Chapter 19

He had just finished telling her what he had to say, how she had met his lord, how she had grown to love him yet he could not believe that she was not believing a word he was telling her. Although she had asked for the truth it seemed as if she refused to listen to it. Just as he was about to tell her the reason, the real reason that would have granted her, her memories back, Kagome turned to the door while throwing the flea over her shoulder and asked, "Who is it?"

"It is me…Lord Inuyasha, may I come in?"

Before Myoga could say a word, Kagome stepped on him and threw him out of the balcony window and said, "Come on Lord Inuyasha."

"You will be eating in your room tonight; my brother has many things to do and cannot have dinner with you tonight." Inuyasha growled as a maid followed in after him and set a tray of food down for her.

"I want to see the man that has claimed now." Kagome growled out in anger. "I will not be ignored after he has marked me."

Inuyasha let out a low grow of his own and waited for the maid to leave the room. Once she was gone, he took a step toward her as she let out a growl of her own before adding, "I demand that you take me to him now!"

As he let out an enraged growl of his own, Inuyasha pinned her to the wall as he began to suck and lightly bit the mark he had left on her neck. Once she had gone completely still and waited for his reply, "Do not forget wench, I also marked you. You do not only bare the mark of my brother so do not be little me."

Once he had let go of her, Kagome feel to the floor, and to her knees as a sudden memory hit her. Before she could even let out an angry growl of her own, or demand his reason for marking her, Kagome locked eyes with him as he growled out, "I'll come and get you in the morning when my brother wishes to eat with you. Until then you are not to leave this room, understand?"

"I understand, Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered as her eyes were still glazed over with a mixture of pleasure and confusion.

Thinking that he had gone too far, Inuyasha stormed out of the room in a rage. He hadn't meant to scare her like that; hell he hadn't meant to make her think that he had marked her only because his brother had done so. However he had no idea that the reason she had reacted the way she had was because she had actually gotten a memory of what Myoga had told her. 'He was right…Inuyasha…he is the one that I loved but…what will I do not…is he really right for me? Or will he leave me for Kikiyo? God I feel so lost.' Kagome thought as tears began to roll down the side of her face.

Not feeling hungry at all, Kagome took in a deep breath and made her way to the balcony. She knew that she would have to face the truth that she had been told. She would have to soon realize that she was really meant for Lord Inuyasha and no one else. After enjoying some of the fresh air, Kagome walked back in, had the tray removed before she changed into some sleeping clothing that Inuyasha had set in her room and went to bed.

That night, Kagome slept at ease knowing that she was safe and that she would be safe so long as she remained in that room. However she had been so tired that she had not noticed the late night visitor that had entered her room to check on her. Once he was sure that she was not going to wake up, Inuyasha walked over to her bed and covered her up so that she would not get cold. He knew that she would be able to tell that he had entered her room but he didn't care, he just wanted to make sure that she was alright.

Just as he had turned to leave the room, Inuyasha froze in his place when Kagome reached for his hand and mumbled, "Please, don't….don't leave…stay…Inu….yasha."

"Feh," was all Inuyasha had to say was he got closer to her bed as she griped his hand tightly.

Once she had completely fallen asleep, Inuyasha slowly got out of her bed and left her to her dreams. Once he had closed the door behind him, Kagome slowly began to wake up as she felt the loss of warmth that had helped her sleep moments ago. After looking around and realizing that Inuyasha had been in her room, Kagome claimed out of bed and made her way to the bath room to wash her face. 'What was that? Those dreams…were they…could they have been…my memories?' Kagome thought as she poured cold water all over her face.

"Lady Kagome? Are you alright?" the flea was heard.

"I am fine, just get out of here, I do not wish to hear any more of your stories. I don't want to know anymore…my dreams…my heart….it hurts whenever I try to remember anything. Just leave me alone." Kagome whispered in a broken voice.

"But Lady Kagome, you must want to know the ending…" Myoga pressed.

"Leave or be killed." Kagome growled out in anger as she made her way back to her bed.

Without another word, the flea demon took his leave and began to make his way to his Lords room. He was not sure of Inuyasha would b awake or asleep but he did not care, he needed to tell him what was going on. Myoga needed to tell Inuyasha that Kagome was starting to remember some things but she did not believe was she was starting to remember, she did not want to believe because of the pain that it would bring her.

Upon entering the room, Myoga find Inuyasha sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. Knowing that this was not the time to upset his lord, Myoga approached him with caution and said, "My Lord, may I speak with you?"

"What is it you flea?" Inuyasha growled in a calm voice.

"Are you aware of Lady Kagome's health at the moment." He asked.

"I know she doesn't remember me, I know that she doesn't want me…maybe I should just leave her be." Inuyasha growled.

"You can't do that my lord." Myoga stated as he began to jump up and down on his master's hand.

"And why is that?" Inuyasha growled out in anger.

Myoga took in a deep breath, locked eyes with his lord and answered, "Because she is starting to remember some things…you must wait…and help her."

After dressing back into her robes, Kagome made her way toward the dresser so that she could comb her hair. Once she was dressed and was happy with the way she looked, Kagome looked around and tired to stay calm. If she waited for Inuyasha to come and get her he would only make her want him again, he would only confuse her once more. After taking in a calm breath, she slowly let it out while surrounding herself in pure miko energy. She had no idea why she even had such control since she didn't remember ever having it but she didn't really care. If it could help her got out of lock down she would use it to her advantage.

As she walked out of the room and through the halls, Kagome noticed that not even the human maids could see or hear her walking down the halls. She could hear her own foots steps as she walked down the lonely halls but she knew that they would not be heard until she wished for them to be heard. 'What am I doing? I should just go back home and ask my mother…she is the only one I can trust…if she says that I love…Inuyasha….I love Inuyasha….' Kagome thought as she stopped walking only to yell out, "Why does it feel so right saying that?!"

When no one answered and once she was sure that no one would come looking for her, Kagome took in a deep breath and tried to calm her racing heart. She was lost and confused and hated it. All she wanted to do was go home, or go somewhere where she would be able to think without worrying about who would be looking for her or who would be worried if she went missing. Just as she had reached the garden, Kagome froze when she heard his enraged voice growl out, "What the hell do you think you are doing wench?"

As she turned to face the inu hanyou that had found her, Kagome let out a low growl and said, "First of all I was not going to stay locked up like some animal, secondly…the name is Kagome…Ka…go…me….get it right."

As soon as the words had left her mouth, Kagome froze and feel forward as the world around her threathened to go black. Flashes, of what seemed to be memories, evaded her mind. 'What…what…is this?' she thought.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha growled out in worry as he moved to catch her and keep her from following and slamming her head against the cold ground.

"Uh…Inuyasha….you jerk." Kagome mumbled before passing out in his arms.

"My lord?" a maid was heard as she appeared in the garden.

"Tell my brother to meet me in Kagome's room. Tell him that it is important and do not keep me waiting." Inuyasha ordered before he stormed off to take Kagome to her room.

"Yes my lord." The maid stated as she made her way to go and see the Great Lord of the West.

He had not expected her to find out so quickly and had not expected her to wait to send out an invention for her to come and see him in the west. He knew that his brother must had had something to do with it but thought nothing of it. He would rather put that off for a day then deal with his mother and her threats. Just as he had finished writing the letter that would allow her entrance to his lands, Sesshomaru looked up when his head maid say, "My Lord, your brother wishes to speak with you in Lady Kagome's room. She has fallen ill my lord."

"Make sure that our meals are not served until we are ready to eat." Sesshomaru growled before making his way to go and make his to Kagome's room.

"My lord, if I may." She called out.

"Speak." Sesshomaru growled.

"Although she is a hanyou I fear that she is not well. I request that you allow me to go and get Master Totosai so that he can make a seal for this girl. She will break soon and it will only cause trouble for you my lord." She spoke. She knew that truth of hanyou's. She had been the head maid since before he was born, his father trusted her and she had yet given a reason as to why he should not.

"Do as you wish, go and get the old man but do not take more than two days. I want him here before my mother arrives." Sesshomaru growled.

"Yes my Lord." She stated before turning to take her leave.

Knowing that she would do as he wished and that she would probably be back by the end for tomorrow, Sesshomaru made his way to Kagome's room. As soon as he had walked in, he found his brother sitting in her bed with Kagome in her arms. After closing the door behind him, Sesshomaru glared at his brother and said, "You have best not called for me just to show me her choice."

"It's not why I called you here." Inuyasha growled out in anger.

Before he could ask why he had been called for, Sesshomaru noticed the sweat running down Kagome's face. He noticed her pale skin and noticed how she began to look feverish. After taking a calming breath, Sesshomaru locked eyes with his brother and said, "I will call for a doctor to come and tend to her. I have no idea what poison she was given but it will be taken from her.

"You know damn well who poisoned her." Inuyasha growled back in anger.

"You have no proof to show that it was my mother that has done this." Sesshomaru growled out in anger as he turned to leave the room.

"I won't eat until she gets better." Inuyasha added.

"Then you will only harm her." Sesshomaru growled back.

After letting out a very dangerous growl, Inuyasha locked eyes with his brother and said, "If she dies, if I lose Kagome I will kill your mother. I will use my claws and slowly tear her apart…if that happens, don't you dare try to stop me."

Kikiyo and the others had started their days. While Sango stayed close to the children and played with them to get her mind off of things, Miroku stayed close by Kikiyo hoping to improve his spiritual powers. Just as they had started their travels, Kikiyo had placed a barrier while Miroku ran up to protect Sango as well as Shippo and Rin.

"Rin, Shippo stand back!" Miroku was heard as Sango drew her sword. Although she had her regular weapon with her she was not willing to risk hurting the children with her weapon.

"Give me the jewel shards." The demons growled as they approached the barrier.

"We will do no such thing." Kohaku stated as he drew his weapon.

"Then you'll all die." They growled

"I want my Oka!" Shippo cried out in sadness as he turned to leave the group so that he would be able to go back to the western lands, back to his mother.

"Shippo!" Sango called out in worry.

Before Shippo could even get to far from them, Miroku caught him while Kikiyo and Sano ade quick work of the demons that had surrounded them. Once they were sure that there were no other demons that would come after them, Sango turned to Kikiyo and said, "We need to do something about this. We can't keep all the shards."

"What do you suggest we do then sister?" Kohaku was heard.

"I think we should take them to Kagome. She is protected and it's not like anyone is stupid enough to try to enter Sesshomaru's lands without his permission." Sango explained.

"I cannot do that, I gave my word to Inuyasha that I would not enter the western lands until I had the jewel to give to Kagome." Kikiyo stated in a sad voice. "I will not go back on my word."

"I'll go…I want to be with my Oka." Shippo was heard as he got out of Miroku's hold.

"You can't go alone." Sango stated.

"I'll take him to the board; he should be safe once he enters the western lands." Kohaku offered.

"I want to go back home also." Rin was heard.

"I'm sorry dear but it is not safe for you there." Kikiyo replied.

"I want to see Lord Sesshomaru!" she yelled.

"I'm sorry Rin but you will just have to wait just a bit longer." Sango soothed as she pulled the girl into a small hug.

"Kohaku will you be alright taking Shippo back on your own?" Miroku asked in a worried voice. He had after all grown to care for the boy.

"I'll be alright; if you want I'll go and come back. I'll take Kirara with me." Kohaku answered.

"We will wait for you in the nearest village. I believe you know the one I am speaking of." Kikiyo was heard as she began to lead the way.

"What village?" Sango asked as she lifted the crying girl up and into her arms.

"It is a village where the people know what I am and do not fear me. We will be safe there no matter what demon tries to attack us." Kikiyo explained.

"Kohaku be careful." Sango stated.

"We will…come on Shippo." Kohaku stated as he got on Kirara and took his leave.
