CH.20

Reishi

I watched my friend as she slept thinking how much I had come to care for her. I had wanted her before but now that want had turned to love.

I slide my hand through her silky dark hair, knowing when she awoke I had to hide these feelings of love. I could feel her heart beat start to pick as her eyes started to open.

Kagome

I closed my eyes trying to block out the light that seemed so bright. I knew Reishi was near by me as his scent came to me. The scent of power not near like that of my mate but power none the less.

That was when everything came back to me and I jumped out of the bed I was currently lying in.

" Sesshoumaru, where is he?"

" Kagome calm down, Inuyasha and the others are with Jaken now they will find out answer. I promise you Kagome we will find your mate."

I felt tears start to form and I whip them quickly away, knowing my tears meant nothing they could not help me find my mate. I realized then it was time I showed my self to this evil and seek out my mate.

" No, Reishi it is time I found him he is my mate I wish to speak to Jaken do not try to keep me from it I will use my Miko energy on you if I must."

Reishi

I watched Kagome in all her radiance her power showing clearly as her mind was made up. I watched her green eyes light up with decision. I knew there would be no stopping her as a human she was independent but as a demon she was almost vicious when it came to some one trying to hold her down.

" Kagome I do not wish to stop you but I will go with you, I promise my brother I would do this and I will if it takes my life."

The Past

Reishi

I turned my dark eyes to that of my brothers golden ones. I knew he was worried even though he hid it well behind his rigid mask of indifference.

I started to turn and walking away after all as a half dark one and half dog demon I knew all to well we where not allowed to show how we cared. But then my brothers words stop me.

" Brother take care of her."

I knew then Sesshoumaru the mighty power lord of the western lands was indeed asking me to protect his mate the demon Miko Kagome. I slowly turned back to him.

" Why do you ask me and not our brother Inuyasha?"

I felt his anger but yet at the same time I felt his you could almost call it desperate plea but since it was coming from Sesshoumaru it could not be called as such.

" Do not question me dark-one I know you love my mate, and that alone makes me choose you. Yes I know Inuyasha cares for her as well perhaps more then you but he is also half human and allows emotions to block his common since you do not have that problem protect her."

I nodded my head letting him know I would indeed take care of her even if it meant my very life. I watch as the proud Youkia turned and walked away.

End of Past

The Present

Sango

I walked slowly into the large bed chamber where I now realized Kagome was having a loud conversation with the dark one. I felt my friends pain as I seen the desperation then decision come into my friends eyes.

I knew her pain as I had been through almost the same thing by the lose of my family to Naraku, but some how I felt her pain was far greater then that because her soul was not whole.

" Kagome Jaken wishes to speak with you he has something for you that I believe you may wish to read."

I watched as this fact registered with my friend but I knew when she read what lied within the letter it may possible destroy any thing she had left inside. I almost wanted to scream out at the wrongness of the fates but knew deep down it would do no good so instead I turned and heard them following silently behind me.

Kagome

I turned and followed my friend and walk into the room where the little green toad look alike stood. I knew then my mate needed me to be strong to show strength in this time of so much bloodshed and pain.

" Jaken, where is my mate?"

I watched as the green toad for once said nothing and bowed his head in respect to my status and handed me a peace of worn parchment. I knew then this was some sort of letter from my mate. If I had been human my hands would have been shaking but my demon side would not allow me to show my pain at that moment. I slowly reached out and took the parchment and turned and left the room feeling the eyes of my friends on my back.

I turned down the hallway and walked to the chamber my mate and I shared, as I walk inside I could still slightly smell his demanding scent and I felt a slight peace come over my soul, but knowing that his scent would soon be gone from the place that held so many memories, memories that I held so dear to my heart.

I turned the rough parchment over in my clawed hands and slide the seal that was my mates away from the parchment and open the letter. I felt the tears fall down my face as I read.

Dear Mate,

I never thought I would have to say this to you but I have lost this battle some how. I will not be coming home to you my mate. Jaken will be able to fill you in on the events that took place, this evil is more then I ever thought it could be that is where I have failed. Kagome go back to your time before it is to late I love you mate.

You know this evil Kagome it is the Miko Kikyou she has grown in power by the evil that has taken her over, she has gifts that make her a worse evil then that of Naraku. Be on your guard Kagome. Even my demon body could not uphold against this evil I will miss you mate be strong I know you can because you are my mate...

I felt the tears land on the parchment but I tried to hold them back as I kept reading the damming note.

Go back to the future be with your family, walk away but I already know my mate you will not leave your friends that's what makes you the Miko Demon you are. I do not have long I must go but remember deep down you know what needs to be done, I love you my mate.

I closed the parchment as the tears ran freely down my face I would allow them for only a moment more before I would hide behind the wall of ice I felt wrapping around my heart like barbwire. I turned feeling someone presence in the room with me as I turned I felt a hand on my shoulder without looking I knew it was my mates way of letting me know in some way he was there.

Maybe if I had turned I would have realized but I did not maybe it was fates way or maybe it was just the fact I was to hurt to since what was really there. So instead of turning I closed my eyes and crawled into the large bed that had once belong to my mate and I. I pulled the covers over my body and buried my head just to be close to his dying scent and cried.

unknown

I watched her cry her tears so freely and could almost laugh at the stupidity of this demon Miko, becoming a demon had not changed her none she still choose to allow her self to hurt. I would not kill her then what would be the fun in that.

Her pain fuelled my power the jewel grew darker it fed off of her pain and she thought it to be gone foolish child. She thought her mate to be near but in a way he was I laughed as my eyes glazed over with power as I thought of his last words.
