Silverblood

Kagome worked very hard at her jobs in the kitchen and her jobs at tiding rooms.

Kagome had a gift that allowed her to know what made a person happy. She had fresh red roses in Rin's room every morning and a bottle of blood tainted wine in Sesshomaru's office. Inuyasha had some too and she always did his room when he was still asleep.

She feared him a lot. Even though he had promised not to hurt her she still wouldn't be in the same room as him without Sango.

Everyone in the palace had warmed to her very quickly. All the guards gave her high fives and friendly hello's whenever she passed.

Inuyasha had noticed that things were changing in the castle, he knew it was Kagome who had caused this and he kept thinking about that kiss.

He had always thought of humans as weak and prey but she was different.

Kagome had been thinking of him also and she knew that beneath her fear there was an odd feeling that kept making her get the butterflies whenever she saw him.

Kagome entered Inuyasha's room after making her usual deliveries to the king and queen of the palace. She saw his silver head in his large bed and entered placing the bottle on his bedside table.

She was about to turn and leave when she heard Inuyasha mutter something in his sleep. She leaned closer to catch what he was saying.

"Mother?... no don't leave me!...Mother?" he tossed fitfully.

Kagome was shocked, he was having a nightmare! Poor him.

She saw that he was sweating and got out her hankie to wipe his face, she felt the unfamiliar feelings I her stomach grow. He is kinda cute when he's sleeping she thought to herself.

She looked at the door and hoped no one would enter. She cupped his cheek and tried to comfort him in his dream.

When the nightmare became more vivid she held his hand and perched herself on the bed, in her homeland waking someone from a nightmare would only make it return to haunt you faster. So she just waited for him to wake up on his own.

He woke with a start and lay gasping. Inuyasha didn't realize someone was with him until a cloth came to wipe his brow. He turned and saw Kagome.

She was holding his hand and wiping his face. "Feeling better?" she asked when he had stopped gasping.

"Yes" he answered. An awkward silence fell upon them.

Kagome asked "What happened to her?"

Inuyasha sat up. "What?"

Kagome looked down "You kept saying 'Mother don't leave me'" she told him, "Did something happen to her?"

Inuyasha looked down ashamed. "I was five years old when I saw her get murdered by Werewolves"

Kagome gasped "I'm sorry"

Inuyasha looked at the floor. "Father committed suicide a few days later. Sesshomaru was fourteen and he was forced to become the leader of our clan" Kagome squeezed his hand, she knew that when he had finished telling him that he would feel better.

"That was thirteen years ago, I lost a Mother, Father and my brother in on week"

Kagome looked confused. "Sesshomaru isn't dead" she said.

Inuyasha nodded. "He might as well have been, he never laughed or smiled and whatever he did was empty" Kagome shivered. How horrid.

Inuyasha lay back down. "Things got better when he found Rin"

Kagome nodded and decided to tell him a little about herself. "When I was twelve my Mother died when she gave birth to twins. That was five years ago, I'm seventeen."

He looked interested. "How many family members do you have?" he asked.

"I have twin older brother and sister and a little sister and a brother who aren't twins and then the youngest are twins too, again brother and sister. I'm the third eldest. My father is a very sad man who hasn't ever truly smiled as long as I have lived."

Kagome hated her birthdate, it had caused her nothing but upset for as long as she could remember.

Inuyasha smiled slightly. Kagome smiled back.

"Do you feel better now?" she asked.

Inuyasha looked at her perfect lips, he tugged on her hand and she got pulled onto him. He kissed her sweet mouth and she kissed back.

"I am now" he told her. She smiled and kissed him again.

After that conversation they got along very well, Inuyasha started to realise that he had some feeling towards her that were stronger than he had originally thought.

Rin and Sesshomaru had given each other secret smiles when they saw Inuyasha with Kagome. The king's plan to teach his brother compassion had worked a treat.

One stormy evening the humans Sango and Miroku were in the living room that doubled as Sesshomaru's study, with Kagome and Inuyasha and of course the king and queen.

They were laughing and joking happily until someone knocked on the door. Kagome got up to answer it and then when she saw the face of the guest she half-screamed and ran to hide behind Inuyasha.

It was Koga, he was soaked with the rain and looked out of breath. "There you are wretch!" he shouted at Kagome. She cringed and clung to Inuyasha's shirt.

Sesshomaru came forwards with a face like thunder, he had grown to love Kagome as a little sister and wouldn't stand anyone using that tone when they spoke to her. "Why are you here, Dog?" he demanded.

Koga bowed very low then said "I must take this one back with me sir"

Inuyasha growled "No way mongrel!"

He whispered to Kagome "Don't worry I'll never let him have you" she was staring hard at Koga.

"And what gives you the authority to take her?" Sesshomaru asked his voice deathly calm. Rin stood by his side.

Koga sent a glare at Kagome "She has the potential to start a war if you don't return her" he said. "She is a Silverblood"

(Silverblood another night walker but the opposite to a vampire and they have been warring and feuding for centuries)

Everyone, even Sesshomaru, gasped and turned to stare at her. Kagome just stood there not moving. "How did you know?" she asked Koga.

He sneered "Your Daddy really wants you home"

She ducked her head.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked "Is he telling the truth?"

Kagome looked up at him. "Yes" everyone gasped again.

She's a Silverblood! Crap! What the hell is she doing in this country? Inuyasha was half swearing and half rambling in shock and horror.

Kagome straightened up and had a glare like glint to her eyes "I am Kagome Higurashi, princess of the Silverblood kingdom… now you know" she bowed her head and waited for someone to arrest or kill her.

Sesshomaru sat down and said "I think that we had better hear the whole story"

Kagome sat down too and put her hands in her lap. "When I was born my parents were thrilled that they had such a beautiful daughter. I was going to be queen one day, but on the day of my birth a famous prophet came to the palace and foretold my future"

Kagome gritted her teeth and recited:

"The second Silver princess has been born

Her life for nothing but to morn
Her gist are beauty past compare
Her powers skills forever rare
Nothing can stop the fate foretold
Either choice or victim's story unfold
Caught in a war between the two nights
To be taken by two to end the fights
To the vampires fangs she'd surely fall prey
To be given to them in her seventeen's day"

Everyone was silent when she finished.

"To be blunt I die at a vampires hand in my seventeenth year"

Sango shivered how horrible, to know when you're going to die just as you were born.

"Could you explain each line, please?" asked Miroku.

Kagome nodded.

"The second Silver princess has been born. That's me because I have an older sister"

"Her life for nothing but to morn, that describes my death"

"Her gifts are beauty past compare. That's why I'm pretty" Understatement! Everyone in the room thought.

"Her powers skill forever rare. I have rare powers even at Silverblood standards"

"Nothing can stop the fate foretold. I can't escape this fate"

"Either choice or victim's story unfold. I will either go willingly or by force"

"Caught in a war between the two nights. The war is the feud between vampires and Silverbloods"

"To be taken by two to end the fights. Two is a shortened term for two fang, that's what most Silverbloods call vampires"

"To the vampires fangs she'd surely fall prey. A vampire will kill me"

"To be given to them in her seventeen's day. I will die in my seventeenth year… this year"

Everyone felt a surge of pity, except Koga. "Whatever wretch, just go home and stop your Dad from killing us all" Sango hit him with a frying pan. "Ow"

Sango eyed him in disgust. "You rabid dog, how can you be so heartless? Kagome has been born to die and you don't even blink!" she aimed her frying pan again but then crumpled to the floor in pain as Koga's Werewolf powers hit her.

"Don't touch me wench!" he spat and hit her again making her scream in pain.

Miroku dropped down to her side and glared at the werewolf, he wished he was strong enough to make him suffer.

Kagome glared at Koga and her pupils and irises glowed silver for a second. She saw Koga get ready to torture Sango again, she stepped in front of her and when Koga's powers hit her she sent them back at him. He fell backwards and howled in pain.

"See how you like it!" she hissed her eyes still glowing. Then she dropped down and helped Sango up.

Sesshomaru picked the wolf up by his tail and threw him from the room. "You are no longer welcome here, if my guards see you again they will have orders to shoot you" she he turned his back on the whimpering dog.

Koga left but he looked back at the castle "A vampire protecting a Silverblood, what is wrong with this country?"

Inuyasha was still in shock at Kagome's sudden power. "Kagome that was incredible"

She looked at him. "You think so?" she smiled a little. "That's one of the basic defence forms; reflection. You send the enemies energy right back at them"

Inuyasha thought about his sword, That's like that Backlashwave, maybe that technique was learnt from the Silverbloods.

Sango murmured something then said it louder as only the vampires heard her. "Why didn't you tell us? And why did you protect me?"

Kagome thought for a minute, "I was afraid…I know that vampires hate Silverbloods and… if you knew you would have…I'd be…"

"Dead" Sesshomaru finished.

Kagome nodded "And I protected you because… you promised to protected me…" Kagome said thinking about how she had gotten her job here that had saved her from being eaten. "And… your my friend, I couldn't stand by and let him hurt you"

The girls smiled at each other, nothing had changed they were still best friends like before. Miroku still had his arm around Sango and he smiled kindly at Kagome, she was still the same girl that she had been before today.

Rin looked at her husband. "Sesshy, what are we going to do now?"

Kagome froze, she had been dreading this part.

Sesshomaru though hard for a long time than he said slowly "Even though you are a Silverblood it seems you don't hold any threat on your own. But if your Father is that determined to have you back, then maybe it's best if you go home."

"No!" Kagome shouted making everyone jump. "Please, please don't send me back, you don't know what it's like there for me!" tears built up in her eyes. Inuyasha wanted to hit Sesshomaru for hurting her feelings.

Sesshomaru walked up to the crying girl. "You have to understand too, I have a kingdom to protect, and if your people insist an war I will have no choice but to kill you along with any Silverblood there is. If there is a way to avoid this war then I will have to do it" he put a hand on her shoulder.

Kagome looked into his kind face then her eyes went silver again. Sesshomaru's eyes mirrored hers.

After a tense few seconds they both returned to normal. "You see?" Kagome asked him.

Sesshomaru blinked then nodded still slightly dazed. "I see…"

"What?" asked Inuyasha.

Kagome looked at him, "I sheared my memories of my time there, wanna see?" she didn't wait for an answer and everyone's eyes went Silver as she showed them what she had shown Sesshomaru.

Memories

There was a child Kagome running through a Silver palace she held flowers in her hands. "Daddy look what I've brought you!" she squealed but her Father didn't smile or turn around.

"You shouldn't have gone outside, never go out again. A vampire could be in the village" the child Kagome was amazingly cute held the flowers at her side and walked slowly form the room with tears in her eyes.

A slightly older Kagome playing with her maid; "Will I be a big sister soon?" she squealed.

The maid laughed and said yes. "Fortunately the baby will have a happier future than you"

"What do you mean?" the child asked.

"You will be killed by a vampire when your seventeen, in ten years"

The child slowly shook her head then she ran to her Father's room again. "Daddy! Daddy! Is it true? Am I going to die in ten years?" her Father couldn't even look at her.

Kagome out in the village everyone looked at her with pity. "Did you here she's only got eight years left" a villager said when they were sure that Kagome wasn't listening.

"I'll pray for a quick and painless death" said another, a priest.

"Maybe it would have been better if she had never been born" Kagome walked away with tears in her eyes.

Kagome ripping apart a painting of the soothsayer who had foretold her death. "I hate you!" she was screaming before crying herself to sleep.

The memories flashed faster now. Kagome at twelve crying over her mother's body "You'll see her in five years" said a maid.

In her room crying herself to sleep every night since she turned fifteen.

Kagome running away to escape it all. I'll go to a place where no one knows about me. I don't want to die. She jumped off a cliff into a huge lake and sawn to the other side. She turned back to have one last look at the palace. "Bye" she whispered before running north.

Getting captures by Koga and getting beaten then sold to Sesshomaru. Fate is cruel… I can't escape the prophecy can I?

Her fear when she though Inuyasha was going to bite and kill her. Why?

End of memories.

Everyone blinked and a few sat down in shock. The story of her life had Sango and Rin in tears. Miroku could only look at Kagome in pity. What a cruel fate she had to endure.

Inuyasha now realised why she had been so scared of him before. Poor Kagome, I must have scared her to death.

Rin took Sesshomaru to a corner of the room while the others went to comfort the now crying Kagome.

"Sesshomaru…" Rin said. "We can't send her back to that" her eyes were still a little red.

Sesshomaru nodded "I don't think I could sleep peacefully if I did, but there is still the problem of war. If there isn't another option in a month then I'm afraid I'll have to send her home" Rin looked at him with big brown eyes and he wrapped his arm around her.

"Kagome" he called louder. She looked up and everyone was silent. "If there is another way to avoid war with the Silverbloods without destroying your happiness then I'd gladly choose that option. We have just over a month to think of that other option, that's how long it will take for the Silverbloods to get to our borders, if there isn't another way I'll have no choice but to send you home"

Kagome nodded, "Thank you Sesshomaru" she said wiping her eyes.
