Punishment for Refusal
Kagome opened her eyes and sat up in bed when Chie had left her room, pushing the silk sheets off of her as if they were poisoned with Sesshomaru’s Dakkaso.
‘Why does my life always ends up in a disaster?’ she asked herself.
‘Maybe yours and Sesshomaru’s paths are supposed to cross’ Kagome answered herself.
‘Iie, Sesshomaru will only use me to get Tetsusaiga, all I am is a tool for someone to use over and over again.’
‘You’re too hard on yourself. That will be your downfall one of these days.’
‘Then maybe the after life will be better than my life on earth’ she thought sadly as tears gathered in her eyes.
‘Cheer up life ain’t all that bad, what about Mom, Jiisan, and Souta; you will always have a life in the future.’
‘No I won’t, everyone looks down on me as someone weak and pathetic. Even my friends in the future don’t want to spend any time with me. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Kaeda are the only ones who have made me feel good about myself.’
‘What about Inuyasha?’
‘Do not mention his name! He tossed me away like a useless piece of trash, I wish I had never met that damn hanyou!’
‘I was only trying to help, keep in mind that sometime someone will love you for who you are and not just for your abilities.’
“That will be the day that hell freezes over” Kagome said to the empty room. She fell back down on her bed; ‘Sesshomaru’s bed’ as tears threatened to fall from her closed eyes.
‘I will not cry for something that is not worth crying for; I should just not feel any emotions anymore, emotions just cause me too much pain and agony.’ Kagome willed the tears away from her eyes as she curled up into a ball, falling asleep because she knew that she would need as much energy as she could muster if she was going to escape from Sesshomaru the following day.
Later that afternoon Chie entered Kagome’s room once again to find her already up and staring emotionlessly into space.
“Daijbou Miko?” Kagome remained staring into space as if she had not heard Chie.
“Miko?” Chie walked in front of her looking into her eyes that looked like the deep recesses of an underground cavern, silent and dark.
“Miko?” she repeated more loudly this time.
“Hai, I'm sorry, I was lost in my own thoughts” Kagome said blinking her eyes to return them to their normal brown color. “Konnichi wa Chie-sama, how are you today?” she asked nodding politely to the older woman.
“Just fine Miko, there’s no need to say my name with such high respects” Chie said setting down a tray filled with different fruits, cheeses, and breads.
“I am a prisoner here am I not? So you are of a higher status than me” Kagome said then gracefully picked up a piece of grapefruit and slowly brought it to her lips, savoring its taste.
“Iie if you were a servant then would Lord Sesshomaru allow you to stay in such a fine room?” Chie asked as she watched Kagome daintily pick up another piece of food. Chie knew that Kagome had not eaten in a least a day and wondered why she did not seem as if she were hungry.
“Iie I suppose not, he must want me in good health or he wouldn’t of told you to care for my wounds” Kagome said thoughtfully, pushing the barely eaten food from herself and sipping on the sake that Chie had supplied her in a crystal goblet.
“Why are you calling me Miko instead of Kagome?” she asked as setting down the half drank sake on the tray.
“My Lord insisted that I call you as Miko or ningen.”
“Oh.”
“You need to eat more, I know for a fact that you haven’t eaten in at least two days” Chie instucted as she pushed to tray closer to Kagome.
“Iie arigatou Chie-sama,” Kagome pushed to tray back towards Chie. Chie looking once again at Kagome’s pale reflection, picked up the tray and headed for the door.
“I will return soon Miko” Chie said as she opened the door with one hand while balancing the tray of food on her other. She closed the door softly behind her after she looked at Kagome once again; she was staring into space as she had when she had first entered. Chie hurriedly took the almost full tray of food back down to the kitchen and returned back to the right wing of the castle and without knocking, went into Sesshomaru’s study.
“Chie, so you’re now barging in without knocking?” Sesshomaru asked disinterestly as he looked up from the scroll that he was engrossed in with an expressionless face.
“Gamen ni sai Sesshomaru-sama but I needed to tell you of Kag..the Miko’s health” Chie said with her head slightly bowed.
“Continue” his icy voice rang out through the room.
“When I entered her room she was listlessly staring at nothing as if she were in another world. She would also not eat but two pieces of fruit and half a goblet of sake my lord.”
‘So the wench refuses to eat’ Sesshomaru thought to himself.
“I am worried for her health my lord.”
“You said yourself Chie that her health was fine” he said bringing himself out of his own thoughts.
“Not her physical health my Lord but her emotional health.”
“I will see to her” he said with a small nod. He rose gracefully onto his feet and strode out the door, down the hall, and into Kagome’s room. Without knocking he entered the room and found Kagome the same way Chie had found her. Ignoring Chie’s pleading looks he stalked over to Kagome and grabbed her by the shoulders.
“Wench” he said calmly when she didn’t respond. He tried shaking her more forcefully but to no avail as she continued to stare out into space.
“Shimatta, listen wench!” he growled deep in his throat as he once more shook her by the shoulders.
‘This wench is trying my patience.’
“Miko!” he growled louder making the sound echo through out the room and most likely the entire castle.
Kagome blinked as she heard an angry voice echoing through out her mind, bringing her back to herself. She focused her eyes on the thing that was holding her painfully in their grasp. Once her eyes finally settled on the angry golden eyes she knew that it was Sesshomaru; his long claws were digging painfully in her shoulders where tiny streams of blood flowed down her chest and back.
“Sesshomaru” she said quietly without any expression on her face.
“You will address this Sesshomaru properly” he commanded as he kept his claws elongated in her skin.
“Lord Sesshomaru, are you happy now?” she said with sarcasm then winced as his claws punctured her skin even deeper as they seemed to grow another few inches. Kagome could feel the blood cascasding from her injuries as she tried not to wince from the inscrushiating pain.
“Do not speak unless spoken to wench” he growled threateningly. He was shocked as she remained speechless without screaming out because of the injury he had inflicted on her. Kagome slowly nodded her head trying to hold her tongue and keep her emotions from her face.
“Why did you not eat, is this Sesshomaru’s food too good for you wench?” he asked angrily as he unfurled his claws from her arms and stood up with his back straight, staring down at Kagome with icy eyes.
“I was not hungry” she replied shortly not even noticing as he removed his claws from her since the pain was still throbbing through out her body.
“You will eat whether you are hungry or not.”
“You can’t force me to eat anything” she said without emotion, enough to rival Sesshomaru’s voice.
“This Sesshomaru can and will” he looked once again at her pale complexion daring her to refuse.
“Iie.”
“Chie, leave” he said as he kept his eyes trained on Kagome’s eyes that were staring fearlessly at him.
“Hai, my lord” Chie obeyed as she scrambled out of the room hurriedly so as to not receive her lords wrath. Sesshomaru and Kagome continued to stare each other down as if willing the other to back down.
“Wench, for your insolence you will receive punishment” he said as he yanked her up by her right arm with his claws digging into her soft flesh.
“Do as you will, I care not” she stated as she stared at the opposite wall, not being able to keep her eyes locked onto his.
“Bitch, you will learn respect." He said as he grabbed her hair in a tight grip until her eyes were level with his.
“Kill me, I am no use to you” she defiantly stared back into his angry eyes.
“Iie, this Sesshomaru will break you” he said before flinging her carelessly against the wall that she had previously been staring at.
Kagome slammed against the wall feeling as if every bone in her body had broke. As excruciating as the pain was she managed to right herself on her feet and stared once again into Sesshomaru’s eyes. With a flick of his wrist he created his whip of light that slashed across Kagome’s abdomen with blinding quickness that made her cry out in pain. Retracting his whip of light Sesshomaru with inhuman speed threw Kagome back against the wall with his hand clenched tightly around her throat, his claws piecing her skin as small drops of dakkaso splashed onto her skin as he began cutting her air supply off. “You will beg for death when this Sesshomaru is finished” he sneered in her face.
“Then I beg, onegai give me death.” Her eyes slowly began drooping as she saw black swirling into her vision.
“Iie, worthless ningen.” Kagome suddenly lost consciousness and fell limp against the wall with Sesshomaru’s hand still around her neck. Sesshomaru slowly released his grip on her watching as she crumpled on the cold stone floor.
‘Damn wench, she dares to defy this Sesshomaru.’
‘You lost control!’ His blood beast growled fiercely in his mind.
‘Because of that damn zasshu’s wench.’
‘Control yourself or you might kill her.’
‘This Sesshomaru cares not if she dies.’
‘Then why did you save her?’ his conscious asked with a growl.
‘She has traveled with that zasshu for three years now, she know's his weaknesses.’
‘There is more to her than a mere tool!’
‘Not to this Sesshomaru.’
‘Is so, then why did you not kill her just now and why were you worried about her safety when she wouldn’t eat?’
‘Silence! This Sesshomaru needs not an incompetent beast telling him what to do.’
‘Stubborn ass.’
‘Leave! Now!’
‘Take care of her, you see her as more than a tool!'
‘Leave!’
‘Sayanora heartless bastard!’
Sesshomaru sighed in exasperation as his conscious mind left. He looked down at the unconscious Kagome on the floor then stooped to pick her up cradling her in his arm, brushing a stray lock of raven hair away from her eyes.
‘Beautiful...No! I will not stoop to such a low level as to have feelings for a ningen wench!’ Sesshomaru walked over to the bed laying Kagome down and strolling angrily out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
