A/N: This chapter was so annoying to write. I had writer's block from the last chapter but the day I updated the last chapter, I started writing parts of this chapter. I wrote maybe a page before I got writer's block again but I still managed to write something...

I had just noticed that Sesshomaru told everyone that they weren't allowed to leave their rooms; that didn't happen… or more like my hands didn't listen to my brain… anyways, on with the story!

Made For You

Chapter Eight

The Book

She woke up with a huge headache. She rubbed her head for a minute until she felt a sharp pain in the back; that was when she remembered that Sesshomaru grabbed her and threw her across the room by her hair. Kagome blinked and looked around the room. Her friend Sango was still asleep and Kagome for a second wondered what time it was. Shaking her head, she brought her legs over the side and sighed. Somehow she knew that it was going to be a long day; how long? She didn't know.

She sighed again and got off. She noticed that her mother was sleeping on the floor and she thought that it was weird. Someone that looked like her mother shouldn't be sleeping on the ground; it just wasn't ladylike but who was she to think that? She slept on the ground all the time. She walked over to her yellow backpack that had been forgotten and searched through it for a new set of clean clothes. She found a pair of light blue skinny jeans with a chain hanging off the right side and a bright red shirt with a black skull in the middle. She took off Inuyasha's haroi and placed on her new outfit. She grabbed a brush and a hair tie. She brushed her hair and brought it up into a high ponytail with a couple loose strands hanging in her face.

Kagome silently walked out of the room and of course not listening to what Sesshomaru said about leaving. She strolled down the long hallways until she came upon some stairs. They didn't lead downstairs. They lead upstairs and she was suddenly hit with a mass amount of curiosity. She looked around to where she was; no one was anywhere around or near her and she definitely didn't feel anyone here or upstairs, so she walked right up.

When she got up there, she was amazed by how empty it was. There was one window straight ahead of her, so she went over to it as her jaw dropped. The scenery was beautiful. Sesshomaru's land stretched her miles on end. Millions of tall trees stood proud around the castle. To her left, she noticed a huge garden. She smiled when she saw the little girl named Rin that would always follow Sesshomaru around, playing in the garden. She turned to her right and saw a bunch of guards that looked to be training or something. She tilted her head as the sun shone in her eyes. She closed them and she finally knew the time of day. It was a little passed noon. She didn't even know that she slept that late.

She went back down the stairs and came face to face with none other than Sesshomaru. "Ehehe… hi," she said as she looked up to him as he narrowed his eyes towards her. She swallowed; knowing well enough that she wasn't allowed to be here and knew that she was still supposed to be in her room. "Nice weather we're having…" She then passed right past him and ran down the stairs. When she got to the bottom, she sighed in relief and decided that instead of going to her room that she would try and find the garden that Rin was in. It took her an hour to find it but sadly there was no Rin. She guessed that she went inside.

She stalked over to a tree that was near the garden and sat down against it. She yawned. She couldn't be that tired right? What even happened last night? She couldn't remember, no matter how hard she tried. She narrowed her eyes in frustration. She knew that this day would be long even if she didn't wake up early. Her eyes widened when she felt jewel shards. She quickly looked to her left and saw Kouga coming over to her. She sighed in relief again when she knew that it wasn't someone that would hurt her. "Hey, what's up?" she asked as he sat down next to her.

"Nothing really; I needed to get away from my father. He was ranting on about something that I could care less about," he answered as he looked at her. "You should really wear something like that more often. I like this." Kagome blushed. She knew that she should be used to his blunt statements but apparently she wasn't. "So, what about you, has anything happened since I last saw you?"

"You saw me yesterday," she said as he grinned.

"Yes, but I meant, anything from after that."

"Well, I'm not sure. I don't even remember yesterday." She sounded worried about that. She sighed for the third time in less than ten minutes. "You do know what happened to me?"

Kouga shook his head. "No, but I do know that I broke Inuyasha's nose yesterday," he said as she turned to him in disbelief. "Don't look so shocked. You came out of a room and Inuyasha didn't come out after you, so I figured out that something was wrong. What happened anyway?"

She did remember why she was mad at Inuyasha though but that would the only thing sadly. She glanced at him and then looked the other way. She wanted to tell him but she didn't want him to know. "I can't tell you," she said as she watched Kouga frown.

"You'll tell me when you're ready?" Kagome could only nod. Kouga turned to his left and glared. His father was calling for him and he didn't want to go. He wanted to comfort Kagome because her aura was sad. He sighed. "I have to go. My father just realized that I was no longer listening to him. You'll be okay, right?"

"I'll be fine. " Kouga knew better but nodded anyway and left. Kagome watched him go and sighed yet again.

Inside the castle walls, sad dark green eyes watched her. Her daughter was depressed and there was nothing that she could do to help her. She made her way to the door and left. Tirachel walked through the halls for a good ten minutes searching for someone. When she came upon a door, she knocked quietly. "Come in," said a voice from the other side. Tirachel walked into the room and stared at the lord of the castle. "What do you want?" he asked as he scanned through papers.

Tirachel—at first didn't say anything as he looked up to her. He was glaring at her, which she caved in immediately and started speaking. "Kagome is depressed and I thought that maybe you could do something about it…?" Tirachel had something up her sleeve, that much Sesshomaru saw but he didn't know what just yet. His glare darkened at her. "I just thought that maybe—"

"Go back to your room," he ordered. He wanted nothing to do with this or Kagome. "If you don't leave now, I'll force you off these lands."

Tirachel wasted no time in getting to the door. She knew of Sesshomaru's temper. She had watched him as he grew up so she decided long ago that she would stay as far away from it as possible. She did pause at the door though and turned to him. She had her eyes to the ground as she talked. "She's not as bad as you think. I know that you know that you can't ignore this. Her aura is calling to you." She left as quickly as she came.

Sesshomaru stared at the door for the longest time before he let out a long drawn out sigh. 'Damn that woman,' he thought as he stood up and walked over to his large window. He turned his attention to Kagome, who was staring up to his window. He knew that she couldn't see him but it was quite annoying that Tirachel was correct. Kagome was calling to him without trying. Sesshomaru closed his eyes in annoyance and reopened them. His left eye was twitching and it seemed like it wasn't going to stop. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he headed towards Kagome.

Outside, Kagome was thinking about Inuyasha's reaction. He wanted her to leave because he didn't want her to be with his brother. Why couldn't he just accept that she didn't want to leave or the fact that she couldn't. She sealed the well; making sure that she couldn't go back. She couldn't go back because her family was no longer a family. With her mother dead and her grandfather and brother gone; she thought that she would be better here because she had friends that she considered family. She didn't even know that Inuyasha would react like that. She looked to the ground as she then glanced to her right only to see a pair of black boots. She gulped as she slowly looked up to see Sesshomaru. She was surprised when he suddenly sat down next to her. "Things never go according to plan," he started out by saying as Kagome looked at him weirdly. "There are some things in life that never go the way that the person wants and they have to accept that; if not, then there's no point in life if they can't move on."

Kagome's jaw dropped as she blinked. This was something that she definitely wasn't expecting. "But… I can't help it," she said in a low voice that even Sesshomaru had a hard time hearing and he was sitting right next to her. "Inuyasha said things that weren't fair and even Omorthan couldn't help much with telling me that it wasn't Inuyasha's choice to decide for me…"

He listened to her and raised an eyebrow in question, which Kagome didn't see, which was also why Sesshomaru started talking. "Inuyasha says a lot of things that don't go through his brain fast enough," he said as Kagome giggled at that. "It doesn't mean that you should listen to him."

"But Inuyasha's my friend and I take his word seriously most of the time even on topics like these."

"Why does Inuyasha want you to leave?" It was a question that was driving him nuts.

Kagome looked at him with sad eyes that even a human shouldn't have. "I left my family after my mother died. I came here thinking that no one would mind that I stay here but then I told Inuyasha what happened and he went off on me because he didn't want me to destined for you," she answered as Sesshomaru's eyes widened ever so slightly. He wasn't expecting her to be so truthful with him but he did respect her for admitting it to him. "I thought that he would be okay with me here; no matter what happened." Kagome actually felt relieved that she was saying this to another person and his aura was calming her down too.

He nodded, understanding her worry. "As much as I hate to admit it, Omorthan's statement last night is correct. You shouldn't listen to Inuyasha even if he does want you leave. It's not his decision to make. You chose to stay here and that's fine as long as you think it's what you want," he said as Kagome watched him. He glanced to her and saw her smile at him. He was taken back.

"Thank you," she said. "That's exactly what I needed to hear." She leaned her head against the tree in complete content; without a care in the world.

Sesshomaru took this moment to completely shock her. "Omorthan will no longer be helping you in training." She turned to him with wide eyes. "I will be helping you instead." Her eyes widened more and her jaw dropped as he stood up. "I will begin your training tomorrow. Be ready," he told her as he suddenly disappeared, leaving Kagome twitching slightly.

She blinked. Did he seriously just say that he would be training her? She blinked again and a third time. 'Damn… I knew that this day would be long. Now, I'm not even going to be able to think much. I'll be too focused on what he said...' she thought as she decided to get up. She stretched and then walked over to the castle door, which is where she was suddenly attacked by a ball of orange. She looked down to see Shippo. She smiled to him. "Good afternoon," she said as he grinned up at her.

"I heard what Sesshomaru said to you and I can't wait to watch that!" he exclaimed as Kagome laugh nervously. "So, what can we eat around here? I'm hungry." Kagome giggled at him and opened the door, heading to the kitchen which she figured was somewhere near the dining room.

After their breakfast, Shippo had scurried off to probably annoy Inuyasha, which left Kagome to think. She didn't exactly know what she was going to do with the training; she knew that she wanted to become stronger but could she live up to Sesshomaru's training? Did she have the ability to match him? She sighed; she was giving herself one bad headache. She looked around to where she was and came to the conclusion that she had no idea where she was. Her legs were just leading her to wherever but she did come across a library.

She walked right in—not caring if anyone was in there or not. She felt like she was drawn to something. The library was huge; that was for sure. She went left, and then right, then right again, and finally up some stairs. She turned a corner and then stopped in her tracks. Her hand moved on its own free will and pulled out a book on; The Tale of the Chosen One. Her curiosity got the better of her and she went to go find a place to sit. Once she sat down, she opened to the first page. Those that bear the mark of a crescent moon will become the next lady of the Western Lands, it said. Kagome didn't know if she should be scared or not. She had already known this from Sango but actually reading it meant something entirely different.

She continued reading. Every four hundred years, a female is born to wear the mark of the next lady of the Western Lands. The female that is born to wear this mark will be destined for the lord—who is currently in position. Often times, the female is weak and causes the lands to perish, thus losing all—even one's self in the process. Kagome shivered at that sentence. Would that mean that she would cause Sesshomaru to lose everything? She shivered again, knowing that if that did happen, he would probably kill her. She flipped through the pages, coming across sentences that caught her eyes.

The females that accept this destiny are the only ones that will help and gain new material throughout their reign. Kagome's eyes narrowed at that. She didn't want to accept it; no matter what but the next phrase completely and utterly scared her. If a female does not accept her destiny, she will die. When the female's soul cannot be complete, the female will go into a deep depression that no human nor demon nor spiritual being can bring them out of. The female will eventually give in to the need to kill herself and when that happens, the female's destined one will cease to exist as well.

Kagome suddenly closed the book and moved it across the table. She finally decided that she no longer wanted to be in the library and as she turned to leave, she glanced back at the book and noticed that there was a weird aura around it. It was calling to her. Kagome noticed that there were more people in the room but no one seem to see that this book was glowing. She swallowed hard as she slowly went back for it. She grabbed it and held it to her chest as she speeded out of the library. She headed to her room.

When she got there, neither Sango nor her mother were there, which was weird. She knew that Sango wouldn't go against Sesshomaru's orders but her mother was a different story. She shook her head and sat down on her bed with the book close to her side. She looked down to the book as it suddenly opened by itself and turn to a specific page. Kagome knew that something was not right and instantly grabbed some paper and a pen from her bag. On that page there was a poem; page fifty-two. I often hear of my destiny; to which, I have yet to find. People around me always get the best of me; But to you, I'm always kind. Promise me that when you hear my call; You'll come, so I will not fall. The book closed quickly just as Kagome wrote down the last part.

She also wrote down the page number; making sure that she wasn't about to forget it. She was curious at the moment and went to the page only to find out that that poem was no longer there. Instead, the page was blank. She blinked. How was that possible? She closed it and reopened it, thinking that her mind was playing a trick on her; it wasn't though. 'How is that even possible?' she thought as she looked at the paper with her writing on it. She was at least happy that she wrote down that poem. She re-read it a couple times, trying to understand what this was trying to tell her. The most that she knew was that it was indeed trying to tell her something but what, she didn't know. She suddenly got a wicked thought as she practically ran into the door. She quickly walked next door and knocked on the door.

She waited for a moment until someone answered. They blinked. "Lady Kagome… what can I do for you?" said her friend, Miroku. He noticed that she was grinning wildly and even he knew that that wasn't a good thing. "What seems to be the problem?"

Kagome handed him the paper. "Please decipher this!" With that she ran away and down the long hallways. Miroku blinked twice before looking down to the paper. He was happy that Kagome taught him how to read her writing or else he might have a problem. He closed the door and looked over to his roommates, Inuyasha—who was looking out the window, not caring that someone had come to the door or the fact that it was Kagome and Omorthan—who had his hand over his eyes, he looked like he was thinking. Miroku placed himself down on the bed and looked over the paper.

The first line was easy. Kagome's destiny had yet to be designed but people are constantly telling her about what she has to do. He read the second line and narrowed his eyes. Kagome didn't tell him how long he had to decipher this but he knew that knowing Kagome, it would be a while. With his knowledge, he began thinking what this meant.

Sounds of loud foot falls could be heard throughout the castle as Kagome ran. As she was running, she was almost running into everything and everyone—keyword; almost. She was looking for her mother and wasn't having any luck. She—at one point—was thinking about going to see Sesshomaru, seeing as he knew where everyone was in his castle but decided against it as she turned a corner and ran into the person that she had almost decided to go see. She fell on her bottom and pouted. That was not was she was expecting as she got up and dusted herself off. She looked up to Sesshomaru, who had an eyebrow raised in question.

Kagome rubbed the back of her head nervously as she laughed. "Uh… you wouldn't happen to know where my mother is, would you?" she asked as he stared at her. She shivered when he continued to stare at her, unmoving. "You know, you could just point me in the direction…"

Sesshomaru didn't do what she asked and walked away from her as Kagome huffed. As he strolled away, he could hear Kagome complaining about ignorant demons and their egos. He smirked as he then heard her march away from where she was.

Kagome glared daggers at his back as he past her and started to mumble. She then realized that he never answered her and she continued her glare even when he was no longer in sight. "Damn him," she said to herself as she turned around and slowly started to walk in some direction. She passed multiple doors and surprisingly no windows. She stopped in her tracks and took a deep breath in and let it out. Her head turned to the left and she saw stairs that led downwards. She went down them and then turned to the left again—heading straight for the kitchen.

When she entered the kitchen, she found her mother with Inuyasha—who decided that he was bored and went to find Tirachel after Kagome left—was helping in trying to make something to for Kagome. He had yet to figure out what Tirachel was doing. "Will you hand me that please?" asked her mother as Inuyasha grabbed something off the counter and turned to see Kagome standing in the doorway. He looked away from her and handed the item to Tirachel. Tirachel, who sensed the tension suddenly in the kitchen, turned her attention to her daughter—who was watching her. "Oh, Kagome, it's nice to see you. How are you doing, my dear?" Kagome didn't answer though as her mother frowned. She turned to Inuyasha, who looked at her and got the hint that he wasn't needed. He stalked out of the kitchen. Tirachel looked back to her daughter. "What seems to be the problem?"

Kagome took a bit to answer and she did say something. "I was wandering and ended up in the library. I found a book that was calling out to me," she said as she watched her mother's eyes widened in curiosity. "It's called The Tale of the Chosen One. I read some lines in it and truthfully, it scared me."

Tirachel turned her full attention on Kagome. "A book… how does this book scare you?" she asked as she carefully watched Kagome. Kagome climbed on the counter and swung her legs a bit as she looked down. Tirachel—if one was to look closely—would see her eyes held worry. She knew of the book and nothing good could come out of the book in particular.

"It said that if the female were to decline her destiny, then she would be lead to depression and that depression would led her to death; not only the death of herself, but the death of her soul mate," she replied as she heard Tirachel gasp. She looked up just in time to see whatever she was working on, fall over and all over the floor. From what Kagome could see, there was a light source coming from her right. She glanced to the side, only to see InuTaisho.

"Oh dear," Tirachel said as she rushed to get something to dry up the mess she just spilled. She didn't even take note that InuTaisho was there. "Oh my…"

"My, what did you do?" he asked as she finally looked up. Her eyes widened when she saw him. She obviously wasn't expecting him to pop up out of the blue like that—according to her face. "Tirachel, what happened and why were you trying to form a spell?" That got Kagome curious, worried, and nervous all in a matter of seconds. That was not a good combo.

A/N: Okay, so the eighth chapter is up. Wow, this is amazing. I've never gotten pass the third chapter of anything and I'm still surprised that I managed to write this. I, personally, think that this is my favorite chapter. I got descriptive in this one a bit.

Just for fun, if anyone wants to make art of this story, I'll love you forever and plus, I would love to see peoples way of awesome skills. You don't have to if you don't want, I just thought that it would cool.

Anyway, for those that wanted some fluff—well, I gave it in a sense of comfort but not the kind that some wanted… ¬~¬ Comments/Reviews are loved.
