Chapter 3: Living with Sesshoumaru
Kagome and Rin were in Kagome's antechamber in the palace, where Kagome was trying to teach Rin how to read and write in cursive, when a knock came on the door.
"Who is it?" Kagome called out sharply. For she had made it quite clear that when she was tutoring Rin, no one was to disturb her, with the exception of Sesshoumaru, or a message from him.
"Higurashi-sama, it is Jaken. I bring you a message from the Sesshoumaru-sama."
"Come in, Jaken." After the imp entered, Kagome extended a hand. "May I have the message now, please?"
"Certainly, Higurashi-sama!" Jaken extended the paper toward her. "May I be excused, Higurashi-sama?"
"Just a moment, Jaken. I may need you to stay here. And also, a favour," Kagome spoke.
"What is it, Higurashi-sama?"
"Don't call me Higurashi-sama. Call me Kagome-san. All right?" Kagome looked at Jaken.
"Hai! Arigatou, Kagome-san!"
Kagome looked at Rin. "Hang on a moment, Rin-chan. Ok?"
"Ok, Kagome-chan!" Rin piped up.
Kagome took a look at the message.
Kagome-san,
Someone has arrived and is asking to see you in my study, if you will join me in five minutes?
Arigatou,
Sesshoumaru
Kagome nodded, then looked at Rin. "Rin-chan, stay here. Jaken, I need you to keep an eye on Rin-chan for me."
"Hai, Kagome-san! See you soon!" Jaken nodded.
Kagome hugged Rin, and left.
Kagome walked down to Sesshoumaru's study, and knocked on the door, then walked in. "You requested my presence, Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"Hai, I did. There are two people here who wish to speak with you."
"Nani?" Kagome was confused. "Who could be here to speak with me?"
"Princess Kagome-sama, it is you!" Two figures emerged from the shadows behind Sesshoumaru.
"Princess Kagome, don't you recognise us?" The other asked.
Kagome gasped, surprised. "Usagi-san? Lyn-san? How are you here?" She turned and looked at Sesshoumaru. "These two are from my home… They're my closest friends back home…" She looked back at the twins.
"Matte."
The trio turned and looked at Sesshoumaru, and he continued, "How is Kagome a princess?"
Kagome looked at the pair. "I'd like to know that myself, anata ni."
"Kagome… Hime-san…" Lyn started to say.
"It's like this…"
"You are a Princess…"
"You just happen to be our younger sister, and a Royal Princess of the Silver Millennium," Usagi finished.
Kagome stood there, speechless. A few minutes later, though, she spoke. "How is this possible? I would have some sort of memory of this, wouldn't I?" She aimed the question at Usagi.
Usagi shook her head. "Kagome-chan, it was much the same way with me, when I first found out. I couldn't believe it myself."
"Usa? Lyn? What is going on here?" A feminine voice questioned.
Usagi and Lyn turned. "Serenity-mama! Help us, please? Kagome doesn't believe that we are her sisters!"
Serenity walked to Kagome, who drew herself up. "Kagome, relax, please. We do not mean you any harm.
"Now, I need you to just shut your eyes for a second, please?"
Kagome heard the pleading tone in Serenity's voice, and nodded, closing her eyes.
Serenity placed a fingertip to Kagome's forehead, and a crescent moon began to appear on her forehead.
Flashback
After her vision cleared, Kagome found herself running in a marble hallway. "Serenity! Seira! Wait up!"
Serenity and Seira turned around and laughed. "Sorry, Kagome-chan! We didn't mean to leave you behind!"
Kagome caught up with them, and leaned over, resting a hand each on their shoulder. "Mother is looking for the three of us. Someone just came and told me."
Serenity and Seira looked at each other. "Well, let's go then. We haven't got all day."
When the three Princesses entered the throne room, Queen Serenity sat there, with three men standing before her. One with long silver hair, which hung loose, one with long black hair in a ponytail, and the last with short black hair. "Ahh! Princesses! We have guests. Will you gentlemen please introduce yourselves?"
The three men turned around. The one with long black hair stepped forward. "My name is Seiya Kou. It is nice to meet you, Your Highnesses."
The one with short black hair stepped forward next. "My name is Tohru Misaki. I am also pleased to make your acquaintances, Your Highnesses."
The silver-haired tall man stepped forward, and the three sisters gasped. His face had crimson marks on them, and a blue crescent moon, tilted, on his forehead. He smirked as he said, "My name is Sesshoumaru Taiyou, and yes, I am youkai. I am the Prince of the Western Lands. It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Highnesses."
The three Princesses stepped forward, and curtseyed. Seira started by saying, "My name is Princess Seira Lyn Crystalia. I am the heiress to the Star Kingdom."
Serenity went next, saying, "I am Princess Seira's younger twin sister, Serenity Lunaria Crystalia, and I am the heiress to the Moon Kingdom."
Kagome went last. "I am Princess Kagome Miko Crystalia. I am the heiress of the Sun Kingdom."
The three Princesses curtseyed again while saying, "Welcome to the Moon Kingdom."
Kagome's vision went cloudy, then she saw other images flashing through, mostly of herself with Sesshoumaru, and then of Serenity and Seira with Seiya and Tohru, all three couples enjoying themselves together.
End Flashback
Back with the others, Kagome was laid down upon a couch, since she collapsed when Serenity's finger touched her forehead. A minute later, the crescent moon solidified, and Kagome's eyes opened. "Serenity-mama? Usa-chan, Lyn-chan?"
The trio nodded, and Serenity hugged Kagome. "My young one, my baby, your sisters have something they want to tell you, okay?"
Kagome nodded. "Okay." She faced her sisters. "What did you need to tell me, shisuta-chan?"
Usagi began, "Kagome-chan, we're here because we knew what happened to you on that day several months ago… We saw InuYasha beating you…"
"It took all of Usa-chan's strength and persuasion to keep me from killing InuYasha then," Lyn continued. "We saw you being rescued by Sesshoumaru-sama here, and decided to go back home.
"A few days ago, we had a vision about you meeting InuYasha again, and him hurting you again, and—"
"We decided that we couldn't let that happen," Usagi finished. "So, we got our affairs in order, told our family and our daughters that we were leaving, and didn't know how long we would be gone.
"Then, we came here, and immediately began searching—"
"For Sesshoumaru's castle," Lyn continued. "We knew that he would not let you out of his sight for some time at least, so we began looking."
"And now that we've finally found you, we're not ever losing you, again," Usagi looked at Kagome, with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.
Kagome was nearly speechless. "You came here… to protect me?" When the twins nodded, she rushed to them and embraced them. "You're the best."
Sesshoumaru smiled. "Well," and he looked at the twins, "considering that you are not here to hurt Kagome-san, but protect her, I will let you stay.
"Besides," he continued, "it's good to finally meet some of Kagome's family."
Kagome smiled. "Arigatou, Sesshoumaru-san."
Serenity smiled at her three daughters. "Kagome, there is something important that I need to tell you. May we speak alone?" she asked the others.
Sesshoumaru nodded, and led the twins out into the hall.
Serenity looked at Kagome. "Kagome-chan, tell me if I'm wrong, but… are you in love with Sesshoumaru-sama?"
Kagome nodded, then a worried look crossed her face. "I don't know if he loves me, though… I hope he does…" she looked at the door he exited.
Serenity smiled. " Don't worry, I think you'll find out soon enough, Kagome-chan."
The moment Sesshoumaru, Usagi, and Lyn entered the hall, Usagi and Lyn turned and looked at him.
Sesshoumaru stepped back. "What is it, you two?"
"We have a question for you…" Usagi began.
"You love Kagome, don't you?" Lyn finished.
"Excuse me?" Sesshoumaru stammered.
"You're in love with Kagome, it's written all over your face and mannerisms," Usagi pointed out.
"I – I don't know how I feel about Kagome," Sesshoumaru lied.
"Don't try to fool us, Sesshoumaru," Lyn began.
"We are mistresses of matters of the heart, and can tell when someone is in love," Usagi continued.
"And you, Sesshoumaru, are definitely in love. With Kagome," Lyn smiled.
Sesshoumaru smiled. "Well, ladies, you figured it out… I am in love with Kagome… I have been for a long time, probably about five years…"
"Then why haven't you told her?" Usagi questioned.
"Because, it's too soon to tell whether she loves me or not…"
"Well, Sesshoumaru, you'll find out, soon enough, whether or not she loves you," Lyn replied.
We should have the next updated chapter up soon! We hope you enjoyed this much-revamped chapter! Lyn & Rae
