Nothing is Impossible for Love to Overcome

By: Sandreline

Hey everyone!

Wow, some of those reviews were so great that I totally had to update again, just for you!

So enjoy!

Chapter 15: To Make Up or Break Up, that is the question!

Kagome looked down at Sesshomaru again as he slowly opened his eyes. She leaned over him slightly to place her palm on his forehead to check for a temperature.

Sesshomaru watch the Miko, her full chest claiming most of his view as he felt his blood heat up, before growling. The goddess was right; she had been wearing the kimono.

"No fever…" He heard her whisper to herself.

Sesshomaru gave off a snort like sound. "This Sesshomaru will not succumb so easily."

He watched through heavy eyes as she bit her lip, her eyes flashing before she brought out a bottle. "This will smell bad, and taste worse, but it will help. I'm not sure what they did to you, but I do intend to find out."

She brought a spoon to his lips, and Sesshomaru's golden eyes pierced her own. Kagome mentally told him that he would just have to deal, so he parted his lips ever so slightly, not giving in easily.

Kagome's thoughts wondered as the liquid poured from the spoon to his lips and into his mouth. That soft mouth, the same that the TaiYoukai had used to make her body tingle with pleasure, and kiss her so passionately that she thought she would faint.

Kagome shook her head, bringing the spoon away before placing the bottle in her bag. "Rin and Shippo should be back in a moment with water…" She said. Sesshomaru turned his head away, not able to look at her passive face any longer. He suddenly felt guilty. He wanted to take her into his arms and assault her neck with his fangs…

He snarled at his thoughts, and Kagome jumped slightly in fear. In turn, Sesshomaru closed his eyes, for they were getting heavy, and he drifted off into sleep, the Miko's scent lingering in his nose as he felt his body relax.

Rin and Shippo had returned with the water, so Kagome gently tried to part the TaiYoukai's lips and pour some down his throat. When she was sure he had a mouthful or two, so removed the bottle and tilted his head back, watching as his throat brought it down. They played together nearby, coloring with the books that Kagome had for Shippo. They were having fun. Shippo was drawing a picture of her, while Rin was drawing her Lord Sesshomaru.

"Kagome-sama!" Rin cheered as she and Shippo came bounding up an hour later. "Look, Kagome-chan! Rin has drawn a pretty picture!"

Kagome took the paper from the girl with a smile. "Really? Let's see." Kagome looked at the picture, and her eyes widened slightly. Rin had drawn Lord Sesshomaru, and even though he closely resembled a stick figure with a sword, Rin did her best to still make him look perfect. There was Jakken off to the side, his face in the dirt with a bubble of Ah-Un. However, there were others, and Kagome could tell they were made out to be her, and Shippo…

"Rin-chan, who are the little ones?" She asked.

"Oh! Those are the babies that Lord Sesshomaru and Kagome-sama are going to have!" Rin said, looking proud of herself. Shippo was hiding a smile, or attempting to.

Kagome's heart sped up. Leave it to a child to notice everything. Kagome smiled gently at the girl, handing back her drawing as she hid a painful heart. "Rin-chan, Lord Sesshomaru isn't going to have babies with me. He has to marry a beautiful, strong demoness to help him rule his lands." She said.

Rin pouted. "Rin-chan doesn't want Sesshomaru-sama to marry a demoness. They are all mean to Rin, and they never want to play with me. Rin wants Kagome-sama to marry Lord Sesshomaru! You are fun and nice to Rin!"

Kagome looked at Shippo, who only nodded his head (although it held the biggest smile) and looked back at the young girl. "Rin-chan, are you hungry?" Kagome asked, hoping to change the topic.

"Hai!" She said.

"Momma, can we have Ramen? I think Rin will like it." Shippo said.

Kagome nodded. "But you have to have something else, to." She looked around, spotting a berry bush. "I think those are raspberries." She said, pointing to the bush. She slowly got up so as not to disturb Sesshomaru. She walked over, both children at her side. She touched one of them, and her Miko powers flared, and told her they were safe and not poisonous. "Why don't the two of you pick some of these and have them with your Ramen?" She said.

"Ok oka-san." Shippo said, before he and Rin started to pick the berries. Kagome pulled out the water boiler and Ramen. Within minutes, Rin was drooling over her steaming cup, and Shippo was munching away.

With Rin's first bite, she smiled brightly up at the Miko. "Kagome-sama, this is amazing! You are a really good cook! Rin-chan wishes she could be just like Kagome-sama, beautiful and powerful and a good cook!"

Kagome laughed, Shippo glad to hear the happy sound. "Hai, Momma is amazing." Shippo agreed.

"I thought so first!" Rin said to Shippo.

"Not uh! I've known her longer!" Shippo said back. "She's my momma!"

"So! She can be my Momma too, right Kagome-sama?" She said, looking at the Miko with hopeful eyes.

Kagome blushed, eyes wide in complete shock. "Um, I'm not sure how Sesshomaru-sama would feel about that…"

Rin pouted.

Shippo smiled.

Kagome didn't make any Ramen for herself, so after she put her supplies away, she returned to Sesshomaru's side, again gently placing his head in her lap as she brushed the hair from his face. She looked down at him tenderly. Yes, she still loved him. How in such a short time she didn't know, but it hurt her so badly knowing that he now wanted nothing to do with her…

Kagome reached down to the bag of beef jerky she had brought. She couldn't hunt for him, but she always had some jerky with her, maybe he would have some?

"Sesshomaru?" She said lightly.

She watched as his eyes slowly opened, and he looked up into hers. He saw worry and regret in them, but he ignored it. "Do you think you can eat?" She asked.

"I do not eat human food."

Kagome's eyes flared for a moment, that spark that attracted him showing before it retracted again. "You need to eat. I can't hunt, but I have jerky, if you want to try it… its teriyaki flavored." She said, handing him one of the smaller pieces.

Sesshomaru glared at her as best he could, but he still was pretty much immobilized. Her slender hand suspended just above his soft lips, and the scent of the cooked meat came to his nose. He refused to open his mouth and be fed like some weak human.

Kagome growled lightly, something he found very attractive. Although he still glared up at her, he snapped the treat from her hand quicker than a puppy and his bone. Kagome smiled, before snagging another piece from the bag.

Rin and Shippo, who had just finished their Ramen, noticed that Sesshomaru was awake. Rin cheered, dashing to her father-like figure. "Sesshomaru-sama! You are awake!" She said, kneeling next to him. Shippo came and stood beside Kagome, cautious.

He nodded slightly, and she smiled. "You just make sure to get better. Don't worry about us, Kagome-sama is taking very good care of us. She is a very good cook!" She said, smiling. "I want Kagome-sama to be my Momma, is that ok Lord Sesshomaru?"

The TaiYoukai choked slightly from the shock, and Shippo had to hide behind Kagome so that he wouldn't know he was laughing.

"Rin that would not be appropriate." He choked out.

"Why not Lord Sesshomaru?" She asked.

"Because she is not my Mate, nor my Mate-to-be."

Kagome felt tears come to her eyes. She moved away slowly, resting the TaiYoukai's head on the pillow once more. "I'll be back. I have something to do. Shippo, stay here."

Rin smiled. "Be careful, Kagome-sama!" She said, though her eyes were shining with tears.

"Be back soon, Momma." Shippo said, touching her hand with his paw.

She smiled. "I will." She said, taking her bow and arrows before walking away.

Sesshomaru watched her walk away. He had smelt it – the salt and her sorrow. It clouded her scent heavily, becoming thicker with his words.

He snarled, startling Shippo. Why should she be upset? She rejected him!

The goddess's spiteful words ran through his head. "You stupid puppy! She loves you! She was just looking out for Kouga, she doesn't love him!"

He closed his eyes, still tasting the strange meat she gave him. He would not care. He refused to fall to these emotions, no matter what was happening. He never should have let his mask slip in the first place. He would not make that mistake again.

Shippo, who was sitting with Rin again as they colored, glanced at the demon. He wasn't stupid, he knew Kagome cared for him, and that she left because she was crying. She didn't like others to see her cry, and she tried to be strong. Poor Kagome, always being hurt.

When Kagome had gone far enough, she fell back against a tree, her glaring up at the sky. "That jerk! She cried, tears flowing down her cheeks silently. "That arrogant prick! How dare he?"

She turned her glare to her lap, covering her face with her hands as she sobbed. "Why? Am I not meant to love?"

"That's not true at all, Kagome, and you know it." Echoed a smooth voice.

Kagome didn't need to look up to know who it was. "I don't care! You were just messing with me! He doesn't love me, and doesn't want anything to do with me!" She cried harder now, everything just coming out all at once. "I don't want this! I don't want to feel this pain anymore!"

Aphrodite's gaze softened as she knelt next to the crying Miko, pulling the young woman into her arms. "Kagome let me tell you something. You are meant to do great things. You're name will go down in history, and the country will forever be grateful to you. You will be very powerful, known for your kind heart and gentle nature and protective motherly facade." She spoke.

"I don't want to be famous! I just want to be happy! I want to be loved!" She cried into the goddess's embrace, taking note that her toga never got wet with her tears.

"I know, little one." She said, running her hand over Kagome's hair like her mother use to do when Kagome had nightmares. She relaxed somewhat. "You want to have peace, and be with your friends and family, and you will. But there are many things that destiny has in store for you." She gave a small chuckle. "Kagome, look at me."

Kagome, whose sobs were reduced to hiccups, looked up at the goddess. Aphrodite smiled. "You will find love. You have. He's an ass, but he's your ass. You'll soon find that you have that prick of a demon wrapped around your finger."

Kagome gave an unfeminine snort.

"It's true." Aphrodite placed two fingers under the Miko's chin, making her look in her eyes. "Everything will work out, I promise." A sinister glint came into her eyes. "If not, I'll have my Father make a shock collar!"

Kagome had to smile at that one. "You're strangely acting mature." She said.

"I have my moments." Aphrodite said. "Now dry those tears. That TaiYoukai can't come retrieve you, so you had best go back."

Those words made Kagome straighten up in remembrance. "What did you and your son do to him?"

Aphrodite laughed, standing. "He's right fine. There's a simply cure for him, you know."

Kagome looked at her expectantly. The Goddess smiled secretively, and leaned into whisper to Kagome.

The Miko's face burnt red. "I have to do what?"

"Oka-san! You're back!" Shippo said, bounding up and going to her. Kagome walked right past him, a large blush on her cheeks. Rin and Shippo watched as she nearly marched to the TaiYoukai and knelt beside him.

When Sesshomaru felt her return, and her closeness, he opened his eyes to look at her, studying her features. She had a charming blush on her cheeks that spread over her nose, and ran down her neck when she saw him looking at her expectedly. He wondered how far down her neck it went, before pushing the thought from his mind.

"Miko." He said simply.

Kagome closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. Why was this so hard? They had done it several times before! She opened her eyes slightly, before lowering her lips to his. A shocked Sesshomaru barely had time to register that her soft, smooth lips were pressing against his, because they were gone instantly and his lips felt strangely cold.

"Gomen." She said hastily, before standing up and briskly walking away.

Sesshomaru's eyes were wide, and he could clearly hear Rin clapping in the background.

Then, he felt his body relax from its stiff position, the spell wearing off. (She broke the spell.) He thought.

In a flash, he was gone, going after the Miko and leaving the children to Jakken's care, who had passed out from watching the Miko's actions.
