Hello to you all again! I worked really hard on this! (Actually, it took me 2 hours, but that is HARD work XD). I had this idea coming already before I had the Sango and Miroku thing, so I hope you enjoy all of this! Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but I own my own story!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru wandered the forest without his companions around. Where is Jaken? And where could Rin be? He heard the distant sounds of crying, and turned around in that direction. Who could be crying?
He walked towards the crying, as it got louder and louder as he approached it. It's… He stood in front of the girl and looked down at her. Kagome… She looked up and began to get frightened.
So now you want to kill me because no one is here for me, huh? He kept looking at her, and she sighed. Figures. Once I start to cry, someone wants to kill me. Well? She looked up at him in anger. Do it! He walked up to her and glared at her.
This Sesshoumaru will not kill a woman. She stood up and wiped away the tears.
That's not the Sesshoumaru I know. She laughed. For the first time, he heard her laugh. But people change. He kept looking at her while she was looking down on the ground. No matter how you look at it, everyone changes at one point of his or her life. It can be anything: personalities, attitude, appearance, love… She looked up at him and he looked at her.
You may be right Miko. But it is useless to love one. She shook her head.
You're wrong. Someone in this world loves you, Sesshoumaru, and you may never know about it… ever… She laughed again, and looked at the ground. Who knows? Maybe you know the person, and they like you, but you never asked her! She smiled and he smiled inside. But you won't know until you tell the person how you feel about them. She looked up, then to his chest. She wrapped her arms around him, and hugged him. He was at a lost. He didn't know what to do at that time, and he looked at his arm.
Kagome… He wrapped his arm around her and held on to her tightly.
Sesshoumaru shot his eyes open and saw her still sleeping on the ground. He looked at the sky and saw the stars shine onto the lands. He looked back down at her, then jumped down out of the tree. He looked at her face, and saw it lit up, like the moon in the sky. She looks… happy… He sat down on the ground next to her and watched the world roll by.
Where am I? Kagome looked around and saw a red blur off into the distance, sitting at the Bone Eater's Well. What is that? She walked into the direction, to get a closer look.
She kept walking towards the figure and it became clearer. Inuyasha? She kept walking and saw an arrow in his leg and arms. Arrows? She ran up to him and saw it was Inuyasha. She began to cry, as tears ran down her cheek. Inuyasha! Are you hurt? Are you – He put a finger over her mouth and shook his head.
Don't worry about me. I am okay. Worry about yourself. I want you to be happy, and not struck by my pain and wallow in your own despair. She shook her head, as her tears started falling off of her face. I want you to be happy, and I want you to move – She shook her head and pounded her fist into his chest.
No! I can't forget you! I can't move on! I can't be happy without you! I need you with me! He smirked, and shook his head.
You don't know it yet, but I think you have moved on. Kagome, no matter what, I will love you. But now, I want you to be happy for me and live with the one you love the most. I don't want you dying on me yet. He closed his eyes, and disappeared from her grasp. She fell to the ground and began to cry again.
You can't leave me again! I need you… here. She wiped her tears away and heard footsteps coming towards her. Hmm? She looked behind and saw a figure. She stood up and backed up towards the well. Stay away! He came closer into view. You're… He kept walking towards her and she was in shock. Sesshoumaru…
Why do you cry for him still? She felt the urge to cry again, but she didn't shed tears. She looked at him and smiled.
I guess I am weak. But I think that is what it is like to mourn, huh? He looked up at the sky.
Don't blame yourself. She gasped, and he looked back at her. It wasn't your fault. She looked at the sky and smiled.
I think he knows that too. She closed her eyes and was happy for the first time in a while. Thank y—He began walking towards her, and she became confused. Oh, did I upset you? He stopped, 5 inches from her.
No. Miko, you… He took a couple more steps towards her, and she smiled. You don't hurt anyone… He wrapped his arm around her and she was shocked. The Sesshoumaru right before her eyes, hugging her!
Sesshoumaru? He held onto her tighter, and she was still shocked for him to do this.
Cherish… this moment. She gasped, and she held him back. For the first time, she felt safe with him.
"Sesshoumaru!" She whispered in her sleep. He looked down at her and saw her smiling. She dreams about this Sesshoumaru? She began opening her eyes, still thinking of his name. "Sess…" She noticed him sitting next to her, and she sat up.
"Yes?" He asked her. She blushed a deep red and looked at the sky. She saw the sun rising up from the horizon. She looked back at him and smiled.
"Nothing." She stood up, and held her hand out to him. "Want to head towards the castle again?" He stood up and looked at her. "Oh! I owe you from earlier!" She looked at his left arm and began to chant a spell. He saw his arm come back, and she saw it was back to normal. "I did it!" She smiled. He moved his arm around, and lifted her off of the ground.
"You need not to walk on these lands." She smiled. He looked down and saw her smiling. "You are happy again."
"I guess I am. I need to think of the future." She looked at him, and kept smiling. I won't forget you, Inuyasha, but you were right. I guess I did fall in love again.
"You are smiling at me?" He kept looking in her eyes, and she began to blush.
"I guess so. But I am still sad for you. I mean… you have no heir to your lands! Wouldn't that be bothersome to the other Lords or something?" Her smile faded, and he kept looking at her.
"Do not pity this Sesshoumaru. I have someone in mind to ask." He looked straight ahead. "But it is not the right time yet." He looked back, and saw her happy. You will not realize it… Kagome… I told you! Who was right, and who was wrong? Hmph…
"Well that is good!" I guess I am out of the picture… No! You will be the one! I feel it! Hmph… She sighed and kept looking at him. I won't know until he asks me. I will never know if he loves me until he tells me… one day… She looked at the sky and smiled. Thanks Inuyasha. Thank you. Just guide me through life, and I'll do just fine. She began to get comfortable in his arms, and he began to get comfortable holding her.
She… will be the one… to guide me… Oh my gosh! You have emotions! Hmph… This Sesshoumaru will never show them. One day you will. He looked ahead and smiled inside. "Kagome?"
"Yeah?" He used my name!
"Rest." She began to close her eyes, and drifted off to sleep, while he began to think of his future.
If she is the one I want for my mate, how will the others take it? Oh, who cares about them! Do what you want! But what if she declines? Look, I have noticed her and she is in love with you! You are just too dense to see it. Do you criticize this Sesshoumaru? I sure do! You know what? You will tell her tonight! Or once you get to the castle. Which ever one fits you the best. I will tell her when this Sesshoumaru wants to. And that will be tonight or once you return to the castle! And no buts, mister! He looked at her peaceful face, and, for the first time in years, smiled on the outside. When the time is right, Kagome. He brushed some of her hair away from her face with his thumb, and kept smiling. When the time is right…

And that is that chapter! I hope it was just right for all of you, and I hope it wasn't too... stupid (I really wanted to dodge the arm regrowth thing, but how can you carry someone bridal style?) So I hope you enjoyed this, and I hope to see you soon!
