"A Love to Remember"

Thank you to the people that have reviewed. I apologize for the long wait between chapters, but I did warn you! But fear not O dear readers, I won't abandon this story, and I am writing another one, more so of a one-shot, but that will be a minute before I publish it. I'm having trouble keeping this one properly updated, but anyway…on with the story…hope you like it!

Chapter 9: Dreaming pt 2

Flashback: Satsu's POV:

(A/N: Satsu is the past Kagome, but Sesshomaru, and everyone else have their original names)

Pain. Anger. Regret. Betrayal. That's all I felt. My lover, Inuyasha, betrayed me. He stole something that he can never give back. He stole my dignity. He stole my self-respect. Many think he raped me. He did, not just physically. Don't understand, let me explain further.

Flashback of a flashback:

It was a cold winter day in Japan. However, even though it was cold, it was also extremely beautiful. The birds were chirping, the sun was high and bright, oh yes, everything was great! My love Inuyasha was with me, and when we were together, nothing could spoil our time together.

As we walked down the city market place, just looking around and enjoying each others company the emperor came and said hello to us. This man was all about power, lust, and greed. Many times he has asked me to marry him, but each time I have refused. I was madly in love with Inuyasha, and I would gladly give my life to him.

The emperor's name was Naraku. He was tall, well built and had very nice facial features. 'So what's the problem?' You may ask. Don't worry; you're not the first to ask such an obvious one. Even though Naraku has power and on the outside he is magnificent to the human eye, he is a monster in his own right. His aura is blacker then black; he has no manners, and has no compassion what so ever. All he cares about is power. He killed his own father so he could have the throne. The only reason our part of the kingdom is not in shambles, is because the lord of the Western Lands, Inutashio, will always keep him in check. See, Inu- Lord Inutashio, is the only one that Naraku fears; and I fear that if Naraku succeeds Inutashio, before Inutashio's son, Sesshomaru, our whole kingdom will perish.

I'm sorry, I keep forgetting to give Lord Inutashio his proper title, but it's hard when you're on a name-to-name basis with his family. You see I am really good friends with Lord Inutashio and his family, especially Yoki, his new wife. I can't tell you how or why we are so close, it just sort of happened when my father was alive. Rest his soul. All I know is that ever since I was born, I was born to marry one of the lord's sons.

But back to the story; as Naraku looked at me with lustful eyes, I could tell that it was taking Inuyasha every ounce of self-discipline to keep himself from ripping Naraku to shreds. Even though Naraku was scared of Inutashio, that doesn't mean he was afraid of his sons. I gave him a polite bow of my head and grabbed Inuyasha by the arm and quickly walked away, no need in making a scene.

"Why didn't you just let me kill him?" asked Inuyasha as he nuzzled my neck.

"Because you know that would not be right, and your father would surly kill you" I said with a few giggles.

As we walked to my little hut, we saw couples here and there just holding each other, talking, and enjoying their special time together. We gazed in other's eyes a few times, but we barley said anything. We didn't need to either. It was like we already had a complete understanding of the other's thoughts. Kind of weird huh? But that was a good thing; it meant that we didn't have to pretend that we are something that we're not.

Finally reaching my front door, I turned to him getting ready to say good-bye.

"I really-"I started, but he stopped me before I could finish my sentence.

"Satsu, I love you, you know that right?" He asked me while placing a clawed hand on my lips.

I just nodded, not being able to say one word.

"Well then, could you allow me the honor and be my mate?"

What! I have waited so long for him to ask me that question. I nodded very forcefully and hugged him tightly with all my strength.

Then he kissed me, but this kiss was not like other kisses. It was soft, yet demanding. It as calm, yet it was urgent. As we kissed I vaguely noticed that he picked me up bridle style and started running towards his home, the magnificent castle.

Since he was a hanyu, he was able to get there in less than ten minutes, when a human could only get there in half a day. Inuyasha jumped up high to his balcony and opened the door. And he did all this and was still kissing me. Then, he gently placed my feet on the marble floor and abruptly stopped his actions.

As he cupped my face with his hands and rested his forehead against mine he said, "Satsu, I don't want to rush you. If you're not ready, then I can wait."

Tears started to fall from my eyes, but they were not tears of sorrow, but tears of happiness. He cared enough about me to ask me again if I was ready instead of assuming. Even though I was ready for this, it was wonderful to know he cared to ask me.

Thinking that I was having second thoughts, Inuyasha let go of my face a turned away from me while giving me a slight apology. I quickly grabbed his arm and made him look at me.

This time I cupped his face into my hands, and leaned my forehead against his, and said, "Inuyasha, I love you so deeply, I want to be your mate. I wanted to be with you forever."

He looked me dead in my eyes, and smiled a true smile. As we kissed, we some how got into his room, and now we were on the bed. Then…we made love, and we were united as one.

…………………………Next Morning……………………………………

I woke up to coldness. Not warmth. I didn't know where I was. Instead of waking up to having two arms wrapped around me, I woke up to having nothing but a blanket wrapped around me. I was in one of the many dungeons in the palace. My hair was matted; I could see my breath in front of me as I breathed. I was horrified; I was humiliated by what I was seeing. I saw three guards standing outside the bars of my cell, drooling, looking at me with lustful eyes, but that is not what truly horrified me. The sight of Inuyasha standing next to them holding a pair of, what looked like, keys to the dungeon, and another girl in his arms.

Tears fell down my eyes. I clung to the thin blanket, as if it were my life line, for in a way it was. It was the only thing I had to cover me, but something told me that everyone was going to see me, not matter what I did.

I looked Inuyasha dead in his eyes and said, "Why are you doing this? What did I do?" My voice shook with every syllable, I barely recognized it.

"Satsu, you foolish little slut! How could you believe that I, Inuyasha son of lord Inutashio, would love such a pitiful and worthless thing like you?" He said to me in reply. His voice was different, it was evil. It wasn't caring like I knew it to be. And with every word he laughed at me, he mocked me with his voice, his laughter, his eyes, and his whole existence.

My eyes began to burn with more tears as he went on.

"You see Satsu; I have officially made you a slave, for a purpose I assure you, so you are not totally worthless. I have sold you as a, shall you say 'pleasure girl' in town. They told me that they needed more and well, you're now available. Seeing as how I wish to dispose of you."

"B-but why?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, but I knew that since he was half-demon, he would hear me.

"I need more power, and with me being a hanyu, I don't get much of it, even if I am the son of a great ruler.''

"But how are you getting more power by doing this?" I yelled back at him. I was furious. How could he do this? I thought he loved me!

"Well, you know Naraku," he started as he took a step aside so I could see Naraku's form. "He has offered me a bargain that I can not refuse. I as offered me power over half his lands, in exchange for you my dear precious."

I was beyond horrified now. Words could not explain how I felt. I was now Naraku's. He could do whatever he wanted with me now.

Tears, no rivers now formed along my face. My vision was completely blurred from crying. I didn't even bother to hide the heart wrenching sobs that came from my heart ache.

I was torn to oblivion. I was numb to an extent to where I didn't even care what was about to happen. At least, I didn't care until it did happen.

I heard the jiggle of keys, and the turn of the cell lock. I heard the opening of a door. Then I felt a hand grasp my upper arm tightly. I looked up into the face of a monster, Naraku. He dragged me out of the dungeon without difficulty. Even though I kicked, screamed, and fought. He still carried me up the basement stairs, down the long dark halls that held so many memories. He easily carried me to his room, where he officially made me his 'pleasure girl'. The last thing he said to me before he violated me was "You refused me before, but you can't refuse me now."

……………………..End Of Flashback of Flashback……………

Ever since then, I was known as a whore. A woman, if you could call me one, that no one showed any respect towards. But…my story shall always continue…as long love and pain is alive.

…………………………….End of Flashback……………...

Kagome could not believe what she saw. Tears ran down her face, for she to could feel Satsu's pain. But what she didn't know is that she was feeling her own past hurt.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she saw Sesshomaru. He had a face of concern. Somehow he had gotten in the locked bathroom and woke her up from her dream, but her dream was really just an unconscious state of her reality.
