I do not own the characters of Inuyasha! If I did then Kagome would be with Sesshomaru! That's why I made this!
I just wanted to thank everyone who followed, favorited, reviewed, and to those who took the time to read my story. (Even if you didn't like it) it means the world to me!
There are worse games to play.
Sesshomaru was in the lead. Shippo and Kaname were behind him. Sango and Kilala were behind Shippo and Kaname. Kagome was next.
Souta and Katsuo were in the back talking.
They had been working on trying to make his metal hand. He can do it. Just not for very long. He had practiced everyday to work on it.
Kagome heard Souta laugh.
Souta loved Katsuo as his brother. Katsuo was the brother he had never had. That's one thing she loved about Souta. He could look at someone and forgive their past. He was too kind for his own good.
Sango and Kilala stepped up to Kaname and talked to them. Katsuo came up beside her and they walked in slience. Souta ran to talk to Sesshomaru.
"I'm sorry about your family and brother Katsuo." She said without looking at him.
He looked at her questioningly.
"How'd you know?" He asked.
"I have a brother who adores you. But is more loyal to sister, Remember that." She said as she gave him a quick glance and looked ahead again.
Katsuo nodded.
"When Hidou attacked you both and I came back, it had been a week since I killed him." Katsuo said.
Kagome nodded.
"What else did he tell you?" Katsuo asked.
Kagome stopped walking and looked at him.
He looked into her silver eyes. He loved her so much.
"That we are all you have left. But your wrong. Look around you. We are all here for you. I can't love you like I use to. I just can't. You hurt me badly. But I will allow you to be my friend."
He was so happy.
Katsuo nodded as he looked towards the group that was walking away.
"You have moved on haven't you?" He asked.
Kagome looked away. She couldn't answer.
Katsuo slightly smiled as they continued walking again.
"I hope he feels the same way. You deserve to be happy. He would be crazy not to feel the same way. And don't worry I won't tell him." Katsuo said as he smiled.
She looked at Katsuo she could see the pain in his eyes.
He had messed up. Kagome couldn't let him back in.
But she knew who he was talking about.
She deeply cared for Lord Sesshomaru. Even if the chances of him feeling the same way were very slim.
This last month he had trained her more than anybody. Each attack. Each clash of blades she was close to him. She needed that. She had promised herself that she wouldn't fall for him. But every glance from him. Every time they spoke, the hook in Kagome had went deeper.
Katsuo nudged her shoulder as he whispered in her ear.
"just try not show him your Pervy side right away." Katsuo laughed.
Kagome stopped walking. She clinches her fist in front of her chest as a vain poped out of the side of her forehead in anger.
No. He. Did. Not!
"YOUR ONE TO TALK ASSHOLE!" Kagome yelled.
The entire group turned to looked at Kagome and Katsuo.
Katsuo ducked as she swung her fist at him.
Sesshomaru smirked. That Kagome sure was a spitfire. Of course he didn't hear the conversation, but he did enjoy her company.
After some time they had made it to the small village. The group all went there separate ways to get supplies.
Kagome walked around looking for her supplies. She could tell this was a demon village. A lot of the demons suppressed their aura. This was interesting.
Kagome had walked up to a fruit stand. She felt someone nudge her as they ran by but someone caught her and pulled her into an alley.
She looked behind her and a demon smiled at her.
She stood upright.
"Your new aren't you?" He asked.
She turned to fully face him.
He had long black hair and red eyes.
She couldn't put her finger on it but he was familiar.
Kagome smiled anyways.
"Yeah, I'm just passing through. Thanks for your help."
The demon nodded with a smiled. She saw fangs. She turned to walk away.
The demon took her hand.
"Wait, I must know your name."
Kagome smiled. This demon was starting to creep her out.
"Kagome. You?" She said with a light smile.
The demon gave a smile as his eyes turned lustful.
This Guy was going to rape her!
"Onigumo." With that he reached forward and grabbed her arm. It with arm-breaking force.
His other hand intertwined his fingers with her other hand as he slammed her against the wall.
"I'll soon have you screaming my name." He said.
She felt a rush of fear go through her. It was dreadful! This demon was going to take her virginity! It was only meant for the one she loved and it wasn't this weirdo!
She thought for a second. Would Sesshomaru come save her?
No! She wouldn't let anyone man-handle her! What was the point of all that training if she couldn't face some dickhead like this! She shouldn't be leaning on Sesshomaru.
She then remembered Katsuo's words.
"I know you care for him. No matter how much I can't stand it the only way to catch his eyes is to be strong. Show him you don't need his protection. He needs a strong woman to help him rule the West not some weak female. If you truly care for him show him you want to be at his side and that you are worthy of it. Though I know you are. He does not think so. Prove him wrong."
He had said that to her that as something to think about. She would prove to him that she was strong. That she could keep up! That she could stand at his side!
The hand that was holding hers had a grip but not for long. She opened her palm and a metal pole came out going through his own.
He yelled in pain as he staggered back ripping the rod out.
"You bitch!" He yelled.
She stepped forward.
"I'll teach you to be respectful to women! Your finished!" She yelled.
A sword quickly came from her hand and went through the demon on the right side.
In that same instant a pale hand with two purple stripes on the wrist went through the demons stomach on the left side.
The hand was removed.
Kagome did not removed her blade. She just let go of it.
Onigumo fell to the ground dead.
Kagome was faced with Sesshomaru. She looked into his amber eyes. She didn't even sense him coming.
"Thank you, but I had him." Kagome said.
Sesshomaru looked at her.
"I know." That's all he said before he turned and walked the other way.
She watched his back as he walked away. When he walked out of the alley she looked back at the dead body next to her.
She hated killing. But that guy didn't need to be doing that.
Five minutes earlier.
Katsuo stopped as he came across a homeless demon. He sat on the ground holding a cup for money.
Katsuo gave him some. With a nod the homeless demon thanked him.
Katsuo was walking down the village streets with his hands in his pockets and eyes closed. Souta was in the next street over and Kagome was on the other side of the village.
He sensed a disturbance in Kagome's aura.
He jumped onto the roof tops. He ran along them until he reached where she was. He looked over the edge of the building. She was in an alleyway.
Kagome had used her metal bending abilities to stab a demon. Sesshomaru was behind the demon with his hand through him.
He let out a sigh of relief as he turned and ran towards Souta.
She was safe. He was grateful. He was not a fan of Sesshomaru. Kagome was supposed to be his. But he messed that up.
If he didn't, he would've had a chance.
Maybe he wouldn't have went after his brother. He didn't want to while he had Kagome. She made reality bareable.
He had so many regrets in his life. Of course after his parents were killed, Kain took him in. Kagome's family was the best thing that happened to him.
When Kikyo had confronted him, he was against it at first. Hell, his beast hated the bitch. He didn't like her. She had always been a whore in his eyes. But he needed a rut.
When Kagome caught him, well his world came crashing down. He realized his mistake. He loved her. He fucked up.
When he woke up after she knocked him out, he was across the clearing with his pants down to his ankles and his manhood out. It was so embarrassing.
He stood and pulled up his pants. He knew explaining himself would do no good. He wanted to be there to apologize.
It was then he came to a conclusion. He would go after his brother. He would leave and not return until he took out his revenge. When he did, he would return to face Kagome's wrath.
"I'm so proud of you as your older brother. I will always love you." He remembered his brothers last words. He didn't even stay to watch the life leave his eyes. He knew he had won.
He hated how he didn't even take into consideration his brothers story. The way he had lived his life until now was disappointing. He had only caused pain to the people he cared for most.
When he noticed Kagome's interest in Sesshomaru, it hurt. It was something he would probably never be okay with. He loved Kagome with all his being. But she deserved the best. It most certainly wasn't himself.
As long as Kagome was happy then that's all that mattered to him.
Katsuo didn't know if he would ever move on. Right now, His main concern was making sure Kagome defeated Kikyo. After they were settled with there clan he would leave. He would let Sesshomaru have her and she would help him with the West.
He had to worry about continuing his clan when the time came. He was the last. And he swore right then that he would be faithful towards his future mate.
When he saw Souta he jumped off the roof and landed right next to him.
Souta gave a slight jump.
"Please don't tell me I scared you.." Katsuo said with a slight laugh.
Souta laughed nervously.
"No way man." He said.
Katsuo rolled his eyes.
They noticed Sesshomaru approaching.
They stopped walking until he stood a few feet away.
"Gather everyone at the front gate. I will discuss our next plan of action." He said.
They nodded as the three of them jumped in different directions.
When they all made it to the village gates, they gathered around to wait for Sesshomaru to speak.
"I don't sense the half breed or Kikyo in range. It will be at least two days before they make it to face us. We will stay in an inn in this village over night and move on in the morning. I will pay for three rooms. " He paused as he looked towards Shippo and Kaname.
"You two will have a room." He said.
He looked towards Souta and Katsuo.
"You both will be with me."
Him and Katsuo needed to protect Souta since he was the next Kinzoku clan leader.
He looked towards Kagome, Sango, and Kilala. "You three will stay together."
Everyone nodded as they walked towards the inn.
A/N: Hope you all enjoyed!
They will come face to face with Kikyo next chapter.
...
Until next time.
