InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Thought Away ❯ The Deep Forest Is Where I Hid My Heart ( Chapter 7 )

A Thought Away

By Luna G

A/N: For this one reviewer, who seems utterly confused………this fic is a sess/kag fic, not an inu/kag fic. It is pretty obvious in previous chapters that this is a sess/kag fic. They kiss each other and they admit their love, and think about each other very often. This is definitely not an inu/kag fic for if it was then Kagome wouldn't be in Sesshoumaru's castle nor would she be taking fighting classes against him. And why on earth would I write an inu/kag fic? To make it even more obvious, the summary clearly says SESS/KAG! Understand? Any comments? Goodness, it's not that hard to comprehend that this is a sess/kag fic by all the damn things they do………if you are still persistent and you clearly believe that this is an inu/kag fic……… just wish and believe in yourself. But don't tell me what I'm writing is wrong. If you don't like it then don't read it. Simple as that. {Yea I know I sound like I'm PMS-ing but there are some stupid things that bother me!}

Disclaimer: I did never claim InuYasha, nor would I ever. It is rightfully owned by Rumiko Takahashi and I am nothing but a lowly fanfic writer/reader. So please do not sue for it will get you nowhere. I have nothing to give except ::reaches into pocket:: NOTHING because my pants does not have pockets. And there is only 35 cents in my piggy bank. Unless you would pay a lawyer for that………

"Damn, can you please stop trying to act funny? Can you please hurry, I have other things to accomplish besides all your babbling!" The audience yet again yells.

"Oh you want some more babbling?" The audience groans.

"Alrighty then, lets get on with the show." I reply.

Chapter 7:

Kagome was done with her classes. She breathed a sigh of relief. It was week four………2 more weeks `till she gets her point straight to InuYasha. Kagome was excited. `I'll show that piece of shit how it feels like to be me!' Kagome tried to sound brave to herself. `Oh well, we would have to wait and see.' She sighed again. Kagome decided to go to the music room. It's been a long time since she touched the cold, hard keys of the piano, which played the melodious sounds of any kind of feeling. Music can find a way to heal you in ways you would never expect………

*~*~The Music Room~*~*

Kagome sat straight on the stiff piano bench and tried to recall the notes of a Chopin prelude.

`Preludes are short and sweet, they would do good exercises. And maybe after play more and try vocal exercises.' Kagome started. She remembered, as miraculous as it seems. She played smoothly, with her fingers delicately pressing each key.

`Sesshoumaru's baby grand is brand new! Never been played. No wonder its hard to play these hard bothersome chords.' Kagome played anyways. She then finished three minutes later and decided to sing a song, that sounded so familiar as she sang and played.

"bokutachi wa ikiru hodo ni

nakushiteku sukoshi zutsu

shinjiteru hikari motome

aruki desu kimi to ima

fukai fukai mori no oku ni ia mo kitto

okizari ni shita kokoro kakushiteru yo

toki no rizumu o shireba mo ichiru toberu darou

bokutachi wa samayoi nagara

ikite yuku doko made mo

shinjiteru kihari motome

aruki desu kimi to ima"*

Sesshoumaru's ears perked up as he heard her striking voice. Something about that song and voice that reminded him of something in his past. Sesshoumaru just stood still and listened.

*~*~Sesshoumaru's Childhood~*~*

"bokutachi wa ikiru hodo ni

nakushiteku sukoshi zutsu

shinjiteru hikari motome

aruki desu kimi to ima

fukai fukai mori no oku ni ia mo kitto

okizari ni shita kokoro kakushiteru yo

toki no rizumu o shireba mo ichiru toberu darou

bokutachi wa samayoi nagara

ikite yuku doko made mo

shinjiteru kihari motome

aruki desu kimi to ima"

"Now don't you forget me………my lovely child. I will be off on a journey. I may not come back. But you must move on. I will leave you with your father. Hopefully he will keep you in good care. Just remember this song and my voice. It is the only thing I can give to you. You understand?" Sesshoumaru's mother said gently. Little did the 6 year old boy know what was going to happen.

"Yes mother. I will fulfill your wishes as my duty. Mother will you leave me? On your journey which seems so far, can you bring me something back?" Sesshoumaru said as he started to sob. His instincts told him something was going to happen………which was bad. He stared at his mother's beautiful blue eyes and gentle face. He couldn't bare or even think of her leaving.

"Oh, my dear, I am so happy you will fulfill your duties. When you become a man, and are at marrying age which is about 17-22 in human years, find a woman, who cares about you, is intelligent, lovingly, and last but not least she must be beautiful and young. My journey might be long. You will find that out in the future. As for a souvenir, I can't promise that. Remember never to tarnish your name or father's name by doing immoral things. I taught you better than that. Just remember that I am your mother and that song I sang to you. May it ring in your head always." Sesshoumaru's mother said as she cupped his small delicate face. She started to tear up too. She didn't want to die, not only because her son was only 6 but because she shall be executed in place of his father's mortal concubine. There is nothing she could do. But pray that her son will succeed this mortal woman's child. `A hanyou, how disgusting.' Sesshoumaru's mother said dismayed.

"Milady, it is time." A servant said gravely.

"I love you Sesshoumaru! Don't ever forget me!" His mother yelled as she was being pulled away. Trying to touch Sesshoumaru's hand.

"Mother, I love you! I will never forget you! Please do not leave me! I'm not ready." Sesshoumaru screamed at the top of his lungs as his nanny grabbed and carried him away. He cried for many nights wishing for his mother………he never knew the real truth until he was 15. That's when his envy for InuYasha arose. He didn't want power, he wanted vengeance for his mother. It was InuYasha who tarnished his name and his father's name.

Kagome walked out of the room to see Sesshoumaru leaning on a wall, crying silently.

"Sesshoumaru, are you okay? Do you need some help?" Kagome went to Sesshoumaru and hugged him as he leaned on her shoulder and cried.

"Oh it's nothing………I was thinking about my mother. And how she died. The reason why she died. In place of my father's concubine………and his new child………Inu………Yasha. He forgot about me." Sesshoumaru noticed what he was doing and pulled himself together. He stood up straight.

"Thank you Kagome. I am sorry. It was your song. It was my mother's song and your voice sounded the same. It was beautiful. You should sing more often. You sing like a nightingale. Thank you."

"Aw, Sesshoumaru. It's okay. We all become emotional sooner or later. It's okay to admit your feelings. But you must know that the past is the past and we all did wrong. And if you need anything I'm here." Kagome brushed his cheek with her hand and stared at his piercing amber eyes.

"I love you Kagome." Sesshoumaru took the chance and kissed her on the lips. She kissed back. Another of those memorable moments………

A/N: HEHEH! I wrote a fluffy chapter. I thought that Sesshoumaru was a lil bit too emotional. But who gives a shit? He needs to be `Mr. Softy' once in a while. You gotta give him props!

*In case you didn't notice, the song sung was "Fukai Mori" The second ending theme song of InuYasha. I thought it was suitable because if you read the translation of the lyrics, it's really powerful!

Ja Ne,
