A Mirror's Reflection
Lady Nefertiti
Last time: "Interesting." Sesshomaru said. And with that thought both walked off towards the Palace, each comfortable with each others presence now that they shared a mutual understanding… well at least about Kouga.
Chapter 5: Look at me
-With Kagome and Sesshomaru-
Well at least Kagome had taken care of Kouga and he was gone. "So you said that you had a meeting with the eastern lord today?" Kagome said trying to make light conversation with Sesshomaru while they walked towards his palace together.
"Indeed." He said. Kagome sighed but didn't say anything to him. Boys…Sesshomaru's beast was content and he purred as he walked with Kagome towards his home. So she'd gotten rid of Kouga, at least for a while and knew that Sesshomaru wasn't going to call her someone's 'reflection.' She shuddered as she thought about Inuyasha, her friend. It wasn't his fault, really and Inuyasha was just confused as what to do with the both of them because she and Kikyo did look alike somewhat. He couldn't mate them both even though it was permissible within demons and if it was for political reasons. To her, a human it was just weird having two husbands. It was like she was cheating on them or having an affair. Besides she didn't think that Sesshomaru (even though he was all about being honorable and following rules) would really like it if he had to share his mate and with his half-brother no less.
Sesshomaru was just half-listening to her as she spoke about whatnot trying to keep light conversation. What would the eastern lord say to him when he saw the both of them together? Not that Sesshomaru really cared about his opinion or the fact that the eastern lord wouldn't really dare to contradict or laugh at him since he was traveling with a human Miko. Every demon lord needed a Miko right?
"The western lands are so beautiful Sesshomaru. You do a good job of keeping lesser demons and problems within your lands off." Kagome said as they walked towards a river. A water body. Okay so it wasn't a hot spring but Kagome needed to wash her hands and her face! She skipped towards it happily as Sesshomaru stared at her back in disbelief. Rin acted like Kagome did. They weren't too far off nor very different. Human females acted the same, getting happy about really nothing.
"Thank you Kagome." He said as he walked over to her but she hadn't heard him as she sat down by the river and splashed around washing her hands. Suddenly she stilled as she looked in the water, gasped and then stood up. Sesshomaru looked at her then around. He hadn't felt a demon about to attack them so what was she up to? She turned and stared at him like she was looking through him at nothing really. "Miko?" he said.
"Sesshomaru." Kagome said walking towards him. She wanted to know…she wanted to know what he thought. "What do you see Sesshomaru?"
'….'
She grabbed his shirt and held onto his collar not really caring if he sliced her in half for touching 'his person.' She looked directly into his eyes and pulled him closer to her and she whispered, "What do you see when you look at me?" Sesshomaru looked at her upset expression and his beast was confused. What did she mean when she….
"What do you see when you look at me?" She shook his shoulders and then a little louder said, "WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME?!" then she leaned against him and started to cry.
'….'
Sesshomaru, being his usual self wrapped his arms around her, chin on her head and just held her. His beast demanded that he fix this problem and Sesshomaru said there wasn't really anything he could do except help her heart heal with time or help her forget her problems. He didn't know that his half-brother had driven this little Miko to such an extent. Baka never did know how to deal with his feelings and never did know how to deal with others. And he called himself the Alpha male of the pack and Kagome being the Alpha female of the pack. Sesshomaru scoffed. What a joke that was. He cared about his female so much that she ran off with his brother and Inuyasha had let her! Even compared her to his dead lover! Had she been a demoness and Inuyasha's mate she probably would've sliced his head off, angering her that much. Humans were just too nice. He rubbed her back and her tears stopped, yet the scent of her tears were bothering him.
'But she's not Inuyasha's mate nor Kouga's mate is she?' his beast said popping in out of no where suggesting that Sesshomaru do something about it.
"Kagome." Sesshomaru cooed at her, still holding her. She looked up at him then, her heart melting at the sight of his amber/gold eyes. So unlike Inuyasha he was. Their resemblance ended with their hair and eyes. "When this Sesshomaru looks at you he sees a strong and powerful female who wants to finish what she broke. A female who has honor and will not run away from her duty. Someone who is not hateful and is willing to be friends with even the deadliest demon not bothered that she is a Miko. A beautiful female with deep blue ocean eyes, turned into dangerous blue fire when angered. This Sesshomaru sees Kagome, someone who cannot compare to anyone else." With that he kissed her forehead.
'And someone who will be this Sesshomaru's mate soon.' He added as an afterthought but inwardly to himself.
"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama…." She said leaning into him. Crying did make one exhausted. He sat next to her and pulled her into his lap, watching her as she closed her eyes. It made him and his beast happy that she felt safe and comfortable with him alone.
'Inuyasha you baka.' Sesshomaru thought as he stared at the blue sky. His beast was happy as his intended mate (when she would become his) sat in his lap mumbling something about subjugating him (Sesshomaru).
'Hmm…' he thought and then grinned devilishly, a smirk on his face. He wouldn't mind being subjugated by her and thought about all the 'dirty' possibilities while she slept in his arms.
-Kaede's village- (With Shippo and Sango)
What should she tell him? She looked down into expectant eyes of Kagome's 'son' and coughed. Hmm…if she said that she (Kagome) ran off with Sesshomaru, Sango giving them her blessings to go and do whatever, Shippo would run after Kagome-mama and just end up getting hurt. Maybe she should stall him, at least for a while. "Shippo Kagome-chan hasn't returned yet and I'm sure she'll be here soon. There's no real reason to worry about her. You'll only make yourself sick. Uhm…why don't we go to Kaede's where you can color with those crayons that Kagome brought you and Ri…err…(better not mention Rin Sango thought sweat dropping) where you can draw pretty pictures to show Kagome how good you've gotten!" Sango said breathing a sigh of relief. Good save.
"Okay." Shippo said and both walked together down the path in silence.
And then out of the blue, Sango remembered something about her husband. "Miroku I haven't forgotten about you! You Hentai!" and she and Shippo made their way to Kaede's hut, a determined look upon her face.
-Miroku-
God save him from his wife! He should've known better than to ask Kagome to bring those magazines from the future! Well at least not in front of Sango. Wait…what did she do with them? She didn't burn them did she? Oh those poor beautiful magazines! All burnt to the ground, ashes…what a waste of such beauty…
Hiding behind Kaede wasn't going to save him this time. He took off, out of the hut and made his way into the deep forest hoping this time he'd find a big rock or cave to hide under or behind. Sango wasn't going to just hit him with her boomerang this time.
He should feel honored that Sango was possessive about him and became jealous if he was with another woman but he didn't exactly want her to try and kill him too! And these were just pictures of naked women not real naked women! She just took her anger out on the wrong person. He'd thought that after they'd married and had sex and she was with a child she wouldn't hurt him anymore. Guess he was wrong. He wondered what Inuyasha was up to or where he was. He needed some backup in case things got dangerous.
-Inuyasha and Kikyo- (night time in the forest)
She'd made him forget all about 'his Kagome.' Why didn't anyone understand that he was her's and no one else's! Kagome shouldn't have any problems because she came second. All that 'Kagome is a reflection' that came from Inuyasha wasn't a spell that Kikyo put on him, it came from him and him alone. Guess he was sick and tired of Kagome as well. She smirked. Kagome should be used to feel like a copy and worthless, the damn inexperienced virgin that she was. It was Kikyo that Inuyasha was having sex with after all. She smirked as she put her pants on closing the knot. Being Inuyasha's mate was like heaven to her and she'd be sure to rub it in Kagome's face when she next saw her if Sesshomaru hadn't killed Kagome for being annoying first.
Little did she know that Kagome was currently sitting in Sesshomaru's lap, leaning against his chest, his mokomoko wrapped around her and he was thinking about mating her. Would he follow the demon mating rules, ask for consent first, court her then mate her? or would he just go and do it? Hmm...Then he would go and rub it in Kouga and Inuyasha's face.
Looked like everyone was a hentai these days.
Lady Nefertiti: please read and review! thanks. :)
