The Miko's Taiyoukai

Kagome awoke in the beautiful bedroom in one of her softest, silk nightgowns. She sat up on the bed and looked around casually for Sesshoumaru. The young woman walked around the large room and looked in the bathroom. He must be in his office.. she concluded. Kagome was about to step outside of her bedroom when she remembered what she was wearing and where she was coming from. Although, it was early in the morning, she was certain that maids and other servants would be up and about and she wasn't sure how much she wanted all of them to see her stepping out of their bedroom in a tiny silk nightgown. Kagome changed into her favourite jeans and blue shirt and walked out if the bedroom. As she expected, the staring and whispers still continued, but she did her best to ignore them. The miko peeked her head into Sesshoumaru's office and found him sleeping silently at his desk. Kagome was astonished to see him sleeping in such a position. His head was propped up by his hand that was resting on the desk.

"And so he sleeps.." Kagome whispered to herself.

He seemed soo tired, sleeping deeply. Silently, she tip-toed up to his desk and looked at his face. She smiled softly to herself, looking at his unusually peaceful expression.

"Se-Shou-Maru" she said quietly. No response.

"Seshy!" she said a little bit louder. Still no response.

"Helooo Shesshoumaru!" She said, touching his silver hair softly. He awoke quickly, obviously caught off guard. Kagome giggled as he realized that he was still in his office. He looked back at the smiling miko.

"You were..." he began.

"Watching you sleep peacefully? Why yes, I was!" She smiled. ... That sounds a bit like a stalker... Kagome thought quietly to herself.

Sesshoumaru lifted his hand and waved it in her direction. She looked at him quizzically as he spoke.

"You! Go fetch the other guests. Quickly." He said sternly. Kagome tilted her head.

"Me?" She pointed at her chest as he looked at her in exasperation. A servant quickly entered the room with the others. Kagome quickly stood up straight and turned at the servant who gave her a dirty look. Yikes she thought, I really am hated here aren't I? Kagome sat in one of the chairs that faced Sesshoumaru. In her head, she prepared herself for a long, LONG battle discussion. Here we go!

--

After almost two hours of planning and discussing, Sesshoumaru dismissed the groups and suggested they rest for the next few days. Sesshoumaru watched Kagome chatting to her friends while all of the maids watched in disgust. He knew that they all thought terribly about her, but what could he do? He didn't care for they're approval, but he knew that she did.

The miko closed to door behind her friends and turned quickly.

"soo... about this morning..." She said, smiling. The taiyoukai growled and rolled his eyes. He looked back down at his work and read over some more of the documents. They young woman giggled and skipped over to the window. She looked out it the huge rose garden, filled with sweet scents. Her eyes glazed slightly before she spoke.

"Sesshoumaru... would you like to go down to the rose garden with me?

Kagome danced into the rose garden, her ebony hair blowing softly in the wind. The beauty of the roses, only surpassed by her own. She turned to look at him and for a moment, they're eyes met. Deeply caught in this lovestruck gaze, the miko didn't notice that her shirt has blown up, uncovering her chest for the entire palace to see. She quickly pushed it down and turned away, obviously embarrassed.

The taiyoukai's soft chuckle came to a halt when he sensed another presence. His guard was up, but not for long. He could smell that half breed's ville scent already.

Inuyasha plopped down beside Sesshoumaru and looked over at the dancing miko. For a a moment, Sesshoumaru didn't think about anything, but that didn't last for long. Had he seen Kagome when her shirt had blown up? Was he picturing it? Why is he staring at her so intently? Is he still in love with her? Why am I asking myself soo many questions?

"Heh."

Sesshoumaru glanced at the hanyou as he spoke.

"I gave up a beautiful girl, didn't I... take good care of her Sesshoumaru... she deserves it."

The hanyou stood and returned to the palace before Sesshoumaru had time to reply. What was that all about? Sesshoumaru was startled as he noticed the miko standing bent over, in front of him. She always seemed to be able to catch him off guard.

"What did Inuyasha say?" she asked, sitting down beside him.

He grunted in return. She giggled and touched his hand. He turned to look at her as her lips touched his own. They sat there for a moment, before she pulled back. Her eyes widened and her hands clenched. Kagome stood carefully. The taiyoukai looked back, but saw nothing.

"What.. is wrong?" He asked silently. Kagome's eyes were fixed on something that he couldn't see, but he didn't need to see, he already knew what it was.

--

Kimi materialized once more in front of Kagome. She smiled slickly as Sesshoumaru turned around.

"What.. is wrong?" he asked. Kagome froze as the youkai flashed from one spot to another in less than a second. She flashed from the left to the right, from the front to the behind and succeeded in confusing the miko.

Suddenly, Kimi stopped behind Kagome and whispered into her ear

"Whats wrong, you don't like my new powers?" Kagome spun around to find nothing, but soon felt her presence again behind her.

"Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked, standing up.

"Oh Kagome!" Kimi mocked.

"Whats wrong, why do you look so?" He asked, taking a step closer.

"Oh whats wrong Kagome? why do you look so... frightened"

Kimi grabbed Kagome's hand violently and smacked the taiyoukai who was slowly approaching.

"Now now Sesshoumaru, it my turn to speak to Kagome! You wait your turn! Oh, but thats right.. you don't look like you like my new powers... hmm, maybe we should see if your friends like it more than you do! Yes, I think that, that is a wonderful idea!"

Kimi disappeared, leaving Kagome stunned.

That meant... she was going after her friends.

--

Kagome burst into Inuyasha and Kikyo's room breathing heavily. Nothing out of the ordinary here.. she thought... Sango and Miroku!! Kagome ran down the hall and threw open Sango's bedroom door. They were playing with Kagome's cards, laughing and joking. Nothing was different, not a single thing out of place. Was Kimi doing it just to scare her? Was she lying?

A cold wind blew by Kagome and made her shiver. It was only then that she realized that she had first, looked really weird, then hit Sesshoumaru for no reason, then run into the palace frantically, freaking out all of the maids and servants along the way... nice job Kagome... nice job.

--

Miroku felt his head tighten, as if something had entered it. His head almost felt frozen, cold as winter. The monk rubbed his hands around his head to be sure that it wasn't opened. Sango stared at him as he sighed in relief.

"Why are you sighing like that?" she asked.

The monk simply shook his head and continued on with the game, occasionally touching the top of his head.

After a few hours Shippo went off to bother Inuyasha and Kikyo, leaving Miroku and Sango alone. He found this an excellent chance for some fondling and walked up to Sango. She was sitting on the bed looking out the window. Even though he often hit on other women, she always would have a place in his heart. There was no way in hell that he could ever let her go, not now that he had her so close. He would never dream about hurting her, never dream about bringing fear into that beautiful face.

Just then, Miroku had the worst head ache he had ever had. It tore through his head and felt like a thousand daggers going through him. He could feel himself loosing control of his body, expecting to fall. The only thing was, he didn't fall, he didn't even flinch, he just continued walking. The young monk tried to stop himself from moving, but had no control whatsoever. He even tried speaking, but his mouth just wouldn't move.

Eventually, he sat down on the bed beside Sango, making her turn towards him. But it all just went downhill from there. His hands lifted and were placed on her neck.

"Miroku?" she asked, looking worried.

He involuntarily applied pressure and pushed her down. Her eyes widened as the pressure continued to be added.

"Mi... ro... kuu...?" she asked weakly. The pressure continued to be added and her face just got grimmer and grimmer. The harder his hands would press, the darker her eyes became, the faster his heart would beat.

NO! Stop it dammit! Why is my body doing this?? Stop!

Sango closed one eye, and when the pain became unbearable, tears began to run down her face.

"Mi... ro..." her words were shaky and broken "...ku..."

Miroku found himself smiling, laughing while the demon slayer's tears continued to fall.

"Finally, I know... finally... I will win." Miroku's body said evilly.

The young monk tried his hardest, and succeeded in pulling his hands back. But as soon as he regained control, his head felt like it was tearing once more. He screamed and held his head, thrusting it back onto the bed. Sango coughed, rubbing her neck harshly. Miroku gritted his teeth trying to endure the pain, but it was no use, he quickly feel unconscious and lay silent on the bed.

The young demon slayer tried to catch her breath, but soon became nervous from the silence.She bent over him and looked down, still slightly out of breath.

"Mi... Miroku?" She said quietly. No reply.

"Miro... Miroku... are you... are you alright?" She asked quietly, shaking him slightly. Still no reply.

"Miroku! Can you hear me?" she asked, slightly louder. Her throat hurt, but she knew that something was wrong with him, there was no way that he would purposely hurt her.

They young monk remained silent, not moving an inch. The only part of him that had moved, was the slow rising and falling of his chest. Sango looked around for some way to help him, and in huge distress, she ran into the bathroom and cupped water in her hand. Carefully, she splashed the water onto his face. He twitched at the cold feeling of the water. Movement at last!

She continued, and he eventually awoke, blinking slightly. He looked tired and distraught, looking at Sango in shame.

"Sango... I.." he stopped once she put her finger softly on his lips.

"Its okay. I know that something was wrong... I know... that you would never try to hurt me... I just... I just... I was just caught a little off guard..." she smiled softly as his eyes closed once again.

Her hand was shaking still, but not as fast, the tight grip that he held was stopping her from shaking. She knew that whatever had possessed him had scared him as well and that she had no right to blame him. He may fondle her, or do stupid things, but this was one thing that he would never... ever do.

--

Sesshoumaru stood in the garden, looking around, feeling slightly stupid. He honestly had no idea why she hit him, or ran into the palace as fast as she had, but he knew that she did it for a reason, whatever that may be.

It wasn't long before she emerged from the large burgundy doors. She walked back to him, blushing slightly. Sesshoumaru already knew that there had to have been something wrong with her to make her act as she did.

"Uhh... well, umm, you know, well... heheh... uh, so, umm... im sorry for uhh.." her stuttering continued until she looked up to see him smiling slightly.

"This Sesshoumaru is not mad. There was obviously something wrong, and I will not hold you for it." Kagome smiled and hugged him softly. He returned the favor before they both continued back into the castle.

--

A chill went up Kagome's spine as she thought towards the future. Anything could happen now, and its most likely not going to be too great.

"The battle... begins tomorrow doesn't it?" Kagome asked silently, under the warm sheets.

"Yes." Sesshoumaru replied, holding her tight.

"Let's win.. so that.. everyone can have they're freedom... okay?"

Sesshoumaru chuckled quietly before replying.

"Yes."

Hi everyone! Okay, so read the following sentence quickly THIS IS NOT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER!! This chapter is not over, I just wanted to explain something. The next part that I am about to write, is about Kimi. Now, I know that she is quite hated, but that isn't exactly my intention. She has had a terrible past, and that is exactly the thing that I want to explain in this next part. It takes place when Kimi was but a child, and there will not be any Inuyasha or Kagome or Sesshy in this mini chapter. This is all about Kimi, to the point of explaining her evilness. Anyway, I will shut up now so that you can read! ALSO!! Please, do this, I swear to you, it wil make you feel the chapter more, go on youtube, and put in the words "Death Image" its the theme song for the beginning and middle of this chapter, but at the end, I would like to ask you to put in the words "Coda Death Note" and choose the first song that pops up. Yes, they are from the Death Note sound track, but they have alot of feeling in them, and they are what I listened to while writing this. Anyway, thank you, and please enjoy your read.

p.s. This mini chapter is actually called "Forever and Ever, My Lonely Song Of Death"

The small girl walked around the trees, swinging and dancing. She sang the song that her mother had taught her before her death.

"Ki wo tsukete kami sama wa miteru!

"Kurai yomichi wa, te wo, tsunaide kudasai,

"Hitori de tooku demo itsumo mitsuketedashite kureru!

"Shitteru koto wa, zenba oshiete kureku!

"Watashi ga oboetanakute mo

"Nandodemo, oshite kureru!"

She sang and danced. Her lonely song of death. The other children were afraid. She was a demon. She had red eyes. She sang, this lonely song of death.

Only one child liked her song, that boy's name was Kota. This silly little boy would chase her and play with her, always trying to sing her song of death. But his parents would scold him. scold him for playing with, the "evil little demon child."

She had been adopted by the elders when she was only five. Though not much help they did. She was beaten and shunned by everyone in the village. Everyone, except this silly little boy.

Kimi often wished to herself that she was human so that she could play and dance with the other children. So that she could have a real mother... and a real father.. and even real brothers and sisters. But she had no one. No one.. except this silly little boy.

She had been mean to him, told him to go away, fearing the consequences that will come along with talking to her, but he always replied,

"What!? But being with Kimi is fun! It makes me happy! No matter what mum and dad say! And I promise, that one day, I will learn the song you sing.. and that day, I will leave you if you please.. okay?"

after that, he would always smile his goofiest smile, and they would play. And she would be happy. And they could be happy. One day, Kota handed to her the smallest little angel. The smallest little angel, that played the tune to her song of death. The tune, that she would sing to... forever.

But once day. Years in the future, one little demon child fell in love with one little human boy. They didn't belong together, humans and demons, but that little demon girl didn't care. as long as Kota was there, she could do anything, over come any obstacle. But somehow, as the years progressed, Kota lost that feeling, and moved on, leaving this little demon girl... alone.

He had found himself a wife, even at his young age. They were set to be married, the day after the next. Kimi was not informed and continued to tell this boy how she felt. What she felt.

But his reply was unexpected, unwanted. He called her disgusting, filthy, dirty... evil. He told her... that he only played with her when he was young, because he was naive.. a fool.

But soon the next day, he returned to her. He told her that all of it was a trick, and that he still loved her. That it was only because of his parent's wishes.

She believed him.

She stayed with him one night, and felt like he was finally hers. Like she was finally his. That they were connected. He told her to go to the temple, to meet him to run away. But the connection was lost somewhere, because he never came. She waited for two days in the rain, in the cold. Simply waiting for this one human.

The next day, news about his wedding had been spread around the village. Apparently, everything went smoothly and Kota was more than happy to be married. And in the following weeks, it was well known that Kota's wife had gotten pregnant... and that they were all, including Kota, more than happy.

Her heart broke. He didn't love her. She was a demon and he was a human. Humans lie, humans cheat. A human.. cannot love a demon. They will only hurt the demon, only trick and cheat the demon. Make the demon seem... like a fool.

She knew.. that she was a fool. A fool for loving this human boy. A fool.. for believing that a human could truly love a demon. God... god hated her. God.. had hated her because she was a demon. A demon that broke the rules. A demon that had tried... to love a human.

On that one... last lonely day of waiting. waiting fro this human, she left. She left the village. She left the area. She wanted to leave the world, but stronger than her want to leave the world, was her want to show everyone on it, that she was the strongest. The strongest youkai the would would ever know. And once day.. just... one day, she would go back to Kota. She would show him how powerfull she had gotten. She would show him how great she was.

And she would kill him. Kill him with her own hand, and kill herself. So that in that sense... they could be connected... forever.

--

Kimi sat on a large rock and held the angel in her hand, wound it up, and sang her song, once again.

"私注意しなければならない、
'原因神は私の一挙一動を見て、
私の手でこの暗闇のホールド、
たとえ、世界は、メインの電源をオンに、
たとえ遠くイム、とだけでも、
私は彼らの声は必ずものに達する、私は、
私ののどをナイフを所有して、
再び、
しかし、彼らの声は常に私行きつけの場所、
もし私を無視しようとし、
わたしは傷ついた入力し、
再び罰せられる、
わたしたちは罰せられる一度、再びです。
しかし、何が起こるときに、死亡者私の側では、入力し、後にはどうすればよいのですか?
次に何ですか?"

But this song, sung slowly, hadn't had the same affect that it did when she was young. She knew that one day, it would be the song that she would sing before her demise, the song that now represents her murdered parents, her broken love and now, her awareness. Her awareness to the words of her song. The awereness to the meaning of those words. To the words of her life. The awareness... to the words called death.

The english version,

I must be careful,
'cause god is watching my every move,
Hold my hand in this darkness,
Even when the world shall turn on me,
Even if im far away, and alone,
I can be sure their voices shall reach, me there,
I hold the knife to my throat,
once again,
But their voices always haunt me,
If I try to ignore them,
Then I shall be hurt,
Punished once again,
We shall be punished once, again.
But what happens when, deaths by my side, then what should I do after that?
What then?

... Alright. So.. does that give you guys an idea of why she is trying soo hard to split up Kagome and Sesshy before they get too attached to eachother? Mmmhmm, she had a very tough past and is my fav character in this story at the moment XP. Im going to really talk about her, and she is going to really affect the ending. I actually felt very sad reading her story, but my entire point, of writing this for you guys, is that she knows now, what will be her ending. How her ending will... end.

Okay, and I promised myself that I wouldn't, but I can't help it! DEATH NOTE! Oh my god. I couldn't believe my eyes hen I watched the ending. They did it soo well! Sure, they really killed my glorious "Raito dies in the harshest way possible"... ness... feeling, they did create a sense of agreement with Raito for me. I mean, sure, he got a bit twisted, but his intentions were correct. I mean, dude, a perfect world!! I would want that too! Well, he died so... meh. And yes. I did cry when L, Mello, Matty and Raito died. So shut up!! X3 I do not own Inuyasha.
