Moments
"One must never lose time in vainly regretting the pastnor complaining against the changes which cause us discomfort,for change is the very essence of life."Anatole France
Sango sat inside her room thinking about all that had transpired during the past week with Kirara curled up by her side. She was concerned for Kagome ever since what had happened between her and Inuyasha. But it seemed as if Kagome did not love Inuyasha as much as she used to since he had broken her heart...again. Now it seemed as if she held more feelings for the cold demon Lord that ruled the Western Lands.
She would have to talk to Kagome of that she was sure of. That way she would really get the answers she needed to her many questions. Yet she was not sure if she should confront Kagome because she might not be in any mood to speak about it. But then again if she did not do anything then they would be getting no where.
Sango was roused from her thoughts by a loud knock on her door. Sitting quickly up from the bed she walked to the door and opened it to reveal Miroku.
"Good evening Sango, my dear" Miroku greeted with a large grin and he held Sango's hand in his own.
"What do you want you lecher?" Sango asked irritably as she snatched her hand back from Miroku.
"No need to be so rude" Miroku said with mock hurt. His voice soon turned serious; "I believe that we need to speak with Kagome as soon as we can, it has been bothering me ever since we first found out that Sesshomaru took her."
"Yes, I have been thinking the same thing. Let's go find her now." Sango called for Kirara and walked out of the room with Miroku walking beside her. They soon made it to the outside of the castle as they began their search for Kagome. Sango suddenly heard a sound that seemed as if someone was crying.
"Do you hear that?" Sango asked Miroku as she stopped to listen as well.
"Yes, it sounds like Shippo. I wonder what can be wrong?"
They started walking towards the sound until they came to Shippo who was sitting in a patch of flowers with his small kitsune paws over his eyes. Upon hearing the footsteps of Sango, Miroku, and Kirara approaching he lifted his head to watch them come closer.
"Go away" he sniffed as he wiped the tears from his face.
"What's wrong Shippo?" Sango asked as she knelt down by the small kitsune.
"Nothing, I don't want to talk about it."
"Come now Shippo, you know that you can tell us anything" Miroku reasoned as he too sat down beside the kit.
"Please?" Sango added.
Shippo sighed and turned his eyes towards the sky before he spoke; "It seems that since we found Kagome that she does not c-care about me anymore. She's always with S-Sesshomaru and Rin. I don't think she like me any..anymore." Shippo's eyes filled with tears again before he turned towards Sango and jumped into her arms.
Sango looked to Miroku worriedly. They both nodded and stood up with Shippo still in Sango's arms and continued on into the forest until they came upon Kagome, Sesshomaru and Rin.
"Hey guys!" Kagome called out as she saw her friends approaching. She noticed their worried and curious expressions and wondered if something had happened that she did not know about. Her eyes moved to Shippo who clung to Sango's front, trembling in her arms.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked as she stood up from the ground where she had been sitting beside Sesshomaru.
"Can we talk to you Kagome-chan?" Sango asked as she looked into Kagome's eyes that rested upon Shippo.
"Sure..What do you want to talk about?"
"Kagome-san, may we talk somewhere private?" Miroku spoke up as he saw the hestiant expression on Sango's face as she looked over at Sesshomaru.
"Yeah, I'll be back in a few minutes" Kagome called over her shoulder to Sesshomaru before walking away with her friends. They walked a distance until Sango was sure that they were far enough away that Sesshomaru could not pick up on their conversation.
"So what's up guys?" Kagome asked as she looked from one of their faces to the other. She noticed that Shippo kept his eyes shielded from her sight and wondered what was wrong.
"Shippo? Are you okay?" Kagome asked worriedly. She knew that she had not really paid much attention to him since he had came here and now she felt regret for it.
"We've been worried about you Kagome" Sango spoke up at last as she looked her friend and sister in the eyes.
"I know and I'm sorry. I should of came to you guys before I ran off that night, I am truely sorry. I hope that you can forgive me?"
"We understand about that Kagome-san but we would like to talk to you about the relationship between you and Lord Sesshomaru" Miroku spoke up next in a slightly less worried tone than Sango spoke with.
"Oh..I see, You might want to sit down for this because it might be a bit of a shock" Kagome said before sitting down with her knees tucked under her before starting. "Well first off Sesshomaru found me that night after I had ran from seeing Inuyasha with Kikyo and took me to his castle. I was unconscious at the time and so I didn't know what was happening. I soon figured out that Sesshomaru had taken care of me because he wanted me to get Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha. At first he was mean and utterly rude to me but that changed one day. He saved my life...He saved me from myself."
"So it is really true that you tried to end your life?" Sango asked with a hitch in her breathe.
"Yes, I was so lonely and depressed at that time that I was willing to do anything to get rid of the pain. But Sesshomaru saved me from myself, like I said. Every thing went better from there on out. Sesshomaru started to act nice around me and even complemented me. I never thought that this would happen to me but...I have come to love Sesshomaru." A few surprised gasps came from her friends and Shippo turned his head to look at Kagome.
"You love Sesshomaru?" Sango asked incrediously.
"Yes.." Kagome answered somewhat dreamily.
"Yet does he love you Kagome-san?" Miroku asked.
"Yes, he told me that he loved me this morning."
"But what about Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"Inuyasha? Well I still love him but not like a mate. I love him as a best friend or a big brother. I'm sorry that I can't love him the way that he wants me to but I can't forget how depressed I feel when he goes to see Kikyo. I would be better this way, besides I realize that I love Sesshomaru more than I have ever loved Inuyasha." Kagome finished with a sad note in her voice but it was soon replaced with happiness as she saw that smiling faces of her friends.
"Kagome?" Shippo spoke up hestiantly as he got loose from Sango's arms and came to stand in front of Kagome.
"Hai, Shippo?"
"Do you still care about me?" Shippo asked softly as he looked up at Kagome with tears on the rim of his large eyelids.
"Of course Shippo, I love you as my son. I'm so sorry if I ignored you when you came here, I was too emotional to say anything, will you forgive me?" Kagome reached her arms out for Shippo with sorrow and apoligy in her eyes.
"Yes mama!" Shippo cried joyously as he launched himself in Kagome's arms and sobbed into her chest. Kagome held him against her tightly as tears came to her eyes as well as she ran her fingers through Shippo's red hair. They pulled back after a minute and looked at each other sheepishly before laughing at their actions.
They were soon joined by Sango and Miroku who couldn't help but laugh at their own actions from before.
"Momma? What are you laughing at?" Rin asked as she came up behind the laughing group to look at the scene. She had heard the laughing from where she and Sesshomaru were at and wanted to know what was happening as the curious child that she was.
"Oh Rin, we are laughing at ourselves for acting so foolish" Kagome said as she calmed down to see Rin and Sesshomaru standing behind them.
"What do you find so foolish about yourselves that you laugh?" Sesshomaru asked amused but with his usual mask back in place.
"For acting so scared and worried when there was nothing to be scared about" Kagome said before standing up with Shippo in her arms and turned to Sesshomaru. Kagome felt a slight shiver from Shippo and looked down at him to see him looking at Sesshomaru with frightened eyes.
"Don't worry Shippo, Sesshomaru won't hurt you and if he does then I will hurt him" Kagome reasurred Shippo who in turned smiled up at her and stopped shaking.
"Hurt me, will you?" Sesshomaru asked amused with a perfectly shaped eyebrow raised.
"If you hurt my pup then I will" Kagome joked with a small smirk.
"Oh really, how about we test that theory out?" Sesshomaru asked going along with the act as he took a small step forward.
"Hehe, I was just joking" Kagome said taking the evil glint in Sesshomaru's eyes as real as she took as step back.
"I see..Then you don't mind if I harm you kit?" Sesshomaru asked as he looked down at the small fox in her arms. He noted with a slight hint of pride at the way Shippo looked up at him with no trace of fear in his eyes and instead replaced by a newfound respect.
"You would not harm my son...would you? You would wouldn't you?" Kagome asked incrediously as she took his silence for an negitive.
Sesshomaru let a small amused grin replace his usual passiveness and reached out to Shippo. He lay his hand on the kits head for a second before retracting it to lay back at his side. He watched as Kagome's mouth hung open like a fish out of water as she gaped shocked at him. He brought his hand up again and placed it under her chin before closing her mouth with a snap. The blood rushed to her cheeks in embarassment before he turned from the group and headed back towards the castle.
Kagome heard the laughter from her friends and her cheeks heated up even more. Turning around and placing Shippo in Sango's arms she ran after Sesshomaru. She looked through all of the gardens and after not finding him there she went in search of him in the castle. She first went to his study where she found him at his low desk, reading over a faded parchment.
When she stood directly in front of the desk he raised his gaze to meet her slightly angry and embarassed one. Placing her hands on her hips she bent over until her gaze was level with his own.
"What's the big deal?" Kagome asked with a growl.
"I do not know of what deal you speak of" Sesshomaru replied to get her even more riled up. He would not admit it but he liked to get on Kagome's bad side because she would start ranting and wouldn't be quiet until he silenced her with a kiss.
"Embarassing me in front of my friends!" Kagome said with her voice slightly raised for she did not want to hurt Sesshomaru's sensative ears.
"I was merely doing you a favor for you were sure to catch flies if you kept your mouth open any longer." Sesshomaru had to hold back a chuckle as Kagome's face heated up with a light blush and she lowered her eyes until she was outright glaring at him. Knowing what would get her back to her happy and modest self he let his gaze roam down her kimono until he had a clear view of her chest.
Kagome wondered what had suddenly captured his attention and followed his gaze until she was looking at her own chest. With a small shreik she stood up straight and held the front of her kimono together as she turned her back on Sesshomaru.
Before Kagome even knew that Sesshomaru had moved he was behind her and pressing himself up against her until their bodies were flush against each other. His hands snaked around her body and gently removed her hands from holding her kimono together. While he was doing this he moved her raven hair aside with his nose and nuzzled the soft flesh of her neck underneath. He heard her sharp intake of breathe and moved from one side of her neck to the other.
While he was lavashing her neck with kisses and nips his hands were at work running over her bare collarbones. Her skin felt like nothing he had ever felt before, smooth and pale against the dark blue of her kimono. He could hear the rapid beat of her heart, confined within her chest and the slight shiver of pleasure that coursed through her body.
His hands traveled on their own, further down from her collarbone as he pressed one to her rapidly beating heart over her smooth breast. The right hand gripped her waist and pulled her closer to his body until there was not a centimeter seperating them. His tongue snaked from his mouth and licked a path from her ear to her shoulder.
Kagome felt as if she did not have enough breathe in her body to sustain her from the pure pleasurable torture that he was ravaishing on her body. Without thought or reason she held her own hand over Sesshomaru's that he placed on her breast as the other reached behind her and tangled in his silver hair. She had never felt hair so soft and beautiful as his was. And the contrast between her raven locks and his silver hair was beautiful beyond comparison.
Her breathe became ragged when Kagome felt the noticable hard bulge pressing against her lower back. Without thinking she turned around with Sesshomaru's hand still on her breast and pressed the front of her body against him. A low moan escaped from both their throats at the sensation yet wanting more than Kagome was ready for. Kagome experimentally reached her hand down and barely touching, pressed her hand against his hard lenghth. A sharp intake of breathe and gripping of claws on her neck told her that Sesshomaru enjoyed the feel of her small hand against him.
Kagome suddenly felt another presence in the room as well as Sesshomaru and turned their attention to the door where they spotted Shiro and Inuyasha staring at them dazedly. Kagome felt rather than heard the annoyed moan that emitted from Sesshomaru at the interruption. Kagome also felt disappointed but knew that they could finish what they started later on in the day. Taking a small step away from Sesshomaru she greeted their two visitors.
"Good evening Inuyasha, Shiro-sama" Kagome said with a nod of her head at Shiro.
"Um..Did we come at a bad time?" Shiro asked with a blush adorning her pale cheeks as well as Inuyasha's.
"No, not at all" Kagome answered with a wave of her hand.
"Okay..."
"Did you wish to see this Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru asked as he walked over to his desk and sitting down, motioned for the others present to take a seat.
"Yes, I have come to deliver the message from Lord Takoro of the Eastern lands."
