Chapter 5
-Last Time-
"Oh." She nodded. "Inuyasha, do you mind if I look at yours?"
"Nope. I wanna see what I forgot too." He glanced at teh wall when Kagome put her hands on his head.
"Let's begin then, shall we?" She smiled and began the process.
-Present-
(((((Inuyasha's Memories)))))
"Hey, Sess?" A four year old Inuyasha asked his elder brother as they watched tv.
"What, little brother?" Sesshomaru asked, his eyes never leaving the television screen.
"Do you think Higurashi-san would let me marry Kagome?"
Sesshomaru's eyes snapped to Inuyasha. "What?"
Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru with confusion in his wide honey eyes. "What? I just want to know if he'd say okay. What's the big deal?"
"No. You can't marry Kagome." He answered firmly, turning back to teh tv.
"Why?" Inuyasha paused. "Who says? Higurashi-san or you?"
"Both."
Inuyasha glared. "You like her, don't you?!"
Sesshomaru covered Inuyasha's mouth. "Why are you so loud? And no, I do not like her."
"Then why did you say I couldn't marry her?"
"Because I am older."
"So. If dad says I can marry her, I can. Besides, if she wants to marry me, then we could lope."
"It's elope, you halfling. And you'll be disowned if you do."
Inuyasha gasped, his eyes growing wide. "Dad wouldn't disown me for that...would he?"
Sesshomaru smirked. "Yes. He has considered it already."
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, don't disown me!" He ran off, trying to find his father. "Please don't disown me!"
SsSsSsSs
"Get off me!" Inuyasha scowled at his older brother whom was currently using him as a chair. "Fine! Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" He tried to hit Sesshomaru, who dodged. Wincing, he watched as a vase across the room bursted open.
"Inuyasha!" Inutaisho boomed, snatching his son off the floor and staring him in the eyes. "What have I told you about using that in teh house?"
"Sess was crushing me. I could've died. Whaddya think I am anyway?! A couch?!"
Sesshomaru stared at him emotionlessly. "A rather uncomfortable couch."
Scowling, Inuyasha struggled to free his collar from his father's grip. "Will ya let go, old man? I got things to do."
"For example?" Inutaisho questioned with a knowing smile. "Does it have anything to do with my lovely Kagome? You've been quite busy thinking of ways to propose to her lately."
Inuyasha blushed, looking away. "Feh. As if I'm going to propose to a stupid girl."
Sesshomaru held up a piece of paper, reading, "Number one, I love you. Jus tmarry me already. Number two, give Kagome flowers and ask kindly." He looked up. "Father, your idiot of a son scratched the correct one out."
"Hey, what are you doing with my papers you mutt?!"
"I believe that is you, halfbreed!"
"What's up with you?! You always get mad when I bring up Kagome. You like her so stop lying!"
Sesshomaru glared. "Hn."
Inuyasha smirked. "I knew it. Too bad she's mine though."
Inutaisho shook his head. "Don't let her hear you say that. Kagome will get very angry, Inuyasha."
"Still, she's going to marry me. Sorry, Sess."
"I do not like her. You can have her."
"Liar." Inuyasha sighed. "Look, Sess, I'll be nice. If you admit it...I think I'll back off. I like her a lot, but you deserve to be happy."
"If I wanted her, I could take her from you. So no thank you." Sesshomaru turned and glided from the room.
Inuyasha looked up at his dad. "I tried to be nice. At least I can keep Kagome."
Inutaisho sighed, smiling at his son. "Yes. You tried. And if Kagome, Nao, and Kiyoko wish, you may be with her."
"Great!" He paused. "Hey, dad. What do girls like?"
"Girls like jewelry. Kagome, on the other hand, is much different from most girls. You would have to ask her."
"Alright. When are we going to see them? I have to give Sota his toy car back."
"Soon. Sota will not be there, though. He is out of town."
Inuyasha nodded. "Oh. Okay. I'm gonna go find something to wear!" He took off, stopping outside Sesshomaru's door. -What's bro doing?-
Sesshomaru sighed, sitting on his bed. "I don't like that human. She's just...beautiful and smart. But she's too young. And she'll die. They all die." He turned and stared out the window.
-Poor, Sess. Maybe...I should back off. He'd be happy with Kag. But I want to be happy too.- He sighed and turned to leave.
(((((Memories over)))))
Kagome pulled her hands back slowly. "Um..."
Sesshomaru glared at his brother. "Inuyasha, how dare you observe me without my knowledge?"
Inuyasha shrugged. "I just wanted to know what you were doing. And you would've noticed me if you weren't so lost in your thoughts." He looked at Kagome. "Did that make you uncomfortable, Kag?"
Kagome looked up at him, her eyes flaming hot pink. She felt an emotion she had never felt before. And never before had she blushed as she was doing now. "I, um..." She nibbled on her finger nails, staring at the ground. "It was unexpected...Sess, can I look into your mind? I'll try to only stay within the locked away memories if it makes you feel better.
"Hn." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. -Perhaps she only thinks that my feelings were of the past, that I no longer feel them.
BEAST- AND I WILL MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS SHE'S WRONG.
(((((Sesshomaru's memories.)))))
Nao couldn't stop smiling as he entered the waiting room. "Tai, she's here. My baby girl is finally here. Bring the kids." He instructed, grabbing Sota's hand and leading them to the room where Kiyoko rested with Kagome in her arm. "Dear," he whispered, "Tai and teh kids are here to see Kagome."
"Come in then. She's wide awak and showing no sign of sleep to come." Kiyoko smiled as everyone gathered around her. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet the latest addition to our family, Kagome Maiko Higurashi."
Inutaisho's eyes shone with happiness. "May I hold her, Kiyoko?" When permitted, he took the small bundle with raven hair and wide, golden eyes. "Hello there, Kagome." He stroked her cheek with a clawed finger. "Your father and mother have allowed me to be your godfather. I will take no other name than Tai-papa."
Kagome cooed, taking his finger and gnawing on it. "Aw gwa me pffft." She giggled happily.
"Look, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru." Inutaisho knelt for the two to see.
"Cool. It's a girl." Inuyasha smiled at her. "Hey, Kagome."
Kagome reached up and snagged his ear, tugging and laughing. "Ah!" She squealed.
Sesshomaru stared. -A female baby. Hn.- After looking at his father with questioning eyes, he reached out and stroked her head, smiling softly when she smiled up at him. "Father, she is our god sister, correct?"
"Correct."
"And what does that entitle me to do?"
"You and Inuyasha are to protect her, take care of her, and love her."
Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome to find her asleep. -Father said to protect, take care of, and love her. That should not be hard.-
SsSsSsSs
"Father, we will be on the card aisle." Sesshomaru led Inuyasha away to the card aisle.
"What are we doing over here?" Inuyasha asked, staring at the cards Sesshomaru was gazing at. "Oh, it's Valentine's day. We should get some for Kagome and her mom, right?"
Sesshomaru nodded. "What is Kagome's favorite color?"
"It's...purple."
"No. That was last year."
"Blue?"
"Last month."
Inuyasha shrugged, crossing his arms. "I don't know then. She keeps changing it."
Sesshomaru kept staring. "Women like pink. Majority of these are. Just pick one. And I will pick another." He reached up and grabbed a card, reading it to himself. -Through your eyes, I see your soul. With you near me, I feel whole. I'm here to protect and to care. Coming across a woman like you is very rare...Kagome does have beautiful eyes. This will work well.- "Inuyasha, I have one for Kagome."
"Good. I found one for Kiyoko-san. It just says she's pretty, and we're glad to know her. Do you think we should get them some chocolate or something?"
"Perhaps." After picking out some candy, they sniffed out their father, tossing their things into the basket.
"What is all of this?" Inutaisho asked, staring at the candy, cards, and stuffed animals in the basket.
Inuyasha smiled proudly. "Sess and me got somethings for Kagome and Kiyoko-san."
Inutaisho chuckled. "And I guess I have to pay for it? Alright. It was nice of you to think of them. We'll take them over after I buy them." And just as he had said, their next stop was the Higurashi residence. "Happy Valentine's day, Kiyoko!" He greeted, kissing her cheek. "And my little Kagome." He pecked her forehead. "The boys have something for you." With that, he turned and followed Kiyoko to Nao and Sota.
Kagome grinned. "Come with my to me room. I have some things to show you!" She dragged her two friends to her room, showing them the small white puppy on her pillow. "I named her Shiroi."
"Cute." Inuyasha smiled as he stroked the sleeping puppy's head. "Where'd she come from?"
"My daddy found her in an alley. She's a pure breed, and she's healthy. Daddy said I could keep her. Oh, and my mommy gave me my spring kimono." She held up the pink and orange kimono. "Oh! And I got you these for Valentine's day!" Reaching into her dresser drawer, she took out three necklaces, each with one-third of a jewel on it. "These were made from a jewel mommy and daddy found in my body. I'm the reincarnation of some woman named Midoriko or something. Anyway, the jewel is important so I want you two to keep up with your parts." She told them with a large grin as she slid them over their heads. "You like?"
"Yes." Inuyasha and Sesshomaru nodded. "We have some things for you." They gave her the things they had bought.
Kagome gasped. "Candy! Thanks guys!" She thanked them each with a kiss to their cheeks. "I'll..." She turned to the door when she heard someone knock. "Yes?"
Nao opened the door slightly. "Kagome, you have another guest." He stepped aside.
"Koga-kun!" She squealed eagerly, running to the small wolf cub. "Hi, Koga. What are you doing here?"
"It's Valentine's day." He said, following her inside. "I have something for you." Blushing slightly, he gave her a ring.
Kagome smiled, placing it on her finger. "Thanks!" She kissed his cheek. "I bought this for you." She gave him necklace with beads, small wolf charms, and his name spelled out on it.
"Wow! Thanks, Kagome." He kissed her cheek.
"Koga, these are my godbrothers and bestfriends, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru."
"Sup." He waved.
"Hn/feh." The brothers dismissed him.
Kagome dragged Koga over to her kimono and began to babble about it, forgetting about her guests for the times being.
When Sesshomaru got up to leave, Inuyasha sighed and followed him. They walked gloomily to where the adults were and sat on the couch.
"What are you two doing up here?" Inutaisho asked.
"Kagome's busy." Inuyasha growled out, crossing his arms over his chest.
"With what?"
Just then, Kagome came running into the room, giggling and trying to get away from Koga. She came to a stop when she reached the back wall of the livingroom. Koga tried to skid to a stop, but failed and collapsed on top of her. They laughed. "Sorry." They apologized at the same time.
Inutaisho chuckled. "Oh. That's what."
Kagome sat up and grabbed Koga's hand, smiling at him when he blushed. "Your face is red."
"No, it's not." He snapped, turning away.
"It is! You're blushing. That's so cute." She teased, kissing his cheek.
Kiyoko gasped. "Her first boyfriend!"
Nao scowled. "Her first boyfriend."
Kagome looked up and noticed Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looking a tad sad. "Hey, guys. What's wrong?"
"Nothing." They replied at the same time.
"Yes there is. I can feel it in your aura's. What's wrong?"
Inuyasha huffed. "You're just ignoring us for him."
Kagome blinked and turned to Koga. "Sorry. I didn't mean to. Honest." She swore with blue watery eyes.
"You don't have to cry about it."
"I can cry if I wanna!" She yelled.
"Stop being such a girl!"
"What do you think I am?!"
Inuyasha snorted. "I don't know! You act like a guy sometimes."
Kagome glared at him. "You take that back!"
"No way, wench!"
"Inuyasha!" Inutaisho barked angrily.
Koga growled. "How dare you call her that?!"
Inuyasha snarled back. "Who asked you to say anything about it?! If I wanna call her a wench, I can!"
"Stop calling me a wench! I mean, how dare you?!" Kagome asked angrily, her pink aura forming around her. "You're such a meanie, Inu!"
"I'm mean?! You're the one ignoring me! It's your fault!"
"My fault?!" A shot of energy flew from her and hit the ceiling and crashed back down near her feet, causing Kagome to fall on her butt in shock. Her tears ran down her face. "Daddy, Mommy, why did that happen? It could've hit Tai-papa or Inu or Sess or Koga. I could've hurt them."
Kiyoko sat before the sobbing girl, pulling her into her lap. "You were angry and upset. It will happen until you gain control over your energy, alright. It's nothing to cry over."
"I'm sorry." She wiped her eyes on the back of her hand.
"It's alright, sweetheart." She answered, wiping away more tears. "Did you show Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Koga your new bike?"
Kagome's eyes brightened instantly. "Oh, no! I forgot! Inu, you gotta see it! And you can show me how to do tricks and stuff. You too, Sess and Koga." Grabbing Sesshomaru's hand, she led everyone out.
SsSsSsSs
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome yelled.
Getting up, he walked outside in time to see a dark haired figure running away from Kagome. "Kagome, did he touch you?"
She nodded. "He touched my cheek and kissed it. And he took Shiroi with him." She whimpered, hugging him. "Is Inu still asleep?"
"Yes." He stared down the street, but saw no sign of the dark haired man. "We will tell your parents when they return with my father."
"O-okay." She rocked on the porch, trembling when he wrapped his arms around her. "He...he knew my name. And he was so scary, Sess. Why did he touch me?"
Sesshomaru thought for a second. "He thinks you are pretty."
She shook her head. "I don't want him to think I'm pretty. His aura felt dirty."
"You can not change what someone thinks, Kagome." He smiled at her softly, running his fingers through her hair. "Did he say his name?"
"No."
"Hn. Everything will be fine. Our parents will know what to do."
Kagome smiled. "Thank you for making me feel better, Sess." Leaning up, she kissed his lips gently, then looked away.
Sesshomaru stared at her in shock. "Why did you just kiss me?"
Kagome shrugged. "My mommy kisses my daddy when he makes her feel better."
"Oh." He leaned down and kissed her back, only a little harder and longer.
"Why did you kiss me?"
"Your father always kisses your mother back, does he not?"
She nodded. "Yes." She jumped up when she heard Inuyasha calling for her.
Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist. "You know, you can't kiss Inuyasha ever."
"Why not?"
"Because, you only kiss people you like."
Kagome frowned. "I like Inuyasha."
"No. People you LIKE." He emphasized.
"But...I do LIKE him."
"You just can't kiss him, okay?"
Her eye brows furrowed. "If I wanna, I will."
"And if you do...I won't protect you anymore."
"Fine then! I have my daddy, mommy, Tai-papa, and Inu! So there!" She ran away from him.
"Kagome!" He called, but she wouldn't return. "Stupid Inuyasha. Why would she want to kiss him anyway?"
(((((Interlude)))))
Kagome snatched her hand back from Sesshomaru's head, cradling her hand to her chest. She felt her heart thumping and nearly ignored Sango and Miroku's entrance. That is, until Miroku touched her butt. She turned to smile at him. "Hi, guys."
He took a step back. "What? No slap? Not even a threat? Are you feeling well, my Kagome?"
"I'm fine, Miroku. Why are you guys here?"
Sango hugged her best friend. "We've been so worried. You haven't been accepting our calls for days now. How dare you make us worry like that?"
Kagome grinned. "I'm sorry. I've been a tad stressed." Glancing over at the wall, she was shocked to still see Sesshomaru's memories playing on it. "Why didn't it stop?
(((((Continue of Sess's memories)))))
"Hey, Sesshomaru, what's that?" A demon questioned, his long black hair in a braid behind him.
"What, Hiten?" Sesshomaru asked, writing the answer to the last question on his homework sheet.
"That thing your messing with around your neck."
Sesshomaru looked down to find his hand stroking the third of jewel Kagome had given him. "Hn." He snatched his hand away. "It was a gift."
Hiten stared at it. "Strange. It's calling to me. And it looks familiar." His hand reached out to grab it, but he snatched the appendage off when Sesshomaru glared at him. "I know what it is!"
"What." Sesshomaru asked, hardly caring.
"It's the Shikon No Tama! That jewel made by that priestess named Midoriko. If a demon took that inside his body, his power would increase by like thousands! Who gave it to you?"
Sesshomaru sat silently for a second. "Someone I considered a friend years ago. I no longer speak with her."
"It's a her?! Is she hot?! Can you call her up and hook me up with her?!"
"No."
"Why not?"
Sesshomaru ignored him for a moment, then answered, "Did you not here me say that I do not speak with her any longer."
Hiten shrugged. "If you had a fight, make up with her, and then tell her good things about me."
"If I am only finishing my homework, I assume you have yet to begin. It is 10 o'clock. I am going to bed. So you may leave my dorm room." He kicked him out and took off his shirt, lying in the bed. -Pest.-
((((((Sess's dream within memories))))))
"Sesshomaru." A sweet voice called out to him. "Oh, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru looked around in his room, which was empty. "Hn." Rolling over in the bed, he locked eyes with a naked Kagome, her body hiden under the covers. "Kagome?"
She smiled. "Sesshomaru. I've missed you. Why haven't you spoken to me in so long?" She asked, buring her face in his neck.
"I could ask you the same." He mumbled softly, eyes widening when he felt her kiss his neck. "What are you doing?"
"What? Never been kissed on the neck before, you prude?" She teased, tangling her hands in his hair.
Sesshomaru shivered when her warm hands slid down his bare back. "This is a dream. Why would I dream of this? I have not thought of you in years. I have no idea what you look like. I have no idea if you are still alive. You are human after all."
She glared up at him. "You sure know how to ruin a mood, Sess. This would be much easier if you stopped talking and started stripping." Kissing him full on the mouth, she threw his pants and underwear out from under the covers and climbed on top of him. "Much better, isn't it?" Sesshomaru stared up at her, his mouth dry. Kagome giggled, trailing kisses down his chest. "I knew it would be." Soon, she was under the covers, her kisses getting lower and lower until...
(((((Dream over)))))
Sesshomaru shot up in bed, drenched in sweat. His chest rose and fell. "What the...hell?" He hadn't been one to curse, but when things like this happened...he had no choice! His eyes bled red. "Beast, I call you out now!"
His beast seperated from his body. It looked like a duplicate of said frustrated demon, except with long, black hair and brown eyes. "You call, master?"
"What did you do?" He asked, his hand snapping out to choke his inner inu.
"You mean nocturnal emission?"
Sesshomaru glared harder. "That does not happen to this Sesshomaru. And why was it Kagome? What was the purpose of that dream?"
His inner inu (let's call him Uramohsses.) blinked. "First, you have wet dreams. And why no 'Gome? She beautiful, kind, intelligent. I like Gome."
He sat his hand at his side. "You do not. I do not. WE do not."
"Do to. If you no like her, I could not give you dream."
Sesshomaru snarled. "You are mistaken. She is nothing more than a godsister."
"Liar. You and me both want Gome to be ours. You like Gome. I bed Gome."
"Listen, you perverted mutt, I feel nothing toward her. And you will not bed her."
"Stop with lying! Even Inuyasha know we care for Gome. Just 'cause mother died no mean Gome will."
Sesshomaru scoffed. "It does. Humans die, it is inevitable."
Uramohsses huffed. "If we mate Gome, she be strong demon and still have miko power. Your mother no mate your father yet. So the miko died when she was hurt."
"And what happens if Kagome is injured before I mate her, which is not even an option."
"We bring her back with sword father made Inuyasha's mother died, Tensaiga. We bring her back and have her for life."
"Must you be so ignorant? It has been years since we've last seen her. She has probably had many boyfriends. As you states, she is beautiful. And I have a girlfriend, whom I care for."
"Kagura no girlfriend. And if you care for her, you would have courted her. Kagura girl you might bed. And if you bed, you will imagine she is Gome."
Sesshomaru sank back into bed. "Return to me. I do not wish to hear your worthless hopes. You may want Kagome, but I do not."
"If I no get may way, your life be hell. Remember that, sess." Uramohsses returned to his master.
"Damn beast has gone insane." He hissed, shoving his head under a pillow and whispering, "I do not like her...I love her."
BEAST- I KNEW IT! YOU LOVE GOME! WE GO FIND HER AND MATE HER!
"We can not." Sesshomaru sighed. "We simply can not."
((((((End of Sess's memories))))))
Kagome stood there in shock, one hand raising to her flushed cheeks. -Sesshomaru can't love me. That was a long time ago. It had to be.-
Sesshomaru also stared in disbelief. His secret had been revealed, and not the way he wished for it to be. "Kagome..." he began.
"No need to explain!" She said with a smile. "It was just a dream. Pfft. It doesn't matter." She waved it off. She strung her hands through her hair, gasping when her hand ignited the second she touched her forehead, her memories flashing on the wall. -Why can't I move my hand?!-
(((((Kagome's memories)))))
Kagome shook her head, tears in her eyes. She blinked them away when she felt Naraku enter the room. Hi, Naraku!" She said as cheerfully as possible.
"Kagome." He strolled to sit near her on the bed. "You are crying?"
"I was. I was just thinking about how my daddy is never away from me on my birthday. But he's not here today. But I'm fine now."
"You're not, but I know how to make it better." He grinned lecherously. "I've been watching you. And I came upon a realization." He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "You want me as much as I want you."
She jumped as his hot breath hit her ear. "Wh-what do you mean?"
He chuckled, placing a hand on her chest and beginning to unbutton it. "You know exactly what I mean. I can fell your attraction, my darling. And I'm going to give you just what you want." He caught her wrists when she tried to run away. "Uh uh. There's nowhere to run, my love. You've been teasing me for far to long, prancing around the house in those little skirts and tight jeans your mother bought. I've never wanted any woman so badly. And you, my lovely little girl, are not getting away."
Kagome whimpered, trying to free her wrist. "Let go! Mom! Mommy stop him!"
Kikyo walked into the room, watching silently as the little blind girl she falsely claimed as daughter thrashed to get away. "No, Kagome. He is right. You've teased him and seduced him, swinging your little hips as you walk. I'm surprised he didn't take you earlier." It hurt her to watch. She just wanted to tell Naraku to stop it, but she knew he'd hit her again, and she didn't want that.
"M-mommy!" She cried out as Naraku stripped her. "I thought you loved me! How could you let him do this?!" She sobbed, fighting as Naraku pushed her down on her bed. "Get off of me! I'm telling my daddy!"
"Your father doesn't care, girl." Naraku hissed, kissing her neck. "He gave you away so easily."
"N-no! You're lying!" She cried out when he slammed into her. "Aah!"
"I speak the truth. We won the fight because your father decided to sign a contract to give you to me. I will show you when we're done, love. I promise."
Kagome shook her head, crying out again when he thrusted into her. "Daddy wouldn't do that."
"What was the last thing he said to you?"
Kagome closed her eyes and tried to rememeber. "He said...he said..." Opening her eyes, she revealed glazed over eyes when he bit into her neck.
He smirked. "He said good riddance. He said get out!"
Kagome nodded, her eyes returning to normal. "He did give me away! But if he won't save me...Tai-papa will. Or Inu. Or Sess. Right?"
"No. They helped your father make the decision to give you to me." Releasing himself into her, he rolled off and pulled her to him, wrapping the sheets around them. "I am the only one who loves you, Kagome." He caressed her face. "Sleep. When you awaken, we will bathe. Alright?"
Kagome sniffed, nodding weakly. "Will it make the pain go away?"
"Yes, it will."
"Okay then."
SsSsSsSs
"Where are you going with this boy, Kagome?" Kikyo asked the fifteen year old girl.
Kagome shrugged. "Akitoki and I are just going to a movie. Come one, Aki." She dragged him out before Kikyo good say and word and climbed into his car.
Akitoki glanced at her as they drove. "Kagome, what movie are we seeing?"
"Aki, you are cute, but you're an idiot. What movie do you think I can SEE? I can't SEE anything."
"Then why are we going?"
Kagome groaned. -Five...four...three...two...one...-
"Oh!" He began to drive faster, nearly carrying her into the theater. "You know Kagome, even though you're blind, you're a fun girlfriend."
Kagome growled at him. "Don't talk. You're ruining my modd. Just kiss me." She ordered, taking his lips in hers and kissing hungrily. "Kami how can something that tastes so good be so ignorant?" She asked aloud, kissing harder when she felt his hand slide into her underwear.
"I was born without a decent brain." he smirked, pumping two fingers in and out of her, "What can I say, babe?"
"I told you to say nothing." She said flirtaciously. "But if you wish to speak, go ahead." She was happy tha he was at least smart enough to pick a movie that no one wante to see. They were the only ones there. "Smart move picking an empty theater."
"Not empty." A deep voice came from behind her.
Kagome jumped up. "Naraku! Th-this isn't what it looks like. I was um...He was choking and..."
"You decided to push the popcorn down his throat with your tongue?" He shook his head. "Come on. We're going home. We've got a lot of talking to do." He snatched her by the arm and took her home, throwing her against the wall. "What the hell were you thinking?!"
Kagome groaned, grabbing the back of her head. "Wh-what?" She asked, her head pounding.
He growled, kicking her in the side. "You heard me! Why were you kissing him?!" His fist collided with her jaw.
Kagome wiped her bleeding lip. "It's your fault! You did this to me! Because of you, I have cravings! Cravings I don't want to have! But if I don't get what I crave, I feel like I'm dying inside!"
He chuckled, kissing her lips. "And that's why I'm here. To quench your thirst for sex."
"No. I don't want it from you." She stood and ran, crying out when he grabbed her arm roughly, causing a lound POP! She collapsed, falling against him and clutching her arm. "Y-you bastard."
"Yes. Father wasn't really around for me. Don't I deserve your pity?" He licked his lips and kissed her cheek.
"You deserve nothing, you pest. And the second I find out how, I am going to purify you to hell!"
"Really? Are you now?" He questioned innocently, holding her close. "That's just too bad. Well, I should have fun with you while I can, huh? Come on."
SsSsSsSs
Kagome winced as she opened her eyes. She looked around. -Why is everything so white?- "Wh-wha?"
Naraku looked over at her from his spot in the corner, but said nothing seeing as Sango and Miroku were in the room.
"Oh Kagome!" Sango smiled at her friend. "You're awake! Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?! Is Akitoki the father?"
"No." Kagome choked out.
Miroku grinned. "Is it me?"
"Have we had sex you moron?" She snapped.
"Not while I was awake, no. But perhaps my dreams have made you pregnant."
"Yeah. Maybe that's what happened." She said sarcastically. "How do you know about my baby anyway?"
Sango sighed sadly. "He's gone. He died. The doctors don't know how."
Kagome nodded. "would you two leave please?" She followe them with her eyes, then glared at Naraku through her tears. "What did you do?!"
"I got rid of the unwanted spiderling." He answered, standing at her side and taking her hand.
Kagome yanked at her hand, trying in vain to free it. "It wasn't unwanted. I wanted it! He didn't deserve to die just because his father was a disgusting, perverted old demon!"
"I'm not that old, love. Only fifty."
"Why? Why, Naraku? He hasn't even had a chance to live yet. Why do you keep taking things from me?" She sobbed, covering ehr face.
"Love, do not cry." He stroked her head. "When the time comes...we will have another. And we will take care of him together. Now, just isn't the time. I'm sorry for hurting you. I love you so much." He kissed her forehead.
"Stop saying that! You don't love me! If you did, right now, I'd be with my father, my friends, my godfather! What you have is some kind of sick obsession with me for some reason! So don't you dare say you love me, you-" Her rant was cut short by a gentle kiss.
Naraku sighed, pressing his forehead to Kagome's. "I do love you. But I can't take the chance of you leaving me and being with one of Inutaisho's boys or some other. You are mine and always will be, even when I am dead. Even when you are dead. I will find a way to bring you back."
Kagome took a few deep breaths to keep from killing him. "I belong to no one. And I know of your many enemies. Remember this, Naraku, you are not like me. While I belong to noone, you belong to me. Your enemies wish for your head. But I will be the one with it on my trophy shelf. I own you. And when the time comes, I myself, will break you. But I will be merciful. Where you are killing me slowly. I'll simply behead you. Maybe if I get angry, I'll strangle or poison you. Maybe even purify you into oblivion. But I will kill you."
"And I will drag you to hell with me, my love."
"Though I doubt that, if it must happen, that is a small price to pay to see you burn in person."
(((((End of Kagome's memories)))))
Kagome trembled before dropping to her knees. -Naraku will die by my hands. If I have to, I will follow him to hell.- "My life, has been nothing but hell since I met him. I will not allow this to continue. I will kill him on the day he took everything from me...my birthday." She whispered to herself.
Sesshomaru knelt before her and tilted her face up to look at him. He had never seen such pain and rage in her eyes before. "Cry if you must, Kagome."
She stared at him blankly for a second before launching into his arms and sobbing into his shoulder. "Oh, Sessho, why would anyone be so evil."
"I do not know, Kagome. But you musn't let him hurt you anymore. You are not alone anymore. I am here. We are all here." He held her, burying his face in the crook of her neck. The pain he felt in her aura nearly crushed him. -My mate, no longer must you hide your pain. And I will be at your side when you kill Naraku."
"S-sessho?" She muttered into his shoulder.
"Yes?"
She hesitated, blushing lightly. "Do you still love me?"
Sesshomaru paused before coughing lightly. "Ahem, I...I do."
"Inuyasha, do you still care for me as well?"
Inuyasha looked from her to Sesshomaru. -Sess should be happy. He's already on edge because she's a human miko like his mom...I'll just lie. They should be happy together.- He sighed and looked away. "No."
Kagome felt more tears gathering and she buried her blue eyes in Sesshomaru's shoulder once again. "It was pretty selfish of me to wish you both loved me, wasn't it." She laughed softly. -I didn't know it would hurt if he said no.- Pulling herself from Sesshomaru's arms, she sighed and stared at the ground. "So what do we do?"
"Do you feel the same?" Sesshomaru asked uncharacteristically gently.
She felt her face heating up. "Why do I keep blushing so much. I've never done it before." She whined, hiding her face. "Silent laughter is just as mean as doing it aloud, father and godfather." She snapped, having felt their vibrations. "I do, Sesshomaru."
"Then we court."
"No. We don't."
He frowned, looking at her. "Why not?"
"I have...issues I need to work out. I can't...I can't love you, if I don't fully love myself."
"And why wouldn't you love yourself?"
"Because of Naraku. The raping and hitting. It messed with my head. And being blind. I can't do it any more. I want to see. I'm tired of opening my eyes and hardly being able to tell that they are open. Being in the dark all the time is lonely. It drives me mad at times."
"You are not alone, Kagome. And I find no fault in you being blind."
Kagome huffed. "But I do. I can't be happy this way. And I want to see the man I court. And if it goes any further, I want to see what our wedding looks like. I want to see our children. Sesshomaru, I don't remember what a sunset looks like, and I want to so badly. I just can't be with anyone right now. I'm sorry. And I want to..." She blushed harder, turning away. "I want to see your body. I've never seen my own, let alone a male's.
Sesshomaru stared at her, a soft smile on his face. -She wishes to see my body.- He couldn't stop the low chuckle from coming from his mouth.
"Hey, don't laugh at me. Do you know how hard it was to say that aloud?! And yours isn't the only..." She trailed off, placing her hand over her mouth.
"You will see no other." He said sternly.
"And if I do,what? You won't protect me anymore." She teased. "Fine. I could do without your protection. I'm very skiled with a sword."
Sesshomaru cocked a brow. "Really? We will have to see something."
Kagome smirked. "I guess we will. And once I beat you, I'll battle Inuyasha."
"Must you always speak of Inuyasha?"
"Must you always be so jealous?" She shot back, rolling her eyes. "I swear, you inuyoukai and your possessive streak just annoy the heck out of me."
"There is no way for you to triumph over me."
She snorted. "I bet I could. Meet me in the dojo tomorrow at seven. We'll test your little theory. Right now, though, I'm hungry. I'm off to make popcorn." She got up and left for the kitchen, taking Sango and Miroku with her.
"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru called.
Inuyasha looked back at his elder brother who had popped up behind him. "What?"
"I did not need you to back down." He said. "But arigato. You are occassionally alright for a little brother." He patted his younger brother's head.
"Feh! Just stop treating me like a dog!" Inuyasha couldn't help but smile when he felt his brother ruffling his hair. -Maybe we could actually be like brother's now.-
"Perhaps, little brother." Sesshomaru smirked when Inuyasha sputtered.
He stared in amazement. "You heard me?!"
Sesshomaru chuckled lowly, starting to leave the room. "I always have.
