Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome greeted quietly, through a forced smile. He nodded and said, "Good morning." (A/n: GASP! TOTAL OOC!)
After that, Rin and Kagome finished eating and they headed out to the castle's garden. Kagome watched as Rin ran around in circles and picking flowers. Kagome was lost in her thoughts, when Rin came running towards her. Rin stuck a rose in front of Kagome's face. "Huh?"
Rin smiled. "Rin thought Kagome nee-chan would like a flower!" She said happily. Kagome smiled and took it. "Thank you Rin. Here." She took an iris from the garden and placed it behind her right ear. "Here you go Rin." Kagome said her voice quiet. Rin smiled. "Thank you Kagome-chan!"
Rin ran around the garden and played with Kagome. Kagome taught Rin some hand games and such until it was lunch.
The rest of the day went by fast, soon it was after dinner and everyone headed out to their rooms. Kagome went straight into her room and did a belly flop to her bed. 'Do the others even care if I'm gone?' she thought as she hugged her pillow to her chest. Her eyes, were shut as silent tears poured through her eyes as she remembered the pain Sango and Inuyasha caused her. She picked up the razor that was innocently in her bag and cut her wound, wincing, she held the razor and cut in the same place 3 more times.
'There wasn't as much pain the times I've seen Inuyasha and the clay pot together.' She tried to think. But her mind just seemed to stop thinking when all the images of him hurting her. Letting out a small scowl, she sadly picked up her tissue and wiped all the blood away. 'I can't let Sesshomaru see this. He may get curious and find out.' She thought as she searched her yellow bag for something. She finally found two arm warmers (A/n: Why does she have one? Well, they just appeared outta the endless yellow bag) and placed them on her hands. (A/n: The kimono is short sleeved by the way.)
Kagome stood up and walked over to the other side of the room. She saw the blood red curtains, and she walked over to them. She pulled them apart, revealing a patio; the floor was cobble stone and plants filling the sides. She climbed out the window and stood at the patio, not knowing someone else was there.
(A/n: ah, now let's take a look at the others shall we?)
With Inuyasha, Shippo, Kirara, Sango and Miroku…
The gang had left, knowing Kagome had run away. 'Damn wench, just running off like that, and then having the damned rain fall, covering your scent. We'll find you Kagome. We still need to collect the shards of the jewel.' Inuyasha thought bitterly.
Miroku had refused to talk with Sango or Inuyasha unless necessary. They were in the middle of the forest, trying to look for more Shikon shards, each lost in their own thoughts.
Inuyasha and Sango in front, along with Kirara, Miroku and Shippo in the back. "I miss Kagome." Shippo stated in thought. Miroku sighed. The group was falling apart a bit more, day by day without Kagome. Not since that dreaded day. Even if it has been three or four days, it seemed like it was years since they were all happy. Miroku looked at the setting sun, a breeze flowing through, his dark brown hair, flowing through the wind, a sigh once again escaped a long sigh. He missed Kagome, the girl who was practically a sister to them all.
He missed the old days, thinking back to when they were all happy once more, he suddenly snapped back into reality, realizing it was the night of the new moon, Miroku called out in a warning voice to the two people up ahead, "Inuyasha. We must prepare camp. It is almost nightfall and tonight is the new moon."
Everyone stopped and found a place to make camp in silence.
With Kagome…
Kagome looked up with her eyes, nightfall was coming. The blanket of darkness with stars slowly covering the sky, Kagome realized that there was a new moon. Suddenly, she thought of something…no someone… 'Inuyasha is human tonight; I wonder how he's doing.'
A sudden breeze caught Kagome off guard, and then a voice said, "Enjoying the sight, miko?" Confused, Kagome turned around to see Sesshomaru standing behind her, his cold amber eyes gazing into her own chocolate eyes. "You are thinking of my little brother." He stated his voice low and calm.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb.
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home.
She stared at him, her breath caught into her throat. She loved Inuyasha, but she has recently started to have feelings for Sesshomaru. He seemed to put her in place, and it opened her eyes. It was like he can read her very thought, very emotion. But she had yet to wake up and face reality. She had not known, she never woken up, that her life with Inuyasha was a lie. It wasn't true.
wake me up
wake me up inside,
I can't wake up
wake me up inside,
save me
call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up
bid my blood to run,
I can't wake up
before I come undone.
Save me
save me from the nothing I've become.
It seemed to them, an eternity passed. But it was only a few seconds. Somehow, they were close to each other and Kagome noticed. 'I…I think I'm falling for him….and hard.' Kagome thought.
Sesshomaru thought, 'I think I'm starting to fall in love with Kagome. It just cannot be.'
'You are…in love with her.' His inner thoughts told him
'Screw you.'
'I'm you! I, unlike my other side, have feelings.'
'Damn you…'
'You are in love with Kagome, and she's in love with you.'
They just stood in front of each other, lost in their gazes. 'Sesshomaru, I love you, and I feel like I need to be with you.' Kagome thought. The space was getting thinner between them.
Now that I know what I'm without,
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.
'I don't think I can live without you…' they both thought.
wake me up
wake me up inside,
I can't wake up
wake me up inside,
save me
call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up
bid my blood to run,
I can't wake up
before I come undone.
Save me
save me from the nothing I've become.
Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie.
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life
Time began to freeze, as they got closer together. Suddenly, Kagome's lips touched Sesshomaru's. They shared a kiss. Their first kiss.
When they pulled apart, everything seemed different, yet, everything looked the same.
Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling,
only you are the life among the dead.
"Sesshomaru…" Kagome breathed, she realized that they were hugging. A blush crept up to her cheeks. Sesshomaru didn't notice, but gave a small smirk. "Kagome…" He whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. He kissed her again, but this time she returned it.
All this time, i can't believe I couldn't see,
kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me.
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems.
Got to open my eyes to everything.
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul,
don't let me die here.
There must be something more,
bring me to life.
What seemed like forever, they pulled apart, and stared deeply in each other's eyes.
wake me up
wake me up inside,
I can't wake up
wake me up inside,
save me
call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up
bid my blood to run,
I can't wake up
before I come undone.
Save me
save me from the nothing I've become.
Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie.
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.
And they fell in love. Kagome felt more alive, Inuyasha and Sango's little show no longer pained her, but she didn't feel dead. Finally, Sesshomaru turned away, and walked back to his room, mumbling a small goodnight.
He lay down on his bed, pulling his silk sheets up, and he sighed. It seems the ice around his heart was melting…
Kagome walked back to her room, a minute or two after Sesshomaru did. Millions of questions popped into her mind at once, as she sat down on her bed. 'So I guess that's it…I'm over Inuyasha, but I am in love with Sesshomaru…' She thought, finally falling into a blissful sleep.
